Hello,
I want to de-install some apps and themes/wallpapers with Titanium Backup pro, but after a reboot, the apps and other files are back. Anyone else who have encountered this? And is there a sollution so the deleted files won't come back at all?
Edit: I'm on CM 12.1
Same here! Titanium Backup is not working. I'm using System app remover instead.

Flashed new rom, use Titanium Backup to restore apps with no problem, but missing some app's icons, the rest of them are fine. I know they are restored cause I can see and run them on Market downloads.
Thanks.
Did you restore system data?

Yes, I did.
If I go into /system/app the apps I've "frozen" with Titanium don't seem to be renamed or altered. So how does it disable them?
Im asking because Id like to get rid of Titanium backup, I don't use any of it's features other than the freeze so would be better if I could just do that myself..
I'm not sure, I haven't ever frozen an app with titanium. What I can tell you though, is that if you go into /system/app and move apps out or in, android will automatically note these changes. This means that you can blow out anything in the app folder and it will be uninstalled from your device. Be careful though, if you remove something you really need for your phone to run, you might have problems. I'd go for a nandroid backup first for this reason.

Thanks for the info. Maybe I could put the question another way..
Can anyone recommend an app to manage/disable unwanted apps to save having to go in and find/rename apks manually?
Just an update for anyone with the same problem, found the answers on the following threads:

Requiers root and USB debugging on!
App freezing requires to use the integrated 'pm' tool which hangs when debugging is off!
In any case you can check the app System Tuner which freezes apps very easily:

I frozen com.android.music.apk (Stock music player) from my Galaxy Advance with Titanium Backup. When I wanted to Defrost Titanium Backup tell me that app has been defrosted, but the app stil frozen, navy color in Titanium Backup. I tried 10 times and don't defrost. Next, because I have backup of this app I have uninstaled with titanium, and now trying to restore it. But titanium tell me "Restoring..." and don't restore, even if I let it 30 minutes with this message "Restoring app..."
So because I have rooted my phone I have tryied to put music.apk in /system/app folder, setting the permisons, the file is there and have rw-r--r-- permisions but the app is not accesible from app drawer. What can I do to restore my Stock Music Player?
Can anyone help me ?

Are you still restoring in the same ROM that you originally froze the app? The Android version is more important, but sometimes, the ROM makes a difference too.
yes, the same ROM. Stock ROM of Galaxy Advance. Only ROOT-ed.
android ver. 2.3.6
in the same ROM happened soȘ
1.Frozen Stock Music Player
2.tried defroze whithout succes. Titanium said was defrost, but in fact remained frozen, and colored in navy in Titanium, with "Defrost" option enabled. So can't defroze
3.Uninstalled with titanium whitout defrozing
4.So because I have rooted my phone I have tryied to put music.apk in /system/app folder, setting the permisons, the file is there and have rw-r--r-- permisions but the app is not accesible from app drawer.
What can i do to have it back in app drawer ?
Well, I only froze an application once in TB, and I defrost it with no problem. But, somehow another app still recognized it...so I do not know if freezing apps are helping as much as they are hurting.
But my last tip before I give up...for now. Uninstall, and try restoring only the app and not the data and tell me what happens.
And of course, if all else fails, backup data and reflash the Rom.

tried! is telling me "Restoring..." and can stay 3 hours with this message. I need to kill titanium to close this.
another ideea ?
You can also freeze/unfreeze through link2sd, which many Android users have on their device anyway.
on my Galaxy S Advance I can't unfreeze any frozen app. No with Titanium, No with Link2SD
Look! I have frozen Yahoo News with Link2SD. Now I can't defroze it. I can try to defroze 10 times. Look at this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2th5cGvOYKw
why it's freeze but can't unfreeze ? I got no error!

I will give you an Example, the software update app in my samsung galaxy phone it always run even i did not run it, if i will freeze my software updater app it will not run automatically anymore and you can't use it.. so like in video games, it's like a pause button.
I made a backup of my apps using the stock App Backup app, is there a way to restore it with AOKP ?
I've looked at Titanium Backup but I'm either blind or there is no way ?
Cheers
I have not used it but i think your best bet would be to try to install the asus backup app. Either that or go back to stock restore your apps then back them up with titanium

Flash an asus based rom first. Restore your apps+data using asus backup. Then download "my backup root" from play store. Backup everything and you're good to go.
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

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.

Hi all,
Currently running oos 10.0.3 and TWRP 74.
I'm trying to restore certain apps by extracting from a nandroid backup in TB.
But when I went to do it I'm shown only the partitions and no apps.
Can someone please advise if there's a setting I'm missing to enable?
Thanks
Why use Titanium? OnePlus Switch does the same thing.

Not for a particular app I'm using, swivel. Doing the nandroid extract method was the only way i could ever get it to restore data. Nothing else works

Select any file with data in the name, then TB will search for apps and let you restore it or data only.

Thanks, but it makes no difference. It used to take up to a minute for TB to open the nandroid backup and then i could pick the app and or data, but things are very different now for some reason. I'll contact the Dev and report back.

Your last hope is making a nandroid backup of your current OS then restore your nandroid backup(where your app is) then take a titanium backup of that app then restore your lastest Android backup and restore your app with data.
I always recommend to take a titanium backup of all user apps to avoid your issue

Managed to get the data restored, but it wasn't via TB.
What i done was removed the specific app data from data/data/ from my nandroid backup from last month.
I then placed this into the same location on my phone with a file explorer. Rebooted the phone and all is good.
Can't understand why TB cannot restore this data like it does for every other app. But oh well, I'm back running! Thanks
