Has anyone gotten Titanium Backup to restore apps from 2.2?

None of the processing modes work for me, and I get "parse error" when using the interactive mode. Any ideas?

i was able to restore succesfully

Hmm. Maybe it's because I downloaded straight from my Dropbox. I'll try directly copying the files.
Edit: That did the trick.

Any ideas why I might be getting a problem where I select an App, it says 'What would you like to restore?' and there are no buttons underneath to select App or Data?

Hi all,
Yes it should work with 2.3, I've already got positive reports, including a couple from G themselves
Parse error means an apk backup is corrupted. I'll do some additional tests on the Dropbox download code, since it might be related.
Thanks!

This happens when you have a data-only backup, and you can't restore it because the app is not installed anymore. The typical case is system apps that are gone in your new Rom.

Okay, it looks like I backed them up wrong I guess. Will have another go, thanks.

I tried again, still not working...
Each app has 3 files in the folder. Some apps I can install from the market and then re-apply the data, but others wont (K-9 Mail for example)
Any ideas?

This is very strange, you should definitely be able to restore the data from any backup, as long as the corresponding app is installed...

Indeed, there was a serious problem with the Dropbox download code. That's the last time I'm taking Dropbox's sample code for granted. It's fixed in 3.6.5 (and the problem existed only for *downloading*, not for uploading).
Thanks !

I can restore app data if I manually install the app first. I used to be able to batch backup all my apps and then batch restore them all. Why can't I from 2.2 to 2.3?

Probably something wrong with your source, in this case, the apps and data. I've had no issue at all besides updating busybox when I first launched the app. I just transfered the TB folder from my computer to the phone and did a restore, everything worked fine.

Thanks for the awesome quick fix! Just another reason why Titanium Backup is one of my most loved apps!

I've tried two backups now both the same problem.
Market busybox is 1.17, so I installed it (and ran it), but in TB it still says 1.16?

Am having difficulties too. Restoring from a Desire (Leedroid 2.2f) to a nice new Desire HD (Leedroid 1.51). Have even tried to restore from the original SD card, but Titanium on the HD never sees / recognises the backup made on the desire. And yes, the backup folders in titanium are set to the same name and path (default). The Titanium app versions are different - The newest version is on the HD and I understand that it is meant to support backups from previous versions. I can see all the backup files in the backup folder too. Any ideas or advice would be appreciated.

no problem at all
just hit restore all user apps
30 min later done
300+ apps (aprox 1 min each restore)

Wouldn't that be 300 minutes at 1 per minute...?
I think it's 0.1 mins/app, or about 6 seconds each based on your time and apps.

i do suck at match

i used to remember the whole multiplication table up to 12x12, and come up with the answer immediately
but now it takes me a while to even think the answer for 3x7 LOL

Should I try it via dropbox - Would it make any difference?
Am not using the same gmail address for the new phone - Does Titanium try and be very clever and link the backup to a user or a specific device?

no, TB will restore it regardless, but any purchased apps, will be gone from market
the purchased apps are linked to specific gmail accounts

[Q] [Help] Newb Questions - I've tried searching

Hey guys, I'm back with another question.
Little info about the phone first.
I'm running MikShift v1.01
Kernal 2.6.32.21-gbd7abbd
I'm not getting Sprint's Visual Voicemail on my phone. It just text me and says I have a new voicemail. Is there a way to add this on? I've tried downloading MikShift v1.1, but everytime I do, it still says v1.01
Also, I've downloaded cyanogen mod7. The only problem is, when I flash to it, none of my messages or contacts come with it. Is there a way to load these on once I transfer over?
One last question. Is there Kernal I'm running current? Or is there another one I should be running at this time?
Thanks in advance for your help. Will "thanks" with any info given.
Thanks again!

Well for the voicemail u have to get the sprint voicemail apk. And install that ..and if u want ur contacts saved u can use an app called my backup from the market or just go to ur contacts and then hit menu and export them to ur SD card. That exporting method works on sense and cm7 and whenever u wanna put ur contacts back just go to the contacts app and then hit menu and import the contacts from ur SD card
Edit : oh and for ur messages u can also back them up with that my backup app from the market.or just look for SMS backup or something

Ok. I just went ahead and went with google voice after reading some reviews. I want to avoid the constant error messages from Sprint.
As far as the backup methods you suggested, I tried "my backup" and did a complete backup. Then when I loaded cyanogen mod7, I went into file manager and attempted to load it. It started to reboot and it stopped at a triangle with an exclamation point inside of it and the android guy. It just say there for 10 minutes. So, I assumed that means something was wrong.
Any insight on this? Thanks for your help on this too!

I think I may give up on these CM roms. Maybe I'll just stick with the Mik roms. I don't have any problems with them. Plus, they should have a sense with GB up and going, bug free here soon.
I appreciate your help though!

Sorry for being a noob, but i am annoyed by doubletwist constantly loading by itself, is it a must to have this stupid app, or i can work without it fine?

I don't know about removing T-Mobile backup (unless if you want to reinstall it again)! Black Ice 2 needs it for contacts to sync! Off-topic, but of relative importance!

you can use Titanium backup to backup and restore contacts. i'm not sure if you want that service running in the background the whole time!

I've removed Tmobile backup. I have all my contacts saved on my gmail account, which sync's to my phone, so there is no need for the T-mobile stuff.

You can use Bloat Freezer (Paid) in the market, and use TitaniumBackup (Free or Paid) in the market to back up contacts if you want to remove T-Mobile Contacts Backup.

I just save my contacts onto my sd card by selecting "export to sd" and after I flash the new rom I just select " import from sd" and bam, all my contacts are back in place.

Use root uninstaller to get rid of anything you dont want.

use titanium backup make a backup and uninstall just in case u wanna re install and wrong forum to post this in honestly.

root app remover
or
Fast uninstaller
both work well. google for list of tmobile you can uninstall!
FotaFix also removes extra fota software you don't need in your on-phone memory

Yep, jst root and remove bloatware with titanium backup. But as the other guys said, dealwith ur contacts first.

Bricked my Phone!

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
Charles

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!

[Q] Titanium Backup Pro

I bought Titanium Backup Pro and have a key.
However, whenever I flash a new ROM, all my apps start coming back. If I try to install the Key from the Play Store, it gets pushed under everythign else and downloads at the end.
I tried the option in Titanium Backup settings where it copies Titanium Backup as an update.zip to the sd card, but that only restores the regular, FREE Titanium Backup app, without the key.
So my question is: How do I restore the Titanium Backup Pro Key on my first boot into a new rom, without installing any of the other apps I previously had? (I prefer to restore everything with Titanium Backup, rather than letting the Play Store do it)
Thanks for reading

When you flash a new rom uncheck keep this phone backed up with my google account. That is not exactly how its worded but its in the initial set up.

REplY
You should have installed MY BACKUP ROOT before flashing the new rom

I do the following steps:
before installing new ROM,
I first back up all apps using Titanium Backup. I ensure that I back up the Titanium PRO app as well.
Then after installing the new ROM... i do the following:
after signing into the phone - I go to play store and stop all downloads and install Titanium Backup free.
when I run the free version it automatically registers the PRO version as it is backed up in it.
then I can restore all other apps using Titanium back up PRO.
Let me know if this was helpful to you.

Yeah I figured it, what I have to do is sign in from my account but uncheck the boxes for backing up accounts and restoring to the phone. Then I just download both the program and its key from the market. Thanks!

I I wish there were more tutorials about the TB pro....

Reply to your question
I hear dev support is pretty good (never had to contact him/her/them myself though)

because when applications freeze, then thaw and then I said: application not installed

I leave the option to keep my phone baked up to my account when I flash a new rom, but always uncheck the first option that says something to the effect of "restore from my account". Then I grab tb from the play store, unless the rom has a baked in file explorer, since I keep a copy backed up in my storage.
Installing my backup root prior to flashing a new rom will do absolutely no good if you wipe data.

You guys are unchecking the 'backup to google accounts ' box, but can you check it again, later on? Because I do want my stuff to be backed upwith google as well.

You dont have to uncheck anything, as soon as the phone gets to the homescreen just go to the play store and stop the downloads just takes a click. Keeping google restore checked you will have your contacts back as soon as you boot up.

Contacts will restore whether the restore from Google account is selected during initial setup or not, as long as contacts are allowed to sync with your account.

Ported them with usb to my desktop from the computer. did a full wipe. flashed pacman 4.4 and gapps. then i installed tb from the play store, also pro version, then ported the files back from computer to tb file, opened tb and want to choose restore but there are zero apps to restore and normaly there are 350.
