[Q] Can someone tell me the correct way to use Titanium Backup?(

I tried on my own and after running it on new rom I get a "Parse error" type of message.
First I nandroid backup/swipe.
Then install the new rom(SPrint lovers 3.7)
Then I went right to the marketplace and downloaded TB again.
It tells me to go to settings/applications and check the install "Unknown apps install" button. so I do that.
Then I open TB again and go to batch, then I selected the restore all apps options and it gives me a error.
I read somewhere it says you have to install them one by one?
I read somewhere something about you have to mount a few programs or something?

I know I was able to do then in batch but try one by one it might work.

If you get the paid pro version you can batch no problem.

I see, well can you list the steps you would take to RESTORE the saved apps because I don't know if I did it the correct way or just forgot to install a side app.

well i figured it out from the link posted above,thanks. so i'll give it one more try.

I would recommend on buying the full version. Make sure you tap on PROBLEMS and then download BusyBox. Afterwards you can hit MENU-BATCH and BACKUP USER APPS. I'd recommend not messing with any of the other options. If you flash different ROM's a lot it's better to just backup the apps ONLY.
If you were to do for example BACKUP USER APPS and SYSTEM DATA that could potentially bring a whole bunch of errors on your new ROM's and tons of Force Closes.
What I prefer to do is to manually download all my apps between ROM swaps and then using Titanium Backup to restore the data. An example of what I'm talking about is if you have a game that you regularly play, you'd want to restore your data so you don't have to go through the game again. Hope that's simple enough to understand.

You said when you try to download it from the market it says check install unknown applications? Its not suppose to do that... You must have downloaded it and tried installing through a app like astro. If so download another version and try.

[Q] CM7 (TB) Wont restore data after build 17?

Hello All,
Background info:
Cyanogenmod 7 , Nightly #17, 1/27/11 is what I currently have
Most Updated Titanium Backup
Tried this on Build #18 and #20.
Basically after I install the 18 or 20 I get no errors. I then go to Titanium Back up and restore my apps. (Only apps , no system data )
Is anyone else having this issue or is this all on my end and if so i'll be investigating further.
THanks!
Kyle
EDIT: I Have forgot to mention that yes I did do a Back Up before i installed it. I have done this everyday but until 18 and 20 this is arose >.<

Well I'm not sure if you did, because you didn't specify, but did back up the data as well? Because there is a backup all apps and a backup all apps with data option, the second is about 6 boxes down from the first option. That seems to be the problem. I hope this helps any...

Well I'm saying on the titanium backup, make sure to check the 4th option to back system data and apps. You can always check you SD card to make sure its there. I do the same and able to keep my data, also when you flash a build you don't have to wipe the data and cache, because it just updates since its technically an update.

And when you restore, you run the backup and restore all apps and data? And what data is missing, like the adw launcher settings, ect?

among other things like my twitter login and facebook and my vlc ****, though my ADW ex is still there which seems odd

i also cant open my market :/

additionally i get a error saying Google talk authentication failed...
Swype wont restore itself anymore, some apps like FB did restore the data this time, VLC did not, twitter didnt, my market is borked.
Not complaining, just seeing if anyone else has had issues?

Well wow, I don't know what to say. I would say try to re-flash your google gaps, and flash the newest set. I had some issues with older versions. I will keep trying to look into it.
link to google apps: http://www.mediafire.com/?qgt15ftd3gdby6v

yup i flashed what was in the clockwork mod file just now, 1/15/11, ill use this set to see what happens. It seems like my phone isnt linking to google since my icons are grayed out instead of color in the notifications bar

Yea, it doesn't seem like it is linking. But let me know what happens.

kk, installing now, ill let you know ^_^

no good, "Google Talk Authentication failed" App market closes on opening, my power widgets i notcied reset to stock CM7
This is all bad but i CANT complain
ima revert back to my old build i think for #17 i did a back up of it just in case 20 didnt work

That really sucks man. I know it isn't the google apps because I'm using the same package. The last thing I can think of [that worked for me] is try to go back to build 20, use titanium backup to restore your apps, JUST the apps, no data, restore. It should work. Then backup all your apps and data and backup your rom.

[Q] Restore help

Ok.... I made a few backups via nandroid using cwm. When I checking CWM I noticed that I had 4 backups.
1 of the backups was when I was using Bonsai 3, and has a program I want. It is not in the market anymore.
When I restored that backup I went back to Bonsai 3.
If I install the backup I made last night I get Bonsai 4, but I lose the program.
Also if I connect my phone to my laptop under Bonsai backup I only have 1 file which is 1kb so where are these backup files?
Thanks for the help! The newbies like me appreciate it.

I think there is a way. Someone else had a similiar problem and wanted to get their text message data out. It is in the thread below where 00dwan talks about unyaffs and data files. Seems a bit complicated but if the app is that important here you go. What is the name of the app? Maybe someone still has it and can upload it to you.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=993827
Hope this helps.

Also you can restore the Bonsai 3 backup with the app and then using Android Mate or any of a dozen backup programs, backup the app, or send it to the SD card, and then resinstall it after putting Bonsai 4 on.

Its actually wallpaper (yeah I know its stupid). I got it off the market it was called Nba wallpaper by nametz. It is not in the market anymore. I could not figure out how to move the file. I can press on hold on my home screen then click on wallpaper. I then can install from the gallery, wallpaper, or this file which is ... somewhere.
I tried titanium backup in the past which I thought was simple since it was set to back up everything once a week. However when I needed to install the data and files again I could not. So If you could recommend a simple program that is idiot proof I would appreciate it.

So it was actually an application that you downloaded from the market? With the app on your phone, get android mate from the market. Open it, look for the NBA Wallpaper app, then long press on it. An option will come up to back up. Do that and you will be able to restore it on Bonsai 4. If it is just a wallpaper it should be a jpg somewhere. Root explorer may help you find it. If you can see it in the Gallery then you can long press on it there and get the details of it, share it by sending it to yourself or other options.

Ok I did what you said, and dl android mate. However the file is not listed. Its not under applications. It is not listed under downloads, but it is set at my current wallpaper

Just back it up with titanium and when you update and run titanium later you can restore it. Titanium backs it up on the sd card.

Questions on restoring the phone after a data wipe/factory reset (Titanium Backup)

Hi.
Maybe I'm doing it wrong, but it's almost always recommended and required to do a data wipe after a ROM updates. Everybody seems like this process is normal and not a hassle.
I use AOKP (installed M6 today) on my Verizon Galaxy Nexus (toro).
I use Titanium Backup to restore my phone to the state where I left as right before the ROM update flash.
There are, however, some problems I've encountered and I was wondering if anyone could help me.
1. Using "restore app + data" only restores the app and the data cannot be recovered. I need to manually select "restore app data only" and it for the most of the time works fine. Am I doing something wrong?
2. I have about 80 apps and it asks me to confirm every time it tries to restore apps. I need to click "Install" and "Done" to restore one app. This process takes an hour. Are there any way to disable this confirmation prompt?
3. During the restore process, on the confirmation prompt for installing an app, if I press "cancel" instead of "install" Titanium Backup does not know what to do and does not move onto the next app to restore. The restore process basically gets stuck there. Does anybody know the cause of this?
Is restoring process supposed to be this much of a hassle? How do you guys do yours? Please let me know!
Thank you in advance!

It takes forever but that's how I do it. Of course I don't have 80 apps. But there should be an option to restore all missing apps and data.
But besides that, you have to click install and done for every app.

That's the option I use. It restores apps, but for some reason it NEVER restores data.

On mine it restores both. Then it says I should reboot and I do, and all my messages and stuff is back to before.
I kinda stopped using titanium ever since I sold my epic 4g lol. I only used it not to loose my progress on plants vs zombies.

I use Titanium back up to restore apps and a few system settings. To do as many as you are doing use *batch* mode.
open Titanium>select Backup/restore tab>select the check mark (top right hand corner, between the search icon and the menu button icon. The check button maybe greyed out but is operational)
you can now select "Backup all user apps" by selecting the run button next to it. This will open a list of all user apps, make sure all the apps you want to backup are selected. Obviously deselect the ones you don't want > to run the batch operation select the green check icon in the top right hand corner.
Once backup completes go back and select "Back up all system data" and do the same.
10mins at most.
There is an option to "Backup all user apps + system data" that will make it a bit quicker.

I'm pretty sure you have to use the purchased version of Titanium Backup to do a batch restore without doing them one at a time. When you select restore apps, there's also an check box to restore data too, but I don't know if that's only in the purchased version.

Batch process is supported in the free version. From what I can assume the problem is with Android.
Every time Titanium Backup tries to restore an app by installing it, the phone asks if I want to really install it. I know this feature is part of Android, but having 80 apps this is a very painful process.
I was wondering if I can turn that prompt of at my own risk.

Batch is supported in the free version. But, if you get the paid version, that will negate all of the "install" and "done" prompts. It will install automatically, as soon as you activate the batch operation. As for why it's not able to restore data, I'm not sure.
