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
I have two Motorola 820HT Bluetooth headsets. From day one I had no problems with them. (they even worked better on the G2 than my TP2 and EVO 4g) I woke up last Friday to find the G2 trying to update. After the update every thing worked fine until I got a call at work. I listen to a LOT of music/radio/podcast etc.... anyway i was listing to some music and the phone rings, here's where the problems lies. After I hung up the ONLY way a can resume playing music though the headset is to turn them off, then turn them back on. It dose the same thing on both of them. I even tried my friends JBTH710 headset and had the same problem. I can see the numbers moving in the music player, but no audio comes out until I turn off then turn on. Has anyone else had this problem; and if so what did you do to fix it? Taking the phone back to T-mobile for a replacement (to get a phone without the update) is not a answer because without wifi calling I can't use the phone at home.
Just to be clear (I'm not the best typist in the world) If I get a call with Bluetooth parried to my phone and I want to listen to something though my headset after the call, ( it can be five hours after the call) I have to turn off the headset then turn them back on.
Thank you for any feedback that helps me or anyone with this problem solve it.
Having the same problem as you
I think I have figured it out its the new bluetooth 2.2 that was used with the OTA. I think if we can get the old one from the pre-OTA and adb push it to the system it could work. This problem has made my bluetooth radio useless in the car when I get a call and hang up it should go were it left off from the music or podcast but you can see its still playing but no sound. So always have to disconnect bluetooth and reconnect it for it to work again. So if anybody has the pre-OTA please use adb and pull the bluetooth and upload it to rapidshare or whoever you use to were I can try this and see if it fixes the problem.
My parrot evo 3k (Parrot v5.11c) won't connect with my G2. I haven't tried with original rom, but this problem exists on the Ota, CM RC3, and CM RC4. My G1 had a similar problem in some froyo builds, but I think it was fixed in RC1 or the nighties. I know it worked great from dream-sapphire 230 or so on. Can a BT from older builds be pushed in to recent builds?
Tried adb pushing the old bluetooth.apk from the first rom to the new ota and it didn't work. I think its the new radio in the ota that messed up the bluetooth from working right I think I'm going to maybe flash the old radio and see if that works. And if anyone is experiencing this issue and you have solved the problem please let us know how you did it .

G2 TMOBILE OTA BROKE UP MY BLUETOOTH.. Here is how i fixed it...
I AM SURE THAT EVERYONE ALREADY KNOWS THIS. BUT I WANT TO SAY UP FRONT.. WHENEVER YOU TRY TO ROOT YOUR PHONE AND CHANGE THE ROM, YOU RUN THE RISK OF PERMANENTLY BRICKING YOUR PHONE.
With that being said, I will start my rant.
ISSUE: I would be connected with my stereo headset listening to music. The
phone would ring an the music paused. I was able to take the call on the headset without issue. After hanging up on the call, the music would never resume on the headset. The music was streaming on the device but no music on the headset. I had to toggle Bluetooth off then back on to get it to work again. It seemed that the A2DP bluetooth connection would get corupted everytime a call was replaced or received. I tried 5 different A2DP enabled bluetooth devices and they all did the same thing. These 5 bluetooth devices all worked just fine with my Mytouch and my G1. So it definatelty was the phone. T-mobile tried to tell me that all of my bluetooth devices must have been broken. They are the thing that is broken. On my G2, I have had a lot of connectivity issues with bluetooth and wifi after that stupid OTA update.
QUICK WORKAROUND but at a price : Just go to bluetooth settings and toggle off the phone bluetooth connection but leave the media connected. You will need to take all calls on the phone handset but the music (A2DP) connection will not be broken when a call is placed or received. If you have multiple bluetooth devices, you need to change this setting for each device.
T-mobile claimed that it was the radio firmware From HTC.
T-Mobile tried to tell me that it was an HTC issue and HTC tried to tell me that it was a T-mobile issue.
HTC was correct and T-Mobile is a bunch of morons as usual.
My PERMANENT fix Listed below... 1 I rooted the phone. (Permanent Root) 2I installed Rom Manager and selected "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" (v2.5.1.3) then I rebooted into recovery and did a backup. That will get you a backup of your stock phone. 3Next, I wiped all data on the phone (from the recovery screen) and then installed Cyanogen 6.1.1 for the G2 (CyanogenMod-6.1.1-vision) 4Rebooted into Recovery and installed google apps.
MY BLUETOOTH NOW ROCKS! WORKS PERFECTLY. The WIFIis also working flawlessly now.
A few issues you should be aware of before changing the ROM. 1 You will lose swype if you don't grab the 2 swype files from your phone right after you root. 2 Before doing ANYTHING,, go into your settings and let Google back up your Data then manually initiate a sync in settings so you know that your app data has been backed up to google, Android will pull the T-Mobile WIFI CALIING app back to the phone automatically after you install the Cyanogen mod and sign into your google account on the phone. I also read somewhere that wifi calling was included in cyanogen. So I am not sure which is the reason it ends back up on your phone with cyanogen but it does. 3 You will also need to install the google package to get all your google apps back.
..........................................................................................................
..........................................................................................................
Exactly what I did. (NO ROOM FOR MISTAKES ON THE ROOTING !!!.. BE CAREFUL, HAVE A FULLY CHARGED BATTERY, TAKE YOUR TIME AND HAVE NO DISTRACTIONS!)
Make sure that you fully read the whole Rooting Procedure 3 times before you attempt it.
ROOTING ........
I rooted from the link below.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision#Rooting_the_G2
There is a lot of info on the above linked page.. below are the lines from where i started and stopped. I did no more than what is in between the following start and end lines. (you can just search for the text on the page to find quickly)
STARTING FROM THE LINE: Rooting the Vision (G2/DZ) and DHD
ENDING ON THE LINE: Did it work? Here's what you're looking for:
YOUR G2 SHOULD NOW BE ROOTED AT THIS POINT BEFORE CONTINUING ON.
......................................................................................................
......................................................................................................
BACKING UP SWYPE
DOWNLOAD ASTRO FILEMANAGER FROM THE MARKET.
There are 2 files you must copy from phone memory to SD card.
These files are "Swype.apk" and "libSwypeCore.so"
The apk file is located in /system/app and
the so file is located in /system/lib
Both of these locations are in the phone memory an not the SD card.
You just copy and paste to get them to your sd card.
MAKE SURE YOU DO THIS IF YOU DON'T WANT TO LOOSE SWYPE.
BACKUP WI-FI CALLING AND QUICK OFFICE
Both files are located in /system/apps (on phone memory)
Copy the following 2 files to your SD card
WI-FI Calling install file - "MS-HTCVISION-KNT20-02.apk"
QuickOffice install file - "Quickoffice.apk"
......................................................................................................
AFTER THE PHONE HAS BEEN SUCCESSFULLY ROOTED AND YOU REMEBERED TO GRAB THE 2 SWYPE FILES
INSTALL ROM MANAGER....
Go to the market and install ROM Manager. Start Rom Manager.
Select "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" (v2.5.1.3) when it is done installing
select "Reboot into Recovery" to make sure it works. Once in recovery highlight and select "reboot system now" After phone has booted back up, proceed with steps below.
......................................................................................................
DOWNLOAD CYANOGEN ROM 6.1.1 ......
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/files/file/186-update-cm-611-vision-signedzip/
DOWNLOAD GOOGLE APPS FILE.....
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/files/download/152-google-addon-hdpi-20101114/
(I would recommend only downloading this from cyanogen and nowhere else. There is a corrupt version floating around on a few different sites with the same name.)
TO INSTALL CYANOGEN MOD.....
1Connect your phone to PC and mount the SD card. Copy the cyanogen mod file and the google apps file to the root of the G2's SD card.
(update-cm-6.1.1-vision-signed.zip and gapps-hdpi-20101114-signed.zip)
2Boot your phone into Recovery
(While in recovery highlight & select with optical trackball)
3Select "backup and restore" then select "backup"
(This will backup your stock OS, Apps and Data from phone to sd card)
4Select "wipe data/factory reset" Scroll down to "Yes -- delete all user data"
5Select "install zip from sd card" then select "choose zip from sd card"
then scroll to the cyanogen mod file (update-cm-6.1.1-vision-signed.zip) and select it. When the process is complete press the back button to go back to the main recovery menu and select "reboot system now"
6You need to install the google apps now. After the phone boots up with cyanogen, reboot the phone back into recovery. Select "install zip from sd card" then select "choose zip from sd card" then scroll to the google install file (gapps-hdpi-20101114-signed.zip) and select it. When the process is complete press the back button to go back to the main recovery menu and select "reboot system now"
7Restore Swype
Copy from the SD card (it is on your SD card wherever you put it) "libSwypeCore.so" to /system/lib (which is phone memory. I used an app called RootExplorer from the market. I needed to use that to make the /system/lib directory writable. When you first start RootExplorer, the superuser app will pop up a permission box. Make sure you select "allow" or this won't work.)
Then go in astro filemanager, navigate to "Swype.apk" (it is on your SD card wherever you put it) and tap it to install.
Now you need to make Swype active..
- (from the home screen) Select "MENU" then "Settings" then "Language & keyboard"
- Tick on Swype
- Go to your text messaging app (make sure physical phone keyboard is closed)
- Tap in the text box to type a message.
- Long press on text entry box and select "Input method"
- Then select Swype
You will then have your Swype back.
8 Restore WI-FI Calling if it isn't already installed.
go in astro filemanager, navigate to "MS-HTCVISION-KNT20-02.apk" (it is on your SD card wherever you put it) and tap it to install.
9 Restore Quick Office.
go in astro filemanager, navigate to "Quickoffice.apk" (it is on your SD card wherever you put it) and tap it to install.
.........................................................................................................
WHEN YOU HAVE YOUR PHONE ALL SET UP JUST THE WAY YOU WANT, DO YOURSELF A FAVOR..... REBOOT TO RECOVERY AND RUN A BACKUP.

I just flashed a new ROM and now the Bluetooth works like it should. Gingervillian 1.5 awesome.

I appreciate your detailed explanation! I am a complete noob. I just rooted my g2 a few days ago and trying to read as much as I can and get up to speed.
I do have a question for you as far as backing up swype and other apps. Can you just use titanium backup to back up your apps like swype, quickoffice etc? Thanks in advance.
I was thinking of doing your method mentioned above as well as using titanium backup just because I'm paranoid about losing apps/bricking my phone, etc. Trying to be as careful as possible.
(Backed up and still running stock rom on rooted g2, have installed oc kernel after backing up)
Well, I've been using InsertCoin-Vision v1.3 ROM (which in my opinion are among the bests) on my T-Mobile G2. With this ROM and with VIRTUOUS FUSION ROM by rmk I have no problems with the bluetooth A2DP.
Nevertheless, I had a A2DP bluetooth problem (reported here forums.t-mobile.com/t5/T-Mobile-G2/Post-OTA-Update-BlueTooth-issue/td-p/542367): when I connect my phone to the car stereo player (JVC AVX-33) thru bluetooth A2DP the audio cuts out and skips all the time when the music is playing (I use PowerAmp application). It happens with almost ALL ROMs, no matter if it's stock, CM6, CM7, xboarders or RMK's (Virtuous G-Lite for example)... except with the VIRTUOUS FUSION and InsertCoin-Vision (v1.2 or 1.3) !!!!
Well, I'm very happy about this fact, but I'd like to know if you could explain to me the difference between Virtuous Fusion or InsertCoin-Vision (where the problem is solved) and Virtuous G-Lite or Cyanogen7 (where the problem occurs) in terms of bluetooth libs, config, etc., that could have solved that problem.
By the way, I used to listen music with the same car stereo and my old Motorola Milestone and I had no problem at all.
Thanks in advance and excuse me to bother you with this kind of question.
Best regards,
Tiago Peixoto.
My problem is that my cars headunit will not automatically connect to my phone or visa versa. i have to manually connect the phone to the car. Its really anoying. Now that I have perm root I have been testing several ROMs and have yet to find one that will actually fix the problem mentioned throughout this post. I just installed the Virtious Unity ROM but have yet to see if the problem is gone. With the Virtious Sense ROM I still had the same problem.
@ iagocpeixoto I've had the same issue with the audio cutting in and out in the past on stock ROM. The problem was that WiFi was also enabled. Its weird but disabling WiFi will eliminate that fading in and out while listening to audio through Bluetooth.
love this rom, upgraded to 3.0 and dig it, only hangup i'm experiencing is that i'm suddenly having issues regarding internal memory...other than updating the rom from 2.1, i've made no changes nor added any apps, however, upon upgrading, i all of a sudden didn't have enough space for all of the apps i had on here before and now i'm constantly getting low storage prompts when attempting to get on a browser or updating existing apps...initially thought maybe it was due to not going through full wipe on update, so went back and completely wiped and installed rom, issue still remains, please advise on what might be happening here, thanks in advance

Your best bet would be to wipe the cache of your apps. I think there are apps in the Android market that do this for you.

well i have done that as well via ES Task manager, but still come back to the same problem; "low memory" and unable to load any of my previous apps, nor update the ones that actually did load..i don't see why it would suddenly be an issue, when it never was before changing the rom, doesn't make sense..confusing, but would like to get this resolved..thanks
Turn off Automatic restore in Settings - Privacy
Boot into recovery, wiping system / cache / dalvik
Only install NBS 3.0 v2.2
Reboot
Do Not sign into any account
Do Not restore any apps
Do Not use Market
Go to Settings-SD & phone storage-
Note your Phone memory "available space"
Use the "Make more space" option if desired
Restart normally
Sign into your Google account
Start restoring apps manually through the Market first
Keep track of your phone memory and wear the apps are being installed to
The idea is to find out what apps take up the most space in your phone memory and move whatever you can to your sdcard. Also, by not checking "Automatic restore" in Settings-Privacy, you control what gets installed.
Good luck and please repost here your results, good, bad or indifferent.
Much love my friend,
Chris7os
thanks chris, i'll give that a shot, but still leaves pondering why it would all of a sudden be an issue, where it wasn't before? thanks
Im running the latest stable version of CM with Amon Ra recovery. It runs great except for these three problems.
1. I use the Zeam Home Launcher and every time I reboot the system resets it back to the default launcher. I press home and choose Zeam launcher, but none of my widgets load.
2. Is there a way to keep Wifi on even when the screen is turned off. I know this was a setting on MIUI, however I cant find a setting for CM7. I would like it to stay on all the time.
3. I have the latest version of the Market. When I search for an app it displays the total number of matches found in the top right corner. However, when I scroll down the list it ends after about 20-30 apps even though there its showing hundreds of matches. I then do the same search online, see all the available apps, and know for certain that they are compatible and can install them from online.
I have done a factory reset twice and reinstalled everything, including ROM and Recovery.
Thanks for reading and any help you might be able to provide.

1. When you choose the zeam launcher, make sure you check the box that says 'set as default' set your widgets. They should stick now.
2. Settings > Wireless settings > Wifi Settings > Press Menu > Advanced > Wifi sleep policy: set to never
3. If you keep manually scrolling the rest of the results should show up.
One Down....
1. Zeam launcher has been set to default launcher every time. Tried again with no success.
2. FIXED. Thanks. Why in the world would they make you press "Menu" inside of a menu window ? Seems weird to me.
3. Scrolling changes nothing. How would you NOT scroll manually anyways ? Not trying to be rude, just sayin.
One down, two to go !

Have you tried installing a new market? [vending]
Download the latest CM7 gapps, extract the vending.apk [market], place it on your sd card, then install it.
I had the same problem with the Market, and I know others did too. Mine was only on occasion, but still obnoxious. So far the newest Market leaked from ICS (version 3.2.0) has fixed the problem for me. I couldn't install it over, I had to replace the apk in /system/app, set permissions (rw-r--r--) and reboot. Remove or rename any com.android.vending.apk you may have in /data/app, just in case. Backup your old Market in Titanium Backup or rename it so you can revert back if needed.
Link here: http://db.tt/pTvEmx4v
As for the launcher issue, I had similar problems when I was running CM7 way back on nightly 21 or something. Try updating to a newer version or downgrading to a previous version. Or you can try reflashing the rom over itself. You'll need to reinstall the new Market if you flash anything.

Launcher Issue
Notice: The stock launcher for CM is ADW Launcher. I'm not a big fan of it either so I've also replaced mine. Normally just installing a launcher from the market and selecting it as your default launcher (via the pop up window that displays when you have multiple launchers installed) is all it takes to make it a default. I normally wouldn't advocate changing your system apps. However, in your case it seems like the system just doesn't want to cooperate with you.
Here is how to do it.
1. Make sure ALL launchers are uninstalled. (except for ADW of course)
2. Download a root file explorer like ES File Explorer
3. Download Zeam Home Launcher's apk file to your SD card
4. Open ES File Explorer (or whatever root file manager you downloaded) and make sure your root folder is mounted (so that you can modify its contents instead of it being read only)
5. Copy Zeam Launcher apk from SD card to /System/App/
6. Delete the apk for ADW Launcher (the stock launcher) from /System/App/ (or you can just move it to your SD card in case you decide later that you want to use it again)
7. Reboot phone
8. Enjoy Zeam as your new PERMANENT stock launcher.
Hi!
I bought a used HTC Desire. The person selling it had rooted the phone, installed a new ROM (miui, as far as I can tell, since there's at least the miui camera. He said he had wanted an ICS rom) and the phone is using the SD card for increasing its memory. Titanium Backup, LauncherPro, AC!D SoundMOD, Dolby Mobile, ES File Explorer, Firewall, Fancy Widgets, Pimp My Rom, QuickPic, SuperSU, two instances of Superuser, Task Manager and Theme Manager have been installed. LauncherPRO is used as the "desktop environment".
Some things from the "About Phone" dialogue:
Model number: HTC Desire
Android version: 4.0.4
Baseband version: 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27
Kernel version: 2.6.38.8-cayniarb-ics-stock-022612-00844-ge004de8
Build number marius.a v.2.5(Temporary version)
The problem is, reboots keep causing programs to disappear or get corrupt. There are several ways in which this happens:
* Some programs launch, but don't show anything. For example Firefox ends up showing only a white screen with some basic OS-wide UI elements visible.
* Most programs simply say "Unfortunately, <programname> has stopped", where <programname> of course varies according to program.
* Some programs launch for a while, but fall to the "unfortunately, <foo> has stopped" after a second or a minute.
* Some programs completely disappear, leaving at best a picture of a green robot on the home screen. Touching the picture with my finger, I get: "Could not launch the requested activity."
* There is one program still working flawlessly: Andropas, a PT route planner for my city and Maverick, a GPS/maps program.
Also the Play store is now broken, although it survived many earlier program mass deaths.
I've fixed Firefox several times by uninstalling it using ES File Explorer and then digging it from the Downloads folder (I've installed a beta from an .apk file) and installing it again.
A reboot doesn't always break programs: My previous two reboots left FF intact. I once rebooted choosing Reboot from the menu you get by pulling the panel on the upper side of the screen downwards and then choosing TOGGLES and once choosing Shutdown from the same menu, waiting for the phone to shut down and then starting it again.
I am therefore not completely sure if the problem is reboot-related, but it has by now only appeared when I've rebooted my phone.
For adjusting yourself: This is my first Android phone, but I would call myself generally tech savvy and am able to grasp new OSes very quickly. A power user for sure, but not a developer on any platform whatsoever.
So... Any idea of what I should fix in order to get the phone functioning correctly?
If I have to go for installing another ROM, is there something about using the SD Card as memory extension that I should take into account in order not to brick my phone?
You have an old version of the Marius.a ICS Rom, and it has bugs. You should flash the newest one.
If that doesn't solve it, then repartition your sd-card. Check the guide in my sig.
