I am curious - and have noted this issue on my Evo as well as the SIII: why is it that when I restore a backup, files I have added between the date of the backup and the restore of same don't always appear in the applications that should access them?
I can see the files from EStrongs File Explorer but not from Gallery (for images) or music from a player...
TIA

ok, i had two evo's and ran titanium backup on both of them...had different apps etc on each and want to put all apps on one phone. is there any way to combine the folders so all apps are backed up in one place?? is it as simple as copying all contents of one folder to the other folder (i.e. TitaniumBackup folder) thanks for any tips ...i couldn't seem to find this on any of the titanium backup sites (legendroid, modaco etc.)
I got a new Galaxy Nexus GSM.
Shortly after turning it on, it upgraded OTA to JellyBean.
Then, I rooted it.
Installed Titanium Backup.
I copied the TB backup made on my rooted Nexus One running CM7, I just want to restore some regular user apps.
But cannot no matter what I try.
If I copy the Nexus One backups via USB to the Galaxy, there is no restore option for the uninstalled apps in TB. And if I try to verify the backup, TB reports an error. (It doesn't say what the error is, just that there is one.) Of course, the backup and verify on the Nexus One for the same backup is just fine. The MD5 has on the file on the GN (as shown by Root Explorer) matches the MD5 on original backup file on the Nexus One.
If I copy via dropbox, the file shows up in root explorer but it doesn't show up in TB.
I'm getting super frustrated and feel like an idiot.
I can install apps from Google Play, but I paid for TB Pro, and it just doesn't seem to be able to do this.
Also, I hate MTP and lack of SD card in the GN. I might just return the phone it is driving me crazy.
I copied files to the GN yesterday from my computer. I DELETED THE FILES. The files do not show up in Root Explorer on the phone, or when doing ls with ADB, but when use Windows Explorer to look at the GN, the files appear to be there! They really aren't there, because any file operation on it fails (with no error), except for properties - it shows the properties of the non-existent file! What is up with this?
move like that: copy nexus one tb folder to your pc. open it and browse only for .apk files, don't take other file in the backup. put all .apk file in a separate folder. select all and extract all file in a folder (because titanium make compressed apk file, from my experience). put new folder with .apk extracted file into your pbone and with explorer app like ES file explorer install each one. i advise this way because if you restore a tbackup into a phone from another, or from another android os version, you have to restore only app without data. so this is the same way without auto restore for each app function of titanium backup.
i hope this help

Hi there,
Just wanted to show how I switch ROMs using free apps. I am not responsible for any data loss. This is just my method and it is nothing new for many.
My focus is to backup Launcher settings, sms and contacts and apps+ their data.
I use these programs:
Es File explorer
Efficient backup
Appextrator( alternative 2)
Backdrop (alternative 3)
Superbackup (just in case)
Let's start.
My main method. First rule. Always do a nandroid backup before you install a new rom.
Then:
1) Backup Apps+data using Efficient backup. I don't backup system apps to avoid strange errors.
2) sms and contacts. copy in sdcard the folders /data/providers/contacts and /data/providers/telephony. Also export contacts as vcf file just in case.
3) install new rom. Install es file manager and Efficient backup. Restore apps+data using Efficient Backup.
4) Copy from previous backup in sdcard, the contacts and sms using Es file manager in this way:
copy all files from /sdcard/ data/providers/contacts/databases
To
/data/providers/contacts/databases and confirm.
Plus copy all files from /sdcard/data/providers/telephony/databases
To
/data/providers/telephony/databases and confirm.
Then reboot.
As launcher I use Apex and its backup feature.
To be continued...
You could just use MyBackup Root and do all of the above (minus the launcher settings.)
TiBu and Google Sync FTW!

I rooted my GN this morning, installed CM10.1, did a titanium backup, and then when I tried to copy the backup folder over to my computer, I couldn't find the titanium backup folder in windows explorer. I know that the folder should be in the root folder, but it is simply not showing up. I copied the titanium backup folder into the DCIM folder (on my device), and I was able to transfer that copy to my device, but I want to be able to see the original Titanium backup folder. Yes, hidden files/folders are enabled. Any advice?
Reboot device and try again. The device needs to do a media rescan to appear on your computer. It's happened to me lots of times before. Or use a media rescanning app. Look on Play Store.

try renaming the folder to something else like Titanium Backup instead of TitaniumBackup
Simple, You kill the batman.
on another note, you need to use adb to pull it, or use NexusToolkit to pull files from it, then TitaniumBackup, location would be /sdcard/ and it will pull the contents of the folder. this is much more reliable as copying and pasting corrupts data.
Are you on the latest recoveries like twrp? If you are on an older one, when you flashed the cm10.1 the files stay on "/data/media" while your new sd location is "/data/media/0" try check there with a root browser or such..
Please post questions in Q&A

I accidentally uninstalled the default Samsung Gallery app using Titanium Backup. I had a backup, but the backup failed to restore using titanium backup.
I also tried to re-add the contents to the Systems/App directory using root explorer, but that failed too. I think the folder was supposed to be called ScGallery2015 or something..? Can someone check their Systems/App directory and see what the folder is called and what it should have? If you could even send me those files that would be great. :crying:
Any help is appreciated.

Can someone upload the SecGallery2015 contents? Including with whatever is inside the Arm64 folder.
