I have a problem with titanium back up when I go to the backup and restore tab none of my apps populate in the list. I've used this app before on another hero and it worked fine. I just reinstalled busy box and can't figure out how to make a backup of my apps.
So you already tried clicking the "Problems?" button and having it redownload the busybox executables? I had this same problem, and doing that fixed the problem.
Otherwise, the developer of the app is *really* responsive. I've emailed him and he's gotten back to me within hours, so you might want to give him a shout and see if he has any ideas.
thanks...that helped me out

Has anyone tried using SKTools to make a full system backup?? The size of the full backup should be somewhere around 30Mb+.
Anyway it takes quite a while to make a full backup of your whole system, and the weird thing is when i try to restore the full backup, it took significantly LESS time, it was really fast, so i was wondering if it actually restores everything because it was fast and that seems abnormal to me......the phone did restart twice but still, it was a quick restoration, so i'm not sure if it's normal.....
I've never tried this before so i don't know if my SKTools is having problems or not.....but a 30mb restoration shouldn't take less than 3 minutes to restore, it should take longer.
Plus, some of the programs aren't registered, if it's a full system backup it should restore their registrations right??
And lastly, the full backup is in the format of .asb.exe, and the file name is usually the date of when you made the backup, so e.g. 27012010.asb.exe
Well, when i click the file, it doesn't run, it has the same icon as the SKTools Backup option, so it should start with SKTools, afterall that's the app that made the backup, but it doesn't run. I had to launch SKTools and choose SKTools Backup, and then restore the backup. Is this suppose to happen??
Well, you should expect the restore to be a lot faster than the backup because all of the files are being written to main memory (hint: do a benchmark and compare main memory vs. storage card memory write speeds-it should be 10X or more faster).
Sometimes it's a little buggy; I did a few restores recently, and clicking on the .exe didn't open up sk tools-not sure why. Also, whenever I go to the backup tool and check boxes for things I want restored, and then select 'restore marked', it doesn't work. It will just sort flash into the wait-screen for a few seconds, then nothing gets restored. The only way the restores work for me is if I do a long press on the individual backup files in the backup tool and then select 'restore' individually.
It should be obvious if the restore worked or not, though. I mean, did it, lol? Was everything restored? Three minutes or so is plenty of time to restore your stuff, I would think. If it ran through the two soft resets, then I would say you are good to go. Only do the restores after a hard reset, and you can also skip customization to speed things up (do a soft reset immediately after the screen-alignment step, when the '3 seconds to customization' pop-up appears). All of the customization stuff gets stored in the backup file, so there's no point in going through it twice.

ya that's what i do as well and i'm having the same problem as you do. At least now i'm sure it's not just my SKtools having this problem....
and yup i use SKtools to restore everything after a hard reset, most of the stuff seems to be restored fine, like my contacts and favourite people contacts are all setup, all the tabs i rearranged on touchflo3d are correct, mostly everything is but some registration for certain apps aren't. Ah well i guess i'll just take it that it restored properly, i can do the registration myself.....
thanks for ur reply btw, appreciate it
Okay, I saw a few of the related thresds and I can't seem to get this fixed. Root Explorer does not show in my Market so I can't get that.
I can't do anything on my GTablet, it just force closes with that error right back to the home screen and then force closes again.
If I can, I'd love to not have to wipe data (or reflash either). I can't use Titantium Backup since it force closes at the home screen.
Any suggstions?

Yeah, I had the same problem on one of my two G-tablets.
I ended up being able to use Titanium Backup and wipe my contacts data tho.
I got it fixed. Clockwork Mod Recovery and its 'backups' feature is awesome.
I did have to reconfigure all my apps, though, because my backup was after I'd downloaded them but not ran them for the first time. That took awhile, but as soon as I finished I made a backup of that so I won't have to set them up again.
so you ran titanium backup and just wipe the data for the contacts app?
Thanks. I figured out how to wipe with titanium (did email contacts and settings as those gave a blank screen.. Good as new (and enhanced with the TNT enhancement pack)
My phone is slow as hell and I need to hard reset. I remember before, all my apps auto-downloaded afterwards. The settings were gone, but that's fine. I have tried several times (restoring from nandroid backup) and each time, nothing seems to happen despite leaving the phone on overnight. I have searched other threads and found the following:
I need to have "back up my data" and "automatic restore" checked in Settings -> Privacy. Did that before hard reset.
Found this answer: "if you go to the Play app and tap the 3 icons top right there is a setting so auto update the apps." Auto update doesn't appear to work, all it does is update apps you already have installed. After hard reset I only have about 15 basic apps, none of my old ones.
Found this answer: "All your phone apps are collected together in your market library. Just go there ad push the apps once again to your phone (just half a minute job actually). Its a bit tricky because the install button for push is hidden." So where is the hidden button?
I don't want to use a third-party app like Titanium Backup. I'd prefer a clean re-install from Google, not apk. I think some of my apk files and settings were the problem in the first place.
I could just reinstall all of them manually, but I have a lot and Google Play mixes up the apps I had installed with all of the apps I uninstalled years ago. I can't tell the difference!
Hello,
so far I did not find a similar problem anywhere.
I did a backup of all my apps, played a little bit with some custom ROMs and now I am back on my initial ROM (dokdo).
My problem is: I can only restore very few apps.
If I choose the batch mode several apps are simply skipped without any error message. During the restoration within the "restoration is running" window I see the name of the skipped app for a very short time and the immediately the name of the next app.
When I go to the menu where I can manually restore single apps I noticed that only apps with a smiley at the end can be restored and the ones with a tick not. Unfortuantely again no reason is shown...
By the way: I updated the "super su" app.
Does anyone have an idea what goes wrong?
Cheers
oetzi
Anyone an idea?
Did you Google the meaning of those smileys?
I am assuming it has something to do with them, since if an app wasnt correctly backuped, you would be simply stuck while restoring that app...
Good hint, I only googled for "apps cannot restored".
Under menu -> legend you can see what the symbols mean and the ticks stay for "only data available" which confuses me even more since that means that the backup did not really work...
Hi.
In my Dev settings, if i turn on the USB Debugging, i notice that it switches off immediately as soon as I move to another app or I go back to launcher.
This is quite strange and a lot annoying, because I cannot use properly Titanium backup.
If I back up apps, then when I try to restore them, Titanium goes in a continuous loop and I am forced to stop it or it will stay forever in that situation.
I read in some forums this is the most probable cause, but i would like to know if someone is experiencing the same....
At the same time, a warning when i open the app tells that the "Mount namespace separation" in SuperSU could affect Titanium too...
Ah, and the uninstalling feature (in titanium) is not working properly too: apps are not uninstalled properly and I have to do it with the system app.
Any ideas?
Thank you.
nobody has this issue or something similar?
I have exactly the same problem. Is there a solution for this?
It works for my friend though.
