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!!

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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?
Hi all, quick question about restoring apps on a fresh ROM install. A while back when I dropped TW in favor of CM10.1, after I flashed gapps, all of the apps I had on TW were re-downloaded, I think maybe through Google Play? It happened automatically, and I was (pleasantly) surprised when all of my apps and their settings were restored without me doing much work - I didn't even titanium if I remember correctly.
Now, I'm trying to move to a 10.2CM ROM and I have no idea how to get my phone to do this again. It was very convenient.
Anyone have an idea how that happened, and how I could get my phone to do it again? One other thing to note is that I briefly tried 10.2 and titanium said that it did not have root access - anyone else have this happen?
The automatic backup and restore from your Google account is dependent on the gapps package that you use.
It should happen automatically after you go through the setup process.
I properly configured it after I flashed a new ROM and TiB just can't find the backup in my Dropbox. I can't find the answer but it seems other people have the same problem. I really don't want to have to download all the individual backup files and reinstall my apps one by one. That's not why I bought the Pro key for TiB. So...does anyone know how I restore my apps from my backup?
Edit: After 4 tries of uninstalling and reinstalling, apparently, you just need to hit Run in the Schedules section and it will download it from your Dropbox.
Edit: So it appeared to download all my apps but it still wouldn't let me actually restore the apps or data...
Edit: And it somehow managed to get itself to work. Problem unintentionally solved.
i did a fresh reset in recovery mode. had to bypass allowing restore during initial setup after reset due to screen lock pin error.
Can't get the restore backup to add to my phone from google drive. What am i doing wrong?
It seems like the old backup to be used to restore is blockng the new initial setup on the phone from creating a new backup....which is good because i want to restore that old back from yesterday . it was before i did a fresh reset.
Phone is activated on the same google account that the backup is stored on in google drive. 2 factor is turned off.
according to this tutorial, If i skip restoring during initial setup i should get a notification to continue finish setup....i have not (3+hrs)

Some of the contacts have been added back to the phone automatically somehow and 52 of the apps are showing as installed in google play out of 105 apps total not sure how they got here as the restore has never happened.
In the past the apps were placed back on the homescreen where they belong when a restore was done, that did not happen yet. Is it supposed to?
When i go into backup in settings it says that it is already on and waiting to backup?
Support told me to try to turn it off and then on again but that triggers a warning telling me that it will delete the backup permanently that i want to restore from google drive.

so what do i do to get the restore backup to load back onto the phone?
support told me to go to the google account recovery page and sign in.
Would the google account recovery login help with this?
I can't seem to tell what that page does?
thanks for any advice!
Hi all,
just got my Galaxy S22 Plus yesterday. I tried to restore a Google Drive backup from my previous phone (Oneplus 6 - Android 11) but it says "No backup found".
Does anyone have an idea if that should technically work? To be honest, I have never restored a Google Drive backup.
Would be great if anyone could help.
Thanks.
EDIT: The Oneplus 6 backup is showing up on Google Drive but there is not way to restore it.
I had the exact same problem a couple of days ago tried everything, ended up doing a factory reset as a last resort and my backups reappeared
This took me forever to figure out.
But I only get the option to restore from Google Drive, if I click "I don't have the phone" during the phone setup.
