I have been using Titanium Backup Pro for a long time, but something weird is happening with it now. After I flash a ROM, the first thing I usually do is restore all my apps using the "batch" option. Now when I go to the menu to choose batch, it's a totally different menu with like 10 options. Now there is no option to batch restore my apps. This started after flashing CM9 Alpha 3 by Team Chopsticks. I went back to TDJ's UCLE2 Beta 7 thinking it would correct the problem, but it didn't. Has anyone heard of this? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks...
EDIT : I found the answer. Since the latest update, the batch restore option is in the upper right hand corner of the main page. Totally Stupid!

Here's the official website. There's a change log. I never batch restore, but I would say the menus are different. There was an update recently. Your phone or you probably updated it.

Don't hit settings. Hit the box in the top right corner. Then after you choose restore, hit the check mark in the top left corner.

I have been having a problem since ICS update. TiBu Pro doesn't see any apps. No user, no system, nothing. I have root. It is pointed to the proper backup folder location and I can see the apps in there but it shows nothing in the batch menu. The filter is set to show all apps. Any suggestions?

I've uninstalled re-installed ran darkside cache wipe, no difference. I guess next I'll just Odin ICS again and start over.
It's very good program)) but as usual it has some bugs....
Titanium Backup is a very powerful tool, but the UI has always been it's weak point. It's not very user friendly and is completely noob unfriendly.

Hey all,
First off - this is in no way a knock against all the self-sacrificing developers we have - they truly rock!
My question requires a little bit of background. I've been flashing since the days (lol) of Midnight Rom. Switched to Syndicate Frozen. I then started in the CM world with CM7 and liked it a lot. I felt it was quite snappy - although it had some quirks. Then when CM9 came out - I dived in. The quirky list of things about CM9 has really grown smaller and smaller. But one issue I feel remains. The speed. When I switched to CM9, I thought, well it's new, and it "wasn't even supposed to be able to fit on our phones to begin with..." but now I just don't know.... there has been a lot of streamlining and bug tweaks - I would have thought it should have smoothed out a bit.
My problem is, I just don't know when it's going to lag. I feel like sometimes it's fine, and other times it's just sitting there waiting and waiting to complete the action I've tapped. Other times it freezes and I have to long press the back key to kill the app.
I'm just wondering if anyone else has had this problem or if it's just me? Are we living in denial (lack of snappiness to have the latest OS ver), or is my phone saying I don't like what you've put in me!
FYI - I started with CM9 Alpha (something - can't remember) and I'm currently running Beta 3 (I usually like to wait a few days to see if there's any issues with the latest build b4 flashing). When I flash the latest builds, I only wipe cache part and dalvik cache. I also am sure each time to flash the recommended GAPPS. I have on occasion "fixed permissions" but that didn't do much.
I've been faithful about not flashing another kernel - although if that would help, any recommendations would be appreciated. Also, I was interested in trying the V6 Supercharger, but never did - and now it seems that no one is using that....
So is it just me, or is this everyone?
Start clean... wipe data... go into mounts and storage format /system. Then wipe dalvik. Flash the newest build and enjoy the slick ness... trust me fresh starts will save your life. Besides when installing new builds you can go into back up and restore. Backup your Google account and it will reinstall all your apps automatically.
The V6 supercharger will help as well.

Thanks again!
Hit menu. Go to system settings go to back up and reset. Hit backup account. Choose your Google account. It doesn't notify you of when its done but 5-10 minutes should be ample. It doesn't save data... sorry. But if you need it you can use titanium backup and restore data for apps you absolutely need.
That is not the V6 you want. This is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18703418&postcount=5021
You run this is script manager. If you need a how to I'd be happy to write one. Or a visual if you honestly need one.

You will want to run these after you install the new build.
Okay the files you want to download are the V6 Supercharger Update 9 RC8.2, and the Kick Ass Kernelizer RC8. Once these are downloaded (ignore the fact they are PDF's) Go ahead and download and install Script Manger from the market and open it up and find where you downloaded those files. Run the Kick Ass Kernelizer first. Tap it the dialog comes up and tap the Superuser icon to "run as root" then hit run. It will run through its terminal deal, when it asks for the I/O tweaks go ahead and say yes... i know it says bootloop potential but it hasnt happened to me so id say your good. Then it will give your options (K)ick ass , Chew G(u)m, and E(x)it. Type in K for it to install and to unistall you would type U, then hit enter... it will run through and when it says goodbye at the end at the top left you can hit close. Then go ahead and run the V6 Supercharger the same way. This one will give your scroll options type 1 hit enter. It will as for fix emissions type y hit enter, then it will ask to system integrate init.rc type y and hit enter. Then when it gets done it will ask if you want to use these custom values.. hit no... then i normally use the 7 option... but i suggests what options which is 5-7 for the epic since it has roughly 512mb of RAM. Then it will go through a terminal print again when it comes to the Superclean and Restart go ahead and choose yes. It will reboot and your all good to go. ... definetly making a copy of this... that was a long type .
NICE - I held of from doing the wiping of system and flashing from scratch - and the V6 made a HUGE difference!!!! Now every time I flash the latest Beta I'll need to run both of these scripts again, right?

Hi.
Maybe I'm doing it wrong, but it's almost always recommended and required to do a data wipe after a ROM updates. Everybody seems like this process is normal and not a hassle.
I use AOKP (installed M6 today) on my Verizon Galaxy Nexus (toro).
I use Titanium Backup to restore my phone to the state where I left as right before the ROM update flash.
There are, however, some problems I've encountered and I was wondering if anyone could help me.
1. Using "restore app + data" only restores the app and the data cannot be recovered. I need to manually select "restore app data only" and it for the most of the time works fine. Am I doing something wrong?
2. I have about 80 apps and it asks me to confirm every time it tries to restore apps. I need to click "Install" and "Done" to restore one app. This process takes an hour. Are there any way to disable this confirmation prompt?
3. During the restore process, on the confirmation prompt for installing an app, if I press "cancel" instead of "install" Titanium Backup does not know what to do and does not move onto the next app to restore. The restore process basically gets stuck there. Does anybody know the cause of this?
Is restoring process supposed to be this much of a hassle? How do you guys do yours? Please let me know!
Thank you in advance!

It takes forever but that's how I do it. Of course I don't have 80 apps. But there should be an option to restore all missing apps and data.
But besides that, you have to click install and done for every app.

I use Titanium back up to restore apps and a few system settings. To do as many as you are doing use *batch* mode.
open Titanium>select Backup/restore tab>select the check mark (top right hand corner, between the search icon and the menu button icon. The check button maybe greyed out but is operational)
you can now select "Backup all user apps" by selecting the run button next to it. This will open a list of all user apps, make sure all the apps you want to backup are selected. Obviously deselect the ones you don't want > to run the batch operation select the green check icon in the top right hand corner.
Once backup completes go back and select "Back up all system data" and do the same.
10mins at most.
There is an option to "Backup all user apps + system data" that will make it a bit quicker.
I'm pretty sure you have to use the purchased version of Titanium Backup to do a batch restore without doing them one at a time. When you select restore apps, there's also an check box to restore data too, but I don't know if that's only in the purchased version.

Batch process is supported in the free version. From what I can assume the problem is with Android.
Every time Titanium Backup tries to restore an app by installing it, the phone asks if I want to really install it. I know this feature is part of Android, but having 80 apps this is a very painful process.
I was wondering if I can turn that prompt of at my own risk.

Batch is supported in the free version. But, if you get the paid version, that will negate all of the "install" and "done" prompts. It will install automatically, as soon as you activate the batch operation. As for why it's not able to restore data, I'm not sure.

I flashed my Galaxy Nexus last night to rooted 4.2 rom found here: http://goo.im/devs/bigxie/maguro/bigxie_maguro_OTA_JOP40C_odexed-signed.zip
The upgrade went smoothly. Not hiccups whatsoever. In less than 15 minutes I'm on 4.2 and rooted. I installed TitanumBackup, restored my apps/settings from my previous setup. That's when things started to go wonky:
First, HD widget doesn't work. It stuck in "loading...". I removed the widget, thinking that it might require an update from the devs.
Then, things started to become sluggish. I was on Nova Prime launcher. Very often it stops responding, and after a while, it shows the "Not responding...close/report/wait" dialog. I chose 'close' and the screen would go blank. I cannot wake it up using the power button or anything. I had to pull the battery out.
I thought it was the problem with the Nova launcher. After the restart, I switched to the stock launcher. It was noticeably faster, but when I launcher apps, even the App store, it would not respond again.
Does anyone have a similar experience?

Ahh that sucks man. I am not really a heavy user, but i am sure you are not the only with problems :fingers-crossed:
Especially from updated OS versions, only restore apps from TiBu. No data or system stuff. That's when problems start. Just restore apps no data, re-log in and see if problems persist.
Do a full wipe and try a different ROM. Or try that same ROM before restoring your apps and data. I haven't had any freezes or force closes since I flashed 4.2

If you did a Titanium Backup restore with Data you're going to need to do a complete wipe and re-flash. You can restore apps between different ROMs usually, but restoring data from one ROM to another different one is almost always going to give you trouble. Just do a clean install and restore app only, you should be good to go.

Before I flashed 4.2, I did both clean dalvik cache and clean data partition. I'm going to reflash this and only restore apps. Will it restore my settings if I chose not to restore data? I guess I'll find out.
No, unfortunately it isn't going to do any settings. Not sure how complex your setup is but I can usually have everything back to the way I like it in 20-30 minutes after a clean flash.

I thought that's the point of Titanium Backup. Maybe from 4.1.1 to 4.2 is too big a jump?
I did notice that on 4.2, the media partition is moved from /data/media to /data/sdcard/0. There are extra /data/sdcard/legacy and /data/sdcard/obb directories now. Not sure if it's related.

You can move or copy your /android/data and /data folders from sdcard/0 to your /sdcard folder and the apps should pick up their data again.
Definitely the problem has to do with titanium backup, I used to have those kind of issues before when I had my s2, I would recommend a fresh install of jelly bean 4.2 (factory image) and reinstall all the apps from your preferred markets.
You could try to fix permissions also, just to see if the forced closes stop

HTC One X here had weird pixelating and freezing problems couple of weeks ago so we took it to the repair. They replaced almost everything, including the main board and we got it back just now. Works fine, but there's problems with Google Play. When trying to press update, it presses to the app. If trying to press update (just above the "remove" button) it presses remove instead and asks for the app removal. If trying to install new app and to press install, it doesn't do anything.
Is this because of the new android version they just rolled on to HTC One X or if they repaired it wrong, or replaced screen bits wrong or something? Really clueless here.
The phone is onrooted and on stock ROM, if that helps. Tried clearing data and the typical stuff, reboot, no luck. Before trying root and another ROM just asking if someone has similar problem, if not maybe we can take it back to the repair without unrooting work and such...
Did you try factory reset? If you don't want to do that then root, install titanium backup and uninstall the app, reboot then reinstall.

Hi, tried factory reset, didn't change a thing. Can't press update all, open or update buttons, it always chooses the space below it... for example in "My apps" view it selects the first app when trying to click "update all". In the app view, it selects "remove" when trying to click "update"... This issue seems to be only on Google Play, other apps work fine, even when tapping that same spot that is problematic in Google Play.
I don't know if I want to root yet, because if I'm going to send it to repair I have to do lots of work to unroot it (to remain warranty). But if it's the only option so be it. I wish the repair guys didn't mess something up last time. Other thing I'm guessing that the new stock ROM has some issues, but haven't seen reported them anywhere else...
What's the latest version of Google Play and where to get it? can I install new version of Google Play to unrooted system? Thanks in advance!

Make a backup first! Before you do anything made sure you can get back to this point. I think Google play is a part of the system partition so you can't uninstall without root. Bee careful, messing with that stuff can really make your life miserable if you can't troubleshoot!

Does anyone know of a good way to automatically reinstall apps after a hard reset? Just to be clear, I want to reinstall from the Play store, not from Titanium or anything like that.
I've seen a lot of stuff indicating that that if you turn on Google Backup, it should automatically reinstall apps after a reset, but this does not seem to be happening on my 10. Thanks!
I should add that after a factory reset, the phone asks me if I want to restore apps and data from one of a list of devices. My 10 is not on the list, so maybe the problem is that the backup function is not working? I am running Viper ROM, if that matters.

do u have the "backup my data" under backup & reset settings menu enabled? also do u have the backup account set with the correct account?since your on viper then u use a custom recovery so there is an app u can use called "zipme" that creates a recovery flashable zip of any or all your apps, u just flash in recovery after reset and all ur apps are restored
Try Helium, copy the backups on internal storage to sdcard, after hard reset, copy them back, make sure you tick backup data. I haven't tried this yet, but I have restored individual apps

You have to turn on "Back up my data" & "Automatic restore".
Anther way, go to Play Store on you phone, swipe from left, go to "My apps & games", then go to the "ALL" tab (or swipe right), then long press on any uninstalled app, it will highlight it, then tap/select on all the apps you want to install (one by one), then tap "INSTALL" at the top right.

The last couple of times the backup account has shown up. Not sure what changed. However I'm using Helium and it's working well. I looked at zipme -- hasn't been updated since 2013?
