App not installed

So a lot of apps just refuse to install on my Nexus 5. They just don't install. After I press Install on the permissions screen, it just gives me an error "App Not Installed". I've tried installing from the apk as well. I have tried deleting all the /data folders. I have changed my ROM too. Anyone has a fix for this?

What was it? Some display dimming app?

Nope. It was actually something in android itself. Had to change the default app install location from Auto to Internal using the terminal. Since the nexus 5 doesnt have and external SD, apps cant be installed on it but sometimes androids "Auto" install location doesnt work and tries to install apps into the external sd card. Thats why the app installs fail.

questions on titanium backup

Hi guys,
I currently have a nexus 5, rooted, exposed installed phone.
However, I m thinking to use titanium backup to backup some of my app (maybe sytem data). I do have some questions tho.
1st, I heard it is not recommend to backup system data since they are not the same.. is it truth?
2nd, Since nexus 5 do not have a SD tray. If i would backup my apps data and format my phone later. Where can i store those backup files? Can i Move the titanium backup folder to my pc first, format my phone, install titanium backup on the new devices, move files back to the original location and hit restore? Can I do that? Or there is anyway to workaround?

1. Yes it is.
2. You can backup them in the cloud or on your PC. No problem to restore them later.

Can't do cloud since mine was free version
BTW, if I'm moving from lollipop to marshmallow. Does the back file still work ?

Yes (user data ONLY) but you need a permissive SELinux on Marshmallow.

I only plan to backup user app+data, won't do system data since it won't be compatible

No idea what is selinux... Is it hard to setup?
I guess I should stay away from marshmallow than.
What about restore within lollipop?

Just google for se linux mode changer app. Very simple to change to permissive. Needs root, but this does Titanium Backup too.

Format everything and start over installing a new system image. Most likely is a virus app man

Made a factory reset to see if it would take it away and it didn't, installed other rom and it was finally gone.
Still I'm intrigued on what the hell was that and how it got there

Most probably it was a virus app. There a lot of ways to get it installed in your phone( clicking on the wrong ad for example) and they are really hard to remove. The best way is to format the entire partition, in this case /system

Hi folks.
I did only backup the parameters as suggested by the app, but what a pitty....
The main file only weight 468 Bytes (attachement)
This method is clearly unrelialable. As it doesn't backup my whole parameters.
TitaniumBackup appears to be my last shot, but I still have to determine what to backup...

It really made me laugh as TitaniumBackup was my first paid application and indeed the most important app through years now.
But as I like some challenges, Im going to try it, not because I Doubt about TitaniumBackup supremacy, but by curiosity.

You won't be disappointed. I freeze apps with icebox. Swift backs up more than just apps.

Of course, it's individual choice but I rely on OP Switch as my backup solution. I was a big fan for TB during my rooted days. With excellent Oxygen OS and OP Switch, I have no desire to root the phone anymore.
I haven't used Swift Backup app, but it might be worth the try. It's available on play store.

It requires root so it's not something you would like. Stick with what works for you. I always have to root my phones lol

I can't understand, how to dont have any root Desire in 2020.
Just, how do you handle bloatware or ads (web, app...)?

There aren't many apps on Oxygen OS that I consider bloatware. I use most of them. If I don't use a particular app, I simply disable it. If it still bothers me there are many guides online to debloat using adb commands.
I use paid version of AdGuard and have no issues with blocking ads. One license fee covers all 3 phones in my family.

TWRP not support for Android 10. What to use for backup/restore?

I've always made TWRP NANDroid imgs for backup & restore.
Twrp doesn't work with Android10 yet. So what are you all using instead?

Have you tried formatting a USB drive and backing up your data (important files - Pics, SMS, etc.) to a USB drive including an apps list? If you can use Titanium Backup with this ROM you can skip the apps list and restore your apps with Titanium Backup. Then when you finish flashing a ROM you just copy your files back to your phone from the USB with a 'root capable' file explorer.
It will not back up your boot image, system image or Vendor image, but if a reset is required you won't lose all your important data.

Can Titanium Backup restore system settings/configs etc like twrp nandroid?
I want a complete system backup/restore so I won't need to setup/configure device again after a wipe.

Gonna have to go back to Android 9 until or if they even get TWRP working on 10 for the Pixels. This is probably one of the biggest reasons I'm still on 9.
Titanium is still fairly unreliable as well as I still come into contact with certain apps that refuse to work after restoring them with titanium (Waze is one such app)

I am using Swift Backup and it works flawlessly. It saves things on the cloud (if you want or also locally) and then you can restore on any phone. I actually like it better than Titanium, which I have used since the days of my Note 3.

Came across your post by chance while searching to understand why TWRP failed to restore the images made of LineageOS 17.1 (Android 10) on my Wileyfox. Huge time waste, as is Titanium at present, with this Android version.

I am still using TiBu daily and occasionally sync TiBu to Google drive. Swift Backup looks like a good alternative.
I miss NANDROID backups with TWRP.

OAndBackupX on F-droid is free and seems to function well enough

TRWP is now available for Pixel 3/XL Android 10!

Used it for years, When I updated to a new phone and every version update and Rom change. It can upload your backup to Goggle Drive. I usually copy the storage directory to my PC.
Setup auto backup schedule, your good to go.
I paid for it yrs ago,still reloads with no problems.
It's a powerful app.

If you are using Magisk for root than you can hide root from Banking Apps, like Bank of America.

I have successfully hid my banking apps in Magisk. I get all of my three banks working properly with root.
