ive done a fair amount of reading and searching and i just want to get some straight answers with these questions as sometimes, opinion with these seem to vary.
1. i use bloat freezer. are there major differences between it and titanium backup?
2. is it necessary to unfreeze apps before a fw/kernel update?
3. is it necessary to unfreeze apps before backing up?
4. is a restored backup with titanium backup as good as a clean wipe and full reinstall of the apps?
hope someone helps me clear it up once and for all and TIA

1. From the point of view of freezing/unfreezing the apps, only real difference is the price
2. No, but if you change your firmware you will need to refreeze the apps you want to freeze.
3. Don't really know, but I would think no
4. Titanium backup, backs up more than just your apps, including system apps, data and setttings - so they are different
I have a question my self,
If you freeze apps using Titanium backup, is that mean that now Titanium back would run at the background and prevent those apps to start ?
If so, I better remove them right ?

as for no. 4
follow this thread, there is a mini discussion on titanium backup:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1198334&page=90
pulser_g2, my fav developer, clearly states:
"You should only titanium restore USER apps and data, not preinstalled ones."

im not sure about titanium backup, but for bloat freezer it isnt a running background service. but they should be working the same way.
personally, i choose freezing becasue, there is no perceptible performance hit between freezing and uninsall; and i can always infreeze if i need to use the program again

It seems that no one really knows the answer to this question, but thanks for letting me know about bloat freezer.
I got a bootloop on my NT after trying to eliminate the white on white menus and had to do a factory reset.
Titanium is restoring my apps but every time it comes to a data file it shows a yellow lock, says it's "armored" and requires a password to continue.
I've never used encryption and never put in a password before.
Any ideas?
Anyone? Please.
unroot and start all over?
I can't. I'm afraid if I do that I won't be able to re-install all my apps and data with Titanium, because of the problem mentioned.

well if you are trying to restore apps using TB, the backups are on your sdcard right? so even if you factory restore, the content on your sdcard won't be deleted.
I've never heard of "armored" apps in TB. Contact the developer.... or just restore the apps without the data.
I think you missed my point. I did do a factory restore and my Titanium backups were on my SD card, but the data was password protected (I never put in a password) so couldn't be restored.

Hello. I just had the same issue and found this forum on it. I had bought the pro version of Titanium Backup and forgot that I selected the option to encrypt the backup. I just had to remember my passphrase and then it unlocked it. I know it's a year later than the original post, but I didn't see any solutions, so hopefully this helps somebody in the same spot.
Hi,
So i'm planning to stick with the Apex Launcher and have reorganized how I want it to look and so forth. My question is, when I do a flash for a newer version of a custom Rom, say for example Omega series, what do I choose in Titanium so that it backups up my current Apex Launcher settings as well as all my games with their saved data, bookmarks, and any purcahsed apps? Thanks
Backup all apps + system data but..
Restore Missing apps + data. dont do restore all system apps if you move to another firmware/custom rom

I see. Also, before I update to a new version of any custom rom, I usual;y do a factory wipe reset in CWM, clear cache, and clear dalvik. By doing that, would it somehow affect the backup in titanium if I were to do one?

Nope, just save your backups in your External SD to be sure

Sorry to be a bug, where is that option to "backup all user apps + data to external sd? Or do I need to move it manually? if so where is it stored in the internal SD?
once you have backed up all, copy and paste the folder "titaniumbackup" from internal SD to Ext. SD or your PC

Move your existing backup manually first
Set it before you backup again. Preferences, backup folder location, detect, whole device.
You'll pretty much lose your home screens. You shouldn't need to wipe between versions of the same rom

You will not lose your home screen if you're using other launchers it will be backup-ed like any other app, been wiping and restoring thru TB and my Nova Launcher home screens are still intact from which i backup-ed.

Thanks for the info. That's true I dont need to wipe between versions of the same ROM. I guess I'm paranoid
I just have 11 apps that I have downloaded, is there a quicker way of doing it instead of selecting each one by one? Wouldnt choosing "Backup all user apps" mean EVERY app currently on my phone including the ones that I personally didn't download?

Well if any problems occur after flashing, then you need to do a full wipe that's way you need to back-up all apps

Why wouldn't you back-up all? in worst case scenario it would be very useful plus you have options in restoring to not restore all apps so I think that would be fine.
If your worried about the size of the back-ups don't worry it will not go even close to 500mb, as you said you have only 11 apps at the moment :good:

Ok thanks again!
Also, what happens if I do a user apps + data backup in titanium and decide to upgrade to another version for example, omega 6.0 to omega 7.0, will there be a conflict with the data portion of the restore because the developer might have changed something once I do a restore with "missing apps + data " in the 7.0 version?
hello guys,
i flashed my i9100 to ICS 4.0.4 UK then rooted it, i disabled some system apps thru system apps remover.
now when i try to re enable them in the default way (settings>applications>all) they are not even listed, and if i used the system app remover to re enable them again, once i exit from it automatically they disabled again.(system app remover is granted as superuser also busybox is on).
looking for help guys.
Did you uninstalled or disabled them? If disabled, I believe it's just like in Titanium Back Up. Install Titanium Back Up and see if the disabled system apps appear "frozen" if they do, click the defrost button! I just tried it and this works
When you are rooted and get to a situation where you are happy with your setup-make a nand backup.
Then use titanium and backup apps then uninstall the ones you dont like or need(being careful obviously).

I am new with this and I have one question.
Is it possible to back up wifi passwords, email accounts and all those stuff, before flashing a custom ROM so I can just restore them after flashing.

Yes. Root your phone and use a backup app like Titanium Backup. Then save the folder somewhere, flash the new custom rom, restore the folder and then everything else you want with the app.

Is there anything else I should backup other then "Backup all user app + system data"?

No, just copy the TitaniumBackup folder with all the backups somewhere that won't get lost.
Also, when you restore after installing another rom, DO NOT restore the system data. Only the user stuff. Or at least not all the system data. For example wifi points are ok, but don't restore any system apps.

Is it a problem for you to be a little more specific, please.
When I look at "Restore" section of Titanium, I don't see how can I restore only wifi points or email accounts.

Press the option button on the main page from TB.and scroll down to:
Backup data to XML....
Than you can choose to back up your WiFi,email and call log.

You can restore user app and data without any problem but if you want to restore system data then always use xml (TitaniumBackup will suggest you for that). If you will not use xml for system data then after restoring data your phone will crash and a lot of services will not work and terminate itself.
and finally you will have to reflash again.

I did xml backup for messages, wifi and call logs and I did "Backup user app+system data".
Is that what are you talking about?
