Just rooted and installed Perfect Storm. What app or program can I use to freeze and remove apps as well as dump bloatware?
My original rooting had a pair of apps that did this but when I switched to Perfect Storm, I seem to have lost them.
Any input would be appreciated!!
Titanium Backup, but you must buy the Pro version to be able to freeze and unfreeze! Good Luck....
I actually have titanium pro. I wasn't aware that it had bloatware removal.
THANKS!!!!
I just rooted myself and have TiBU installed. When freezing apps, it will show "Freezing [app name]" and then just sits there with the circle animation.
The app does not respond with the "menu" or "back" softkeys, and only after pressing the "search" key does it go back to the TiBU screen, with the selected app now being "frozen".
It's not a huge issue as the app does it's job, I just don't know if there's an issue when other functionality is needed.
Anyone else having this problem?
Hi all,
I've been a long time user of Titatium Backup but having moved to a more stock based rom i've just started using it to freeze bloatware apps. The apps i freeze are showing up in application manager as disabled so i assumed all was working as it should. However if i click on one of the disabled apps in application manager it gives me the option to "force stop" the app (the button is not greyed out like i would have expected with it being frozen). This is true even after a reboot.
Is this how it should be??
Thanks!:good:
Hello
After spending hours to disable unwanted notifications and all kind of ads in all the apps and phone settings, is there a way to back this setup up..
In case you have to restore the phone, it would be great and useful to have this done without going through all the settings again.
I do not like MI cloud and I disabled my account. Third party or maybe Google? but as I said more for the settings.
Thanks in advance

Google will back up your apps installed through PlayStore with their settings and will restore them. No phone settings though. Titanium Backup is another option (requires root). It can backup all system/private apps with their settings, though restoring system apps and their settings may be risky since their versions may differ from those in the ROM/Gapps that you flash.
Titanium is the go to for me.
Saving system settings on the other hand is not so simple, I've tryed several app solutions but always eventually run into problems.
Twrp is the only effective way to properly back up system settings in my experience.
Ever since I upgraded to Android 10 my titanium backup schedules are not running automatically. I have checked the app settings and set it so the the battery is not optimizing and the app can use battery in the background. The schedule runs fine when I manually kick it off, but it does not start at the scheduled time. I have emailed titanium backup support about this but have not heard back. Has anyone else run into this and know how to fix it? Does anyone have the titanium backup schedules successfully running on Android 10? Or are that alternatives to titanium backup that will backup the apps and data? I am rooted so that is not an issue. Thanks.
Not on 10, still on Pie, but have had trouble with TiBu running a scheduled backup late at night. I was able to improve the reliability by using Tasker to turn the screen on a few minutes before the scheduled run.
Has anyone got to bckp and recover that apps from Android 10? I'm still on a9 and want to migrate to A10. Can I do it using TiBu as the backp tool? I have a Poco F1.

Just to confirm that I have the exact same. No solution found yet.
Schedules not running since Android 10 (OxygenOS). No battery optimizing, working fine when kick off manually.

Pixel 3XL and it works fine provided I remember to manually run the backup after an update or reboot.
OnePlus is aggressive at preventing background apps. OnePlus and other device's methods of killing apps beyond simply battery optimization is discussed on https://dontkillmyapp.com
On TiBu's troubleshooting page
6. Scheduled jobs never run. Why?
If Titanium Backup is installed in external memory and you reboot your device, Titanium Backup can’t re-schedule your tasks automatically after the reboot (due to Android OS limitations). In that case, after every reboot you need to manually launch the app once and then everything will run as planned. To eliminate this problem you can simply move Titanium Backup to internal memory.
If you just installed Titanium Backup from scratch (not an upgrade), please launch it manually once or reboot.

The annoying thing is, that even without Battery optimization, and Advanced optimization turned off, it still won't fire.
I did some tests yesterday.
I made a backup schedule one minute in the future from now and turned off the screen. The schedule was not fired. I assume that battery optimization is not that aggressive, that it is already killed whithin one minute? However, the schedule is fired when the app is opened on the foreground.
So I created a Tasker-task (apparently Tasker does not get killed by some OnePlus-optimization) to wake the screen and open TitaniumBackup. This morning I noticed that the schedule was fired, backup was created.
Not a clean solution, but an acceptable workaroud for me.

Does your device have App Auto-Launch?
You might need to lock TiBu in recents. See if when TiBu is open, then you go to recents, if long pressing the app icon (usually top center) gives you an option to lock the app.

Also locked in recents. But didn't help. Also on my previous OnePlus.
I also had this problem and I eventually reflashed my oos and rerooted and when I tried to restore my backup it never restored my app data properly or at all. And after searching for solutions I saw somewhere that titanium didn't work well on pie or q and that swift backup is working better. I switched and have used it and won't go back

I just installed Swift Backup; first backup is running now.
Like the title says, running the Utilities within settings just closes the settings app; other setting work fine.
What might I have frozen in titanium backup perhaps?
I had gamespace frozen before, and the utilities crashed. I defrosted them, and now it just closes.
Thanks
