How to restore system apps uninstalled by Titanium backup - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, everyone,
I uninstalled some system apps by Titanium Backup and cannot restore them.
com.android.bluetooth 4.4.2
org.codeaurora.bluetooth 4.4.2
I didn't know system apps cannot be restored after uninstallation by Titanium Backup. Googling on the web and this forum didn't solve the issue. I need these apps to use a bluetooth keyboard.
How would you solve this problem? Thanks in advance!

You're going to have to find a stock rom and rip them from it.

Hi, thanks for your answer.
Can I use a stock ROM from a different model / android version?

For best results, use one for the same exact build version of the software for your phone. You will also need a root enabled file manager to place those apps in the correct folder and change the permissions to 0644. Once done, and you reboot, all should be working again.

Ok, I'm gonna suggest something else. You can always flash a new rom, rip from stock. But you can also do another thing. TiBU have some issue with restoring system app. Just go to the folder of Titanium backup & find the zip for the uninstalled app. Unzip it & install as user app. Use lucky patcher to move it to system.

This would only work if they had made a backup of it. Most people do not backup the system apps.

If that's true, really unfortunate scenario. But from his post, I assumed he have had made a copy as he said something about trying to restore.

I googled for the stock ROM or bluetooth system apps and unfortunately couldn't find anything. Bummer.
> Dexter_S
I searched TiBU folder in my phone and... the files below were found.
com.android.bluetooth-cce29368f45328b59af3e7203f22e149.apk.gz
org.codeaurora.bluetooth-cd34ccf08cce473926d3ffe3c8972ae8.apk.gz
Wow, why didn't I looked for them in the first place? I decompressed those files and got apk files then tried to install them by
Code:
adb install -r org.codeaurora.bluetooth-cd34ccf08cce473926d3ffe3c8972ae8.apk
But it failed with error message.
Code:
2476 KB/s (287076 bytes in 0.113s)
pkg: /data/local/tmp/org.codeaurora.bluetooth-cd34ccf08cce473926d3ffe3c8972ae8.apk
Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_INTERNAL_ERROR]
Googling the error message didn't help. Any idea?

Issue solved
The issue was solved by updating the firmware to 5.0 Lollipop.
I updated the firmware to D5503_14.6.A.0.368_1279-6214_R3D.ftf (Xperia Z1 compact) by Flashtool and it worked!
Thanks for everyone who helped me.

FYI - Your previous issue with the installation of those files was because you did not follow my recommendation to install via root explorer and setting the permissions. You can not install system apps with that command, only normal apps that would be located in /data. Glad you got your issue straightened out though.

[Q] Download Manager for Market

Is there an app, that i can use to download a list of apps from the market. Like a text file with apps, trigger then the market and download all the apps in the text file, to save time.
Are you wanting this so you can install all apps at once after you wipe or install a new rom?
Use Appbrain.

Yes you are right.I know i can use titantium backup. But i could use it only when i have all aps installed.
If i don't have the apps, i have to choose and download it, one by one. You know what i mean ? It would be easier, if i have a list of apps that this "app" download all and install it for me.

Hmm...
You know if you use Titanium Backup you can restore all apps to the rom you are running at that point in time. I backed up all of my apps just now on CM Nightly #177, wiped all data, flashed a Sense rom, and the restored all of my apps back with a batch restore. I may be misunderstanding your post, and please forgive me if I am, but this works for me.
Also, I could point you in the direction of a tool where you could create your own update.zip. The tool allows you to create a zip containing all of the apps you use and then flash it after a you install a new rom.
Hope this helps. Forgive me if I misunderstood.

1.) I didn't know it was possible to do a batch restore?!
I've gotta look into that.
It would be a time-saver!
2.) Would you share that information? I have the same apps that I restore with every new ROM flash.
Would this only restore the apk? or apk + data, like Titanium does?!

I can't remember if the the batch restore is part of the paid version or not. I think you can batch restore in the free version but it isn't as automated. It is still a lot quicker than doing them one by one though.
Just open TB > Menu > Batch > Select the appropriate method
Here is the thread for for the tool I was talking about. regaw_leinad created it. Not sure about being able to restore app+data but off the top of my head I don't think you can.
Hope this helps!

[Q] Help with Titanium backup

Hi,
I did a backup using Titanium BU (v6.1.5.2) before installing the new rom. however, when i tried to restore my apps after installing the new rom i did not find my latest backup files. only few apps from older backup were there. when i checked the titanium backup folder i found that the titanium back up app created only the .properties files when creating the latest backup.
i am lost here, please can someone help me explain why TBU only created .properties file and did not give any error message.
i was moving from CM10.2/SGT7 4.3 to omni 4.4 rom. The rom was installed properly but i can not restore any of my apps with the settings/saved data.
i do have the apks of the apps but how to install them with the settings/saved data.

The move from those ROMs probably wouldn't have worked anyways...but I imagine that the titanium backup is on your device...the new ROMs are just looking in the wrong place for it...or you didn't have USB debugging on and your superuser might need updating..I'm not sure. This is all guess work on my part

[Q] Titanium backup not backing up app just data on 5.02

Ok guys here's my problem on KK with a sdcard mod I was able to use TB no problems. Yesterday I installed a rooted version of 5.02(lollipop) onto my device. Everything appears to work perfectly and root is fine.
Now originally I thought TB could read/write to the original TB location on external sdcard but my morning schedules failed. OK i thought and after some research I found a setting in the the setting backup location to allow lollipop compatibility.
But what I have found since is only data seems to be getting backed up no apk at all :/
pics attached show what i mean
pic 1 is what happened to an app I tried to backup in lollipop
pic 2 what the apps should look like taken in KK
pic 3 shows PSN app backed up in lollipop
pic 4 shows the backup of remote play taken in KK
Have I missed something in a setting or is lollipop screwing me around?
Any help would be grately appreciated, Ive been unable to find anything like this in google searches and I wanna get it ironed out before making anymore backups.
anyone?
Tried mount name space in SU settings but made no difference Still not sure whats screwing up.
To anyone using TB on lollipop I'm assuming you used the "create rooted firmware" method of installation. But may I ask how u used TB to restore and currently backup?
Did u use a Premade backup zip for reinstalling or standard batch method from app?
Have you tried to make a backup of a user app since reinstalling, does it backup correctly with market link etc?
Did you have to change any SU settings or TB settings for proper function?
From what I can gather TB can't find the installation path of the apk so doesn't back it up and loses the market links etc.
EDIT: I appear to of solved the problem by using sd card fix on platform xml instead of using document provider in setting up the storage folder.
Hello ? I've same problem but I'm still unable to solve. Could please share how exactly you sorted out the problem. Thanks in advance

On ti backup I changed the location where it found my backups (on SD) and used "Document Provider" since ti says it's recommended for devices 5.0 and up or something. After that you just have to select the root of your SD card (not ti backup folder) and then select the ti backup folder. I don't know why ti didn't do this by default since it knows what my android version is but now it works and I'm happy.
edit: btw I know it's an old thread but it was one of the first results on google so I'm replying here.

Titanium Backup crashes as soon as I try to open it

Hi!
i've just installed LineageOS 15.1 on my Moto Z Griffin. I've installed Titanium Backup to restore some apps, but as soon as I click on the app icon I get the message that Titanium Backup has stopped. I've tried to uninstal it and install it again, but with no luck.
I've seen this article, but I don't have the file "com.kermidas.TitaniumBackup-1.odex" in /data/app.
Did this happen to anyone else that got it working eventually?
Thanks,
Andrea
Bump.....
I've tried contacting the development team, but I had no answer
I know it's late now, but I just recently experienced this, the fix was as follows for anyone else who comes across this issue in the future:
1. Install a root file system app, navigate to and delete the following folder:
/data/data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup​
2. Uninstall and re-install Titanium Backup
3. Vuala, Titanium Backup up and running again​
@MrElectrifyer this method still works as of April 2021. I'm on LineageOS 18.1 thank you!
I found that folder under: /data_mirror/data_ce/null/0/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup
But after several attempts, it didn't work for me.
Solved it by uninstall TB, wipe the folder, reinstall and then before starting again I had to grand specific permissions in the App Setting for: Files and Media + Contacts + Phone.
After that It works for me with LineageOS 18.1 and SM-A520F (Galaxy A5 2017)

Hi!
Didn't you accidentally delete the whole /data/data/Installed apps( /data_mirror/data_ce/null/0 ) folder?

Back up apps with data and settings

Hello all,
after trying several roms at the moment, it bothers me more and more to install all the necessary apps again, set them up, log them in etc..
There is Titanium Backup etc. but I read that these have problems with Android 12/13. Is there an app that can help me here?
I imagine it like this: Install on existing system, select apps, then it will create a file with the apps, settings etc. In the new Rom, I install the app and say, please restore backup X. Then everything is there again as usual, without reconfiguration etc..
Thanks and greetings
