when you make a backup of apps, it doesn't show?
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,
I would like to know if you had any bad experience with restoring apps from another phone to the Skyrocket
I have a Sasmung Captivate and I would like to restore the apps+datas I took from my capy to my skyrocket.
Any cons?
Thank you

After you restore use es file explorer to find the folder and copy it into external sd card if you did not use that as backup folder than you can just run restore from skyrocket!

I have never had an issue with restoring App's from Titanium. To support the developer I have the Pro version.

Yes, I also got the pro version and never had a problem with restoring app. My problem was more going from one phone to another. I wanted to be sure it will be ok.
Thanks for your feedback

batch>restore MISSING apps has always worked great for me
I'm trying to use Titanium Pro to batch restore missing apps on a new rom install and it seems to be stuck on Restoring at 0%. Any ideas?

I just did the same, a batch restore for all my apps from my captivate to my skyrocket without problem.
Oh you're right, it did work when I selected just missing apps. It freezes on trying to do missing apps + system data.

It's always dangerous to restore the system data especially if you changed rom. I think this is the reason of the freeze. Because you are trying to restore an open file or a system file not compatible with your new rom.
In my opinion, you should just restore missing apps+data
I used it to move from Froyo Infuse to GB Infuse to now SR. Sometimes, I get a 'stall' (0%) on an app restore so I'll force close it and restart the batch restore again. The app count should have decreased by then. I always do 'app+data' only.
Exactly as the title says. What gives?
I have free space. Over 300mb
I cleared dalvik cache but didn't work, reboot as well. Anything else I can do?
Lol, I was messing around with titanium backup and now I can't install it no matter what I do.
I'm not sure but I seem to get that with like 100mb free storage on the stock rom. As well as it saying my visual voicemail box is full which I can't even have since I'm on a prepaid plan. Usually I have to uninstall an app just to download an app that is a few hundred KB even though I have way more than enough room... although in your case TB might've caused some issues... Someone else can probably help out more than me though...

This only happened because I had uninstalled and reinstalled TB from the market a few times. I was testing something out. Was going to get TB back onto my phone and be done, but it won't install anymore. Even after I removed a few apps. I have over 400mb free now.

but if I need TB to backup certain apps before I reflash???
out of all the apps I could be having problems with
I tried clearing market data and cache as well. Still no luck. I'm starting to get really scared here. There's a lot of things I need to backup
Even if I sideload the app from my sd card, it still tells me I don't have enough space
I just uninstalled and reinstalled Mahjong Artifacts from the amazon app store a 40mb game WTF???
And TB still gives me an insufficient storage error
so it's only TB? If that's the case then use a different app to backup or even just make a nandroid backup wipe and reflash then use appextractor from the play store to pull apps from the nandroid...

Yes, its only TB. Lol that app didn't work. It would scan a nandroid and then the scan would finish. It wouldn't give me any indication of what apps it found or if there was any I could install. I was trying to find TB through one of my old backups, but it was a no go
Well es file explorer can backup any apps. You need root enabled I'm pretty sure as well, but you can do menu> manager> app manager> select (for multi select), then just select all the apps you want to back up and select backup.
File expert will backup apps, as well as things like androzip, etc...etc...
Or you could go in by hand and pull them individually with Root Explorer. Root Explorer is without equal the go to app to explore, manage and fix things on your device and well worth paying for.
Also, maybe cruise through these links about some of your backup concerns:
- Preparing for backup
- Backup Guide
...and don't forget to back up your sdcard to a computer, maybe your problem is similar to something like what was found here?
Official CWM Recovery 5.0.2.7 ...and once you finish backing up your sdcard to the computer you should format it after working through this issue and before flashing a new ROM.
Probably something silly like leftover files in /sdcard/android/data or something similar...
...i'm just getting off and crashing now, and meant to a while ago, so if I think of something sometime else not on the edge of sleep i'll post it. Good luck.
Edit real quick:
...and the clockworkmod backup is always a good grab:

...instead of using an app to try to fight with the backup image on the phone, use a real computer and the unyaffs tools to open it. You can get whatever you want.
Thanks for the help guys. I'm guessing there was a problem with TB and it wasn't going to have any help getting started again.
Bit the bullet and rebooted into Virtuous Inquisition. Amazing rom with great battery life. You should try it out for anyone who wants AOSPish. Gets better battery than it's Sense cousin Primadonna.
All apps are working again. I will work on getting some of my apps back from my old nandroid when I have time.

This worked for me couple weeks ago.
It's tied into autoupdate for the app. Turn it off in the Google Play Store.

hey guys .. got my nexus 5 today and installed a sweet rom .. installed TB and deleted all the crap that comes with the GAPPS packages IE Google music ETC and when i did this the phone became un-reponsive and wouldnt load the home screen .. then when i ree-booted it got stuck on the bootloop ..
have google taken these powers away from us now so we have to keep google music ETC
if there is a way around this i would be much appreciated
Thanks

Hi,
It seems you have deleted an (some) essential system app(s) ?
Could you provide a list of what you have deleted? Maybe you have deleted something not related to the Gapps (since the phone boot or work "normally" without Gapps)?
No Nandroid backup or Titanium backup I presume?
Some system apps are safe to delete, others not... Dirty flash your rom should do the trick (wipe only Dalvik cache and cache partition), you won't lose anything and the apps you deleted will be installed again...

Did you delete Google Now, or Play Services? That will cripple the device with stock launcher.
Why would you delete then apps rather than just freezing them?
If you just freeze them, you wouldn't have to do it every time you update your rom, unlike deleting.

Are you sure it's only that? I've deleted them without issue, there is something else..., did you read my post?
You freeze them in settings/apps/all or with Titanium backup (or similar apps)... And always make a Nandroid backup or a backup with Titanium (recovery backup, I mean create "update.zip" ).

Hello everyone!
I am wondering if there is anyway to save an apps data if you wanted to install another rom? I love taking different roms out for a spin, but having to restart a game over and over as a result can be frustrating.

you can store them on pc, but for me, there are some files inside the backup that wont copy. i dont know if this is common, but i thought i should mention it. although, even with whatever wouldnt copy, i have never had an issue restoring the apps or data.
even if you move the backup to pc, you have to move it back to the phone to use it.
there is also a cloud option to save the backups to drive and other places.
its is fairly easy to restore, there is a batch option menu, where you just select the ones you want and click start, but if you dont get the paid version, it will only let you do one at a time, which sux lol
Hello
As I've set up many parameters into my running OxygenOS, such as application behavior, battery optimization, miscellanous settings, wallpapers...
How im supposed to backup all those settings regarding OxygenOS in order to avoid to reinstall it while tranfering my phone to another OOS phone ?
PS : my phone is rooted, and I use TitaniumBackup
I wish to get solution to backup problem,
all those settings preferences need to be backuped up but no solution yet found.
at least we still have "titanium backup".

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...

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.

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.
