Today I tried to install viper rom. before I did that, I made a backup of my current axiom s rom using twrp. I also used titanium backup to move apps to sd card beforehand cuz I didn't want to reinstall everything. When installing viper I chose the full wipe option. When I rebooted I noticed that phone was stuck on an endless black screen, so I restored with my last backup. problem is now even with the backup I don't have any apps in my app drawer except stock rom apps! I installed a file explorer and noticed app data still present. my question is is there any way to restore these apps?
app icons are still on my home screen launcher bt when I press them they say "application not installed". When I try to reinstall using an apk, it asks me if I want to overwrite. This means the app is definitely still on my phone, just not accessible. Please help!

Have you already tryed to reinstall an app?
Can you find the apps in settings-apps?
And if you can find the apps in settings, try to delete data and cache of the apps.
And have you tryed to wipe cache in recovery?

I just rooted my phone and then installed Infused. I then did a batch restore using titanium backup for all apps and data. Now my whole phone seems buggy and the Android store will not open. I have to keep force closing it.
Does anyone else have these issues?
EDIT: Just noticed that it did not restore half of what it said it did and now the titanium backup program itself is missing. I feel like i'm going to have to reflash all over again and just lose all my stuff.
I got the android store working but my previous problem returned of insufficient space message on my phone when I am trying to download from the android store. I have 1.17gb free on phone, 13gb free on internal sd and 30gb free on external... Does anyone know why the space message?
Do a fresh reflash and do not install from titanium, install fresh from market then do a fresh backup with titanium
infuse 4g "a lot a screen real estate"
I think I'll have to try that and deal with having to replace everything.hopefully that works. I'm brand new to android and have had an iphone since they first came out so this is completely different but much better.

ONLY restore apps with data...not system data

Next time you do a batch restore after installing/flashing a new rom be sure after you open titainium backup that you do not select "Restore missing apps + system data" but instead select "restore all apps with data" . Just be sure that you do not restore system data.
Also after you do a restore, reboot the phone into recovery mode and wipe the dalvik cache and the regular cache then select "reboot now" from the recovery menu.. After the phone restarts let it sit for 5-6 minutes after that I am certain you will have either no problems or a lot less problems..
If only a few apps are giving problems, just uninstall those apps and re install them, then restart the phone.
Hope this helps,
Have a great day.
Thanks for the posts...I am going to attempt to reflash with the rom again and then do just the restore all apps with data.
EDIT: reflashing now...fingers crossed!
Everything seemed to go well..now i'm back to getting the "Error downloading. There is insufficient space on the device" when in the android market. I have plenty of space on my phone and SD card.
Hey, I wondered if any one could help me figure out why about 75% of my apps ont work on a custom flashed ROM?
I have tried Revolution HD and some 2 others in the development thread. the ROMS themselves work perfectly fine but most of my apps force close instantly. when i revert back to the stock ROM everything works fine and my apps all work again. can anyone help???
Thanks
are you wiping everything, including data, and both caches when you install the rom? and how are you restoring the apps? titanium or something similar? or just downloaading straight from the market? if ur using titanium, make sure ur not restoring system settings OF ANY KIND.

i would say the same
make a full wipe, install the rom and backup with titanium market without system settings

Well I've used the revolution HD full wipe.zip which I would have thought wipes everything.
When it comes to restoring apps I've used my backup root and I've only backed up apps and media not system setting. Once I've restored them I've updated them to latest version if possible and tried to reinstall them which also didn't make a difference.
Not sure what I'm doing wrong.....
Thanks for the reply
So, I recently flashed a new ROM and started to experience this problem
As I was syncing my apps back from Titanium, I rebooted my phone and I noticed that every app that was originally saved to phone storage seemed to have disappeared.
A closer look into Manage Applications showed all those apps in a "com..." format. I even took an app that was saved to the SD card that worked and moved it to phone storage. After a reboot, the app had also disappeared and changed to the above format. I even tried to uninstall these apps and reinstall via the market and when i rebooted again, the app was gone and back to the above format.
I've even tried to do a complete clean reinstallation of the ROM using the cleanest stock method possible and it worked to no avail.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
Seems like a bad flash. Try flashing clean again. Try installing a couple of apps from market, and reboot and see if they are still there.

I used this in order to cleanly install the ROM twice with same problem. I uninstalled some of the apps in the "com" format and installed them from the market and when i rebooted the apps were gone, back into the same format as before
I've had it for ages now without any problems whatsoever.
But last night something happened that i cant rightly explain!
I un-installed a useless notpad app, that i recently installed, and after that ALL apps in TBP shows with a warning triangle, even if i do a full backup it just shows the triangle and i cant restore ANYTHING..
It says it got the app and data, but i cant do ANYTHING with it.
I even reinstalled the whole ROM, TWICE without any change in how TBP is dealing with programs..
Complete format of SD card, exct..
Still it REFUSES to let me restore my apps..
Even if do a full backup, followed by trying to restore, it says i have zero apps to restore..

check the titanium backup folder properly on your sd card
it might have got corrupted !

That sounds like a likely possibility. Maybe try a new backup and see if you can restore that? If that works, it would tell you that the original backup somehow got corrupted.
Ok, figured out what was the problem but damn it was annoying.
Under "Filter by platform"
Check EVERY single box EVEN those who where "empty" and presto, backups worked again.
Dunno why default download of the app set it to a few select options.
Seems dumb to me.
I had rooted my S Duos and faced some problem with boot loop.
I flashed new stock after resetting to factory mode and cache clearing. But now when I use clean Master to clean junk file it shows many previous apps like Lucky Patcher, Titanium Backup under obsolete apks menu as NOT INSTALLED. I have Super backup and had backed up my apps before rooting. Now I deleted those backups also but those apps not getting deleted.
I also think there might be Superuser app also available in memory which could be hidden.
Is there any way to clean those files without harming my msgs and contacts.
Thanks
backup everything

backup messages and contacts
to backup contacts press menu button, select import-export and select export to external sd!
for messages backup use this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.riteshsahu.SMSBackupRestore
after these backups, enter recovery mode and select: wipe data/factory reset as well as wipe cache partition...finally reboot device
