Hi all,
Can anyone explain why Titanium backup cannot integrate updates of system apps on a locked bootloader but we can make changes to system files with a root explorer? I don't get it!

I want backup some of my apps with titaniumbackup, but they don't work on 1.72. Only titanum was full backuped my apps (with dalvik cache and system setings).
So I'am intresting is there any option to full backup apps with root acces from windows command-promt or android app that don't need root acces?
Hey folks,
when i backup'd all my stuff on my rooted g1 i totally forgot that titanium backup needs root access to work!
now i have all those files backed up but no easy way to temp. root my desire z and can't find another way to restore the backups .. (not only the apps, more important the data of them and sms)
Is there any app for phone or computer who can do this without root? i guess no? or am i missing the super1clickeasytemporaryroot app?
No, I don't think there is a way to take the files created by Titanium Backup, and restore system-level data, like your call logs or SMS. If you still have your G1 handy, install a utility like SMS Backup and Restore (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.riteshsahu.SMSBackupRestore). Use it to create a backup in XML format, transfer the file over to your DZ, then use the same app to restore your messages.

Okay so in Titanium Backup my free System ROM memory is 229MB. SD Card Maid says 211MB free. Im not sure why they both have different values but, can I make any of these unused MB converted to usable system space for more apps? I've tried making some apps system apps through Titanium Backup and that takes more ROM memory and makes the used internal memory less, but that just makes the apps unusable. Im using CM7 Nightly and CWM Recovery. Thanks for the help.
Well I probably found an answer in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=855424 but if anybody has another suggestion .....
Sure you can. I recommend using Titanium Backup to uninstall system apps. Be sure to make a full backup using whichever recovery you currently are using jiust encase you delete something important. I removed apps related to live wallpapers, friend streams, twitter etc. Features I don't use. Hope this helps.
I forgot to ask. Do you have a SD-EXT partition set up? May want to look into that.
Removing system apps doesn't free up storage for installing user apps. You can manually move apps into the system partition if you want, but you have to redo that after that app gets upgraded. The other option is to play with MTD partition size as mentioned in the thread you found.
You can't flash the apps to system/data?

/system/app is where they'd go. You don't necessarily need to flash them there, you can use Titanium or a root-capable file explorer to move them. Some apps need some extra steps to work with their native libraries though. In addition the problem I mentioned of updates going back to /data/app instead of updating in the system partition, you also have to keep track of what you've moved in and do it again if you flash an updated ROM (without wiping).

You are correct. Good points.
I don't have an SD EXT but I'll look into that. The link I posted helped alot. Thanks for all your help guys.

Hi guys
I understand that,to uninstall bloatware apps u install titanium backup and uninstall,via that.
But what about apps that u want to add, so that when you reset the phone it will be,automatically be there as standard
You can also use titanium backup to "convert to system app" which should do what you're asking about. You can also move the app to the system apps directory using system restore (search about incorporating system app updates into the rom to save space).
But honestly, why would you want to ADD MORE apps as an immovable system app unless you're building a ROM? Don't bother with the hassle, just leave it as a user app and make a titanium backup of it.

Make sure you are using superSu with the last binaries
Super su v2.76. Is there any newer version
Get Titanium Backup Pro. It can do this and so much more. Totally worth it
It's titanium pro
On this device, the system partition is write protected, even with root. You need to install wp_mod to delete system apps.
I've seen folks accomplish it other ways (I think changing permissions in ES File Explorer or similar "root" explorer) in addition to Titanium mentioned above (which I can't personally say works or not). But wp_mod is the most common way I've seen discussed to delete system apps.
Its all a bit irrelevant. The system (OS) partition is not normally user accessible; nor will deleting system apps change the size of the system partition. Nor will deleting "bloatware" system apps does not increase your user data storage. The only exception to these points, is if you intend to install user apps as system apps (which again, will require wp_mod or similar). But that's getting pretty fancy and I don't think that is what you are talking about.
