Hi bros,
I am Linux developer and have some years using Android phone. Like many root users, I initially use Titanium Backup for making backups for my apps in my device. But I found that it has so many functions and looks jumbled for me to use just app backup/restore. Additionally, it seems to be buggy and failed to handle some of my apps.
I also used some other softs such as App Backup but it is unable to make backup the data/settings of an app. Or another one is Ultimate Backup, this soft is really cool but it looks colorful unnecessarily personally with me and uses a local font for the UI, the one makes it not compatible to many of my apps in my language
So I decide to write an app for my own - Efficient Backup. You can find it on the Play right now.
Yes, like its name, I just focus into the real efficiency of a backup/restore app.
Therefore, all I would like to share with you is: A fast, smart, easy-to-use Backup/Restore soft with simple UI but efficient operation.
Though I made and used it for my own for long time w/o any problem. But releasing to Market is another story. So I am willing to hear feedback from you to improve it. So please feel free to twit or send email to me as hainguyen273 (for both Twitter and Gmail)
BTW, I would like to present to you other products by our APS Technology Group. They are:
- Quick Exit (Froyo+)[/URL] for ending any running app just by long-pressing Camera/Seach button or pulling down the status bar to click
- Quick Settings] for fastest way to switch on/off Wifi/bluetooth/Data/GPS...
- SmartBar for managing apps/tasks and pin everything you like to status bar
- ... so on. You can easily find more our products on Market.
Thanks for attention,
Hainguyen273 from APS Technology Group.
Cheers!
Edit: A ton of new features added in new version.
For example:
- Batches APK Installer: You can use the built-in files Browser to select and install hundreds of apps (APKs) instantly anytime. Batch mode is supported by default (such an ability allows to ignore pressing confirmation button)
- Automatic APK Installer: allows your device to automatically install APKs in a preset folder, also in batch mode.
- Backed up archives Importer: Unique function which allows you to restore app on archives created by other Backup soft such as Titanium Backup, App Backup&Restore, Ultimate Backup... It also allows you to create yourself a quick backup by using any rooted Files Browser to manually copy the app and data directories of apps to anywhere on the SD card, then you can make restore later with the help of Import...> Other... button
- An unique set of tools provided for handling app issues, such as FC Fixer, App Repairer, App storage cleaner, Reset the app to brandnew state, System app Remover, Free/defrost apps, Batches of apps uninstaller...

I haven't yet tried your app. From the descriptions and your provided screenshots, it looks like a very efficient backup tool. The only problem is that I rely heavily on Titanium to manage the apps that I usually freeze after a new ROM flash. I can save my custom lists of "To Be Frozen", "To Be Installed After ROM Flash", "Battery Draining Suspects", etc in Titanium and do batch freezing/defreezing/uninstalling/backing up/restoring of desired lists in one click.
For someone who is not so obsessive/compulsive about such list management, you app would be a very good choice.
Is the app free? Does it restore apps in batches, or one at a time?

Yeah sure, man. I made this app exactly for those who have not so much the need of list management. But as for the need of restoring desired apps after installing rom, my app provided the Save list button especially for that. However, I dont think this feature is a fit for your need, but I recommend you to give a try just for the speed and the smoothness of its backing/restoring task

Hello
For me it don't work
I think there is a problem with the Sd card, i get the message when i go in Settings Sd Card "invalid Path" and i don't know what i have to fill in there. If i let the default Settings and try to start the Backup it only show backing up but stay at 0 Apps and don't go forward.

I guess you maybe missed clicking the Allow button when Superuser were prompting. Just open Superuser and check it to make sure that Efficient Backup was allowed already.

Your device is probably running ICS, right? This known bug has been noticed already at right the head of Description section of the app on the Market. I am working on it and will fix soon.
Thank you all for feedback,

New update V1.0.1 released.
- ICS has been supported.
- New features:
+ Standalone smart App Installer with automatic/manual storage selections when installing app. Batch mode supported. You can browse for selecting hundreds of apps to install at a time. So quick, so easy!
+ Batches App Uninstaller: So quick and easy again to unsinstall a batch of apps in seconds. Missed clicks? It is smart enough in providing automatic and manual Yes/No buttons. Just up to you only.
+ An unique tool: App Storage Cleaner. Such a tool allows you to scan and clean up the dead packages/app/data in all app storages in the device. As a result, it returns to you a fast and light device
- Performance has been improved even more. It was fast, so now it is even faster.
I though tried to fix as many bugs as you guys reported as possible, but if you have any issue not yet resolved, just let me know.

I was looking for an app which support batch install by sellecting a folder with apks.
So I think I'll stick with it if I don't find any problems(I haven't test it yet, I just installed it).
Anyway, If you' re interested for localization of your app, I can translate it to greek.
Just post the xml files to start.
Thanks.
Have tried this and got few issues.
1. It complained there is no insufficient memory on sdcard(in fact huge is there) but when i skipped that file remaining were restored successfully.
2. Out of 37 apps 3 failed, don't know the reason. App doesn't tell anything.
Haven't tried restored anyway. Im on defy cm9 nightly.

Hi everyone. Im one of the developers of SwitchMe, and app that allows multiple secure logins into separate installations of android on a single device. The pr is after the break.
I really need a few people to check into some issues people on the original Tab have been experiencing. There are some warnings involved:
- testers must perform a full nandroid backup before using the app, it is not our responsibility if you start getting boot loops
- if you report results or bugs, please use the "Write to us" function in the app whenever possible, and always describe the issue in the header of the logs you send
- if you post here, be sure to include your device type and rom
- if you have apps installed on sd, be sure to mention that as well
--------------------------------------------------------------------
SwitchMe is a unique application for root users that allows you to log in and out of multiple installations of Android just as you would on a desktop computer.
The technology behind SwitchMe saves all of your applications and data, protects it and stores it as a file in memory. You can then log out of an
account and log into a fresh installation of Android or another account with its own unique content.
You may create as many profiles as the memory is capable of holding. Some of these may require very little free memory because they contain few apps,
others will be larger as they contain many applications and lots of cache and data.
Why is this functionality useful?
Privacy - the most obvious benefit is that you can securely share one device among multiple users, which gives you privacy and peace of mind.
Testing - if you are a developer, you can use profiles as clean sandboxes to test your applications and their interaction with the system.
Gaming – with multiple installations of Android on a single device, you can now play online MMOs as different characters.
Speed - the games your kids play slow down your tablet, but with SwitchMe you can easily create profiles without games or instant messengers.
Battery life - when the battery is low but there are important emails or documents to edit later, switch to a profile which only contains these essentials.
These of course are only suggestions - there are plenty of other uses for the functionality SwitchMe offers.
Market link:
https://market.android.com/details?id=fahrbot.apps.switchme
The Lite version allows the creation of two profiles, enough to test on.
Screens:
SwitchMe 1.2 has been rolled out and now includes a lockscreen replacement:
1.2
Added lock screen for logging in and out
More stable Fast switch implementation
Reworked UI colors
Now, its very important that we get some feedback on how this big new feature works, so please read up on it in the help and post your thoughts!
1.2.2 - HOTFIX 2
Reworked widget on qHD+ displays
Fixed widget text on HC and ICS
Fast switch improved on older devices
So guys any comments?
There is no way this app affects recovery whatever youre doing wrong its a user error.
Arobase40 said:
Sorry Man, but I haven't installed Superuser, as the ROM was prebuilt with Superuser and CWM, and was working fine since SwitchMe... ^^
No access to the Market as, AGAIN, no Google apps at all, and so no Market !
I just created the profiles as instructed BUT this apps did NOT copied the Samsung ROM correctly... Don't know what happens with Recovery ???
I've spent the whole night to find out a way to flash back my backup.
This is my report and I can't change it and since this is your first report with this device, I guess ???.
Then telling this is a user error, please explain what was my error except being your first beta tester with your app on this device ???

I cant explain anything to you because your description of the issue makes no sense - all i can say is that its not possible for this app to modify the recovery partition. Its physically impossible.
The lack of gapps is probably because they were bot installed in /system. Same with superuser. Check your rom for more info.
Any issues to report?
Not working on Galaxy tab GT-P1000
Hi,
Exact same problem as Arobase40.
I Installed Switchme, added 2 accounts (one for actual user and a new user). Then rebooted. No more market (and google apps) nor SuperUser. SwitchMe and Cwm complain I didn't give root permission.
Is there a solution or do I have to flash rom with Odin ?

That means there are symlinks to the /system or /data folders where the gapps and superuser are stored. That is the problem - the app does not and will never support these links.
Any issues with the new build?
No... I'm not willing to take into account individuals. I work with the lowest common denominator. Dont like it? Don't use it. Frankly, arguing with a dv really isn't going tointuce him to help you...

Does that mean all SGT P-1000 will have the same problem? I have no problem losing gapps, I can always download it from goo manager. I'm afraid I would lose superuser/root access like they did.
Will it work on ICS CM-9mod (MTD)?
It would be a killer app if this can work.
No of course not. It applies only to roms with symlinks.
Well I just moved from CM9 to AOKP and because I am not a dev, I wouldn't know if they use any symlinks or not when they make their custom ROM.
But I decided to go ahead install ur app and see if it will work. We'll find out soon.
Here goes nothing. I hope it will work.

Hey! So far it works! That means:
1. This apps works for SGT-P1000 with CM9 Rom, as well as AOKP rom
2. both AOKP and CM9 builds do not have symlink.
Here are the test cases I did
(You asked us to test just the compatibilityto P1000 not the functionality)
preps:
1. downloaded SwithMe from Google play. App automatically installed
2. Backed up everything in titanium backup
3. Reboot to Recovery and did nandroid backup
TC1. Startup SwitchMe app Result: App startup, displaying 2 warnings.
Warning 1. Preparation warning. 2. Apps on Sdcard warning
TC2. - Move allapps on SDcard back to internal sdcard, restart SwitchMe app
result: 1warning displayed.
- Confirm warning
result: Superuser asks for confirmation for access
- Confirm superuser access Result: App goes to empty page with "Add profile" button.
TC3 Create 2 profilea
Result: Both created.
TC4. Activate Profile, reboot.
Result: Tablet rebooted and started normally
TC5. Activate profile 2, Reboot
Result1: Tablet rebooted and started as a new untouched rom,
prompting user to initial wizard.
Result2: SwitchMe app available, while other user apps are not available.
Result3: gapps are still available.
I hope this helps.
Thank you. A pleasure to see someone actually help us out!
My pleasure.
Pointers for users:
1. Using different google accounts for different profiles will prevent you from downloading app from playstore (error message).
2. Do not select google backup when setting up second profile. If you select google backup, it will automatically install missing apps from google market, therefore you will have an exact clone with your main profile at the end.
Once you get used to it, it is a nice app to have.

NFC sounds interesting since it's quick and easy to use. I'll keep that in mind and start looking around for another NFC device for testing since my only NFC device at this time is my Galaxy Nexus.
Can this app be use to backup app data? Like ID and Password.
doesnt work with whatsapp... its wipe the app data...
working with anothers apps
its a good application and good luck
@nelsdzyre You can use this app to save your app data on another device and see this as a backup. If you want to do a backup using a single device you would need something like a backup tool like TitaniumBackup. If a backup succeeds depends on the app you want to backup because some apps encrypt their data with a device specific key so this will not work but maybe a local backup using TitaniumBackup will.
@yogevx this may be a limitation by WhatsApp, does syncing WhatsApps data work if you try to push the app data manually using TitaniumBackup or any similiar backup tools?

Was wondering if on future updates you could add some functionality to not only share App data, but apps themselves? I find myself having to manually pull the apk for Whatsapp from my phone using TiBu every time I want to update Whatsapp on my WiFi Tablet and thought this would help alleviate those issues. :laugh:

the only risk to consider is "piracy" .. you may want to consider some sort of google acct authentication or something similar so ppl cant just share any app with anyone.. you'll run into some major legal issues
idea
talk with google about mix it with google drive
@mcmb03 piracy was one of our discussion points but since apps aren't saved in a "special" location anymore and even paid apps can be moved to sdcard without rooting but are protected using some kind of license verification like Google's LVL (License Verification Library), this is not a problem and especially no legal issue.
You can share any app with anyone as soon as you root your device. But your friend will not be able to run it, because paid apps have built in license verification libraries.
tl;dr: No piracy possible without modifying (e.g. hacking) paid apps.
TF201 (Stock) ICS
HD2 (Typhoon CM7 3.8.8) Gingerbread
Both using the same sync key.
The HD2 finds the TF201.
The TF201 struggles to find the HD2 sometimes. A closing and re-opening of the app is needed.
Sync from the HD2 to TF201:
Click on TF201. The TF201 displays the big AppSync logo.
The list of apps on the TF201 appear. Nice.
Tried "Cut the Rope" and "Wold of Goo" push from HD2 to TF201.
Failed.
Drops back to the device selection screen on both devices.
Sync from the TF201 to HD2:
If the HD2 appears (it usually doesn't)
Click on HD2. The HD2 displays the big AppSync logo.
The list of apps on the HD2 appear.
Tried several games push from HD2 to TF201.
Sync Done appears, but nothing actually works.
Tried push from TF201 to HD2 (Hungry Shark).
Failed.
Drops back to the device selection screen on both devices.
Bug 1: The screen turned off as I clicked HD2. When I turned the screen back on, the listening for device screen appeared on the HD2. On the TF201, the apps list still stayed. When clicking on an app, "an unknown error occurred" followed by a "connection timed out" error. The app doesn't like the screen turning off. It seems to drop the connection when this occurs.
Bug 2: On the HD2, the TF201 appears multiple times. Each time it goes back to the device selection screen after a sync failed, it adds another device. Same name, same IP address. Clicking each one had the same functionality. An annoying bug, The same issue happened on the TF201 when the sync failed. Getting devices to connect to each other (I think after clicking on the other device) removes some, if not all the multiple entries.
Overall, the app did not work for me, but a good idea. This app has great potential.
Automatic sync of selected apps would be awesome, and more intuitive icons than >> and << . I need to click them to see what they do, and I think on ICS, they may be swapped around.
@xebozone thank you very much for your detailed report, I will have a look into this asap and include the fix in next version. :good:
Hello,
I recently published a light-weight app manager:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=burrows.apps.appmanager
##############
Use App Manager to easily take care of your apps!
★★☆Please Comment and make Suggestions for new features before Rating!☆★★
App Manager is a light-weight tool designed to simply help the user to batch uninstall and backup applications with the least amount of permissions as possible. The application quickly lists all the installed applications on the user's phone, displaying information about each application, allowing them to view details about the application. From here, user's can chose whether to uninstall, backup or read detailed information about each applcation.
Disclaimer: Apps that are private can not be backed up.
App Manager features:
Uninstall Apps
✔ Click on Apps to Uninstall one-by-one
✔ Check multiple Apps to Uninstall (Batch Uninstall)
Backup Apps
✔ Click on Apps to Backup one-by-one
✔ Click on multiple Apps to Backup (Batch Backup)

FAQ:
Where are my Apps being backed up to?
~/Android/data/burrows.apps.appmanager
Suggestions/Possible Future Updates:
– Allow Root Users to Backup private applications
Permissions requested:
✔ Modify SD Card: Backup apps to sdcard
::::::::::::UPDATES::::::::::::
Question and Answer:
*Why doesn't App Manager back up app data?
For security reasons. Truthfully, I originally created this app to be light-weight application. I would rather not create an application to back up user's application data and be responsible for the data.
*Why doesn't App Manager back up certain applications?
If App Manager did not backup a certain application, the application is most likely a "private" application in which the developer did not want to allow you to obtain the "*.apk". Usually the application is stored in the /data/app-private with less permissions.
So far here is what I have updated(still updating):
- Fixed the miss-spelling in the menu
- Fixed menu location for Android 4.0+
- Fixed "About" app menu section
- Fixed Layout for "Name" arrow position
- Removed buttons that cluttered app for devices under Android 3.0
- Added mass deletion of backups
- Added mass installation

The application stops backing up apps once the screen turns off !!
though.. plz keep the application free in order to compete with titanuim, a free alternative will always be appreciated

They're backed up to your SD card (hence the SD permissions)...
Noticed that the backup process stops if your screen times out.
Also, if you try to touch the screen to keep it from timing out, that stops the backup process also.
Would like to see whether an app is private or not in the Details section when I click on an app. (That way I know why an app is not showing up in the backed-up apps list).
Also would like to see a "check all / uncheck all / check box" option when restoring apps.
Data
Does this back up the data as well as the app?

Dear users,
Considering all 3C apps are now based on the same source code, they all behave the same way, and will exhibit the same issues. Any queries will also likely applies to all apps.
To make my life easier while continuing to provide support here (and start with a clean slate), I decided to close all my app threads and open a fresh new thread here.
With your continuous help and support, the past 4 years have been a great adventure and experience. Let's take a fresh start and continue this amazing adventure.
Thank you all!
*** See at the end of this post on how to get support for any issues ***
The most comprehensive toolbox to save battery, tweak, tune, backup, secure and monitor any Android devices running any ROMs, any kernels.
What is 3C Toolbox
Replaces 20+ apps easily worth 30€ for the price of a couple of beers!
NB: Starting with version 1.0.3, Android 2.2.x and 2.1.x are no longer supported. App supports Android 2.3 and above, including Android L preview.
Safest root app on Play Store: I run the app and all its features on at least 4 devices every day, and change 3 of them frequently for testing purposes. With about 250.000+ actual users, it's pretty safe to assume the app is very safe. App can create a reset package to disable all system tweak features from CWM/TWRP at any time. App has automatic fallback in case of boot loops while re-configuring the CPU.

Please send a support request from app settings, help and support. You need to clearly explain your issue, attach any relevant screenshots showing where and how the issue occurs. I will not provide any support here.
All I ask is to provide reasonable details for me to be able to help, empty requests are mostly trashed, I keep one requests per device for the sake of a possible source of information for how the app supports things, to possibly fix things too or compare between variants of the same device.
For example a support request contain the following (you can check the content before sending it!),
all discovered SD cards, very useful for any related issues, including the mentioned read cache stuff.
app installation path and configuration, for xposed, battery, cpu, tweaks, apps or task managers problems.
battery history and configuration for any battery problems.
CPU configuration for CPU problems, including thermal, mp, voltage, etc
The idea is that you explain the observed issue, possibly add a screenshot so that I know exactly where to look for (app has 100+ screens and sometimes words don't mean the same for you and me), and there I can really do a good job at helping you.
PS: And so you know, I hate liars, insults, disrespect and myself. So please try to avoid those when requesting support.
Actually if you want support, posting the whole support request content, the screenshot and details here should be ok. Doing otherwise, I'll either ignore you completely or send you elsewhere very quickly, you want to leave me a one star rating, so be it: developing is my passion and I love it, you want my help, do it the right way or don't at all. I don't develop for stars, I develop for fun.

I've updated the first post with more information about that. Will publish an updated APK to ask user permission before installing it within the next hour.
EDIT: Didn't expected you guys to be so quick while I finalize the publishing of all required information.
By the way, the uninstall process can't uninstall other stuff, but as a rooted device, you should have no problem getting rid of this APK.
Please try the new APK published a minute ago (available in a couple of hours) that will allow you to refuse the APK installation.

Yes, just contact me with the order lists (bmw, system tuner and the new android tuner) and I'll refund old apps. This is the migration plan I'm working on.
EDIT: As of December 20th, 2013, direct refunds on Play Store are no longer possible. This was the only available way to offer discounts in a decent way. PayPal was an alternative available until February 2014, but it was abandonned because of the complexity, 30+% extra fees and the lack of global support (some countries could not receive refunds).

Yes, high price for now to avoid users who just try any apps and put comments after a few minutes of testing. And also to be able to offer discounts by refunding old apps paid version.
Nevertheless there will be updates on existing apps (not everyone wants an all in one app) with existing improvements, except features that require additional permissions.
Do you think youll ever add ability to spoof app permissions? And let user input the value... This would be an ultimate feature!

I'm looking into this actually, along with a smart "renicer", but both requires hacking Android or every APK to monitor and it turns out to be very complex.
There's 3 existing solutions on Market today:
- Hacking of Android class loader, as done by LBE Security app.
- Hacking of APK installed, as done by SRT Guard
- Patching the ROM like PDroid does.
They all have their advantages and problems, but the APK hacking seems the best option to go for as it results in a more stable experience, not as dependent on Android version as the 2 others and probably less disruptive as LBE can be when it messes up one's device. But then I'm not sure an APK can actually be installed properly
That said, I'm still looking into the first solution hacking app loading directly.

Yes it is compatible. When did it lag? After requesting to install the system app or at some other times?
When lagging, the OS usually creates a file in /data/anr/traces.txt. If you experience a new lag, you can send it to me, possibly using the support request feature in the app settings. You can then attach a file to the newly created email.
When it comes to lags (or ANRs for that matter), logcat is useless. It only mentions a reference to the traces.txt file

To me (if I'm wrong it's all user error) the system apk it was requesting to install (it appeared to me) was for ics/jb, so I refused the install. Your app kept requesting to install the extras. After a little thought - is the extra apk mandatory? No intention to cause any concern if what I'm experiencing is nonsense. I have not rated your app on the play store.
It lagged randomly.

The extra APK is now only for specific toggles as I manage to find a different work around for the JB logcat issue. Those toggles include the APN (mobile data), background data (this one's obsolete), debug mode, unknown sources, gps and wifi localization. The 1 useful toggles is for GPS though.
Until you press 'do not ask again', the app would continue to request the APK installation ;(
As for the lags you're experiencing that seems like a bug. Have you found any trace.txt in /data/anr directory by any chance?
It's just fair to be concerned with things like that, I can understand. But installing an app requesting 35 permissions, then granting root access to that app and then being scared about a 40Kb APK being installed on /system folder is quite funny actually.
If I may make this comparison, it's like letting a heavily armed man (the 35 permissions+root) in your home and then being worried being he is hiding a wallet (the 40Kb apk) in your home!
Anyway, bad comments always call for improvements

Seems permissions are about the same as some system apps. the taces.txt is up for you. Hope it does something helpful. Thanks for the app. I had sent a PM with the information about the purchases. I do not use google wallet.
Awesome news that you are working on user defined app permissions. I really hope you can find a good work around. And I do currently use SRT appguard in conjuction with Android Tuner and I did notice it seems to handle disabling app permissions pretty good. The only downside is that you won't get app updates from market but that's not a big deal to me. I think if you can get the spoofing action to work, a lot of people are going to want your app. There are plenty of times I haven't downloaded an app because I didn't like it's permissions. So being able to control them without breaking the app will be a dream come true.

Hi.
Just had and upgrade from OnePlus 6t to OnePlus 7 pro. I was thinking, that it's gonna to be easy walk in the park using my old friend Titanium backup. Ow how I was wrong. I used "migrate system data" checkbox checked
Every third user app force closes after restore from titanium backup
All user settings bluetooth / wifi pairings was was not restored successfully. Didnt even tried messages and call logs, as I read in play store comments, that it's also a failure
Box.com backups of app got's corrupted. Downloaded backups verification fails with "error with properties of backup". In details it shows: has data:yes, has app:No. But folder size is same as on source system. Simple to test on single device: backup any app, upload to box.com. Uninstall app and delete it's backup. Sync back from box to titanium backup. And this app is not restoreable anymore. Same test succeeds with google drive. Wrote support, but no answer. Ended moving files between devices via oneplus file manager file dash.
Folder organizer labels does not work anymore
How I can backup and move titanium settings and labels from one device to another? "Auto sync tb settings" checkbox does not generate any file on source device for me
UI issues trimming part of the labels / texts
And it's not only me. See one of the most thanked comment on play store from 2019-03-18:
App data backup / restore works, but that's about it. * It only backs up the main .apk file in a split apk. Restoring a backup of split apk will most likely cause the app to crash.Google is pushing app bundles hard, so these will become more and more common. * It doesn't backup Messages / call logs correctly (DB location moved to /data/user_de/0 sometime in Kit-Kat? This backs up the old location) * Backups occasionally fail reporting no space left, despite having more than enough available * Lots of UI issues, such as dark text on dark buttons - nearly illegible * Developer is unresponsive to support emails

I don't want to say farewell to my old beloved friend, but lack of support and such issues is not acceptable for me. Any recommendations for reliable backup app?
I think I found alternative: Swift backup.
Supports all new android features (split apks + permision restore). Also app has extremely active and supportive telegram group with app author in constant contact with users. Requested one feature, and it got implemented in a few moments!
I also now start running into hanging restores using trusty old Titanium Backup. So it stopped working properly. I indeed reckon it is due to split apks. So I am now also stuck wondering whether to ask for updating TB or move over to using something else. I will have a look at your found alternative, thanks.
Necrothreading here . But in 2020 Titanium still freezes on split APKs and doesn't support DE app data. I also took a look at Swift but immediately rejected it because it won't run even in a basic mode without GApps and a sign-in - useless when testing developer ROMs where the gapps might be broken.
Any other 2020 root backup solutions that work?
Those apps are not taken care because people don't root their phones nowadays. Would recommend you to use TWRP for backup.
had the same issue, but I fixed it with disabling this android setting: "Verify apps over USB". This setting is under system > developer options, so you will have to enabled developer mode..
I found this advice elsewhere, so I thought I'd put it here too. I'm looking for an alternative for titanium, (I'm happily using SMS Backup and Restore), but haven't found anything I like just yet.

I disabled "Verify apps over USB" and it allowed my hanging restores to complete.
HOWEVER, the apps in question then crashed every time I tried to open them. So not truly a working solution.

did you take a look at logcat for details of the crash? I think I had similar issues, and it turns out I needed to change permissions/ownership on a single directory (/sdcard?). I had to do this once, and then all subsequent restores have been working fine. it's quite easy to do with "adb logcat" and then just try to start the app.
The best thing I did was not to try to restore everything on the new phone, but just selectively restore apps that I missed from the old phone over time. apps like signal/whatapp need specialized restore processes anyway due the encryption, and the storage of data outside of the app data location.

SWIFT requires GAPPS. If you're trying to move away from Google, it won't work.
I have noticed on my own phone that Titanium Backup often does not restore the APK properly. However, I have had great success with it in restoring app data and I can always download and install the app from APKMonk, APKMirror F-Droid or my backup APK. Unfortunately, without GAPPS, the Titanium Backup PRO key will not work and the free app is too limiting. Titanium Backup does have the capability of using a license file and I have tried multiple times to contact the programmer to acquire or re-buy the license file but I have heard nothing back from them since I started pestering them a month ago, not from their TitaniumTrack website, not from the legacy page and not by direct email to Mr. Bourquard. I'm going to keep trying but there have been no updates to the app in Google Play since 24 Nov 2019 (the TitaniumTrack website has a change log but no update date). I hope he isn't dead ...

The problem of apps with Split APK's makes it harder to make your own backup APK, and if you can't find the full APK on a mirror, you can be in trouble.
I have found a good solution using SAI ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aefyr.sai&hl=en&gl=US ).
I backup the app with TiB (which, as you say, does a good job still with the app data). And I backup the APKs with SAI. Between the two, I can rollback/restore/etcetera.

That's not a bad idea.
I recently migrated away from Google and have /e/OS loaded on my phone without GAPPS. I can use Aurora Store to access Google Play but SAI is also available in the /e/ store so I'll get it from there. I had looked at and rejected SAI because it doesn't save app data but I'll try combining the two.
I'm not sure why Swift Backup is not talked about more often. It's one of the best backup app out there. Way better than what Titanium offers.
Well, unfortunately Titanium hasn't been updated in ages...

As I explained earlier, Swift requires the Google Play store, which I purposely do not have installed on my phone.
Have you guys not heard of oandbackup ? It's not updated since 2019 but I think it does a pretty good job, the github page also mentions about how to restore the files manually and setting security context etc. I haven't tried it but I am about too.

It is no longer mandatory to have GApps, though it is still mandatory to sign to google account. You can still do local back up
