It means they are not currently installed.

That means the app has been uninstalled

means its deleted

Damn,how the hell do i get them back?...I'm not trying to play angry birds all over again!

Depends on whether you deleted system apps (flash rom or replace with root explorer) or user apps (dl from market). Let this be a simple lesson in making backups. You could have lost a year of photo's...

Why would deleting system apps affect whether Titanium Backup can backup user apps & settings?
For the record, I had the same problem as the OP, TB shows the line thru everything. But I believe it's b/c I didn't update busybox..? Why on earth would the program say it backed up the apps fine, only to give an error message (parsing error) after the fact when trying to restore? Seems like a huge flaw to me. It should not report a successful backup when it in fact backed up nothing.
You scared the bejesus out of me about losing photos. Those are intact (as they should be, along with everything else on the SD). How would it even be possible to lose those by simply wiping the phone?

I always copy my files off the sd at least once a week. I have another prog called Folder Clone that back ups all my data onto another hard drive. Same prg also backs up to a DVD once a week. I still have data files going back to my Apple II days. Always have a comprehensive program to keep your data safe. /rant
TB makes only data backups of system apps.

I have everything except 18 apps with the lines thru them,I'd like to get them back...and I have TB scheduled to backup at 3:00 a.m every sunday morning

So my game saves would have been lost even if TB worked? If so, what app backs those up?

Come on folks,help me help ya'll get your thank meters up lol

In tb look at the legend. What icon is next to your backup?
Also you may need to dl a busy box where it says "problems."
Do you have pro or donate version?

I have happy face icons for most games. Only my two Angry Birds have "M" icons.
edit - I never saw a "problem" label that would have forewarned about the busybox issue negating all backups..

No backups under cwm 3, not running cwm period. Likely rooted before cwm became part of the basic root package here.
Just running 2.1 stock, rooted, and TB.

Is extracting the backups (TARs) directly on my PC a possible rescue? (or are they corrupted TARs due to an earlier version of busybox?)

They're readable in WinRAR! Looks like I have a saving grace! Wonder why TB doesn't like them, even though it made them?
Oddly enough, when I first made the backups, TB was on default compression (gzip) and I noticed all the gzip files it was creating were 0 bytes. Luckily I changed it to BZIP2. When I saw that the backups now had file sizes, I assumed all was well..
On a separate note, is it still the case that TB doesn't backup SMS? I see conflicting reports on google searches. I already backed them up a different way, but was hoping TB would take care of that too, it didn't.
The one and only thing TB backed up and restored fine were my browser bookmarks (which is yet another pickle, why did that go fine, but game saves were corrupted/parsing error?)

TB also seems to like the "usb debugging" box to be checked under the main phone's settings->applications->development menu. Though when I don't have that checked it usually just hangs on an indefinite loop when restoring rather than giving the error you see.

Full Wipe, What Do You Loose?

looking to try a new ROM (curently using revolution 2.0.12), most/all gingerbread ROM require a full wipe but what do i loose doing that?
Is the SDcard left untouched?

Practically everything (contacts, apps, sms, email, settings, calls etc.)
that has to do with the Rom. Also if you use app2sd your ext partition will be wiped. You won't lose anything that is on the fat32 partition (such as files, pictures, mp3s etc)

I think these threads answers your question:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=868720
If you use that tool all you have left after wiping is what is on your sdcard so you need to have the ROM zip on you sdcard and install it immediately after wiping with no reboot in between. You can't reboot in between as you will have just wiped all the files needed to be able to boot.

Although a full wipe is going to clear you out, don't forget if you are signed into google and allowing it to back up your data, all your contacts and apps will be restored to your new rom after signing into your google account.

What about Mobile Network Settings?

Full Wipe deletes user data, system and cache.

1. So the Mobile Network Settings are untouched and we don't have to enter them after a new rom?
2. Only after a new radio?
Cheers for the info. Getting the APN right is the only thing stopping me from rooting and flashing so far..

you will lose your apn settings, but you can bach them up with titanium backup. Also in most roms apns are included

ok, so if i have my contacts on an old sim & i use an old sd card with nothing on it except the new ROM, i flash it & put my current sim and sd card in what would happen? would it be ok?

You will certainly lose all of your data and settings, as for any apps on the ext partition of your sd card(if you have) i dont know. Anyway, to take it from the start im assuming that you are rooted since you run a custom rom. Read the whole post before doing anything
1.download rom manager from the market and take a nandroid backup of your system with your current sd and sim
2.download titanium backup and go to batch backup all apps and system data
3.flash the new rom
4.download titanium backup and go to batch restore missing apps
With the above procedure you transfer your apps from the old rom to the new rom, while you keep a backup of your whole system in case something goes wrong so you can reverse it. Now for the data
1. Download mybackup pro and take a data backup in your sd
2.download again in the new rom and restore everything
If you follow the above you should have in your new rom all your apps, all your data and all your settings

So if Titanium Backup can save the APN and APN login passwords etc. and I can back that up and flash a new rom, how do I restore those APN settings? Which app do I use? ie. I can't download it from the Market again without the APN settings and password to gain Network access? Can we backup the titanium app too before flashing a new rom?
(I flashed Windows Mobile loads of times but the first time cost me 1000 dollars (equivalent in Japan) because I got the Access Point details wrong and was charged the wrong data plan. This is the only reason I'm being extra careful some 2 years later.. cos I'm skint.)
Cheers.

You mean that you don't have access to a wireless connection/router/hotspot ?

That I can't understand, how can you pay more with wrong apn? I have only two apn, and the new one are only allowing faster internet. and the data plans are configured by operator and can't be changed by changing apn!

Cyanogen mod 7 gb internal memory help

Ive installed this rom coming from mildwild rom with cm7r2 hboot and ive installed apps and it is full and i had to install s2e but still dont work so is got to do something with the script?
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda app-developers app

Which version of CM7 did you install, did it come with a A2SD script already?
Install 'DiskUsage' if you haven't already (recommended this to you when you started rooting months ago). Have a look at your /data partition which should be 287MB large with cm7r2 hboot, and see what is filling it up.
As with any internal memory issues, understand how it is being used first before attempting to solve it...

Oh ive solved it, i had to tick the applications and applications data in s2e, i downloaded it from their website.

Lol well yeh...you do actually have to configure it to tell it what to move...
It's best to move only applications and dalvik cache to sd-ext though
Application data is best left your /data partition, generally more stable, not to mention should be faster

Strange, I've never used s2e but the principle is the same as any other really.
Normally the procedure is;
- flash rom
- setup a2sd
- restore apps
That way the apps etc get restored to where you want them first time, rather than moving them later.
Try first going to recovery, wiping dalvik cache then rebooting, hopefully it will restore to the sd-ext like you want.
If that doesn't work then assume your already have a titanium backup of all your apps?
- nandroid backup
- full wipe and flash rom again
- setup s2e, move apps and dalvik, reboot
- restore apps
- check with diskusage to confirm everything is moved to where you want it

i did this: went into the filemanager and installed s2e and needed root permissions so i did the same and installed it, then went in and ticked in s2e mount as ext4 and restarted and some apps are recovered, so now i have to tick application and dalvik like you said, i wanted to use a2sd script but i dont know where to get it from, im using cyanogenmod-7.2.0.1-bravo.
edit: i ticked em still the same only some apps are recovered.

Now try part 2...

Not sure what you have tried, did you try to full wipe and flash ROM again?....(it's easier if you type in full sentences and use punctuation sometimes )
- You don't have to use Titanium Backup, just assumed you want to transfer your apps between ROMs? Do you not want to save your apps and data / preferences when switching? There are various apps which will do this, but Titanium is one of the most tried and trusted methods.
- Is the google verification a Play Store error? Normally a clear of the play store app data / cache resets it.
- You can use any compatible A2SD script. It's just better to set up A2SD before you install / restore any apps. Alternatives are int2ext, mount2sd, or darktremor A2SD. But they do roughly the same thing. In simple terms, only use one method at a time, you want to move apps and dalvik to sd-ext. I'm pretty sure S2E would have worked fine if you did as instructed...never mind.

Yh I flashed again and then had google error verification, I thought i'd go back to mildwild 5 cos its better for me, the titanium backup I didn't have a backup of apps so that's why... thanks anyway

[Q] Cloning the /data partition between devices

Hi there!
What I'm trying to do is to "pre-configure" 70 devices (you read that right, 70) to have identical software/wallpaper/security settings/etc.
All devices are identical GT-N5100 with 4.1.2 (JZO54K.N5100XXBMD1) Android version.
The thing is, we absolutely _should_ keep the warranty and OTAs, therefore flipping the "System state" flag is definitely not what I want here.
I already tried backing up the device with adb backup, but this kind of backup doesn't contain all applications (specifically, those with android:allowBackup=false are not exported) and most of the settings (disabled apps' list or security settings)
So I came to a point that I _need_ to replace the whole /data partition. Which, obviously, requires custom recovery.
The main concern is, how to avoid triggering that "System state"?
Let's say I'll flash an alternate recovery image, backup/restore the system, then restore the original recovery, without booting into Android. Would that work, or since we change the flash counter, it will also cause the flag to change to "Modified"?
If it changes, could TriangleAway restore it back? Mind that I won't be able to wipe /data at this point, it defeats the purpose.
Again, I don't need root access on these tablets at all, I only need to have identical /data partition between them.
Any ideas?
Did anyone check that "recovery trick" I described?
Thanks in advance.

Gosh your spinning your wheels on something so simple.
Install saferoot.zip on all 70 devices
On the completed master clone device
create a admin google account for system apps
add the admin google account and make sure play store has the admin account selected.
pay for Ti Backup Pro and install
set google account back to original google account if available.
setup Ti Backup to save on SD, etc... note: Ti Backup has a lot of options in pro, you will have to make sure things are set to your needs.
For example, remove Google store from apps, so you have control over updates.
Remove admin google account
Do a full backup on SD
Remove Ti Backup Pro from backed up apps
Copy SD to spare 2GB (minimum) SD chip(s)
Insert SD chip in each device to be slave cloned
If each device has already gone through initial setup, do a factory reset.
When google account is needed use the admin account for syncing the Ti backup Pro
Start Ti Backup Pro and do not change system ID by ignoring.
Set Ti Backup pro to use the SD card and do a restore missing apps + system data.
When prompted after starting... select XML.
Be sure to deselect the check box for ignore system...
Reboot and make sure everything looks good, if not you may need to restore again using Snapshot.
remove Ti Backup, and uninstall root within SuperSu as a wipe for reinstall.
Reboot again and you are done.
All wallpaper, Icons and folders, along with app settings will all be the same.
This is a 90% accurate way to do it, as I have no idea what apps you are using, custom or paid. You will need to fine tune what options you may need to add in the procedures given.

I would do exactly this, but I need to keep devices "stock" for warranty purposes — I won't see any of them after sending them to customer. Hence, having root = "System state: modified" = no warranty. Yea I can unroot afterwards, but it might also fail and keep the "System modified" flag in place. Risky.
Thanks anyway, let's see how it goes.

I don't have any system state modified on my tablet. Saferoot does not flash. And will allow OTA and Kies to update without issues. You should at least look up the thread for saferoot and see its function. It installs the root not flashes it. The flash counter is what you are worried about. Though triangle away will reset the counter, and once cleared can be removed, if flashing a root. What keeps the counter coming back is the use of flashed custom ROMs.
I use to follow the popular threads on flashing and found that saferoot is exactly what it says, and I will not do any other rooting without it. That is how good it is.

Changed phones APN settings, can't text/call

So I was in the country out of service trying to connect to a network. Under mobile network settings I saw APN settings which I never saw before and decided to mess with (yes I know, awful idea). So now that I'm back in a service area, I have a data connection but can't text or call. And of course, APN settings is gone from my mobile network settings and shows varoous CDMA settings like before, my ROM is Dirty Unicorns 4.4.4.
If anyone has any info on how I can fox my apn settings so I can text and call again that'd be great! Thanks!

This app is basically a shortcut to apn settings. You can change any settings you need, and even a reset to default that might help you.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=it.appando.app.changeApn
The weird thing is, APn settings should only be for data, calls and texts should still work. You can also reflash the ROM zip and wipe dalvik cache and cache from recovery, that would reset your system partition but keep all the data settings and personalized stuff.

Well the app I linked will allow to change or add apn's if that's what you want.
However, do you have an EFS backup? Try restoring that. Also, check system network settings and make sure it is set to CDMA and not NV or GSM.
If you get on stock, try doing a profile/prl update.

Unfortunately it looks like EFS backups have been erased after the multiple factory resets and wipes I've done. I called Sprint and they couldn't fix the issue and told me to take the phone to a store. At one point when I tried to update profile it said I must be in the USA, which I am. But that was fixed by some updates on their end and I can update profile/prl. However, now it'll say 4G with no bars and when I make a call, service goes out. Something strange that appeared temporarily but is now gone was a message saying the SIM card is invalid.
I also decided to look into phone identity and noticed that the my phone number section says unknown along with the MIN.

Yup, your IMEI, MEID, MIN were wiped. Do you have an old backup you can restore? It should also have the EFS within the backup so it would restore the IMEI, MEID, MIN.
If none of that works, try following this thread, it may have something you can benefit from.

I have a file with freegee, TWRP, and EFS_BACKUPS folders. I would post the folder but not sure if this is a privacy issue?
Anyways, any help in restoring this would be much appreciated!

Is it just an EFS backup? Did you use the "create flashable EFS.zip"? Or is it only the backup in freegee? You can post screenshots, I wouldn't recommend posting the IMEI or any of that but if it is just a screenshot of the backup then you're ok because everyone has the same name of the backup. I think it is m9kefs1, m9kefs2, m9kefs3. If you are looking at those files, you need to push them using ADB. I think the directions are in that thread I linked. If you created a flashable zip (also directions in that thread) all you need to do is flash the zip it created like any other zip you'd flash in recovery. (TWRP in your case) Just boot into recovery and select install, then from zip. And choose your zip.

Here is a picture of the EFS backup folder I have:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So does this mean I must use adb? It wouldn't work to compress a folder with the files correct?

I would store those somewhere safe period.
But you can also
1) Go to that thread I linked,
2) Download the flashable zip,
3) run it in recovery so it creates the restore zip.
4) go on your PC and replace the 3 files in the backup (that look like yours) with those files
5) Go back to recovery and run the restore zip.
That might do the trick without ADB. If that is too much for you, I can or autoprime can (the OP of that thread) create the file for you, you would have to send us those files. And I have no need for them, but in the wrong hands, they might be able to be used to put your IMEI and MIN on another phone. I am not sure it works that way but if you are not comfortable with that you can get on hangouts and send me a message and I will walk you through it if you send me screen shots during the process. (You would have to email those files, do not post them here)

Thanks for all the help! I might have to contact you in hangout, I flashed the zip but not seeing a zip folder made in the EFS_backup

I don't remember if it is created if you don't have an efs.

Sorry for a very late reply but the problem has been resolved!
I was able to place my EFS backups in the zip created by dopy25, flash it in recovery, and then was able to gain network access by updating PRL and profile!
