Can't restore my backupped app-data by ES-Explorer or AppMonster. No matter whether I use LP-data or fresh MM-data. No matter whether CM or Haxynox.
Anybody succeeds?
The backup apps have to update to MM in order to work. At the moment the only Backup/Restore app that works is Titanium Backup (as far as I know). I tested it by restoring Lollipop apps with data on a Marshmallow ROM.
Sorry for choosing this Q&A-format inadvertently.
@Darkened_Sky: you build ROMs - can you give me or ES-people tip how to solve it?
@rp158 no idea. the app develeopers have to update it
I found a work-around for ES:
- install app only, without settings
- start the app one time & close
- install app with settings
ready
In Tesla-AOSP-MM for the 1st time restoring of settings works fine. With ES 4.023, surely not a revised version. So it has obviously to be solved by ROM
I searched for an alternative for ES, due to its annoying development, and found EasyBackup (+TotalCommander).
EasyBackup succeeds in restoring settings for MM, AOSP and CM-based, when ES and Titanium failed.

When I open it, press Backup/Restore I don't see any apps. All I see is:
Country, Language, Time zone
Wi-Fi access Points
Bluetooth Pairings
Accounts
Application Widgets
but nothing else. The apps I want to backup/uninstall is not shown.
I tried searching and google, but nada
Click "Problems?"
this happened to me when I switched a Rom before. not sure of which Rom but I had to find my titanium backup folder and place it into what was considered the new root folder. like I said I cannot remember which Rom it was that I flashed but the root folder was the default folder for my files app. hope that helps.
You can also try installing the recommended busybox Titanium uses.
Just to let anybody else know, I had the same problem and I used the BusyBox from Ti backup instead. That fixed it. I tried rebooting and restarting the app, but it needed a newer/different version of BusyBox to get the job done. I'm using a myTouch 4G with the stock, rooted, ROM.
I just cleared data and cache and that fixed it!
one quick question in setting up the upgrade from 1.3d to 1.4:
When using Titanium Backup, I back up all user apps + system apps.
Once upgraded to 1.4 can I restore also system apps, or I can mess something doing this? It's better to restore only user apps?
Thanks
You don't need to use any apps to restore after upgrade. All the apps should still be there if u only did an upgrade without a reformat factory settings
Thanks but if I understand correctly the Dexter's instructions, he recommends to do a Wipe (Factory Reset) before and after installing the ROM. In such a case, I guess that all apps and settings will be lost. And then, it is when I gess I need to restore from a previous backup or otherwise I would need to restore everything manually, app by app.
Even if you don't wipe out you apps and data, it maybe be better if you do a backup in case something goes wrong... Bad things happens when we least expect
OK, but my original question remains:
Once upgraded to 1.4 (and making a wipe) can I restore also system apps by using Titanium Backup, or I can mess something doing this? It's better to restore only user apps?
What system apps that you want to back up with Titanium? I recommend you to check the change log from each of Dexter version to see if any of your system apps is being changed in the new update or not. If it's changed in the new update then don't back up it, otherwise it's safe to do so.
OK, thanks. That's what I did.
Since after installing the ROM, all applications there were the ones coming with the ROM, I didn't restore any existing app, assuming it is already the last and correct version. I was therefore restoring only those missing, and it worked fine. The only problem, I guess, is that by doing this way I didn't restore the app data for those apps coming with the ROM. Not a major problem.
After upgrading to CM10.2 nightlies, I noticed that neither of my purchased back-up apps function as intended anymore.
ROM Toolbox Pro fails to backup phone data (such as SMS, accounts, dialer info... etc.), and Titanium Backup gives me an "insufficient free storage space" error any time I try to back up my apps. Now, I've already tried pretty much everything with Titanium Backup outside of installing SuperSU. I've changed the backup directory to every combination of emulated/legacy and sdcard0/legacy... etc. that people have suggested to no avail. The only thing I can think of is that it doesn't play well with Koush's SuperUser app, but I don't want to bother removing it for SuperSU because it's integrated into the ROM nicely.
So is there any way to get Titanium Backup working properly with 4.3 ROMs? I'd like to use it ideally because the update.zip function really makes it the best backup option out there when it's working right.
Otherwise, are there any other backup apps that can backup apps/data/accounts/SMS with 4.3 ROMs without problems?
Did you enable USB debugging and Install from known sources?

Hey guys,
I'm trying to restore my previous Titanium Backup configuration on my Note 8, on which I just clean-installed the latest DevBase ROM. Normally, I just backup the following folder in order to save Titanium Backup's configuration for later restore, then after the ROM is installed, I restore the folder, install Titanium Backup and everything is restored:
sdcard\data\com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup\settings\
However, for some reason, the latest version doesn't seem to be restoring from the backup. Any suggestions on what to do to fix it? Really need this my configurations to quickly restore my Note 8 back to normal. Thanks in advance.
Haha can't believe I'm not the only one. Was already buzzing authors but for now no reply. Up until now that always worked. But now since yesterdays flash it doesn't any more. I've been trying to make it work since then without any success. Is your ROM PIE based?
What's even worse for me, i also tried cleaning everything and fresh install TiBu without any settings. I've made a new label, attached an app or two to that label. Then I selected in preferences I want to sync settings, TiBu created /sdcard/data/com.kermidas.TitaniumBackup with corresponding files. After I uninstall and reinstall TiBu first nice surprise is that it force closes. It will not work until I delete /data/data/com.kermidas.TitaniumBackup, after that program starts but it never restores it's settings from /sdcard/data/com.kermidas.TitaniumBackup
I've tried few PIE roms and never managed to find a working sollution. Thinking of going back to Oreo just to test this out then to scream at TiBu makers if it suddenly decided to crap on us. Oh I've also tried old tibu versions. even cracked ones, since I do posses original bought key for TiBu.

ROM is Oreo based at the moment.

Yeah, experienced EXACTLY the same issues. I figured out a solution to the problem though; on first install of Titanium Backup, DO NOT OPEN IT YET, instead, MANUALLY grant it its app permissions via Settings > Apps > Titanium Backup, place your settings folder in the com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup folder like normal, then launch Titanium Backup. Here's a detailed step by step process:
1. Ensure you still have a proper backup of the Titanium Backup settings folder, then uninstall Titanium Backup AND Titanium Backup Pro Key (if you also purchased it)
2. Install a root file system app (like Total Commander) from the Play Store, launch it, and navigate to and delete the following folders:
/sdcard/data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup
+
/data/data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup
AND (if you also purchased it)
/data/data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackupProThis will ensure you start off like it's your first time installing the app, and will avoid any crashes due to whatever conflicts.
3. Restore your backed-up Titanium Backup settings folder to the following directory:
/sdcard/data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup
4. Re-install Titanium Backup (and Titanium Backup Pro key, if you purchased it). DO NOT OPEN IT YET!! Otherwise, you'll have to repeat steps 1. to 3. above
5. Navigate to Settings > Apps > Titanium Backup and manually enable its app Permissions (at least Storage, but I'd recommend enabling ALL of them like I did)
6. Vuala, now you can launch Titanium Backup, grant it SU permission, and it'll recognize the backup like it should
Hope that helps

Everyone give this man a beer/coffee/blunt whatever triggers him Even virgin blood if that's his sweet tooth Thank you so many you ended this 2 day misery troll hunt of restoring TiBu settings.
Hi,
I used BackupAllApps module to be able to backup some app data from my rooted S5 (after installing Xposed).
I see after installing it that the data is created (before .ab was almost empty, now contains some data)
but then when I try to restore it on my new S10e (that is unrooted) I see that the restore works well (no error on screen) but then the app start like if I had not restored any data.
Do you know if to restore the app data on a new phone then you need also there the Xposed framework with same module, otherwise it will skip restoring app data if the allowBackup flag is not set for that app ?
I have the suspect that if the app does not allow the backup, then this will not allow also the restore of user data... is this right ?
Would be possible that with Android 11, this may work ? (I heard that Android 11 will disregard the allowBackup value for local backups/restore ut not sure if it will do also for old app and not only newer related to latest android version)
