'Unknown Sources' option in stock ROM - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Question about restoring apps suing Titanium. Titanium needs the 'Applications --> Unknown Sources' box to be checked. But, on the stock ROM that option seems to have been taken away. Is there a way to enable it? And, how to restore apps using Titanium?

you need sideloading+root enabled on your phone. ignore the unknown sources box, ATT took that away from us. if you enable sideloading and root you should be ok to restore.

The Captivate does not have that option. You should just be able to run a batch and do apps/data that way. It has always worked for me. Just make sure usb debugging is on, and if you need to click the problems button and it will update your busybox which sometimes has has caused issues with Titanium backup.
You need to allow sideloading in order to allow titanium to restore apps. The only way to do this is change the sql info. Take a look at the wiki on sideloading on how to do it. Its pretty simple.
Titanium usage question......
I would like some info on the "create update.zip" option. Save as system or user app? And why? and then, name it update.zip and install thru regular recovery mode, or make it as Titanium.zip and restore it thru clockwork?
Nvm. It just installs titanium, not batched withall your backups restored.

Titanium Backup from JH7 to Cog 9.1.3

I'm considering flashing to cognition 9.1.3. I have already backed up my android id. But my question is:
Can I backup some of my apps with titanium and then restore them on cognition?
Thanks
I'm certainly no expert but i'm pretty sure thats how it works.

You can, but there are some you should not. Specifically, don't restore any that end with 2.1 update1 in the name. As you browse down through the list of files to restore, you may find 6-8. Specifically, some are Google apps.
Also, do not restore system settings.
I have had best luck if I unselect all red apps (typically system type apps); and the ones I mentioned above.

The gist would be restore missing apps only, don't do apps and system data to avoid problems.
Restoring all apps and system data can resort in continuous force.close messages and near inoperability. BE CAREFUL!!! best to just restore apps.

I use Titanium Backup before and after ROM flashes, or lots of app updates, and I haven't seen this issue on my Samsung Captivate. I have v3.6.7.1 of Titanium Backup running on a Pheonix ROM. Just to confirm, I re-ran the batch "backup all user apps + system data" and after it completed, checked the market "My apps" area. Everything shows as expected in the "My apps" area on my phone.
Well i have the 3.6.0 paid version sideloaded.. Im running darky..

[Q] Titanium Back Up question

I just installed Cog 3.4 and after the install i restored missing apps and data but 90% of my apps did not restore. They show up in tibu gray with a line drawn through them. If i click on one and try to restore it i get a pop up that says "what would you like to restore" any help would be great.
Click problem button on bottom. Make sure busybox is installed. Make sure usb debugging enabled
Reboot
Ok i just did that and it is still not working, Guess i will just have to download them all again from the market.
Could re download tibu
Did you try "restore user apps" instead of "missing apps?"
Also, make sure you have downloaded TiBu and TiBu pro from the market so you can do batch backups.

Yes i did try that option and same thing happens it goes through the process and says batch complete, but they are not installed.
Tibu is preloaded in Cog so i will have to remove it and try downloading from the market again. I will let you know if it works.
Ok just reinstalled Tibu and still no go. Everything seems to be working just fine other than Tibu. I give up.... off to the market to download all of my missing apps. Thanks for the suggestions.

Titanium Backup and Restore?

How does this work? I have a full Titanium Backup and I remove a few Apps if I do Full backup again will my Removed Apps be totally gone in the Backup Folder or are they still there from Original Backup? If they are still in the Backup is there a way to get them out so if I need to restore the Removed Apps don't reappear on my phone?
Thanks
They will remain there.
To remove them you can either scroll to the bottom in Backup/Restore and select each one then hit "Delete" or Menu->Batch->"Delete backups for un-installed apps" then Menu->Refresh apps list
To batch restore apps without restoring specific ones Menu->Batch->"Restore all apps with data" then uncheck the apps you don't want to restore, and begin.

To MAKE SURE they are still there you need to HIT the menu button once you have opened up Titanium Backup, then HIT Preferences, scroll down to MAX BACKUP and change it from the default (1) to whatever hou want/need. I have mine set to three. This way it can save older versions of the appear. I have found that on occasion the newer version of apps sometimes have an issue so I go and use the previous version saved. This will also keep your uninstalled appear at the bottom with a line through them. You can usually just click on the lined through app and hit restore. Then choose either app or app+data. Also I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND the paid version. It will do the batch restore with one click of the restore appear+data. The free version will also batch restore them all but it goes through each app and you have to say okay each time for each app. Specially if you start trying out different rims every couple days like a lot of us do. Also the paid version (not sure.of the free version) let's you back it up to the external sd card. You just go to preferences, backup folder name, then type in external_sd/ in front of the TitaniumBackup that is already there and it will automatically change it to mnt/sdcard/external_sd/TitaniumBackup.
JUST MAKE SURE whenever you restore NEVER choose to restore system app and data. ONLY restore app+data or you will end up with force closes.

I do not have the paid version but I have a question about the free version. After I backup all the apps and system data, I removed a system application such as "My Files" which didn't cause any problems. If I try to click on the backed up (crossed off in TB) to restore it, I do not have the option to restore.
Is this normal or should I be able to restore a system application that I have backed up?
I've never restored a system app, and maybe that's a paid feature. If there isn't a simpler method, it's pretty easy to copy back in if you're running a custom rom.
Open the customrom.zip, copy system/apps/MyFiles.apk from it and put it in /system/app on the phone.
There are around 50 way to do that. Via USB copy the file to the phone and then use Root Explorer to copy it from /sdcard to /system/apps for example. If you don't see it again in the apps folder, reboot.
I never thought to open the custom rom zip file. thank you!
A tangential question
I've done the TiBu backup but don't see quickoffice in the backup file. Does anyone know why?
