I'm on jellybean 4.1.2, rooted, titanium backup installed. Once I back up a system app such as at&t locker or allshare play, what if I go ahead and delete it via TB? Can I completely restore it via TB later with no consequences? Thanks for any help on this.

Yes you can delete and restore apps without any consequences as long as you only delete apps that you know for sure what they are and what they do. Allshare is fine but some apps are important for the system and your phone wont run without them.

Does anybody know what the apk for photobucket is called? I cant find it under system/app
I just rooted my G2 yesterday and got rid of all the useless apps that Tmobile included in the stock ROM. If you are rooted, just use Titanium Backup to delete the apps you don't want. You will see a list of all the apps on your phone under the backup/restore section of Titanium, click on the app and touch un-install and its gone. Couldn't be easier, however you do need to be rooted.

Yep..
I don't use Titanium Backup, no reason I just seen it installed when I installed a rom, than I deleted it because I didn't think I would need it, Rom Manager allows me to do back-ups, and I use Root Uninstaller app to delete my stock apps.
I don't deny Titanium Backup is good, I just never used it. I may check it out later though. Root Uninstaller allows you to backup your apps, but you have to pay to restore them with the full version, and I bet Titanium Backup allows you to do it for free, but whatever?
ok so I have titanium back up. I am going to fully back up my phone then do a factory restore so I can update to EI22 then Can I use Titanium to restore everything(minus the apps that need root) or do I have to be rooted for titanium to work. The goal here is to go back to full stock on EI22 no root but have all my stuff
Thanks

You have to be rooted. After about a day all your apps you previously downloaded should appear in the Market under my apps so you can redownload them. And as long as you saved your contacts on Google and not your phone, they will be there. Otherwise you can export your contacts to the sd card and import them after.

If you do root EI22 then, make sure you restore only your user apps. Don't restore the whole list of system apps too. Just in case you didn't know...

I accidentally uninstalled "Contacts Storage 2.2.1" with titanium back up. I tried reinstalling it with titanium back up, but it does not work.
What can I do? I lost all of my contacts!
Have you tried pulling it from the original rom you flashed and pushing it into system/app through root explorer?

If u had them backed up on googles cloud thingy, u can odin stock or flash a new rom to get them back
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
Just reflash your ROM then you will be able to restore them with Titanium. It needs the system app installed to restore the data. OH, and if you are going to play with deleting system apps, use sdx app removal tool and back them up with the app first.
Relished and fixed.
Thanks.

So I haven't found the answer to this yet....
So i had to fully flash and unroot to take it my Gnex back to Verizon and I made a Nandroid backup but now after all is said and done I rerooted and installed a ROM and downloaded Titanium Backup and nothing was there. The folder was gone. I didn't realize it would wipe that folder away. I thought it would be like a factory reset (data/cache/dalvik) like I always do before flashing a new ROM. I don't have a backup of that Titanium backup folder, but is there a chance if I restore from a Nandroid backup up that it'll bring the folder back.
Not quite sure how the restore works in that sense. Any advice or answers would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Nope.
A nandroid will restore your apps and such though...
So restore the nandroid (you have a copy on your PC, if I'm understanding correctly?) and create a Titanium Backup then.
Yes I do have a Nandroid backup copy on my PC. Basically I wanted my apps back but wasn't going to do the Nandroid restore if it wasn't going to bring back my apps and data. Now I know to keep a copy of the Titanium back up folder as well as a copy of the Nandroid on my computer so I don't run into this again.
Hopefully I won't have to go back to Verizon soon and have to even worry about it again.
Thanks for your help!

There's also the option of using the app appextractor. It extracts from your nandroid so you don't have to actually restore the whole thing. I use titanium backup myself, so I've never tried using app extractor to restore apps, but it has the option and it works great for restoring SMS.

People sometimes complain of TB force closing during restore and such; which I've never had.
But I did get this when trying to restore applications from a nandroid with Titanium the couple of times I tried.
Granted, this was probably 10 updates ago, not sure if anything has changed.
Titanium backup will extract apps from your nandroid too as previously mentioned. Not sure of the steps as I don't have my phone with me at the moment but I have done it many times. The online help for TB has detailed instructions. Basically you choose extract from nandroid then point it to the nandroid and tick the apps you want restored. presto it restores them, However if you don't have the paid version you will have to do them one at a time. In the future you can set a schedule for TB to send your backup folder to Dropbox or google drive also. That way you can restore from there in case something catastrophic happens.
I haven't had to use it yet so can't say how good it is but the app Nandroid Browser is supposed to allow you to browse thru the backups in memory and you can pick what you want restored.

Just use Titanium. That's why it has a restore from nandroid option.
Don't like titanium. Never works for me...and yes...i do know how to read the directions but i would still get force close issues on some apps.
Supposedly can extract and restore any file from it. Single apk files...whatever...and move to sd, dropbox...

I didn't realize titanium had an extract from nandroid feature. But I never have problems with titanium force closing either, months ago it would hang occasionally during batch restores but that has been fixed.

I was talking about the app nandroid browser that extracts single files. And i always got fc from titanium. I use app2zip and flash all my apps back in while in recovery at same time as Rom

App2zip doesn't restore app data. It's nothing you can't do with a root file explorer. You could easily just copy your apps and stick em in the ROM or Gapps zips too if you didn't care about the data.

No it doesn't restore data but as long as you don't clear your storage is still there and i don't have any apps that need data restored. I don't play games or anything like that. I did see they have an old final fantasy in play store tho..All my bookmarks are in sync with desktop so those always come back. While not for people who need data restored it works for me since Google hasn't been restoring any of my apps for quite some time. App2zip is so much faster than hunting and installing one by one
*Shaolin Shadowboxing*
Just curious, couldn't you backup data using titanium and backup apk using that zip method? So you can backup the apk and then flash it, then after restore the data with titanium? Just a thought

I don't really have any data worth saving. My memory is full of roms, pics, and recovery files. That's about it.

I've had Titanium backup on my phone for a while now. The number of options/functions is a bit mind boggling on this app. So far I just used it for a basic complete backup and to freeze/unfreeze/uninstall/restore apps.
I don't have any backups scheduled yet. I also anticipate we'll probably get a JB 4.2 update this summer some time. Is there a guide anywhere on "best practices' for TB? I've spent dozens and dozens of hours tweaking this phone just right with all sorts of apps. My goal is after an update to have the least work/headache possible. I know many of the programs I'm using like Llama, WidgetLocker, Nova Launcher have their own settings backup I'll need to use to save to the SD card.
My phone is rooted but I plan to always stay on the stock ROM. I assume I will need to re-root then install TB and do a restore. Is this a simple one click operation, or even with TB am I probably going to run into problems and have to do a lot of re-config work? I don't even know if on an OS update TB can cause more problems than it solves so it's best to just start from scratch.
Thanks for the bone.
With Titanium Backup you can make a flashable .zip to restore your apps and data. I use this all the time and its quicker than restoring thru TiBu its self. I only zip apps since data can sometimes bork things up but its a handy feature

Does that mean I can make a full nandroid backup with tibu and be able to restore it without installing a custom recovery?

Not a nandroid.
Nandroid is your complete system backed up by a recovery
The flashable zip will just install your apps.
Look at it like GApps for CM10 or any other ROM.
Except its not Google Apps its your personal apps zip file.
And you will need a custom recovery.
