Titanium Backup help needed

just wondering if anybody could just give me a little guide or help with how to use titanium back up. im wanting to back up favorites. gba emulators saves, scenes, saved accounts like facebook accounts and pandora. also the backing up up apps has be a little confused. thank you in advance.

To save regular apps? Like ones from the market?
If so, just click the app and press backup? Don't see how that could be confusing.
If that's not working, at the bottom press "Problems?" and install Busybox

I'm also looking for help w/ titanium backup. For some reason, when I try uninstalling stock apps like peep/sprint zone, it doesnt do anything... The app is still in the list of programs. I dont get why.
I have root access...

I was in the same boat when I first got it. Much better now.
Here are a few tips:
1) use the filters. It's much easier to see User apps only. Choose "Click to edit filters" and then select the User radio button and Apply. This will show you all of the apps you've installed from the market. Then go to Menu > Batch > Backup All User Apps Run button, then choose the apps you want to backup from the list.
2) Do the same as #1 but filter for System apps. After choosing Batch, choose Backup All System Data Run button. The only real system apps I backup are:
-[ACCOUNTS] - but you don't really have to do this because if you flash a new ROM or something, you can just sign back in to your accounts at the beginning
-[USER DICT] - user defined saved words in dictionary I'm assuming
-[DESKTOP] HTC Sense - this will save where your icons are on the screens if you're using the Sense UI
-[BOOKMARKS] - this one is obvious
-[SMS/MMS PREFS] Messages - I think this saves your messages that are currently on your phone
-WiFi Access Points - all the Wireless networks and settings you've previously saved
Obviously you can backup whatever you want, these just seem to work for me.
3) Note that you can combine 1 and 2 by filtering All and All on the filtering screen, then Batch button, then Backup All User Apps + System Data run button. I just use it this way because it makes it a bit easier to filter out your user apps from all of the system stuff.
If anyone else has any tips or see that I'm using this in a whacked out manner, please let me know!

im having trouble getting it to work, its force closing when asking for super user permission, i know im rooted im using a cooked rom. I clicked the problems button also to install busybox which im pretty sure i already have and its downloading to 99% but wont go any further.

I had that problem upon first installing it. Don't know how I fixed it...reboot maybe? Sorry I'm not more help, but you're not alone with that one.

To backup: Menu -> Batch -> Backup all user apps.

what about setting up scheduling .. how do you set it up so it just updates the back up every day ..

is there a way when your reinstalling all your apps you dont have to click "install" and "done" for every app?...its a bit annoying when you got a ton of apps ..

You won't have to click anything if you donate. Once you start it, it installs everything you want.

I'm reinstalling my apps from Titanium Backup. I'm a really going to have to manually hit "Install" for each of the 214 apps that are being restored?

Oohh... ok , to be clear ..if I donate then it will auto install all my apps with out me having to hit "ok" for each app...that's well worth $4 !

I'm confused about how to work this too. My understanding is that BATCH MODE is supposed to do something...yet I don't see it doing anything.
I press one of the many run buttons, and it just takes me back to the Backup/Restore tab after. There's no indication that the program is doing anything to back anything up...for me at least.
And I'm sure there has to be a better way to do it than backup every single individual thing one-by-one. And also...why don't apps restore when I, say... Flash a new ROM (with the Clockwork/Rom Manager file still on SD), and reinstall ROM Manager?
I'm just not getting this for some odd reason, and I'm a very quick learner with everything else Android.
NOTE: I have the donate version btw.

It's more like BATCH>RUN>RUN...
Select Menu/Batch, select "Run" next to the batch operation you would like to do, then select Run again at the top of the next screen. It should be very obvious that it starts doing backups or whatever you selected.

Ok that worked. You know what it may have been? I was accessing the Batch menu from the Backup/Restore tab and I wasn't getting these options. Because I just did what you told me from the opening screen, and it worked. I'm all happy now.
Thank you

[SOLVED] Can't clear Notifications list

I seem to be having a problem with clearing my Status Bar>Notifications.
I know the Clear button is right there in the top-right corner of the the list. I hit it, the list appears to be blank. But when I go to Market, or if I download any files, the whole list comes back and all the old items are still on there.
Why won't that old stuff actually Clear?
Is this list "saved" somewhere, like in a file?
UPDATE: Solution is to Clear Data for the Download Manager app.

(Desktop) Menu>Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>(Tab) All>
(scroll down and choose Download Manager)
Click [Clear data]​

Reboot?????

You need a reboot. Happened with me too, particularly when you install lots of apps.

Reboot doesn't work
Thanks for the suggestion, but I actually already tried that. It did not help.
Any other ideas? I'm not an Android Ninja, but I could manage something a little more technical than Reboot. Happy to provide any other debugging info that would be useful

are you rooted?
if so, go into recovery and wipe dalvik cache and reboot.

I am rooted, and I have already tried wiping the Dalvik Cache (through CWM).
That also didn't work.

you tried to remove the battery for a few seconds?
edit: clear the download manager app data

SOLVED
It's been a while, but...
I just checked in on this thread again to see if anyone had come up with a solution to my continually nagging problem.

That does in fact seem to have worked, thanks! I don't know the exact "cause" of this problem, but at least here is a perfectly good work-around.
Perhaps this will helps someone else. If I ever figure out anything more about WHY, I'll post it here and be sure to post it here, as well as passing it along to the appropriate Devs (Cyanogen, or whomever).
As a bit of additional diagnostic info, when I Install or Update Apps from the Market, I can download them just fine, and they install fine too, but the Market app status gets stuck on "Installing..." with a gray scrolling bar. The Notifications indicate that the process is complete. Not sure if this is in any way related.

Really annoyed

Phone has been working flawlessly the past couple days after I got my media messages working
Today I dragged some music onto my phone (not the SD card) and all my downloaded apps dissappeard. what the f??
Where did they go and WHY did they go? Really annoyed right now
Running the kingdom rewind rom btw

1) Try removing the songs you transfered. You might have it in a directory that they're not suppose to be in and it's messing up the apps.
2) Longshot, but maybe you deleted some app data by accident while transferring?
There's probably something else that you don't know about that is causing this, honestly I'm not sure but just suggesting the above.

already deleted the songs. all my apps were gone before i did this.
one thing i thought of just now. I did use the "low storage" app that came with rewind and didnt try any of my apps after that. moved em all to sd card and cleared cache. i think thats what did it

Try a complete reboot and see if they're there. I hit this occasionally when I connect my Incredible to the PC. When I disconnect, suddenly a handful of apps are gone. Fast reboot doesn't restore them, but complete power off and restart, or full reboot does.

About Notification bar: is this a bug?

Hi guys, since I downloaded several wallpapers via chrome yesterday, I noticed that no matter how many times I cleared the "download complete" notifications, they would still appear again. Even just after I rebooted the device; and moreover, I also cleared the data of "download" and "chrome", they still appears anyhow!
Anyone has any idea what the problem is? Thanks in advanced.

I may just find the solution: I should clear the data of "download manager", not the "download". It seems ok now.

or you could just clear notifications and it will clear that

I had this same problem twice, but thought it was bug of ROM and installed another one :silly:

i had the same problem on 4.2. force stop and clear data of download manager in all apps did the job until i dloaded more files. turns out it was because i frooze download manager from starting up in system tuner app. i allowed it to start and problem was fixed.
however, touching the dloaded file from the notification bar does nothing. going into the download app and selecting the file leads me to ":/downloads/all_downloads does not exist" error. you actually have to go into root explorer or your file manager to open the file.
i do not like 4.2, at all. it's buggy as hell. i about to restore my 4.1.2 rom.

Continuously getting "choose an action"

Had the phone maybe a week and whenever I'm surfing the Web (regular Internet not on chrome or anything) I'm constantly getting the pop-up for "choose an action" and the phone then plays a "default.wav" file if I select the music player or downloads it if I select downloads.
I've searched the forums on here as well as googled it and can't find anyone having this issue.
Anyone have an idea?

screen shot please

The system first prompts me to "choose an action" with the options of Android system or downloads. Obviously if I choose downloads the system will just download the .wav file. If I choose android system I then get prompted to choose an action again with the options of Google play music or sound player. Either of the two will simply play the .wav file. Once I choose one of the two I continually get prompted to again choose an action only this time it's a choice between the sound player (or Google play music if I chose that one) and downloads.

thats normal. just regular old tw. hit always and you wont see it ask you again until you add a new app that can also open the file.

Well the problem is I've already hit always... I've also cleared the defaults a few times and gone through the process of doing it again and as I usually do selecting always. But then it still continues to prompt me to choose an action between music player or downloads. This started happening from the get go as soon as I got the phone and before installing any apps.

i think it just does this. also if you hit always then go and clear defaults that gets rid of what you just did

I only tried clearing the defaults after it continually kept asking me to choose an action. Thought that might stop the system from constantly asking me to choose an action. But that didn't work.

I called Samsung who had me do a hard reset of the phone. Before installing anything onto the phone I was still getting the continuous pop up asking me to choose an action even after selecting the "always" option when given the choice between "always" and just once.
So I took the phone back to Verizon and they gave me a new one. Before installaing anything onto the phone I started getting the same thing all over again. Theres nothing installed on the phone but what comes with the phone from Verizon. No one else is having this issue?
The only thing I can think of is that my SD card has been used in 2 other phones prior to this. Perhaps there is something on the SD causing an issue, in which case I should simply remove everything from the SD card I want to keep (music and pictures/videos) and put it onto a PC. Then format the SD card and then hard reboot the phone.

I've actually had this exact same issue with both my Verizon Note 3, and now again on my Verizon Note 4.
No matter how many times I select "always", it always still asks me.
Any solution to this?

Has anyone with this issue done a factory reset?

Ive done a couple factory resets. Samsung also had me do a "hard reset" which did not solve the problem. The only thing I can think of is that my SD card has something on it which is causing it. I have returned my original Note 4 to Verizon and the 2nd Note 4 is also doing the same thing. So the common denominator is my SD card.
As a point of clarification, the phone continually asks me to choose an action and wants to either play or download a file titled "default.wav".

Try to backup all your files to PC / Mac whatever you use. Format then Micro-SD and copy all your stuff again to note4

That is precisely what I did this morning. Copied everything over to a pc and then formatted the SD card with the phone and then did a factory reset. Before adding any files back to the SD card immediately started having the same problem again. And no apps or anything were installed on the phone yet.

To rule out the SD Card....does it do it with no SD Card installed?
