New poster so I can't post in the dev section but I pulled this from the cyanogen forums re: restoring of apps in cm7 nightly 6+
"If the issues you refer to are segmentation faults when trying to use "adb install" then yes, I'm experiencing the same thing. This seems also to be tied to the inability to use Titanium Backup to restore apps (as it looks like it's using the same install method that ADB uses). There appears to be a problem with the package manager, as a logcat shows a crash in pm.jar.
So thats what's going on with titanium. I changed app processing mode to interactive and got it working. But now I have to restore the app then the data."
I am personally downloading nightly 8 and am trying this fix
What is it are you asking? Personally I'm having trouble restoring my backed up data to any other ROM other than CM7... cant figure it out... preventing me from flashing to an alternative ROM... cmon, who would want to beat Angry Birds all over again...
I had this problem, trying to reinstall apps with TB on cm7 nightly #6 and on. I was coming back from a sense rom but couldn't get them to install. So I just flashed rc1, restored my apps, then wiped cache, and dalvik cache and flashed #7. It worked.
Ti in CM7 Epic
I just posted this as a new thread... but I will repeat it here....
I saw your message in the CM7 thread for Epic.
I just updated my wifes' Epic and had the same problem. After playing around a bit I found that you must go into Ti setup and make the App Processing Mode into INTERACTIVE.
Menu>Preferences>Troubleshooting Settings>App processing mode.
It is WAY down toward the bottom of the menu so keep scrolling!
Once you are there, when you tell Ti to restore, it will actually prompt you for each install. Yeah, a royal PITA, but it WILL get all your apps back. It has something to do with the way CM7 handles formatting or something. Sorry I can't say for sure, but this works to get Ti onto CM7.
Once everything is setup the way you want, run Ti to do a backup in CM7 and all will be right with the world.
Good luck!
It looks like they have done some improvements on TiB. if you make the TB backup to your sd card and flash that, it seems to be better on the restore..

I am a newbie when it comes to posting. I always use xda with the search function only when I have problems, but I can't find a working solution that works for me in the forums. this is my first time ever posting.
I am running CM6 stable with snap7.5 kernel & gapps-hdpi-20100817 and my GPS used to work like a charm but now it hangs on finding gps for a while now and it doesn't take me to route. I noticed a lot of people running CM6 is having the same problem, but none of the fixes work for me. I have tried wipe cache dalvik twice, then re-flashing newest gapps, and tried numerous different kernels, including stock CM6 kernel.
Also, one of the biggest annoyances is the missing apps in the market. I paid for apps like Skydroid and so on, and after flashing official CM6 stable titanium back wont restore, even just the app by itself. I cleared data & cache from market and did all fixes online, but still no luck. I can't even find it on the market to re purchase it. Thats when I started to notice there are a lot of apps that doesn't show up in my market search. I can find the apps like Angry Birds in Appbrian, but when i try to install it from my phone and when it brings me to the market place to install, it wont find it. If anyone can help me with these problems that would help me out so much, and put an end to my searching.
Not sure why.. but if you do titanium backup or your apps it stores then on the SD card to reinstall. Never have to go through market again. If you have a band backup to where you had those apps install it and do a apps backup then go to the nand backup of cm6 and install them through titanium

Actually I have tried that already too, I went back to a nand that i had all these apps working and then went back to CM6 and titanium backup still said unsuccessful installation. first time its happened but it was unsuccessful with a lot of apps.
Not sure where this question goes, I figure here but...
Last week I planned on trying out a few ROMS, I've been using Titanium flawlessly but with 48+ apps I decided to buy a license to bypass all the prompts.
And this is where the problems started. I still have not tried without the license file installed, I know I should.
I create a backup, verify the backup, flash a ROM and 1) flash install Titanium or 2) install from the market, start restore and the phone crashes back to the bootanimation, verify the backup now and every backup will have errors.
I posted this on the official Titanium forum and got not response.
Update busybox
I've tried that both before backup and before restore.
when titanium restores it kills the process it is restoring. if you are restoring the whole system instead of just your user apps, what you are saying will occur.
I am not restoring any system files or even system settings.
Only user apps and data.
I removed the lic file. Next flash I'll try a backup/restore and see what happens.
Tha'ts the only difference.
email the dev. he is great at helping and is damn smart.

That was one of the issues. The license was sent from a noreply address and support is direct to a forum.
However I just checked my paypal and sent an email to the address I paypal'd the donation.
I deleted the lic file from the SDcard and even rebooted and Titanium still shows as registered.
I'll hope that's a good email address and wait for an email response.
Sounds like you are having a similar problem that I was having. Are you letting TB auto restore settings from your sd cards? I turned that off... Deleted the files from the sd card... And haven't seen that problem again. I used mostly default settings so id prefer to just have to remember to adjust the few settings I liked whether I did a reinstall. (also.. Now that I'm thinking about it.. I also adopted trying to flash tb and inse instead just install it from the market... ) give both a go.

Not sure what you mean by that. It the same settings I've been using.
Again the only difference being the license file.

Debugging has always been on since before using Titanium.
Now to make it really interesting.
I've been playing with ROMS the last few days, I'm cooking a ROM from the latest RUU so I'm done now.
I've backed up in Sense, with the lic. I restored in a clean install of Cyanogen.
I also made a backup in Cyanogen and restored to a clean install of Sense.
I had to install each program manually with prompts but no errors and everything worked. No missing SDCard of data not working. I left those problems out.
I have a clean backup made in a Sense ROM and will try to restore to my new Sense ROM.
I previously deleted the backups through Titanium and also deleted the folder on the SDCard.
I once formatted and restored my files to the card while all this was happening.
As of now the restore seems to be going well.
-edit: Restore is finished and everything is working. Not sure what went on unless Titanium just doesn’t like the Snap Kernel.
I had this same TB problem after getting the license file. In trying to figure out the issue, I discovered that I had somehow managed to lose full root (i.e. NAND re-locked, s-on), my radio reverted to like 1.39.x (and reflashing the latest would not stick), and my HBOOT version had changed to .79 (or whatever the original shipped version was -- as opposed to the .76 version from Toast's root part 2).
I seriously doubt that the TB license caused all of those problems (though I can't for the life of me figure out how on earth that happened), but for others experiencing similar problems, double check that you have full root.
Is it hanging on the restore? Go to prefererences and change the restore type to "indirect."
There is an update on market for tb that says it addresses some license problems.
I did not lose root, All root apps still worked and I was able to flash all ROMS, themes, etc.
Although I do belive the ROMS I was restoring to were 3.29 OTA based. My current is 3.29 RUU based.
Nothing was hanging for me, just a crash, not an app FC, and all backups then being corrupt.
It's worked great when I flashed my current ROM. I even went back and forth a couple times playing with Cyanogen.
I don't know what happened.
did you get a response back from email
Same thing happened to me. went from a rooted Stock with s-off to Myn TwoPointTwo and formatted new SD card with A2SD (SD-ext) partition and backups verify as all corrupted. Tried Traditional restore and some could not be parsed. Also the Data for some completely corrupt.
What is odd is that some older backups were fine but newer ones where not. Even tried re-copying from a backups from PC and Dropbox.
Finishing re-install then going to wipe backups and try again. Its a real pain to manual reinstall and setup.
Ok so I flashed CM 6.1 and none of my apps came back down. I tried unchecking and re-checking the app-sync check button in settings and nothing came down. So I wiped, and loaded the stock ROM - and it doesn't sync them down either. Did checking the box that says "Back your data up" after setting up CM 6.1 do this? Also, I can't restore my nandroid backup from Clockwork Recovery. It brings me back to the setup app every time.
Looks like you might have a faulty back-up if you can't use it. I suggest removing that one and making a new one. Also, this is where you make the mental note of using Titanium Backup to back-up your apps, should this exact issue of your apps not showing up come back.
So see if you can do another nandroid backup that'll work, go through the pain-staking process of getting all your apps again, then fetch Titanium Backup and back them all up. I haven't had the issue of my apps not being installed after CM 6.1 was applied. I was actually surprised that they were being re-installed for me!
i flashed to CM 6.1 and not even a quarter of my apps appeared in the market.
anybody else have this prob and is there a fix?

I did all that beforehand, and it didn't restore anything (Titanium) my Nandroid backup from CW Recovery was probably bad. I tried to restore an older one after flashing back - and the md5 sum was invalid.
I have noticed that when I used to flash the 2.2 CM roms on my G1, it would only restore apps when you flashed another CM Rom. As though it starts collecting data after initial installation. There is a small checkbox that says "Backup data with Google" I think when this is checked it looks at your CURRENT apps which would be default because you just flashed.
I got everything back, it's all good. But it was just a small pain in my ass lol.

What did you do to get your apps back? I am running into the same problem...
I just had to re-download em they sync now, cause I'm on CM 6.1 from CM whatever it was. I had this problem on my G1. Now I just do a titanium backup and be done with it.

Redownload!!?!!! awwwww man, thanks for the help though. I too had this problem with the G1.
Aye yeah, I just went to Androlib.com and got the QR codes so I could do it fast. Once I got them loaded, they sync'd when I flashed the next CM.

Aye, its my favorite. After the first one went down for whatever reason, AndroLib has been my savior in some cases. That and I'm lazy. Just pull up Barcode Scanner and scan away. I'm using titanium backup now to backup all my stuff...
when say going from stock 2.2 to cm 6.1.1? What id like is to say, take a list of my currently installed apps on the froyo, or from a backup, and make a list of them to be installed, with the accounts and what not set up. or, mount a backup so i can look at the apps i have installed and their passwords.

You can use titanium to install apps from other android versions? Because with the backup that comes with cwm, i tried restoring just the data after going to cm 6.1.1 and i got a weird little half brick device until i manually booted into recovery and reinstalled the rooted stock back up i made. now i wanna go back to cm 6.1.1 but i dont feel like writing a bunch of stuff down.

Works for me when I say restore back a 6.1.1 after running some 2.3. Usually I'm restoring (apps + data) stuff like setCPU_donate and other 3rd party apps and settings. Couldn't hurt but I'll tell you, messing with restoring anything other than a full rom backup in CWM makes me a bit nervous. Luckily there are alot of things to do what you're asking.
Yeah it made me nervous too after i did it. I didnt figure that user data itself would cause a perma brick though. But i was almost completely sure it wouldnt work at the time. And now i am completely sure. Yeah i downloaded titanium back up, and i backed up the apps i wanted to save the account info for, so we'll see what happens after cm gets done doin its thing.
Yes, Titanium Backup will backup not only the app, but also the user data as well - which is *way* handy.
It'll also backup system apps, so you do need to kinda watch what you're restoring (the free version of Titanium Backup makes you manually confirm every single app you restore, so it's a bit harder to screw up). It's a pretty sweet app, highly recommended.
Installing/restoring between versions is no problem.
yeah, it is pretty handy. Except when it came to swype.
Quick Q for Titanium. When I do a batch operation, it still asks me if I want to install the apk and then another if i want to open it or hit done. Is there a way to bypass those screens?

Only if you buy the Pro version or whatever. It's not too expensive. I actually kinda like those screens, as it gives me a double-check so I don't install something I didn't want to.
Hey guys. I just wiped and upgraded from CM10 8/14 build to the 8/31 build. I always hate the arduous process of reinstalling apps (for some reason, the automatic restore of all apps from the Play Store has only happened once, I can never get it to happen consistently)
Anywho, I wiped, flashed the new build and gapps, and then rebooted and signed in. It decided not to auto-restore, so I decided to try and boot into Clockwork and do an Advanced Restore of only /data. Rebooted and I have all my settings and apps back perfectly fine. Is there a downside to doing this? It seems to have worked without an issue but I don't think I've seen people saying they do this regularly.
Also, does anyone know how to get the built in auto restore to work reliably? I have all the settings checked.
Thanks in advance.
I have done it numerous times that way, but as you go along, you will find that is not that reliable, use titatium or mybackup. Those always have better results. Either way is fine.

Titanium Backup is your friend! Its way more easier and you can transfer that folder from iPhone to phone. It makes life easier for us flashaholics.
