Titanium backup should do the job. But id make sure you replace it with another program if you do, e.g Avast

The reason you can't find it is because you don't have it.

No i can see the app using file explorer. But not in the tb...

I'm sure there's a way to do it; I, personally, don't know where the settings are stored though

Titanium Backup will do it just fine. I always back up my CM settings.

yes, you can backup apps+data with titanium backup, but how do you backup VPN, Wireless and other CM7-settings? afaik it is not possible to save those settings with titanium backup!?
if anybody could tell me where the settings are stored i could use adb shell or root explorer and simply copy them.

Your wireless network settings should automatically sync with your Google account, but there are options in TB to specifically back them up. I'm not sure about VPNs, but you could poke around for it. I only know that selecting "back up all user apps and system data" and restoring it is essentially a nandroid. Other than re-adding widgets and changing the wallpaper, I can't think of anything that it doesn't save.
ok, but this would be a complete backup. i could do this with rom manager. so my main question is: where are the CM7-settings stored?

[Q] Titanium will not update or uninstall (fixed)

So for the past few weeks I have not been able to get titanium to update, I went to uninstall and it fails to uninstall. Anyone with any ideas? I know I could wipe but my last backup I was already having titanium problems, and it's not worth starting from scrach for one program. Maybe someone knows how to delete manually could help me out that way? I am using the donate ver. Thanks for whatever info you guys can lay on me.
Oddly, my Titanium has had a problem a few times, lately, where it won't do a back up or restore. You select one or the other, and it just switches to the list of apps.
I noticed that clearing data in Application Manager seems to fix the problem, but I hope the dev for this app figures out a fix soon.
Anyhow, you can remove it via Root Explorer, reboot, then reinstall it.
Uninstalling it will not remove your backups.
I was going to remove with rootexplore but what files do I need to delete and keep?

Don't forget trying to update busy box. That has solved a few titanium problems for me in the past.

It should be in /system/app/
or do a search for titanium and remove whatever comes up
Thanks for the help guys. I did try updating busybox, that didn't fix it.
I deleted files in the app folder, that didn't help. Then i used the search in root explorer deleted only files that were not on my SD card. Re-booted, installed titanium (install worked this time) went to market and was able to download and update. So all is good. Thanks again guys!

Backups question

Seems to be the only reason i have my phone rooted is for titanium backup, would anyone know a program that does the same without having root?

Either Freeze the apps with Titanium Backup Pro, or delete the APK's using Root Explorer (apps are in /system/app).

how can I uninstall a samsung app?

can someone please help me. It's driving me nuts.
I can not disable nor uninstall S planner. The disable button is grayed out, I can only force stop, but it restarts after I reboot my phone. It is very annoying.
Titanium Backup?
it is safe to remove Samsung Apps such as S Planner, S Voice using "Force remove app" function?

It depends on that software and his role...cuz many OEM apps share their lib and other files
However...normally it is safe!

I just deleted them, if anything goes wrong I'll just reflash the rom.
Titanium Backup is the best.

Just freeze with Titanium backup so you dont have to reflash ROM
SystemApp Remover or other similar app.
