Titanium Backup can't restore some apps - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My device: Galaxy S7 (SM-G930F), Custom firmware (Lightrom Pie), Custom Kernel (Thunderstorms 2.3) and Magisk Root
- USB debugging is enabled
*All backups of apps in this example where located on internal storage, existed in TB recovery menu & could be selected for restoring.*
Problem:
Why is that, Titanium Backup, is able to restore apps like for example Firefox, Amazon, eBay, Naptime, Franco KM, 17Track, Root Browser, Wish
but unable to do so (it gets stuck in the process) with some other apps, like for example:
AliExpress, Bird, Lime, Voi, Ringtone Maker, Canvas Student, Tank Stars

IDK that these apps have apks or not
But just for trying backup them with SAI
I think this would help you
And you can also check this app

You mean there is no way to restore a split-apk-app (What is split-apk, why is it implemented)? Or do you mean that it is possible, but only with SAI?

Just Install Tank Stars in new phone by Google Paly Store then restore only data by Titanium. That's all.

Does anyone know for sure if TB *ONLY* has problems restoring split apk's, but has no problem backing them up?
Meaning, if I use TB to backup one of my app's and then export that TB backup (as "separate files"), part of that export will be a "....apk.gz" file which is the APK G-Zipped. And you can un-gzip that file to get the APK.
Can you then install that APK with SAI (Split APK Installer) and it will install OK?
Or, is the problem that TB can not "BACKUP" the apk properly (and thats why any restore of it will crash)?

[Q] [Help] Titanium backup

Hey guys i'm running a custom rom and want to update it.
But it has included a automatic clear data.
So I want to back-up all my apps+data , i also want to keep my contacts etc
I have now tb pro. But i don't know which one i need to choose i also don't know how to restore it after i installed the new rom.
After installing new rom tb pro is also gone right?
Can you guys please help me ?
Use batch backup to backup all user apps + system data. Also you'll need the tb apk for re installing after flashing

Indeed, just click on 'Back up' to back up your apps and their data, but only on your own user apps, never system apps. After flashing, install TB from the Play Store and click 'Restore'.

There is no need to backup your contacts, they are automatically backed up by your google account. As soon as you sign in on your new rom it will sync your contacts for you.
If you want to backup your apps you should just use the batch icon in top right and then choose the section for backup of user apps and it will backup your apps and appdata.
On your new simply re-install TB and then use restore option. If it doesnt find your backup location/show backups in batch you will need to go to preferences and choose backup folder location again.
To do all this silently (not click install on each app) you will need to be rooted and have pro version.
PS. This is not a galaxy s2 topic. These types of topics belong in the general/android section as its not device specific.

& optional , cause i don´t know atm if needed..[Kontakte-Speicher 4.1.2-eng.root...]
cwm-backup to be save :angel:
yes..at the new rom you will have to install tb first in order to use it.
dowload the apk from authors website to your external sdcard
.u could do.
dowload titanium-backup-apk to your phone..
sync your contacts with google..batch-backup all inc sys apps+data..
make a cwm-backup..copy cwm & titanium backup folders to a safe place..
do your rom-update
do the appropriate settings and install tb..restore what you need and have fun :victory:
Or if you've bought titanium backup you could restore it from store after installation

[Q] - Recommendation for a Backup & Restore App

Having always rooted my phones I never had an issue backing up apps and data via Titanium backup but am now looking for a solution to back up apps and their data on my non-rooted Z2.
Having just flashed the latest Z2 firmware via Flashtool which wipes the phone, I've restored backups I had made with Sonys Back Up and Restore app only to find it didn't backup all it said it did, so had a number of apps and data missing.
Can anyone recommend a solution to this

I was in the same boat as yourself, Ive found a good one is HELIUM, plus helium will state what apps don't have a backup option coded into them so unlike sonys own app u wont be annoyed when some apps do/don't backup Also Helium allows cloud backups as well as internal and external sd card backups
Im currently using helium for apps and Mybackup pro for my text message backups as I found heliums message backups were weirdly in the opposite date order to normal use( instead of latest being at bottom of list it was at top)
Thanks mate, will give Helium a try

Just confiming, does Hellium doesnt back up the app data like TB?
I know ive read somewhere there is an app by chainfire for app and data backup for non rooted but at first glance it seem a bit long winded so never bothered with it.
I used easy backup which restored my apps, sms, mms, call log etc all no probs but yeah problem was no data backed up so had to set them all up like email, settings etc all over again.
I understand Unlocking and Rooting an Xperia is a tough task. But the stock ROM is good enough.
A good article here. It helped me and it may help you too buddy.

well your not gonna get the same level of backup due to lack of root, but for me it saved things like game progression(i.e angry birds) but didn't save things like custom widget sets in HD widgets app. But not the end of the world.
Ive started looking at my backups a bit more in detail and asking do I really need a backup of some apps, as some are just install-login to app and use no custom data to speak of to really backup. Or other apps like XDA app and game progression which have custom settings and progression Id like to save.

bro, Last time I used Helium is when it was called Carbon, I tried it with Xperia S and it didn't worked at all, after that I saw this in it's description in Play Store
Note: Some Sony devices have issues with Helium. This includes the Xperia S and Xperia Z. Sony has *disabled* backup on these devices completely.

I lost hope after that, so does it work now on Z2 ?
I'm still not in a hurry to have Z2 as there's still no way to root without unlocking the bootloader, and I will not unlock the bootloader without backing up the TA partition first ( which requires root )... so I've been looking for a way to copy some of my app's data from my old phone to Z2, I used to use Titanium Backup always but you know, no root = no TB...
so can you confirm please that you used Helium to backup AND restore app's data to the Z2 ? or you're just guessing from a non-xperia experience ?

I used helium to backup my apps on my s3 then install them on my z2, ive also backedup up my current apps on my z2 since, but like ive already said helium cant backup certain apps as the app developer hasn't allowed backup function. Helium did the job for me for my game progression and a few apps where I wanted current setup saved.

[XPOSED][MOD] Backup All Apps

First, thanks! I will test right now.
Awesome:good:
OK guys .. where is the feedback " those who already tested it " ..
Such app is always welcomed
Thank you Dev
Will test on 5.1 and report back if it works
Edit: doesn't work
could you give an example of unbackupable app?
E.g. SuperSU, AquaMail. Not possible to backup them via Helium without this module.
It would be a great mod if it would work 100% but there are still some apps on my phone I can't back up with Helium such as Facebook, Messenger and ebay. For some apps it works. Using a Xperia Z running stock 4.4.4 KitKat.

Yes, some bug(?) on Helium side. Flag for backing up is enabled for all apps.

I found out how to activate backup for the rest apps in Helium. You habe to start the apps shown under deactivated backup once. After that you can back them up with Helium.
Edit: I should have tested it first. The apps area listed under able to back up but the process does take too long. So it does not work.
Edit 2: The result of another test is that I can not back up those apps on my external sd card but on my internal memory.

It does not create any shortcut. This mod disables the hook in apps that deactivates the possibility to back these apps up with Helium or adb. There is nothing to set up.
What are the advantages of this over titanium backup? I've never come across an app I can't backup
Great! It's working... :good:
It's my suggestion: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/idea-hook-androidallowbackup-t3063979

Thanks. OP really needs to put a full description in the main post.
backups?
Have u ever heard of titanium backup?
Titanium backup is not backing up some apps fully called Modern combat 4 whose size is 1.97 Gb (backups only 24 Mb) and the other app called Nine whose size is 338 Mb (Backups only 91 Mb) even after setting value of 2048 MB (2Gb) in 'Select ex external data by max size in MB'
Here's what the dev says in help section:
" v. Extended Backups
Some applications (especially games) require more than just the APK and settings data. In most cases, these are assets of the particular application. In our terms, we call these “external app data”. With Titanium Backup, you can create backups containing these if you have enough storage on your device. To do this, you just need to go to Titanium Backup’s preferences and look for “Backup app external data” option. If you decide to set a limit to the external data, the subsequent option in the preferences namely “Select external data by max size” will allow you to set the respective limits.
Note that Titanium Backup only includes external data that is stored in /sdcard/Android/data/ directory. Some files like the OBB files are big and are downloaded straight from Google, thus never contain user generated content. These files are NOT included and are NOT considered as app external data by Titanium Backup"
Any better backup app? Please let me know.

The Best Way To Backup & Restore Data

Hey
Im using Custom Roms now for over a year, but i always have one problem with restoring data.
I mostly use the Google Feature, that restores all your apps. But all the time i have to login in every app again and again. I mostly als make a Titanium Backup, but when i restore these over the preinstalled apps some apps crash or on Lineage OS the whole System was unusable. I also make a TWRP backup, restoring is not always possible when you switch to another Rom.
I also dont own Titanium Backup Pro, so autoinstalling dont work.
How do you restore apps + data ?
What guide did i miss ?
Thanks in advance
move up.
I 'm also interested which app for backup is recommend.
I know oandbackup and TitaniumBackup.
Till know I only tried oandbackup but there are several problems. Backup to SD-Card doesn't work. Also to internal storage the backup was complete but only a few MB big but should have a lot more.

After letting Google install all the apps just restore data from titanium, NOT app+data. Also, if you do this often just buy titanium. You spend so much money on the phone and titanium also works on all your future phones. It really saves you a lot of time and is well worth the money.
Titanium is the answer , it is feature packed as hell.
Also if you want to use a different android version backup to another version (Like from 9 to 10), you can always just restore the Data, it works for me always.
You can let google download all your previous apps in android 10 and then restore only data from Titanium, you can obviously batch select the apps to restore.

About the best way to Backup & Restore Data on Xiaomi phone, if there is a computer, my suggestion is Coolmuster Android Assistant. It's easy and safe. You just need to connect your Xiaomi phone to computer via usb cable, enable usb debugging on it. A deep scan later, you can take backup of your Xiaomi phone with 1-click. After that, you can use it restore data from backup directly.
