I have Launcher Pro installed on my Samsung Vibrant. I try to back it up, but it says an error occured and check if the sd card is available, which it is. It created a folder on the sd with nothing in it. I deleted it and tried again, same error, but created the folder for the backup, any help please?
Samsung Vibrant | Rooted | Stock Rom
is it possible to use appsaver from the market becoz
i backup all of the apps that i have in my N1
and if i want them again or after i install a desired ROM i just install it back
cheers if this works
I am having the same issue. The reason I want to backup up is so that I can keep my launcher pro settings and the arrangement of my icons when i install new roms. Is there another way to do this?
Fix for your problem....
Uninstall from your phone through market. Delete the folder that was generated on your sd card. Delete any backup that you may have created (like with Titatium Backup, etc.), then reinstall through market or download .apk directly from LauncherPro site. Should be good to go, it worked for me.
Thank you! It worked

So when install a new rom, its a clean install so theres no apps or anthing.
to get all the apps back i just appbrain and install all the apps that i have sync'd from my previous rom.
this takes FORRREEVVVVEERRRR because it prompts me to install each app one by one from the market.
theres got to be a better way to do this.
i cant seem to find anything though, some people said to use titanium backup but that was even slower because it takes longer to prompt you to install each app.
is there some way that you can install a whole group in one go.
also assuming that i go from a 2.2 rom to a 2.2 rom, the apps that i have installed on my sd card, will they remain installed after i flash a new rom?
please help this would be flashing such a easier process!!!!
oh and i have a rogers captivate i896 on rogers.
thanks in advance guys!
Backup to your desktop before you flash, wipe, then use adb to mass install the apps. Cd to the folder you saved your apps in, "adb install *" should do the trick.
Could someone point me the direction of some tutorial or guide on how to do this as I'm not to comfortable with adb

I would also suggest Titanium Backup. Appbrain is a pain because it asks you to accept and download the apps one by one. But with Titanium Backup you just go to the backup screen then do a batch reinstall of all missing apps. Plus, if you choose to you can also back up the data with the apps. So once you choose to reinstall the apps there is also an option that says reinstall apps + data. it might take about 5 min. depending on how many apps you have, but its just a push of one button. As far as the apps staying on your SD card, I don't believe they stay there. The only apps that stay are in the market and they are your purchased apps. Unless your using a new rom, sometimes the sprint apps are taken out and put on the sd card. Hope I helped. Take care.
cool this is the best i have heard yet on android os
This statement ([From TiBu website]It's done ! The only thing you may have to adjust is usually your wallpaper/widgets.) in the developers homepage is closest to what I need to know, though this doesn't fully answer my question.
I want to preform a complete system clean and restore using ODIN. I will then flash a new ROM.
Here are the questions
1- Where and how do I save the bu and res folder. If I'm preforming a complete bare-bones (2.1update1) clean of the system. In doing this the TiBu bu/res folder will disappear. So can it be moved to my pc?
2- Wallpapers are in my gallery on ex-sd. Does TiBu, yet have capability to restore widgets?
3- I have worked hard to get my phone (theme, icons, widgets etc...) to where they are the best for me. the ROM, not so much hence the change. How do I save all these things so when I install the new ROM it looks exactly as it does now but w/ a different ROM?
4- When installing a bu folder does TiBu need access to the market?
Thank you, Tomween1

1. backups are stored in a directory on your /sdcard/ (the 16gb internal one) called TitaniumBackup
2. your widgets are merely apps that you have installed from the market. the widget will be restored, but not ON the homescreen.
3. cant do it. with things like launcher pro or adw you can backup and restore configuration from within the app itself, but it wont restore everything back to your homescreen the same way it was before. where a widget was before you will get a 'problem loading widget' box.
4. no. backups are stored locally on the /sdcard/ as apks in the TitaniumBackup folder. it just restores those apks from the local storage. no need to talk to market for that
Hi, this is kind of a difficult question for me to explain, but I will try.
I have Titanium Backup installed and it was working fine for a while.
One day the icon went corrupt and the app would not open.
Naturally I went to uninstall and reinstall the apk.
When I uninstalled, the app icon and links disappeared and the app ceased to function, but the app did not uninstall.
When I try to reinstall, it asks to replace the old with the new one.
The install finishes with "Application Not Installed"
I can not access Titanium Backup at all.
I have tried using ADB to uninstall and I have uninstalled from the manage applications. I also tried deleting the .apk from /data/app/.
Titanium backup will no longer show up in my Manage Application menu.
I made a flashable .zip from another phone and installed it that way, TiBu still did not show up in the app list, but all the files are in the phones filesystem.
Hopefully someone can help me fix this without reinstalling the ROM.
The problem phone: HTC Hero CDMA CM7 Nightlies.
Thank you!
I hate to bump my own post, but my thread seems to have gotten lost among newer ones and I do not know where else to ask for help fixing it.
Hey,
I bought the paid version of titanium backup pro in hopes that every time I install a new rom, I don't have to manually press okay to install all my apps again which can take a lot of time. I bought the full version and backed up titanium pro to a zip file so I can flash it when I install my new rom (as instructed to).
When I installed my new rom and then flashed titanium backup from the zip file, it doesnt show it as the paid version. I tried everything, removing it, installing the paid version from titanium backup itself, downloading the free version again from the market, updating it. It won't let me re-download the paid version from the market even though it said I already bought it.
I've emailed them twice about this and still haven't got a response.
Its very frustrating because I want to install new roms but don't want to manually recover all the apps again in the batch mode.
Please help
I've always just redownloaded tibu and then after it installed redownloaded the paid patch. It hasn't given me any problems so far.

You won't.
Literally EVERY single time I use TB I get the message that I need the paid key.
I've unnstalled and reinstalled TB about 20 times (conservatively speaking) and it still comes up that I need the paid version to freeze an app.
No response whatsoever from from them and no solutions on this site either.
Solved it for me!
I had the same problem and managed to solve it:
* After flashing a new ROM
* I Installed Titanium backup from Google Play
* Inserted my External SD Card which had the backup folder for TiBU
* At this stage TiBU did not recognise I already paid for the PRO version in the past and requested I pay to get the PRO features
* I went into TiBU Settings/Preferences/Backup Folder Location and chose "Detect!" to find the folder on the External SD Card that had all my backups
* Went back to the main TiBU screen and chose Backup/Restore and scrolled to "Titanium Backup Pro", clicked it and chose "Restore"
* Then restarted TiBU
* All good! PRO as should be!
I constantly flash my device and when doing so I lose all my downloaded apps.
I have seen some post where apps are created for others to download ( all the Google apps in a single file).
I want to be able to take all of my on my phone that I have downloaded from the market place and create just a single file so that after each ROM that is flashed I can load this from my SD card and BAM! they are all back- No more going online and re-downloading them.
Can this be done?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Yes its called titanium backup download it from the market. It backs up all your apps
And when u flash a new rom just redownload it from the market and it restores all your apps
I have this but I didn't know how to use it.
All I know is I bought this to remove the tethering manager and that was all I knew how to do.
Thanks for the help.
I feel like a moron
Open titaniun click menu then batch then click run next to back up all user apps. And when every u want to restore click menu batch and run next to restore all apps
Thank you....
Because of this- Now I am running a new rom I just flashed because this wonderful one click restore.
