After a nightly update of Cyanogenmod 11 my camera would crash after trying to open it. Then I found out that Titanium Backup also crashed. I went to an older nightly but they still crashed. I tried deleting data, reloading nightly , and restoring and camera still crashed. I went back to the newest nightly and had lost lots of my apps ( yes I had missed doing a couple backups !) . I was able to delete Titanium Backup using Play Store and reinstall but it still crashed. Then I tried deleting just the Titanium Pro Key - and then Titanium Backup ran !!! It suggested I update to SuperSU so did that , then reinstalled Pro Key and it ran. Then I used Titanium Backup to backup camera , and then deleted camera data. It worked ! Camera works.
Hope this helps someone else avoid some of the time it took me to figure it all out .
power shutter was culprit
I figured out what made the camera mess up . It was from selecting the "power shutter " option ( using the power button to take a photo ). If I selected that option the camera would not open up. Erased camera data and camera worked fine again.

i realize there are already threads on this but rather than have this post lost on page 3 or post 57 i thought i would post a new thread from what i learned tonight. i am SO for searching before posting and not for creating new threads when existing ones exist that if any MOD here feels this is not relevant of a new thread then please move it or whatever into an existing thread.
ok here is what will help others that catch it before i did but now i will have to start over again next time
i SBF'd thinking it would be needed (locked and no root) for update 3.0.1 and so after i didnt get the update i went ahead and unlocked, root, and updated myself to 3.0.1.
i choose not to install from backup with Google this time and was installing everything for from scratch and as you know it doesn't install your apps and you have to search/remember the free ones to get them back.
anyway
i had installed about 10 apps then Titanium installed and i checked it and realized that everything i installed after i installed Titanium showed up as apps in Titanium as installed.
so i uninstalled all my apps prior to Titanium install and reinstalled them all and sure enough they were there in Titanium as installed apps YEAH!!!
everything was there and my thought was to go ahead and set all my app passwords etc.. up so that when i backed up with Titanium it would be as i wanted and easy to restore.
here is where i messed upped but would have had no idea until after i did it.
i installed Spare Parts and turned off Compatibility Mode so that my non-Tablet apps would be full screen and to make this take effect i needed to reboot.
the reboot caused me to loose all my listed apps in Titanium and i was back to square 1
if i had done a backup before i had rebooted i would have had everything because Titanium recognized them before my reboot.
so if i had it to (and probably will) do all over again i would:
1. unlock
2. root
3. choose not to backup from Google
4. installed Titanium
5. installed all my apps (checking Titanium along the way to be sure)
6. ran all the apps i installed with names, passwords, etc.. to set them up
7. backed up Titanium
8. install spare parts etc..
9. then reboot. THE KEY is not to reboot until you have everything backed up.
this would have saved me from starting over again until something better like a fix or solution came along.
hope this helps others
This is a problem with all of the current versions of busybox. The one from the market and the one that Titanium Backup installs do not work on the Xoom. I compiled up a busybox from the source last night and it works with TB. The problem seems to be with the 'find' and probably the 'cp' commands. I talked with Stephen and he is going to release a new busybox installer to the market that should fix the problem.
Hello. Today I discovered that my camera stopped working - write camera error and that the camera end. I did a factory reset and restore backup titanium, but restatru gone again. Does anyone know what to do?
when you do the restore are u restoring also the system app ?
pls do wipe factory reset and when you wan restore from titanium choose restore missing apps not restore all the apps try it and it will work
It works! Thanks a lot! I became very desperate, the perception and the subsequent manually reset the settings I stated in despair. You saved me!
Even more so to know what actually happened.
Edit:
Strange, it seems that the problem does freeze applications using titanium backup. But why so suddenly? So far nothing like this happened ... Error Titanium backup? And what happens if you uninstall?
no problem , always when you want to do your backups , don't choose all the apps , choose user apps with data , this will prevent you from backing up your system apps , cuz if u installed new rom , probably not the same system apps will work for it ...
cheers
I'm getting the sameerror message when I try to open my camera app as well. I've factory reset it several times, only restored user apps and data from Titanium but it's still not working. I even tried to replace just the camera app from my Titanium backup with the same results (none).
I recently had a problem with my SGT losing the ability to rotate. After searching Google and the XDA forums I was able to locate a copy of the sensor file I needed to replace the one I had on my Tab. Would the same thing work for the camera - replacing the apk file (same with my GPS )?

I have CM10 from nadlabak http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1941570 and since I installed new builts (from 20130205) Instagram stopped working. I can see picture of others, take a photo, pick a picture from gallery, but when the image should load for applying effects I see only grey screen and filters, no picture which should be edited. Any ideas?
Did you wipe cache and dalvik-cache before the update?
You can also try to delete the data of the instagram app from the Settings. Corrupted data can cause this kind of problems.
I always wipe cache and dalvik-cache before update, I tried tu uninstall instagram and install it again, tried to uninstall instagram, update ROM and install it back, tried to restore nandroid backup, where it was working and update ROM...and nothing, still the same problem
so, the problem is v3.4.1 and v3.4.2, when I downgrade to v3.4.0 it is working again...
the same for me
I installed CM 10.1.3 (with much problems), but finally got it working.
I did also install gapps-jb-20130812
and used Google Play to reinstall Titanium Backup Root.
Now I am trying to get my backups restored. but Titanium Backup
stops always, a few seconds after starting
I was unable to change the backup directory, or do anything much with it,
as it keeps stopping..
Has anyone seen the same and may have a solution?
is there a way to install the Titanum Backups manually (w/o Ti)
as I can access the directory..

I always have problems with the free version of titanium backup but when I tried out the payed version it worked fine.
Set the screen timeout to max and then leave it to restore everything.
Note that you should never restore system apps data unless you know what you are doing. In theory you shouldn't also restore app data from different android versions but you can do it and if you come across any problems then just clear the problematic apps data.
This is the paid, root version. I cannot even get it to do anything, ecause it just stops (even if I don't do anything after starting it)
Hello,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S III mini VE N, GT-I8200N which is rooted.
Those last days, it was unstable (reboot loops) and decide to reinstall it by reflash it and restore the application data.
For that, I used Titanium Backup Pro, where I created an update.zip file with all applications. And I also did a full backup on the external SD card.
So :
1. wipe the data
2. reflash a ROM from Sammobile
3. re-root the phone + update.zip with all data in recovery mode
4. reconfigure the system settings (I didn't dared restore the system settings from a corrupted system backup, only the apps).
Everything seemed ok, but once I reboot the phone, I see Titanium Backup launches a scheduled restore, that restores everything, including the system settings. And after that, I get the same problems as before : boot loops, application that crashes : clock, Google Play Services, Skype, ...
I am sure the problem is related to that automatic scheduled restore from Titanium : if I do steps 1-4 (skipping 2 because), restore only user apps and data, and fast uninstall Titanium, I can use my phone as before.
I even removed TitaniumBackup folders, but Titanium Backup still seems to find some backup somewhere.
And I see it keeps my settings from previous, because I checked the "persist" setting.
Is there a way to erase all data from Titanium Backup, especially that ghost restore scheduled job?
I don't seem to find a similar problem on the forum or other websites...
Kind regards,
Xavier.
EDIT: FIXED by myself : I removed Titanium Backup related data /storage/extSdCard/data/ and in /data/data by finding "com.keramides" and "titanium".
The app has forgotten its corrupted settings and is working fine now.
