Hello everyone, I restored the first backup of my LG-P999 through cwm to stock. I had already installed titanium backup after rooting my phone and before flashing roms. And now that I am back on this stock rom none of the apps i used to have running cm7 will show up in titanium backup. Is there a folder I could extract from my cm7 backup to get them all back? Also just curious because I will be getting a new phone soon and how I am going to get all my apps back.
Thanks in advance

In titanium under preferences go to backup folder location it has an option to automatically locate a backup folder or if you know where it is you can find it. Cm7 uses sdcard as primary storage, stock uses internal so it confuses titanium.

When I restore my apps with titanium backup how do I get market to recognize them as installed so I can get automatic app updates?

hmmm, i think it does automagically. I have restored my apps 2-3 times and I did not have to do anything special.

Rather than making a new thread I'll post in here.
I was flashing some roms and backed up my apps at the wrong time in turn losing a lot of saved points in games and app settings. Can I just go back into one of my recent nandroid backups and copy the titanium backup files somewhere to replace the ones I don't want in my current rom? If so which ones?
The files your after are in the Titanium backup folder.

Lol this is obvious but which files do I need? There are several options in the nandroid folder like system, recovery, cache etc but their all img files? Again, I only have the files in my nandroid backup. My Titanium is setup to replace old files when a new backup is performed..
Thanks for any help in advance..

TB saves its stuff on the SD card, which is untouched by the usual Data/Cache/Dalvik wipes for a new ROM. Your most recent backups should be present no matter what.

OK lemme give some more info to help. I just got finished flashing my GB rom to replace my FR with all my settings widgets etc.. Once I had all the apps re-downloaded and thought I was ready to use titanium backup to restore all of my app data I accidentally did a backup instead, in turn REPLACING all of my original settings, saved games etc with just new games and all default bs..
So now, my ONLY option is to restore a backup I had previously when all my settings and games were where I liked them and then do another titanium backup to replace the new stuff. THEN, I have to restore my current GB nandroid to get back to my current ROM and then use titanium to restore my old stuff. The issue is finding which part of the titanium file I need from my Froyo backup to replace my GB backup.. Does that make sense lol?
I think I may figure it out but its trial and error.. I'll report back when and if I get it, just kinda sucks trying to do all this with root explorer and flashing everything over and over while at work..
If I'm doing this wrong please tell me but I am not seeing the easy way out in all of this..
You've got it right, do it just like that. Backing up / restoring Nandroids doesn't affect the SD card, but if you're paranoid you can unmount it. Restore nandroid, backup with TB, restore other nandroid, restore TB.

Sorry the title doesn't really explain it to well. I'm looking for an app that I can use to backup my applications with their data, that i can then restore after flashing CM10 to. I've tried Titanium and one other whose name escapes me. They'll backup/restore from ICS to ICS, but not to JB (backups do not show listed). Any suggestion would be appreciated.

Titanium Backup has worked perfectly fine for me. Are you sure you're not doing something wrong?

Not really sure what I could be doing wrong. I've run it as a batch job backing up all user apps, tried it with all user apps + system data. I've also made its own folder on my SD card and point backups to go there.
The bigger issue is the apps themselves get backed up, but none of the stored data with the apps do.. not sure if there's an option I need for that (guess it'd be cache?)

Check out this guide if you haven't got it to work out yet.
If that doesn't work either, just say something and hopefully we'll figure out what's going on!

Someone yesterday in another thread said that Titanium backups are saved to the sd card for touchwiz roms and for AOSP roms Titanium Backups need to be saved to the internal sd card. Could that be the problem?

I've used Titanium pro from ICS to JB with no issues. I don't do batch restores though, I'd prefer to re-download the app from google play then just restore the data. That way you have a clean install. I've had issues on other devices doing a batch restore. It's a little slower this way, but worth it to avoid FCs.
You have to remember that if you set the backup to the extSD then switch from ICS to JB the name of the extSD changes and you have to go into preferences and choose the backup location. That may solve the issue for you
I think the issue here is not fully understanding how titanium backup works. Whenever a full wipe is done/new rom installed and you reinstall titanium through the play store, it will show only the apps and data that are currently installed on that particular rom. Push the batch button, let it calculate scenarios, and your backed up apps and data will then appear along with the new rom's goodies. Hope that helps.

So I just went from TW to Slimbean and I had backed up my apps with Titanium Backup, but when I reinstalled TB it doesnt have any files pertaining to app backups. I formated system and did clean install of slimbean, but I thought TB backedup to the SD...? I am wondering if maybe 4.2 just created a new folder for TB so its empty... something to do with the /0/ thing? Any help would be appreciated..

Did you remember to change the Backup folder in Titanium Backup to the /mnt/extSdCard directory when you installed it? If not it would have defaulted to the internal SDCard.
Unfortunately I did not do as such... Is there a way to navigate my nandroid to pull that tb data? Or do I have to revert back to the nandroid and pull the data off there?

Menu/Preferences/Backup Folder Location/Detect/Whole device. This will make TB scan the entire phone for your backups. Your data has been moved inside the /0 folder and has a symlink to /data/media cuz of AOSP 4.2.2.

Turns out there is actually an option to extract backups from a nandroid... So I did that and it worked. All is well.

So I got a little bored of CM7 and decided to flash something new. I went with weapon G2X. Installed fine except for some reason when I am in the ROM itself my file manager does not seem to detect anything that I have on my SD card. I know it's still there because when I boot into recovery I can see them there. I side loaded my Titanium apk (thankfully I threw it on my pc for safekeeping) but it will not allow me to restore any of my apps. When I click on "batch actions" I get an error saying mnt/sdcard/emmc/titaniumbackup cannot be found. In recovery mode I mounted emmc and my sdcard with no help at all. What else can I do? I would really like to get this rom working but if not I'm going to restore from my cm7 nandroid.
So I realized that my TiBa location is actually sdcard/titanium backup not emmc. So in the preferences portion of titanium I changed the backup folder to sdcard/titaniumbackup. But that didn't help my issue. Now all I have is "mnt/sdcard/titaniumbackup cannot be accessed. Even though when I chose the correct location TiBa is TELLING ME that i have 69 backups in that folder. Any ideas?????????
**Edit- Not sure why but TiBa eventually recognized by backup directory and am now in the process of restoring all my lost applications. Any mods can delete the thread. Sorry.
CM7 and stock based roms use different main storages. CM uses the external one while stock uses internal, so when you did tibu it changed its default location when changing roms.

OK so I am quite new to the rooting and restoring side of titanium backup. I have installed a new ROM and re-downloaded TB. When I go in to the restore part of TB nothing showed up for back ups. If I go into my file explorer I can see the TB folder and all of the .zip files for each app. I have put the folder on my SD and on my Internal memory and still nothing showes up to restore. PLEASE PLEASE HELP I can not find anything on my issue and don't know where to go from here. Thanks in advance!

I expect you just need to go into TB's settings/preferences and set the folder to where your backups are.
