I did a full System and App backup with Titanium and that went fine.
I deleted a couple of Apps from the X10 and then tried to retore them with TB, I couldn't. In the list of TB Apps the ones I want to restore show as "not installed" and when I click on one of them the only option is "delete". If I click on an App that is still on the X10 them I have an option to "restore".
I think it would be better to be able to restore the apps that I've deleted and not so much the ones that are still on the X10, no?
Install Unknown and Debugging are set properally.
Am I missing something here?
Thanks
Nope same issue here.. its usually I think the ones you download that are available for restoring rather than the stock apps..

Hi folks
What would be the easiest and most thorough way of backing-up/syncing everything on my Xperia X10? I have read some advice on the SE website but I am unsure whether what they suggest includes absolutely everything on my phone, i.e. downloads from the Andriod Market, contacts, music, pictures, settings, etc.
I previously had a Nokia 5800 which had an in-built backup programme which made a copy of everything onto the memory card.
Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated.
Many thanks
Scott
Latest firmware has a backup tool.
I didn't test it
I personally use Titanium but you need root for it.

Thanks tux Style. What firmware version has this backup tool?
My phone has firmware version 1.6 and build number R1FA016
Yea I like the back up Sony provides in the update.

The SE Backup Tool (and My Backup Pro too) doesn't include Shortcuts on the Homescreen (I'm using Zeam Launcher).
Does Titanium include absolutely everything?

I think R2BA020.
In 023 is for sure.
I have used My Backup PRO for 2 months till today and today I have tried Titanium Backup beacause I dont want to have both apps on my phone and let me tell you, this app restores your phone to the EXACT state as it were when you made backup. I mean, wallpaper, widgets, shortcuts, data, Market links, EVERYTHING, literally EVERYTHING ! I havent tried My Backup PRO with root features, without them it worked great 1 month ago when I didnt have root but I have decided to dump one of these apps since I hate to have 2 apps that do the same thing and Titanium was first choice because it has ability to uninstall stock apps after root AND it restores all apps with one click, no manual confirmation for installation. Those are 2 major and BIG advantages of Titanium Backup over MyBackup PRO.
Hope it helps

Fantastic! I will give Titanium Backup a go but it certainly sounds promising. My device is not rooted but if it worked for you then I am sure the same will be for me.
Thanks again
Scott
Hm, you cant use Titanium if you are not rooted :-\ Also, non rooted phones cannot backup Market links and data in apps. For non rooted phones MyBackup PRO is the only solution and the best one, that for sure.

Yea you are correct...I am not rooted and it therefore did not work.
I will go check out MyBackup PRO and see how I get on.
Thanks again for all your assistance.
Kind regards

I have accidentally bricked my phone do to some tests on modding
So before that I use SE backup and restore and Titanium to back up apps and data.
after re-rooting, first I use SE restore and restored basics.
and Titanium first to restore all my apk files and then selective applications of data.
Im have easily got my previous state around 95% of it
I would recommend SE backup and restore and Titanium combination strongly to any one.
What does TB backup ? Because MyBackup PRO backups SMS, contacts, call logs, apps, market links, settings, only thing that it DOES NOT backup are widgets and wallpaper. I read on other forum that Titanium does not backup SMS and contacts, WTF ?

sms, contacts, call log stuff will cover by SE backup and restore.
for me, all my contacts are sync with Google mail. so i just need to sign-in, automatically all will sync with out backup.
That means that Titanium does not cover that !?!? MyBackup PRO covers all of that, I cannot believe that TB does not do that.

You got to be kidding . Titanium will backup *everything*. No app without root access (such as MBP) will do the same.
SMS is called "[SMS/MMS/APN] Dialer Storage 1.6"
Contacts data is called "[Contacts/Calls] Contacts Storage 1.6"
Look at the Legend - "green" is "system service with useful data" and filter by "system" in the Backup/Restore list.
I also was really suprised when I saw this:
http://androidforums.com/android-applications/128633-mybackup-pro-need-help.html
And I have abandoned MyBackup PRO because I dont want to have 2 apps that do the same thing and TB was better because it could uninstall apps after root. But my schedule backup in TB does not work !?!? It is ON and on ignore list in Task Manager but no backup was made
EDIT: MBP also has root acces.
Well, is something strange.
The schedule is working but it seems is missing some tasks.
At least on my phone.
Nope, mine says with red letters next backup and writes date and hour but when that passes it only says next time when it is scheduled but also says "No backups yet". Really have no clue why is that so...
Is the default Backup and Restore program any good?
Hello, I have a question, I come to have a milestone, and can be done
an entire system backup using nandroid backup, there is something similar in
the xperia? like I can do if you accidentally brick the phone?
P.S: sorry for my bad inglish, google translate sucks xD
I want to know if titanium backup is of any useful use for our fit and is it safe.
and is it possible to backup ur rom wid it.
thnx
you can't backup a rom using titanium backup. use cwm for that.
"Titanium Backup" is the most important app for a rooted user,who is a ROM maniac (like me)...It is used to backup apps+data and many many extra features!...But "NOT USED TO BACKUP A ROM"....if u want to backup a ROM then boot into CWM Recovery and go in "backup and restore" and then backup!...ur Done!:beer:
galaxy fit + CM7.2 Rc5.6(2.3.7) + 801Mhz
thnx guys
but ive hard not to restore system settings as it causes many problems
is it true?
yes its safe to restore apps and data of apps which are downloaded from market (or are sideloaded)...
however, restoring data of system apps may give you fc's...
like for eg, I tried to restore my wifi settings from creeds to cm7 rc5.3...but whenever I tried to connect to a saved wifi spot, I used to get force closes...had to wipe data again...
also, the best feature of titanium is batch backup and restore, and schedules...
batch is in menu>batch...you can use it for one click backup and restore...
i prefer mybackup pro as it has a better and understandable UI and works well
can mybackup do backup of app data as well??
yeah it can backup app data and apk for system and non system apps
it can also freeze or unfreeze, break or link to market for the apps

Yup it should work...
Restore the data only, no need of restoring apps also (since it is the same rom)...

While batch backup in titanium backup app,it backups all the app+data very nicely. We just have to start the batch backup and keep our phone aside till the backup completes. But while restoring apps via batch restore,it constantly asks for permission whether to install or cancel for every app. So does mybackup pro batch-restores apps without asking such permission?
Even titanium PRO doesn't ask...
Free version doesn't allow one-click batch restore...
Typed using a small touchscreen
my backup pro dosent ask
ive tried only restoring the app data till now and not the app on my backup pro
I removed all the Facebook crap from my phone when I first got it, but now I'm putting it up on eBay and I'd like to put it back on for the sale.
I backed it up then uninstalled it using Titanium Backup, so I just went into TB and tried to restore Facebook for HTC Sense but it isn't working. It just says it's restoring and sits there forever, nothing actually happens. Installing from unknown sources is turned on in my settings and I've tried rebooting.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

I had the same problem, in fact titanium was unable to restore any of the system apps. I had a nandroid backup and i used nandroid browser (available on market) and extracted the right apk's and put them in their respective folder and rebooted. Eureka! Everything was just like before. It Works! Try it out if you can.
Yeah TB seems to hate all my system apps
I think I'll just load a ROM onto it or something, might sell for a little more like that anyway
Have you tried the "restore missing apps + data" option?
And I think because it was a system app and you uninstalled it, the only fix I could think of is put the apk in the /system/app folder & change permissions (if you have a backup of the actual apk files taken from the /system/app folder). Or I would just go ahead with a clean flash of the stock rom. Atleast it would technically be factory set and ready to sell.

In the end I just reinstalled the stock ROM
I recently flashed a new rom (the last time I did this was almost 2 years ago so I forgot what to do). Titanium backup has been doing weekly updates for a long time. So when I started up the phone titanium backup is gone, I read that I must redownload from the play store, but when I run it, it says I failed to acquire root privileges. It tells me to get busy box, so I download that too, but that won't install properly.
What should I do now? Have I lost root? The bootloader is available...that means it's still rooted right? The internal sd card still shows my folder of titanium backup and all the other root folders I used to have on my phone, I just can't get titanium backup to run so i can't restore.
Thanks!

If you flash a new rom root is lost.
You have to root again.
S.R.
A few of the JB ROMS were causing issues with root. The fix was to re-flash the SU (superuser) apk and that would fix things right up. You should be able to find it doing a search.
Good luck and hope this helps!

Lets start with a few basic questions... dont mean to offend you, just wanna make sure its not something you may have overlooked.
What rom did you flash?
What, if anything, did you wioe in recovery?
Did you get a superuser or supersu prompt when titanium started?

Not necessarily so. Most custom roms are pre-rooted by the dev. Ive flashed countless roms and until recently w/ jb not had any issues w/ root access.

seems you've just lost root privileges,
just flash supeuser again and you will be fine...

it pretty much looks like this in TitBack, give or take a few letters: "[SMS/MMS/APN] Phone/Messaging...". when you tap on it, the pop-up recognizes it as "Phone/Messaging Storage". this is where your text messages are.
some 3rd-party MMS apps like GoSMS Pro can back up your messages too, and I believe there's also an app or two solely for backing up your messages to your sdcard/internal storage.
Titanium Batch restore fail
Hi all
Having a few problems, I'm new to flashing roms and the use of Titanium Backup and I've just flashed my second ROM. I've gone from CM9 to CM10. Before doing so I created a backup of apps + data.
I flashed the ROM fine, and ran the batch restore function in Titanium. I have all the icons on my homescreen from the previously installed apps but after clicking on them my phone tells me that app isn't installed. I then notice that my notification from Titanium's batch restore shows the apps I had downloaded from the play store failed to restore (the notification said that the elements failed after batch restore was complete).
I noticed that these apps have a line through them when the list of apps I want to restore appears.
Titanium then advised me that the apps did not restore as the Android ID had changed, So I then reverted to the previous android ID thinking this to be the solution. However, after running the restore function again, the same amount of elements failed to restore.
Due to my lack of knowledge in Titanium and my need for these apps, I turned to the play store and decided to manually redownload all the apps again. This does not work either! The error message I get is the apps cannot be downloaded due to an error (491). I guess this is to do with the android ID changing?
Please help, how can I get these apps to restore? and also how can I be able to download apps from the play store again? :crying:
EDIT: So I was able to reinstall the apps from the play store by wiping the dalvik + cache.
This still leaves me baffled as to why Titanium wasn't able to do this

Did you try to restore system apps? I always use tb w/ the pro key to restore user apps + data, and have been getting the changed android id lately, but whether I keep the new id or revert to the old one, my restore works. Depending on what ROM I'm going to or from, sometimes I have to change my home screen shortcuts for system apps.

I didn't select restore system apps, instead I selected restore all apps with data, failing that I tried restore missing apps + all system data.
What option should I normally be selecting to do a straight restore after flashing a ROM? Does the fact that there is a line through the apps that I'm trying to restore mean anything?
I always select "restore missing apps + data" it's the 1st option under restore in the batch menu. The apps with a line through them are the ones that tb recognizes as being backed up but not installed.
