Today I unlocked my Atrix's bootloader, and, knowing that /data would be wiped, I backed up all of my apps and data with titanium backup. The only problem is that now titanium backup doesn't detect the apps that I had backed up, except the system apps. So basically the market apps don't appear. I'm working on trying to fix this now, but if anyone can help that would be great.
Thanks
UPDATE: I fixed it by reinstalling my pro key. Turns out the phone thought I had the free version, and, after reading the website, turns out the free version doesn't detect user apps.
Hmm maybe someone could help me out here.
I backupped all my app with titanium, unlocked the phone andr tried to restore my apps but after restoring a few one my phone reboots.
If I restore them manuel everything works fine but I don't want to restore them manually.
Can someone help me out?
I've flashed the task650 and phantom rom. Then installed titanium back up from the market and restored all of my apps. It then said that the android launch error has stopped or something.
What have I done wrong and how can I fix it?
Did you also let TiBu restore all your settings as well? or JUST the apps? Did you restore an app that was included in the ROM?
When switched ROM's you should only restore apps that are not on the device already. You also should be careful with all settings that you restore as well.
For me, I restore the missing apps, that I still want, with data along with accounts, BT pairings, and WiFi settings. That's it.

Oh, and to fix it, I would just hard reset your device, verify that all is running as it should, and then begin installing your apps again.
This is what I think the sequence of what I have done is.
-Obviously rooted my tablet.
-Backed it up with Rom manager and copy and pasted the back up to my PC as well as the back ups of the apps and settings from titanium.
-Downloaded and transferred the task650 and phantom rom to my tablet.
-Flashed it and deleting the cache and dalvik etc in the process.
-Followed the process of not selecting google during the factory reset and changed my wifi settings and synced google once the flash had finished.
-I then went to the market place and reinstalled titanium from their and restored the apps and data.
-It was at that point when I could not get back onto the android desktop (if thats what its called.)
Now when I click the power button I can unlock it and it brings up this box:
Sorry! The application Launcher (process.com.android.launcher) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. Force close or report.
If I hold the power button I see a recovery option with rom manager icon and a download option.
So to answer your question I did let TiBu restore setting as well because I am a total noob. I more than likely did restore an app that was in the rom.
I can't really see if all is running as it should because if I force close the error message it just goes blank and brings the error back up.
I haven't bricked it have I? I hope to god this is fixable.
You are not bricked. I would just follow the steps again on the Task650 and Phantom thread to re-flash the ROM, and just start over. Once you have re-flashed, then reinstall TiBu and then begin restoring only the missing apps with their corresponding data. DO NOT RESTORE any settings or any apps that are already in the ROM unless you know specifically that they are safe to restore (MOST ARE NOT).

Thanks for your help I'm back on ok after a hard reset. I think its back to the way it was before I restored apps and data off tibu.
Im already on the task and phantom rom after the reset so do I need to still reflash the rom?
I'm not really bothered about reinstalling apps, but is their any I should restore?
Would downloading an app from the market I had on the previous rom cause problems?
No, you do not need to re-flash if the hard rest took care of your problem.
The only apps to NOT restore are the ones that are already on the ROM, as that may cause a conflict. Apps that you have downloaded from the market in the past, and that are not currently in the ROM should be ok to restore with TiBu.
Again thanks you have been very helpful.

Correct. To be safe don't restore any system settings or system apps. these show green in titanium. This error if from restoring sudden data on launcher. Task snuff phantoms tom uses a different launcher from stock touchwiz.

Thanks.
I've just left it as it was to be safe, was not to bothered about my apps or settings anyway I'm happy to start over.
So to avoid anything going wrong in the future, do I not update my tablet?
It happened today morning, but i didn't change anything since last night, didn't install any apps or updates
At first i manage to enter in the Contacts app, but i couldn't save a new contact, i did a system reboot and after that all three apps were gone :O
now i'm using GO Contacts, but i would really like to get the stock apps back
Rooted (CF-Kernel) KI4 2.3.4
any thoughts guys?
also, in the GO Contacts app i'm unable to save a new contact

Hmm ... really strange.
Maybe a problem with your Google account.
But disappearing system apps ... ?!
If you have got a recent system backup, then recover it.
If not, I recommend to re-install a stock ROM (flashing with Odin).
Do a hard reset after flashing.
Root your phone (e.g. flashing CF-Root kernel).
This should bring back the missing system apps.
Good luck !
Whit a hard reset, you mean a factory reset, right?
And no, no backups
there is no way to reinstall those apps?

Hard reset: Dial *2767*3855# into your phone.
This will wipe internal SD card!
EDIT:
Please do a full system backup in future!
I backup my apps with Titanium Backup (free app from the Market) and make a system backup with CWM Manager app (which is included in my CF-Root kernel).
i'll be sure to do that next time, i wanted to do a Nandroid backup after rooting, but i kept delaying it... until it was too late
i guess i can backup my user apps now with Titanium, or should i just start from blank with a stock rom?
flashing the stock rom will also bring back the stock kernel?

Yes, the ROM contains kernel, modem and CSC.
You can restore all user apps you have saved with Titanium Backup.
Do not restore any system app.
Just to be safe.

a nice twist of things today, i have read some info regarding this issue on the webz and i decided to uninstall facebook and google+... and what do you know, my apps r back and working perfectly
but anyway, i'll proceed with the stock rom flash, just to be on the safe side
Just wondering if the dev's have to manually setup the phone after installing a new Rom that requires a full wipe/restore. It's not a big deal if you update your Rom every so often. But, I would imagine that it would be a pain if your factory resetting daily or multiple times daily.
I don't reset all that often. However, it seems like when I want a new Rom I first need to install a 3rd Rom first before the new Rom will take. Not sure if It's required but I will go through setup and let all of the data restore on the phone. Frequently, I'll need access to the market before I can go on to the next Rom.
After doing this a few times it just seems like there has to be an easier way.

You should just wipe, install the new rom, log into your google account to let your data recover and use the market to reinstall your apps. Not sure why you need to install a rom twice...
I have been using titanium backup for a while now though the developers will not offer support if you do. I only backup apps and their data. The only thing google does is add all my contacts back. I do not backup any system apps or system data and have not had any issues to date. My new Rom is literally back up and running less then 5 minutes after first boot. It takes longer to wipe and flash then it does to setup a Rom.

Dev just push new system apps to the phone with adb or whatever has been changed then reboot. At least I do but for your case when switching to a new Rom you shouldn't just be pushing system cus alot changes

So can I use a titanium backup to restore app data after flashing to a new rom? Would it restore my saved saved logins from the browser?

Not sure about the browser, but yes restoring app data with Titanium backup works great. Just don't restore system apps . Well, I am assuming if you deleted the new browser and restore your saved browser it would work just fine. Unless the browser is a different for the rom your using.
I could really use some help here guys. Normally when I clean flash a new rom, download TiBu, and open it for the first time, it asks me to restore my previous Android ID. I always do then restore all of my apps. No problem.
I just flashed CM 10.2 today (coming from Jelly Beans B6), downloaded TiBu, and open it, but it's not asking to restore my previous Android ID. Now I can't restore any of my apps via TiBu. When I go to TiBu options and try to manually restore my Android ID, it's not finding one. The only thing that's different with my flash today is that my sdcard died recently, but I'm not sure how that would impact this? I really need some help. Thanks in advance, guys!

You may need to go to preferences/backup folder location and manually select the location.

No luck. TiBu can find all of my backups, it just won't restore the apps because (I'm assuming) the Android ID is different. I can't figure out why it isn't asking to restore my old Android ID.

Have you tried titanium's data and opening it again? Are you logged into your Google account?

I used to get the same thing in tibu but haven't for awhile now. I think you're ok. Do you have Google back up your phone too. I think it's getting the id from there.

I did try restoring TiBu's data only, however, that didn't have any effect regarding the Android ID. TiBu still hangs when restoring (just stays at 0%).
I reflashed Jelly Beans B6 (did not restore a nandroid) since I was previously on that rom. TiBu still didn't ask to restore my Android ID, however, I was able to restore all of my apps without TiBu hanging (so at least I didn't lose everything). My understanding is that this seems like two issues 1. TiBu isn't asking to restore my Android ID anymore (on any rom) and 2. CM 10.2 isn't gelling with TiBu's restore without restoring the previous Android ID. They could be related though. Like I mentioned above, my sdcard died recently and I haven't replaced it yet. Maybe TiBu backs up my Android ID to the sdcard?
When I get a minute I'm going to see if I can't flash CM 10.2, manually restore my current Android ID that works with TiBu's restore (from Jelly Beans B6), and then see if restoring with TiBu will work then. In the meantime, I'm still interested if anyone has any other ideas or similar experiences.
Just for completeness, I'll update my findings in case anyone has this issue in the future and happens upon this thread.
Two things were contributing to my initial complaint...
1. TiBu DOES auto-sync its own setting to your sdcard, so after a wipe/flash it pulls the old Android ID from that save. As I mentioned in my first post, my sdcard died recently and had not yet been replaced which is why TiBu wasn't asking to restore my old Android ID. In TiBu under Preferences, there's an option to 'Auto-sync TB settings' which uses the sdcard. This is checked by default when you install TiBu and have an sdcard. When my sdcard died, this setting automatically unchecked itself. I found out you actually can re-check this setting without an sdcard and it will back up your Android ID somewhere, however you obviously have to re-check it manually.
2. Android 4.3 builds seem to have a common issue with restoring TiBu backups where the restore hangs at 0%. After I correct #1 above and restored my Android ID, TiBu was STILL hanging at 0% on restore. Looking around the web, it seems like there's a few different work-arounds. The one that worked for me was changing the backup folder location in TiBu to 'legacy' (TiBu > Backup folder location).
Two separate issues. Pretty confusing. Hopefully this can help someone down the road.
Try restoring in smaller batches instead of all at once. Like apps A thru F, reboot and select the next batch, etc.
