Titanium Backup keeps crashing, am i alone?

Woke up today just to see that Titanium Backup had crashed during the scheduled backup tonight. Since then i haven't been able to do anything with it!
Sometimes it crashes right off the start, sometimes i can start a backup and have it crash about ~12-14% in. I tried going in to the settings and checking the "AUTO, indirect" setting that they recommend if you're having problems, but that didn't help either. (And it took me 3 tries to get in to the settings without it crashing!)
I've tried wiping all the app data, re-installing it, installing an older version (that they suggest on their website if having issues). I also tried re-setting the super user permissions for it. None of which helps!
I haven't found any information on it yet, so i assume i'm alone with this? Have anyone else been having the same issue?
Just emailed the support, but i imagine it will take at least a week for them to reply (if they do).
So, any suggestions?
EDIT: I just timed it and it appears to crash after approx 30 seconds, no matter what i do in the application. I Hope the developers sees this.
DOUBLE EDIT: It appears to be working again after updating to v4.9.0.1.

I don't do scheduled backups but the app hasn't failed me yet doing it manually.

well id suggest connecting to your pc and backup the titaniumbackup folder (that way you know all your backups are safe)
then making a nandroid backup
then flashing another ROM or just wiping and reflashing the same ROM you're using

The backups i have stored are outdated now, i've changed a lot since the last update. The plan all along was to do a titanium backup, sync it to dropbox, flash this rom, and then restore all my apps etc. So i'm really kind of out of options now, unless i download everything manually and set everything up again. Doesn't sound very fun tbh. I might just try to find an alternative to titanium, but i'd really like to get it working again. Nothing seems to help.

You are not alone!
Hi, just to say you are not alone. Your case 99% similar to mine.
Just encountered this freeze after the app update on 18/19 Mar and the app will freeze even when I do nothing in the app. And yes, what a coincidence, the app when backup under schedule has stopped (with screen save off) at 14% completion.
Tried the method of deleting the app data and reinstall the app and even worse, now the app stops right when launching after a moment of black screen.
Already filed email and log file to support hopefully there will be an answer...

Hi, I'm also having exactly the same problem with TBU. Am on the pro version.
This has been a problem for about a week now. Not sure if it doesn't play nicely with CM9 or the kernel i'm running. What are you guys running? I may re-flash stock ICS and see if it still gives me problems. Quick question, does reflashing stock ICS remove root? I read somewhere it does and just want to get some different opinons.
Am running a CM9 nightly with Franco Kernal on GMS Galaxy Nexus.

I am also on pro version. Mine is at stock 4.0.2.
And yes, if you re-flash stock you lose root and have to re-root.
I am very very suspecting the crash is something related to the license checking of pro-key so that will explain why the program will crash in 20-30 sec without any special action doing or launching in the app. Just my guess... Hope the support will answer back shortly...

Thanks for the help, have uninstalled for now, will you post if the dev gets back to you?
Interesting that it's happening across a range of different setups.

Oh my god! It works!!!!! I love you @andQlimax!
To all: Yes, the problem solved after I clear the cache and data of the play store. Beware that I also cleared out data of titanium backup before that when tackling the problem, but you may not need to...

IT WORKS!!!!!!!

Thanks, been without backups since play came. I had tried to clear Google Play Store cache but not data and that fixed it.

Thank you very much, guys!
After a few days of desperate waiting for an update of TB, you made my day. Clearing caches and data of Titanium and Google Play solved the problem.

I would've never solved this big distress without you guys, you r my saaaaaaaviors, my superheroes

android revolution hd 10.3 - push not supported HTC One X

hi guys newbie here,
I know this should probably be posted in the rom thread but due to lack of posts I cant ask the question there, I have installed ARHD 10.2 and now updated to 10.3 and on both versions of the rom get the notice ( on facebook / friendcaster ) - unable to enable notifications as your phone does not support push messages, everything else seems to be fine, just wondered if anyone has come across this or if there is something I have done wrong.
Again sorry if this is posted in the wrong place

google account seems installed and set up ( play is working fine and logged in with my google account on phone set up) anything else I should check? sorry like i said kinda new to this
I restored all apps and data with titanium
thanks for your response

I've seen this pop up a couple of times on the forum, but don't recall of there was a fix.
I would take a backup (if you have titanium, I'm assuming you're rooted, so both nandroid and titanium backup) and then factory reset, put your Google account back and try the apps again.
Once you've confirmed it works, use titanium to restore user apps and data, NOT system apps or data.

Hey,
maybe you should reflash 10.3.. and before that wipe data and wipe cache.. worked for me.
My push notifications work.

Weird problem with Nougat on my oneplus 3

I've used sultanxda's cm 13 rom since it's inception and only stayed there because of xposed. Since the official xposed was released, I decided to upgrade and have had nothing but problems.
To start with, I upgraded with TWRP by wiping (system/cache), flashing new fw by sultan, flashing the new sultanxda cm14 rom, flashed gapps, flashed magisk, wiped cache, and booted. After it booted it up, a lot of FC and apps staying on their splash window and closing.
So I tried RR and they fared well, but after a while it started doing the same. I could be not using my phone for a few hours, load whats app, and it would FC.
Backed up data (using TB), did a full wipe (system/data/cache), flashed fw, flashed rom, flashed gapp, magisk, xposed, and flashed the update.zip I created with TB. After boot and restore it did the same thing.
Thinking maybe it's the data, I did the above, but this time I didn't restore the data by TB's update.zip. I did a clean install, booted, waited for google play to restore by downloading all apps, then restored only the data using TB. This seemed to be having the best result and I used it all day with minor issues like whatsapp would not update until I launched it. So if people were sending me messages, I didn't know until I launched whatsapp.
Went to bed and woke up, same deal as the original problems. Lots of apps: Whatsapp, Web video broadcaster, whisper, signal, ring, sc, firetv app, and many more would either give FC or not launch. Only way I figured to fix it is restore the app only using TB.
I even tried reflashing the FW and Open beta FW again, but that did not help.
What is about my phone and nougat that's causing me to have these problems? I had no issue using MM with all of these apps. If they were not compatible, google would have not downloaded them after a clean install.
Anyone else having these issues or know what might be going on? I'm very tempted to go back to my MM backup and update the data for all apps if I cant fix this.

/using TB is known to brek google push messaging service. Alos when going from something that was on android m to android n, always do a clean flash (formatting both caches, system and data) When backing up, make sure to only back up and restore user data. Not a single piece of system info should ever be restored.

right, that's what I did this last time I reflashed everything. backed up all important apps, flashed everything, let google restore the apps, and restore only the data to the non-system apps.
would that have an effect of every other app though? I could not use web video caster even thought it was a fresh install, no restored data, because it would just FC.

The best thing you can do is grab matlog from the play store and run a logcat. The post it in the roms thread.

Whatsapp Service Gets Terminated

I'm running NitrogenOS, without any modifications. I don't have any battery saving apps as far as I know. Whatsapp's data isn't restricted, and I've checked the settings there is nothing that can restrict Whatsapp. It is allowed to run in background. It's been 8 hours and Whatsapp has been working for only one hour. There is no wakelock blocked, I've resetted applications preferences to see if that solves it, it didn't. I also had this issue in Nougat running Resurrection Remix. I was running Nitrogen first, there was no problem, then I clean flashed Cardinal Xtended and it worked fine too. I wanted to go back to Nitrogen so I wiped the system and flashed Nitrogen. I didn't wipe data because I didn't wanted to start over. May that be causing a problem? I'm really lost and I don't know what to do.

Did you restore WhatsApp or app data from Titanium Backup?

Nope it's the same whatsapp data that was left over from the previous ROM (Cardinal Xtended). Will keeping the data from a previous ROM installation cause a problem?

Your issue was the dirty flash. This is the reason people tell you not to do it.
Starting over all the time is part of flashing roms. Get used to it. This is also part of the reason most devs keep their device very minimal when it comes to apps. Most devs I know only install like 5 apps on top of stock because they have to reset all the time.

By this u mean we should perform clean flash and use TB later right?

That is what I do. You may have to clear the apps cache and reboot as tibu does cause issues with Google messaging service that WhatsApp uses.

Well I have wiped the whatsapp data aaand everything is fine for now.

Nexus 5x is slow now, root without data loss?

hi guys,
my nexus 5x is getting a bit old and is very very slow a lot of the time. i see 2 options:
1: factory reset and hope it speeds up
2: root, and install a light weight ROM ( crDroid looks good) and also use root features like disable auto start on apps.
i feel like the 2nd option would be best, i think a major issues with my phone is that i have a lot of apps that i use maybe once a week, but its impossible to disable auto-start apps without root based on my knowledge (Ive tried several apps, it doesn't work). and i dont want to install/reinstall a dozen apps each month.
i have google backup enabled, and i also backed up my SMS data with a 3rd party app (apparently google doesn't back up SMS). if i were to unlock bootloader and flash a new ROM, would i loose any data thats currently on my phone (ie, data/apps that wont come back after restoring backup)?
Thanks

If your bootloader is not unlocked then absolutely. Unlocking it will wipe the device.
Sent from my [device_name] using XDA-Developers Legacy app

Yes - unlocking bootloader will wipe everything, so make sure photos/videos/music/sms/mms is backed up in cloud or on PC.
Since you're gonna lose everything anyway, why not try factory reset (but backup the things I mention above first Then see how your phone acts when adding back the 3rd party apps.
Have you taken all OTA's? 8.1 is out for Nexus 5X.
I'm on it now and not rooted. Have rooted up to now, but so far I am impressed with stock non-rooted performance.

If you can live without root I think you should try first the wiping/factory reset. Performance is pretty good with 8.1 stock for me.One restart everyday is recommended also.

the 8.1 OTA update worked great for 24 hours, and after that it became incredibly slow again. for some crazy ass reason, every single app is running all the time, even if i limit background process and even disable apps with background check. when there is a heavy computing load, random apps that are rarely ever used start crashing (not responding error). and since you cant stop apps from running anymore without root, i think a root is required or a new phone as its unusable 75% of the time.
if i use google backup, and backup my sms through a 3rd app, will i be able to restore everything on my phone after root? if not, what will go missing so i can back it up separately.
if google backup includes all apps/app data, contacts, pictures/videos and call history, and i backed up my sms with a 3rd party app. seems like everything should get restored after root.

I was watching catlog *:W and *:E and saw that OOM killer was failing and a bunch of errors, even with the Jan 5 2018 / 8.1.0 r7 update. The phone is ridiculously slow at starting chrome, loading webpages, downloading attachments from email, updating apps from the play store.
I deleted the dalvik-cache and cache and started every app manually and rebooted a bunch of times, but the phone seems to degrade into this pathetically slow mode. It seems as if the flash is 10-100x slower than it should be.

This is what I'm too afraid off. Maybe Google has done something to slow the device down like Apple did recently?

How are you guys seeing 8.1 already? I'm on T-Mobile. TIA.

Updates arrive at different intervals for Nexus devices. If you do not want to wait, adb sideload the full OTA image:
