Titanium backup question - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all.
Has anyone noticed that you can't restore a backup of a Google app with titanium backup. It stays stuck at "restoring".
All other non Google apps restores properly.

I have used restore all system data, and it worked fine

Hmmm, maybe it is this ROM.

[Q] MIUI FC issues on nexus s amoled

I have a weird issue that may have occurred to others but could not find on the forum. I flashed the rom and English pack. Restored my apps through titanium. Everything runs smooth until I reboot and get bombarded with FC messages about something .media and something. .score. the phone becomes unusable and I am forces to reflash. Can someone help me out a bit?
Try running fix permissions, via rom manager or CW recovery.
I've been using miui for quite a while without any issues - did you wipe everything before installing the rom.

Yes I have tried fixing permission and wiped everything. I thought it might have something to do with titanium restoring something from 2.3.3?

I'm not sure about that one as I seldom use titanium. The only thing I can think of with titanium is did you restore system settings? You should only restore the apk&data (ie 'restore all apps with data')

Yup I deselected all the system restore files and only restored my apps and data...

Titanium backup

Does anyone know if there is an ICS rom that I can use titanium backup, or am I the only one with that problem. It doesn't let me backup or restore?

It worked for me when I try them.

when you say it wont let you restore what happens when you try? I use titanium on ICS all the time, only thing you have to be careful of is restoring apps that aren't compatible with ICS. doing so usually results in a bootloop.
I think what regp was trying to say above me is don't backup and restore "system apps" only "user apps"
Also if it wont do anything for you make sure you have root access and try updating titanium backup.
If both those methods don't help go into settings>applications>manage applications "clear data" for titanium backup
Pin it to Win it.
what I'm saying is there are apps that are not compatible with android 4.0. if you restore any of those apps your phone will bootloop even if you restore without the data.
The apps I try to restore are as simple as dolphin browser or like kik. It will say restoring, but then after that it wont prompt me to install or anything it will just say done and then nothing. I wont have the app installed?

I had this problem before. Go into TB and go to preferences then scroll down until you get to app processing mode then try all of those options since I don't remember which option is right.
If I helped you, please donate if you can so I can continue helping you guys!

It was weird..I did the apps and data restore from titanium back up and lost all SMS and contacts..help!!

Shouldnt ur contacts be backed up with gmail?
Did u do a backup in cwm? If so just restore and back up sms then reflash cm10

You cannot restore system apps from touchwiz via titanium backup. TW and AOSP roms are very different. You can restore apps only and xml backups such as SMS and call log but you need to do those individually. Try reflashing CM10 after wiping the big Three (like you're flashing for the first time) and restore Apps only. Everything should work again. If you need to back up your call log and sms again restore your nandroid and backup before reflashing.
thank you! those work again. and somehow when i reflashed and rebooted the apps started downloading by itself all again from the play store..just one more question, if i update from 9/20 build of CM to 9/21 then would i have to back up again??

It's always a good idea to backup

[Q] ICS to CM10 Trouble

I have installed cm10 for my Skyrocket from official ICS update. I can not get my contacts which I backed up using titanium backup without screwing up the entire system requiring me to reset it. I suppose it is because it is not in the same format as ICS. Has anyone had this problem and can help me?
Nobody can help you here. Go to the skyrocket forums

Have Google backup your contacts prior to installing cm10. When you try to restore your contacts with tibu are you restoring anything else? Tibu doesn't always work very well and I don't have it restore anything when flashing different roms.

I had some similar challenges and jd's advice (above) was helpful.
Question: are you using the basic contacts in the stock system or an app?
When I went through this I found that restoring wholesale with Titanium was NOT the right way to go.
As mentioned above, if you are using stock then you should mostly just restore manually - through Google backup or Play, after flashing the new ROM. There isnt much you need to restore through Titanium. I used it to restore my launcher with its configuration and my email/contacts/calendar, which were not being managed by stock/google. But thats it.
