Not sure how well known this is, but after Titanium backup data restore, many applications (Whatsapp, Hangouts, ..) experience delayed/missing notifications, especially when restoring complete app data on a new device. Quick fix is to locate and delete this file
Code:
/data/data/app_name_folder/shared_prefs/com.google.android.gms.appid.xml
Force close the app, open it again and notifications will start working fine. This action forces re-connection with Google GMS server responsible for push notifications.
this works for me, i tried it on my redmi note 8, miui 11 global rom

If i restore Titanium backup on the same device then will I face this issue?

If it's after a factory reset, then yes. Otherwise you should be able to restore all app data without any side effects.
This works for me, thank you so much.

You need root access and newer Android versions (11+) have different path:
Code:
/data_mirror/data_ce/null/0/app_name_folder/shared_prefs
ok, i have root access out of the dev settings and i have android 12. do i need an file explorer app or is it some adb connection?
Root is granted by installation of Magisk, to browse system files you'll need a compatible file explorer - I'm using Total commander from Play store.

Hey guys,
i'm using 2.51 rom UK, but since the black status bar update (i think) i have installed an app called "GoMarket"
I tried to delete it, but it didn't work.
Wouldn't be a problem.
BUT, i realized that this app also catches the market links.
If i can't remove it, at least i want to rid of it catching my market links.
any advices? tips?
read somewhere, just removeing the apk from systen folder possibly messes everything up? don't need something yet. any confirms?
thanks a lot
assuming you've rooted your device, i think you can use titanium backup pro or adb to remove it.

Hey, Thanks, yep, I'm having root, don't own titanium backup pro yet,
How do u mean VIA adb?
Adb uninstall, will check it out right now
If its false please give some tip
Thanks
sent from my DEFY using XDA App
you could try uninstall for root ive used it to uninstall system apps before also some app require device administration permissions and you have to unselect them first to uninstall them the settings can be found in Settings>Location & security settings>Select device administrators
You just need to download titanium backup which is free version and locate that gomarket app in TB and click delete. Or use root explorer to go into system/app and locate that file n simply delete it.
thanks for the many resonses

dont find this option on my phone (as above, 2.51 stock 2.1)
to systems/apps delete it with command or root explorer,
question is, does this mess up may system? read about phones which don't start after deleting goMarket directly ;=)
would have been my first try
edit: thx
Do a nandroid backup if you're worried.
Titanium Backup doesn't work? Make sure you have an updated busybox (there's on on the Market).
I'm fairly new to the whole root/S-OFF/custom ROM world.
After flashing cmlusco's Touch of Blue ROM, I realized that it did not include Verizon's Backup Assistant. Makes complete sense to not include it, however, I found myself in a situation where I briefly needed it. No problem - I just flashed the Backup Assistant apk through recovery and was able to successfully use it.
Now I want to get rid of it. What is the recommended method for completely removing Backup Assistant? What is the safest method for removing it?
I appreciate any assistance/advice
Use a program like "Titanium Backup" to uninstall the Verizon app. It's free in the play store. Once downloaded, press:
1) Menu button
2) select Filter
3) then check "All apps" under filter status
4) check "User" under filter type
5) click Apply then find and uninstall the Verizon app.
Titanium Backup is very useful if you want to uninstall System apps or regular apps since it is a root app. Just be careful what you uninstall cuz you can uninstall virtually anything (widgets, apps, apk's) using this app.
Or you can just use a root file explorer to navigate to /system/app and delete or rename the VzWBAClient.apk, VzWBAService.apk, VzwLBSPerm.apk, and VZWInstaller.apk. Then reboot and it will be gone.

It's much faster/easier to just uninstall it with TB

This is what I ended up doing - thanks for the info.
I was originally going to use Titanium to accomplish this, but it gave a warning that important system files could also be deleted. Given that I've backed everything up, I assume that there wouldn't be any real issues even if Titanium did delete something critical.
Which brings up another question: is Titanium doing the same thing as manually deleting the 4 files listed above? I suppose I could test this by reinstalling Backup Assistant, using Titanium to uninstall, and looking to see what is left...

Basicly yes its doing the same thing just automating it for you. If you delete with titanium the files get deleted, if you freeze with titanium the files are either renamed or moved.

Any one use a backup app that works on this device?
Long time titanium backup user. Restored apps don't seem to work.
I swear lineage su don't quite work right on this device. "ES file Exporer Files manager" root option don't work to.
I love changing Roms but hate having to setup/login on all my apps every time
While we are on the topic why the hell dose google have an option to backup apps if it's not going to save the data as well. Total a waste of google drive storage. Might as well just save links to the apps on the store and restore that way.
Make sure you remount data and system folders r/w before backing up
Try this
Download total commander from playstore
Open app
Click 3 dots on top right & select configure
Scroll to bottom & select root function everywhere
Go back to folder selection screen
Click the icon on bottom right that has two squares and two arrows at diagonals to each other
A menu will pop up with and icon with an R and an icon with a plus sign
Goto the root of your phone
Grant superuser access
Press the R icon
It will change to rw
Goto data & system folders & make sure the icon remains rw
If it changes to R just press it so it becomes rw
Now that you remounted data and system as rw you should be able to access these from other apps
You will need to repeat if you restart phone

Never thought of of remounting as RW as titanium backup dose this on the fly. But going to give it ago. I'm not switching any more till I get this working. I'm getting close to just restoring the phone, locking the bootloader and sending it back to amazon

wondering if that would be an option for me but first i want to describe my situation:
(i hope its ok that i use this Thread, maybe a "Titanium Backup for Moto G5" -Thread would be have been ok? or maybe a Thread called "transfer user apps + system data from moto g3 to moto g5"? tho i dont even know what system data would help me transferring them...)
Well hello,
i want to switch from my rooted Moto G3(CM13.0/Android 6.0.1) to my new Moto G5(LineageOS 15.1/ Android 8.1.0) which i think is also rooted since i installed Magisk v16.0. In this process i want to import the following data from the G3 to the G5:
First of all the App "acalendar"(as most important). Secondly my 276 contacts. Thirdly maybe the SMS would still be cool to transfer.
The rest would just be optional since i use imap on my mail programs and telegram will be fine. Codecheck, with the pastly checked articles, would be fun to see being transferred.
With Titanium Backup I did on my G3 a Backup all user apps+ system data" and copied from my sd card the data to my G5 SD Card already. Because i am scared i do something wrong i didnt restore files yet due to my considerations:
1) Titanium Start Page shows the following:
Root access: ok
HyperShell(FAST!): YES
Fast/Auto app install: NO(HyperShell needed)
backup directory: ok
- i am about to try SuperSU in order to get HyperShell going or wouldnt that be necassary?
2) can the different OS(export/import, respective backup/restore) be a problem? does that work at all over 2 different devies?
3) my G3 has a lot outdated apps and for my G5 i got the newest ones (e.g. acalendar v.1.8.4 on G3, towards G5's acalendar v.1.17.2)- i am curious if that turns into a problem.
4) system data required at all? and is that even possible between two different devices/ OS?
now i wonder whats the proper go on procession.
Would i just be able to restore (the G3 titaniums' data copied to G5's SD Card) ?

I believe to use the fast/auto app install option you need the premium version of the app
Don't forget you also need to install busybox

It maybe easier to see if the app itself you want to restore has its own backup option
For example all google apps back up their data so when you sign in on a new device you can restore and sync your data eg contacts google calendar etc
When it comes to sms - get an app called sms backup and restore - this backups up sms to an xml file or something similar and then transfer this to the other phone then you use the app to restore

---------- Post added at 07:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:58 PM ----------
is there a [GUIDE] for titanium backup? (i searched and searched but didnt find one)
cause one tiny reason besides the other plenty ones is that idont understand why i needed now busybox
also to see behind TB it would be cool to read everything from the beginning...
---------- Post added at 07:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:06 PM ----------
feel like describing all now step-by-step what i am doing (while i want to restore user- data on my G5 from my G3)
(and i am scared of breaking something ...)
anyway, opening titanium backup
going to Batch actions - ALL
pressing RUN , under backup all user apps+system apps(i know i shall not transfer system apps between ROMs!)
so i "DESELECT ALL"
and enable the following (which i think i need):
1) <app>aCalendar 1.8.4 [white highlighted by TB]
2)<app>Codecheck 3.6.2-168(i am a bio guy:laugh: ) [white highlighted by TB]
3) Contacts Storage 6.0.1 (CONTACTS/CALLS) [green highlighted by TB]
4) Phone and Messaging Storage 6.0.1 (SMS/ MMS/ APN) [green highlighted by TB]
5) Wi-Fi Access Points [green highlighted by TB], tho wouldnt need that so badly but its nice if it works
so i wonder whats the matter with the white, green, yellow and red highlighted elements/ am i running towards a problem with system data here?
did i select now system apps?
it seems that white elements are apps i installed myself
and the stuff i need is all green.. so am i good to go there?
Next step is to transfer the 2 datas for each element, e.g. aCalendar with
org.withouthat.acalendar-20180324-010636.properties
and
org.telegram.messenger-20180324-010640.tar-gz
from my G3 to my G5 SD Card
then i will be curious if i can restore the "user" -data( where would the path be anyway? - but i think i will find it somehow)
will i need to install the aCalendar app myself before? -what happens if i restore data for an app i dont have
thats the little sum questions that keep me busy and i wish i had a [GUIDE] titanium Backup to give it a try to understand it in a whole.
happy about every input i can get here :cyclops:
---------- Post added at 07:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:33 PM ----------
just saw a Contacts 6.0.1
which i would add as 6) element to restore
but i spare that for now since its [red highlighted by TB]
-maybe that means it is a system data?
<<<<<<which i shouldnt restore over different ROMs>>>>>>>
---------- Post added at 08:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:40 PM ----------
So i started now on my G5 ( - new installed LineageOS 15.1 + Magisk, included titanium backup+ busybox - ) titanium backup,
i had no other app installed yet and was curious which restore options TB would give me.
( the backup data i had to copy in the internal storage in the TB folder. Restoring from SD card if its possible at all requires to change settings)
So at first only the following showed the " 1 backup " massage:
- Contact storage 8.1.0 (COntacts/CAlls)
- Phone and Messaging...1.0 (SMS/MNS/AON)
- Wi-Fi Access Point
<didnt try restore yet>
And after i installed aCalendar
It was added on the restore list with the " 1 backup " message
And thats what i tried to restore first.
Unfortunatly my old and my future entrances werent added in the aCalendar APP..
Heeeeelp!
in TB, restoring aCalendar 1.8.4
was the mistake!!
there is the element "calendar storage 6.0.1 (CALENDAR) [green highlighted by TB]
once i installed the new app i was able to restore the element and all my past and future entrances were added! Yipie!
[in TB it was interesting to see how easy and smooth it works.. even if you restored something wrong you could just wipe it and the app worked again:good:]
and for the contatcs, very easy, i imported a .vcf data and import.
the SMS i spare for now but TheFixItMan gave an app for that.

You can't backup to your PC. The best you can do is go into settings and backup your settings to Google drive /mi account and WhatsApp backup and other app's internal backup features. Also copy all your photos and files onto your PC. Other then that you will lose a small amount of data

You can do app data backup and restore only if you have root and for root you need an unlocked bootloader. So no easy way out of this

What is the best backup solution that can backup appdata and apps and system settings?
Google backup? I've been wondering this myself, but haven't found anything but Google's backup/restore. :|
For apps and their data, i suggest SwiftBackup. You connect it with your google account for cloud backup (paid) or create a local folder that you can tranfer to usb drive (free) and use it to restore back to your phone or any other device.
It also backs up call logs and messages and wifi networks.

The best I've seen(must be root) Swift Backup(Google play store). You can back up messages, call logs, and most importantly apps, app data, ext data, system apps, ext data. Awesome app and easy to sync to dropbox, drive, etc.

I had issues with Migrate on an older phone as well (OP 7Pro) , but so far on this phone it has been solid.
Does anyone know of any apps that can do incremental backups of only modified data? I've used Swift Backup but it doesn't seem to be an option. Swift has an option to back up only "updated apps" but I could care less whether the apk was updated... I'd like something that can back up only apps with modified data on a nightly basis, the way I used to do with Titanium Backup on earlier versions of Android.

I'd like something that can back up only apps with modified data on a nightly basis, the way I used to do with Titanium Backup on earlier versions of Android.

Did not see any option for that in the app. You can do it manually by renaming theold backup folder and redoing existing backup option. I think that would work.

Wouldn't that just back up everything again? Or maybe I don't follow what you mean.

Yes, back up everything again but since you rename the old backup folder you end up with 2 incremental backup. At least that how i see it but it would be a pain to do that if you want nighly backups.
The only other idea may be to set a scheduled backup (paid). Just took a look, it say you can have customisable backups in premium (which i don't have) maybe someone can tell us what that contains?

You're talking about multiple backups, I'm talking about incremental/differential backups, where only modified data is backed up. The purpose is for smaller size and faster backups so they can be run daily or even multiple times a day. I save my backups to google drive and "all apps" is about 20 GB for me. It's insane to upload that much every single night when most of it hasn't changed, but I want my backups always up to date for the next time my phone is bricked unexpectedly. I do have premium, but the option to back up only modified data isn't there. I'm looking for an app that can do that, like Titanium Backup did flawlessly.
