I followed the instructions to root the phone here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300
I installed Titanium Backup (free version) and made sure it has root permissions. So far, so good...
In TB, I go to Backup/Restore, select "Force remove app (by recovery exploit)", YES and the phone reboots. However, I end up with a "triangle & android robot" and the only way to reboot the phone is to remove the battery.
Could someone give me a link to a working solution?
I have an HTC Sensation XE - just got today and I want to remove Facebook, Flicker, and Twitter.
Thanks

don't do that step, that's old and for temp method when you dont have s-off,
best way to do it is, go to titanuim backup and select the facebook app, and it should have uninstall option click on that and it will remove the app or you can remove it via adb, make sure you are rooted

HUH?
The guide I followed is called: [Guide] to Installing S-off, Unlocking, ClockWork, Root, SuperCID & S-on.
The app I tried to use is Titanium Backup (free version).
As far as I'm aware, Facebook is not a system requirement so can be uninstalled via the applications menu or via the market. Same with twitter. Titanium backup pro gives the option to freeze also. Thepirato is right - you should use titanium to first make a back up of all your applications and then uninstall by long pressing on the app.

Be very careful removing apps like twitter - as sense can often FC as a result.
you could use any root explorer app and go into system/app/ and delete but im pretty sure facebook isnt a system app

I deleted facebook & facebook-chat with " Root Unistaller ", works perfekt for me.
Fyi in tb press menu and then batch scroll to uninstall deselect all and then scroll the list ticking any bloatware you don't want, i delete locations (laputa) fb watch dock mode twitter etc then it removes the all at once very quickly, always reboot after to clear cache

Can you please explain why?
After removing those useless apps, my Sense is running smooth as earlier though.
I always removed a lot of apps with Titanium Backup after i flashed a new ROM.
I remove Facebook, Flicker, HTC Like, HTC Hub, Mail (i use Enhanced Email) Music live wallpaper, Car Home, Internet/Bookmarks (i Use DolphinBrowser), Bookshelf, Stock and News, Twitter, Friends Stream and many widgets.
I never had any problems becaus of that.
But remember to take a Nandroid backup befor you remove any apps.

Alright, this is a guide for everyone who has come to me saying "When I update, XXX.apk force closes" or "I hate doing a wipe every time I update"
What you will need:
Computer
Backup for Root Users
Google Account
SD Card
( Yes, this is written for idiots, )
What to do:
Power on your phone
Sync your google account
Run Backup for root users
Perform a data backup (first option)
Upon completion connect the phone to PC
Mount the sd card and open BackupRoot/data
delete everything related to the system
This is providers folders, htc.android folders, anything that isn't related to an app that you have installed
You should be left with just your program folders
These are things like nl.rogro.GScriptFull, and other INSTALLED programs
Do the update, wipe your phone, ect. (Whatever you had to do)
Run Backup for root users after opening any apps that have a EULA
These are things such as "Welcome, this program does some stuff" that appear when you first start the app and prevent data from being written until they have been accepted in full
Choose Restore Data (the option to the right of the first one you used)
Sync Google account
Congratulations, you have restored.
Now Backup for Root Users is a great app, but many people do not realize that when you back up all of your data, things like calendar and Mms may be different versions. Unlike installed apps that are meant to accept data from different versions of the same app, these programs may carry the same name but may read data differently. Things like calendar do not transport well, but by syncing your account you prevent losing anything because it is all reloaded by the sync.
Note: You will lose settings for Settings and Home Screen. These cannot be prevented and are the MOST COMMON cause of issue because the code for Launcher, Rosie, and the System are CONSTANTLY being changed. It's a small price to pay...
Great Advice!!! Thanks!

Ah, so you're the person behind this great app.
do you happen to have a thread/blog that explains what some of these backups do? I have a bit of a hard time decyphering some of them.
Correct me if i'm wrong regarding your tutorial twistedumbrella.
If the users are running apps2sd, shouldn't they run the second option of the backup "Backup Data2sd"?
As you requested I published an info page on my blog:

Slightly off topic I suppose, but could you [Blackgin] give us an option when using your program (as I do) to automatically backup only the Application Data that Twisted mentions above. That would save us the step of going in and deleting all that other stuff. You could call it "Pre-Wipe Backup" or something.

Easier said than done. You either have to index all apps and backup relative to that list (data is often a different name than the app) or index the system and skip that data (again variable by build). Honestly it would be a little too complicated unless you have set data lists just due to the variable nature of app name to data location.
Here is 1 more addition:
suppose u r gona have a wipe & dont want to do google account sign in again but want it to be automatically signed-in @ the first boot after updating,
Grab the attachment, extract & run bat file
It will backup google account database & will restore database:
Note: Backup When Phone Is running Means not in recovery mode
&
Restore after Updating/Wiping But in Recovery Mode Even restoring as soon as u update will do....

Maybe it isn't so difficult, I'm trying..
EDIT: Done
So if I am on a build using aps2SD, I choose that option right? The first time nothing backed up/restored properly
For me on cyanogen build, it works also the normal apk backup..
I backed up my sms while using Cyanogen 3.4.6, and i just flash JACHero, can I restore those SMS or will I run into some errors?

It depends on what you are using (app2sd or not) and what you want to backup..
If you want to backup data without system one, chose data-sys (or that for app2sd).. If you want a full data backup chose backup data (or that for app2sd)
Backup for root users doesn't work for me.
When I start the application the first time I click on always allow permission.
Then I click on any buttons to save and nothing.
Just a message very fast "Performing Backup..."
On SD there is a directory "BackupRoot" and inside 2 Directories "dataNoSys" and "sd".
any idea?

As you can see, it was not installed properly
Not to be whatever, but if the app isn't compatible with tablets, then it shouldn't work for the Fire until it is.. Are you trying to download on Amazon App Store or Market? Because if they put it in the Amazon app store then that would be VERY stupid on their part..
I read that the whatsapp application does work on KF.... if someone has the steps to install this correctly, do share. I used a friend's Android phone to upload the apk to Dropbox and tried to install it from there.
I tried using Ti Backup, but when restoring whatsapp on the kindle, the process either hangs or give me the error that the app is not installed. Any help will be greatly appreciated!
I got it working. but I had to locate an older version to install. I think the newer version of whatsapp does some check and thus prevent installation on the kindle.

i have installed it in my fire
but the following msg was shown when i try to use it..
I hope its ok to upload here, do inform me if i am breaking any rules.
Note that I am using the original kindle OS and not a rom like CM7. I am doing this as i cannot even get the newest version of whatsapp to be installed much less to work. I was unable to get to the screen that rhs013232 has shown. I keep getting the error "Application not Installed" during installation.
So basically what i did was to:
1) Do a Ti Backup of whatsapp on my phone
2) Transfer the 3 whatsapp backup files (these 3 were created when backing up whatsapp) from my phone into the Kindle's Ti backup folder
3) install a copy of this version of whatsapp on the kindle
4) Restore the "Data" (not App or App+data) of whatsapp using Ti Backup
This should allow whatapp to work after that.
This copy of whatsapp will keep complaining that its an older version, so just tap ignore.

i MIGHT be wrong, but...
i think since you have installed a different rom and thus it seems you managed to get whatsapp installed, all u need is to do a restore of whatsapp data. This will pass the kindle's copy of whatsapp the phone's data of registration etc allowing it to work.
So i think you should uninstall and reinstall whatsapp (dont open whatsapp first till after the restore) and do the restore using TI backup to see if you can get it working before you try to use the older version.

I don't have any android phone, so are there any other method to use whatsapp on my fire?
or can you share those back up file?
Sorry man, but i dont think the whatsapp backup files can be shared as it will contain my account details. That means if you use them, u will be receiving msgs from my contacts instead.
I would suggest you borrow a friends phone and using your SIM card, you set up whatapps there and do the backup. That might work.
Since I don't have an Android phone, I uploaded the older version of whatapps to dropbox and installed it from there but to no avail. I am still getting the:

you will definitely need Ti Backup from an android phone. cos without it I was also unable to start using whatsapp as I will have the same error as you.

Hello, i have rooted my Samsung Galaxy Ace (S5830) mainly with the purpose of removing the tons of bloatware my operator so kindly put on my phone.
So yesterday downloaded Titanium backup, and did the backup and removed the following applications:
Code:
- All posts 1.0
- All Share 1.1.0
- Apoio a Cliente 1.0 (Custumer support)
- Google Talk 1.3
- Music Shop 5.0.15
- Social Hub 1.00.10.101
- Thinkfree Office 2.0.110222
The problem with unninstalling this was that a few system applications got unninstalled aswell, and even after recuperating all of the above programs with my backup they appear as uninstalled:
Code:
- com.android.audioTuning
- com.broadcom.bt.app
- com.sec.android.appGpsSetup2
- com.sec.android.app.samsungapps.una
- com.sec.app.OmaCP
- com.wipereceiver
- pl.com.samsung
My questions are as follow:
1) Is any of the files that got unninstalled accidentally important? And if so, how can i recuperate them.
2) How do i know exactly what i am unnisntaling in the future so i dont get any more surprises
Thank you in advance,
dpkPT
if any of your Frnds are using the same mobile with same os . First root that. Mobile and install titanium backup pro From black mart. And backup all the things you unfortunately deleted and send that backup files to your mobile via bluetooth and you also install that titanium backup pro . If you install titanium backup pro a folder will be created and move that files to that folder and install it . To solve this in future backup all the items using titanium backup pro

i had thought of getting those files of some other phone. But the only friend that also has an Ace is a diferent model (s5839i wich uses andrid 2.3.6) than mine ( s5830 android 2.3.5). Will the files be compatible?
anyone?
I wouldn't install system files from a different version. You can hunt around and try to find a factory image for your model and use Odin to flash it. Then, start from scratch. Or, if there are any custom ROM's available for your phone, flash that and you won't have to worry about the system files. Rule of thumb for next time..if you don't know what it is, you probably shouldn't delete it!
In addition to that. One of the beauty things with Titanium Backup Pro is that you can "Freeze" apps to see if there is any detrimental effects by not having the run. If so, then you can "defrost" them. When in doubt, don't uninstall no matter how much you think it is bloat.
I am asking another RC to come in here that owns an Ace and see if he can help you. Could take a little time as he is on the other side of the world from me.

I thought uninstalling bloatware was the same as unninstalling a normal aplication. I didnt unninstall anything i didnt know what it was, it just happened that those processes got unninstaled togheder with the bloatware without me even noticing. It would be nice if titanium backup would tell me all that is being unninstaled, so i dont get another surprise like this. Example: " You are unninstalling Crap Bloatware v2.0. Be warned that along with this the following processes will be unninstalled aswell: com.importantsystemthing, com.sec.blabla. Are you sure you want to continue?"

1. It doesn't seem like your device is the ace. It must be the i version of the ace. Because i can see the com.broadcom.bt app in it. Broadcom hardware is present only in the 'i' variant.
2. Yes you have deleted some system apps like OmaPC server.
Now all what you can do is
1. Check the label below the battery for the correct version of your device.
2. I guess it will be the ace i. So download a stock firmware from sammobile.com
3. Flash it using odin. There are tons of guides the flashing process.
Just Google it.
Hope this helps. Incase you need more help and i fail to reply to this thread, pm me.

That's why I suggest you to try this one brother, "super backup".
You can download it from playstore. Its very simple ui but can backup all of your app include your system app.
And it's free

Use titanium (or Helium) for all your apps, use SMS Backup & Restore for sms.
I use this combo as well. Never had a problem losing anything once I started using it.

titanium backup has always worked for well for me for apps. I've never worried about backing up SMS though.

It wont find my External SD Card though (im using USB OTG since my phone doesnt have a SD card slot) so im gunna backup and then move it to my SD card using a Root Explorer
if you have root explorer lets open it and click storage
look in this folder, maybe your external sdcard is named as extsd or sdcard1, etc
reopen super user and clik backup path and change as /storage/sdcard1/SmsContactsBackup
or /storage/extsd/SmsContactsBackup depending of what is name of your external sdcard on /storage
You can do this to usb otg too

I got it working. Just a question is there a way to make the apps automatically install themselves? I got a pop-up for each app that I had to click "Install" then "Done" which was tedious

NO it can not
You only reinstall super backup from play store and then open it and tab to the archiver easy to reinstall your app just by one click at the bottom of archiver and all of your app will reinstall quickly.
Hi All,
I have gone beyond my tech capabilities this w/e to solve my storage/hanging problems by manually rooting my Galaxy Grand Duos and then partitioning the SD card to use Link2SD app effectively. A success!
My question is:-
If I buy a new device and put my SD card in it and restore from a back up (MObile Go - including app data) will all those links to app data/apk/dex still work? May sound silly but I need to know if there's more to the process of getting all my data back than inserting the card in a new phone and restoring from back up? I don't want any complex surprises!
Can anyone enlighten?
TIA
No. On older device usd titanium backup tonbackup all app data on ad card ans then insert the sd card in new phond. Install all apps normally. After doing that all install titanium backup on mew device and restore all titanium backup. After restoring you have all app data from older device to new device and then link data tonsd card using link2sd

Thank You Droid-God, I did install Titanium BackUp but found it so confusing I immediately un-installed it! It seems every single thing must be backed up separately with this app and I have no idea of knowing what's important and what's not Google searches for how to use it weren't helpful, is there a thread here you could point me to?
TIA
Shola
I will provide you screenshots for how to use it

Thanks so much that's super helpful, a few questions.
I've linked a lot of apps to SD card, so do I have to unlink them all PERMANENTLY to use Titanium Backup?
I don't understand what everything in the list is i.e 'com.sec.android 19082XXUB... etc etc', and many others like that, do I need to back all these things up one by one?
Can I batch back up everything? I don't see an option for this...
Thanks really appreciate your help!
