Titanium Backup says insufficient memory - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5

Model: N920T
ROM: Darthstalker
Kernel: arter97
Android version: 5.1.1
Issue: I'm trying to backup my apps with Titanium Backup, and no matter how many apps I try to backup, it says insufficient memory. I have 16gbs of available space and only 7gbs of apps.

It just started acting up for me too. Go into SuperSu, and disable Mount Namespace Seperation, then reboot the phone. Then it will work.

Never have seen an easy way to download or install the arter kernel. Can I get a link?

Go into SU and uncheck mount namespace separation and reboot. Should fix it

[Q] Infused 1.5 issues

I'm running Infused v1.5.0 Kernel 2.6.32.9 instatalled on July 9th, since then I have a couple concerns, I have rebooted maybe 5 times, I have noticed that after I downloaded apps from the market yesterday,now when I go to download apps, the phone says that the app is downloading but it never installs. I then have to reboot to get the apps to download and install correctly. How long will it be if I see better battery life? Does anyone have an answer?

1. Looks like a bad flash. Maybe u could try doing a clean install again. I didnt' face this issue.
2. To get a battery life estimate (assuming u flashed with a full battery, or battery calibration has been done after the flash), it would take about a week to get the battery circuitry and phone OS to get in sync.
Can I Flash with my ROM Manager or do I need to catch up with the person who Rooted the phone and installed the ROM?
Yes but.read ops and flash from red cwm works better

Is that Yes I CAN do it or yes I need to have the installer do it?
Some things install themselves to the sdcard, try unplugging and plugging USB and make sure you see the media scan message.

Since u already have the ROM loaded on ur phone, here's what u can do:
1. Re-download the ROM and copy it to internal SD card
2. Reboot into CWM
3. Do a factory reset (wipes system, data and cache partitions)
4. Go to advanced menu and do a dalvik cache wipe
5. Flash the ROM now
6. Reboot
Do NOT restore any data or apps from TiBu. I would recommend to see how the clean install goes on ur ROM without restoring any data or apps from TiBu or any other software for that matter. You can install from market though.
Try to make a note of apps u install from market so we can try to isolate the problematic app.
Let us know here if the issue is still persistent.
Ok thanks and remember I have ZERO experience at this... hopefully this is my last question.. When I do step #3 will it erase step #1 since its on my internal SD?

High level memory structure on Infuse:
|
|-- Internal Memory (used for /system, /data, etc)
|
|-- Internal SD
-------|
-------|-- External SD
Step 3 erases internal memory only. Both the SD cards are not touched at this point. So ur downloaded ROM is safe.
Sometimes external SD cannot be mounted onto phone when in CWM. So make sure the downloaded ROM is present in some location on internal SD only.
Since u want it fresh, u could format the internal SD, and then copy the downloaded ROM to it, and then get started with this process. This way u have a clean slate with all traces of apps removed from internal SD too.
Easy way to fix this is go into settings-applications-all-market-force stop-clear data. The you should be able to download apps. The battery life could take up to 72 hours to show improvement, if not search "recalibrate battery" and that should help. No need to do a fresh install.

I never get the Media Scan to pop up like the other sd cards do when I plug them in
ok what is CMW and where do I get red cwm ?

There is another thing you can try, open settings>applications>manage applications and scroll down to com.android.marketing and click on that then where you see 'clear data' & 'clear cache' click those too and check to see if the market app is running, if it is click 'force stop'.
After that restart the phone and the market should download properly.
Good luck
I will try this today
Maybe this is the problem, because I dont see com.android.marketing when I open settings>applications>manage applications. Its not there.
re: market not working
When you were looking for the com.android.marketing did you did you select the "ALL" on the top tab of that screen?
There are 4 options ontop of that screen: third party, running, all, and SD card. Select (click) the "All" and I am certain you will find it.
Do that and you will see the entry.

Titanium Backup: "Batch backup interrupted: insufficient free storage space"

Titanium Backup: "Batch backup interrupted: insufficient free storage space"
I was using TB without issues until SuperSu (Pro) updated to version 2.00. Now TB gives me constantly the "insufficient free storage" error. I have disabled Dropbox (and other) online backup, I have uninstalled/installed the app several times (including the Pro license).
My ROM is SlimRom 4.4.3 v5.9 (latest weekly). Other root apps are working ok. I want to save to external sdcard: /extSdCard/TitaniumBackup
SuperSu (Pro) latest version 2.00.
Of course I have free space (more than 2Gb).
Seems a 4.4.3 flood of issues is coming...
I've tested several symlinks to use sdcard, no one is working:
/storage/sdcard1/TitaniumBackup
/mnt/extSdCard/TitaniumBackup
/extSdCard/TitaniumBackup
/external_sd/TitaniumBackup
If anyone has an idea how to use TB with 4.4.3 and external sdcard I would thank so much if he/she posts how could solve the issue.
I also have the same problem using Android 4.4.2. All the proposed fixes (platform.xml edit; change directory to emulated/legacy; SDFix app; etc.) DO NOT WORK.
Please help us!
Into Titanium advanced settings, configure it to use your ROM's Busybox and not the one shipped with Titanium.
Restart the app and check if it helps.

It went away the same way it comes. Right now, I think the change of the Busybox to system (and not to the TB Busybox) did the job.
What do you think it solved your problem?

What solved mine was after updating to 4.4.2 (I have a Note II), it changed the way external was written to. I noticed the tibu folder was not writable and I wasn't even allowed to change permissions via root explorer. After some digging, I found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44370296 which explains to modify platform.xml.
After editing the file and rebooting, no more issues with "insufficient free storage space".

Thanks, but that was my ROM default platform.xml file, so it's not the same. My problem could be somewhere else as the .xml file was always in the correct form on how is suggested in that thread. Thanks anyway.
I currently have the same issue, which just happened recently, with v 4.4.2 on my TMO Galaxy S5. Currently Stock rooted with Philz Recovery.
Did you solve your issue?
Did you try the flashing of SuperSU and Superuser?
It could be androids new security feature that doesn't allow apps to write to SD cards. One of the main reason google removed the code for SD card support from stock android.
Soved the problem by installing Alliance ROM because it has the following feature: • Enabled External Sd-Card Read/Write Functionality
I started getting this message about a month ago after using TiBu for years. I use SlimRom on a Note 2. It does work to backup and restore to the internal card.
I don't have a problem accessing the external sdcard (sdcard1) from any other app. Rom Toolbox Pro and Helium do not have a problem creating or restoring backups to it. Titanium Backup will usually backup a few apps, as many as 5 or more to as little as none, before it bombs out and displays the insufficient storage message. It is not a problem with storage since I have over 20gb free. My permissions.xml file already has the sdcard permissions set correctly. I have tried updating superuser and forcing system busybox to no avail.
Any ideas as to what the problem could be?

Got the solution
I did everything but the solution was provided by TB itself when it gave an error message at startup. Just uncheck the mount namespace separation option in supersu. Done.

Resize the system partition?

I am running a stock image on my N5 with root and need to add an apk into the system partition but the problem is that I have only 4mb left on there and the apk does not fit. Is it possible to resize the partitions and:
Still keep your data
and/or
Allow for OTA installations down the road?
Short answer is no. And you certainly can't do it without wiping everything else. Repartitioning Android partitions is not for the faint of heart. It takes a lot of knowledge and can easily brick your device.

Why don't you just simply delete some unused pre-installed apps from /system?

Stock Google OS comes with a ton of crap on /system that really belongs on /data. You delete all those apps, then download them from the playstore. 300ish MB free on /system.
I wrote a script to do this here, or you could use @vomer CleanRom that gets rid of some crap. My script (from memory) keeps stock keyboard, stock camera, and a stock launcher. Everything else is gone and can be reacquired through the playstore, the way it should have been from the beginning.
If it bothers you, could could use TiBu to back up that app data before you delete them, then restore after playstore install.
Who cares about OTA? Really not of concern.
Thank you for putting me on the right track. What I wound up doing was converting a couple of the apps that are baked into the stock ROM from system to user apps with TiBu. Worked like a charm!
awesome ...

Same issue with CM13
I'm facing low system space when installing CM13.
The ROM installs correctly. However, when I go to flash GAPPS, I get a low system error.
How can I fix this?
Flash back to stock, perform a factory wipe, flash twrp, flash cm and gapps. Hopefully, those fixes the issue.

Titanium backup pro won't restore apps

Hi guys, as the title says, I'm having problems restoring apps and app data both individually and through batch restore. I've tried changing the SuperSU mounting method, different versions of TB and changed the app processing mode. I've tried it all on the latest version of TB and the version before that. I have no problems backing up apps though. If I try manually installing the apk (after extracting it from the archive TB backs them up to) it installs fine. BusyBox is also installed, USB debugging is enabled and apps from unknown sources is also checked.
I would manually install all the apps, but I want app data restored too and it would be a very tedious job since I have quite a few to restore (some 173 apps) as I just updated to Marshmallow.
Any advice on what I could try next?
No advice, sorry. But I have the very same problem...
Might have been fixed in new update?

TB had an update today for Marshmallow support, so maybe that fixed it? Well, anyway I installed them with adb instead since I needed my phone today. I extracted all the apks from the archives and used a batch to list all my apks in a text file, then added "adb install X:\app dir" to the beginning of each line in the text file then changed the extension to .bat and found that TB would restore app data alone in the batch restore commands.
Code:
DIR *.apk /B>APKlist.txt
A fair bit of effort for all my apps, but I got them all back onto my phone eventually with all the data too. I'm happy now, but I'd still like a solution for future reference.
Todays TB update didn't fix it, at least for me.
Luckily I made the update to marshmallow so far only on a spare N7.

Same issue. It just hangs when trying to restore on Marshmallow.
I agonised over this for hours last night - turns out that the the fix for me was to switch SELinux to permissive mode.
Install this app: http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=12506 -- open the app, switch to permissive, and give it another go.
I fogt the same problem for hours messing with everything I could think of and this fixed it thank you very much. I know it's a temporary fix until they get the application straightened out but hey its a fix

thanks though
not sure why but if the app is already on the device(older version or with no data) then the restore works
so if i try restore an app(looks like only google apps are not restoring)..then tb just hangs at 0%...
once i manually install the app from the app store., tb stops hanging and restores the data?
maybe this can help someone figure out why restores wont work

Hello.
I'm having the same issue on titanium 7.6.0.1:
I've tried integrating update system apps into rom but those apps disappear:
-google play store
-android system web view
-smart suite
-talkback
-google text-to-speech output
and the most of my apps are not working now.
I've tried restoring a backup of them I have in titanium backup, but when I click to restore it just don't do anything (it stays at 0% for ever).
My phone is now not connected to my google account anymore now and I can't even add it going to Settings/Account.
Tried rebooting phone but nothing changed.
How do I get them back and the other apps back to work properly?
Thanks.
As I have the Pro version I emailed Titanium support with the problem - but no reply yet.
TiBu seems to work sometimes but not other times and support seems sadly lacking for a paid app; so I copied my issue and a link to this thread to their support.

Insufficient Storage Space: Titanium Backup

Weird problem,
I have 2 schedules a week, one that does full backup of new apps and old apps and the other just doing the old apps.
If I back up an individual app - OK
The "redo" of old apps - OK
the Full Backup - I get the error message: Insufficient Storage Space: Titanium Backup Error only pops up after awhile, so it can go 20% without problems, I've seen it get to 50% too..
Troubleshooting done:
-unchecked "mount namespace separation in SuperSU
-manually backed up all apps to see it wasn't an issue with the apps.
-I have also actually managed to manually trigger the full backup and it's been successful (but also get this error message sometimes)- But never been successful -from auto backup.
-It's not app specific because the error can come up for anything, even though it has been sucessful before.
It was working fine on Lollipop.
Since 6.0 it's been a problem
just upgraded to 6.0.1 and it's still the same.
I'm using a Sony Z5C
Any suggestions would be most appreciated!
Thanks
