None of the processing modes work for me, and I get "parse error" when using the interactive mode. Any ideas?
i was able to restore succesfully
Hmm. Maybe it's because I downloaded straight from my Dropbox. I'll try directly copying the files.
Edit: That did the trick.
Any ideas why I might be getting a problem where I select an App, it says 'What would you like to restore?' and there are no buttons underneath to select App or Data?
Hi all,
Yes it should work with 2.3, I've already got positive reports, including a couple from G themselves
Parse error means an apk backup is corrupted. I'll do some additional tests on the Dropbox download code, since it might be related.
Thanks!

This happens when you have a data-only backup, and you can't restore it because the app is not installed anymore. The typical case is system apps that are gone in your new Rom.
Okay, it looks like I backed them up wrong I guess. Will have another go, thanks.
I tried again, still not working...
Each app has 3 files in the folder. Some apps I can install from the market and then re-apply the data, but others wont (K-9 Mail for example)
Any ideas?
This is very strange, you should definitely be able to restore the data from any backup, as long as the corresponding app is installed...

Indeed, there was a serious problem with the Dropbox download code. That's the last time I'm taking Dropbox's sample code for granted. It's fixed in 3.6.5 (and the problem existed only for *downloading*, not for uploading).
Thanks !
I can restore app data if I manually install the app first. I used to be able to batch backup all my apps and then batch restore them all. Why can't I from 2.2 to 2.3?

Probably something wrong with your source, in this case, the apps and data. I've had no issue at all besides updating busybox when I first launched the app. I just transfered the TB folder from my computer to the phone and did a restore, everything worked fine.

Thanks for the awesome quick fix! Just another reason why Titanium Backup is one of my most loved apps!

I've tried two backups now both the same problem.
Market busybox is 1.17, so I installed it (and ran it), but in TB it still says 1.16?

Am having difficulties too. Restoring from a Desire (Leedroid 2.2f) to a nice new Desire HD (Leedroid 1.51). Have even tried to restore from the original SD card, but Titanium on the HD never sees / recognises the backup made on the desire. And yes, the backup folders in titanium are set to the same name and path (default). The Titanium app versions are different - The newest version is on the HD and I understand that it is meant to support backups from previous versions. I can see all the backup files in the backup folder too. Any ideas or advice would be appreciated.

Wouldn't that be 300 minutes at 1 per minute...?
I think it's 0.1 mins/app, or about 6 seconds each based on your time and apps.

Should I try it via dropbox - Would it make any difference?
Am not using the same gmail address for the new phone - Does Titanium try and be very clever and link the backup to a user or a specific device?

If you reinstall from Market, you'll have to find all the free apps on your own to reinstall them.
Issues including this are why I'll wait till it's unlocked and rooted. Apps like Titanium Backup are too good to live without.

I'm thinking I'm just gonna download apps I use on a daily basis and once root is out I'll restore them all
i just dont get why google dont provide its own app to backup the stuff locally with encryption... every time getting a new phone means losing all data, it is craps like this makes me appreciate the *god forbids* iphone and itune. hopefully the new unlock bootloader allows root to come out fast enough so i can just titanium backup and restore it
Mybackup Pro did work for me, but only just. It restored all the apps but w/o the data.Just an example: It restored my Acrobits VoIP software, but w/o my 3 SIP accounts, which I had to re-define manualy.
I use MyPhoneExplorer, wich gives You ability to backup/restore not only contacts, calendar, notes etc... but also applications. But, as paulmor said, in this app also, You can't backup settings in apps, but only the *.apk files (install files).
See my other post
Hi... Is there any problem if i uninstall stock applications like Maps, Gmail, Talk, etc....???? i never use those applications....
why talking tom cat doesnt work...??? it force closes.......
Yes. You cant uninstall by the way, you need to go to /system/app using root explorer and delete the corresponding apks. Eg. maps.apk. you need to be rooted too

Guys see when I did a restore with my backup pro, all my apps got linked to the market! The apk ones also and when I broke the link they all come under not installed! And my whole app list in the market was erased! How can I get back my list of only market installed apps? Plus even when I factory reset it and install all apps manually, it does not come properly! And even if I install an app from the market the whole thing comes back like that! Please Please Help Me!
likely has to do with market cache, among other things. the good news is, selecting to install them again won't wipe the data
So what should I do to get only market installed app list back! Its very confusing! It linked all my apps to the market on its on!
were you restoring a previous backup from cwm using backup pro? I don't have the app and don't know how it works. if you were, then why not restore using cwm and using titanium to backup your market? this should help save the market data to reuse after using that backup pro app...
Its this simple
Download Titanum backup>open>menu>market doctor>market auto updates
This would attach the links of user app to the Market.
Guys no ur not getting the problem! All my 280 apps apk installed ones and also including market apps have been linked to the market! I want only my market(user) apps to be there! Should I try making a new account!
ok to remove the apps u needo follow the same steps but insteat in titanium backup>menu>market tool>destroy all market links.
then reattach them

I have only market auto updates and market doctor no market tools!
To remove all market link do this
Goto Titanium>"Menu button">Market tools> Select destroy all market links
To reattach
instead destroy all market links select market doctor.
See even when I break market links all apps including user and apk come under not installed! I guess I have to make a new account!

After destorying, try using market doctor the attach the links back. You can try force attaching an app to the market too, go to backup/restore and long press the app and select force attach to the market. It should work

How about this:
Delete all Market links
Remove the google account from the phone
Delete all app data of the market apk
Restart the phone
Open market app
Enter account
See if the my apps list is clean
If it is, restore only the links you want to have to.

I fianlly understand your problem. Here's what you can try. Backup the app using titanium backup, uninstall the app and install it again manually(without data). Then restore the data and check if its under the list. Btw, can you see all your apps? If you can't, try reinstalling.
Cheers

Try this (I really don't know if it works)
1) Settings=>Privacy Settings=>Back up my data and uncheck everything
2) Settings=>Applications=>Manage applications=>Market=>Clear data
If in 1) checkboxs are already unchecked... well, it won't work
edit:
If the apps appear as installed, try to break again the links with Titatiun Backup

No dude did not work! Guess its a problem with the account!
Did you try as I said? I had a similar issue time ago and I couldn't solve it, so I want to know if doing as I explained will solve the problem.
Quoting from here:
If you check this option, a wide variety of your personal data is backed up, including your Wi-Fi passwords, Browser bookmarks, a list of the applications you’ve installed from Market, the words you’ve...

What I think is: you restored the apps, then the market recognized them as market apps and added them to the "installed applications" list. Finally Android backed up that list. So now, when you break the links with Titanium Backup, Android Market shows them as "not installed" because they are in that list and considers them as not installed.
Its ok guys! I made a new account!
Its almost certain that people who change ROMs do so after taking a backup of their apps using Titanium Backup...and after changing ROM, the Titanium Backup has to be downloaded again to restore apps...which is of course a pain in the a$$...So why not include Titanium Backup as a preloaded app in ALL ROMs? It should be standardized...
maybe the devs don't have permission to distribute titanium.
Titanium has a "create update.zip..." function somewhere.
create a flashable titanium zip. flash your new rom, reboot into new rom (i don't think you can flash them on top of each other), then reboot back to recovery, flash the titanium zip.
From within titanium backup you create a flashable zip. This can be flashed from recovery after flashing a ROM.

@ OP : You can download the latest verison apk file of Titanium backup from the official site here & keep it in the root of your SD card, before flashing a new ROM.

Agree, but most dev's include at least ES File Explorer in their ROM's nowadays.

I understand your point BUT considering I don't use it I would have to uninstall it every time I re-ROM'ed my phone.
The ROM makers can not make everyone happy all the time, I'm sorry to say.

I'd rather just get titanium backup from play. I'm getting all my other apps anyway and I hardly consider one app to be a pain to download. Besides it's much easier to remove if I get it from play.

Agreed. I would rather that every custom ROM was built with absolutely NO applications - just the tweaks / settings required for the ROM to boot up and connect to the outside world. Include Google Apps and anything else as zipped add-ons that you can flash if you choose, but I have never used FaceBook or Twitter and hate having to remove them post-install.
Anyone who regularly flashes ROMs will either be happy to download the apps they want each time, will have the .apk files stored on their PC, or will have a Titanium Backup of their apps.

I prefer this way too.
Tried the way to make a flashable .zip which works fine (installed as user app) - but I prefer the fresh dl from play store.

If I'm allowed to I would like to contribute my opinion from the developer side.
First of all, at cm you can forget about the possibility, because titanium is closed source.
At aokp it's almost the same.
At other roms I guess it won't be included as well, because it isn't the only backup solution (if one is added, others want theirs to be added as well) and no dev wants to shoot into his own leg, because it is for sure handy and one of the best backup solutions out there atm, but it can cause many problems, not only when system data is restored from an incompatible version or at worst case from a different rom, also at other apps it causes fcs sometimes when they got restored with tb and the first thing many users do is to blame the rom for it before they try it clean (for sure not all).
I personally always use the built in backup solution from Google and only restore some save games with titanium.
I also agree with keeping the base as clean as possible, everything else is much user dependent and even if you find a base many users are happy with there still will be some that aren't and with keeping it clean it's fair play for anyone for my opinion.

Oops, it seems I got confused. I thought by a titanium zip, it was a backup of all your titanium backup apks. So simply flashing it will restore your apps...
I guess not, so I agree with Dan, it's pretty pointless, and it more cumbersome to remove.
Also Simon, I felt this way too during the Windows Mobile days, as there was no possible way to actually remove the apps from the ROM that the chef cooked it. I used to beg them in threads to release RIMs without apps!

The first time I had seen this option I thought so, too. But I always that it doesn't make any sense to me since I always prefer a clean install of a rom. So I never tried to make an update.zip until I read this thread.
The only time I think it makes sense to do it that way is when you have a limited data plan and don't want to keep your downloads low when you switch roms.
BTW you can install the update.zip as a user app so its easy to remove afterwards. I did that just for research and it works well. But, honestly, I won't do it in the future. As I wrote before I prefer a clean installation and download the needed apps again from the play store.

man wouldn't that be a dream tool for relentless ROM swappers eh?
create a flashable zip of all your user apps, flash new ROM, flash user apps zip, dalvik cache wipe, and you're done restoring everything. hehe
but then thats only a few clicks away from "create a flashable zip of Titanium, flash new ROM, reboot, batch restore missing user apps using Titanium, dalvik cache wipe."
