I have a problem with this app. Recently i flashed a new rom and somehow titanium backup backup folder localization got stuck on folder which i dont have anymore. I get a "backup unavailable" monit and I can't change it. If i try to change the folder onto one which consist all my backups titanium crashes right away. Is there any way to reset settings or something? It got stuck to the folder on my sdcard which doesn't exist anymore as i copied it to internal memory. Now when i click search for backups it sees them in a new folder but I can't change it to that folder. It got stuck/freezed on previous and it doesn't want to update that setting. WTF?

Hi guys, I have a problem with titanium. When I create an "update zip file", in special features, for flashing titanium via recovery, the application does not install, restart the titanium is not installed. I use TWRP recovery. It should be used to ClockworkMod recovery, as specified in titanium, to install the update zip file?
[Desire Themes and Apps] rohitshakti:
hi friends,

Pls help me too.

I installed CM13 4th April build and after that i installed some applications manually which were installed without any problems. Then I tried to restore some applications through titanium backup but it is not able to restore any of the applications and is saying "titanium backup cannot restore applications due to insufficient space". Whereas my sd card has nearly 30% space free.

Just to tell, I am using apps2sd with buzybox and had created ext4 partition which I am using to link the apks but it is also nearly 40% free at the moment.

Please tell why is there such an error of insufficient space ?

greetings...

I have the latest version of Titanium PRO.

Everything works fine except the fact that I cannot restore data from one app.

The app (it's a game actually ) is restored as if freshly installed, my points and score are not to be seen.

the game is the first one in the list.

CK Zombies 3.10.

I believe I did the backup correctly.

App + data

target is a usb stick.

What am I missing?

unless game data such as score/points are stored on google's servers, in which case what's the point of backing up?

the game doesn't seem to have a restore option like I've seen in other games.

there's this "su namespace" that titanium warns me about, but I ignore it.

I also have the link2sd app installed, but I never use it.

This is frustrating.

my specs:

samsung s2

lolly 5.1.1 stock (touchwiz)

rooted

thanks!
[Desire Themes and Apps] Saf98:
Why do you have link2sd?
[Desire Themes and Apps] diehard2013:
For no specific reason except to learn more about android's fairly complex file system. Does the app mess around with googfle play app links and permissions?

To this day I fail to understand the purpose of so many pointers to the "home" folder of android.

/sdcard/

/storage/sdcard0

/storage/emulated/0

/storage/emulated/legacy

/wtf.... :)

This pattern of pointers is also happening with /system and /cache.

/system == /dev/block/mmcblk0p19

/cache == /dev/block/mmcblk0p20

Restore app passwords only

Guys - is there a way in Titanium to only restore app credentials - like the wsj app has a login & password and that's the only thing I want to restore and nothing else. If Titanium cannot do this, any other app you recommend? Basically it's a pain doing this every time you set up a new ROM and I don't like restoring all app settings as I've had performances issues doing that

Trying to use cloud backup but for all 3 drives it just seems to backup only a few files, like around 200mb. When I restored it just did bugger all. Why is it missing loads of other apps?
[Desire Themes and Apps] angusc:
I thought that you just need to pick the app data restore option from the full paid version and it only restores the data, such as passwords and settings.
[Desire Themes and Apps] chonnamae:
Can someone help me with these?
[Desire Themes and Apps] angusc:
What help do you need?
[Desire Themes and Apps] chonnamae:
My backups, I can't restore them.
[Desire Themes and Apps] angusc:
Do you have the fully paid version or trial version if TB?
[Desire Themes and Apps] angusc:
You are long pressing each back up to get that next screen for protected app or send. Try just tapping the backup to restore it.

If you have paid for the pro version then you can also use the batch restore function to restore from TB menu many apps or app data at a time, rather than one by one with the free version.
[Desire Themes and Apps] chonnamae:
Yeah, but when I do, it has no Restore button.

Paid
[Desire Themes and Apps] angusc:
Try the menu button and batch restore, then deselect all and then select the apps that you want to restore.

You are rooted aren't you?

You should also consider changing the preferences to allow 2 or more backup versions as presently your setting is default at only one backup per app.

Anyone has problem with insufficient storage space on sdcard?

Last weekend (i made backup every Sunday) all was fine, but yesterday and today I got this error all the time...

Device is ASUS Transformer tf300t with PAC-man KK rom.

Tried reformatting SDcard, using Folder Mount to emulate making backups to Internal Memory, nothing.

I found that it's problem with backup files, not the app itself, as whe created to Internal Memory, some files cannot be copied/moved to SD (no enough space, java.lang.OutOfMemoryError).

Tried Wipe of Cache and Dalvik (doing it now again), had disabled mount namespace in SuperSU, but just enabled it, and did a wipe, coz on other KK device I have it enabled and everything is fine.

I have had this problem in the past. You have to restore all the other apps and do that one on its own. If it still won't restore that app then you have to install the app from the .apk and then restore only the data.

So it seems TIBU still can't back the external data of games like Asphalt 8 or Nova 3? Has anyone comes across some other apps which could allow to back games of that type so that on flashing your droid with a new rom you can quickly restore these games+data and pick up from where you left?!
[Desire Themes and Apps] kk-ftp:
Going to bump this thread beverage there is clearly an issue with TIBU on MM. I created a back up a few days ago before installing a new rom on my s7 edge. I moved the back up folder to ext sd card, after installing new ROM and pro version of tibu it doesn't detect my back up (even after scanning whole device)

I had a little bit of fiddle and found out that the back up on my ext sd card filename ended with ".zip" whereas if i created a new backup on my int sd card it didn't have ".zip".

So after renaming ALL my zip files (150 of then) manually. Tibu finally managed to recognise my backups. However, there's a catch. It only let me restore DATA and not the app itself.

What is wrong with this app? I never had this issue on my s5 and even with android N running on that phone (cm14) there's no issue...

What's the deal guys?
[Desire Themes and Apps] nickimola:
app stuck on "Searching application data"

I saved a backup with titanium, installed a different rom (clean install) and then now I am ready to restore my backup. The problem is:

When I open Titanium, it's stuck at "Searching Application Data" message and it won't let me do anything.

I already tried:

uninstall and reinstall Titanium

tried with an older version

tried removing SU permission (no message but I can't do anything)

tried typing in the terminal as suggested on XDA developers the following

su
restorecon -FR /data/media/0

I don't know what else to try. My backup folder has stuff in it, I just need to be able to launch the app...

Any idea? Sorry I can't be more precise but I don't really know any more details than that, apart that I am on android 7.1.1.

thanks

Auto Sign in ? ?

Most of the custom ROM's are mentioning to clean flash the new updates instead of dirty flash. If I backup everything from Tatanium will the sign too present ? I have 100+ apps n nearly 40 of the apps required to sign.

Most of the apps have sync option in the app itself . My question is titanium can bring back the sign in's too or we manually has to do this ? If so whats so great about it ?

my phone has an issue where the notification badge on an app icon does not disappear. This is occurring on the messaging app. I received two texts during the night which I did not see until the morning. However, during this time, an automated Titanium Backup was made (I don't know if it matters though). The messaging app constantly shows a 2 in the red bubble beside the app icon indicating unread messages. There are no associated notifications in the bar. Further text messages correctly appear in the notification bar but do not change the number of the messaging app. I have tried restoring a previous Titanium backup and even reflashed my rom (Batman Rom) to no avail.

I have tried googling this problem and many of the users report this issue on HTC devices but none of the suggested methods in those threads worked for me.

Please Help

Old backups don't contain app itself any more

Hello, I hope i am not wrong in this Thread!

I noticed now, that some older apps, which i backed up on my Galaxy S3 years ago and then saved on my PC can't be restored any more. I can only restore the App-Data, if i manually install the app first, e.g. from PlayStore. This now happened also to newer apps and is quite annoying now.

What did I do: Backed up my apps using Titanium Backup and copied the whole folder to my PC. Formatted my SD-Card, copied all backups back on it and tried to restore the Apps.

Anyone got ideas what is causing this problem?
[Desire Themes and Apps] jazzh:
I had a similar problem, I think there was no busy box installed. Anyway, data backup is more important so you're OK. As the last solution you can extract those apks from tar.gz manually.

[Desire Themes and Apps] angusc:
It covered in the first post......? Check your system desktop backup (should be a green text) and ensure it has the same version number as your new ROM desktop file. If the same version then you should be ok to restore it but a always make an NANDROID before you try.

ِAnother question

what is the definition of user app and system data.

for me to understand I need examples

Settings of a application that I installed say color note fonts or appearing in tile mode

is it system data or user app.

My clock alarms??

sms and call log??

DCIM folder

down load folder

orux map (the application itself)??

the maps folder under orux map folder??

bookmarks of dolphin browser

my e mail user name and password

I need to know for each one whether it is user app or system data.

[Desire Themes and Apps] seaders:
Hey guys, I've looked for a specific Titanium Backup thread, but can't seem to find one (they're all like this, just under a specific device), but I'm having a problem with TB on my Desire. Earlier today I decided to try get some space back for my phone and I tried to move one of the system Google apps onto the SD Card. I thought I'd moved it, then checked if it worked and it did, but I must have made a mistake. I moved all the biguns to the SD Card; Gmail, Maps and Youtube and as soon as I'd done that, none of them launched, they all went straight to 'Force Close' and if I try move any back to Internal Memory, or uninstall and reinstall the whole phone crashes and reboots.

Both Youtube and Gmail now launch by me detaching the app from the Market, but this is less than ideal, because now I won't get any update notifications for them, so if Google change their APIs, the apps will become redundant. Anybody got some ideas about how I can undo what I did?
[Desire Themes and Apps] angusc:
Yeah just reflash your ROM over without wiping anything. This will put all the moved files back in their current places and you still have all your apps.

[Desire Themes and Apps] angusc:
Well you can always copy the titanium folder to your pc, then delete the contents on your sdcard. Then start a fresh with titanium back ups on your device.

Otherwise just set the back up history to 1 and regularly delete unwanted or un installed apps from within titanium.
