Hey, first I want to ask if its just me, rom related or a common issue.
Using slim rom. I restored apps via tib and all is fine except swiftkey that informed me about failed download of language pack which should be backed up tho..since in 4.2.2 i havnt any problem once. So it asked me to redownload it but my personal data pack was gone so I tried to restore only data and suddenly swiftkey stopped working. Like completely spammed me with ''stopped working'' until I deleted it.
Then all apps were crashing also. Couldnt even reboot. Did it twice with same effect.
Tbh my question is does swiftkey work after restore for anyone?

SwiftKey has been having server issues with language pack downloads for a few days.

I think its a titanium backup issue, i noticed some apps cause titanium to hang during restore when trying to restore user apps on CM10.2, nexus update checker app will just hang tibu in an instant an ruin the whole restore process.

Title says it all. Since formatting my phone as ext4 and flashing CyanogenMod 7.2, no browsers - the preinstalled Browser or Opera Mobile - will work. Browser just FCs when it reaches somewhere around 90%, while Opera Mobile won't load past the splash page (it doesn't make it to the speed dial).
Oddly enough, however, Opera Mini works fine, albeit a little slowly.
On another note, I've also been having permission issues while installing Adobe Flash, whereas before using CM I had no problems.
Might the two issues be related?

Try fixing permissions from CWM

Great, now the browsers work fine, though I had to reinstall my apps because they were force closing.
But now my home button doesn't work - at all - and my lockscreen seems to have vanished; it's not on Quick Unlock, not even CM Settings seems to realize it's not there anymore.

You may backup and do a clean install, download again to ensure theres nothing wrong, and look if its fixed

Well, nuts. I was hoping not to have to do that, but okay.
By the way, this may sound silly, but how, exactly, do you do a back up? I'm guessing you need an application like Titanium Backup? (And if that's exactly what I need, do I need the premium version?)

You can use titanium backup, but I recommend nandroid backup from recovery, however you can restore the full rom, settings etc, but cant restore apps only or something.. So you can use both

This is just getting stupid.
I backed up my apps+data with Titanium Backup, then the whole system with NANDroid. I suspected the latter wouldn't do anything useful, as it saves an image of the current state of the system, so if I was having trouble, what good would it do? But I restored via Recovery anyway, and, as I thought, it didn't change a thing.
So then I wiped everything all over again (and even reformatted with ext4-formatter.zip) including the two caches, reinstalled CM 7.2, applied the patch (which I didn't do before and is for the previous version of the ROM) and restored everything with Titanium Backup. It advised me to reboot, because Android thought there was little space left, and so I did.
Before I go any farther, let me just say that I restored ALL apps+data, not just the ones that were missing.
Moving on...
After the reboot, everything seemed fine (except I had to generate a new password for my Google account, as I use 2-step verification, but it makes sense as some of the apps didn't match up with the previous password).
But then, as I was changing some permissions for Adobe Flash player in Root Explorer, I noticed the home button had stopped working again. Before restoring, everything - and I mean everything - worked perfectly. So it's not CyanogenMod causing the problem, but an app or its data.
I will not vent my frustration here, but it looks like I'll have to start from scratch - for what seems like the 5th time now since getting into custom ROMs, which was only a few weeks ago - and reinstall all my apps. Including the Google ones, as apparently Market decides to let you choose which GApps to install for yourself (which is both a blessing - less bloat - and a curse - takes a lot longer).
Is there anything at all I can do to minimize the amount of time this is going to take?
Well, I've never heard of it before, so there is a problem causing this, on your phone.
I would suggest to go back to stock, do a fresh install, and think ablut apps that may be not able to trust its permissions...
It can be some sort of malware, but also just somethimg wrong flashed in /system

Actually there's nothing wrong with my phone. I suspect that some data for a particular app was corrupted, but after yet another fresh install, everything works perfectly fine. I backed up everything with Titanium Backup so if anything goes wrong again I can restore from backups that I know work.
Thanks for the help.

Hey guys,
i really want to try out ICS but somehow Titanium Backup always freezws after a few apps while backing them up
What can I do now?
If it works for you, what version of Titanium Backup are you using?
Or is there another app that does the same (with market links)?
Thanks
Regards,
Flo

I use myphoneexplorer to make a backup of all my .apk files on my PC(also contacts, sms, notes, alarms)
I've had a recent upgrade of tb(4.9.0.2), but it didn't hugely improve the backup/restore ability on the recent ics releases. Works fine on the beta based roms, and cm9. Try app backup.
Does it always freeze into one specific app? Happens to me pretty often, you just have to exclude that app.
If that's not the case, try My Backup Pro. It is paid app.
titanium backup are so slow in ICS
and like to stuck in the middle
i'm back to GB.....
Used my MyBackup Root to back my stuff up.
But upgrading to ICS worked fine even without a wipe

Happened to me where I tried to freeze app and TB just froze.
Try reboot after installing TB.
Not entirely sure but could have something to do with busybox??? Please correct me if I'm wrong, but you can try update busybox if it doesn't work.
My Titanium Backup work normal on my ICS beta + office.
For me it only freezes sometime when restoring an app. Just force close it and try again.
Had my Gnex for about 3 weeks. Rooted and installed RAScream/Trinity last night. When I tried to re-download swype from the swype installer app, it seems to start, and then fails, giving me the message: "Parse error. There is a problem parsing the package."
There are some posts on the Swype forums about the issue (e.g., http://forum.swype.com/showthread.php?6320-Parsing-errors-Read-this!), but none of the solutions seem to work.
Anybody know a workaround? Typing without swype is ridiculously painful.
For what it's worth, I do have a nandroid backup from before I installed this ROM, and I had swype installed then. But it seems like a bad project to reinstall that nandroid just to extract the swype APK from it. Is it possible to get the swype APK out of that nandroid backup without reloading that backup onto my phone?
Titanium can restore from a nandroid.
Which solutions did you try from the forum?
I had the same problem, but it worked for me when I downloaded it with just 3g.

I tried 3g. No luck. I'll try to selectively restore it using Titanium.

Sweet I'm back on Swype thanks to this suggestion. Paid the $6 or so for pro version and easily restored just Swype from the nandroid. Perfect!

I was just about to ask this same question, but I found your thread so thank you lol. I can confirm that the Titanium Backup method works, if you have a back up you can restore swype if you are getting the installation error.
I had to download it via 3g to get it to work.
However, I recently switched to TouchPal Keyboard, another free sliding keyboard. I find I'm more accurate with it, and I find editing easier.
I switched the second time my swype beta license unexpectedly expired, and I didn't find out until I went to respond to an urgent email. I also didn't like the double download for swype, nor the new downloader (for DragonGo) they've added. It's a keyboard... why all the downloaders?

Yeah for any future readers of this thread I would just note that when you restore from a nandroid, you restore something named 'com.input.Swype' or 'com.keyboard.Swype' or something like that (I can't remember exactly what it was). There is nothing just named 'Swype'

I ran into this issue as well after trying a new ROM. I tried everything and nothing would work... until I signed up with a different email address then it worked perfectly. I'm guessing this is the same issue you were having. Since then I've used Titanium and restored it that way
Here is how I got Swype back:
If any of you have a NAND backup of before you lost Swype, you can pull out com.swype.android.input (or something very similar) from the backup and extract it. Once extracted and restored (app + data), wipe cache and dalvik and go enable it in Settings --> Language and Input. BAM!!! You got Swype!!

I didn't even have to wipe anything and it worked like a charm for me.

i downloaded a themed version off off rootzwiki. they have a crap ton of themed versions. just install the apk as normal.
I Cannot restore an App (any App) AND I Cannot restore an App+Data using TB Pro version 6.0.2.1
I have been trying for a few days now. I have waited up to 20 minutes for Restores to complete. They DON'T. It just hangs. I have to use the phones Task manager to End Titanium Backup.
I have tried uninstalling and re-installing TB several times with no luck..
The funny thing is If I download the App, I am trying to restore, from the Playstore I CAN restore that Apps data from the Backup I have in TB.. Restoring Data isn't an issue.
I have never had this problem with TB and I have been using it for years. Any Ideas on this?
I'm not having this issue with TB but try and clear data of TB by going into Application Manager. Hope this helps.

Thanks for replying AddisG,
Wiping Data did not work. I tried several times and also rebooted after a couple of times. I also wiped Cache and Dalvik Cache in TWRP Recovery. Doing that did not work also.
I noticed that even after uninstalling TB App and TB Pro Key the TB folder is still on my sdcard so when I re-install TB it uses the same "old" folder so I deleted the folder to get a "fresh start". That did not fix my issue either.
This is very perplexing. I have NEVER had an issue with TB before and it is now apparent that no other users are having this issue...
I'm running; teshxx T889UVALL4 Deodexed ROM (debloated by me) only MOD I've done is flash foreverloco [Theme] ASOP UALL4..
I am NOT suggesting the ROM or MOD (everything is running fine) is the issue, I'm just giving info... Could I have debloated something TB needs to perform it's restore operation?.. I must have borked something somewhere... Hopefully I can figure out what I did wrong so I can post it here and solve this Thread.
Have you tried pointing the app back to your sd card? Normally it uses internal storage but since you said tb folder is on sd card the app just isn't seeing it.
Sometimes just rebooting helps the app load the files.

SOLVED!
My issue was that I needed to clear data in the Play Store App and accept Terms and get signed back in.
After doing that I went into TB's settings and used the Market Doctor option to re sync my user apps..apparently TB uses the App to be reinstalled Play Store link.
Thanks to all who replied.
So I uninstalled Nova Launcher in Titanium backup thinking it would revert back to Touchwiz...well that wasnt the case (As soon as I uninstalled it, it started acting crazy so I rebooted the phone and it gets stuck on the SMASUNG part and just hangs there)...so Ive tried reinstalling Nova via a zip from cwm recovery, but this is what it says :Finding update package...Opening update package...Installing update...Installation aborted.
Is there a zip of Touchwiz available anywhere? Any advice? Im REALLY trying to avoid re flashing the ROM because I have some notes and stuff on there that i really need that I hadnt backed up yet unfortunately...
The minute after submitting this thread, I tried a third and final Nova zip i found online and it installed perfectly! Problem solved......
Next time try looking in the PLAY store for an ACTUAL paid app from the store. Then you'll probably won't run into any problems like you were having!!! Or just factory reset and it should put you back too, how it should be!!
Just my 2¢®

If it was your active launcher and you delete it. That had problems written all over it. Did you change to a temporary launcher first? Or was Nova your current?
