it didn't work for me because once i restored my apps, none of them were showing up in market's my apps for updating. i'm coming from the og droid, where my apps were saved with my gmail account then automatically restored. i don't know if that was something added in the roms or if i'm missing a setting, but it's no fun.

You try launching Titanium, then going to Options, Market Tools, Market Doctor? It scans your apps and re-links them to the market.

problem i have with it is everytime i reboot it loses root and have to clear data and ropen to get it to work?

I use the pro version, worked fine for me

When it quits on me I open it go home and kill it in task manager, go back and it works again.

If you're rooted you can use Titanium Backup to delete pretty much any apk on your phone. I personally recommend the Pro version because you have the ability to freeze apps too. That way you can freeze an app for a day or so to make sure your device runs okay without it and then uninstall it after that with no worries of bricking your phone. As for live wallpapers, those you can delete regardless, as far as I know, none of them are tied to anything important on your phone, i remove them pretty much with the install of every new rom.

Thanks.......

You can just uninstall the live-wallpapers, I meant that using the freeze function on TiBackup was good for when you are wanting to delete an actual app but aren't sure if it's gonna mess up your phone, that way you can freeze it to make sure your phone still works fine and then delete it later. Just make sure it's a live wallpaper you are deleting.

Google Backup/Restore

I just flashed RC3 for CM7.2. Usually when I flash new ROMs, all of my downloaded apps automatically download in Google Play Store, but this time they didn't.
Anyone know why? Is there a way to manually initiate this if auto doesn't work?

Have you considered using Titanium Backup instead? Free or paid, its waaaaaaaaaaaay more reliable than Google Restore.

Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't. It depends on the ROM.

Should I buy Titanium Backup Pro or just use the free version?

I think the free one does a good job. I have not tried the paid one though so I have nothing to compare it to.

A little off topic, but related - how do you disable Google restore? Annoys the hell out of me when it starts downloading apps I already have backed up.

You do that when you are setting up the device after a clean flash. It will ask you if you want to use Google Backup and Restore. Just uncheck the box. I'm not sure if it can be turned off after this point.

I also want to know the,answer

It doesn't ask me, it just starts installing apps when I boot the phone. Only happens with some ROMs though.
Edit: Are you talking about the setup process? If there's an option there, I may have missed it.

On sense ROMs it won't do it, but AOSP it will.

I've been seeing that option on Sense ROMs as well.

I am on AOKP R37 and I don't recall it auto downloading. I do leave google backup and restore on.

I have tried air pusher as well as several antivirus software and cant get rid of them. I have also uninstalled apps since the problem began and and still have the problem. Anyone have any ideas? I really dont want to factory wipe unless im out of options. any help would be greatly appreciated
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2

just to clarify. you used airpush detector or addons detector from the market to find out witch apps were causing this?

How long has this been happening for? Did you install a hacked application from outside of the market?

Try Norton's new app spot detector

Dang... that's gotta be annoying. You should probably do a reset and start fresh.

Are you rooted? If so I would do a titanium backup, then create a backup in CWM, wipe all your data and do a clean install, then using titanium backup re load your apps one by one until you find which is the problem application.

[Q] De-bloating OTA 4.3

Hello Everyone,
Since it looks like I will be stuck on OTA 4.3 version for awhile,I might as well play with it for awhile... I was just wondering what would be the best way to de-bloat this sucker? I am rooted already and have CWM 6.0.4.3 installed. Has there been a script developed already like Ashman's for this new version?
Thank you in advance!

Is there possibly a "safe" list for the new version?
Thank you

I haven't seen one yet but you can definetly delete carrier apps like my account etc and google apps like google maps safely.

Also, make sure you make a nandroid backup before you delete any system files with titanium. There is no other way to go back if you delete the wrong app and/or softbrick.

I haven't seen a new list or script. An old list I came across has a post to a docs spreadsheet for the SGS3

Please understand that I am not vouching for anything on that list, even the things I have frozen with TiBu

Thank you all for your help with this. I got rid of a bunch of apps I didn't want and things are running smoothly

I have found as others have if you turn off Paper Artist that Gallery force closes when you attempt to share a picture. Not sure if using Tibu will cause the same issue, I haven't re-rooted yet. You may want to test if you got rid of Paper Artist. Just a thought.

I uninstalled a bunch of stuff and was getting a bunch of force closes. I then decided to switch to quantum room and kernel for the debloating they did and the speed and reliability
