Hey guys,
I'm having a little issue with the donate version of Titanium Backup on my Sony XZ1C with LOS 15.1.
After purchasing it over the developer's homepage I got the license key (.txt-file) and put it as described on my SD-card. Then I installed Titanium Backup Free over the Play Store and started it.
Titanium Backup doesn't detect the license file at all, so I'm stuck with the free version. I reinstalled the app several times, moved the license file to different places and even reinstalled my whole ROM - no improvement.
Can somebody please help?
Thanks a lot!

Hello, I was wondering if it was possible to update an app that was not installed from the market through the market.
I've downloaded free apps from the market, unzipped them and swapped out some image files, signed and reinstalled, but these apps no longer show up in the play store--when I try, it says that the app was not signed correctly.
I've tried searching but the only thread I found was from 2010 and was essentially a thread about some person stealing a paid apk and trying to get it to update :|
Anyways thanks
Seems impossible
As the signature is different, so I think it is impossible.
Titanium Backup has an option to "Attach to market(forced)" might give that a try or fix permissions.
I had similar problems with games that I bought through the Android edition of the Humble Indie Bundle. Cannot update via Play Store.
New HTC One owner here. Unlocked it, got TWRP and superuser working no problem. I like to keep my devices neat and orderly so I typically like to integrate system app updates into the Rom to leave storage for additional apps. I tried this today with titanium backup and it appeared to succeed (said it did anyway) and apps that I had done so with forced closed as they usually do. Problem is I rebooted afterwards and was met with apps force closing and all of the apps I had just integrated had updates available in the play store. It appears all titanium did was drop the originally installed updates. Anyone have any experience with this on the One? I've done this millions of times with other devices and roms and never had an issue before.

I get a similar problem with One X+, rooted, with TWRP and SuperSU installed (but not Busybox):
I tried to integrate Facebook update and after TB says "succeded", the app disappeared!
I had to install the update again from the Google Play, than Facebook started working again,
without asking to log in (which probably means that the app was just hidden, not deleted ..)
any ideas?
thanks, STe
i have the same problem with my htc one .......after 3 days i can delete apps but i cant integrate apps
This has been annoying me for awhile now. I am running a Lollipop ROM on my OnePlus One, and I have not been able to install any apps by opening their APKs to install directly. It worked fine before (shortly after a fresh install), but now every time I try to open an APK file to install, I get "app not installed" as soon as I click the install button.
I can install and update apps through the Play store just fine. I have plenty of space free for new apps to be installed (more than 10 GB), and I have already allowed installing apps from unknown sources under settings.
I also just found out that Titanium Backup wouldn't restore any of my apps. My current install is still relatively fresh, with some apps restored through Titanium Backup (before it stopped working along with APK installing). I would like to know the cause of this, and I don't want to reinstall just so this will happen again.
Hello there. I have problem with titanium backup not being able to do a license check on the app. I have brought the pro key before. It worked well on my note 3 and Samsung s7edge.
I'm currently using mate 10 pro rooted with magisk and twrp recovery. If there anyone that can help it would be appreciated.

Did you buy it in the Playstore or an old school license txt?
If the latter, it needs to be placed in /sdcard/TitaniumBackup_license.txt. Make sure Titanium has sdcard access in permissions.

I bought it from the playstore. I have been looking guide online and have tried uninstall and installing both titanium backup and the key, fix my date and time (which already correct). Still cannot detect the license.

Apparently latest play store update breaks license verification for paid apps, so that might be why...

Look like my problem solved by asking the dev themselves. The problem lies in playstore. The update seem broke license verification as you said. Look like this only happen if you have to downloads a key.
No wonder I can't activate the license
Can I download an older version from Playstore?
I'm trying to move away from Google stuff. I've installed /e/OS on my phone and replaced Google-dependent apps. However, I can't install the PRO key for Titanium Backup because it needs to contact the play store to work. I understand there is some sort of license text file that, when placed in the appropriate folder, will unlock the app. However, the developer seems to have gone AWOL. He won't answer emails either through the Titanium Backup website, the app or the donate page.
In desperation, I've tried some alternative backup solutions
OAndBackup - doesn't use ROOT access so it can't backup information in the DATA partition.
OAndBackupX - won't load on my phone
No other backup app that I have found uses ROOT so they will not do the trick.
I need one of the following:
a way to download the license text file (that doesn't depend on Google Play).
a backup app that will do the same job as Titanium Backup.
Instructions on how to manually backup data for a particular app (I can find or download the APK if I need to)
Thanks for your help in advance.
TB Pro Key app neither creates a license-key file nor relies on such one: this apk patches an already installed TB Free apk.
Both the TB Pro Key app and the TB Free app depend on com.android.google.vending package. what is the Googe Play Store app.
Titanium Backup Free runs fine without Google Play. However, when I install the license key, Titanium Backup tries to verify the license - but it can't because it does so through com.android.google.vending, as you mentioned. Since I don't have Google Play installed, the PRO key can't do the verification, so your reply doesn't really help unless you mean to say that the license text file needs com.android.google.vending also. In that case, scratch the first option and say if you know of an app that can do what Titanium Backup does or say where the application data is so that I can back up things manually.
Slightly Off-Topic: Recently, I found a cool way to "freeze" a system app. If you have ROOT access, you can go into /system/app/ and change the name of the target package from *.apk to *.bak and reboot - that disables the app and it won't load on reboot. If you don't have ROOT but the bootloader is unlocked, you can go into [TWRP] recovery, mount the system partition and do it that way - I got rid of the stock calendaring and tasks app that way with no adverse issues. The only caveat is that you have a replacement app loaded BEFORE you "freeze" the app - especially if you are going to freeze apps like the messaging app or the launcher!

If you'ld decompile the TB Pro Key apk - as I did - then you can notice that a license text file - what you always mention - IS NOT USED at all.

Open Titanium Backup. If you are using the free version, you will see a button at the lower right side of the screen in green that says "PRO version: $5.99" (it may be nation-sensitive and may be using your currency rather than US dollars but I doubt it). Click on the button and it asks you "Can you buy apps on the Android Market?". If you hit "NO", it brings up the following information: " To turn Titanium Backup into the Donate version branded to your name, please donate the amount you want (from USD$5.99) by PayPal and you will get your key file by e-mail. .. you can visit the donation page or use the Copy e-mail address button below and then paste it where needed. .. Upgrading gives you high speed ... "
If you close that window and go to the Titanium Backup "Menu" you will see at the top-right hand side a collapsed menu called "HELP / LICENSING". If you expand that menu and choose "Manage license" you will see the following message if you are running the free version: "You're running the free version of Titanium Backup. .. *No PRO key was detected. .. *No license file was detected. .. Supported locations for the license file are: */storage/emulated/0/TitaniumBackup_License.txt [Not found]"
The Titanium Backup license file is what I'm trying to get from the Titanium Track folks. I got back an automated message yesterday from one of my attempts to contact them. It was not encouraging.

I bought the Donate Version without Google Play (running MicroG). Did just as they said in the free app. You just need to follow the process.
After donating i got an email with the text file. Put the text file in the right folder and it was recognized. I have Titatium Backup Pro running perfectly now. No problems at all.

Did you do that recently, like in the past 3 - 6 months? Because, if you did, I'll follow suit.
Perhaps they have some sort of automation set up...
