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.
I have my Nexus S running stock android and its rooted. Want to switch over to CM7 RC1. Since this is my first time I am concerned about the 175+ installed apps and their data
My first back up using Titanium was a "Backup all user apps and system data"
Over a week I have installed few more apps and upgraded few. Now I have run "Backup all new apps and newer versions".
Have also verified backup.
[Experimental] Migrate system data is unchecked.
Should I be using this option ?
Has anybody tried migrating system data from stock android to CM7 ?
Will I have to perform "Backup all user apps and system data" again to back up system data ?
I hope I am on the right track and not missing on something
And I should copy SD card data as it is and copy it back as it is right ? Anyways to do away with orphaned data ?
i've never used the migrate system data option, to prevent weird bugs from getting a life of its own
it's safer just to stick with user data and apps when you restore
for backup i always backup everything regardless
So do you use "Backup all user apps and system data" option everytime before u flash rom ?

That is what I do. Usually, I try to back up everything every week or so but I generally clear out all backups every once in awhile too just to get rid of stuff I don't want anymore.
Okay thanks

same here
also there is an option to enable the automated scheduled full backup
Yep. I think it would be a good idea to schedule it during sleep time/charging time and also to upload it to your dropbox account.
I've just started trying out custom roms and I've noticed while some roms such as CyanogenMod lets you restore all previously installed apps upon installation other ones doesn't. If I flash a rom which doesn't support it all my apps still stand as installed if I search for them in market on the computer however it's a pain to manually reinstall all apps so is there anyway to trigger something which reinstall all apps like CM do?
well, i don't know what PHONE you are using, but on my inspire 4g with a gingerbread rom, altho the rom doesn't do much with app reloads, just by signing into my google account my apps reappear on their own.
Use Titanium Backup. Run a batch backup of user apps. Then when you install a new rom, run a batch restore. This will restore data as well - game progress, an app's settings, etc. The free version only allows one backup at a time (if you backup the app again, it overwrites the last backup) and you have to agree to the permissions of each app. In the paid version, you can set the max number of backups yourself and everything will install in the background. There's tons of other cool stuff the app can do, I suggest checking it out.

This is the way to go. Trust me on that. One more thing if you kind of like a certain rom but you just want to try others make sure you do a nandroid back up. This makes life a hell of a lot easier if you don't like rom boot back to recovery and restore your last back up. I nan once a week so I keep a fresh image cuz I am always adding and removing apps.

As far as my experience when (this afternoon), TI is the ONLY way to go (although, you'll want to root first).
A follow up question on this topic. I have TI Pro and made a backup of apps and data. After flashing an update ROM on my EVO, I could get most of the apps, but not all of them back. Actually, some apps would not even reinstall -- e.g. Twitter gave me some error about a shared library missing. Any ideas?
I bought the paid version of Titanium backup but during batch restore, I still have to press install/cancel and open/done for each app. Is that correct or did I miss changing a setting?

I am about to flash my first ROM on my Inspire. I did a NAND backup and copied all the contents of my sd card to my computer.
My question is if I transfer it back onto my sd card after flashing will it restore my apps and other data?

No. Apps need to be installed, not just copied (that's assuming that you're talking about apps on the SD card, and not on the phone's memory).
Do as most of the posts above suggest and do a backup using Titanium Backup. Then you can batch restore (with the paid version) or app-by-app restore (with the free version) after flashing your new ROM.
Titanium is excellent , however I find backups arent always compatible between roms. I sometimes get errors after a restore. For that reason I just sing into Market after flashing a new rom and let the apps re download.
TI Backup
I purchased the pro version, batch backed up all of my apps. Installed MikG on Evo 4g and now I can't access TI back up. I also did a nand back up. when I restore data nothing happens. Please help. I just want my apps back.

that's the right way..
Two options.
1. Push your apps recorded in your android market library to your phone.
2. Use titanium backup.
Titanium backup is easier, but since you do a reset to make everything fresh, I would prefer the first option.
What you do is to go to android market library from your PC browser. It has all your apps listed. For each app, use the install button to push it to your phone. You need not wait between apps. Just push which ever app you need and they will automatically get downloaded and installed to your phone. For some reason, Google has kept the reinstall feature hidden. See this for details -
http://www.skipser.com/p/2/p/how-to-reinstall-android-apps.html
I don't know, google play used to reinstall my apps when I was on stock sony rom, but since I use Cyanogen now, it doesn't do it. I always keep checked option "keep backed up with bla bla", but it doesn't restore automatically :/

OK here is my problem. Im still a noobie at all this. I backed up all my files with titanium backup, wiped both my caches factory reset and flashed my ROM on my GS3. Downloaded titanium backup again and all the restore options were empty, nothing there. But my internal memory is still full and under titanium backup in my files all my apps and data is still there. Why didn't TB save my backup? Is there anyway to restore using just the files or am I pretty much f ucked? Please help thank you.

Have TB look for backup folders. It may be on your other memory location
And How exactly do I do that??
Hmm, what rom are you using? Cuz it may have changed your internal storage just a tad bit. If you're using AOSP, you might need to do this first: open Titanium Backup (TB) and go to Settings/Preferences/Backup Folder Location//Detect/Scan Whole Device.
That said:
1) open TB and choose "Backup/Restore" then "Click to edit filters"
2) select "backed up" and "uninstalled"
3) tap the check mark on the top right. You'll see your backed up apps now.
4) Tap the check mark on the top right again, scroll down to the "Restore" tab and choose "restore missing apps with data." Do not restore system data.
5) Done.

Hi-
Running xt912 with CM10.1 Rom.
Followed instructions above and all of my apps/data were not installed to the ROM. Any idea why this is (not) happening.
Missing so many apps? Any help is appreciated.

Aight, I see you're using a different phone so I do not know the file structure. Did TB restore any of your apps OR was it unable to find your backups at all? Cuz if it did not find any backups then open TB and navigate here: Menu/Preferences/Backup Folder Location/Detect/Whole device. This will force TB to scan your entire device (internal and external storage) for your TB backups. If this does not work then there likely is not a backup on the device.

Thanks! I have done all that u mentioned, and I was able to find backups. BUT, all of my apps have not restored. Am I too recreate every email account and every socia account. That sucks! What the devil is the purpose of TB?
All the forums say TB Pro is the best-does it all, well I found this and it is very upsetting:
1. Titanium Backup will restore all the apps along with their data to your device one by one. On the free version of the app, you will have to restore apps manually one after another. Just make sure that you don’t tap the open app button after restoring any of the app.
If you buy the pro version from the market, all the apps will be silently restored to your phone, and if you have tons of apps on your device, it makes it worth the purchase. THERE WAS NO SILENT INSTALL (and the backup are there and on my PC)
2. For some apps I don’t have the “Restore” button. Why ?
This is probably a system app that you don’t have anymore. System apps are part of your ROM, so Titanium Backup will only backup their data (not the apps themselves).
For this reason, if you backup a system app and then switch to a ROM where that app is missing, Titanium Backup obviously cannot restore the data for it. You have a data-only backup. Before you can restore the data you’ll need to install that system app again, either by reinstalling your ROM or by copying its apk manually into /system/app. I TRIED TO INSTALL JUST APPS/DATA. NO SYSTEM APPS.
If you had disabled the “Normal apps (apk)” and/or “Protected apps (apk)” options in the Backup settings, then all backups of your apps will be data-only, in which case you’ll need to re-install these apps manually before you can restore their data.
So, after deleting Rom from Slot1 (old Cm10 build) and adding the RC5 build, NOTHING was restored. How can this be??? Is there anyway that I can drag and drop files from my PC to the phone? Any and all ideas are appreciated.
This is a noobs Guide to how to use Titanium Backup .
Many of the users might have heard of a app named Titanium Backup. Its the most used app in the Android Market who frequently flash ROMS and for those who doesnt want to download all apps again and again from Store after flashing new ROMS.
What is Titanium Backup?
Titanium Backup is an app which can backup all your app+data in just one click(Even system apps but not recommened).Can delete system apps,convert system apps to user apps.
So how to use.
Note: Your phone must be rooted and USB debugging should be on which is present in developer options while installing.
Lets start with first thing you see after installation.
If you face a root acces failure then tap on option button of your phone scroll down tap on reload application.
You will see 3 tabs:
1.Overview
2.Backup/Restore
3.Schedule
Overview will give you the short details of your root device and memory.
Like Root access. Data profile(Used to set any filters for a app). Memory details of your partitions and usage.
Backup/Restore will show the details of the apps installed in you phone.
You will see different type of apps highlighted in different colors
White: The apps you installed
Red: System apps which can be converted to system apps.
Yellow: Most important system apps which can not be moved(Dont uninstall or else you need to reflash your rom again).
Schedules sets a time for backup.
You can set the type of backup you want at a particular time.
Those who frequently change roms check the 4th post for restore and backup.
Backup specific app
Here comes the real use of Titanium Backup. The backup/Restore Part.
Here you will see the list of apps installed in your phone.
First lets see how to backup a single app.
Now tap on the app.
You will see two tabs
1.Backup Properties
2.Special Properties
1.Backup Properties
a. Backup : This will backup your selected app as app+data.
b. Freeze : This will disable the app.
Rest of the things you know from the name
When backup is complete again tap on the app you took backup. You will see a tab Restore and delete of the app.
Select restore you will see 3 options App+Data, App Only , Data Only
App+Data will restore apk as well as data(Data consists of settings,login info in short user defined settings and all you made for that app)
App will restore app only. Data will restore data only.
2.Special Properties
It is made of 4 sections:
1. General
2. Play store/ Market
3. Storage
4. System ROM.
1General Section is easily understandable.(I hope You can)
In general section there is a option named " Send latest backup" you can send to other phone or store it locally and restore(Check 4th post). The backup is stored in .TiBkp
2. Playstore/Market shows the links of the app in playstore.
3. Storage Section is also understanable. In explore it shows the files it uses and the location of files where it is installed with DB)
4. System ROM section can be used to convert a user application app to system app.
In some app you will see "Force remove app" I would suggest dont click on it.
User app is shown in white after you convert it in system app it will become red.
Schedule
Backup all user apps at one click.
There are two ways to backup data.
1st through schedule.
2nd through advanced option(Check the 4th post)
In schedule tab you will see two schedule as default
1. Redo backups for modified data
2. Backup new user apps & newer versions
1.Redo backups for modified data.
What it does is takes the backup of new data of all user apps(Like whatsapp chats,new user settings etc).
2. Backup new user apps & newer versions
This schedule automatically backups the newer versions(Updated version) at a given schedule time.
If you want you can manually run the schedules by just clicking on run. Titanium backup will be minimized. The progress can be seen in notification drawer. After completion it will vibrate.
So now you have taken the backup of all your apps through just one click.
You can add new schedule as you want.
Restore and backup all apps at once and restore your apps from previous roms \.
This is the most advanced part of Titanium Backup.
After installing new rom you will see a warning showing change in android device ID. Details are given in warning messsage.
Now click the option button of you phone.
You will see 7 sections:
1.General
2.Play store/Market
3.Storage
4.Import/Export
5.Special Backup/Restore
6.Your Device

For future use.
Thank you. I've heard of Titanium Backup but never used it. Does backing up use a lot of data?

I think you mean space? Off course buddy backup will take space.. The more you install apps and take backup it will consume space in your card..
Hit thanks buddy that's much needed instead of saying..:thumbup:

I meant data, but after re-reading the article, I realized that the backup is stored on the SD card and not in a cloud. Sorry for the confusion.
hello there
it is safe to remove Samsung Apps such as S Planner, S Voice using "Force remove app" function?

It is safe but make a backup first then remove it. As this are system apps I won't recommend to remove it cz this apps could be associated with other apps which may not work properly if you remove them..

It's OK... I was switching from 4.1 to 4.4. Both os uses different core apps. May be that's why I can't restore the data.

Unable to Restore APKs
Hi all. Hopefully someone can tell me how dense I am for not being able to solve this problem (or whether it's a problem at all). I have an Asus TF700 and recently changed from a stock-based jb custom rom to a cyanogenmod-based kk custom rom. On the old rom I ran the batch bakup all user apps filter, wiped tab from recovery, then installed new rom. TB was already installed on new rom so I just opened it, granted su, enabled USB debugging, and went to batch restore option. All of my app data is available for restore but none of the downloaded user apks themselves are backed up. When I open up the backup properties display for each app it shows Has App: No, Has Data: Yes. I was hoping to batch restore all user apps + data but the only way I can do it now is to install each app individually from the Play Store and then batch restore the data. This has the potential to be a very long process. I don't know if I made a mistake during TB backup or if my new rom/wipe is the problem. I'm hoping someone can point out to me where I went wrong. Any help at all would be appreciated. Thanks.

hi, @a-t0m as you are describing your problem.. I think you are not selecting the proper option..
When you open TB you will see a tab called schedule..
In that select add new schedule.. You will see drop down list..
Tap on the first drop down list.. You will see option of backup all user data. Select it.. Save it.. Manually run it or schedule as you like.. Your apk as well as data will be saved..
Hi, wondering if anyone may have a suggestion. I'm not getting any action restoring a backed up User Dictionary with TB. It seems to create the backup but not restore it. Tried both data and app+data and reboots but still no action. HTC One rooted ARHD 71.1 (4.4.2)

Well you can try is manually take backup..
How? tap on your dictionary app take a backup..
Now restore that only.. See if that helps..
Data not restored?? Tap on the app again.. tap on wipe data.. Now restore data only not app+data or app only..

Yes, it is. These are bloatware, not required by the system to run.
Cloud sync
I have the full version of TIBackup and used the sync feature to have a copy of my backups in my Google Drive account (manual sync, I lauch it every now and then or just when I want to backup a particular app), what does it happen if I want to cancel them from my phone memory (a nexus 5, if it matters)? next time I make a backup and I give the sync command, will it delete those backup files from my cloud too?
I want to keep them only in my google Drive account.
I have been having issues with Titanium for long time across multiple roms. I have pro version. I have it set to keep 3 latest backups and to restore titanium settings automatically. However, when I do a clean install of a rom and I try to restore apps manually the restore button is missing. It shows the date the backup was created and the delete button is on the right but there is no restore button on the left. I can restore backups from Nandroid using Titanium but this takes forever and the backups are not as fresh.
Any help would be a lifesaver!
