Couldn't find much on this issue...
Just installed the ROM in my sig. I was trying to restore an app for testing without data. I copied the Titanium Backup folder from my SGSII. YouTube wouldn't restore so I tried another single app and Titanium Backup gets stuck on Restoring App. I tried with and without data and it fails for any app I try. Rebooted, no go. Unknown Sources is checked. I have never seen this across all my android devices. ANY IDEAS MAY VERY WELL PREVENT ME FROM THROWING SOMETHING. Thanks and that it's all.
EDIT:
So after some troubleshooting I tried setting the App Processing Mode to "AUTO, Indirect." This didn't work. If I use "INTERACTIVE," it works. I just have to restore them one-by-one.

I seem to have the same problem but cannot find the "App Processing Mode" in the preferences. Where exactly is it? I use the free version.

I just ran into this, trying to restore my backup of the Chrome system app. It got stuck forever. You have to go MENU -> Preferences, scroll all the way down to find "Troubleshooting Settings" -> App Processing Mode -> and then pick "AUTO, Indirect" or "INTERACTIVE".
For me "AUTO, Indirect" is what worked.
Backup/Restore Apps using Titanium
Most custom ROMs will require you to do a wipe data/factory reset, which will erase all of your settings and apps. By using apps like Titanium backup app, you can easily backup and restore your apps. Even better, if you get a new Android phone, you can use this app to transfer all of your current apps with data to your new phone.
Seems to be solvable by updating SU binaries, using the SuperSU app.
Install SuperSu, Run it, it'll ask you to update binaries, accept, restart, then if root is broken go to SuperSu, go to Settings, and choose "Switch Superuser App", restart again - and boom, it should all work fine.
Titanium Backup
When restoring batch files on the titanium back up observe in what part the restoration stop more or less that app have an issue on the files being restored.
Also you should ensure that you still have available internal memory while doing the restore since app restoration on titanium backup directly go to the internal memory.
USB debugging
Try enabling USB debugging. Worked for me.
I have the same thing happening to me. The popup window just says "Restoring App" and the chaser keeps circling. I have the Pro key for TB installed. I have Super installed. I have changed the preferences as suggested in this thread. I think it's a whole lot easier to reflash the entire ROM and redo all your settings and preferences.
check super su setting
you would want to go to super su and then settings and then uncheck unmount separation box then restart then try and restore.... worked for me.
Should be second last from the bottom

Thanks for the tip mate, a few botched flashes and Kinguser installs later and that tip definitely made my day! Titanium Backup worked fine with Kinguser, but for some strange reason it didn't seem to budge with SuperSU. Turns out I had to unckeck that option.

thanks man, after spending a lifetime i tried your tip and worked for me :good::good:
Having trouble restoring both Boost Zone and Visual Voicemail backups. Both preinstalled system apps that I did full TB backups of for their latest versions. Tried all 3 restore options, the SuperSU settings, and also attempted to install a few .apk's I found, to no avail. (got "out of memory/space" error msg on both apk's) Sigh.... Really just need my VVM app back. Not perfect, but convenient.
I'm having problem with titanium bkp. I had backup all my apps with data on 5.1.1 and flashed 6.0.1 rom. Now titanium bkp doesn't detect my bkp.
Tried many things like
copy bkp files to internal,
just made an app bkp and copy my bkp files to that folder etc.
still my TB doesn't detect my old bkp

I think i have properly rooted my device (incredible) but I am definitly a noob. I have rooted and have loaded the unresolved2 flash tool. for some reason I am having trouble getting titanium to find my apps. I am wondering if I am properly rooted. The reason why I think this is because when I use connectbot "whoami" comes up as not found under su - local. Can anyone help?
when you say titanium cant find your apps what is it doing thats giving you that sign? when you first installed it on your phone did you click problems and let it download the new busybox for it?
Try clicking on the problems tab and install that busybox that's what mine did and now i have 0 problems(knock on wood)

also, make sure you are not plugged in to USB when trying to use Titanium back up. I was plugged in at first and it wasnt working correctly until I unplugged and restarted Titanium over again.

It backs up way to quick from what Ive heard. Also in Batch Backup/Restore it shows '0' under backup all user apps. I did the busybox at the begining at this is where Im at. I also have rebooted and made sure I wasnt connected. I appreciate the help. Do you have any other suggestions?

ok im not really sure but i could think of a few things for you to check,
1. if you hit menu and then hit filters do you have both "all" selections checked?
2. when you click on backup/restore tab do you see your list of apps, i know this is really basic i am just trying to cover everything
3. on the overview tab i see;
(these first ones might be different depending on if you have the free version or the paid version but the root access one should deff be yes)
root access =>OK (busybox 1.15.3 from app)
hypershell (fast!) => YES
fast/auto app install => YES (using hypershell)
SQlite => YES (sqlite 3.5.9 included)
data directory: /data
external storage: /sdcard (ok)
backup directory: /sdcard/titaniumbackup
is this what you see?
also do you have the superuser app installed, and did you allow titanium backup access when you first installed it?
Mine looks exactly like that. Something I just noticed in super user permissions there was nothing in there for titanium backup.

I uninstalled all Apps after backing up with Titanium backup. Now when I run TB to restore, it doesn't restore anything. I checked the SD card, folder is there with all the apps.
Thanks

Howzit,
You need to go to:
Settings -> Applications. Then make sure, 'Unknown sources' has been enabled.
Then try TB restore again.

Just to clarify, I already had this setting enabled, and it still wouldn't work until I upgraded. However, since then I have used it to restore 5 times, and it worked perfectly everytime! HTH
i restored just fine with the free one. it just made me verify each installation. 'install', wait, 'done', install, wait, 'done' etc etc
on the paid one now though

I fixed it. Go to preferences, app processing mode, then change that setting.
i've had this from time to time. no idea why but i had to go to the site and download an older version. that worked fine. also, upgrading that via the market then worked fine. something funky happened i guess (cleared data etc but didn't do any good - only a download worked).
I am guilty of a the crime of trying something without researching it for a change.
Yesterday, I moved all of my "user apps" to the sd card using the batch method in the application Titanium Backup. Everything worked fine until I rebooted, upon which all of my applications no longer appeared in my market under "downloads" or my app drawer. It also wouldn't let me reinstall them. Titanium backup won't install, so there I can't use the app to fix it.
Any suggestions?
Have you tried pushing the Titanium Backup apk to /system/app? If your apps on /data are screwed, you might be able to get to TB that way. (You can get the apk here if you need it.)

It only has seven apps there.
I think the problem may be that the apps are caught in a bad partition limbo.
Titanium backup's developer told me that once you get over 123 (weird) apps on your sd card and reboot this happens pretty uniformly.
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?

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)

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'm fairly new to the whole root/S-OFF/custom ROM world.
After flashing cmlusco's Touch of Blue ROM, I realized that it did not include Verizon's Backup Assistant. Makes complete sense to not include it, however, I found myself in a situation where I briefly needed it. No problem - I just flashed the Backup Assistant apk through recovery and was able to successfully use it.
Now I want to get rid of it. What is the recommended method for completely removing Backup Assistant? What is the safest method for removing it?
I appreciate any assistance/advice
Use a program like "Titanium Backup" to uninstall the Verizon app. It's free in the play store. Once downloaded, press:
1) Menu button
2) select Filter
3) then check "All apps" under filter status
4) check "User" under filter type
5) click Apply then find and uninstall the Verizon app.
Titanium Backup is very useful if you want to uninstall System apps or regular apps since it is a root app. Just be careful what you uninstall cuz you can uninstall virtually anything (widgets, apps, apk's) using this app.
Or you can just use a root file explorer to navigate to /system/app and delete or rename the VzWBAClient.apk, VzWBAService.apk, VzwLBSPerm.apk, and VZWInstaller.apk. Then reboot and it will be gone.

This is what I ended up doing - thanks for the info.
I was originally going to use Titanium to accomplish this, but it gave a warning that important system files could also be deleted. Given that I've backed everything up, I assume that there wouldn't be any real issues even if Titanium did delete something critical.
Which brings up another question: is Titanium doing the same thing as manually deleting the 4 files listed above? I suppose I could test this by reinstalling Backup Assistant, using Titanium to uninstall, and looking to see what is left...

Basicly yes its doing the same thing just automating it for you. If you delete with titanium the files get deleted, if you freeze with titanium the files are either renamed or moved.
