So I just installed TweakStock and I would comment on how awesome it is but I'm more concerned about the fact that Titanium won't restore the data for my Go SMS Pro/PowerAmp(so i lost all my texts and my music playlists). The weird thing is, it restored data for most apps but theres a select few that just wont restore. It's become very problematic and I'm hoping it's not just me.
I'm not familiar with Go SMS Pro, but if it's like ChompSMS and some other replacement apps, it still uses the phone's built in SMS database, and not its own. If so, SMS data is not backed up with app data. Chomp has a backup function of its own. Go may have something similar.

Still isnt explaining why PowerAmp wasnt backed up :/
Did you back up all before flashing?

Yeh, I chose the option to back up all apps with modified data. If you check the date the last backup was made it says 12/25/11 so I'm sure everything was backed up correctly but it just doesn't want to restore the data :[
Try flashing a different rom and seeing if it does the same thing. If it does, it just didn't back up your data.

ill try that...
So I tried flashing TweakStock in Odin this time(originally did it with CWM, coming from Infinity) and it didnt work, my messages/playlists still wouldnt restore... So I flashed back to the original ROM i was on, EXT4 non-TSM Infinity and alas, to no avail. I tried 3 different versions of Titanium Backup, all 3 with and without Pro just to be sure(there were problems with Pro on Infinity), i tried restoring it manually and i tried batch restoring and of course i can't get my messages back. That's the biggest loss, I had thousands of text messages that are apparently gone forever. Makes me want to throw this phone at a wall :/ oh well

Did you make a CWM backup before you flashed Tweakstock? I suspect it may be too late for the text messages. You may want to try to install Go SMS on a blank ROM, send some texts, manually create a backup with Titanium, flash a blank ROM, and try to manually restore the backup to see if it is even possible using Titanium. My standard procedure to to create a backup in CWM before change ROMs. I use version 4.0.1.4. I know there are several apps that can back up texts. I suggest trying to use one to see if it is capable of backing up texts from Go SMS if you find that Titanium is not capable of backing up the texts.
Sorry to hear about the restore issues. There have been one or two instances reported where titanium backup didnt play nice when restoring certain apps data. At this point it seems as if it's a TiBu issue - I've even had problems with restoring app data on stock ep4d. If there is app data I'm interested in keeping, I've found more success with doing a CWM backup prior to flashing and then using the advanced restore > data feature.
I have Titanium Backup pro and am unable to restore apps. It scrolls across but does not actually install any of my apps. I have had the issue across 2 different Charges and 3 different roms.
Not sure what causes it, but the only way I have been able to resolve is by going back to the old manual install option that makes you confirm each APK before installing.

This ^^
When I first switched from froyo to gingerbread (I think I didn't switch until EP3H) thats what I had to do. The batch restore would sort of work on some apps, but it would often freeze up while doing so and require a restart to the process. I have become lazy since then and tend to cwm advanced restore data, especially if Im switching around on things using the same base build.
since when does TB back up text messages? I have never seen it
For whats it's worth I had no problems restoring all data with tweakstock and tb.
I've had no problems either. I had issues with EP3, and I had issues with Infinity, but not with stock EP4 or TweakStock

Not with the stock messaging app. It MAY back up if you use a 3rd party app if messages are saved as app data.
I had this problem several times (TiBu just breezing through the restore without actually restoring). Usually, I updated SU, then restarted my phone, then trying again. Maybe you could try flashing imoseyon's kernel, installing better busybox (Terminal -> su -> install_bb), etc and trying again. I always get it to work eventually.

I don't use a 3rd party sms/mms and I always get mine back. I make sure to backup and restore [SMS/MMS/APN] Dialer Storage and [SMS/MMS PREFS]Messaging.

I back up the Dialer Storage every time, and that takes care of my messages (both text and MMS). I haven't backed up (or noticed, for that matter) the Messaging item. I'll try backing that up as well and see what else it gets me.
One other thing I have used is a program called SMS Backup & Restore (from the market). This worked well, although it can't back up your MMS messages. If you're the kind that likes to see your call history as well, they also have a sister program that will back up your entire call log.
I would still prefer to have Titanium back up my messages, not just because of the added MMS backups, but because the backup and restore become part of your batch process.
My phone is rooted, on jellybean (CyanogenMod 10). I always do a fresh wipe on my phone before installing a new rom and kernel. The weird issue I come across is sometimes after you finish the first setup steps, all the apps start restoring by themselves in Google Play, but other times I have to download System Tuner and restore all the apps I backed up. A few times also after wiping my phone and setting it up again, the apps complete settings were backed up and the login information is already filled out and my preferred settings.
Bump.
There's a feature built-in (available in the settings) where the apps & settings are backed up to Google's servers. I'm not sure exactly how much data is backed up, but, obviously, sideloaded apps & their data are not backed up. Personally, I've never flashed a new ROM & had my stuff magically restored before my eyes, but I suspect that if you waited long enough, the restore would take place.
The closest I've had is when I did a dirty flash & didn't clear my dalvik cache. Strange things can happen, then.
Yes in Google play there is a setting to restore apps automatically. For some reason it is intermittent on when it chooses to work. If your looking for a way to backup and restore your apps I would use titanium backup. It works great.

Hey Guys,
i have a nexus 5.. after nearly two weeks i dropped it and the display broke. Got i repaired now and everything works fine.
Rooted it again, got titanium backup on it again and restored all my apps and system settings.
BUT:
Now i can not activate my bluetooth! If i try to slide the ON/OFF switch to ON, it stays there but remains gray.. back to the home screen and back into the settings and its on OFF again.
I have tried to restore the Bluetooth share with titanium backup but the restoring never finishes..
There are the following files in my titanium backup folder:
com.android.bluetooth-1f63c1104670ea1d97c0ece5097d221e.apk.gz
com.android.bluetooth-20131216-114345.properties
com.android.bluetooth-20131216-114345.tar.gz
com.keramidas.virtual.BLUETOOTH_PAIRINGS-20131216-114345.properties
com.keramidas.virtual.BLUETOOTH_PAIRINGS-20131216-114345.tar.gz
Is there any possibility to "reinstall bluetooth"?
Thank you for your help..

Restoring system apps is always problematic. Did you try clearing data of Bluetooth Share? Or is it not even installed?

I think it is not even installed.. i have also found out the the sync option "contacts" is missing under my google account..
so you know what? Fç%& it... i do a full factory reset and only backup my most important apps (and nothing from the system..)
i hope this will fix the bluetooth problem!

It has fixed the bluetooth problem and the contact sync is there too.
So what i have learned out of this: nex time i will do a full backup with adb and not with titanium backup.
Have a nice weekend guys
Just a heads up. I have had this problem on stock as well as SlimKat. The bluetooth will sometimes get stuck on for me too. I found if you go into Bluetooth Share under Manage Apps, then force stop it, it'll fix the issue.
I had my first scheduled Titanium backup run last night, but when I woke up I found that my Wi-Fi and mobile data connections weren't working (even though they still displayed as connected/functional). Has this happened to anyone else? What could be going on here?
(Rebooting fixed things, but I'm still curious as to why this happened.)

Never use titanium backup for system apps. Only use for purposes of restoring the user apps you download and such. By scheduling the system apps/etc, the program actually breaks those apps/programs functions by restore/backup. Especially with titanium backup, refer to other threads that have had similar issues to see as well.
Since Android 6.0, I have used TB successfully several times to restore apps. For some reason today TB just hangs on restoration. The little symbol keeps spinning. Any suggestions?
Maybe someone can verify that they can restore missing apps to stock ROM using TB and what version of TB & SU they are using. I currently have TB 7.4.0 and SU 2.65.
I've had that problem from time to time. I'm using 7.40 also and I wrote the developer a couple of months ago about that problem. I never got an answer and forgot about it since it doesn't happen that often. I usually go into my apps and force stop TB to get out of it. By any chance it isn't an app on the SD is it? Eventually the app will restore if I play around with it.
Try restoring the app alone without the data then going back and restoring just the data.

Apps are on internal storage, backups are on external storage. Restoring app alone did not work. Reverted TB back to 7.3.0.2 and I can now restore deleted apps.

I reported the repeatable issue to developer including that there is no issue with 7.3.0.2. Got the form e-mail that they will get back within 48 hours. Never heard a word since. Just wish I could disable the playstore notifications of the update to 7.4.
