Recently updated to Android 10 Q
I have had zero luck in getting Titanium Backup to work properly. Even when trying to restore data, it causes the app the crash resulting in me needing to uninstall and reinstall (not even wiping data helps).
Any steps I need to follow?
I have root with Magisk 19.4 (patched boot img), latest Q update (.c).
I'd really love to get this working as otherwise I'll have lost all SMS data. I backed up before wiping my phone, but the Google backup wasn't available for me to restore from...even my plan B is failing X^D

I got around to doing a full flash yesterday (even full flashed both slots) with the .c factory image. Also got the canary MM and canary Magisk updates early this morning. TiBa is working fine for me. Just a shot in the dark, but are you running EdXposed or any other modules/modifications (Substratum themes) that could be causing issues? The only modules I have loaded are MagiskHide Props Config, Active Edge System Mod and systemless hosts. My BusyBox is Stericson and not the module.

No other modules or mods installed, not even a custom kernel at that point., but I found that part of my problem is that TiBu corrupted my messages backup. It took the better part of an hour to back up, but the backup file is only about 350 KB...I'm crestfallen, lol. Never had an issue like that with TiBu, been using it for years. Didn't even think to check that the backup was saved properly.
Lol, I woke up this morning and flashed back to Android Pie so I could restore my messages in TiBU, and then back them up some other way and then roll forward to 10...only to discover this. Talk about salt in the wound.

Glad it worked out. I don't use TiBa for messages. I use SMS backup and Restore. I absolutely love that app.

+1 for SMS backup and Restore. Although I use TiBu, I never restore anything but user apps with it.
Tried updating to Canary Magisk, still no love.

There is an add-on for Titanium on apk mirror. Install it and TB will work.
I have the exact same issue as OP. I'm trying to restore my SMS messages on 10 with TiBu. I'm on 10, rooted, with Magisk 19.4. Every time I go to restore my SMS data, TiBu just hangs and I have to force close it.
Any other ideas on how I could restore these messages?

If you have a large message archive, it can take 30-45 minutes to restore. Maybe it's working

It turned out that I needed to make TiBu the default SMS app for the restore. Once I did that it worked right away.

Not that I'm aware. It may have a couple of weeks ago, but not this latest time.

The solution to this is to disable "Verify apps over USB" in developer settings.

Backup sms/mms fails with most recent AOSP 10 (Pixel 3a). Manually changing default messaging app (no notification popup) doesn't work either. I guess TB isn't supported after Pie.

I heard that. Anyone who's been around this scene a while knows at one time it was great and a must for all users.
You can send logs in to TBU bug tracker web page. I'm sure they have a lot of people sending logs and writing them and it's probably hard to keep up but I sent some logs not long ago.. I never saw anything updated or anything because of my logs but...? I sent the maximum amount you can at a time and then filled out another report and sent more. Who knows...
I've been using Migrate NG from here on xda to backup my user apps and data from user apps. Works great! Check it out! Also from what I've read Swift app is supposedly the new good backup app that works but if you don't have pro you can only backup one app at a time and same on restore. Not sure why they don't do like a three day trial to let us try if out in pro version before we buy it...But from what I've seen they do not. Definitely check out Migrate app, anyone who hasn't. Works well on my OnePlus6t and the xda thread is active so if for some reason it doesn't work on your device there is help to get it to work.

I'm just going back to Pie and run it until the wheels fall off (like Kitkat). I don't like a lot of things with Q and breaks too many fundamental legacy apps and features imo. I can't really blame the old school developers for not supporting every autistic brain fart google comes up with.

I loved pie!! There are some awesome substratum themes too that lost support after pie... I hear you man. Many roms imo seemed to be better on android 9 than now. I used to like when android evolved and up graded to next version and now I don't because of exactly what you're saying here. You look at a nexus device back on say 7.12 and then now... Sure battery is better optimized nowadays but in my opinion those were the best times for android. More roms, themes, sound mods that were made universal (arise audio).. Android 7-9 was killer! I just know how much of a security risk it is using things that are that outdated... Especially nowadays! There is probably a way to patch an older version depending on how old it is.. I mean I see roms being made still for nexus 5x that are android 10 based now.. Good luck!

Hi guys, I need some help with my phone.
More or less one month ago it suddently started to slow down in many ways: the most of the apps take from 2 to 10 seconds to open when I tap on their icon, sometimes apps and videos lag, pretty often apps force crash.
I'm on Android 4.3 stock, stock kernel, never flashed anything different from stock ROMs, I just rooted it before but now it's not even rooted.
I don't even have many apps installed.
I'd like to know if there's something I can do to have back the fast phone I had 'til some months ago; I'd prefer not to do a full wipe (at least if there something else I can do).
Thanks
First Root your phone then install LagFix and trim your memory.

Just backup everything you've got and root + install a custom ROM, possible performance/battery life gains are totally worth it.

Can you suggest me any ROM in particular?
I'm not interest in having the newest OS with the coolest functions, but I want it to be the most stable possible with no FCs at all (obviously if it is possible to have this with some new cool features I'll be happier ).

Sure. I can recommend going with SlimKat. Its really fast, snappy, and the battery life is decent. Look no further than here
Well, thank you very much, I'll try it ASAP.
And regerding the backup how can I do it?
1) backup sms, contacts, call logs, etc by using super backup from play store. apps can be backed up with titanium backup.
2) copy everything from internal storage to pc
3) Unlock + root, install the rom and gapps
4) copy contents back
5) restore sms, contacts, etc with super backup. restore apps with titanium backup. later I also recommend installing greenify to prevent battery drain
You can shoot me a msg or post here if anything goes wrong or if you need any more help/explanations:good:

Thank you very very very much, you've been super kind.
I'll try later on today and will let you know how it went
I have to thank you all again, SlimKat gave new life to my GNex, it's just amazing!
I was even thinking of buying a new phone, but now i'll keep this one 'till it will stop working
Aaargh, talked too soon.
It's not a big problem but it's pretty annoying: after I restored the SMS with Super Backup I got the notification on the Messages app that I have 163 new SMS (the number of restored SMS) and there's no way I can remove the notification.
I also disabled the app since I use Hangout but the notification is still there.
It only disappeared when I cleared data from settings, but if I open Messages the notification appear again, and also if (without opening the app) I restart the phone.
Of course reading the SMS won't change anything
What should I do?
I have a completely stock phone & I was using nova launcher from day one but I turned back to the default launcher today and noticed a strange data in the 'shelf'. It was showing that I have low %age of storage left. At first I thought it must be a bug but then after some time I checked the storage in settings and thereafter confirmed this using the app "DiskUsage".
Could anyone help me out here? Kindly have a look at the screenshot I'm attaching.
In short, System data is using 27.3 GB of storage!!!
I suspect it may be due to the flash that I did some time back when I returned to complete stock from a rooted OnePlus 3. Though I followed the official website instructions.
Thanks guys for reading this message & I know someone out there will know about this as I'm not that lucky to encounter a completely unique bug :good:

Latest build should fix this.. If not do a clean install and stay on the latest build. Also if the issue persists try to move to EXT4. F2fs still has loads of weird issues..

Well, I got my latest .5 update yesterday and sadly it didn't solve it so I guess I have to format my phone again. Man, that's really a pain in the A. By the way, is this a common occurrence in OnePlus 3 software?
As far as ext and f2fs is concerned, I don't remember manually formatting my phone to f2fs so I guess it was nougat update which did this!
Thanks man!

Don't know... I haven't seen this issue yet..
hmm, I'll wait till the O update for a clean install as setting up few particular apps (mostly banking & two-factor authentication) is really a boring/huge task for me, plus few apps have just NO backup solution like the now-defunct but awesome keyboard Fleksy, Adguard user filters. I really think Android needs a good global backup function to sync basic things like android settings, SMS, Call logs.
Meanwhile, if anyone know a solution which doesn't include formatting the phone, please do tell me !

I dont really have a clue about titanium backup. Used it once way back when I had Galaxy Note 1.
I remember, it's UI was very complex and had a big learning curve but despite all this, isn't titanium backup a root only app?

but thank you for telling me about this app, may come in handy if I go back to root.

Thank you for your reply.
Ok folks, I've been googling for a while now and can't get a straight simple answer. I have an app, MoviePass, that once installed links to your Android ID and won't allow you to change but once per month. I didn't know this until already changing it once, so now I can't flash anything for another 30 damn days or the app won't work. Here's my question: How do I backup and then restore my Android ID? And before you answer , it has apparently changed in Oreo. I found a ton of posts showing how to do it with titanium Backup, but that method apparently no longer works in Oreo because of the changes made in how the Android ID is stored per app now or something. So please does anyone have a PROVEN method that you know 100% works that I can try ? I don't wanna downgrade to Nougat just to be able to do this lol. This app is holding me up from flashing awesomeness!
Stuck in the same boat.. I have to do a backup, then restore my old rom to use movie pass and then restore my backup. It's super annoying but at least it works. Hope there is a way to fix this for us who flash often

I actually managed to get it working. I have Titanium Backup Pro, not sure if you need that version or the free one, but I did a full backup of the app and then restored the app after flashing a new ROM and downloading Titanium Backup. The app restored, and MoviePass didn't give me any problems.

No problem! Yeah they changed the way Android ID worked and how it is associated with applications in O versus previous versions of Android. Glad it worked !
If you want to restore the Android id of a previous version on the same phone then you have to just Backup "Settings storage" and then restore it.
Is there anyway to get a complete backup without root. By complete I mean including the app configurations. I used to do this on my Nexus 6 with Titanium Backup. But I haven't rooted the Pixel 3 (or unlocked the bootloader) yet so I can't run Titanium.
My sense is that the google backup/restore just reloads the latest version of the apps without configuration (or at least seems to do that on many apps).
This is only a Pixel 3 question in the sense that my hope is that there is something new by now.
The only way besides using the cloud backup would to have a second phone running pie. Wipe it and set it up as new then use the transfer tool to transfer everything over. Then do the same to your pixel when you need the backup.
It's alot of work and most people don't have a spare phone, but it is an option

You could just unlock the phone and run a TWRP backup. Does not require root.
Of course, because you didn't unlock the phone when you received it, doing so now will wipe the device.

By the cloud backup, do you mean the built in backup to google drive? Does that really save all the app configuration? It certainly didn't when I did my Nexus 6 to Pixel 3 migration. Some of the apps came up as if they were first time installs.

I have tried and experimented with endless apps that promise to do this without success. Helium Backup works with very limited success in some cases and only for some apps. The problem is that it's not supported anymore and never really worked well. But this is one of the shortcomings of Android. I don't know why in 2018 (almost 2019) they still haven't figured out a way to backup all settings, app content and everything else without having to root the dam phone. To me, this is one of the main reasons why I rooted literally out of the box. I installed Titanium and had everything up and running in less than an hour. IMHO, it's worth wiping the phone, going through the headache once in your life and then ensuring you have the backup forever in a safe place. My previous phone was a rooted Note 4. I just transfered the Nite 4's Titanium backup to a USB-c drive, attached this drive to the new Pixel 3 Xl and recovered every single app and it's configuration in a matter of minutes. I have over 250 apps on my phone and some very specific configurations I like to use. The alternative would have been spending a day or two manually setting up each app and repeating it all over again each time I buy a new phone. I got tired of that in the past. Root is one of the main reasons why people get Pixels. Sadly, I don't know of any other way to effectively do it.

No there is not. You may try one of the many non-root backup programs like Swift Backup that are better at restoring app settings. That is why it is always better to unlock as soon as you get the phone. Any time at all spent setting the phone up is wasted until after it is properly unlocked. Google backup has come a very long way and it will quickly restore all your (Play) user apps but has many caveats as you have found. If the app data is small, it usually is restored, but if you have game data, MMS, music, etc. It obviously will not. The combination Google cloud backup + Titanium Backup (to restore missing apps and data) is the best way I have found when starting with a completely blank slate. In advance of a complete wipe, I transfer a copy of my latest TiBu folder to the PC, along with Nova Launcher backup. After initially setting the phone up (not using data transfer), I allow Google backup to restore until fully complete 100%. When it is done, I transfer the TiBu folder back on to the PC and run it to restore only missing apps and data. Lastly I use the Nova backup file to restore all launcher settings, shortcuts and widgets. This doesn't take very long and gets me to about 95%.

And the problem is you won't get notifications for many of the apps if they are restored using Titanium Backup
I get frustrated with Google backup and restore due to the fact that sometimes it does not restore everything during initial setup. Add to that that you can't do a manual restore such as SMS or Call Logs..... Trying to get in the habit of using SwiftBackup instead!
Yes, feel your pain! I using SMS Backup and Restore app for my SMS & Call logs...

Stock Gapps in stock firmware. Doesn't happen all the time but when it does it means factory reset and setup phone again which is lost time and effort.

You are lucky cause it does not even backup anything for me neither on stock or custom at all. Happens in both of my different phones. Been like this for couple of months. Swift backup is gucci

I get frustrated with Google backup and restore due to the fact that sometimes it does not restore everything during initial setup. Add to that that you can't do a manual restore such as SMS or Call Logs..... Trying to get in the habit of using SwiftBackup instead!

Same here. All google backup does for me is reinstall all my apps. I use sms backup and restore for text messages and call logs. I miss the days when I could restore everything with titanium backup, so I didn't have to log back into 37,000 different apps every time I flash a rom.

Yeah, I use SwiftBackup for apps and data, SMS and Call Logs as well. Better than Google for sure!

Can swift actually restore app data like titanium used to? Is swift basically the new titanium backup? I've been on hiatus for the last few years. Last time I was active here super partitions and a/b slots weren't a thing and titanium still worked.

It has worked well for me, including some app logins etc.... Rooted only though!

I'd say that, yes, Swift Backup is the new Titanium Backup. I've had absolutely no problem backing up and restoring all of my apps, as well as SMS messages, call logs, and wi-fi networks, on the latest and greatest Android releases. Titanium's biggest issue vis-a-vis app backups is that it doesn't support the new "split APK" format; every time it tries to restore one, it hangs. I'm pretty sure that some of its esoteric features still work, but given that it hasn't been updated since November 2019, and that its major use (app backup/restore) is crippled, I'd classify it as dead in the water.
