I copied my Ti BU from my Captivate, and ran it on my Infuse. Seems like everything to do with google: email, messaging, etc. force closes. any ideas?
Did you restore system data? If your coming from another phone etc you can only restore missing Apps with data and nothing else. It should work fine I just moved from an htc inspire and have had no problem using my restored Apps

wouldnt it be good idea to make a sticky about the fact that titanium backup causes more problems than its good for,most of the posts i have read about probs have one thing in common they all tried to restore a titanium back up now this wont work and that fc's or it just wont stop rebooting, factory reset and flash seems to always work and if ya.want a different kernel let it boot one time then install the kernel,naturally after you wiped cache and delvik again. those two ways always seem to work

Never, ever restore system data. I bet if everyone that had a problem only hit "restore missing user apps" there wouldn't be a problem.

Titanium backup rarely causes problems unless you restore system apps. Tibu is one of the most useful apps in the market, I would never discourage anyone from using it. It's especially helpful to have backups of an app that gets updated & then you find out the update breaks something or removes a good feature.

restore missing apps and app data ONLY...never had a single problem the only system data i restore is the HTC desktop so i don't have to reconfigure my home screens...works like a charm
No problems here. You just have to be smart about what you restore. There is no "one click" method.
I think we are looking at user error ... but blame the software if you must.
As others have pointed out, I've never had an issue with Titanium Backup. Great software! Just do not restore system apps + data.

Ha, ditto.
Can we ditch rom manager or do you have to have it installed for CWR?
now if only there was something for unrooted phones to backup before they root so they could avoid that initial loss

I have had a problem with titanium backup, but it might be a setting. I restored using Titanium Backup from my Droid Incredible with no apparent issues to my 1st Thunderbolt. I did a backup w/ both Titanium and MybackupPro before swapping out my Thunderbolts. I always backup twice on my phones in case something goes wrong. Oh FYI it did go wrong before I returned the Thunderbolt I copied the MyBackup, but forgot the Titanium data. This is why i always double my efforts as I always forget something.
On my 2nd Thunderbolt I started to restore MyBackupPro data after unchecking everything that was a system app. I never looked into how to have MyBackupPro only copy user apps+data since I discovered Titanium. As soon as I went into Market Place multiple app updates downloaded.
For reasons that I am not sure why I decided to do it I did a hard reset to factory defaults. I copied my incredible data back over to the 2nd Thunderbolt and did a restore. None of the apps required updating from an older backup. I'm just wondering if something didn't restore correctly to market?

Thats funny because I was just reading that thread thinking "where the hell did my post go"?
This may be a dumb question, but should you let apps download automatically after a wipe / new Rom install, and then have TB restore some apps with user data I need? Or is it better the skip the automatic download altogether and restore everything through TB? Thanks!

I'm stock and rooted. Used ROM manager to install CWR, then Titanium Pro to uninstall ROM.

The only issue I have had with titanium backup is that when I went to restore my apps and their data it did not seem to restore any of the data, just the apps. I was a little discouraged at first but then figured maybe the original location on my old droid X might have been different then where it is on the Thunderbolt. I doubt it but that's what I keep telling myself since the app data won't restore.
Recently had problems with restoring app data as well...hmmm... In my case it is probably user error.
Without Titanium Backup, I would not be as willing to try new ROMs. As with all things relating to rooting and flashing custom ROMs, you have to learn how to use the tools and understand their limitations.

I've had the same problem when moving to a GB-based ROM. So what is this "user error" that we're committing?

It's up to you really but that's how I do it. Just restore the data to apps that need that data and you can restore apps that didn't D/l from market and Ti will link them to the market so you'll still get updates.
I have no problem with TiBackup restoring data. When I move to GB ROMs (maybe that's just coincidence) Ti 'forgets' my settings so I have to setup my custom labels and scheduled backups again. I used to backup and restore texts (which is system data) but since switching between Froyo and Gingerbread ROMs I've gotten a separate app to do that if I want to take my SMS/MMS to my new ROM. Never backup/restore system data. I wish there was a way to exclude system data in TiBackup without also excluding uninstalled.
Is there a way to convert stock Froyo to Gingerbread? I'm trying to convince my wife to upgrade simply for the battery life but she doesn't want to lose her settings or apps... I'm on Valhalla myself but I did a clean flash....

U can always use titanium backup. Its on the market for free and it backs up all your apps and data and then u download the app after a clean install and then u can restore them. But u have to be rooted

When restoring from titanium backup, does it restore installed apps?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
+1 for Titanium backup. Just make sure you only back up user apps and not user apps + system data. The system data from Froyo will not play nice on a GB rom.
Unfortunately, Titanium Backup is the only way. Just be sure to backup only user apps. When you restore, restore user apps and data.
Do not use a Froyo backup in CWM to advanced restore data, since that will mess up some important functions on GB.
Thanks, I'll try that... by the way, can you use a titanium backup pro license on 2 phones? No biggie, since I have a pro licence... otherwise I'll be getting another licence...
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
you can use it on two phones, if they are on the same google account.
there IS a way around this, so PM me and I will be happy to share.
Pro version of TB isn't needed if you are just backing up and restoring apps. The free version works fine for that.
Hmmm...I think I made a mistake...
After reading this I believe I made a mistake. I just flashed from Froyo to GB (Valhalla Black) and before doing so did a TB with apps & system data. Is there a way to recreate the 'accounts and sync' from my back up...it seems to FC when I try to access anything 'account' related. :/

Raver has said he did not include accounts and sync in his ROM. You can pull the .apk from another ROM and push it into your system. You may try this and see if it fixes your problem.
I upgraded my MIUI rom to 2.2.17 and wanted to restore my apps using tb donate version. When I go to batch restore, a force close box pops up every time. I've already done a fresh wipe, fixed permissions, and installed busybox from the problems tab on tb, but none of them worked. Any solutions?
1. Is it a clean install of ROM?
2. Are you restoring only missing apps and data?

Is the root on for your MIUI...believe in the settings you have to turn it on, that would keep TB from working correctly.
I purchased the key via the market...best $$ spent, When ever I put a fresh ROM on, I install TB & key, and then reinstall my "apps only" not apps with data.
Titanium Backup
I plunked down the $$$ for the paid version. Never had any problems with the app.
I do know that when coming from a Froyo based Rom (or stock) to a GB based ROM you aren't supposed to restore apps and data. Just apps.
The one issue I've had with TB is that even though I restore all my apps, and they work fine, the apps are now disconnected from the Android market. Meaning the market no longer thinks I have them installed on my phone. Won't receive any updates when that is the case. I even tried the Market tools within the app. Those didn't resolve the issue.
I went from Stock Froyo to Infused 2.2.3 to Zeus v5. In both cases, I had to manually re-install my apps on the market. Not a huge deal, but an inconvenience.

There is an option is TiBu that allows you to attach the app to market. Try using it. It should solve your issue. It works for me for certain apps like dropbox and google voice that I don't want to upgrade. Turned it back on for google voice recently and it worked.

One thing you can try - uninstall tibu (both paid & free) then reinstall in order - free, then key. I've had issues where app "keys" seem to get installed first and the app won't wort properly.

New G2x owner. Flashed Weapon 3.0, followed all steps correctly. All is good...EXCEPT when I restore dialer storage with Titanium Backup to get all my SMSs. Immediately after doing this, I get the dreaded "sorry, the application com.android.phone stopped unexpectedly" message loop, over and over and over again. I thought there could be a conflict with my Google synced contacts (that TB was trying to restore contacts that were already there) but I tried restoring the dialer storage with my contacts empty, and still got the message. Only way out of it is to use CWM and try over again.
Any ideas? Many thanks.

Did that first. Restored a handful of my user apps, then began restoring system/data one by one. That's how I knew what was causing the problem.

So, any other way to restore MMSs besides TB? It's not the most important backup, but still. Mainly I'm interested in what's causing that problem to avoid more problems like that down the road.
My Backup Root. It's good for backing up contacts and sms/mms and more.

You could also try SMS Backup and restore from the Play Store. It is free. You should never restore any system apps and data when changing Roms. They don't play well together.
Or use GoSMS. Its what I use, and it gives you the option to email yourself the file. Also can make the apply backup automatically, every week or so.

Some apps are not working properly for me, such as snapchat crashing unexpectedly whenever I try to login. Other messaging apps seem to be acting weird as well. Text messaging works fine. Wifi and 4g work fine as well. I'm using beanstalk 4.4 right now
I have already tried:
-Clearing snapchat data/cache, force stopping it, reinstalling it
-restoring my rom to a backup that I know was working
-Doing a full factory reset and data format and reinstalling my rom
-Installing other roms
I can't figure out what's going on here. The app keeps crashing unexpectedly whenever I try to log in.
Anyone?
