Install titanium backup without market

I flash roms a lot and there is something I need to find a fix for.
Once the flash is done I boot up and start initial phone setup menu. I have to sign into my google account at this stage obviously. So once that's done the first thing I want to do is restore my apps with titanium, so I go to the market for it, but the market straight away starts downloading ALL my apps at once when I only want TB to download. Only way to stop it is to go through the entire app list and cancel all the downloads, which takes a while. I cant let the downloads go ahead as it's far too many megabytes.
So I want a way to install TB without using the market. I've tried creating the update.zip in TB options and the zip does get created, but when I flash it from recovery it doesn't install.
Can I get the apk from somewhere and install it that way (I know you can push from cmd prompt although I've never tried it), and if so is there a way to do it on the phone only, as I often flash roms when I'm away from the computer.

When you enter your google credentials, it'll ask you if you want to back up your data. Uncheck it. Once your past that screen go into settings > privacy and assure automatic restore is unchecked.
The apks are in /data/app/ by the way.

I'm very familiar with these options. I always leave the option to backup to google ticked in case I ever need it (unlikely), but I always have auto' restore unticked, so I'm pretty sure that the automatic downloading of my apps is because the market app recognizes that I own them all when I sign in with my google account, and not because of auto' restore - but correct me if I'm wrong.
So how would I install TB using the apk. Does it have to be done with my computer? Is there another way. Root explorer would be great, but I'd have to install that the same way, which renders it useless in this particular case. What do all you experienced people do to get round this. Or do you just get through it the same way I do???

You can extract your TB using root explorer and save it on your sdcard. Sometimes its stored in /system/app or /data/app.
Usually roms come with a file explorer, so once you have a rom installed go to its file explorer and install your backed up TB. That's how I usually do it. Hope that helps.

markfavis,
you the man Your post helped me figure some stuff out. Your thanks meter just went up by a point.
I use ns_collab most of the time and I did not realise it came with root explorer preinstalled until you mentioned roms coming with a file manager. I did a bit of research and discovered root explorer is preinstalled with ns_collab. I never realised it was part of the rom as I already own root explorer so TB always restores my copy.
I've already made a copy of the TB apk files, so I reckon i've got this sorted for next time I flash a rom.
Just one more thing to check. The apk files I have backed up are:
com.keramidas.titaniumbackup-1.apk
and
com.keramidas.titaniumbackuppro-1.apk
Is this all I need to

I think you only need one of those files. One of em is the pro version. I only have one file and I install it like a regular apk file.

I've got the pro version - so I think this must be right. If you are on the free version and only use one file then I'm cookin

im using the pro version and i only have one apk file. pro restores faster with hypershell

Help One More Time?

So, I'm on my galaxy s3, I updated It to the newest android, and It was rooted. Whenever I boot it up, It freezes a lot now, and It reboots randomly and frequently. I have a 32 gb Ex. SD Card as well as the internal SD Card. I would like to backup all of my contacts, apps, and app data, and then I would like to root my phone again After that. Also, My google play store will not let me download anything, because I cannot sign into the play store, I just want to learn how to backup those things and completely restart my phone.

Well if you don't have any backup app on your phone and you can't download from playstore, first you have to fix your playstore by clear "data" for the following apps, (Go into settings->apps tab on ALL)
1. Downloader
2. Google play store
3. Google framework services
4. Delete your google account
5. Reboot phone and recreate google account
If you can download from playstore, download "my backup" app, it's great for contacts and SMS (Titanium is the best but not good for contacts and sms).
** If still not able to access playstore, you need to download "my backup apk" and install it.

what about app data

My backup will backup all contacts, sms,mms, all apps and app data and system data (scheuler,calendar, system settings etc..). The nice thing is when you restore, you have option to do full restore, or just certain apps (with or without app data), or you could restore just contacts/sms/mms/scheduler/system data etc.(individually-one by one), very flexible indeed.

I'm curious why when I was trying to help in the other post you would open a new post with the exact same question?

You do for his to. The app he said requires root for app data just like mine. Also why start a new thread, just ask of any other ideas in your first. All this does is clutter the forum

Are you in download mode in your phone?
I assume you are, but just in case. Pull the battery, put it back in, then hold volume down, home and power at the same time. Which file are you stuck trying to flash?

Hi everyone,
I got pico. Unexpectedly made wrong pattern and phone needs to mail and paswords. I dont have mail so null or any other options doesnot work. I try to use setting.db but phone doesnot connect to debuging mode. How to enable it via SDK ?
Thanks,

Go to Settings>Applications>Development and make sure USB debugging is enabled first...

I'm not sure what you are trying to do, but............. try with this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646108
Also I don't remember if you are using fastboot option from hboot menu, maybe there was no need debbuging to be enabled, not sure about that, I always enable debbuging.
Another option is to do factory reset.

Thanks for replies.
My phone locked because of wrong attemp of keylock pattern. Need gmail account and password to open phone. I tried answered call but no solution.
I have to connect phone via ANdroid SDK than changing the setting.db value. After this changeing i can use my phone again without any data disappear.
I donot know using SDK but i see the how to do the chaning setting.db. I only need how to check USB Debuging mode.
Also what is fastboot option? I see the menu that was fastboot and recovery or factory reset selections. But i need my datas.

Are you rooted?
If you're make a nandroid backup first. I'm not sure you can use adb to bypass security.
If it's possible, I think it should go something like this
Insert into secure (provisional, 0)
Sorry messing up

If your rooted.. Keep calm and do a factory reset. Unless your on stock rooted. If that's the case. Flash another ROM

Just a alternate options:
Before a factory reset, make a nandroid backup .
You can extract data from it after you do a reset

Take two to three nandroids just in case.. keep one in your PC. ~check size of nandroids to make sure you have all data (just by your memory )
There are apps to extract data from nandroids
~nandroid manager here in xda
~app extractor

Go to your phone settings, and perform a factory reset that will do.

Use any Explorer( Solid Explorer recommended), go to /data search for that app(say facebook) related files and delete all files you find. Main file that is needed to be deleted is .odex file of that app.
for instance if whatsapp in not getting installed, then files like com.whatsapp.odex , com.whatsapp.apk and all other files related to whatsapp are needed to be deleted.
Install the app again then. It should get installed
If this doesnt solves the problem then you need to do factory reset.

I can confirm this after I've had this problem on both SGS2 and SGS4. The path is root/data/app, though, where you will find the .odex file of your and possibly other apps as the last entries.

deleting all apps data

Hi XDA members
is there a way to delete all applications data in one step without making a factory reset ???
I know I can delete app data for every installed applications
but I ask if there an apk or any way to delete all the applications data just in one step without factory reset .
Thanks in advance

any help ??

any help??

no reply at all

To delete all apps data must make your phone look like reset. Manually without resetting you can go to '/data/dalvik-cache/' and delete everything and reboot in case you have root and a root explorer
