De-installed apps with Titanium Backup pro come back after reboot

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.

backup apps without using root

is there a backup tool similar to titanium backup to make backups of apps, but without the need for root? I need to make a backup before unlocking the bootloader from my Merlin.
thanks, guys

I would second Helium as a first choice... especially the Premium (paid) version, so you can backup to the cloud (my personal preference).
There is also Holo Backup for Windows and Linux, My Backup (Pro), CM Backup (stands for Cheetah Mobile, not CyanogenMod), Ultimate Backup, and others. Also, Titanium Backup can backup and restore apps without root.
Be aware that backing up apps is hit and miss, and some apps do not necessarily backup an app's data and settings without root... And restoring apps and data can be problematic in some cases
All in all, it is your choice, but I would recommend Helium Backup as well.

Titanium backup - Nandroid

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

Alternative to Titanium Backup?

Hey everyone,
I've been using Titanium backup for a few weeks now but one thing irks me about it.. even though it successfully backs up my apps and I assume my data - when it comes to restoring the backup, it always re-installs the apps in a broken state.
After restoration is complete, about 1/3rd of my apps have to be re-installed. When I tap on an app, it crashes soon as it opens.
I'm currently trying out Migrate - but TWRP throws an error 7 when attempting to restore the backed up ZIP that Migrate created.
Swift I read is awesome, unfortunately it's a google focused app, and this device is degoogled for privacy and security reasons.
Any free options to replace Titanium Backup?

Okay, I figured Migrate was a good choice. I'll spend some time troubleshooting Error 7.

After using Titanium Backup Pro for years, I've pretty much switched over to Swift Backup. I just use it locally without any cloud backup. Not sure how it would react without Gapps. However since you have microg I would assume it should work.

+1000, the best for me

There is also fully free backup tool OAndBackupX

Titanium stopped working nicely for me too. I just use it to freeze apps and small stuff.
Migrate works good.

OandbackupX is a great choice. It's what I use.

For TB, i noticed it hangs on restoring of apps. But if i install app via PlayStore or manually via APK and then restore app data in TB it works as promised.

That's because TB can't handle split apks.

swift backup is recommended and i can restore without any issue with it

You mean, its developer is too lazy to work that out. He's been promising for years, because some people paid for his Pro version, but he's not been doing much. Maybe he died from CoViD.

As far as i know, latest release of TB dates back to 2019, even before Covid widespread.
Maybe the author is not interested in developing TB anymore for some reason.

Swift is the best. Latest version only.

I had the same problem when I switched form my S9+ running Android 9 to my new S20 Ultra running Android.
Almost all apps crashed after restore.
I got the tip to try "Swift Backup" and I must say it works perfectly. You can choose to backup your apps and data locally or on google drive or something similar. If you backup your apps in the cloud you can easily access those backups from another phone and restore them

The only problem with Swift Backup is that backed up data is encrypted and you can't decrypt it on your own.

How To Guide Backup properly with root

I'm pretty decent with root ROMs etc, but I've always been **** at backing up properly. Any recommendations on apps (old or new) and instructions on how to backup and restore my phone so I don't have to relogin to apps, or reset up apps that don't keep my settings within apps that don't keep them even if they have a log in.
Any help would be appreciated. And no, google backup won't work. Doesn't do what I want

Hi, have you tried Swift Backup?
I always use it when I switch the ROM.
Not only apps and its setting, it can restore SMS, call logs and wallpapers though it can't restore entire system.

Haven't tried it, but will on next Evolution ROM update. Do you just not do a restore when clean installing the rim? Then root and install swift, and restore? That simple?

Yep. Just backup apps before doing clean install procedure.
And install Magisk on the new ROM, then install Swift backup and restore apps so that I can use apps just like before without any 're-configuration'.
