Database Info

[Q] Titanium Backup: (filter) labels are not restored

I checked the "Auto-sync TB settings"
Then do a full wipe, reinstall TB (or launch the TB included in the ROM) and re-check that check box ... and
NOTHING
My filter labels don't reappear.
Everything else works fine, how does that setting work, is there a file on the SD card somewhere that I can check to see if TB created it fine?
I have the paid version and am now using 3.0.0.7 on Starburst 1.2.1
After 4 times re-classifying 300 apps I'd really like to solve this, what am I doing wrong, what can I check to make sure those settings are saved?
It is really hindering my ROM installations ;-)

Since no-one seems to have this problem I did some investigating myself and found a database called "custom" in /data/data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup/databases/ this seems to hold the filter information, I'll be keeping a copy of that next time I do a full wipe in case that "Sync" setting doesn't work again.

Nice Find dude! I was looking for a solution and you got it!

Lately it has been working well for me.
I've also found where the backup on the SD card is, it is in:
[sdcard]/data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup/
Here is a settings directory with the labels db and all settings and it also has a licensing file so that a fresh install knows you have the paid version without having to connect to the Market.

Thanks.
But i don't understand how to solve the exact same problem as you had before. I know that this directory exists and the labels are saved there (/data/data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup/databases/).
You make a backup of this folder on the SD card and after wiping your mobile phone you restore this folder and start TB afterwards?
I hope you still track this topic
Thanks.
EDIT: At least i found a workaround for me. Seems like TB overwrites the Sync folder. Therefor i've installed a ROM (after wiping), installed Titanium Backup, made all my settings (encryption, labels, pro key, dropbox settings) and made a ROM backup with ROM Manager. It's not what i want. But i can live with that for now.

I have this same exact issue. No fixes yet

I wrote the TB support and they've requested some additional information. I hope they will fix it.
The support said TB has problems with dual sd devices.
I own a HTC Desize Z which is not a dual sd device.

1 - Replace files in SDCard\data\com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup\settings\ with your backup.
2 - Wipe Titanium data
3 - Start Titanium ..
Thinking it is it first start it will restore settings... don't know why it do not work the first time after flashing...
Seems that it do not check "Auto-Synced" settings on every start, only first start (empty data)

I have the same problem.
I hope it can be solved.
=======================
2011.12.21 Update
hi, guys, I found another app can restore TB's settings.
Delta Backup(market.android.com/details?id=com.ds.deltabackup)
u can use Delta Backup to backup "Titanium Backup".
When reinstall TB, just use Delta Backup to restore TB.
It works!

This works - THANKS! Luckily, I had backed up /sdcard/data before the wipe.
Easy enough to have a script to do this, or TB can add a feature to copy /sdcard/data/com.keramidas.TB to /sdcard/data-backup/com.keramidas.TB whenever the app exits or is terminated, then look for that directory during its first start.

Unfortunately it seems we are a tiny minority. Theres practically no info on label deletion online or in the wiki. This used to happen often when I was flashing almost weekly but I haven't changed ROMs in a while and a sense rom I just tried had a modified TB included and it deleted my highly detailed labels. It should at least keep a cache of the old setting temporarily. Even my iPad does that in cydia when you change a plist. Gonna try restoring a nandroid with sdext, super outdated though. Kinda ridiculous that a great backup app's greatest weakness is backing itself up. I still get occasional licensing issues too so who knows.
Anyone happen to know a way to restore recently overwritten data either in the phone data/data or sd/data?
Here's to a useful daily update!

That's really weird. And the TB support doesn't even know what I'm talking about. After it got too complicated for them, they stopped writing me. Maybe someone should write them again and show TB support this topic.
I'm trying to fix this issue with symlinks. I will create a backed up ROM with ROM Manager where the database file links directly to my sdcard. I think this should work.

Thanks man, this saved my problem.
The SD-Card in the SGS3 is in mnt/extSdCard, which means I also had to change the path for the backup folder to get it working.
There is also the possibility to manually import these settings to TB by opening the files in SDCard\data\com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup\settings\.

I agree. This is probably the most straightforward approach.
Although..., I have to say, the the last time that I re-installed a fresh (from the Market) not an apk on my sd (my normal M.O) my labels were restored. Who knows!
Oh and as far as TiBu even knowing of or handling this issue, I still haven't heard anything from them after writing to them.
I guess every great warrior has a weakness.

Thank you fixed it for me

I was having this problem after including titanium backup in my rom. I think the problem is this:
System apps are allowed to start at boot (user apps aren't until they have been run at least once by the user)
Titanium backup starts at boot to check it if it needs to schedule any tasks
Sometimes this will happen on the first boot and before the sdcard has mounted, and it will fail to load the settings.
When you later run it yourself it will wipe the previous settings from the sdcard.
For now to get around this each time you install a new rom which includes titanium backup you can go in to settings and force close / clear data before you run it for the first time. Your previous settings should still be on the sdcard and will now be imported.
I will contact the developer about this - hopefully it wouldn't take much to fix.
[Edit] Thinking about it, pre-ics the boot permissions weren't enforced so this might happen with it installed as a user app too if you reboot before running it.

I am still not clear
1-there are 2 copies of the "data\com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup"
One on the internal memory and one in the external memory. Which one I back up and later over write .
2-How do I wipe titanium data?
Sorry if the questions sound stupid but I am stuck

Hi!
Would you mind to post your answers? I am also interested in learning this...
Does anyone know if these problems we are having are due to the fact that some devices have both internal and external sdcards? (like the transformer family)
In preferences we are able to change the location of the back up copies but not the location of the titanium back up user configuration (labels, profiles, set up...)
Every time I have tried to use TB I end up loosing my TB configuration... quite annoying!
Thanks

Apps Organizer
An easy way to restore your labels in Titanium Backup (TB) is to use the recommended program Apps Organizer (AO) .
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.code.appsorganizer
Assign labels using AO and you can see and use them to filter TB. Export the labels from AO. In your new ROM install AO and Import the labels. You will see them in TB in your new ROM and can use them to filter.

AO is helpful. I just restore AO with Data. Some things AO does not, tasker plugins for example.
It is ironic TiBU doesn't have a straightforward way to backup its settings.

[Q] Insufficient Storage Available?

Exactly as the title says. What gives?
I have free space. Over 300mb
I cleared dalvik cache but didn't work, reboot as well. Anything else I can do?
Lol, I was messing around with titanium backup and now I can't install it no matter what I do.

I'm not sure but I seem to get that with like 100mb free storage on the stock rom. As well as it saying my visual voicemail box is full which I can't even have since I'm on a prepaid plan. Usually I have to uninstall an app just to download an app that is a few hundred KB even though I have way more than enough room... although in your case TB might've caused some issues... Someone else can probably help out more than me though...

This only happened because I had uninstalled and reinstalled TB from the market a few times. I was testing something out. Was going to get TB back onto my phone and be done, but it won't install anymore. Even after I removed a few apps. I have over 400mb free now.

but if I need TB to backup certain apps before I reflash???
out of all the apps I could be having problems with
I tried clearing market data and cache as well. Still no luck. I'm starting to get really scared here. There's a lot of things I need to backup
Even if I sideload the app from my sd card, it still tells me I don't have enough space
I just uninstalled and reinstalled Mahjong Artifacts from the amazon app store a 40mb game WTF???
And TB still gives me an insufficient storage error

so it's only TB? If that's the case then use a different app to backup or even just make a nandroid backup wipe and reflash then use appextractor from the play store to pull apps from the nandroid...

Yes, its only TB. Lol that app didn't work. It would scan a nandroid and then the scan would finish. It wouldn't give me any indication of what apps it found or if there was any I could install. I was trying to find TB through one of my old backups, but it was a no go

Well es file explorer can backup any apps. You need root enabled I'm pretty sure as well, but you can do menu> manager> app manager> select (for multi select), then just select all the apps you want to back up and select backup.

File expert will backup apps, as well as things like androzip, etc...etc...
Or you could go in by hand and pull them individually with Root Explorer. Root Explorer is without equal the go to app to explore, manage and fix things on your device and well worth paying for.
Also, maybe cruise through these links about some of your backup concerns:
- Preparing for backup
- Backup Guide
...and don't forget to back up your sdcard to a computer, maybe your problem is similar to something like what was found here?
Official CWM Recovery 5.0.2.7 ...and once you finish backing up your sdcard to the computer you should format it after working through this issue and before flashing a new ROM.
Probably something silly like leftover files in /sdcard/android/data or something similar...
...i'm just getting off and crashing now, and meant to a while ago, so if I think of something sometime else not on the edge of sleep i'll post it. Good luck.
Edit real quick:
...and the clockworkmod backup is always a good grab:

...instead of using an app to try to fight with the backup image on the phone, use a real computer and the unyaffs tools to open it. You can get whatever you want.

Thanks for the help guys. I'm guessing there was a problem with TB and it wasn't going to have any help getting started again.
Bit the bullet and rebooted into Virtuous Inquisition. Amazing rom with great battery life. You should try it out for anyone who wants AOSPish. Gets better battery than it's Sense cousin Primadonna.
All apps are working again. I will work on getting some of my apps back from my old nandroid when I have time.

[APP][ROOT][2.2+][ICS] AppExtractor V2.0 Beta (Adds CWM6 Support)

Hi All,
I've been trying to find some spare time to work on a new version of AppExtractor and I'm to a point where I'm looking for testers / feedback.
AppExtractor is a tool which will allow you to restore individual applications, data, SMS, and MMS messages from your nandroid backups.
The new version of AppExtractor supports CWM 6 backups (which restores faster than other backups), CWM 5, and TWRP. I have also updated the UI and some other tweaks to hopefully speed up restoring from backups.
If you are interested, please give this new version a test drive and let me know what you think and any issues that you run into.

Thanks!

Awesome app
Sent from my Sony Tablet S using xda premium

I tried it, doesn't seem to be able to restore data though. Kudos for being able to read from the CMW6 backups in the first place .... It would be great if it was possible to restore individual apps' data though, it's most of the purpose of such a utility. Oh, also it couldn't restore nether my sms nor my phone data either...

Okay I have been unable to restore SMS/MMS using the app. At first I thought it was only related to CWM and the new Backup file system Koush went to (which he changed again), so I dumped CWM for TWRP which I thought would fix the issue. Turns out I was wrong when restoring from a TWRP SMS/MMS restore says it completes but the message list is still empty (even after a reboot).
Any thoughts on a fix.

thanks for your work on this.
Using on a CWM 6 recovery Samsung S3 4g, had to manually change card location to extSdCard and then it found the backup. Sadly once it finds it, it opens the backup up but can't see anything inside it. Will wait for further updates.
Let me know if you need more info etc.

You are right, so there is only one application that supports CWM v6 backup format, and this application is called nandroid manager.
It's here:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.h3r3t1c.bkrestore&hl=fr
Currently version 1.1.2
There is some issue with it:
There is no feature to restore contact
The feature to rename (the pen icon) is breaking the restoring through CWM afterwards, because the md5 checking script is based on the original folder name
For me Restore call logs was not working at all
Not sure Restore wifi was working, same for bluetooth.
Restore Home screen not supported yet, and for which launcher?

You're more likely to have problems restoring entire apps with Titanium Backup than just restoring data; if you are having problems, try reinstalling the app from whichever source it came from, then restore data.
I've never had problems restoring data between roms, but I've read many warnings against restoring apps when changing roms.
Also, when changing between very similar roms, you often don't need to wipe data, unless you are "downgrading" to a version compiled from older source.
You can always do a /system partition format and flash a new rom, then see if it will boot without issues. I've also be able to selectively wipe data for problematic apps to fix them.
I really don't like the nuclear option of factory resets, just because it can take hours to bring a phone back to a state similar to the state it was in, and it can affect saved states for some apps that attached to the device ID.

Original problem
I have been having problems restoring apps with titanium backup and so far no one has been able to find the solution, I couldn't find a solution on google and titanium backup support isn't responding to my support request. Anyways, I'm trying to restore apps from pandasa123's unofficial cyanogenmod to matrixzone's unofficial cyanogenmod. When I restore on the free version it opens install window and then when it says installing it changes to app not installed. Suspected problem apps are Bloons TD 5, Drunken Wrestlers and Star Wars: Commander. When I had the free version, it seems after trying to restore drunkin wrestlers and it says app not installed then all the apps after say app not installed except a few like google authenticator. I tried again with the paid version and it still got stuck restoring things like drunkin wrestlers, bloons td 5, star wars commander. I have already tried the troubleshooting steps in tibu and have tried multiple times to restore. I have also tried older versions no luck. I could successfully restore those apps when I went from 4.4.4 to 5.0.
Also would there be any work around to manually restore the apps? Any other backup apps that are good?
Device: Samsung Galaxy S3 SGH-I747M

And one final tip that i use.........when setting up a ROM from scratch, do not sign in to the Google account until AFTER you have RESTORED all the user Apps with Titanium as the Market will try to restore all your apps from your Market user history, which is OK but will conflict with your BATCH RESTORE using TItanium Backup.

Thanks, I don't restore any of my apps from the play store (unchecked "All Apps" in the restore screens on initial setup of the rom) but do have some games connected to Google Play Games. Would this solution still possibly work?

It still doesn't restore properly and it seems to also get stuck on a new game I downloaded called LogoMania too. I didn't add a Google account at setup until I had to go to the play store to download tibu and tibu pro but made sure auto restore was off in settings. I also unchecked the malware detection in google settings and saved the apps to my internal instead of external sd but still no luck.

You're more likely to have problems restoring entire apps with Titanium Backup than just restoring data; if you are having problems, try reinstalling the app from whichever source it came from, then restore data.
I've never had problems restoring data between roms, but I've read many warnings against restoring apps when changing roms.
Also, when changing between very similar roms, you often don't need to wipe data, unless you are "downgrading" to a version compiled from older source.
You can always do a /system partition format and flash a new rom, then see if it will boot without issues. I've also be able to selectively wipe data for problematic apps to fix them.
I really don't like the nuclear option of factory resets, just because it can take hours to bring a phone back to a state similar to the state it was in, and it can affect saved states for some apps that attached to the device ID.

So in order to only restore data, I would:
1. Install the app from Google Play
2. In tibu, do a batch restore and select "data only" instead of "apps+data"
Is that correct?

Yes.

One important step before you restore is the verify the backups. Go into TB->batch->Verify Backups. See if everything is okay with no errors.
Also, remember some apps may not be compatible with your upgraded Android version.

I verify every time. Also, I'm on android 5.0.2 already trying to get to another 5.0.2 rom I believe.

One more thing I forgot to mention: if you want to recover an app, try to recover it without data. Recovering data for apps between CM versions, or even app versions, can cause headaches sometimes (especially Google apps).
Also, TB has a website with help. Maybe there is an answer in the docs to help you.

Thanks guys, it worked!

Titanium Backup troubleshooting

So I have been using TB for years now, since back in the day that I had the HTC Hero and I have never had a problem with it until now. There are some certain apps that it will just not restore no matter what I try. It begins restoring the others just fine but when it gets to the same exact apps, it just stops and freezes.
I am using the Restore missing apps with data option.
I have tried deleting all backups and backing up again. I have tried verifying my backups various times. I have also tried not using batch restore for those specific apps (Going directly to that app and restoring just that one app with and without data, and it just hangs as well).
I am using SuperSU with my binary updated and busy box installed. I also changed the application processing mode to indirect. Is anyone else having this same issue? Its not on one specific rom, it happens on every rom I flash may it be stock based or aosp. I have exactly 112 apps backed up so when I have to force stop TB, and go back to uncheck the apps that are not restoring various times to restore the rest, it sucks especially since I am very picky with things working as they should.
Apps it will not restore:
Tippy Tipper
Subway Surfer
Nimble Quest
Battlefriends at sea gold
Commander (Star wars)
Instasize
If anyone has any idea what may be causing this and how to fix it, please let me know. Thank you beforehand!

What kernel do you have installed?

Stock CM that came with the official CM12 rom.

But either way, I have had this issue on every rom I have flashed.

I've had this happen to me, but I don't remember what I did to fix it.
Do you have SELinux in permissive mode?

It's in enforced mode. How can I change it?

I use this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mrbimc.selinux

I tested this out and I am still having the same issue with the same apps.

I am having a similar issue. Diff device, but I couldn't find any other info. Oddly yesterday it restored no problem.
I was on a diff rom tho. Maybe I'll flash another rom.

If you go to the play store are you able to install them? I have had a few that i can't restore, but once I've installed them from the play store I can restore the backed up data. I haven't been able to figure out why some restore and others don't (unless they aren't compatible with the DPI and the Android version I've found a few that when you look them up in the play store they are not compatible)

I have been able to install them from the play store without any issue, I just can't restore them using TB no matter what I try. And its weird that its the same apps every time. So it is something that those apps have that does not get along. Can someone manipulate the situation and check on their end? I am running Illusion (Latest version from the 18th) and latest version of TB. See if you can restore those specific apps backed up from any rom.

Try changing the mount namespace separation setting in super su. I got that message when I first installed titanium it was a warning I don't know what it does or if it will fix your problem

I realized today that when backing up the specific apps after deleting all backups (Fresh backup), it rushes through those specific apps like as if it doesn't want to back it up but it doesn't give me an error message.

some apps don't like restoring to a different rom than they were made on.
Have you tried using the option in TB to create an update.zip you can then flash?

Hi there in desperation I come to this thread. Ive tried everything thats suggested in this thread and more.
TT backup Pro home page shows all necessary items like Root etc checked.
Problems with Pro:
1..Nandroid restore crashes immediately on item selection eg as soon as Menu Item Nandroid is selected Titanium crashes.
2..As mentioned by others, some apps wont restore; TT sits there in restore mode with nothing happening. This is on several apps.
3..Menu/Backup data to XML Bookmarks=yes Messages=yes Call log=crash/'Unfortunately, TT bup has stopped.'
4..Several other annoyances in reliability but the above are most important.
I have politely asked Titanium for support but they dont bother answering. After a few days waiting I gave the app a feedback of 1 on Play thinking that would get some response but no!
In 20 years of computer work, I have never had a software supplier with such a terrible support policy, and the feedback page for this app supports this comment.
Im sorry to have to come to this forum asking for help, but the Titanium folks leave me no choice.
As an aside I also use 'Backup Your Mobile' which IMHO is better at restoring settings and reliably restores apps with settings at no cost if you can put up with the ads.
Kind regards,
Alistair.
Since this post and no replies I have submitted 2 more support requests with TTBup support which is done via a web page interface. I even supplied a small video showing the problem. Alogcat does not report any errors which is odd.
Still no replies from TTBup support.
