I got a new G2 under warranty, and before I sent in my old one, I used Titanium back up to back up all apps and everything. I copied everything on my sd card and when I load Titanium back up, it has the apps listed but it says 0B for App and Data, so it doesn't restore anything besides the app itself, no data for save games or scores...

Stupid question time. Were you rooted?
Yea, titanium backup won't work at all unless you are rooted.

Oh, it might back the apps up but not the data.
The whole point of it is to backup apps and data. I have used it before without issue

Here's my situation: experimented with removing some system apps today (mostly bloatware) on my rooted stock ec05 Epic and I decided to try getting rid of "System Updates 1.0.0". Then, I remembered I sometimes use the update prl function to reconnect my 3g if JuiceDefender doesn't kick it back on automatically after I wake the screen up, so I popped back into Titanium Backup to restore the app. It's been in the process of restoring it for the past 30 min and I'm not optomistic anymore. My question is this: is there a way to get this system app back short of ODINing back to complete stock? I lurk a lot on the Epic boards but I haven't experimented a lot with my Epic itself, so I'm ignorant when it comes to these tricks. Thanks for any help I receive.
Cheers

Try reflashing the rom and you cant backup sys apps with titanium
I reccomend you use sdx stock app remover it pretty easy and backups too and it doesnt take forever like titanium

Damn. I was afraid of that. It's funny because TB restores most of Tue other apps just fine, just not System Update and the drm files.
How about this: I located the apks for these three in my TB folder and extracted them to the sex backup folder. I'm trying to restore them via sex tool now, but I always get an error saying I'm out of space, and SD maid doesn't turn up anything I can delete to make room. If I could make room, would that method work, and if so, how should I make room?

Use SDX to backup and delete the Asphalt demo and you will have room.
I'd already deleted asphault before this, so I'm sol there.
In fact, I tried something else this morning andachived a stellar bootloop, so I Odin's and am going to use sdx. Thanks for all the help!

Get rid of the double-ended dildo. That'll free up a fair amount of space.

The latest paid version of Titanium Backup allows the deletion and restoration of system apps. You should see a red Happy face, IIRC.

before i take the red pill and flash the wicked rom, what is the best method to save personal data phone #,contacts, calendar appointments, email passwords, alarms, etc.?
the wicked rom says not to backup system apps, does that include app data?
thanks
Titanium Backup. You can restore app settings, say alarm clock settings, Temple Run accomplishments, etc.
I just export my contacts to my sd card and import back on a new rom. You can also link your contacts to a Google account.
I run Wicked, never had any issues at all.

Don't forget to make a backup through recovery just incase something goes wrong. You'll have something to fall back on.

well all would have been well, but apparently titanium did not know that i was using an s3 and must have saved back up to internal.
all i could find was my old backups from my old phone.

Search your internal storage, it shouldn't of been deleted. Go through a file manager and if you can find it, go to titanium >preferences >and restore location.

yeah, you have to change backup location in titanium settings. In the S3, it uses your internal memory as an internal sdcard. That is where it saves all your personal junk by default. When you wipe though, it is possible to wipe without wiping that data, a factory reset should be enough. If you change in settings though, you would need to configure it to use your external sd card.
I finally unlocked my phone and was curious if some or all these sprint apps are OK to remove? I already removed sprint id and sprint zone with titanium and wasn't sure about these pictured.
Thanks.

Make a backup in TWRP first in case you remove the wrong apps

I assume if I was to remove the connection optimizer I pictured, then I also need to remove WiFi offload as well? I do have a backup made already. Did that right after backing up the efs 3 different ways (with twrp, freegee, and autoprime's flashable efs backup tool). Plus I do backups of apps in titanium before removing them. I learned that lesson the hard way with my evo.

Very smart to back up multiple ways.
I'm not a fan of Titanium, but if i remember it right, WiFi offload is what titanium will delete.
I think the safest way is to freeze apps first. If nothing bad happens then delete.
I just go to /system/app and start deleting apps. Its usually pretty obvious what is bloat and not. And if you delete the wrong app, you can restore from TWRP.

Didn't know I could restore apps via twrp. I thought I could only backup and restore the phone itself incase I need to flash back to stock. Is there an option to backup/restore certain apps or do you get options when restoring? I haven't played with twrp much yet.

It doesn't restore apps. Just the backups you make. 5 min from screwed up phone, to fixed.

Just wondering if i create a backup of my apps (whats app, games etc) and then restore them after installing any custom rom, do i need to re-register them?
Like for whats app, do i need to register it again? Asking this question because i used a number which was 'accidentally' transferred to someone else by vodafone and yet my what's app works fine right now.

Sent from my LG-E988 using xda app-developers app
You cant restore apps from a unrooted phone. You need root. You can it do with titanium backup.
Sent from my LG-E986 using xda app-developers app
For non-rooted apk backup.
"Appmonster" is the one i am using now. It only will backup your added stuff easily. Different programs have different mechanisms for licencing, so there are some that certannly will have to re-connect with the store or something before they will be the paid version. Others that it is a part added securely, and one (piece of crap) wanted to licence verify every day. Appmonster does not backup extra external data stuff, So i do that manually, and again it might still have to connect to finish. or check licence.
there are 2 others that do the simple backup installed apps to apk packages, both worked (unrooted) for what you can do unrooted, i just happen to be using appmonster because it was simple, and aimable to a folder. Some paid programs are not able to be backed up with it, some secured stuff .
Try Helium too. Need to hook up to a PC for it to work though. Works with uprooted.

I want to start fresh after the kk update. I have a profile for me and my son. I looked into helium but it has iffy results judging by feedback I read. Are there any other options? I would like to avoid root for now but since I bought square trade warranty I suppose it's not a huge deal.
I back all my stuff using KIES. Backs up my apps, snotes, system settings, etc.

helium is working fine for me but you have to connect your device to a PC and runa script to be able to save or restore anything.
price for non rooted devices and probably the reason for low feadback.
I also use it to transfer apps from my phone to tablet.
Any one tried mybackup from the playstore?
Been thinking of testing it out, but never find the time....

I've had varying success with Helium. When I do a system reset and try to restore from Helium about 80% of the apps will restore with data and the rest just fails. There's no explanation of reasoning behind which ones fail. And, when restoring all of the apps the process stops when a restore fails. I have to then start restoring after the failed app.
If you are relying on getting that data back don't count on Helium.
So apart from all the great guy stuff do search on Google for full backup android using adb. No rooting needed.
I would give you the link but I am on my phone today...
