Titanium backup doesn't work right on our Captivate...If you want it back the only way I know of is to use the Odin3 stock ROM restore...Look at the stickies in the development section..

Thanks for the response. I have done the Odin 3 restore before, just thought there was an easier way.
Not that I don't believe you, but I would think that the "remove AT&T bloatware" thread would have mentioned that Titanium backup doesn't work. Why bother uninstalling as opposed to deleting if you can't put it back.
Thanks for the news, even if it is not what i wanted to hear.
Although it cannot help you now, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734163 is the way to go. In layman's, it will image your phone for you to restore it in case something like this happens.
You would have had to make an image with the program still installed in order to restore it back, hence why it won't help you now. For future reference though, the options are endless with Rom Manager.
There is a stock rom floating around the forum, maybe someone can extract the app from it and you can sideload it.
Out of curiosity, why do you want it back? I will start removing the junk I don't want from my phone soon and this was one of those apps. Is there a bad sideeffect from removing it or you just simply want that feature back?
I will probably reflash again sometime soon, so no worries. It is easy enough.
The only reason i wanted it back was to use it in the DeskDock app - it is not a great widget on the home screen, but if you want to set weather or calendar in the DeskDock app, you need the widget.

Sorry if this has been asked a lot, but i cant find it anywhere.
I am trying to figure out if there is an easy way to update the phone (settings, app arrangement etc..) after flashing a new rom. I flashed cognitions rom the other day, and had to manually arrange everything and i lost all my text messages and settings.
before flashing i did a nandroid backup of my old rom, and i made a backup of my apps using Titanium Backup, so that was easy to get my apps back on my phone, but i had to re arrange everything, and setup my phone basically like it was new.
So is there anything that i could use to basically import all my settings from my old rom, or everytime you flash you have to redo everything?
anyone... maybe even just a link to somewhere i can find some info?!
Sorry man, no help from me but a bump.
From a phone on an app
I know it is safe to backup just your application and app data. The restore put all the apps back where they were before.
But I have read too much bad mojo from users trying to restore everything. Too many things going bad after doing as full restore.
Personally I would stick with just the apps and app data, it isn't tojo much if a hassle to get set back after they are back in after a flash.
But other people might say other wise.....

First off this is probably covered in the general section a search would find plenty of results. But the answer to your question is that you dont have to copy or move any of your backups at all after creating the backup. Look to your external_sd once you install your ROM and then re-install TIBU. You can open and allow Root access for TIBU then go to your phones menu option and select Preferences. Scroll down the list of option until you find Backup Folder Location then click detect and select entire device. It will locate all backup directories, select your regular backup directory and then **Important** select Use Current and close preferences. It should update all of your previous backups. Click the phones menu again and select Batch and Restore Missing Apps with data. You should be good to go at that point. If you dont have any backups then you may not have done your previous backup correctly. Another suggestion I can make is once you get your phone restored and all apps installed the way you want it. Run the Delete Backups batch job and start fresh with a new set of backups.
I must have froze the wrong application in Titanium Backup, and now I can not get into the phone applications; the home button does not respond to bring up anything. I did have a backup in Dropbox. Is it possible to unfreeze the apps via my backup in dropbox?
Thanks

Umm.. That's NOT bricking your phone. Go check out GTGS ultimate unbricker. Done.

Well, I've managed to get the phone up and running by going into download mode, and then choosing delete user data.
This kept my SuperUser intact, the problem is trying to download Titanium Backup back to the phone. When I go to my android account, and try to re-download it, it tells me it is already installed.
Thanks

Try a root explorer. See if you can uninstall that way.
If not, do the whole thing. ALL the way back to stock. Then root 3e community kernel.. Yadada.

OK...I'm a believer. Got my Titanium Backup, backup and running. Ran the backup for all apps + data, and TB brought everything back! All my apps, all my email accounts and messages, all my sync software and folders. TB even brought back my book reader to the exact page of the book I was reading!
So, everybody can LOL at me...I can take it. I promise to be more careful in the future when I freeze stuff!
Thanks TB!
Hey,
I'm new to all this ROM flashing stuff. I did a couple and they worked overall pretty well (I didn't expect flawless), but each time I've had to reconfigure the device all over again, reinstall all apps, etc. Any easy way to avoid doing this? It ends up leading to a lot of wasted time I could be spending finding other ways to mess with my phone...hehe.

Sync up all your contacts and use titanium backup for restoring and backing up apps.

i bought titanium backup exactly for this reason. the paid version installs everything very fast and automatically, the free version is still helpful but you have to manually press install and ok on every app.
Also along with TB try to remember to make a "Safe" NAND backup for your phone when it is set up and working great. This is a life saver when you flash an awesome "insert something here" and it eff's up your phone you then have a clean working backup to return to with little fuss. Rom manager does it along with a few others. Welcome to the fun. Remember to READ the forum carefully their have been a lot of Hard bricks lately because people tried to install a non compatible ROM.
Titanium backup is the way to go. I want to make an android application that restores all your data from a nandroid backup after you flash a new ROM...

Thanks for asking this!
Thanks for asking this! I've flashed custom ROMs on my old phone, but started over from square one each time. I assumed everyone did this. I've heard of Titanium Backup many times, but I guess I always assumed people just wanted a safety net. I didn't realize you could use it to "re-install" apps into a newly flashed ROM.

who makes this?
Go to the market and buy titanium back up its, the best out there after flashing rom go to titanium back up again and Pico the apps you want back on you device or reinstall them all
I use SMS backup and restore too when I wipe all my phone data, which I found in the market. It backups your text messages to sd card before you wipe and you can restore after. I find it quite helpful.
Make sure you restore apps only withTB don't restore data it can cause problems. I only restore data on a small hand full of apps individually.
If you use a custom launcher they can usually back up seeing and home screen use that.
I would suggest making a nand backup of a fresh stock rom before you install apps as to keep its size small

Also important to mention that if you go between different versions of Android then never restore system data as it will usually cause force closes

Yeah, I download Titanium and its da bomb, however, I was a bit concerned about overwriting system apps. If you do a complete restore, won't you bugger up your newly flashed device completely? I also noticed that when, for example, I restored Amazon WITH data, it made me enter my id and pw all over again.
Fortunately, I haven't bricked mine yet. I'm eager to avoid doing that as it would cost me $$$$ to replace it. Is it a problem returning a bricked device under warranty by essentially playing "dumb" user?
I only back up user apps.

What about when your just updating a rom? Do you still need to wipe and restore with TB or can you just flash the update?

Advanced restore in cwm, make a nandroid before you flash, then choose advanced restore and restore data, good to go, no app needed

I always use Titanium backup for restoring the apps... There are a few in the market but most of them did not work well for me (although they have quite good rating). I have a Titanium free so I have to select the apps I want to re-install and do it one at a time if you are willing to spend money I will say that you get the paid version where it is much easier to re-install
N'joy

To be honest, I didn't know about this. And so this works when going from any ROM to any ROM?? It's as simple as that? No special considerations for certain situations?
I just finished restoring my Samsung Galaxy SIII after jumping into the latest Verizon OTA without checking it out first. (Mistake!)
I like what I have now, but would like to see if a custom ROM might be a little less loaded with Samsung and Verizon bloat. I am not interested in tons of more tweaking options, just good wireless reception, and UI quickness. I do NOT want to repeat reinstalling all my apps from scratch, and setting them up again. I am rooted, unlocked, have TWRP, Odin, Titanium Backup Pro,Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper. Can someone help make the transition into a new ROM as pain free, and easy as possible. Once again, I'm not asking about how to flash the ROM as much as I am asking about getting up and running after flashing. Thanks for your time and help.

Dear tgrobi one has to restore only data not the app as the app might clash with the contact app of one's new rom so what is advisable is to only restore data also titanium will give a warning message that restoring the app will not work properly and eventually result in a FC
It happened with me.....:crying:

You have to download app saver in the market. And backup your app. App saver make your app become .apk. Then just backup your .apk to your sd cars.
Hopefully it helpa you

^^^This.
I have titanium backups and mess around flashing numerous roms.
Apps and their settings can easily be restored by making backups with titanium and restoring apps and data.
You can also save your contact list with it but if you have a google account and sync enabled your phone will restore contacts from your google account.
Is the Titanium Backup still a good advice now, after 8 years since this thread was started? I'm going to migrate my Moto G "falcon" from 4.4 to 7.1. I do have a paid version of Titanium Backup. Thank you!
