Hello, all.
I froze some system apps on my Pixel 2 XL using Titanium Backup. But it turns out I need to unfreeze a few of them now, but I can't. Titanium Backup, as well as several other root freeze / defrost apps, report a successful defrost each time. But in reality the apps are still frozen. And this is confirmed when I re-enter the freeze / defrost app, it lists them all as still frozen. I can try and try again to defrost, but it's always unsuccessful. It should be noted I don't have a Titanium Backup of the apps, nor do I have a TWRP backup of the phone pre-freeze. So I can't simply uninstall, then restore, the apps. I need a solution to defrost them, because that's the only option I seem to have.
I read a few forum threads about this problem happening to other people, and a proposed solution involving manually editing packages.xml. However these threads are years old, and seemingly outdated because the packages.xml on my phone doesn't contain the strings people are referring to.
So... I'm stuck. I contacted a few of the freeze / defrost app developers for tips, but none of them responded. So I'm hoping some of y'all here have some solution for me to try.
Thanks in advance,

I haven't encountered your problem with TiBu on my stock + rooted P2XL, however, have you tried clearing TiBu app cache and data, then rebooting?

Yes, I have. Makes no difference.

Then about the only other thing I could suggest is to clear app cache/data again, go to magisk manager and uncheck root authorization, uninstall TiBu, reboot, then install TiBu again.

I am a newbie when it comes to posting. I always use xda with the search function only when I have problems, but I can't find a working solution that works for me in the forums. this is my first time ever posting.
I am running CM6 stable with snap7.5 kernel & gapps-hdpi-20100817 and my GPS used to work like a charm but now it hangs on finding gps for a while now and it doesn't take me to route. I noticed a lot of people running CM6 is having the same problem, but none of the fixes work for me. I have tried wipe cache dalvik twice, then re-flashing newest gapps, and tried numerous different kernels, including stock CM6 kernel.
Also, one of the biggest annoyances is the missing apps in the market. I paid for apps like Skydroid and so on, and after flashing official CM6 stable titanium back wont restore, even just the app by itself. I cleared data & cache from market and did all fixes online, but still no luck. I can't even find it on the market to re purchase it. Thats when I started to notice there are a lot of apps that doesn't show up in my market search. I can find the apps like Angry Birds in Appbrian, but when i try to install it from my phone and when it brings me to the market place to install, it wont find it. If anyone can help me with these problems that would help me out so much, and put an end to my searching.
Not sure why.. but if you do titanium backup or your apps it stores then on the SD card to reinstall. Never have to go through market again. If you have a band backup to where you had those apps install it and do a apps backup then go to the nand backup of cm6 and install them through titanium

Actually I have tried that already too, I went back to a nand that i had all these apps working and then went back to CM6 and titanium backup still said unsuccessful installation. first time its happened but it was unsuccessful with a lot of apps.
i rooted my phone today, and downgraded it
but before all that i made a backup using MyBackup.
after rooting i restored it and all the apps keep crashing, even apps that come with the stock ROM.
when trying to uninstall, the 'remove app' app crashes too. at the end i uninstalled most of the backed up apps.
but my question is, why does this keep happening and is there a way to stop it?
It's because you shouldn't backup and restore apps across different roms. It will cause compability issues ie force closes.

Open rom manager app from the market and select fix permissions. Let that run then restart your phone. This might make all the difference. It might however, make no difference at all.

MyBackup gives this issue sometimes. Try to restore your backup once again. Remember to restart your phone right away (even 3 secs delay gives you the same error) after the backup is finished. Try to import apps only.
If this does not help, i m afraid the backup won´t work.

no, it didnt help...i guess i have to install them all over again, and all the progress of my games too ...
When I do restores from mybackup pro it corrupts my apps and causes FCs. This has seemed to happen after I switched to gingerbread. Does anyone else have this issue? I am emailing customer support but they don't seem to have any suggestions.
Titanium backup.

I stopped restoring apps a long time ago, because of corrupted files. Its better to re-download them from the market anyways and run them off internal storage rather than sdcard. I do restore data like browser bookmarks and what not though. Tibu does seem like it is better for these type of things.
I have been experiencing the same problem with MyBackup Root.
I also switched from Android 2.2 to 2.3, stock MT4G to Virtuous Unity. After I restored my apps with MyBackup root, a handful of them force close on opening. I discovered that some of the apps which I had originally moved to sdcard prior to backing them up, need to be moved back to sdcard after restoring, and then they start functioning properly.
Unfortunately some apps, like Firefox, still force close no matter what. I've tried clearing user data, fixing the permissions in ROM Manager, but nothing would allow Firefox to work until I uninstalled it and reinstalled it. I've still got several other apps I would like to recover but have not had any success. Worst-case scenario I could go back to my nandroid backup and use another backup program like Titanium for those particular apps but it would be quite a hassle and I certainly would prefer not to!
Thanks in advance for any help or advice you can think of...
[Edit] Just noticed which forum this was posted in... Hard to say for sure if the problem is specific to any device or ROM or MyBackup in general, but it might still be useful.
The wonderful people at RerWare advised the following: In options, check "PM Binaries" and restore...
This has solved the issue for at least one of my apps, and I am now going to restore them all to see how it goes.
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 installed and set up properly?
Did you restore any system apps or settings with Titanium Backup?

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.

Hey
Anyone having Problems with deinstalling the system apps too?
I am successfully rooted and tried to deinstall YouTube/maps/chrome etc., but the always come back after reboot.i am trying with titanium backup, magisk debloat and magisk App systemizer, but no matter which way I choose.. The result ist always the same...
As I understood, system apps are on read-only partition, so it's near impossible to get rid of them. I managed to remove them usind adb, but I think it's not permanent solution.

Try this one: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-uninstall-apps-t3776235/amp/
Open the link in a browser.
When you uninstall an app, you may need to try a couple of times, but it does go away.
Other solution is to freeze the app with TiBackup. Almost the same, the apps even stay frozen after an update.

Yes... Did this too. But sadly it is not a solution for YouTube-vanced...
Agree with all fronts. Very annoying. I'm hoping that titanium is able to fix this issue soon
