[Q] Titanium Backup and Google Play store - problem - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Not finding an answer to this one so posting. I know there is an issue - I saw the update notes in TB. TB just freezes part way through backing up.
However, what I don't know is if there is a workaround. At the moment I cannot get a TB backup at all, so I can't flash a rom.
Anyone know a way around this??

what the error?
TB should be able to do a backup independently from the new play store, it has problem only if u want unlink some apps from the market

Hmm, that is news to me. The problem is just that TB freezes part way through doing a backup. Doesn't show an error - just sits in notification bar doing nothing. Have to reboot to get rid of it.
<<edit>> TB also keeps freezing just when I try to scroll through its menus. Just removed and reinstalled it but still the same.

Well did a bit more searching and found this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1567118 .
Works. Just clear data for google play store app.
Thank christ that's fixed.

Try MyBackup Pro that should not freeze and does everything you need. Or MyBackup Root, that's free!

Equalizer "Sound Effects Currently Not Available"

Has anyone been getting the Sound Effects Currently Not Available text when trying to change the equalizer settings?
Never had this problem in the nordic rom or stock, running the .42 rom
I know i can get winamp or poweramp but i really like the stock music app
Anyone have any ideas?
Hmm nope works fine and dandy for me.
Say... you wouldn't happen to have frozen someting with titanium backup that is needed for it to function?

I think it's an app TBH, because all was fine with the music player until i used titanium to restore all my backed up apps
I've been hearing that when restoring apps with titanium that if you restore user data also, things can go bad. So I personally just always restore app only.
But maybe that's got noting to do with it in your case.
Could be titanium backup, i've tried deleting data files related to equalizers and replaced the music.apk with the one found in the latest firmwares .ftf, no joy. Someone's gotta know what's going on.
I think i figured it out, it might help someone in the future, after 4 .ftf flashes and countless factory resets it was either volume+ or adfree's backup in titanium backup.
I finally restored apps + data on games and stuff that didn't require root access, then i re-downloaded from the market the root apps that i had one by one restarted my phone after each install and checked equalizer settings until i got to adfree and volume +, i don't really need any of them now I've found alternatives but i'm pretty sure one of them is to blame when you restore them with data.

Titanium Backup keeps crashing, am i alone?

Woke up today just to see that Titanium Backup had crashed during the scheduled backup tonight. Since then i haven't been able to do anything with it!
Sometimes it crashes right off the start, sometimes i can start a backup and have it crash about ~12-14% in. I tried going in to the settings and checking the "AUTO, indirect" setting that they recommend if you're having problems, but that didn't help either. (And it took me 3 tries to get in to the settings without it crashing!)
I've tried wiping all the app data, re-installing it, installing an older version (that they suggest on their website if having issues). I also tried re-setting the super user permissions for it. None of which helps!
I haven't found any information on it yet, so i assume i'm alone with this? Have anyone else been having the same issue?
Just emailed the support, but i imagine it will take at least a week for them to reply (if they do).
So, any suggestions?
EDIT: I just timed it and it appears to crash after approx 30 seconds, no matter what i do in the application. I Hope the developers sees this.
DOUBLE EDIT: It appears to be working again after updating to v4.9.0.1.
I don't do scheduled backups but the app hasn't failed me yet doing it manually.
well id suggest connecting to your pc and backup the titaniumbackup folder (that way you know all your backups are safe)
then making a nandroid backup
then flashing another ROM or just wiping and reflashing the same ROM you're using

The backups i have stored are outdated now, i've changed a lot since the last update. The plan all along was to do a titanium backup, sync it to dropbox, flash this rom, and then restore all my apps etc. So i'm really kind of out of options now, unless i download everything manually and set everything up again. Doesn't sound very fun tbh. I might just try to find an alternative to titanium, but i'd really like to get it working again. Nothing seems to help.
You are not alone!
Hi, just to say you are not alone. Your case 99% similar to mine.
Just encountered this freeze after the app update on 18/19 Mar and the app will freeze even when I do nothing in the app. And yes, what a coincidence, the app when backup under schedule has stopped (with screen save off) at 14% completion.
Tried the method of deleting the app data and reinstall the app and even worse, now the app stops right when launching after a moment of black screen.
Already filed email and log file to support hopefully there will be an answer...
Hi, I'm also having exactly the same problem with TBU. Am on the pro version.
This has been a problem for about a week now. Not sure if it doesn't play nicely with CM9 or the kernel i'm running. What are you guys running? I may re-flash stock ICS and see if it still gives me problems. Quick question, does reflashing stock ICS remove root? I read somewhere it does and just want to get some different opinons.
Am running a CM9 nightly with Franco Kernal on GMS Galaxy Nexus.

I am also on pro version. Mine is at stock 4.0.2.
And yes, if you re-flash stock you lose root and have to re-root.
I am very very suspecting the crash is something related to the license checking of pro-key so that will explain why the program will crash in 20-30 sec without any special action doing or launching in the app. Just my guess... Hope the support will answer back shortly...
Thanks for the help, have uninstalled for now, will you post if the dev gets back to you?
Interesting that it's happening across a range of different setups.

Oh my god! It works!!!!! I love you @andQlimax!
To all: Yes, the problem solved after I clear the cache and data of the play store. Beware that I also cleared out data of titanium backup before that when tackling the problem, but you may not need to...
IT WORKS!!!!!!!
Thanks, been without backups since play came. I had tried to clear Google Play Store cache but not data and that fixed it.

Thank you very much, guys!
After a few days of desperate waiting for an update of TB, you made my day. Clearing caches and data of Titanium and Google Play solved the problem.
I would've never solved this big distress without you guys, you r my saaaaaaaviors, my superheroes

android revolution hd 10.3 - push not supported HTC One X

hi guys newbie here,
I know this should probably be posted in the rom thread but due to lack of posts I cant ask the question there, I have installed ARHD 10.2 and now updated to 10.3 and on both versions of the rom get the notice ( on facebook / friendcaster ) - unable to enable notifications as your phone does not support push messages, everything else seems to be fine, just wondered if anyone has come across this or if there is something I have done wrong.
Again sorry if this is posted in the wrong place

google account seems installed and set up ( play is working fine and logged in with my google account on phone set up) anything else I should check? sorry like i said kinda new to this
I restored all apps and data with titanium
thanks for your response
I've seen this pop up a couple of times on the forum, but don't recall of there was a fix.
I would take a backup (if you have titanium, I'm assuming you're rooted, so both nandroid and titanium backup) and then factory reset, put your Google account back and try the apps again.
Once you've confirmed it works, use titanium to restore user apps and data, NOT system apps or data.
Hey,
maybe you should reflash 10.3.. and before that wipe data and wipe cache.. worked for me.
My push notifications work.

Uninstalled google search on stock rooted Rom - now having issues - help!

Hey everyone,
I uninstalled Google Search (google now) because I couldn't click on any of the settings on my stock, s-off, rooted and unlocked rom with flar2's kernel. I had a titanium backup of it, but restoring just the backup without any of the data did not work. Nor did restoring the app+data.
I reinstalled the application on the play store, but now I am having force close issues when I try to open it from anywhere. I know the original name of the application on our phones is Velvet.apk, but I can't recall if it was in system/app or system/priv-app. Does anyone know? If you could look and tell me, I would put the titanium backup apk into that folder and then install from there to see if that fixes the problem.
Please please please help! Google now is a huge part of my phone experience. It's really annoying because even after uninstalling it and reinstalling it from the play store, I still could not click on any settings. So stupid.

correct way to switch ROMs with titanium backup

I'm trying to get my head around titanium backup and the correct way to restore data when switching ROMs. Some people say you have to restore your device ID. I've always had issues with notifications after restoring app data. I'm interested what is the correct procedure and What I'm doing wrong?

For me... I only backup user apps I dont backup system data. When restoring I don't restore WhatsApp and twitter( I noticed delayed notification if I restore with titanium ) So u download WhatsApp and twitter from play store and do ur normal setup. That's what works for me with delayed notification
Also never did any device id restore

i usually just restore everything. except all apps that needs GCM or CCM for notifications. restoring apps like whats app breaks notifications so those apps just install from playstore.

whats app well. dont delete whats app folder when you reinstall app it can restore settings and messages.
on telegram no need.
On MIUI I sometimes had that problem with WhatsApp and delayed notifications but with AOSP never happend. You could also try Migrate.
