I have just recently downloaded Titanium Backup in order to save my apps because I want to try new ROMs that say to do full wipes including EXT wipes. I was just curious what the proper way to use the program to restore apps was. Also, if Titanium Backup saves to your sd card and you do an EXT wipe, won't that delete all of your saved data? How does it restore? I hope this question isnt on the forum somewhere, I tried searching and couldnt quite find the answer i was looking for.
Thanks for the help. You guys on here have been lifesavers.
Hi,
Okay so first Titanium backup will back up your system settings and your applications and does a fine job at it too! When you wipe your Ext2/3/4 partition all your doing is cleaning off any data held in it. This does not effect your fat 32 partition which is where all your stuff is (pictures, albums, films, ringtones etc) I haven't deleted my fat32 partition ever as this never needs touching really. Apps2sd runs from your Ext partiton so wiping will kill all your apps but this is where Titanium comes in and as it saves to the fat32 partition you have no worries wiping. Also suggest backing up on a PC, I do once a week and saved me a few headaches
Open Titanium and hit menu, then batch. This will bring up a list of options to 'Run' backup or restore. I would strongly suggest also to donate $3.99 for the paid version with the hyper shell.
Anything else you need help with?
Nope. Thanks man. I just needed a few things cleared up before I went ahead and wiped my ext. You were a great help.
No problem, glad to have helped
you say it saves system settings...
so i have about 30 ringtones set to specific contacts, if i wipe/flash a new rom.
restore using titanium backup. Will all those ringtones be set back to the proper contacts automatically with TTB? cuz its a pain in the *** setting them each new rom
i tried mybackup pro a long time ago and it didn't do this which is why i don't waste my time with that app. (that may be changed now, it's been about 8 months)
would I be able to Restore my backup if I have flashed a new rom without problems?
I'm having problems with Titanium Backup. I made backup of a lot of apps before flashing some new stuff to my Galaxy S, but now when I try to restore them it just gets stuck. At first there's that little window saying restoring, but that disappears and it seems like everything is fine. However, when I try to restore next app it just says that a process is already running and it stays that way until I kill it via Autokiller. The app gets installed so that's fine, but the problem is that I would really like to just run a batch-operation and not have to kill the Titanium-process for every app i have back-up of...
Any solutions good people of XDA?
check at the new version, it has an alternative restore mode that you need to enable for it to work on the galaxy s
Another restore question
I installed Titanium backup on my Galaxy S Captivate yesterday, did a batch backup of "all user apps + System Data" in the list it showed the bloatware ATT apps which I wanted to uninstall but with the option of reinstalling them if I ever needed to bring the phone back to ATT.
I did a test uninstall of one of the market apps and then did a restore and it worked fine. Then I tried to un installed one of the ATT apps, which worked but when I tried to restore it by clicking on the crossed out app at the bottom of the list, there is no option to restore it, just delete.
Did I do something wrong with the backup or am I not restoring it properly? my test worked fine so I thought I had it figured out but obviously I am doing something wrong.
any help would be appreciated.
thanks!
Similar problem with no luck at reinstalling Att apps. I accidently deleted google talk and now cannot download new apps.
I have a similar question to the OP.
If I use the Master Clear or whatever is called to restore my phone to stock...that is supposed to delete the internal SD Card so, if I were to copy the Titanium Back Up folder to my PC then copy it back to the SD card after the clearing is done...would that be enough to restore all the games and apps?
I have titanium backup stored in sdcard, this backup is settings/wallpaper, is possible to extract from this file only wallpaper, without restoring all backup to the phone??
My news app/widget not working on MY HTC DHD even after several reboot/restart. So I decided to back up the apps and widget trough titanium backup and uninstall the app+widget. After reinstalling the apps/widget. the news app is working again but the widget, I cant find it in widget menus when I tried to add it to home screen.
Any help appreciated.
Thx

Also have a question about this program
It's restores my apps great. Very happy about it. But when you have installed ur apps back.
When I go to the android market they are not listed in my apps.
Though when i go and look for the app in the store it says installed. Yet can't check the allow automatic update checkbox.
Hope I make sense???
So I can't update it basically???Or when there is an update it will show up in my apps ???
My SD card was fried last night... everything gone. Good thing I backed up everything onto my laptop last week. Got a new SD card and copied everything over from the laptop. When I go into TB app, it doesnt show what I copied over. SHows I have no apps in memory... I made sure to copy everything into the "Titanium Backup" folder in my SD card. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

This happened to me as well. Go into the "more" option thru Titanium and select the Market Doctor. This should link your apps back up with the Market. Also, sometimes simply installing an app thru the Market and/or a reboot will get my installed apps to show up properly.
OK thanks. Will try it out.

Hope that worked, but just in case, there's another way. Once in Titanium, click backup/restore, and then scroll to your desired app. Long press the app and then click the option to "attach to market (forced)."
Market Doctor - Amazon Market
I installed a new ROM and restored my apps with TiBu. I was having some syncing problems in the Android Market so I ran Market Doctor. The problem is that I did not know to de-select the Amazon sourced apps so 47 of them got linked to the Android Market. I have since manually de-linked (long press) each of those apps solving most of the problem but they still show up in the Market list but under the 'Not Installed' section at the bottom. Is there a way to permanently break the link? I am concerned about having to deal with it in the future. Maybe re-run Market Doctor following the proper de-select process?
So I rooted my phone today, got Titanium Backup and Root Manager. Before I started mass uninstalling the bloatware, I tested it first. I made a backup of Airhorn, then went into the system files and deleted the .apk. Then I restored it in Titanium Backup and viola, it's back. So i tried one of the bloatware programs, The Sims 3. I backed it up, then deleted the .apk in the datatmo/games/ea folder. I try to restore, and it says restore data only, Airhorn I could restore App+Data. Now the Sims 3 icon is still there, but gives me this error: There is a problem parsing the package.
So I can't restore it, and the icon is still there. Can i get the .apk file back and have a way to back it up so I can restore it in the case that I need to install it again? Or did I screw up?
Anyone? Please?
Hmmm well I do have both apks Sims 3 requires to run but would it be considered pirating if I posted a link? I'm fairly certain other phones would be able to run it.
Well I got the .apk, but now i have two shortcuts to the game and they both work, now I dunno what files to backup so i can delete them and back them up, whats the name of the two files?
Sims3_Samsung_Embed_Launcher.apk and The_Sims_3.apk
Thanks, all good now
Good greef same problem here. Someone please help me get the Sims back please.
what is the fix for this issue? I have the same problem.. too...
Search didn't turn up anything. I used this thread

to recover from a soft brick, now I'm trying to re-root so I can restore my nandroid backup but no apps are installing. Can't install rom manager, titanium, etc. It immediately says download was unsuccesful with no reasoning. Internet is working fine over wifi. Any suggestions?
I also just disabled wifi and tried it from the mobile network, still no go. I don't know what to do now. Please help!
Also I did not restore any apps yet, and I have tried clearing the cache in a list of several apps I found on another thread having the same issue (including market) which did not work.
I think I've found a way around this by downloading the apps I needed (one click root and ROM manager) onto my droid and copying the .apk files over, so I can get around this problem, but can someone explain to me what I did wrong?
Hello, after rooting and attempting to flash ClockworkMod on my LG Optimus 2X (P-9999DW), I got stuck in the endless reboot loop, so I had to do a hard factory reset. I lost all my apps, but I had previously moved the contents of my phone's internal SD card (totaling 647 MB) to a folder on my Windows 7 machine. I'm really new to Android phones so I didn't know that one could back up apps through Titanium Backup. When I move the contents of the file to my phone, the phone doesn't recognize any of the old apps I had. I still have the 'Superuser' app from root, though. I had a couple of games with full save data in my 'backup' folder too. I'd love to get them back on my phone somehow.
Is there any way to view my app history from my Gmail account so that I can download them again manually? Or is there some program I can use to put the apps from the backup that I saved on my computer back on my phone? Please help a silly noob out! Thank you.
P.S. Ever since I did the hard reset, my phone's SIM card isn't showing up. Should I call my mobile service provider, or is it just a technical issue? Please answer!
TitaniumBackup should solve it...
maybe under me smarter,heuheuheu...
I'm new to this forum so i don't know wether i'm posting this in the right sub but i need help with restoring my phone's data. I stupidly used wondershare's "dr fone" to backup all my data on the computer which created a 15.9 gb .bak file. Problem is i didn't know that in order to restore this to your phone you had to have a subscription, before i wiped my phone. Now i am left with the aforementioned .bak file and i would like to know if there are any free pc applications that can restore all my data to the phone using this file. Thanks in advance.

Hi, thanks for replying. I just took a look. I tried a few other apps from google play since appbak was no longer on there, unfortunately none of them were able to use the file (I copied the .bak file from my pc to my phone's internal storage). I then found an old version of appbak through chrome and installed it but it also couldn't use the .bak file to restore my data. Eventually I tried restoring it through my phone's settings like a couple of people recommended but the only backup setting I could find was "Backup by Google One" (because my phone runs on Android One, which is focused on Google Services) and I could not use a local file to start restoring. At this point I might just try to restore my data manually but any further help would be appreciated. Thanks a lot.
