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The backups i have stored are outdated now, i've changed a lot since the last update.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.

Camera App isn't saving pictures! Awarding $10 for solution.

My camera app isn't saving anything locally whenever I take a picture. In fact, there's no gallery icon in the camera app at all that you can normally click on it to take you there.
Also, when I try to attach a photo to a message from the MMS app, Gallery crashes and photo never attaches.
Finally, when I load up Gallery manually, all it sees is my 'Screenshots' folder and a couple of screenshots that I have saved in there. There's no camera photos anywhere.
I'm running AOKP JB B2 and FrankoKernel Milestone 5
Any ideas? I've tried SD rescan already. I'm wondering if I need to reformat my internal storage. I've just noticed that my 'external storage' isn't showing up when I plug my GN into my PC as well and whenever I run SDRescan, SwiftKey starts getting angry and tells me I have no language files and I have to redownload the English dictionary again.
Finally, I'm offering $10 via PayPal to the person who can help me fix this issue. Thanks!

Is your camera folder still there?

Have you tried using an alternative camera app, to make sure the internal SD is working with photos? I suggest CameraICS, it'll be the closest other than CameraJB+, which is a paid app

Downloading now. My service is abysmal at work so it's taking a little bit.
EDIT: CameraICS has no icon for the Gallery when taking pictures. The pictures that are taken don't get saved to SD card. Trying to attach a picture to a message with it crashes CameraICS, instead of crashing Gallery as with the stock JB camera.

You might try re- downloading your ROM and re-flashing with a complete wipe

I believe this has persisted past a couple of ROM installs but I will install AOKP JB B4 when I get home tonight and see what happens.
Will update in ~3-4 hours when I get home and have time to do this. Maybe corrupted GAPPS? Is that the package with Camera / Gallery in it?

Depends on the Gapps package. Some have the Google built Gallery/Camera (with Picasa sync) others leave the source built version which has extra features such as using the power button for the shutter (but no Picasa sync).

Just finished flashing GAPPS and AOKP JB B4 from here:
http://aokp.co/index.php/releases/_/jb-build-4-r32
Verified the MD5 of both before flashing. And the same exact problem is persisting. Gallery crashes when attaching through MMS and camera photos end up lost in the ether, never saved to SD card.

This happened to me when I first rooted my Nexus. The camera toke the pics, but they weren't saved... plus some other weird things.
It ended being a file/folder permissions issue. It seems I did a nandroid backup restoration in a wrong way (I wanted to restore my previous data, after the mandatory wipe out of the rooting method).
Anyways... The post that gave me tips for the fix was this one (from user cmstlist):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26967620&postcount=7
Sometimes the file ownerships get messed up after a cycle of recovering the OS and restoring files.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...1515291&page=2
If you have any other directories/files that you can't modify or delete, then boot into CWM recovery, plug in the USB cable, go into adb shell. Also make sure that /data is mounted in the CWM mounts menu. Then:
cd /data/media
chown -R media_rw.media_rw *
This fixed it for me and others.

This will require installing Samsung USB drivers along with the SDK will it not?

Drivers. You can get the platform tools without setting up the SDK attached to the OP here

Whenever I go to "choose driver to install" windows says that it has determined that it has installed the best drivers already...

Cyanogenmod help

I've looked through the forums for hours now and according to the noob video made by xda. I'm asking for help. I have an at&t Samsung galaxy s3 with the CyanogenMod installed (as the title implies) and to be honest its not worth the hastle. I'm having problems left and right. First off, the camera app that comes with the phone is missing. Or if theres a custom one. Its not included. I'm aware that I can find and install an external apk but I'll get to the problem with that in a bit. I followed very detailed instructions on installing the cyanogenmod and gapps and everything was fine (stable version) but the notifications suggested I update the mod so I did. Now I have the camera but my play store will not work. It opens for a split second then closes. Also, the file manager is gone. So I downloaded multiple file managers and it seems after first use that they can no longer open anything. I can't even access the files. I checked the superuser allowed and disallowed apps and everything seems fine. Now with the apk problem. Almost any apk I download will not install on my phone. Sorry for the erratic problems just jumbled everywhere in this post but I'm using my phone to write this so its a bit difficult to organize. Any feedback would greatly be appreciated. A link to a post already like this (which I couldn't find) or a link to a tutorial maybe or troubleshooting these problems. I will delete this post as soon as I find a solution so I don't use up space on the forums with a somewhat personal problem. Thanks in advance!

Go in application settings and delete your play store's data/cache. That should fix it.
Without it, it's kinda hard to install apps unless you sideload. If you do sideload, you need to allow it in your settings (security I believe).

if you're using the stable version of CM
you might have to go to Date & Time setting
and fix the date on there in order to make play store works
and everything you say about camera, it is weird indeed because not only CM, every rom out there should include a camera app
if that problem still exists for you, you might want to clean/wipe everything, from cache to system and then flash the rom again

Thank you guys. I tried wiping the cache and it still didn't work. I don't mind side loading which is what I've been doing but its not ideal. I can only search for the exact app(s) I want rather than exploring via play store. Also, you guys didn't mention the problem with the file managers not working after first try. If you have any feedback it'd be great. I would like to keep the cyanogenmod but its just not worth the time and effort (opinion). If I can't fix the problem or find a solution I'll just go back to my phones stock UI because even though I think flashing ROMs is awesome. It really isn't worth frustrating myself with something that's an option and not a necessity. Thanks in advance for feedback.

the file manager part is really weird.
if you clean install, especially the stable version, everything should works just fine
however, it sounds like bad install though
how about this this
Download Titanium Backup and wipe data + cache for file manager only and see if it works
if not, try the longer way
download stock att rom(4.1.1)
go to recovery, wipe everything
go to download mode
flash stock rom with odin
restart to recovery, wipe dalvik and cache
root the phone
Re-Download CM10 stable
go to recovery, wipe everything, including System
flash cm10
reboot and see if everything works

Yeah I've tried a factory reset. It only deleted my user data not really resetting the phone. Thank you pcchano (sorry if I got name wrong) I'll try and erase everything and reinstall from scratch but its not my first time using custom ROMs so I'm sure I did it right but I'll give it a go. Also, someone told me that I need to completely wipe any data associated with Google wallet before I root or else play store will not work. Has anyone tried out this theory or know anything about it? It doesn't make sense to me seeing as wallet is saved server side beside the basic user data stored on the phone. But please let me know. You guys are all very helpful thanks for the feedback.

Also, I've never had to wipe dalvik before? Could that be my problem? I also noticed that when I updated cm the info panel said 'experimental' even though I chose the stable version to start with? Could some of these problems be associated with cm rather than blaming it on my phone? Thanks in advance for any feedback.

i have like 2 s3 using CM10 stable version and no problem with it (other than the play store wouldn't connect due to the date in setting wasn't correct) while I myself am using CM10.1 and other than the bugs that come with CM10.1 or google source code, it is a functional rom
so i would rather say, it is your phone
and you should always wipe dalvik cache along with cache partition before flashing new rom.

OK pcshano thanks very much. I'll just erase everything and start from scratch. Thanks everyone who helped me. This forum and you people are awesome. I'll delete this post as soon as I reinstall the ROM to make sure it worked. Thanks again!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747

The stable cm is of the 10 variety. The experimental builds are 10.1 if I'm not mistaken. In which case you should only need to flash the appropriate gapps package to get the play store functioning and camera as well. The file manager issue I don't know beyond the external sd card being a bit sketchy on 4.2 builds. Are you using an external sd card? Start with a fresh flash of 10.1 if you want to go with that, flash a 4.2 gapps zip and see what happens from there.

Unfortunately..everything stopped working

Hi
I was prepping my Galaxy Nexus Android 4.2.2 GSM to be flash with it's first custom rom.
I rooted it while ago, and I've been flashing Rom since my Nexus One, but this is the first time I had my phone with particular issue.
I wiped dalvik and did a backup of the phone via CWM 6.x recovery, after rebooting the phone, nothing worked. I've had literally ALL my apps crash.
Crash with "Unfortunately XXXXXX" has stopped working with everything from the Google Play Store to my Rom Manager.
Any assistance with be appreciated.

Restore your backup from before the issues happened.

Oh will do, but any particular reason why it crashed?
EDIT: Found out the reason, my internal memory was full. Like 0.00kb left.
Deleted 20 apps, and some photos helped.

Not enough storage when updating apps

Hi all,
I have a rooted phone and constantly keep storage and performance best I can using a number of apps like SD Maid, Rom toolbox, etc.
My problem is that while it is clear that that all storage from phone to external SD card have plenty of free space, I'm running into a problem when attempting to update larger apps such as games from the play store. They fail do to insufficient space.
Any suggestions as to the cause? The only info I can provide related to cause is that this seems to happen after I take HD videos with camera. However, those videos do indeed reside on external memory card which obviously has plenty of space just like both other storage options.
Any help is appreciated.

Anyone have ideas as to cause? This is actually getting worse. Thanks

Happened to an older phone of mine. Basically had to to a complete wipe and format of the system and Sdcard. Sometime theres toms of left over junk from old apps. Backup you data before you attempt .

If you look in /data/app and /data/app-lib you'll find duplicates there (app-1 and app-2).
What i do is delete both in both folders, then reboot into recovery, wipe cache/dalvik, then boot the phone up. That should solve the issue.

Hi,
Thank you much for response. Yes, you are right and this was one of two things I found on my own that fixed the issue. However, after it did not fully solve the issue, I finally ended up finding the perfect and easiest solution to this common issue. I ran a popular storage utility app and cleared all corpse files. That instantly solved the problem with every single app with this issue.
With that said, and while I do genuinely appreciate every reponse from this forum and others, replying by simply stating to backup, wipe/reset all and restore backup rom is honesty far from helpful. I knew that and would not have posted this issue if that was the only solution. Seriously, it is quite frustrating to read such nonsense. There is always a much simpler alternative and proven here. That is why most will post here for advice in the first place.
Anyways,
Thanks again.
