Problems with Titanium Backup's "Integrate system app updates into ROM" feature.

Problems with Titanium Backup's "Integrate system app updates into ROM" feature.
I searched, but didn't find any documentation on this feature, so I did the adventurous thing and tried it out. It's supposed to replace the system apps in the ROM with the updated apk, therefore saving space in the system memory. But after the batch finished, all of the updated apps were completely gone...the originals AND the updates were deleted. Since there isn't a way to "undo" this function, I had to reflash the ROM. Does anyone know more about this option? Does it work with any ROM?

I faced the same probs. But here is a few tips to get back your app:
1. Use titanium backup, run Batch, uninstall those apps that you have moved to ROM (which already highlighted in Red)
2. Find install apks for those apps in Google, reinstall it
3. Reboot your device
4. All app icons have back
Have fun, mate!!

I had the same problem; with the Android Market app disappeared. I have tried to re-install it the way you suggest, but the app stops working when I start any download from the market. Even reset the phone to factory settings, but I have the same problem. Any clue?
Thanks!!!

I just did a hot restart and it was fine for me.

I was having a similar problem with my Galaxy Note on ICS 4.04.
Whenever I tried to integrate the Play Store it would delete both the update and the old app and I would have to reinstall the APK.
I also noticed recently that a few other updates that appeared to be integrated successfully reappeared in the list of available updates to integrate, like they reverted to user apps after a reboot?
What finally fixed it for me was selecting the option in Titanium Backup Pro *Menu; Preferences; Advanced Settings; Check the box "Auto-integrate sys Dalvik into"
I then did a backup of my launcher app, long pressed on the backup and selected "Convert to System App", then single pressed on the app backup, selected restore then selected app data only"
It prompted me to reboot, after reboot when I checked the"batch, integrate updates into system ROM" all the apps which I was having problems with had disappeared from the list, and appear to be integrated now.
I don't know if it was the reboot or enabling the option in Titanium Backup, but something changed.

I have some problems also
I used Titanium mainly to integrate the updates into rom in my previous htc sensation and in my galaxy s3 and it worked fine with them. Now it does not work properly with my galaxy s4. After the integration some apps crash, Chrome, Dropbox. Some of them only delete the update and leave the old one in rom. If I go to google play the update is there to be installed again or some apps just prompt for the update when opened. I sent an email to the developer but I have not response. I have used it successfully in my previous phones but it is not working in this one. Any help is appreciated.

Yep, I'm having this exact problem. First the apps didn't show up, so I performed a hot restart. They're all back now, but Dropbox, Chrome, G+ and others that were integrated are all crashing now.
I imagine it's mostly to so with new security features with the S4. If you're using an S4 please stay away from this feature until it's officially recognised as an issue by the TitaniumBackup developer. I'll reflash PDA shortly and report back if that resolves the problem.

I did reflash the phone with the stock firmware and everithing is good. I have tried some apps but it did not work. I just leave them there until titanium backup is updated. This is the most used feature for me and now is not working.

Sorry, I have been busy to come back. Well, some work, others no. Chrome did not work but I did google Maps, google play, and several other updates. I did not mess with ChatOn since if something goes wrong it could break S voice and S translator. I just did now Google music and Flipboard. Usually I have to reboot in order to have the shortcut in the apps or to fix the name of them. For example, after integrate flipboard is in the drawer with the name and no icon, it launched fine, google music was fine and worked fine. After reboot the icon came back. The only problem is that if does not work then I have to convert the system app to user in order to make it work. Yesterday I converted the jelly bean photosphere camera to system and it was converted but did not work. It force close, then I tried to converted to user app and it took a long time and just was frozen there. I stopped TB but the camera disapear from the drawer, since rebooting fix the icon or name problem, I did it. My phone did not pass the samsung galaxy logo on boot. It was just a black screen after the logo and pressing the power button did not power on or off when I pressed, only when I released. Lucky me that I did a NAND backup before this process and still I could access download mode and the CWM which I used to restore my phone with the backup in my external card. After everything was as before I started. Now I will be more careful when I do this doing a backup before starting.
Samsung Link update integration did not work, force close. Samsung Hub worked but when press the back button to close then force close. Group play seems to work since it opens and go to the start page and no problem when I press the back button.

Still having same problem
Several programs quit working after converting apps to rom. I couldn't get them to work and finally put the locked rom back in, then unlocked it again. I have a verizon galaxy s4 me7 sch-I545 and the update didn't help here.

i want to know if i do this method, does the phone memory will get smaller if i do this again if the system apps getting new update?

hey there,
i have to grab out this thread because i have problems too. almost every app i integrate into system rom force closes, when i try to start it.
even chmod a+x didn't make it better (but the other apps in /system/app are not executable, so this had no sense).
i'm using the latest cm11 nightly for the motorola photon q. is there a known solution?

I have the same issue with this function as rdefranx.
After the integrate process, all updates are fine and i have the old versions again which i have to update. Repeated the process with single apps with showing same results again.
I also sent an so to the developer, but that's a shame: You never ever get an answer if you have a problem with titanium backup.
The app is good and helped me a lot. But shame on the non existing support. Really disappointing and unprofessional. Oh yes: i paid for the app. Thank you.

Hi, I just quit using his feature. I don't know if will work with my note 3 because I don't want to have problems. I will be subscribing to this thread in case a solution is found.

Also happened to me 4 days ago using a Moto X. Except for me it also deleted the Google keyboard & play store among others.
So I was left with no keyboard to type with and no play store to download from. After a factory rest it meant that by having no keyboard I couldn't even type anything on my phone to create a google account to restore the aps & Keyboard with. I had to reflash the whole rom again, and will stay clear of integrating the apks. I did this 4 days ago, so i'm not sure if titanium has updated since then.

Same problem with me. LG G2 Mini Official KK4.4.2 rooted, after Integrating system apps in ROM almost all of them crashing. Don't think that has to do with titanium, but with the android version. I used tha feature on my old LG P350 (stock rom+cm) and worked perfectly. But now in kitkat is messing up. Btw i'm using the latest version of titanium pro

I tried what you recommended, and i fixed permissions using rom manager, and plus i restarted and i tried installing them again,
Same issue
is there a way to get all of the htc widgets in a package for HTC Thunderbolt so i can manually install them myself using a move command or something via file manager?

Weird, I know I had this issue and I just flashed a rom to fix it. Did you try using plain jane?

nope, Im going to just try and find the a HTC widget pack...
when i download the HTC widget i want, IT downloads, but right afterwards just won't install like it just fades away..
If anyone can give detail instructions how to install HTC widget pack manually using a "move command" or some way to install it Let me know

Usually Fixing Permissions solves this issue. Try google for an APK for the file you want to install, see if that works.

actually,fixing permissions started back in the day to fix issues with AOSP roms and is not really reccomended for sense roms. running it may be doing more harm than good.
id try wiping cache/dalvik cache and reflashing the rom your running. not doing a data wipe will preserve your settings and data. if that doesnt help,then id try a completely fresh install(wipe data/dalvik/cache)
and if youre using rom manager,try it in recovery instead. rom manager is problematic aND unreliable,IMO.

I posted a topic about this about a week ago after installing MR2. There is an issue with Google recognizing and updating your info that is in some way related to the 4G SIM.
I kid you not....this is how to fix it...... It has happened to me twice the last week as I got an AE.
1. Wait. No matter what I did, it seemed to never "Come back" until about 48 hrs.
2. Clear the Market cache and data
3. Stop the market service
4. Sing into and out of Google talk like you are on OCD.
Pissed the second day I had this happened, I was sitting at a bar listening to some girl go on and on about something so I started signing in and out of Google talk like 14 - 16 times....... Opened the market...no problem!
For "Must have apps, go to the online market place via your computer and push them to your phone. That always worked for me no matter what. Good luck!

[Q] Accidently deleted the launcher on 2.2

I accidentally deleted my launcher application while messing around in Titanium backup. My phone was getting hung up on the Samsung boot screen when I tried to restart it. I have now tried a factory reset, and the phone now boots to a black screen, I can receive calls and texts but can't access anything manually. I tried installing from the web market but that is not working. Does anyone have any suggestions? Much appreciated....I am desperate.
Edit: Also I can't mount my phone for some reason x_x

If you do a hard reset, you can restore the whole system. Deleting the launcher while booted in Android won't delete anything from the ROM and can be restored that way. But if you don't mind using a different launcher, you can load an apk of your desired launcher on the card and then find a way to get into any screen that will let you get to a file manager. Then you can install the launcher from the apk you loaded on the card. Mess around with the buttons and see if you can't pull up any screen that will eventually get to a file manager.

I did a hard reset, but now it has the same problem - no launcher. It is just a black screen. I played around with it for a long while before coming here trying to figure out any way to get into any menus etc...but nothing.

If you had your device in debugging mode, then you can always download an alternative launcher such as launcherpro on your computer, put it in your platform tools directory and install it through adb. If you need further help with this post your comments and I will read them later and reply.

P.s. if this helped press the thanks button

hard reset doesn't fix apps in system partition, so you can't restore without adb to push a new launcher.

Is the phone rooted?
Do you have a custom kernel with CWM recovery?
If you do, you should be able to install the launcher using cwm.
There's a specific forum for your phone in XDA. You might find answers there to.

Had same problem, now fixed
Although I have a g2x and I'm running a 2.3.4 rom, this should still work. I did the same exact thing to my phone. I had my wife send me an email (gmail) with a link to google in it. When I recieved the notification, I swiped down, opened email, clicked link, then searched "Go Launcher EX apk download". Once I found a good download for this launcher and downloaded it, I was good to use my phone again. Piece of cake

Hey i'm a noobie but i have a 100% way on how to fix your problem i was once too in that situation and all i did was enter recovery mode (no cwm/twrp) factory reset 2x, clear cache 2x and "Rebooted" When i was in setup wizard it asked me to set up my gmail account. Wifi is recommended but 3G/4G is also fine. If on wifi it will not connect to google servers but instead give you the option to connect to wifi. Connect to your wifi and finish the setup. When your at the black screen you should get a notification for updates on the play store. Tap on it and it SHOULD take you to the play store. After that search the desired launcher you want. (ADW Launcher, LauncherPro, Go Locker etc.

No download button in android market?

recently some apps do not have a download button in the market but others do. ive uninstalled the update to market hoping that would do something but no avail. and ideas?

try clearing data and cache.
can you still download these apps from market.android.com? are these apps compatible with your phone?
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA Premium App

im not entirly sure what wiping data encompasses. i have wiped cache, same problem, and unless facebook suddenly dropped 2.3 for support, my phone can support it. ive had it installed before.
update: i tryed installing facebook from the site, it says its unsupported. i havent changed roms since last time i installed it. :/

I have the same thing, I cleaned market cache but that did not work.
I tried to install Goweather, I had it installed via a APK file I downloaded.
And found that there was a Update but in the market the Update did not showup. I was using 1.9.8 and in the markted there now is version 1.9.9
1.9.9 showed up as installed (not so because I have 1.9.8) So I uninstalled 1.9.8 and wanted to install 1.9.9 But no download button.
So I tried to install it via Web market and there it says device not supported..
Weird..

I have the same problem, it says that my device is unsupported.
Have the problem since I downgraded from cm7 to cm6 on my milestone.
Clearing cache and app-data didn't help
I had a nandroid and could extract many apps that market says are unsupported and all of them work.

Sounds like the version your running isn't compatible with the app. Can you list a couple of the apps that you get the download link and a couple apps where you don't?

primarily maps and facebook to not work. its a growing suspission that its my lcd density variable in my build.prop that i changed to make smaller on my screen. i verified that the rest of the file is the same.
chompsms as well doesnt but it seems that many of the games work

another update, build.prop doesnt seem to be affecting it

Have you tried APbrain or another pseudo market. APBrain has a instant downloader. Just sayin.

.... that doesn't seem to work for anybody
I've got absolutely no clue what's causing this but the release notes of the most recent CM7 version for my Optimus One P500 mentioned that this has been fixed. I'm not sure if this is specific to the P500 version, but if it isn't, then upgrading to the most recent CM7 version might help. In any case, looking through the commit log should tell you what the fix actually was and allow you to apply it to your version.

truthfully ide like to stick with google market. as much as fixing the phone and such so the check can go through, its moreso fixing symptoms than the problem(a descussion for another day)
ive been using cm7 nightly 144 for a while now. im not entirely sure if the new market is the problem or the nihtly. anyone else have any details on it?

Sometimes it happens if DPI is changed.
Transmitted from a Galaxy far far away via XDA telepathy.

Screen resolution was the culprit for me. Changed to default, clear market data/cache, go to market, download, change resolution back. Stock, rooted rom, nexus s 4g.

I had that problem too on my tattoo, i just backup only market (NO Data app) with titanium then wiped cache, and restored and it work again.

Cannot update sucessfully to anything

Software version 1.46.498.1 Android 2.3.4 Sensation 4G Rooted S-off HBoot 1.18.0003
First I tried flashing some roms with Jelly bean - Things seemed to go OK then after startup screen it freezes then reboots on the "instruction screen" it reboots to the desktop and the app button will pull up icons ,then freezes and reboots. I tried some different roms in different versions of android and the exact thing keeps happening. I looked everywhere but couldn't find the answer to if I need to have the same android firmware version on my phone as the rom I was trying to flash. I tried to install 4.0 but it did the exact same thing the same way. All attempts to upgrade in any way have failed.
I have tried full wipe,wiping cache & delvin cache. I have tried not doing that & all the same. I have a nandroid backup thank goodness that I have reinstalled 20 times trying to get anything to work.
Solution found: Flashed CM 9 and the google app. No titanium backup. I installed it but no Icon.

Still trying
I put PG58IMG.zip on my SD, ran bootloader and it readsG58IMG.zip No image file

Try to clear settings for titanium backup, uninstall it and install it again.Restart your Launcher and clear your Launcher settings if it is necessary.Check if the app is frozen or you have hide it from your Launcher.
Inform us if it helps you!
**Before you post try to reboot your device.If you had it installed on your system partition reboot into recovery and clean your dalvik-cache / It would be nice to clean your cache partition too**

I only see a couple options for the launcher and showing/not showing icons isn't one of them. It says pro key installed but can't start it. Under app management all fields are darkened except uninstall.
Funny, the unpaid version works fine.

The "Titanium Backup PRO Key" for titanium backup is a key that unlocks the free version of the application to pro version.So it is natural the "Titanium Backup PRO Key" has no data to clean!You have to install the free version first!

Hmm
I'll try that. Makes sense. I don't see yet how to "link"them
