Even after using the fix market links option in titanium backup (which finds none missing) the market application still doesn't recognize over 100 Apps on my device. Any recommendations? Running Th3ory of ginger rom 3.51. Hard to know what updates are available if the apps installed aren't recognized by the market.

Nobody else has this problem?
Try going to settings and apps and clearing market data and cache.. it's a stretch but it might work

Thank you for the response. Attempted to do this, however clear data and clear cache are both grayed out. Apparently this isn't even an option with the market app.
Any other ideas?
Anybody? I can't believe I'm the only one with this problem!

I had this problem earlier. When I rebooted the phone they weren't grayed out anymore. After clearing the data and cache my apps showed up
i have this problem too. i will give the above a try and give feedback.
Well, I don't know why, but the only thing that I found that fixes this aside from a reflash is to use the mybackup pro application's fix market links, reboot twice, and all fixed. So, if anybody else has this problem, give this a shot and tell me if it worked for you too. Kinda pissed that titanium backup couldn't fix it but mybackup pro could. I paid for TiBu
The other day, I wanted to flash the GB leak in the dev section. I'm currently on the stock, rooted rom. So, I downloaded TB, free version, from the market.
I went on YouTube, to watch a few video tutorials, and see how everything works. When I felt confident, I went into the batch section, and selected "Backup all apps + data".
There were only 5-6 apps I wanted to backup, mostly games like drag racing, plants vs zombies, and angry birds. I flash the rom, and go back into TB, and restore my apps + data. 2 apps didn't transfer, saying there was an issue with the file. No big deal. They weren't that important to me, anyway. Angry birds went through just fine, as did Grow. The only one that didn't work, that I really wanted to work was Plants vs Zombies. It "restored" successfully, but it would force close as soon as I click to run the game. I tried uninstalling the game, reinstalling it. Running it, to make sure it worked, then go into TB, and restore data only. Same thing. Just force closes right away.
Based on my description of how I backed up my data, and how I restored my data, is there an "a-ha!" moment in there, as to why a couple apps would restore just fine, and one wouldn't restore successfully?
Might be in the way they restore to the differant UI's. You went from Froyo to GB. Might have to just restore the app, without data . Also, IMO I'd purchase the paid version of Titanium Backuo.. Worth every cent. Also very cheap for what you get. Saved my toast more than once. Just my two cents.
Don't have a solution but I can confirm general probs restoring apps I got from Amazon. Recently moved all apps to sd-ext and most apps survived fine but the Amazon apps almost all had to be reinstalled fresh, had force closes after restoring data. Lost my Plants v Zombies progress too

Thanks. This is not really the news I want to hear. We should contact devs, and ask them to add backup functionality into their games.
I've restored amazon apps before. Trick is, install from amazon, open app and finish one level or so, then restore "data only" from titanium. Worked fine for me then.

I've got plenty of apps that do auto backup, there's no reason they all shouldn't.

I actually like and paid for this app but since rooting and installing GummyCharge I don't have it and can for the life of me figure out how to get a working copy. I could use some help.
Thanks,

Did you pay for it through the market or through the app?
Through the App. I can't find it listed on Market. Couldn't find it in V-Cast Apps either.
Try going to the game's website (http://www.gameloft.com/smartphone/lets-golf-2/) and logging in with whatever info you used during the purchase. They should have a record of it.
Even if I bought it through Verizon? It was billed to my Verizon Wireless account.
The developer should still have a record. They had to be the one to bill it to verizon and had to have known what number to bill to

The record of us buying it isn't the problem, the problem is that with the rom(gummy charged) it's taken out and also it's not in the toolbox, I want it too, I paid for it, I got my media hub back from the toolbox, but I can't find let's golf 2 either, maybe I can find an apk somewhere.

I have the exact opposite problem you have. I can't seem to get rid of it. Every time I uninstall it, it reappears in my settings>applications>manage applications list (but not in the apps page where you run everything) I can't actually play it though... and I don't know where the apk would be.
couldn't you pull it from one of the stock roms around. Isn't there a a full odin leak?
You could always just google around and find a lets golf 2 apk file...it shouldn't be too hard honestly.
I did find a copy and installed it. the only problem it didn't fit the screen. I don't know how to pull a file from a ROM.

You're not the only one with that problem lol. I've flashed roms, restored apps, and then go into manage apps and am like WTF! that wasn't on my phone when i created the backup.
I have the opposite problem as you, I want to get rid of it. I uninstall it but every time I reboot my phone it comes back...any suggestions? Already tried deleting it with titanium pro and still came back.

same problem here, thought i deleted it yesterday, but back again today?????
Bump. Just wondering if anybody has figured out how to delete this app - no matter what I try it keeps reinstalling itself. On gummy charged 1.91 EE4, with pbj kernel. I have tried tb uninstall, uninstall from task manager, freeze in tb. It is really annoying. Thanks for the help.

I have a thought. Go into System/App folder. See if it is there. If not look in the Data/App folder. I believe the name is something like com.gameloft.android.GAND.GloftLG2P.ML-1.apk. If it is rename it or delete it.
I deleted it out of the dalvik cache, the /data folder and the /preinstall folder. After a reboot, this is what shows up:

(dropbox as I don't know how to use the forum app to upload photos)
I can't find it in any more folders....it's super annoying...

Did you look in the System/App folder?
Yea it isn't in there. I have never had thus happen with an app before. I deleted my titanium backup of it also. I guess I will just try and ignore it....

permanent delete of lets golf2
Has anyone figured out how to delete this game yet? Like other people the game just keeps coming back after I reboot. I'm sure there are other more important issues out there but if anyone knows how to get ride of this game I'd appreciate it.
Thanks
Update - downloaded root explorer from the market
1) goto preinstall/apps
2) Delete the game
3) reboot
4)Delete from your backup aswell
Looks the game has been permanently removed. found the info on android central post by noobsickle
Hey InfUsers,
I flashed CM9 onto my Infuse formerly coming from ZEUS and find that it runs perfectly! I'm entirely pleased with the performance of the ROM and sincerely thank all involved in making it a reality.
However, I have no way of restoring my backed up apps and data as there is no Play Store preloaded with this wonderful ROM. Usually, I download Titanium Backup through the Play Store and restore everything through there. How can I get the Play Store back?
On the device, I tried using the web browser (I searched "download Titanium Backup" using the Google bar) to download through the Play Store without necessarily having Google Play installed on the device...to no avail. I was given a series of prompts for account login info and compatibility with my device, all of which were handled smoothly, and I finally selected the blue "download" button and received a final prompt that said "the app will be installed on your device in moments" or something to that effect. That screen never changed after I gave it time to process and install. I backed out from that window once I realized the install wouldn't work (though I have no idea why) and went back to the Titanium Backup selection from my Web Browser's Google Search. I clicked the same result again and this time, the button was no longer blue, but green, and indicated that I already had the app installed. I went through this entire process several times after verifying that the app was not on the device (by manually navigating the few preloaded apps, checking the "apps" menu in settings, and searching for it in the Google Bar) again, with no luck.
So, how can I get the Play Store back? Or how can I get Titanium Backup without it?
I'm sorry for starting a new thread if I wasn't supposed to. I really don't know, the old one may be dead as it has thousands of posts throughout hundreds of pages and this particular topic seemed hardly related to the replies. Just really quite stumped on this one! Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!!!
did you flash gapps as the instructions said?

Be careful with titanium backup...you are no longer on gingerbread so your backups (data) are more than likely no longer compatible
But yeah as long as you flash the gapps you should have playstore...

I'm not sure. I'll try to but I'm having a lot of trouble navigating clockwork because of the rainbows, multiple highlighted bands, and the bottom half of the screen not displaying.
There were a lot of different links to downloads in the original CM9 thread, I put 3 of them on my SD card in total after spending a lot of time trying (and probably failing) to decide which ones to go with. 1 of them was definitely Gapps, another was one of the versions of the ROM and the third was, I believe, the updated kernel. In any case, I'll try reflashing again and report back here if I run into any trouble.
Thanks a lot for the response! I'm beyond frustrated with the various problems evident in this process. But I am up for the challenge
If you're wondering why I have the signature below right now that indicates I'm posting from my device, it's because I did install Titanium backup lite from another link in the original search and restored what I could for now. Contacts didn't transfer over (despite the backing to the SIM, SD card, and Titanium) and I'm getting Force Close messages for most Apps.
In any case I'm going to wipe and reflash everything though because of all of the many problems.
I'll gladly appreciate any further assistance As you can tell, I'm really bad at this :-/

Just realized, I'm crazy confused from successfully flashing CM9 to attempting to flash this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1643886) and the "lot of links" I mentioned were probably for this other ROM I just posted the link to. I'm so sorry if I'm confusing you, I confused myself. I'm going to start from the very beginning if I can find just exactly where that is

You're absolutely right. Much of Titanium's backups weren't compatible. I had similar problems when I went from the Stock ROM in December to MIUI to ZEUS all in the same week. Thank you
How horrible at this am I? I tried to flash the other ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1643886) once I realized that there was no Play Store. I panicked lol.

Play Store is packaged separately in gapps (Google Apps). As has been posted, if you go back to the part in the instructions for your rom for flashing gapps, you'll have Play Store. No need to flash the rom again.

Flashed gapps and just as you all said, the Google Apps are back.
Henceforth, I turn my back on Titanium as most of what I wanted to restore is no longer compatible. Web, Messaging, Email, and other stock processes had FCs after I restored everything. Now it appears I have no way to get my data back.
I noticed something, though. When I restored everything in Titanium, some of the toggles in my notification bar reappeared that had been in ZEUS. Prior to the restore, Data, Auto rotate, and a few others weren't there. I guess Titanium somehow put them on?
Last question and I'll do my best to leave you guys alone (thanks so much, by the way), I had backed up contacts to SIM AND my SD card in addition to Titanium. Any way to retrieve from either?
Contacts>Menu Button>Import/Export>Import from SIM Card
^Told me that there were no contacts on my SIM.
How is that possible when I know I backed them up?
And is there any way to navigate my SD card?
Settings>Apps>On SD Card
^Shows me that there isn't anything on the card at all.
Yet when I USB connect to the computer and browse the folders, all my old stuff appears. What's going on?!?!?!
All I really care about getting back is contacts. I tried (and failed) backing up to Google multiple times before doing the SIM backup and Titanium (SD) backup. But if there was a way to restore the toggles in the Notification bar (without risking the FCs again), I'd be very interested.
I thank you all so much and I'm sorry for over complicating everything.
So I have a rooted Asus Transformer (TF101), and I have several games on it that I've made quite a lot of progress in. I was wondering if there was some sort of app or something I could use to back up the save games/data across device reformats. When I went from JB 4.2 to JB 4.3, I thought I had used Titanium Backup correctly, and ended up losing nearly 2 months of progress in several games. Does anyone know if I need to have the Pro version of TB or if I just used it incorrectly? Or even another alternative?
I used Titanium backup (free) several times and never had any issue. Make sure to save apps+data and if device is rooted it should work. Some software for pc (such as Moroboro) can backup data but it don't always work, and this one is pretty invasive.
You can just backup the app data with google in sync settings
I use titanium also
Hmm... I'll have to give it another go after work and class then, and check out the google syncing, thanks for the replies.
another question, somewhat related:
Is it possible to use TB to restore saved data to a non-rooted device if I decide to switch the games to something else?
