Hopefully someone can help, I just finally upgraded my rooted LG G2 to and LG G3. When I got the G3 I rooted right away without any issues and then used Titanium Backup to restore my apps and system files. Now when I use my spiffy new ROUND smartcover the app puts up the old RECTANGULAR clock and apps from my G2.
Tried wiping the phone and starting over with a fresh factory reset and then re-rooting. All worked fine. Then tried to use Titanium to restore just my apps but not the system files. Ended up in a bootloop (didn't get past the red Verizon screen) and had to go through the factory reset, root and TB restore of my apps and system files.
Two questions:
1) how can I fix my smartcover app to work for the G3 round form factor? Current version of LGSmartCover is 4.21.28. Is this the right one or the old one from my G2?
2) what other system apps have I potentially buggered and just haven't realized yet?
Many thanks for your assistance!!!!

Hi all...I have already added a bunch of apps to my new GNex and have been reading that when I get ready to bootload and root, that it will wipe everything off of the phone. Is there a program that I could use beforehand to save all these apps and then reinstall after rooting?
Also, I had my old DX rooted and backed up with Titanium...Could I restore that backup to the GNex and have all of my apps and programs back? Many thanks!
Hi all, i really need help here. I search through forums but still cant get any solution.
I rooted my s3 earlier today and freezing some stuff using titanium backup. It work fine until suddenly it got restart automatically. After that, i got stuck on the "Samsung" logo. I do not install any custom rom as i'm noob to all these things. I froze those apps and some bloat stuff according to some list i got from the internet.
What i can do to get my phone running back without losing any data? I forgot to back up using clockwork after i root my phone.
Please help!!!!!!

You can still backup now (if you have a custom recovery installed. if you don't, then i think there are some clockworkmod Odin flashables available, no idea where). Then when you erase, and boot up next time, use titanium to open the nandroid backup (because it can do that, as long as you have the full version, which you can just find cracked versions of), and it will add the whole nandroid backup to part of the "backed up list" in titanium. All the data should be preserved too (I don't rememebr if it also takes the cache).
and just a question to devs, is it even possible to cause boot loops by freezing bloat? I have never had such issues. I even froze my browser, the calendar, file manager, clock, and nearly every app in a clean AOSP build (did that for a benchmark once), and it hasn't bootlooped. Think there is something else? Some other factor?

I have never seen or heard freezing bloat to cause boot loops. He froze something he shouldn't have. Try Odin back to stock then re-root or leave stock. Don't do things you don't understand.
It sounds like you froze something you shouldn't have like this poster said. Before freezing in titanium always make a nandroid backup and do a quick Google search to make sure it's safe to freeze.
Hello
I recently got the E971 Rogers LG Optimus G, and I'm very happy with it but coming from S3 i9300, I'm a little overwhelmed with the how much less content there is for this phone, also the amount of variants, 13 MP/8 MP etc...it's very confusing.
Anyways, my problems is I recently Rooted my phone and managed to get titantium backup running, but when ever I try deleting anything to do with bloatware, it cannot find the apk...but I can back them up?
I can uninstall the minor apps fine, but the majority of them are red and cannot be deleted.
I gave it root permission.
Any help would be appreciated!
Red color means not unable to delete but unable to back up the data.
Do you use free version?

yes I do, I just got the pro version and just froze the apps. Everything seems fine now. If I delete the apps, The phone does inf Boot with "LG Security" problem.
Pretty sure that if you unlock the bootloader with FreeGee, the security is disabled and you can delete/ uninstall any apps you want.

Since we have root and recovery now, I was wondering if anyone coming from a different OEM device used TBackup to restore their apps and did it successfully? I was able to restore a few apps but the rest had a blue question mark with a silver background circle icon. Wondering if this normal or my microsd card got corrupted and that's why I'm seeing what I'm seeing. Or, it's normal due to the backup is from a different OEM.
I'm thinking of taking another chance on the G3 again since my 1st one was returned due to getting a lemon.
EDIT: Looks like it was due to a bunch of corrupted files on my sdcard since I just got a new G3 and was able to see all my app backups in TBackup.

sweet glad it worked, also remember to NEVER restore system data from another device within TB. I used to do this back in my noob days and I wondered why my phone kept having FC's.. Just restore all apps with data
When I switch devices, I only restore missing user apps. It's generally safe to restore the user data with those apps but you need to be careful with a few -- for instance I find Facebook doesn't restore well, the notifications often don't work if you do that, just I just skip it and install it from the Play Store fresh. But for the 200 or so user apps, it saves so much time.
Tab S 8.4 won't boot after having used "Bloatware Melter" in Titanium Backup
Hey everybody,
So yesterday I finally took my time to install the Android 6.0 official release by Samsung on my Galaxy Tab S 8.4.
Got the Image from a mirror found here on XDA, but I just can't manage to find the Thread right now...
It's basically the same image that Samsung rolled out for the Nordic Countrys, found on Sammobile for the SM-T705.
Anyway, so I was just about debloating my tab from all the google nonsense with Titanium Backup.
Froze all the unwanted Packages to see if I hit one too many, and in the end I made a Batch uninstall with Titanium Backup. All of these pesky Apps (the system ones) remained right where they were too, which was odd enough already. So I decided to go ahead and kill them off with the "Bloatware Melter" Function.
Selected all of the apps, put them in a filter, started the Action, which then told me to reboot my Tab for the changes to become active. But it never did.
The Bootloader partition is still working, but I can't boot into the system. I can tell the Bootloader is okay, because I can boot to download mode, the recovery and to the system. But whenever I boot to system the Initial Boot Logo turns off (the one you see first, no matter how you boot) and the screen goes black. Left it lying there for about 10 minutes, no reaction. Went into recovery, cleared the Cache, Dalvik and Internal Data (without /data/media) but that didn't have any effect.
I upgraded directly from 5.0.2, my Tab is and was rooted and I had Xposed installed. I'm using TWRP 3.0.0-0. But It did boot into Android the first few times, so it seems like the Bloatware Melter is the actual problem. Does anyone have an idea what may have caused this? Because else I'm just gonna go ahead and do it all again from scratch I guess...
Thanks in advance.
Ho yeah time to wipe and start again. This time, after flashing the stock rom, install TWRP with odin, then supersu and the debloating can begin. Don't use titanium, it doesn't work too well with a change from LP to MM6. There are tons of file managers and de-bloaters, once you're rooted.
First of all, thanks for the reply.
Yeah, semms like it. I was messing around with my Tab the last few days trying to figure out what actually caused the system to fail while booting. Seems like the pre installed Dictionary App is the villain. Which is kinda odd, since i really never use it, and why would something like that cause my system to freeze anyway?
To see if this actually was the cause I uninstalled the Dictionary App on my Samsung Galaxy S5 too (again with Titanium Backup, just as before) which then froze on boot as well. So, lesson learned: Freeze the Dictionary, don't remove it.
For now at least, until I find a reasonable app to go with in terms of debloating. I'll have a look into this problem in the next few days again, for now I'm pleased with Marshmallow.
Thanks for the tip.
