I wonder if there anyway to use titanium backup on another user (multiuser on 4.2)? I want to used my whatsapp on other user but... I can't get it work... I try to install it directly... But i can't get it work either...
Cause it refuses to read device_id file... Access denied even though i change the permission on the file already...
I used it on my primary user without problem... Cause i can just restore it using titanium backup....
Any advice? Thanks...

I don't think it's possible to gain root access in the additional user accounts. Not yet anyway.
The author is working on multi user backups (according to the play store link/info from the last update). It's gong to take them a little time.
Yeah... i read that also... hopefully it'll work soon... i need root to deactivate some apps from the rom too...

I thought copy the data files from the primary user to secondary user will make it work.... but it didn't work that way... or i might make a mistake somewhere else...

I flash a lot. I'm getting sick of manually reinstalling apps. I used mybackup pro but it seems like it would forget apps. Right now I'm using AppBrain. Is there any way to back up all apps then reinstall them from the back up and have them run like nothing ever happened?
android should install them automatically once you link your phone with your google account. Other then that not that I know of, unless you move all apps to sdcard.
I think it only does that on the stock rom.
nope, did it for CM6 and Enomthers rom (sorry i cant remember how to spell it)

Hi there. After deleting the clock app from my note I have been sent the apk again to reinstall. However aftrr pushing file into system/app i cannot get it to install and it does not show up in app drawer. I have permissions set at RW R R but still nothing.
Am I doing something wrong? All help appreciated.

Bit more info on this. I am on LQ2 with Root and standard kernel.
Only thing i havent done that I can think of is to simply reload LQ2 and start again but this seems a bit much for the sake of an alarm clock. I have installed a basic clock from market but i much predfered the stock clock.

Haven't you got a backup which includes the clock? Always do backups with titanium backup before removing system apps.
In case you got titanium backup pm me your email address and I will send you my backup of the clock. I think this is the simplest way.

Yeah i realise now that i should have done a back up but i deleted the wrong app whilst i was cleaning up and didnt realise till later.

Did you reboot after pushing the apk and setting permissions? It has to be done for changes to take effect.
Yeah rebooted and cleared davlik cache as well.
I think the problem might be that there is still parts of the alarm or clock app left in the the registry or system/app folder but I cant find them. For time being i downloaded a copy of the Clock app from tge Nexus and it works fine.

Sending you titanium backup of clock, place it to titanium backup folder and restore it.
Check PM after some time.

I did exactly the same. Sent it to him by email. No response yet whether it worked or not.
Hey guys thanks for reply. Not had a chance to try back up yet but should get time later tonight and will let you know.

Ok so tried to do a backup and titanium says its reinstalling app but just stays at that sort of buffering circle for as long as i care to leave the phone to run. In titanium the backup shows being available for backup with the smiley face etc. I can see titanium getting su access etc as well but just not reinstalling.
Might need to admit defeat lol.

I was using Titanium Backup Pro and was integrating updates into system apps and i lost my messaging app. Titanium backup says it is still installed but i cant open it and i cant uninstall it either.
I'm currently getting by with Handcent but i want my stock app back.
Can anyone help me get my messaging app back or do i have to stick with Handcent?
Any help is appreciated.

Only thing I think of is flash a new rom or reflash the one your using and your messaging app should show up

I would have tried that but i'm scared ill brick my phone. i have bad luck when it comes to doing things like this. i pink screened my iPod once.
Download a custom ROM, download "File Manager HD" from Market, enable root access in the settings and push Mms.apk from Custom ROM Zip into system/app
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app
If i do that will I lose any of the data on the internal SD? I was thinking of doing factory reset but I'd lose all the stuff on my internal SD
Sent from my GT-I9000M using xda app-developers app
Factory reset only deletes the apps, system and accounts. If you are still on Froyo, I'd recommend you to flash a Gingerbread ROM, or even an ICS one. You can backup your apps with some file managers too, but you'll lose all user data from them.
But as long as you don't wipe "sdcard" you'll keep all your music, photos and documents stores on your internal memory, even after dozens of flashes.

Do you think you could help me through the flashing process? Or send me a link to a guide I could use

Have you tried flashing a nandroid backup, one before any password was set.
Dont have one . Any other ideas?

Not sure but I believe if try to sign in half a dozen times or so it will allow to assign a new password.

But on another note IF YOU TOOK THE TIME TO SEARCH you would find that there are a couple of ways around the security features BUT you have to know how to use adb commands
Sent from my AOKP M6 TouchPad using TapaTalk 2
do a backup in cwm recovery backup. then do a cwm factory reset, then in the fresh new clean cm9 use an app that will allow you to extract apps and data from the recovery. i use the app manager that came with rom toolbox pro. but its a paid for app i dont know if the lite version has that feature. but if you dont have rom toolbox pro you should. the app manager will let you restore any app, app+data or just data from the apps in your cwm backup. problem solved.
this is something I wrote for the lock pattern, but it will apply to any other lock method

I received the SGH-i957 for work and they told us not to add any weird apps. What I want to do is remove some the crappy AT&T apps to use less resources. I have rooted an EVO 4g and a HTC Arrive Windows Phone as well as my old HTC Touch Diamond. I have been reading the different threads and I am just curious what you guys think the best method is?
It really doesn't use more resources

I appreciate your response but I would still like to root it.

If your work said to not mess with apps then I wouldn't really root it.
If you don't care about that, then just follow the rooting thread. I personally like the kernel root method

I will go into more detail I guess. I want to backup how they gave it to me and run it custom, be it remove apps or a new rom. I am worried about some kind of privacy issues. With my HTC Evo 4g I could backup the original rom completely and then uninstall programs or install a new rom.

Flash twrp and make a nandroid backup then do your root process.
Sent from my SGH-I727 using xda premium
Yeah, I am definitely rooting it. It is ungodly slow with only a few programs on it and it keeps using at&t data even though I have removed all widgets and have very few apps installed. I know that know one wants to hear me say this but every time I use Android I dislike it more and more. I am sorry if I offend anyone.

Ok, I got permission from the boss to root and either clean up the stock rom, remove crap, or load a custom rom. So should I just follow the guide in this and if I have to run a custom rom use the on in this thread. Do I have to use the twrp and nandroid backup to make a backup? Or can I restore the stock rom buy using Method 2 after I follow the Method 1 in the root guide?
