[Q] restoring apps wit titanuim backup pro after moving to ICS - Samsung Captivate Glide

Well my question is quite simple, oes anybody restored apps and wifi seting after migreting from GB to ICS or CM10 with no troubles?I know system apps need to installed again but I got a lot of apps that it will be a pain to reconfigure them one by one again. As I have the pro version I know it offers a migreting tool from difrent roms but as anybody tried that before?

Depends on which app, because, some apps have not been fully updated to support ICS or JB. Most of the time it should be okay.

Can a dev help me add some things to a rom?

I've been running our gingerbread leak for the past couple days, and I was wondering how hard it would be to add a couple things like Google app restore. Any help would be great.

Everyone that haves questions on the sense 4 ics rom please post here to keep the thread clean.

While using FM, if I clicks "Get Info" button my phone would freeze and reboot.
I tried to install latest soundhound 2.9.7(the original version is 2.9.1), but it doesn't help.
Some 3rth party apps need work. Its a matter of time the is still a beta and not everything works.

Its a matter of trimming the rom after they finish developing it. There are important issues now that need work and their going to focus on them first

Is the sound working on your Inspire 4g? I have an inspire 4g as well and am a little worried about flashing the rom and the sound not working
After doing a TB restore and rebooting I unlock the screen and the 'loading' window appears, just gets stuck there and never loads the icons/clock etc.
Coming from sense 3.5, is there something I am restoring that is causing this issue? I just did a batch backup of everything and then the same for restore, usually works but I assume there are some items I shouldn't be restoring and ICS/Sense 4.0 doesn't like them.
Any help on what I should leave out while also getting most of what I need back is appreciated.

It seems you restored some apps which are not compatible with ICS, or at least this beta ROM.
I encountered this issue too and my solution is using market. Just log in with your google account and open market. In "My apps">"ALL" your will find your apps once installed in sense 3.5, however incompatible apps are not in the list.
Just avoid restoring these apps.
I wouldn't have thought a normal app that was incompatible such as Skype or something would be causing the home screen to fail to load. I would think it was one of the system apps I had backed up that was the problem?
I'm quite new to all this and since I rooted I have only gone from a Sense 3.5 ROM to another Sense 3.5 one which will be why I've had no issues in the past.
Despite OP being a "O U SHUD JUS READ N NOT RITE" twat, I'll ask here anyway.
How do I get the extra dropbox space? I searched "dropbox" in the original thread and couldn't find an answer.
The dropbox issue has work for some and some not. I READ that unlĂ­nking and linking back with the primo rom works. Try it and reply!
Also from coming from. Sense 3.5 i recomend that you backup the apps only. I did a data backup and it worked but the best is to restore the apps alone

I am having an issue with the market on my Inspire with some purchased apps. For example the MLB At Bat 12 app which I purchased and downloaded in LC's Ice Cold Sandwhich does not show up on the list for any Sense 3.6 or 4.0 roms. Since it is a copy protected app I have had no success restoring it in titanium backup. On 3.6 my about phone says I have a Sensation XL. I don't recall if the primo roms(I have tried them all) say I am a DHD or a One V...Any suggestions on how to get the market to know I have an At&t Inspire?
Thank You.

Try an unlimited version of the market I found it on apktop. This wont give free apps but will let you find apps for all regions. And it fixed issues with my market

Titanium Backup alternative? (compatible with JellyBean)

Well, I'm mad that I shelled out the almost $7 (for an app?! come on what happened to $0.99 apps.....) for Titanium Backup, only to find out that apparently it doesn't work on Jelly Bean. And of course by the time the backup was done and my phone was wiped, it was too late for a refund.
So, do I have an alternative to restore my apps / data in JB?
Titanium works fine for me with JB.
Restore of user apps and data works fine for me as well in JRN84D.
Titanium backup works ok, apart from uninstalling/restoring system apps/data.
You have to give the dev abit of time. As jelly bean has only just been released officially. He will fix it soon.

working great here

it's not working for restoring/removing system apps on JB. but yeah, give him some time to get it working. he'll get it. probably with the next update
It has been working flawlessly for me on JB. You have to keep in mind that some applications or their app data may not be compatible with JB, but that isn't the fault of Titanium Backup.
As above for me also, backup & restore works great and system app uninstall crashes the app.
You do realise there is a free version to test it out though, right? The only reason (for me) the donate version is worth it, apart from supporting the dev, is google drive\dropbox sync.
Like others have said, TI works fine.
Failing that...try ROM control.
When I flashed JB, the first thing I did after setup was get titanium from the play store, and restore all my user apps+ data. That worked flawlessly. As of yet, I haven't tried a backup.

Question about downloading apps from the market...

Anyone else having problems downloading certain apps from the play store? The error that appears where the install button would be says "this app isn't compatible with your device ".....anyone know anything about that and/or a possible solution for this problem? Its happening with apps that I have used before.

Did you change your dpi?
sent from MY BAD A$$ ET4G
What app and rom? Some custom roms have apps bundled that are bot officially compatible with the pgone. Also the dpi thing as mentioned.
I'm currently running kingkang 3.2 and dpi is all set for 240 or higher. Is there a work around for this?
The app that I was trying to update was Google now...and its happening with apps like dolphin browser and mint.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Im actually having the same issue on ParanoidAndroid.
I'm having similar issue on Universe ics rom.
nandroid just in case. then make sure dpi is set correctly. on pa backup current settings and reset all back to original. reboot. then clear data on market and uninstall Play updates. reboot. try play store again. on pa you xan then restore your dpi backup and reboot again.

[Q] new launcher

I have a rooted SGH-I317, no new Rom's, from what I understand (friend rooted it for me). I installed nova launcher and was wondering if I even need to keep the TW launcher? If I don't need to keep it, how do I remove it? And can I use titanium backup to delete all these stupid AT&T apps?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
I would keep the launcher, just in case something breaks in Nova you have a backup (it has happened), and yes you can use TB to remove all the AT&T bloat.

Will removing those AT&T apps mess anything up?

If you are talking ONLY about AT&T apps, then you shouldn't have any issues. Samsung apps may cause issues when uninstalled.

Launcher connections.
Before doing any of this search youtube videos to see what features the note 2 has so you know what to test. Also many tutorials on how to switch things.
Launchers skinned by the manufacturer usually have something attached to them. You have have the Note 2 Which has the SPen. Many of these features may not work in the new launcher. Although they may still work in an application. Also some widgets may not work if designed for TW.
Make a nandroid back up. Install your new launcher and make it your default. Test all features that you can use. If any features have disappeared you have to decide if they are worth losing. You can then back up TW with titanium back up, and then uninstall TW. Test again. If anything has changed then re-install TW.
If anything does not act right after reinstalling then restore through TWRP or your custom recovery that you did nandroid with.
I tend to like custom ROMS based on stock. Such as SKYNOTE or JEDI X (They have already removed most of the AT&T or Samsungs apps that most do not need or want). Just make sure they are intended for you phone. Take small steps. And read everything you can.
If you decide to remove anything with Titanium backup. If the app is part of the system it will give you a warning that may cause device to malfunction. if you say yes. (and you did not already back up the app) it will again ask you yes or no do you want to unistall. If removing this app causes your launcher to crash, you may not be able to install through titanium back up, this is why you always need a nandroid back up.
Enjoy!

I removed my touchwiz launcher.. never used it and never had any problems after removing it. Believe it was called Touchwiz Home or something like that and I just used Root App Delete.
