I'm trying the Pure CE Rom...and up on trying to restore with titanium backup, it seems to install between 5 and 30 apps and then freezes.. I've tried copying my backup files to my internal storage, and am getting the same problem.
Anyone else seeing this? Any suggestions?

It's not wise to batch restore apps between different roms. You're experiencing an incompatibility of apps between 2 different roms. If you watch your batch restore process you can see what app is not restoring. Uncheck that app and repeat the batch process until it hangs on another incompatible app. Uncheck that one and repeat the process until it finally completes.
Some tips for ya. NEVER restore system apps. They are red in color. You may experience bugs or glitches. Some apps that are yellow like bookmarks, Wi-Fi passwords, etc won't restore all the time. Some white apps that you previously installed on say a 4.3 rom may not restore on a 4.4 rom properly. Bugs or glitches may occur. Titanium backup works best when restoring to the same rom. If you experience bugs or glitches, perform a factory reset and refrain from restoring apps and data together. For the best experience, let all the apps install themselves from the Play Store. Then batch restore data to the apps that NEED data restored.
I'm already on 4.4... so I would think they would all be compatible... plus I just start ttb over, and the app that it froze on installs fine..

I have been using "Titanium backup for root" to backup and restore my apps, between the million ROM installs . However, I find it a bit annoying that you have to hit "Install" and "Done" for each app. And, if you have a billion apps installed , it's just pain.
I could always pull the apps from "/system/apps" & "/data/apps" and push them once I flash a new ROM. But would that restore the app data?
Does anybody have any better ideas?
Buy TB from market, it has more features including what you're asking for.

I haven't tried it yet, but this is another app that's basically like the paid version of Titanium Backup, but free
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.rerware.android.MyBackupRoot
Thanks guys... trying MyBackup... lets see how it goes.
After dealing with frustration after frustration with apps and HC, I decided to switch over to CM7. I backed everything up with Titanium Backup Pro then did a nandroid, then installed CM7 release 29. Everything went great with the install but I can not restore any of my backed up apps.
When I go to my backup/restore list, then select an app to restore, I get the dialog for app only or app + data. If I hit app only, it comes back and says that "App restore complete" but when I look at my drawer, the app is not there and in TB Pro, it still has the line through the listed app. If I hit restore app + data, I get the message App + Data restore failed. I've tried downloading the apps from the Market, then trying to just restore the data but that doesn't work either. I get the message that says it's complete but when I load the app the first time, no settings have been changed.
I also tried going into root explorer, changing the /system/app directory to R/W but that doesn't seem to make a difference. I've updated su and busybox from within TB and using the stand alone apps. I've tried unmounting and remounting the sd card. I've tried rebooting. Nothing seems to work. Any suggestions?
I have the nandroid so I can go back to HC and try an alternate backup method but I'd love to get this just to work.
The version of Titanium Backup that I am using is 3.7.4.1.
Thanks.

There are three options in the Problems? menu.
Check Wiki
Update Busybox
Update Superuser
I looked at the wiki and it didn't provide an answer to this problem. I updated Busybox again and Superuser was already updated.
I have TB set to keep 3 backups. I went and did another backup then verified all backup files. Over 100 files, including some that I just backed up under CM7, came up corrupt.
Any ideas why the majority of files backed up are corrupt? Clearly depending on TB to backup apps on the Nook was a bad idea.

I'm having this problem as well. TB has never worked on any of my roms. I usually try to do a lot of searching before I post, I'm usually not the first to have problems. But I can't seem to find a solution anywhere.
I think you have to go into settings and into application settings then tick the box to allow unknown sources.
So, I flashed a bad kernel yesterday and today had to revert back to a nandroid backup I made before flashing.
But, I had installed some apps, etc. last night so I wanted to restore all of my apps and data that backed up at 3am last night.
So, after i restored the nandroid backup, I did a "restore all apps and data" from Titanium Backup.
However, during my lunch break, I went to play Angry Birds Rio and it was as if I had never played it before. None of my scores were there anymore.
Every night at 3am, I have Titanium Backup do the following batch operations:
Backup all new apps & newer versions.
Backup all system data.
What gives? Am I doing something wrong?
Losing game data isnt a big deal, but I want to make sure I'm doing the right thing in the future.
Thanks!
Hopeful bump.
Have you tried uninstalling AB and doing another restore of just AB?
Do any of your other apps no longer have your data, or just AB?

Well, its weird...
Angry Birds Rio is the one where my data was lost.
I opened up the original Angry Birds earlier and my data still remained!
Do you think it could be something with the specific app that doesnt allow the data to be saved?
i posted a similar question in another thread. i tried moving the data from my og droid over from titanium and the only apps that did werent were angry birds and angry birds season
Are u using the free version or the free version and the pro key. Iv been using titanium since d1 and I always had that problem. Sometimes the data wouldn't load. Forget my exact method now but until I purchased the pro key, because I was tired of approving the apps manually, it would do that.
With the pro iv not had that problem. I always install system data then apps and data. Remembering to restart just after titanium is installed first elswise it doesn't see that u have done it

Remember that backing up all new apps and newer versions doesn't mean those that you change settings on. That backs up apps you have added since the last time you backed up or apps that have been updated through the market to a newer version.

Interesting...so if Angry Birds gets backed up with 1 level beaten and the next day I beat 3 more levels, will Titanium backup the data that says I beat the other 3 levels?
Not unless u back it up again.

OK so I'm trying to figure out what the best options are for backing my phone up every night.
Which of these should i do:
Redo backups for newer app versions
Backup all new apps & newer versions
Backup all user apps
Backup all system data
Backup all user apps & system data
Forced redo of your backups
Currently, I'm doing Backup all new apps & newer versions. Also doing Backup all system data. Is that wrong?
I should mention that angry birds resides on my SD card, does that make a difference in the backup or restore process?
I restored Badland with TiBackup and it doesn't save my progress when I complete levels. I tried fixing permissions with Rom Toolbox, I tried TB Restore Fixer, and I also tried toggling Badland from a user app to a system app and back in hopes for it to fix it...
I still cannot save my progress.
Any tips on getting this fixed?
Thanks!
As a test I uninstalled the restored version of the game and installed it from the Play Store. Progress is now saved when I complete levels but since I didn't restore with TiBackup I'd have to start all over.
Hope this helps someone help me.
Any ideas maybe a suggestion of where I'm more likely to get an answer?

I don't know anything about the game badlands. But Titanium Backup will not restore appdata for some applications. For example TB will not restore data for Dropbox, Opera Mobile browser and Twitter. I have no idea why
Semi Newb here, bear with me (came from IOS). Im having trouble with the restore process after I flashed a Rom for the first time (Pure Shamu). Prior to flashing the ROM is was on stock 5.0, unlocked, rooted. The process I went through to flash Pure Shamu.....1. Full Wipe 2. Wipe Cache 3. Flash Pure Shamu 4. Flash GAPPS 5. Flash SuperSU 6. Reboot. After I rebooted, I was asked to enter a password for Android. Upon searching, I found out this was do to the fact I was still encrypted. Wasn't positive how to get unencrypted without flashing a new kernel so I went ahead and flashed Franco Kernel. Everything then booted normally.
This is where I ran into problems with Titanium. I went to the Play Store and downloaded Titanium and proceeded to restore from the backup I created when I was stock. I made a back up of "all user apps + system data" The restore process seemed to go smoothly but once it was complete, hardly any of my apps actually restored. There is a huge list of apps in Titanium that are greyed out and and have a line strike though them. Im really not sure why this is happening. From what I have searched, I guess I can just redownload all of these apps from the PlayStore, but that seems like it defeats the purpose of backing stuff up. There are also items that are listed that aren't apps, ex: "Android System WebView, Android Work Assistant" among many others. I don't know what these do but they must do something since they were backed up.
I feel like Im banging my head against the wall with this whole process of flashing ROMS and restoring everything on the phone. The whole process seems very convoluted and not streamlined at all. I hear about people flashing different ROMS almost daily and it makes me wonder how they have the time. The actual flashing process is quick but this restore process has taken me forever. Maybe Im just doing it all wrong. If anyone could offer some advice, I'd be greatly appreciative. Thanks
1. Never restore system apps with TB!
2. Grayed apps with strike are not installed but you can restore them,
white apps are already installed/restored,
red and yellow aps are system apps.

Can you elaborate on that please? Why should I never restore system apps from TB? How would I prevent them from restoring?
Also what are all these other things that are greyed out that are not apps.
When you restore system apps, it usually comes to problems because the version of this can be different.
To restore user applications only, go to batch and restore all applications and data and uncheck all system apps.
For me there are no other gray things.

Sorry to drag this topic up again but I had one more question regarding backups. Is titanium also supposed to backup media (music, photos, videos, etc). From what I can see it is only for backing up apps and texts/call logs etc. It also doesn't appear to backup any settings within apps (maybe it should and isn't?).
What is the best way to backup media besides just keeping a copy on my comp and dragging it to device storage?
If anyone can assist me, that would be great. Thanks
