I ran a titanium backup, then I deleted a bunch of stock apps, then I ran another titanium backup in preparation to flash my first custom rom.
My question is, after I flash the custom rom and use Titanium Backup to restore my apps and settings, is it going to restore all of those apps I deleted? I opened the Titanium folder on my SD card and all of those apps appear to be listed there.

If you didnt remove them apps from the back up then yes it will restore them. There shoudl be an option if you scroll down i batch where you can see delete back ups for noninstalled apps. I would do this and it should remove the back ups of any app you previously removed but had backed up.
Careful, Titanium doesn't actually take backups of system apps, just their data. If you delete system apps you may not be able to restore them with Titanium.
Does anyone have those stock apps, so i can reinstall through titanium? And how exactly is it done... Thanks.....

ditto! Need a zip file if possible with stock apps (mainly stock.apk and widget, news.apk, newsreader, rss.apk, friendstream and widget)
as far as how it's done it depends on your phone.
run
cmd
adb push filename.apk /system/app
In TB, it shows the system apps I had deleted, and they have a line through the file name. Below each one, it says that there isnt any backup of those apps. If I open them, it only gives me the option to un-install them. Should I keep them there in case I need them when I find a way to re-install them?
Certain system apps will not reinstall even if you have a backup of them. If you uninstall Facebook for HTC Sense, for example, there is no way of reinstalling it and getting it to work again. Be careful what you uninstall.
If you pay for the TB Pro Key, you can backup system apps (the actual apk) and restore them to /system/app - I've done so anyway. You shouldn't restore them (or their data) on other roms. You can also freeze the app to test if anything will break by removing it. Freezing doesn't remove the app, just keeps it from running or showing in your app drawer. I know it's a bit pricey, but I think it was more than worth the price. Plus you get background app restores, meaning that you don't have to agree to permissions and select install for each app.
You don't have to restore everything that you backup. When you choose to batch restore (select "restore missing apps with data"), you can uncheck which apps you don't want reinstalled. I usually only restore the apps I absolutely need after a clean install, then if I need an app later I'll restore it. This helps to weed out apps you don't use. You can of course do this with the free version.
If you've removed apps and need them again, you can download the rom and extract the apps you need then push them to /system/app. Or you can just flash the rom over itself without wiping data, just wipe caches. If you're running stock you can do this with the stock rooted rom.

I can't post on the Development forum so I'll post here. I am trying to delete some of the apps off of the incROM I just flashed but I can't figure out how. The rom says:
5. My ROM's utilize a data/app partition so you may remove some of the stock apps that are installed that you may not want.
I went into astro file manager and looked on my computer explorer but couldn't figure out where these apps were being held.
Thanks.
If they're in data/app you should be able to go to settings>applications>manage applications and uninstall anything you don't want. Aslo Titanium Backup from the market works great, just be careful, it well let you uninstall think you shouldn't. Hope this helps.

+1 on Titanium backup - you can freeze them as well in TB, and don't have to delete them.
Recommend the premium (paid) version of TB.
Root Explorer (highly recommended paid app in market and well worth the money) will let you browse the SD and r/w just like windows file explorer.
Hence, once you have the tools, and can locate the apps you want to whack, you can do so.
Make a full backup of all user apps in TB AND a nandroid backup BEFORE you begin killing off apps, so you can get back to 'stock' IncROM if you do something you didn't intend to do, or want something back you may have deleted.
I have the premium version of Titanium Backup which I have been using for over a year with much success.
I have one query which would make it really awesome if it can be accomplished.
I normally only use it when doing a ROM upgrade. When I am getting ready to upgrade, I delete all my old backups, do a new set of backups on all user apps + system data, and wipe and flash the ROM. Then, when I'm back inside, I go into the Market and download Titanium plus the Pro unlock, and restore the backup.
(First of all, is this what you guys do? restoring all system data shouldn't screw up the features of the new ROM from the old one, right?)
The question is: Is there any way to have Titanium run without having to first go into the Market, find the app plus the unlock, download it, and install it? i.e. If I could just run it straight off the SD card, or install it straight off the SD card without having to use the Market.
Ideally, it would be even better if I could have a startup script on first run where it just restores the full set of apps + system data after I've flashed the ROM.
Is this at all possible?
download or extract from a rom the titanium.apk, put it on sd-card an install the apk after flashing new rom and it´s done.

Never restore system data as it can and has causes issues. It is only advised to restore user apps and data never system data.
As for your other question no not that I know of. Most roms worth anything already include TIBU so all you have to do is install the pro key and run it.
Start Titanium backup
Goto menu/more/create update>zip
scroll down and hit "create update.zip"
when you install a new Rom just use "add another zip" when in Rom manager or 4EXT recovery
Goto SD card and select "update.zip" from root of SD card
Hope that helps

Thanks, that's great!
Do you know if it is smart enough to bundle the Pro unlock into the update.zip? I opened the zip file up and there only appears to be 1 APK in there.
Would it be difficult (or even possible?) to manually adjust the update.zip so that it includes the Pro unlock APK?

Pro unlock is stored on the SD card, no need to worry about it

So I'm returning my nexus for a replacement today. Some kind of battery issue that makes it keep turning off every night:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34923533#post34923533
On restoring, if I understand right, I'm going to move my titanium folder back to the new nexus to the SD card area.
Run my TiBU apk and just restore my apps and associated files.
If I understand right, I Should Not restore my system files right? (Although i did a lot of customizing i was hoping could come right over).
Then when i have it all customized again, I'll back up the new system and hopefully it won't have any issues anymore.
Just an android noob talking it through, sound good?
I'll be installing the rom and CM10 again of course before doing this.

Sorry, i take this opportunity to ask a question i had in mind for a long time: what exactly do you mean by "system data"?
I mean, can i restore stuff like "Settings", or "Wireless network", "Bluetooth associations", "SMS", "Wallpaper" and stuff like this? Is really annoying to have to re-customize from scratch the CyanogenMod settings and similar stuff, everytime i do a full wipe...

You can restore these, they're not system level files (i.e. make the system run)

Could you tell me a couple of examples?
I'm sorry but i really can't figure out which ones are the system apps. In my opinion, even Settings and Wireless networks are system apps.
Do you mean all the services, frameworks, sms and contacts apps and stuff like this?

I think he's talking about app names that are red-colored while you're doing the backup in Titanium BackUp.
Am I right?

I have a arc s and it has come to a point where atlest once a week i flash a new rom and check on my device. It will be nice if there is a way i can backup all the user apps i have installed in one Rom and restore them to other new Rom i install. Its a real headace to download all the apps from.play store again and install. I guess TB solves this but i am not sure how to use it. Can someone help me out??
Thanks
Ever thought of looking on youtube or xda? anyway... start TB > Press the menu button > now choose "batch" > and now backup all your user apps (or what ever apps you want to backup) or you can backup user apps + system data
same goes with restoring
I have a few questions about removing bloatware from the stock ROM.
1) The guide here suggests removing the apk from the system partition. What about all the other installation files and data? How do you remove that?
2) Would using the uninstall option in titanium backup be better?
3) (For apps that are in /system but have been updated) Is is better to use titanium backup's "integrate update onto ROM" option or manually move the apk from data to system?
Thanks

i would remove bloatware with titanium back-up. But an even better option would be to install a stock-ics-based custom rom which has all bloatware removed
1. Use titanium backup to clear app data before uninstall.
2. Use titanium
3. Do it like you want. Titanium may be more easier

Or use an app called system cleanup free from play store it gives you brief description of what each file is and if safe to remove, and it will delete all related data
