[Q] Titanium Backup

I want to know if titanium backup is of any useful use for our fit and is it safe.
and is it possible to backup ur rom wid it.
thnx
you can't backup a rom using titanium backup. use cwm for that.
"Titanium Backup" is the most important app for a rooted user,who is a ROM maniac (like me)...It is used to backup apps+data and many many extra features!...But "NOT USED TO BACKUP A ROM"....if u want to backup a ROM then boot into CWM Recovery and go in "backup and restore" and then backup!...ur Done!:beer:
galaxy fit + CM7.2 Rc5.6(2.3.7) + 801Mhz
thnx guys
but ive hard not to restore system settings as it causes many problems
is it true?
yes its safe to restore apps and data of apps which are downloaded from market (or are sideloaded)...
however, restoring data of system apps may give you fc's...
like for eg, I tried to restore my wifi settings from creeds to cm7 rc5.3...but whenever I tried to connect to a saved wifi spot, I used to get force closes...had to wipe data again...
also, the best feature of titanium is batch backup and restore, and schedules...
batch is in menu>batch...you can use it for one click backup and restore...
i prefer mybackup pro as it has a better and understandable UI and works well
can mybackup do backup of app data as well??
yeah it can backup app data and apk for system and non system apps
it can also freeze or unfreeze, break or link to market for the apps

Yup it should work...
Restore the data only, no need of restoring apps also (since it is the same rom)...

While batch backup in titanium backup app,it backups all the app+data very nicely. We just have to start the batch backup and keep our phone aside till the backup completes. But while restoring apps via batch restore,it constantly asks for permission whether to install or cancel for every app. So does mybackup pro batch-restores apps without asking such permission?
Even titanium PRO doesn't ask...
Free version doesn't allow one-click batch restore...
Typed using a small touchscreen
my backup pro dosent ask
ive tried only restoring the app data till now and not the app on my backup pro

Titanium Backup Help

I recently flashed a new rom (the last time I did this was almost 2 years ago so I forgot what to do). Titanium backup has been doing weekly updates for a long time. So when I started up the phone titanium backup is gone, I read that I must redownload from the play store, but when I run it, it says I failed to acquire root privileges. It tells me to get busy box, so I download that too, but that won't install properly.
What should I do now? Have I lost root? The bootloader is available...that means it's still rooted right? The internal sd card still shows my folder of titanium backup and all the other root folders I used to have on my phone, I just can't get titanium backup to run so i can't restore.
Thanks!

If you flash a new rom root is lost.
You have to root again.
S.R.
A few of the JB ROMS were causing issues with root. The fix was to re-flash the SU (superuser) apk and that would fix things right up. You should be able to find it doing a search.
Good luck and hope this helps!

Lets start with a few basic questions... dont mean to offend you, just wanna make sure its not something you may have overlooked.
What rom did you flash?
What, if anything, did you wioe in recovery?
Did you get a superuser or supersu prompt when titanium started?

Not necessarily so. Most custom roms are pre-rooted by the dev. Ive flashed countless roms and until recently w/ jb not had any issues w/ root access.

seems you've just lost root privileges,
just flash supeuser again and you will be fine...

it pretty much looks like this in TitBack, give or take a few letters: "[SMS/MMS/APN] Phone/Messaging...". when you tap on it, the pop-up recognizes it as "Phone/Messaging Storage". this is where your text messages are.
some 3rd-party MMS apps like GoSMS Pro can back up your messages too, and I believe there's also an app or two solely for backing up your messages to your sdcard/internal storage.
Titanium Batch restore fail
Hi all
Having a few problems, I'm new to flashing roms and the use of Titanium Backup and I've just flashed my second ROM. I've gone from CM9 to CM10. Before doing so I created a backup of apps + data.
I flashed the ROM fine, and ran the batch restore function in Titanium. I have all the icons on my homescreen from the previously installed apps but after clicking on them my phone tells me that app isn't installed. I then notice that my notification from Titanium's batch restore shows the apps I had downloaded from the play store failed to restore (the notification said that the elements failed after batch restore was complete).
I noticed that these apps have a line through them when the list of apps I want to restore appears.
Titanium then advised me that the apps did not restore as the Android ID had changed, So I then reverted to the previous android ID thinking this to be the solution. However, after running the restore function again, the same amount of elements failed to restore.
Due to my lack of knowledge in Titanium and my need for these apps, I turned to the play store and decided to manually redownload all the apps again. This does not work either! The error message I get is the apps cannot be downloaded due to an error (491). I guess this is to do with the android ID changing?
Please help, how can I get these apps to restore? and also how can I be able to download apps from the play store again? :crying:
EDIT: So I was able to reinstall the apps from the play store by wiping the dalvik + cache.
This still leaves me baffled as to why Titanium wasn't able to do this

Did you try to restore system apps? I always use tb w/ the pro key to restore user apps + data, and have been getting the changed android id lately, but whether I keep the new id or revert to the old one, my restore works. Depending on what ROM I'm going to or from, sometimes I have to change my home screen shortcuts for system apps.

I didn't select restore system apps, instead I selected restore all apps with data, failing that I tried restore missing apps + all system data.
What option should I normally be selecting to do a straight restore after flashing a ROM? Does the fact that there is a line through the apps that I'm trying to restore mean anything?
I always select "restore missing apps + data" it's the 1st option under restore in the batch menu. The apps with a line through them are the ones that tb recognizes as being backed up but not installed.

Help with a Titanium Backup issue

Just flashed the Darth Stalker ROM to my TMO Galaxy S3. Before that I made a titanium backup of all my apps, and a nandroid backup. After I flashed the new rom and restored all my apps, the call log and sms/mms log aren't there anymore. Every search result I've found say to enable the data migration option, but I can't find that anywhere on this version of titanium backup. I've tried to backup app+data, but it always says it's failed because it's already installed, so I just try to restore data, and it says it does, I reboot, but still no logs. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
i have always avoided using titanium backup for such quirky issues and the FC/bootloops it generates .
Is there something better than Titanium that I should be using?

[FIX] Titanium backup not restoring? Check your runtime!

I manually upgraded my ROM to 10f so that I wouldn't get the notification anymore. After installing TB I tried to restore my apps and none of them would work! Batch restore just hung so I tried and individual restore and got a parse error, and it hit me....
I was using ART instead of Dalvik on my old ROM! swapped my runtime over to ART and TB works like it should now.
Just a heads up for anyone else who might run into this.
You can also let Google restore your apps automatically and then use TB to restore just the "data" for those apps that you need to rather than restoring "App and Data". This is a "safer" method of restoring apps IMHO because you won't run into incompatibility issues while still recovering your data for the apps.
I have always had issue with google restoring my apps. It either doesn't work at all, or it installs every app I've used in the past year or so, even the ones I've removed

Hi, try an app called migrate from the play store. Works very well.
I need restore app for backup beacose this app have key to restore account
Migrate, uses root access to back up all your app with thier data .
Restoring it is a breeze. Just Flash your backup file in TWRP reboot then restore using the app.
ok but i have to get the apps out of the backup

Nope , you dont. Just restore the app in question with its data via the migrate app itself. You have the option to restore only what you want or everything. I used this for my banking app as well. Worked every time.
Ok i try tooday
