I tried downloading and installing titanium backup from the market. Gives me an error.... insufficient storage. My device is rooted and has CWM 5.0.2.7 installed. I have tried rebooting in recovery, wiped dalvic cache and reflashed with p6800_recovery too. I have used my root explorer and deleted com.keramedius.titaniumbackup, but to no avail. Plenty of space in my system memory and sd card too. Any tips on solving this problem without a factory wipe?
Try modifying your platform.xml as per this post.

Did that too. I can install all other apps. Just not titanium backup. Is factory reset the only thing that'll work? That is one thing I don't wanna do.

I can't find app called Downloads in Play store.
I ve tried downgrading google play store.... doesn't help at all.
You need to go Settings - Applications - Manage Applications - All
Clear cache and data on both:
Download manager
Downloads
If this fails, I am out of suggestions, I am afraid.
Good luck!

I was having this problem on my MIUI ROM, it's generally caused by installing a new ROM without wiping.
TB was originally installed in my device before flashing MIUI update (not as system app), and after flashing the update without wiping data, i had "Titanium stop working" message, so i tried to uninstall it using MIUI App Manager, and any attemp of reinstalling it using google play or .apk file failed, i always got this problem "insufficient storage space", although I could install any other app.
I tried to go to /data/app and i couldn't find the .odex file, i tried /syste/app/ with no success, i tried wiping dalvik cache twice, restarting my phone and searching for any additional TB file in my sd card, and deleted them (there was an .odex file in Lucky Patcher folder). Well nothing happened.
After 1 hour of trying, i restarted my phone, went to google play and voila, magically it was successfully installed!
I don't know what did the trick, but i guess deleting the .odex file from Lucky Patcher folder fixed the problem
Hope i helped any googling user who is having this problemI
where is the lucky patcher folder? cant find it anywhere...whats it called
p.s. i have root explorer and have access to all folders
I think the problem arise when u uninstall off market apk under google play,
( which i did ) thus system got error. Anyway wipe was easier route. ^^

I had the same problem with my Photon and solved as: I had installed Lucky Patcher.Launched it.Then opened "Troubleshooting" menu.The last step, i clicked "Remove fixes and backups".That fixed it.Hope it helps.
Maybe a bit late for this. I've had a similar issue. I found that going into Data/App with a root explorer and deleting the .ODEX file of the app your trying to install. It then updates through market without the error message.
Someone please help. I have Titanium Backup instilled, but whenever I try to make any backup I get the "Backup failed: Insufficient free storage space" error, even though I have 25 GB free. I tried to delete the Odex file that was mentioned above, but it's not there. Even if I uninstall and reinstall Titanium Backup, I still get the same error when I try to create a backup. I saw someone mentioned Lucky Patcher. What is that and where do I find it?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Hi everyone,
I have been wondering if there's a way to backup my personal dictionary from the stock Android keyboard which I always have to populate every time I flash a new ROM or an update that needs a full wipe. (Android doesn't have a Filipino dictionary yet.)
I'm thinking maybe one of you guys know if there's a file I can pull from the system folders of the ROM using root explorer, and then restore later on whenever I clean flash a new ROM in order to preserve my personal dictionary.
I've tried backing up the keyboard app before, then restoring app data only using titanium backup, but that didn't work.
Hope you guys know how a work-around for this. Thanks in advanced!

Haven't really been able to test it yet since I haven't changed ROMs yet. Maybe when AOSP JB ROMs start popping up, I might try other ROMs, but for now, I'll stay with what I have.

The list under the "Backup/Restore" tab in Titanium Backup shows an entry "User Dictionary" as a system app, if this is what's being referred to. I reckon if you backup everything, it should be listed there.
I use GO backup
It does the dictionary too and also has the easy UI i.e very easily understandable as compared to others
Is there some solution??

Is there a way to "unpack" it from whole backup rom using win7, instead of manually reinstalling it on device and extracting it? I think I used cwm for backup.

Hi There,
You can use Go Backup, Titanium Backup Pro
OR
download MOBOROBO and connect your device to your pc and take backup.
This is now solved, to anyone else with the same problem the following were most likely to have fixed it:

Original problem
I have been having problems restoring apps with titanium backup and so far no one has been able to find the solution, I couldn't find a solution on google and titanium backup support isn't responding to my support request. Anyways, I'm trying to restore apps from pandasa123's unofficial cyanogenmod to matrixzone's unofficial cyanogenmod. When I restore on the free version it opens install window and then when it says installing it changes to app not installed. Suspected problem apps are Bloons TD 5, Drunken Wrestlers and Star Wars: Commander. When I had the free version, it seems after trying to restore drunkin wrestlers and it says app not installed then all the apps after say app not installed except a few like google authenticator. I tried again with the paid version and it still got stuck restoring things like drunkin wrestlers, bloons td 5, star wars commander. I have already tried the troubleshooting steps in tibu and have tried multiple times to restore. I have also tried older versions no luck. I could successfully restore those apps when I went from 4.4.4 to 5.0.
Also would there be any work around to manually restore the apps? Any other backup apps that are good?
Device: Samsung Galaxy S3 SGH-I747M

Anyone?
Please, anyone? I don't want to be stuck with this rom.

And one final tip that i use.........when setting up a ROM from scratch, do not sign in to the Google account until AFTER you have RESTORED all the user Apps with Titanium as the Market will try to restore all your apps from your Market user history, which is OK but will conflict with your BATCH RESTORE using TItanium Backup.

Thanks, I don't restore any of my apps from the play store (unchecked "All Apps" in the restore screens on initial setup of the rom) but do have some games connected to Google Play Games. Would this solution still possibly work?
It still doesn't restore properly and it seems to also get stuck on a new game I downloaded called LogoMania too. I didn't add a Google account at setup until I had to go to the play store to download tibu and tibu pro but made sure auto restore was off in settings. I also unchecked the malware detection in google settings and saved the apps to my internal instead of external sd but still no luck.

So in order to only restore data, I would:
1. Install the app from Google Play
2. In tibu, do a batch restore and select "data only" instead of "apps+data"
Is that correct?

Yes.
One important step before you restore is the verify the backups. Go into TB->batch->Verify Backups. See if everything is okay with no errors.
Also, remember some apps may not be compatible with your upgraded Android version.

I verify every time. Also, I'm on android 5.0.2 already trying to get to another 5.0.2 rom I believe.
One more thing I forgot to mention: if you want to recover an app, try to recover it without data. Recovering data for apps between CM versions, or even app versions, can cause headaches sometimes (especially Google apps).
Also, TB has a website with help. Maybe there is an answer in the docs to help you.
Thanks guys, it worked!
I've been using RobbieL811 Uber rom for quite a while but now development seems to have come to a halt. A couple of posters say move to a new ROM so I tried Resurrection Remix. I don't have time to move my data (Inc save games that don't cloud save) individually, so I Googled the best way to do this. I got a load of 2013 posts about restoring the data partition from the nandroid backup. After installing RR and restoring the backup of the data I just get boot freeze. Is there something I'm missing?

I don't know who said to restore a data backup from a nandroid, that's wrong, it's a huge no-no. The data backup includes all data from the ROM, not just apps, so it's attempting to restore incompatible system settings and stuff like that. You can just use Titanium Backup to make backups of your apps and then restore them after you've flashed your new ROM.

Exactly what did you do? You need to provide a detailed account of everything that lead to this point. What did you restore with Titanium?
I did two over the course of the night, the first I restored everything, including system apps like dialler, Gmail etc. But this broke it. So I wiped, installed, and restored only missing apps and data. Still broken on reboot.

You can't restore system apps/data, that's why it was borked the first time. It's also possible that you restored system/app data the second time too. Only ever restore user apps.

After using titanium to restore user apps and data, some apps just force closed on opening unless I removed the data then it worked. Decided to restore from backup and give it up until 6.0 rom appears.
Make sure you start with a clean slate. Factory reset and flash new Rom before restoring any backup. Are you good up to that point?
I don't know what you're doing wrong man, I change ROMS every now and then, and I just backup my games and apps with Titanium Backup, install new ROM, and restore my apps, always works unless you mess up real bad

i have never had that issues on 5 different phones and multiple different roms... try rom toolbox or zipme
Finally gave it one last ditch attempt (well two, actually).
Tried flashing Sultan Cm12 rom, but it unroots the device so bailed on it.
Put latest Resurrection Remix on, restored user apps but was more careful about when I restored. Mostly Google apps and some xposed apps, some Robbie rom stuff that wasn't needed and voila! Posting this from a working rom! Had to reinstall xposed framework and Waze from scratch but that's fine.
Thanks for the support guys!
On my (rooted) S7 I suddenly notices that the Google services and play store were GONE. After installing these from GAPPS, I notice that several apps are disappearing.
I don't know why, don't know how, but I do know it concerns both system apps as well as user apps.
eg: I lost Waze (user app) this morning and, after a reboot, es explorer (user app), Google pictures (system app) and the gallery (also system app).
What can I do to prevent this from happening again?
I did make a titanium backup and a TWRP backup, but of cause it's unacceptable to work with my phone: clicking on an icon has about 2% change that the app is gone!
I noticed others that have this problem too, but I have nothing installed to the external SD card (which, btw. is a pain in the @SS with marshmallow)
No one can help me?
Still on every reboot I lose apps, both user and system apps.
Annoyingly is also that titanium backup cannot restore system apps!
I had link 2nd and foldermount, but removed both before. They are not installed, but still this is happening.
Please, please help!
BTW: a factory reset won't get me my system apps back, right?
I'm also having the exact same problem. Tried to search for a solution but to no avail... This is so frustrating...
what apps are missing ?
i have not seen anything like that
Randomly any apps it feels like removing. System apps, user installed apps. Once my google play store got uninstalled.

u say u installed GAPPS , maybe thats the problem
Bright.light did, I didn't.
Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
I think this might be because I flashed ExtSD_Fix_rw-signed-v1.9b.zip
This is used to change the permissions for the external card.
It messes with /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml and /data/system/packages.xml
maybe that got wrong, so I made a factory reset and started all over. Now it works, even with xposed and root.
btw: It's only after I lost the play store/google services that I installed GAPPS, so GAPPS is not the problem.
Same here. I tried to revert to the packages.xml before the flash but it didn't work. Apps still getting uninstalled. So a factory reset did the trick for you? Did u flash ExtSD again after the reset?

No, I removed this ExtSD immediately, just to be sure that I won't flash it again.
For the moment I learn to live with this problem. It's possible because most sophisticated apps are already requesting the correct rights. Including the root capabilities it works as I like it to work.
When there is a better solution, I will TWRP backup and try that one, but this ExtSD is not the correct way.
I haven't found the thread, or else I would have put a warning in there too...
I have changed the permissions and ownership of the files in newer versions. Tonight I will release v2.8 with additional logging to help me finish this thing.

Thank rufus! Still appreciate your work on this. Don't take it the wrong way that I'm blaming this app. Users install at their own risk, so it's all in the user. [emoji4]

No bad feelings ?
My stuff does not work as well as I want it to yet and that frustrates me quite a bit...
Please join the testing team to help. If you don't want to mess your system, nandroid backup before flash and then restore. I hope the apps disappear quickly though... I know it is a pain to loose data/settings/texts/call logs...

I didn't loose those things, however, since my backup was 'old', I just started all over, only retrieving some items from backup selectively.
No hard feelings for the ExtSD, I know it's my own risk
I do hope that the development of ExtSD will continue and that there will be a time that we beat this monster problem! :good: Or that Google finally understands that this is NOT wat we want!
btw: I have several apps which I cannot use anymore because of these ridiculous rights.:crying:
I have the same trouble with missing apps on my rooted 5.0 Lollipop phone.
I find that the missing apps usually have two copies of themselves in the data\app directory.
What I describe will apply to all updated system apps and user apps:
For example playstore is a system app but, after it is updated it is stored as data\app\com.android.vending-1 for the first update. Then data\app\com.android.vending-2 for the 2nd update.
Further updates will alternate between these two storage locations.
If something goes wrong and data\app\com.android.vending-1 does not get deleted you will have two copies of Playstore which I think will lead to a randomly disappearing Playstore.
I delete the oldest dated of the two storage locations and reboot phone. If still missing I reinstall the app and make sure there is only one copy in data\app directory, I will delete the oldest again.
I have auto update apps turned off to reduce the problem. I have a TWRP backup so I do not worry about messing up the phone.
Good Luck!
