Been using BitTrix's CM 7 for awhile but wanted to go back and give the latest Tnt Lite and Vegan a try. Flashed the roms no problem. Ran into an issue when restoring my apps and data with titanium backup. Any app I restored data for just fc when opened. If I restored just the app, it would open fine. Tried adjusting the settings in TB but still no luck.
Repeated on both roms and had the same issue. As a last resort flashed the official CM 7 rom didn't have any problems restoring apps and data.
The only thing I could think of is whether data backed up on 2.3 is incompatible with 2.2.
Anyone else have issues like this?
Thanks.
I've had the same problem on the Droid Incredible. Haven't found anyway to move back to an older ROM and keep data yet.

I've always used MyBackup Root to backup and restore my apps when going from ROM to ROM and never had a problem. Recently I backed up my apps (NOTE: I NEVER backup system apps, just user/third-party apps and the only system data I back up is calendar data) in a 2.2 ROM (Trigger) in order to flash a 2.2.1 one (Bi-Winning) without issues. I flashed the new ROM and proceeded to restore the apps using MyBackup, again with virtually no problems, everything went smoothly and the market apps had their links restored, etc.
However when I started using my apps, most of them had weird problems. Some were force closing, others had missing data or no data at all, and some were simply broken. I instantly lost track of what worked and what didn't. I assumed this was caused by a bad flash so I re-downloaded the ROM and flashed it again making sure I followed all the instructions to the letter. Then I restored everything again and all of my apps were behaving the same way. This isn't the case if I delete then reinstall an app using Market or another source that is not MyBackup.
After freaking out/****ting bricks/etc, I started looking for ways to deal with the problem. This is what I've done so far:
- Used a 1-week old MyBackup folder that had worked before when I went from Bionix to Trigger. (Failed: Similar, if not the same, results)
- Flashed Trigger again and both folders failed.
- Flashed a different ROM (phiremod) and tried both folders. Fail again.
I'm about to delete my folders, start from scratch with no app data, and use Titanium Backup from now on. Has anyone had similar problems?
Just thought I'd give an update since this has gotten over 90 views.
I started from scratch ever since and have been using Titanium Backup Pro. I've switched to many 2.2.1 and 2.2 ROMs so far without issues and all of the restores have been flawless.
I've had my gtab about a week. i initially installed clockworkmod and TNT 4.4. I would now like to try Vegan. Can I just do an install of Vegan, or is there some wipe procedure needed first? I have a Titanium backup.
ti backup is more for backing up apps. when installing a new rom like vegan-tab its best to use clockworks and make a backup of your current Rom thats installed so if you change and don't like it can go back without redoing anything you have done on the rom. i my self have went from tnt to vegan tab and love vegan.
answer to your question is yes just install like you normally would, id suggest doing a factory reset after installing also.
I always do a factory reset (Data Wipe) before and after installing a new ROM. It prevents some forms of boot looping and only adds a couple minutes to the process.
Use titanium backup to backup both app and data if you want. But I have found some instability issues with restoring data along with app. And others have reported the same thing. So, it's best to just restore app without data. I actually did several tests and so far I have not experienced a single FC, freeze, or reboot with rom with restored app only. The roms with restored app and data i have experienced FC's, freezes, and soft reboots. Take this for what it's worth.
So recently i stopped using MIUI on my phone and switched back to stock, after doing this i updated my phone to gingerbread. Only after using titanium backup to install my data and apps from when my phone was on MIUI did the 3G stop working. I have done a factory reset and installed everything again and as before the mobile network ceases to work after installing with titanium backup. What i was thinking is that it must be something in the data from the MIUI rom that was backed up onto titanium that is causing my phone to do this.
Any solutions.
Thanks
I have tested at least 5 ICS roms (including the latest XXLPB) and have had problems with them all. The main problem being that the phone goes into a deep sleep that it can't wake up from, or it simply resets itself.
Now I never had these problems with GB roms, but I never uses titanium backup PRO with GB either.
Last night I installed XXLPB and used it for about an hour or so, installed titanium and went to bed.
Went to use it this morning and it's turned off and I have to pull the battery.
Are other people using titanium with ICS roms with no problems?
Maybe the problem u have its the apk (titanium)
I been used ics rom (xxlp6) and i used titanium last night to reduce the unused apk andits working good. Good lock and try another version of titanium i use v.3.6.7
Never had any issues until XXLPB.
Now apps wont restore to the sdcard and apps fail to install from the market when they try to install to sdcard. All previous restores to lp2/lp6 worked fine.

need to remove the ext-sd card
i did have the same issue, somebody on other thead mentioned and i did try it and worked.
the other bug I found with TB was that when you unfreeze a system app it doesn't restore it. You have to back it up, uninstall and reinstall.

I do not have any issues like sleep of death or reboots with Titanium Pro installed, I just couldnt restore my apps. It worked in CM9 but in XXLPB it freezes (titanium, not the phone) restoring most of apps. I did have this issues with setcpu in CM9.
Edit: Found a workaround.

I restore from TB often while testing different roms, and on LPB just 3 of my backed up apps freeze the process of restore, even if i restore it just them, on gingerbread or past ics versions no problem at all (i'm using the pro version)

Same here, it was 3-4 apps out of around 50 I have that made TB pause. I simply installed them from the market again and restored the data only.
I had no problems until XXLPB when some apps wouldn't restore. I set the restore backups to option to internal storage and they restored.
restore to internal memory worked fine with respect to titanium.
But i still have the installation from market error.
I'm running CM10.2, and ever since making the jump from 10.1 I've been having problems backing up my downloaded apps and app data. I know there were some file structure changes in 4.3 and I'm assuming it's related to that. I have tried multiple backup apps that had previously worked, but with no luck. Does anyone have a workaround for this, or am I simply out of luck?
