[Q] Titanium Backup issue - rooted i9505 - General Questions and Answers

Hi all.
First of all sorry if this is the wrong forum - but I'm unsure if its app relate, ROM or device.
I have a Uk S4 (i9505) on the 3 network which is rooted and usually running 4.4.2 TW roms. I noticed this issue last week when trying to freeze an app and its now the same after flashing different ROMs (currently Echoerom 38)
I've always used Titanium for app backup and restore and after flashing a new rom will freeze/delete things I donts use (S Health, Text to speech apks, live wallpaper pickers, etc)
Now I've noticed these apps dont show in Titanium`s list at all - purely user apps both installed and not installed - plus some ROM/kernel specific apps (like Stweaks/CPU spy)
Any `bloatware` apps aren`t listed at all so I cant touch them - they sem to occupy the system/priv-app folder.
Is this a normal thing for 4.4.2 or is there a workaround - other bloatware freeze apps seem ok.
Ive made sure there are no filters in the app view blocking things and reinstalled Titanium from fresh and even tried different Superuser apps to no avail. just to give an idea Titanium shows 251 apps listed but after clearing the cache/dalvik in recovery the system updates 400+ apps !
Any thoughts.
Cheers
Robin

TiBackup..Apps reappearing?

P6210 - Strange issue with Titanium Backup after upgrading to ICS

I have run into a strange issue with Titanium Backup and integrating update system apps into the system rom. Ever since I upgraded my P6210 to ICS and re-rooted it, the Play Store and Titanium Backup seem to be at odds over my updated system apps. Recently both Peel and Google + have been updated through the Play Store. Both of these apps are system apps on my system. After their update, Titanium Backup recognized that they were newer versions and did the proper backup to my SDCard. I then went to the batch listings in Titanium Backup and saw that both apps were listed under "Integrate updates of system apps into ROM" (which they should have been). I ran that batch update and as far as I can tell Titanium Backup properly performed the integration. The apps were no longer listed on the sdcard and Titanium Backup no longer listed any apps that needed to be integrated into the system ROM. The apps also worked without any problems. Here is the strange thing though. I can go back into the Play Store and it once again shows that those two apps need to be updated on my tab. The version numbers between what the Play Store says needs to be updated and what is installed on my tab are identical. If I just do the update but do not perform the integration into the system ROM, the Play Store shows that I have the most recent version installed. Once I do an integration though Titanium Backup, the Play Store will once again tell me I need to update these system apps. This only started happening after the upgrade to ICS. Everything worked perfectly before the upgrade. Has anyone else been experiencing this? Any suggestions or ideas?

[Q] Problem Restoring System Apps With Titanium Backup Pro

Titanium Backup Pro will not restore system apps.
Samsung Galaxy S6 SM-G920T
Titanium Backup 7.1.2 with Pro
Stock rooted with CF-Auto-Root
Tried SuperSU v2.45 - v2.46 - v2.49
The Problem
I made backup of apps that I would like to remove from the phone. I did a test by removing Amazon App. When I try to restore app, Titanium hand at restoring app, spinner will go for as long as I leave my phone on. Kill Titanium, reboot phone and I get a toast popup that Amazon has stopped. Amazon app icon in app draw, I touch to start app and get the same toast popup that Amazon has stopped. Start Root Explorer Pro navigate to system/priv-app Amazon app folder is not there. Navigate to system/app Amazon app is located here, but not in a folder and not with any support files. I tried this with a few other apps and it does not matter if they are located in system/priv-app or system/app same result.
I have search and found older threads that suggest changing Application Processing Mode to Interactive, but no mode changes have helped.
I also tried changing Mount namespace separation in SuperSU.
When applying these changes I have reboot the phone.
Any Ideas, please help.
Thank You

Can I get a Confirmation From Someone.
Hey, im on G925F and I have the same issue. I have USB debug activated/on, rooted, tried various tricks and switching the way of app processing in TB and none worked. I cannot restore previously backedup system apps at all
same problem here!
also, converting a user app to a system app fails the same way!

I too am unable to restore system apps backed up by Titanium Backup with Titanium Backup. I'm running the latest version of Titanium Backup (Pro), stock KitKat 4.4.2 on a Samsung Galaxy Light (SGH-T399N), rooted with SuperSU 2.50+Pro. The restore process never completes but will run forever without any error messages until I kill it externally with Task Manager. Converting a non-system app to a system app behaves the same way...tries forever without completing. From the number of earlier posts in this thread it's obvious I'm not alone. The only suggested solution I've encountered that seems applicable to my situation is to replace SuperSU with Superuser. I'm loathe to do that and hoping the problem is something else.
Same here, already tried Indirect App Processing but no help. Had this problem with my old Xperia V running CM Rom never figured how to fix it
Titanium backup is not supposed to be used to restore system apps. If I'm correct even the developer of the app says not to restore system apps with Titanium.
I have used Titanium backup for years to restore purchased apps but never system apps. Never had a problem reinstalling backups of apps.

Apps from Stock to Cyanogenmod

Hi. This is my first time installing a custom ROM, CM 12.1 in this case. I'm really liking the ROM and I would like to stay with it, but my main problem right now is that I can't restore the apps I backed up using Titanium Backup. Is there a way I can restore my user apps to this ROM?
I even have many linked apps with Link2sd and none of them showed with CM (I recreated mount script, rebooted and nothing).
I know restoring data through different ROMs can cause problems... but I would like my user apps, I don't need to restore system apps or data.
Another question is, can I use some moto apps (camera, gallery, FM radio basically) with CM? I really like them, especially the camera interface, and I don't like the camera that CM has.
Thanks for any answers! Sorry if it's a noob question, but I've managed to restore full backups in the same ROM, and I don't know why now Titanium Backup doesn't even shows my apps now.

Sadly you may just have to re download your user apps from the play store, I can't dig too far into the issue because TI is always annoying.
Thanks a lot!! Really nice to have moto camera and gallery back again. And for the apps, I made a zip with all mi apk and restored them later, but thats better than nothing!
Thanks again.
Glad ya sorted it!

ODIN & TWRP - flash and restore - why no wipe?

Hi all,
Sorry for asking maybe very-noob-like-question but this is really bothering me.
So!
Samsung galaxy note 3 - kitkat 4.4.2 stock rooted + xposed + twrp.
Today I have lost sdcard0 - it was empty when accessing it through ES Explorer BUT data was all there when going through TWRP.
Tried to restore nandroid TWRP backups - did not solve the problem.
Therefore I have flashed stock 4.4.2 through ODIN. To my surprise all apps that I ran till the ODIN flash were still present plus stock apps that were included in stock rom have been installed (samsung apps, knox, etc etc).
WHY?!
Then I have restored System back up through TWRP from Feb this year - yeah bit old but - this action removed apps that I haven't had installed - ie. samsung apps, knox, kids mode etc etc; and also this action has restored my all settings - great! Saved me lot of time of deleting bloat and restoring my settings.
My questions:
- how come odin didn't wipe entire user data and simply added on top of existing config?
- how come TWRP system restore did remove apps that were added with ODIN stock rom, ie samsung apps, etc?
- any reason why sdcard0 became empty in OS?
I'm just really curious of the above scenarios..
If any one could answer my question - I will be very very grateful!
Thank you for reading this!
