In the market there are good applications for android backup.
I made my own script, craft_backup, that allow to backup both applications(apk) and data, saving them in "craft_backup" folder on sdcard.
The restore script (craft_restore), allow to interactively restore this data.
The restore script is divided into phases:
1)Application reinstall( by Wes Garner) : It automatically reinstall all the application in the backup
2)Restore applications data
3)Restore system data that does not cause incompatibility issue: sms,Apn, bookmarks, wifi, user dictionary, call history.
4)fix permissions (by [email protected]).
Prerequisites:
1) Root permissions
Script installation
Download last version from this link and flash it from recovery
Script execution
Not from recovery!
To backup:
Code:
adb shell
craft_backup #You must execute this command on the new shell
To restore (in case of wipe, we have to the repeat the script install operation)
Code:
adb remount
adb shell
craft_restore #You must execute this command on the new shell
Sometimes the restore process may seems to be frozen, simply let it work
After the restore, It's possible to have some force close, no fear. If some applications doesn't work(rare), reinstall it.
Sorry for bad english!
I released a new version, some bugfixes.
The script it's fully functional, no force close,etc
Will check it out, I suggest you show something during the backup process so that it indicates how far along in the process it is. Something like,
Code:
Backing up apps:
Barcode.apk
Maps.apk
.
.
.
APN data

thanx.
The backup process take about a minute, it's short time.
The restore script take longer, and indicates the operation and the datas being processed!

Hmm okay, mine didnt work. It wasnt doing anything. If its quick the status is less important, maybe just:
Code:
Backing up apps...
Backing up settings
Done!
do you mean the restore script doesn't work?
do you exec "adb shell craft_backup" ?
it must be executed in new phone shell, otherwise it does not work, like this:
Code:
adb shell #first
craft_restore #after
Ignore me - it works. I think the adb push went bad. It is working great now.
Thanks!

It lets you choose what to backup.
It allow to backup all applications and applications data, sms, Apn, bookmarks, wifi, user dictionary(user dictionary is in testing)
updated, now it will make the backup of application on sd too.
Pierissimo perchè non fai un'applicazione da caricare sul market? Sarebbe una gran cosa davvero!
Try translate in english
Pierissimo you should create an application by that script
When i will have free time to work on java!!

I wouldn't worry about it... I was more just commenting in the section because I don't want it to be forgotten. I was using titanium backup before I found this, and this is a much better alternative
Yes i got it
Thanx tor the feedback man!
any suggestion for the script for next version?
Hi,
I had tried various backup solutions and even bought MyBackup Pro but there is a certain feature in which I had found to be lack of:-
Refreshing of the device market repository to sync with applications is what am I looking for. When we do an installation (or restore) on a fresh device through adb, mybackup or other apps, the device market repository was not updated, therefore any newer version of these applications would not be prompted off from the market app.
Unless there is a step, option or feature in the Android OS that I had missed. I would really like to see this feature to be implemented on application backup utilities.
3g Xoom with freshly installed BRD 3.1 packages.
3.1 update went well, reinstalled Titanium to restore everything.
Restore seems to go fine, yet virtually every app that gets restored, once run will FC. Every single time.
Any ideas???
Thanks in advance!
Im not sure, but I think it has something to do with the fact that the update gave us a new android version. I dealt with the same problem last night as well. What was weird was that the only app that restored the app+data without FC probkems was Angry Birds.
Restoring the apps only (no data) worked every time though...
Reboot into recovery, Fix permissions, reboot. I had no problems at all after doing this.
When i use titanium backup i'm only showing some xoom functions, not my apps. How do i fix that? Did look for threads before posting btw.
I had this problem also. I tried restoring all my apps + data and got force closes. I uninstalled the apps and downloaded them from the market- they'd work.. Try to restore data to the newly downloaded app and again it would FC. Market doesn't recognize the apps that are replaced via Titanium Backup so I had to download them anyway just so I would be able to stay updated.
Another problem I had- Titanium no longer recognizes that I bought the pro version. I downloaded both parts (titanium free and the pro version- that's just a key...) but Titanium doesn't open all features after downloading Pro from Market. I see donate version only beside hypershell, etc...
It also takes a VERY long time to ask for root rights when starting up... Anyone else?
I will try to restore one app from Titanium and fix permissions as mentioned earlier in the thread. Here goes nothin'....
To the guy having issues finding his apps- try installing the busybox installer from jrummy16 in the market (the other one didn't work for me), install busybox 1.9 from it because the busybox that TB installs didn't work for me (and other people) and then make sure in your preferences that you have the correct folder selected for backing up. The autodetect worked for me.
EDIT: Wow! Fixing permissions solved the FC issue- now I can restore all my apps. The problem with TB not recognizing that I've downloaded Pro version remains however.

I'm having the same issues you are having with TB. It takes a very long time to get root permissions and it will not recognize my pro key either. It says "Reboot / See checkout.google.com". I found a thread ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=13728994&highlight=titanium#post13728994 ) that has mention of what at least one person was able to do to get it working, but it's not working for me. My busybox is v1.18.4, but it's just not working.
Fixing permissions didn't do it for me, but I appreciate the response.
It's weird- the apps and data install fine. I run the apps and they seem to load alright but within 2 or 3 seconds they always FC.
It's very odd....
Thanks for the replies folks!
Titanium has been updated. Everything works great now.
These forums have been invaluable to me. You guys amaze me. If you could help with this, I would be forever grateful.
Phone: Verizon Galaxy S3, rooted, CM10.2
Problem: I have suddenly run into a problem where only some of my apps (1) do not retain any of their data after a reboot and (2) do not stay frozen (I've tried freezing with Titanium, Lucky Patcher, Root Uninstaller Pro, etc.) after rebooting (they do keep their data and remain frozen until I power my device off). ONLY the apps I installed on or after about two weeks ago have this problem (i.e. apps installed before that do not have this problem). So basically every time I reboot my phone apps installed over the last two weeks look like I've never used them (for example, a notepad app that I used extensively before rebooting shows no notes).
Solutions Attempted (without success obviously):
1.) Uninstalling problematic apps, rebooting phone and reintalling
2.) Doing a full factory reset via CWM recovery, wiping all caches, and restoring a nandroid backup that was taken before this problem arose.
Question: Is there anything that I can do to resolve this problem or do I need to get a new phone?
Thanks,
Jenna

That's odd... I use titanium backup myself and they stay frozen unless I defrost them. Do you use the free version or the paid version of titanium backup?

That's odd then. I also use the pro version. Maybe instead of freezing them rename the apk files to .bak instead of apk. That might help

Are there any consequences of changing a file from apk to bak?

Not really no, your not deleting the file, it remains in the system or whatever folder it's in

Thanks again for your help! Ok so all I have to do is go into data/app folder and change the problematic apps name from "xyz.apk" to "xyz.bak"?

So I tried the re-naming of the problematic apps from ,apk to .bak (and then rebooted), but the apps didn't appear in my apps list after rebooting and when I went into the google play store it showed that it was not installed -- am I doing something wrong (I used root explorer to do this)? Or is there anything else you could possibly think of to fix this problem? It's driving me crazy!

Hi guys, as the title says, I'm having problems restoring apps and app data both individually and through batch restore. I've tried changing the SuperSU mounting method, different versions of TB and changed the app processing mode. I've tried it all on the latest version of TB and the version before that. I have no problems backing up apps though. If I try manually installing the apk (after extracting it from the archive TB backs them up to) it installs fine. BusyBox is also installed, USB debugging is enabled and apps from unknown sources is also checked.
I would manually install all the apps, but I want app data restored too and it would be a very tedious job since I have quite a few to restore (some 173 apps) as I just updated to Marshmallow.
Any advice on what I could try next?
No advice, sorry. But I have the very same problem...
Might have been fixed in new update?

TB had an update today for Marshmallow support, so maybe that fixed it? Well, anyway I installed them with adb instead since I needed my phone today. I extracted all the apks from the archives and used a batch to list all my apks in a text file, then added "adb install X:\app dir" to the beginning of each line in the text file then changed the extension to .bat and found that TB would restore app data alone in the batch restore commands.
Code:
DIR *.apk /B>APKlist.txt
A fair bit of effort for all my apps, but I got them all back onto my phone eventually with all the data too. I'm happy now, but I'd still like a solution for future reference.
Todays TB update didn't fix it, at least for me.
Luckily I made the update to marshmallow so far only on a spare N7.

I wonder what the problem could be.... Do you know if there's an official thread for TB on here?
EDIT: I've emailed TB, waiting for a reply.
Same issue. It just hangs when trying to restore on Marshmallow.
I agonised over this for hours last night - turns out that the the fix for me was to switch SELinux to permissive mode.
Install this app: http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=12506 -- open the app, switch to permissive, and give it another go.
I fogt the same problem for hours messing with everything I could think of and this fixed it thank you very much. I know it's a temporary fix until they get the application straightened out but hey its a fix

thanks though
not sure why but if the app is already on the device(older version or with no data) then the restore works
so if i try restore an app(looks like only google apps are not restoring)..then tb just hangs at 0%...
once i manually install the app from the app store., tb stops hanging and restores the data?
maybe this can help someone figure out why restores wont work
I'm having the same issue with Titanium Backup Pro 7.6.0.1:
I backed up and validated user apps and data on my rooted Nexus 4 Cyanogenmod 13.0 Android 6.0.1;
Copied the folder to my SuperSU rooted Xiaomi Mi-5s Miui-8 Android 6.0.1;
Enabled apps from unknown sources;
Set SELinux mode to permissive;
$: su
# setenforce 0
# getenforce
# Permissive
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Updated Titanium's backup storage by searching the device for the Storage folder then 'Reload Application';
Set a filter to list my backed-up user apps from the Nexus;
Set Preferences - App Processing Mode to Auto Direct, and Auto Indirect;
Ran a batch to restore 152 missing user apps with data
Tibu counts through the apps very rapidly, but doesn't install any.
I also made an update zip of apps and data in the new device, and updated it from TWRP without success.
What's the problem?
Thanks
Hello.
I'm having the same issue on titanium 7.6.0.1:
I've tried integrating update system apps into rom but those apps disappear:
-google play store
-android system web view
-smart suite
-talkback
-google text-to-speech output
and the most of my apps are not working now.
I've tried restoring a backup of them I have in titanium backup, but when I click to restore it just don't do anything (it stays at 0% for ever).
My phone is now not connected to my google account anymore now and I can't even add it going to Settings/Account.
Tried rebooting phone but nothing changed.
How do I get them back and the other apps back to work properly?
Thanks.
As I have the Pro version I emailed Titanium support with the problem - but no reply yet.
TiBu seems to work sometimes but not other times and support seems sadly lacking for a paid app; so I copied my issue and a link to this thread to their support.
Suddenly after using TiBu for years on the same rooted nexus 5 phone, 2 weeks ago titanium backup refused to backup saying there is insufficient space. Of course there was plenty of space. I searched the Internet found advice to change the location of the backups, searching and deleting it's .odex file (which I never found or had), etc. Finally, I'm not sure what I did but it finally resolved itself and tibu is working again.
Now, the titanium backup on my wife's rooted nexus 5 running stock 4.4.4 suddenly is doing the same thing: insufficient space.
This cannot be a coincidence! 2 phones both having the identical problem with an app that has worked flawlessly for years! It has to be some update causing this.
I've searched for an .odex file to delete. She doesn't have it. I've changed the tibu default backup directory and back. No help. I don't recall what I did on my phone to fix this. Anyone know why this is happening and how to fix it?
Thanks.
SOLVED
In case others develop the same problem here's the solution.
1. You need to go into SuperSU and unselect the option for namespace separation.
2. Just doing that won't solve it. You need to follow #1 with a reboot.
That solves it.
TIBU worked for years without needing to change that supersu setting. It was the last update that created the problem both for me and I'm sure many others.
Hope this helps.
