Hi,
I recently updated my Hercules T989 to Jellybean 4.1.2 via Kies. When I was on ICS, I could easily uninstall the t-mobile stock apps(or any other stock apps) using Titanium Backup Pro. But after upgrading to JB 4.1.2, I cant uninstall a single stock app. I tried updating Titanium backup pro from 4.1 to 4.5.6 but its still the same. It can freeze the apps but one app: 't-mobile accounts' unfreezes itself. I dont know how it happens. By the way, the device is rooted.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I checked. The chuck Norris mode is on. I froze all the stock Bloatware using titanium backup. But this one app: 'T-mobile My Accounts' unfreezes itself. Still can't find any help, anywhere.

Did u do it in jellybean 4.1.2? As I said earlier, I could successfully uninstall/freeze all those stock apps using TB earlier when my phone was on ICS. This problem arose after I upgraded my firmware.

Are you sure Titanium Backup has root permissions? Check your Superuser app log and make sure they're being granted. You need root access for Titanium Backup to be able to remove/freeze system apps (like the built-in stuff).

Yes, I have rooted my phone after I upgraded the firmware through kies. I checked my root status using the app 'Root Checker Basic'. It says my phone as proper root access.

Yes, I have checked it. TB has been granted root permissions. TB successfully freezes all my system apps. But only one app - "T-Mobile My Accounts" unfreezes itself automatically after a while. I dont know how or why that happens. All my other system apps stay frozen except that one single app. And about uninstalling, none of the system apps can be uninstalled. When I run the batch operation to uninstall, it shows the progress bar but gets stuck at 0%. No progress at all.

TB freezes all my stock apps. but as I mentioned earlier, one app - "T-Mobile My accounts" unfreezes itself after a while. And when I try uninstalling any stock apps, it just gets stuck. The progress bar doesnt move (show any progress). I am attaching a link to a screenshot about what happens.

PS. : As other members suggested, I have checked everything. The Chuck Norris mode is on. TB has root permissions. Everything seems to be in order.

Sounds like you are using a stock based ROM then. So you will have to live with that app. Otherwise you may cause problems by trying to delete or freeze it. Anybody that is determined to remove it, you can use a root based file explorer and delete the apk from the system/app folder. Backup the app somewhere by copying & pasting it in another folder, so you can replace it later if you start experiencing issues.
hello guys,
by mistakenly I moved my titanium backup pro as system app,
now when I try to move it back to sd card, its not moving..
it says unable to download

Hey guys. So I was in terminal deleting the stock apps that I don't need to have and one of those apps which I deleted was the stock messaging app, I did this because I was using hancent. Well now I am not receiving any pictures.
- It all started after I deleted the stock app, I am not sure if it started immediately after or a while after
- I was using handcent and I noticed that I was getting the pop up received thing and the quick reply option but in the actual handcent app under each conversation the incoming message was not there.
Are there any suggestions to fix this or knowledge about this topic? Do you need to have the stock messaging app in order to have other messaging apps work? I can send pictures and texts; i can receive texts but not pictures...
You need the stock app. The 3rd party apps just piggyback off it.

Hope you got it fixed. That's hard one to pick which forum it goes in lol either here or the Q/A.

Hello friends!
I have a SGSL XXKPH Rooted & Deodexed. I am using Titanium Backup Pro for managing my softwares and backup. Problem is that whenever I try to remove any stock software through Titanium Backup Pro, it does remove the software but my phone automatically restarts after that. This wasnt happening before I Deodexed my phone. I ever tried other softwares like Nitrality but the same problem persists.
Can you please help me with this problem? I dont think the phone should restart automatically if I remove a stock software. Is this normal after Dedoxing or is there a problem?
Thank you.

I am using paid Titanium backup pro and have used the free version also. I can confirm that removing any system apps DOES NOT restart the phone. Better remove Titanium itself, reboot and reinstall from market so as to have latest version.
Do as above said
And also check whether you have activated usb debugging mode?

Titanium backup installed his own busybox so it has not to depend upon device busybox.
I have once this problem when i flashed skin beta cf root kernel.
But it's long time ago with beta kernel testing.
Please tell how you root your device.

try to use
1. SGS tools: go to "Cleanup System App". It can make backup of removed applications
2. nitrality: go to "Applications" and uncheck unneeded applications
Both of them are free and can be found at the market
Either use TB to convert app to user app then delete, or, easier if you use sgs chlorine to delete lots of apps at the same time

I change my ROM a lot and use TB Pro. With some ROM`s after doing a backup or restore my phone restarts.
I have been flashing roms & kernels for the past few years so I don't think I am a "noob". I am in no means a "know it all" either. I have been using Titanium Backup Pro to backup everything before flashing roms. It's great, but I still end up taking 20 minutes to restore everything back to normal. I have seen other posts about the correct way to backup/restore, but I never get a straight answer on the easiest/correct way. Do I let the market redownload my apps or do I let Titanium? Restore user data, system data? I hear about others restoring everything back to normal like email, texts, passwords etc. Please help.... Thanks

Restoring user downloaded apps is fine, but restoring system data always monkeys everything up.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App
I've always restored user apps through titanium, but as the guy above me stated hold off on the data. If need be, the apps where you really need the data do them one by one so you know which one fudges up your system, if any do.
Once I know I'm going to switch roms, I always back all user apps up, then after I load the rom I want, I go ahead and run titanium before the market loads anything. It just takes to long for the market to redownload everything, in most instances.

If you want.. you can look into Mybackup root/pro. I always use that to backup my data and apps. It's very straight forward. You can choose DATA and backup sms, mms, android home, settings, playlists etc... then use APP to backup APPS, or APPS +DATA. check it out.. but remember after each backup or restore, restart for best results.

How do you get ti backup on your phone after a new rom is installed, but without accessing the market? most roms dont come with it preinstalled.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App
Most the time I go to the market and dl it... There were a few devs that did have it in the rom when I had my g2.
Just read that you posted without going to the market. When you buy the pro, its always for dl in the market, just the serial though. So you have to redownload the free version through the market. Don't think there is another way, that I know of.

I will add, that mybackup is pretty cool. I'm not even rooted with a mytouch4gslide and you can still backup everything. With titanium, you have to be rooted.

While I am a large fan of Titanium, I would have to think that not being rooted would restrict it's functionality quite a bit. Anyone care to comment?

There is an option in Titanium Backup to create a Flashable Zip that you can install within Recovery. In Titanium Backup, Press MENU, then press MORE and it'll be on that list.

Im guessing we should choose the edify scripting method. would you apply the .zip in the same manner as flashing a rom? via the "install zip from sd card" option?

Sweet. from now on i can be stingier with my data usage.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App
This is the best way I restore after a wipe:
1. TI Pro for batch USER apps and data only -- do not use batch on system files
2. TI Pro for these system files: bookmarks, user dictionary, and wi-fi access points, only. I only use the "DATA Only" option in Ti Pro for these files.
3. I use from market, Call logs Backup & Restore to get my call logs back.
4. I always do a nandroid before flashing a new rom, and then use AppExtractor (free from market) to go to my nandroid to restore my SMS and MMSs. This works better than using TI Pro for sms and mms restore.
It sounds more complicated than it is. It actually is quite simple. I would simply stay away from using Ti Pro for restoring any system files if you can.

I bought Rom Toolbox because i read u can backup and restore apps without problems but thats not the case with me. I backup all the apps fine then i would go on to flash xROM now i wanna restore the apps.. but when i do it always hangs on a random app every time. I can restore each app individually but never batch restore...also for some reason it wont restore data like my dolphin browser i have some bookmarks and stuff n i restored with rom toolbox and it restored the app but not the bookmark n stuff i had on there. Does this mean im doing something wrong? Or is there an option i need to turn on.
Nope, I had that very issue. My guess its a app bug that they haven't fixed yet

I occasionally have that problem with titanium backup with a random app, but never any issues with Rom toolbox..
Ok could having both tb and rom toolbox be the cause? Or should i try an older version? If so which one?
Ok i found out Rom Toolbox backs up my app but not the data. Now when i batch backup data for some reason it hangs at a random app... also when i wanna batch restore app + data it hangs also. If i try to restore a single app it does that fine but it won't restore the data with it. If i try to restore the app with data it just hangs... so I'm not sure what's the problem.. tib does not have this problem but i heard its not good to restore data on ics with tib. Anyone else experience this?

go to titanium back up...when you back up apps...it asks you...app only...or app + data... and it does the same thing will hang up on a random app...
Just did it and it did not hang unlike rom toolbox which hangs everytime.
I had to go into system settings -> Applications -> Development and check "USB debugging". Rom Toolbox wasn't restore apps before, but is now restoring them after I checked this option. The description that pops up when you check it says it allows apps to be installed without the users knowledge.
Rom Toolbox uses silent restore in it's batch mode so you don't have to tap "install" and "done" for each app that's restored, so USB debugging is important.

I had the same problem, and USB debuggig worked for me, so thanks! Great advice!
Also, I'm on a Cyanogen based rom and I had to disable "verify ADB installed apps" to get it working...
I was restoring the apps with titanium. and i have to click install on every app, because I am using the free version of it.
During this process I press the home button and under notification I see the titanium restore is in process but looks like its stuck. I think its at the stage where it ask for the prompt and wait until you click on "install" button.
Is there anyway that allow me to bring that button to front using "bringToFront" app or some command that I can run in terminal?
I don't want to reboot the phone and start over again.
Anyone?

buy the pro version it will make your life easier dude!! and well yea that used to happen to me too and for some reason i bought the pro version and since it does it by itself i guess that solved the problem but since then i havent had any troubles with it...
Apps can get stuck sometimes when restoring. Best thing to do is kill/stop the process & manually install the stuck app. Worst case is try to install app w/o the data or you can reinstall via Play Store.
