Hey All,
I would like to ask anyone who knows how I can properly use Titanium Backup I would really appreciate it. The problem i've had before is that when ever I backup I never seem to know how to properly back up my apps so I can also back up the data like my saved games on angry birds, and my tags on sound hound. If I back up and thn restore I always mess something up and my roms end up all screwed. please some one guide me!!!!
I usually only backup user apps. Press the options button on the bottom left of the vibrant. Then choose batch, then choose backup all user apps.

Like I said though, doing that only backs up the apps but it doesn't back up the data i.e. shazam tags, etc.

I always select Back up all APP + System data option and that should work
There is a thread on the proper use of Titanium and the best practices, its on my list to find and study today. When I find it I will post and edit.

im interested in this too.
the pain of setting everything up again is actually the only thing keeping me from flashing a new rom. (flashed my mytouch so much that i only kept a few apps)
and can the free version do everything the paid version can do?

thanks alot. I'll look at it now. I hate flashing ROMS sometimes because I don't get my app data. It sucks having to start Angry Birds from leverl 1 every time I flash something!
I use mybackup pro n backup apps. ..gives option to backup apk + data. Has worked well for me. Don't have re -download apps or anything.
I know this doesn't necessarily answer the question but it gives a way to backup apps+data(bookmarks,texts,call log, settings, etc)

hey, to make a long story short since i'm sure you don't wanna have to read a whole page,
this my first Android phone coming from iPhone. I had originally gotten the skyrocket, but after getting throttled the second day and wanting to be able to customize and reading the i777 is the superior device, I decided to swap back to the i777 yesterday.
I had the skyrocket rooted and used titanium backup to backup my apps and system data. so I rooted this phone and tried to restore ask the apps and system data. everything at first looked like a perfect switch, but now I found problems. so far from what I've found, when I try to change ringtones using Android system the phone freezes and then it said that it had to force close.
the purge problem is the alarms, when I try to edit one or create a new one, it freezes again and force closes.
does anyone know a way to make it work while keeping all my apps and not having to start from scratch again? I'd be fine with having to redo all the settings and options if I have to
thanks for any help

TiBu has an option for only "missing apps and data" when restoring - this is the only safe option (in rare cases even it fails, but it's rare).
There's also an experimental "system data migration" option in TiBu that's off by default - I've never used it, and be warned that it may not work at all when trying to change to a completely different device.
ok, so you're saying
instead of doing the "restore apps plus system data", do the "restore missing apps with data"?

This is exactly the kind of attitude that causes newbies to get flamed. This is NOT the Help Desk. No one is paid to help you in here. We expect you to FIND help for yourself by reading and when no help can be found, THEN post. Laziness is not to be rewarded. Anyone familiar with TiBU knows that you should almost never restore system data with it because it will cause problems except in specific situations. Had you done a little searching and reading you would have likely come across this info as it is well documented in here. Be thankful Entropy took pity on you and gave you the right answer despite your laziness.

My attitude is fine. TiBU is one of THE most used apps on Android phones and by users in here and if you're saying you searched and did not find an answer about this then I say you're full of it. Like I said, be thankful Entropy helped you out because more often than not he feels the same way about this kind of thing. Redundant threads clog up the forums and it is always better to post to an existing related thread than to start a new one. All members should keep that in mind before hitting the Submit button.

If you're on a stock ROM I believe superuser will be wiped. So, you'll have to re-root. If you're on a custom ROM and do a factory reset, root should remain intact.
All he has to do is really wipe and install the rom he was using. Just do as they said with titanium backup and you'll be fine.

Ya, I did a factory rest and my root ended up staying on the phone and I was able to restore everything and
Have no problem. Thanks for your help guys. This is my first Android after coming from an iPhone for 4 years. Its so much better.

The title says it all.....
I am NOT looking to flash a ROM yet. I want to stick with the stock rom / sense...
Now that I took all the bloatware off.....
What else could / should I do????
Maybe improve battery life?
Maybe tweak settings??
What are some cool things I can do to my cool Amaze...
What do you guys think????? I need ur opinions!!!

Lol most of what you ask comes with flashing custom roms and kernels. I guess you can start by exploring root only apps...?

Try System Tuner (free on the market)
adjust clock speed when the phone is on standby. You will see a significance in battery. Or you can try a different battery app. Explore your options.
Sent by accident from my Amaze using Tapatalk
highly recommend titanium backup on the market it's worth the price...you can get rid of bloatware with it too, and back up and and all programs and their data...
the person above is right, system tuner is a good program, but I don't know how it'll do with the stock kernel, if you downclock your phone you might start to see some lag...if you do decide to do that make sure you go to boot settings in system tuner and make sure set cpu on boot completion so everytime your phone restarts you don't have to reset the settings you put in system tuner..
honestly the best way to get a better battery life is don't install a lot of junk and you can also use the program juice defender...
install badass battery program and see what is sucking up the battery...
good luck

Hello,
Similar situation here. Rooted my Droid Razr Maxx today to remove the Verizon bloatware. I only did this because they where insisting I update their apps and give them more permissions and I didn't use them either.
I'm not looking to use a custom rom or anything, just wanted to remove those apps. I did use the backup option on each app prior to deleting it.
The Beginners guide suggests I add CWM. Is this really needed for my situation or should I get this setup as well? I won't be loading any roms and plan to stick with the default one. I am fine with it just wanted the bloatware to be gone.
I would've flashed a recovery first. Just because you can make a backup and reflash it just incase something goes wrong. Like removing something you shouldn't have. To each his own. But if the RZR Maxx is anything like the older Moto devices you can use RSD Lite to go back to completely stock. So since this is the HTC Amaze Forum I don't know if that option is available for the RZR. You can navigate yourself to those forums and ask over there.
Wait....I sent this with Tapatalk?

I used titanium backup to backup the apps before I deleted them.
I haven't used TB in a long time.. But I don't think you can restore system/apps after they are removed. Unless its different now.

I have the option on the apps I removed to restore them from backup.
I have yesterday flashed ICS first time in my life, rooted it and installed titanium backup Pro (the first time too). Then I uninstalled more than forty precious pre-installed apps what definitely were placed there for my benefit and thriving...
So far everything’s running just perfect. I can’t imaging smartphone can perform better than what I hold and play in my hands. I am so happy again with my amaze.
However, I still have seven apps “frozen” in my TB. I do not understand what to do.
1. Google Backup Transport.
2. Google One Time Init.
3. Google Partner Setup.
4. Maps.
5. PC Synchronization.
6. Location Picker.
7. Network Location.
PLEASE someone who understand the meaning of the aforementioned ones advise me so I would better refrain from removing them too..
Thank You. Merci Beaucoup. Muchas Gracias. Danke.

If you ask me, those apps that you have frozen are quite important to your phone. I have to go to work I am late so I'll try to respond in depth tomorrow when I get back.
Hi there. I have a couple of questions to ask about my GalaxyS3. GT-19300. Android version 4.1.1. Baseband version 19300BUDL12. Kernel version 3.0.31-256827.
Firstly after what seems like days & days of 'research' I finally plucked up the courage to root my phone, hoping to rid myself of all the bloatware. For a complete newbie like me it was quite daunting really but once I did it, it seemed fairly easy enough? I have installed Nobloat but have not yet used it as I have a few issues that I need resolving?
Anyway since rooting I have downloaded TitaniumBackup & hopefully backed up my files? It took me hours & hours to find out how/where to save it to my external sd card? I am still unsure if I've managed to back up absolutely everything ie; texts & so on? Here is my first question, I have tried to sync my backup to my dropbox but while its 'uploading' it suddenly stops & says stopped because of 'internal error'? What does this mean & why is it happening & what can I do about it?
My next question is since I've rooted my phone, it as gone very very slow, in everything it does, even in my messages it shows the number for 5seconds or so before it actually changes to the contacts name? Is there a reason why my phone is so slow?
My next question is, I think, maybe related. I have ZDbox installed & now when I go to clear/use task killer, my phone reboots? Is there e reason for this & have I done something wrong or am I missing something silly?
I know there are quite a few question here & I have looked & used the search button but I obviously can't see for looking & I have spent a large chunk of time researching/looking for answers?
Anyhow thank you for reading my many questions & hopefully someone can point me in the right direction? It is quite daunting messing with your expensive phone knowing thjat you could potentially 'brick' it!! :fingers-crossed:
Regards Jay
Can't answer all your questions but tb doesn't back up your texts. There are other apps that back up texts without needing root. It only backs up apps and app data. With regards to your dropbox sync, you might have put in the wrong login details? I used it for a while and it was fine.
As for the phone slowing down, try backing everything and do a complete wipe.

Thanks for the quick response:good:. I shall look into the apps that can backup/save texts. I never thought to look there to be honest!!
With regard to my Dropbox, I definitely have the correct log in details, like I say, it gets to about 30% uploaded then comes up with 'internal error'!?
Also would that be a factory reset when you mention complete wipe? Would I then need to download Titanium again to restore my phone to near enough what it is now?
Jay
Back up everything you can, put it safe somewhere else (external sd or pc). Go into recovery and do a full wipe (cache, data, dalvik cache) and reboot. You'll have to set everything up again (login details and etc), but seems like it's the only option afaik.

Sorry to bump this!! I think I know why my phone is so slow, looking through other threads it must be my JB update? (I hope?) So hopefully this will be sorted as soon as my other problem is resolved..... My missing photo? as per my other thread!!
Why not try flashing another rom. Remeber to backup all your files to your pc.

I have only just plucked up the courage to root my phone!!!!! never mind 'flash a new rom' !!!!!!
I'm starting to go crazy with looking at all the various information for hours on end & seemingly getting nowhere & no closer to flashing a new rom?
Now then, funny thing is, my phone has mysteriously gone back to being fairly fast again?? Again I don't know what's happened to revert it back? So at least that's one of my problems sorted :good:
Oh & my other thread about my missing photo as been resolved, I had backed my phone up quite a while back & found it in some old files on an external hard drive, yipeee!!

Congrats!
Thank you, it took me a while to figure out what i was doing. I am super excited i finally was able to get a stable release.
After playing around a bit i noticed the autocomplete bar just above the keyboard with suggested words when typing is gone. I havent tried a third party keyboard to see if this is something to do with the samsung keyboard failing or if i removed something that prevents this from working correctly...
Haven't noticed any other bugs just yet.

I have to ask what might end up being a naive question: Why is the public offered these "Developer Edition" phones? For me, it would be in hopes that enthusiast ROMs get developed for that device. But, if the retail end is never updated and never unlocked, then what good would a Developer Edition phone be, except to the singular owner? Maybe that's all it is intended to be? Just curious. I guess the name is the misnomer. Rather than Developer Edition, just call it Unlocked... It would be a cool thing if Verizon/Samsung would offer to turn our retail phones into the Developer Edition phones for a fee.
It has the do with Verizon. They can't market it as a retail unlocked device amd since it will only work with verizon they can't really say its the "global" or "international" version. I believe if they marketed the device as "Verizon unlocked device" they would have to also offer it at a subsidized prive or "upgrade" and it would be regulated by verizon. We have seen what Verizon does to phones, I would really like if they never touched the devices.
Thay said the developer edition is to encourage developers to buy the device and make not just roms but apps as well. It would.be more so marketed towards someone who is not using this device as their daily driver but want to grab one just to tinker and make neat things specific to the device or use it to test things they've already built for compatibility so theey can update their apps to rin on this device as well.
Conaumers have never used anything with android on it strictly as planned though. If that was the case we would jave.none of this amazing developmemt, thats what I love about the android OS its so flexible.
Anyhow back on track, did you test the rom? What did you think? Should I include anything else or remove something else?

Thanks for the response. I hadn't really consider the making of apps as a reason.. LOL.
I don't have the Developer Edition yet, just the retail, so I have't run the ROM. I am seriously considering selling my retail to get the DE so that I can get onto Android 5.x. Every phone that I have ever owned was rootable (and I have had a lot of phones), but this is the first one that has no root in sight and no update in sight, so, I am considering the Note Edge DE or the Note 4 DE. (Honestly, I am hedging toward the Note 4 DE. I had the Note 4 just before this Note Edge and prefer the 4 a bit more). Anyway, that is why I am lurking in here, trying to get info on the DE.
The note 4 has more support for sure. And it is hard to find a decent note edge case. O couldn't see myself ever going back to abphone without an edge though. (not the silly s6 edges either, I need a real edge.) In any case no matter what phone you choose I am sure you'll enjoy it. These note series phones are my favorites so far. Could onot be better if they had included a physical keyboard like the droids had back in the day. Physical keyboards are boss. good luck with whichever device you pick, if that happens to be the edge let me know what you think.

Could you pm me the links to all the needed files to do the extraction of the boot and every thing needed to make a stock tar from my phone? Also the links to the kitchen and such?
Thanks in advance.
I wasn't able to make a stock tar flashable in odin.
However to get a system tar which isn't flashable but can be opened in 7zip and extracted to give you all your syatem files you just need to open the terminal emulator, type su then hit enter so you can elevate your session to root. Then type tar -c system/* >> sdcard/system.tar then you'll get system.tar on the root of your internal storage.
Then to get the boot image you need to dl some files from http://www.androidforims.com/threads/without-pc-unpack-edit-repack-boot-img.811999/ and follow his tutorial for the extract part. But our file system is a bit different so the command is different.
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/boot of=/data/local/tmp/boot.img
Then use root explorer to find the file in data/local/tmp folder.
The kitchen I used to make my custom was archi. Get it @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2597220

Cool deal, thank you. Going to get it going asap, but I just found out my dad has bone cancer so it will probably get back burner'ed for a while.
Any idea how to make a flashable?
Other than making a rom like I did I wouldn't know how to make anything flashable. I'm really new to this, this is the first time I've done anything like this. You could ask around the other developer's threads or send one a pm. But I'm sure the best we can do is a rom flashable in twrp or cwm.

Android 4.4.4 I am looking into what it would take to get a lolipop rom on our devices, and also I am looking into a full aosp build to completely remove touchwiz. For now I am happy getting the tw launchers out of here and all the junk apps. Look for more of.my.stuff in the future I am far from done with this rom or this device.

Thank you, it took me a while to figure out what i was doing. I am super excited i finally was able to get a stable release.
After playing around a bit i noticed the autocomplete bar just above the keyboard with suggested words when typing is gone. I havent tried a third party keyboard to see if this is something to do with the samsung keyboard failing or if i removed something that prevents this from working correctly...
Haven't noticed any other bugs just yet.

To fix the no auto complete on keyboard open your keyboard hit settings and download your language again and that should fix it.

Awesome. that's probably it I must have deleted that in the rom. I'm using a different keyboard though and the bar is there. I was just thinking for someone else using the rom and wants to use the swype feature on stock it may be a problem. Ill look into what I may have deleted that would have erased the dictionary.

That's odd. Should be able to install. Try using the method in the other thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3103782
I can only think of a few reasons TWRP would fail to install. Check the usual stuff like cables and md5 checksums, then try to see if you deleted aboot somehow.
If you lost that then you will need one of the more experienced folks here at XDA to help recover that, if even possible. The only methods I have available to offer you though would require you first have either TWRP or CWM installed.
Hope you get this resolved though. Let me know if you get through it.

Boy it'd be nice if Verizon just gave us a one-time option to convert our Note Edges to Developer Editions. Otherwise, I don't see there being much of a future for the phone.
