Hi guys. I am new to rooting, and finally took the plunge and rooted my LG Thrill. the main reason I rooted was to get hotspot access as well as freeze bloatware. I doubt I will ever use a custom rom.
With that said, after rooting with Megatron, I used Titanium backup to backup apps and to freeze a few.
My question is this: I have a short list at the bottom of my apps (8) that are striked out. The list is below.
1) What are these?
2) Can I remove them under REMOVE ORPHAN DATA without any ill effects?
3) Are these parts of frozen apps?
I haven't been able to find much info on these.

I truly appreciate all the help I have received from this forum...although I haven't posted much, I have read quite a bit and all of your posts have helped me immensely.
Thanks again!
The ones with the lines through them are just apps that have been backed up but are not on your phone anymore or are frozen

That's where u am confused. these were immediately there. Right after root, I installed Titanium Backup and those showed up strikes. I didn't make changes that I know of.
Prior phone?

Not sure what you mean? This is the only phone I have rooted and used Titanium with.
I would like to use the function to "Remove Orphan Data", but don't want to mess anything up.
It shows them as No backup yet...but doesn't seem to be a way to back them up...probably because it thinks these were old apps.
Can suggestions or advise would be greatly appreciated!

I don't see how they could be things that are not on the phone anymore as I did the backup, then froze a couple of apps and haven't removed anything.
You mention that these could be from frozen apps too...so if there was something that couldn't get backed up, then I froze it, these could be from those frozen programs?
So in practice, if I were to unfreeze my apps, I should see those strikes removed????
Yes

Hey guys,
Im sure many of you know about the problems which can be caused backing up apps and restoring them to different android versions (problems with force close, reboots, general instability / compatibility).
I found this great free app which makes a list of all your apps you have installed into an XML on your sd card (so it wont get wiped when flashing your phone) and will allow you to open the XML and select an app and it will take you to the market place page for your selected app to download it again.
I find the market place 'my apps' will only remember my paid apps after changing roms and this is a much more reliable way and safer way to get your apps back, plus its just easier to have all your old apps in a list ready to download and not searching for ages right?!
I flash my phone quite regularly and with this app you can be sure you get the correct version of your apps not restoring one that's not compatible and cause problems.
Here's the App Brain link http://www.appbrain.com/app/zemna-applist-backup/net.zemna.android.applistbackup. I don't expect this to changes lives buts its a helpful tool, for free!
I'm not the dev for this app and take no credit for his / hers / their work! Feel free to hit 'THANKS' if this is useful to you.
Enjoy ;-)

to be honest not much usefull,but still appreciated...!!
I found it good, each to their own opinions I guess. Just thought I'd share cos my market never shows my free apps after flashing and its just easier to use this than spend ages searching for the all again, there're just there in a list ready to download

Already done
easiest way is to copy /data/app to your sd card. then copy all the apks from there to your computer and put them into flashtool's "/custom/app" folder. then after flashing your new rom, click "customize" in flash tool. bam, all your apps are installed without having to wait for downloading.
biggest downfall is losing app's saved "data". ei highscores and settings.
you can back these up by copying the program's data folder from /data/data to your sd card. the data folder for the program will look like this:
come.rovio.angrybirds (angry birds)
inside the data folder you will find different data files, some will be settings, highscores, etc. it will be different for every program. once you reinstall the app. you can copy JUST the data files to replace settings, scores, etc. don't copy the entire folder or you will get FC's.
That makes sense although iv never tried it. In theroy you could use the flashtool to put all the apps back on the phone and then with titanium back up restore data only and it not cause problems?

why not just use titanium backup? there's a free version. it needs root, but if you're flashing roms so often, you would already have root. you can back up everything, and batch restore everything. better than clicking 1 app at a time imo

I see where your coming from but backing up and restoring apps between different versions of android isn't really a good idea and there is different versions of apps for different android versions which is where the compatibility issues and stability problems come in.
The idea of this is it saves all your apps and you can download the right version for your particular configuration on your phone.

i hate restoring with titanium. you have to confirm each individual reinstall.
There is a batch mode you know and just leave it to do its thing automaticly. Batch restore brings everything back, I only had to confirm once at the start of the process

thanks for recommending this app, as it is really useful
i do not recommend tb/mybackup if you are switching between android versions as some apks might not be compatible
using this you can link to the market really easy and it ensures you having apps installing in the right way =)

You should read the OP again, TB isn't always the best choice. Especially between different roms and versions of android.

I use TB and restore just the app, no data.
For games like AB there are back up apps available on the AM and I've not had any problems using this method!

Your lucky then I guess. Really the idea of this is if your changing your android version though, ie; going from 2.1- 2.2 ,2.2 - 2.3 or down grading your android version. It helped me anyway....

Hey I didn't see any threads for this in a search and none in the similar threads. I payed $4 for this app and I just flashed a new rom and I was looking for it to install and it seems to be pulled from the market. Can anyone confirm that this app disappeared?
I really don't want to have to restore an old nandroid backup to get this back. But its looking like I will have to.
Gone from my market as well.

There is nothing I can do to get refunded is there?
I just checked on my unrooted Echo. No luck on finding it.
I think you might have to contact Google or the App developer about getting a refund.

Who is the dev for Gameboid? I was able to recover GameBoid 2.4.7 through a nandroid backup and then a titanium backup. But I would like to find an APK so I don't ever lose it again. Anyone have one or know where one is?

If you have succesfully recovered the app through Titanium Backup, take a look into /data/app and there's the apk of Gameboid!
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Gensoid suffered the same fate didn't it? And it doesn't work ie it doesn't load the roms. Gameboid was perfect on my sensation.
All yongzhs apps are going. I own all but nesoid. So unfortunately I have to use a cracked copy now (I can't really ask for a refund for apps I bought a year ago). Sad that Google don't even give purchasers a warning that something they paid for will be basically stolen away from them.

Hey Guys, i'm new to Android so i'm not sure what the best backup\restore program to use is. I want to root my phone, but I'd like to know what the best way to restore everything on this phone would be. Thanks in advance for any help that you can provide!
As if right now the bootloader is still locked so you can't really do backups/restores. They did use the bionic bootstrap which allowed them to do backups but it's a big risk. Your best bet is to just wait. If you do root you can always unroot.

Thats not true. You cant backup the complete rom but you can backup all your data/apps, mybackup is my app of choice for that task.
But if you're just trying to root the phone, it doesnt wipe data so no backup would be needed. Just a FYI. But it is always a good idea to have current backups just in case.

Between titanium backup and mybackup root you should be able to get all the major stuff backed up.

I have always used Titanium Backup to get all of my apps and personal data. It really helps to save time when you decide to constantly rom jump around. Grab the apps and all of the green highlighted items. That is usually your settings, homescreen layouts, and other stuff I believe. Mobilism usually has a newest version of titanium backup to test try.
mybackup root is better for restoring large numbers of apps (for free) because you don't have to acknowledge each app

I have a Skyrocket now but have a new one coming. Its a long convoluted story so I won't bore you with it. My question is since I have everything backed up on Titanium backup when I get new phone already rooted is there any way to migrate using Titanium to the new phone? Thanks I'm still pretty new to this.

Okay the only thing you can restore are missing apps and their data. You cannot restore system data between different phones.
Hello.
I rooted and installed official ICS android on my phone. My phone is originally Rogers, but the ICS version is AT&T. It's official but never release to public or whatever who knows.
So it came with all AT&T bloatware but I was able to disable all except one...
AT&T address book.
Everytime I open my phone contacts this stupid app opens first! It takes like 4 seconds to load then I have to hit OK before I can view my regular android contacts.
I go to apps but DISABLE is grayed out.
What can I do? I am rooted but this is grayed out? Makes no sense?
nobody knows how to do this???
get titanium back up since ur rooted you can go in and delete all the bloat ware

Well,, it depends on what the apps u want to delete. As long as they're not sync each other with your phone system, it's fine to delete them. But if you delete even a wrong single app, u could end up with spamming error messages, or the worst u have to change ur current ROM into a new one because of the damage. I suggest u to really really be careful and do it with some knowledges.. :beer:
