Hi,
I have a Galaxy S II since about a week. It is rooted and Titanium Backup (paid version) is installed.
When I deleted an app I didn't want to keep I accidentally deleted the wrong one, something called BadgeProvider. Alas, I have found out that this system app makes it possible to send SMS (maybe more problems that I haven't found out yet) Without it, I can't .
I have tried to reinstall it from Titanium but that doesn't work. I have found the BadgeProvider.apk file on the Internet and trid to install it with several app installers but that doesn't work either.
I do need to send and receive SMS. How do I get a functional smartphone again?
I do badly need help
Thanks
Well, I would recommend you move the Titanium Backup File onto different storage, than factory reset the phone. If you've only had it a week I don't imagine you are going to lose too much, especially if you are already backed up. May take a little bit to re-root and restore and everything but, it's better than trial and error/waiting for a specific solution.

I have a general question about the AT&T apps that I uninstalled via Titanium Backup. I used Titanium Backup to first backup and then uninstall all the AT&T bloatware apps. I thought the purpose of backing them up first was so they could be reinstalled at some point. But now I find out that the backups made by titanium backup are basically worthless since I uninstalled the original apps. Now I have to try and find the apk files for all those apps if I want to reinstall them.
Is all this correct? Or is there some way to reinstall from the backup files that were saved. If not, what would be the purpose of backing them up first?
On a "normal" android device, Titanium Backup works perfectly to backup your apps and system data. But on a locked down AT&T device its only really good for removing apps after you root the phone. There is a fix that lets you install 3rd party apps but I'm not sure if that includes factory apps (my guess would be no). On a regular Android phone you can download files in your phones browser and use a program like Astro file manager to find them and install them from your SD card. So we are basically waiting for custom roms and hacks to give us the most basic Android functionality. Not cool.
Yes, I know about the AT&T lock down, and I have done the settings.db mod to get non market apps to install.
I guess my question was more about titanium backup. On several threads in here about removing AT&T bloatware using titanium they always said "make sure you back them up before uninstalling them." So I did back them up. I was thinking that the backup was so after we uninstall them, we could later re-install them if we changed our minds. But this is not the case. If you back them up, then use titanium backup to uninstall them, the backups are worthless. The only way to reinstall them is to find the apk file and then reinstall them that way.
So whats the use of backing them up before uninstalling them? And where can we find the apk's for reinstalling them if we need to return our phone for servicing? All of this should have been discussed before offering directions on how to get the bloatware off. I'm pretty new to android so I had no clue that once gone you can't get those apps back. Thats all I was saying; wondering if that is correct.
really? i had no idea, ill fix the guides.

I dont know what the current guides say, I got my captivate on the 18th and there were several threads then about how to use Ti-backup to remove bloatware.
Its not the end of the world, the full one-click odin flash back to stock is available.
I was just rooting around inside the .tar.gz files that titanium backup creates last night. Discovered that there's no apk file hidden in there. Got me wondering whats the sense in backing up before uninstalling since now those backups are good for nothing. When I go into Ti-backup now and go to restore, the att apps are gone completely from the list.
I think people were just saying to do a backup because thats what they were used to doing on other devices. It may be able to restore everything once a custom Captivate rom comes out. You could try asking all the guys that flashed the i-9000 roms if they had any luck with it. I used it to delete wallpapers and such that were stock on my nexus one and it saved them....but my Nexus didn't have any bloatware to delete and restore so....

Yea, I've downloaded the Odin 1-click factory restore thing and got it saved on my computer just in case.
I'm ready for some custom ROMs, I've thought about trying putting that I-9000 ROM on my phone, but it seems like a lot of work for little or no gain. I've got my phone rooted, did the settings.db mod, uninstalled all the att bloatware, got launcher pro on it; so it runs pretty well. I dont really see a need to put the I-9000 2.1 rom on it, with how much trouble it is to get on. Now if it was 2.2 or if it fixed the crappy GPS I'd jump all over it.

If you do a backup & then uninstall, it's not gone from the list. You can find them at the bottom of the list.
From what OP is saying im guessing TB isn't letting people restore from a backup?
I'm the type who waits for something to be tested and proven before I'll try it lol. My phone runs well enough and I'm not willing to risk crashing my daily driver. I think the headaches just aren't worth it. But I am grateful to all the other guys in these forums dealing with those headaches so they can try new things and learn more about our phones. Eventually they'll get it....and I'll read a forum post about a total noob (even worst than me) installing a rom or fix effortlessly on the first try...and I'll jump right on it lol. I'm not going near the i-9000 stuff for now...no proven gains and so far every version has lost functionality somewhere along the line....but it makes for good reading

You're right, the uninstalled programs still show up at the bottom of the list, but if you click on it, the options are Backup, Freeze, Uninstall (dont know why, because its already been uninstalled). There is no restore or re-install.
That was my point, Ti-backup lets you uninstall an app, but it wont reinstall it from a backup that you make using it.
I backed up all the crapware just as advised. But now I cant reinstall them using TB. Please devs help us what happened to our TB crapware backups. I need them to update the phone. That seems the only way the jh7 would install

It seems to me that there are a lot of bugs in the Captivate, even with the new GPS Update available. I have held off buying the Captivate (I want it alot!).
So I watch these and other boards to see when AT&T comes out with a Captivate that actually works to most everyone's satisfaction. (I am struggling to keep my Tilt ! alive for a little longer.)
Keep up the great work you first adopters. Its valuable to guys like me who are second adopters!
Thanks,

I flashed my GT recently (GB rom ) and had to re-install and pay for titanium backup pro (again ) in order to restore my apps.
I've checked around and most guide tutorials start with the assumption that you'll access the app easily after flashing. When faced with a wiped tab, how do I quickly access titanium?

You have save the APK files on your sdcard or install it through the market again.
You won't have to ( and can not) buy an app two times, if you had previously bought it.
Purchases are not lost.
thanks
Thank you. Must have gotten Tit back up from another source. I, like you was surprised when I had to buy it.
My device:
I have a 7" iDeaUSA YG A777 Android Tablet that is rooted. The version of Android it is running is 4.0.3. The kernel on the device is 3.0.8-tcc [email protected] #97.
My problem:
When I try to back up my device using the MyBackup app, the device reboots in the middle of the backup. When I attempt another back up after the reboot, I get the same results. I've tried uninstalling and re-installing the app, but that doesn't work. Clearing the app's cache doesn't work, either. I also tried doing a factory reset and restoring everything manually, but that also didn't work. I read a few posts that suggested that the SD card or USB flash drive might be the cause, but that isn't the case (at least in regards to my situation) because the same thing happens when I try to back up online to MyBackup's database with no SD card or USB flash drive attached.
I also tried using Titanium Backup ★ root, but I got the exact same results as I did with MyBackup, so the problem isn't app specific. One thing that did work was not allowing root access to MyBackup. When that is denied, I can back up my device as many times as I want. However, since MyBackup has been denied root access, it can only back up the apps on my device, not the data that accompanies those apps. That's a problem because the main reason that I'm backing up my device is to back up the apps on my device AND its data.
I've been at this for three days. During that time, going through all of the steps that I've listed here has made the backup go through completely without rebooting once or twice, but the reboot problem persists more often than not. I’m out of ideas to try. Any suggestions would be helpful.
I finally figured out what the problem was. I mentioned in my first post that I used Titanium Backup and got the same results as I did with MyBackup Pro. However, when I used Titanium Backup, MyBackup Pro was still granted root privileges. I think when Titanium Backup got to the MyBackup Pro app to back it up, it activated something with the app that was causing it to reboot my tablet. In other words, what I did to fix my problem was I denied root privileges to MyBackup Pro and Titanium Backup now works fine and produces a successful backup everytime. So, MyBackup Pro was the problem.
Can You help, do use the 4.0.3?
How do you Root?
I would like change firmware to 4.1 to ....

I do use 4.0.3. However, rooting a device depends on the brand of the device. For example, the process to root a Google Nexus tablet might be different than the process to root a Samsung Galaxy tablet. What you should do is put your phone or tablet's brand into a Google search engine and then add "root" to the search query (Ex: "Google Nexus 7 root").

You should always read learn about these stuff, before do anything.
You rooted the stock rom, you deleted system apps and now you've got these problems..
What apps did you delete?
What app did you use to remove apps?
Did you make a backup of your original rom before the root? If not: bad! You should always do it!
Did you have a backup of the apps you deleted?
You should never remove system apps... But you can still freeze them with Titanium Backup or Link2SD, so if something is not working you can still un-freeze them.
Also, you should not use tools like uniflash, if it is NOT tested with your phone.
Try to go to a Vodafone shop, and say them that your phone is not working well, and you don't know why... maybe they will just change it even if it's rooted.
OR you can go here http:/ /roeddie. blogspot. it/ p/ vodafone-smart-ii-alcatel-v860.html and download AiO Fastboot, which includes: drivers, recovery, custom rom. It will auto-flash the recovery and the roeddie's custom rom. View the HELP file before starting flashing the rom!
Here I put the direct link for you

Thanks for those replies, I did make a backup but it was on my previous PC before it decided to break!!...so new computer minus backup ...lol everything I have is breaking
I have deleted all Vodafone crap except Vodafone updates, with root explorer...thing is...it was receiving calls after I deleted these apps..then suddenly it wasn't...the phone always had the delayed call answer problem that so many others have had with the firmware on this phone, so i installed the call delay patch from app market... I can make phone calls, send and receive texts but not receive calls...very strange!!....so I suppose I'll go with the custom rom ....
I'll let you know how I do with it....by the way you mention "backup"...but has no one else go one i could use?
cheers:good:
Hi
Recently I decided that my almost rusty galaxy note 2 is running too slow and I installed cyagenomod14. I backed up all my data using Wondershare Tunesgo and installed new OS. Everything went great until i tried to restore my contacts. TunesGo asked me to pay 35$ for getting my info back! I have no memory of warnings that i can not restore data without buying full version (if it were i'd get different program, or hell even just written contacts down and put them back in manually). Tunesgo created .bak file that can be opened with no problem by 7-zip, though i can't extract anything becouse it is password protected. Is there any way i can get through it? I know this password have to be somewhere in the program, I'd guess maybe i could read it from memory after selecting bak file (it then scans and shows how many files are in backup). I don't need this program to restore my data, i just want to get to it.
I'd appreciate any guidence/tips!

Greetings and welcome to assist. Unfortunately we can't help you with password cracking as that would be illegal. Have you checked to see if your contacts are backed up with your google account ? Whatever contacts you add to your google account are automatically restored on any device you sign into. There are also free apps like SMS backup&restore that will back up calls/sms/contacts and restore for free
Good Luck
