[Q] Titanium Backup (TiBu) from 4.4.4 to 5.0 - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey all, i haven't found a thread about this yet:
Will TiBu restore apps/data from a 4.4.4 ROM (OnePlus One CM11 Stock) correctly on 5.0?
There are really only a few apps i'm concerned with but i'd love to also know if TiBu will restore my SMS's as well coming from 4.4.4
Thanks all!

Yes to both of your questions. Just have the updated titanium backup from the play store and then you're set.

TiBu isn't working for me. When I try to backup I immediately get the "insufficient storage" error. My sdcard shows up fine and I have at least 10GB of storage left, anyone know what the problem could be?

Works for me, did you change the backup location?

Nope. Ran it without changing anything from default and still the same problem

xperia Z troubles

Hi,
I have serious troubles with my xperia Z phone and i would be very happy if someone could help me. So this is my story:
After i bought my new xperia Z and had it for several months i wanted more of it so i rooted it. then i found an backup app for rooted phones (Titanium Backup). So i backed up my whole phones files with Titanium Backup and exerything worked properly. After a time the new software was out and i was asked to update the existing software. Whithout thinking about it a lot i did so and at first nothing happend. After a while i rebooted it once and the phone and contact icon disappeared. So i opened Titanium Backup and restored my loses. Unfortunately i had to do this each and every time i rebooted my phone and tried uninstalling and reinstalling Titanium Backup a few times but nothing changed so i thought it would stop with time. Then Jelly Bean 4.2.2 came out and it asked me again if i wanted to update my software and so i did. After updating the icons disappeared again and when i tried to restore these again (from Titanium Backup) it just loaded forever and never restored them and i also cant restore anything else from my backup. So i thought that maybe this ****y app just kept updating my backed up files without asking me and that the newer firmwares doesnt support the backuped files from another firmware so it stucked. What can i do now? Should i downgrade me phone two updates down then restore everything, update and make a new backup or something like this?
Thank you and i hope somebody can follow my problem and have an idea how to fix the hole problemm....:crying:

[Q] help

Hey guys
how can I make a backup of my games progress and apps data
My phone is not roooted now
and what exactly sony backup and restore app backs?
I want to flash kitkat and i don't want to lose my progress in asphalt 8
thanks
Sony backup stores all app data including save games but a backup for older android version won't work in new one i.e. Kitkat.
The best option is to root and use Titanium Backup.
P.S. If you are on stock 4.3 and cant root, you can backup all your apps via Sony backup and then downgrade to 4.2. The backup from new version works on old version (surprisingly). Then just root and use Titanium backup.
You may need to give Helium a try.

[Q] Solution to Wifi Authentication Problem?

I have a Nexus 6 64GB running Android 5.0.1 (LRX22C) - I have a problem where I will get disconnected from Wifi - or sometimes when getting to home / work when it tries to join the network it will say there is an "authentication problem". If I go into the Wifi settings and connect again it always works.
I also have a Nexus 5 using Android 5.0.1 and don't have this problem - anyone else having this problem / know of a fix for Nexus 6?
Thanks!
I only see this just after finishing a Titanium Backup.
rooted/decrypted 64GB...running lots of ROMs.

After restoring from a Titanium Backup? I haven't restored from a Titanium Backup. I do run backups using Titanium Backup.
I tried doing a factory reset, but that didn't help.
I am rooted, decrypted, but not running a ROM (stock 5.0.1) - I did need to fastboot flash the 5.0.1 image to get from 5.0 to 5.0.1. The problem existed in 5.0 for me as well - but upgrading to 5.0.1 did not fix it. I ran the factory reset after upgrading to 5.0.1 didn't fix the problem - and it didn't help.
I do let Google restore my apps from their cloud backup when I sign in during the initial setup.
I've experienced the same issues on my nexus 5 for weeks now since the update to lollipop, I have tracked it to the scheduled nightly titanium backup that i run on my device. Previously wifi has failed nightly on my device.
To prove this then while connected to home wifi perform a manual backup through tb of the yellow (xml) system->Wifi access points and you'll watch you'll WiFi drop and then fail with the authentication error as the backup competes.
This obviously needs reporting to tb devs not Google, as I've done previously.
I plan to use a tasker script to restart wifi following the nightly tb back up and then separately sync the backup to Google using an additional tb scheduled task.
Thanks! I realize now what Skripka was trying to say with his post. This is definitely part of the problem - I'm not sure if this is entirely the problem as I see the "Authentication problem" when a Titanium Backup is not running. For example when I get to work, I will notice I am not connected to Wifi and when I look at the Wifi settings I see the "Authentication problem" - but when I try to reconnect it connects immediately. The same has happened when I arrive home.
I did submit a support ticket for Titanium Backup to see if they can fix the problem on their end.

You're completely right the issue is described here
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=81896
Looks an android OS issue which can be triggered by tb, although that post provides a work around for tb backups to avoid this issue

Thanks again - hopefully they fix this soon. I upvoted the Google Issue and reported that I am having the problem on my Nexus 6 as well.
In the meantime, I excluded the wifi profiles from my scheduled Titanium Backup so that will help a little bit at least.
This still happening to me
Rooted, unencrypted, stock Rom, running latest Franco kernel.
I only TB backup weekly.
Has the WiFi automatic connection failure been directly linked to TB or is there another thread with more recent findings?
Thanks and apologies if this is not the proper etiquette.

After excluding the wifi settings from being backed up by TB, I stopped having the problem. Upgraded to 5.1 since then (flashing 5.1.1 right now) and haven't seen any wifi issues since on my N6.

Where can I find the setting to exclude the Wifi settings from being backed up?

Titanium Backup hangs up on restore in N preview

Hi all, I'm having the classic issue of Titanium Backup getting hung up at 0% when restoring on the N dev preview. I flashed supersu beta 2.71 and have busy box installed. I also have allowed installation from unknown sources, have enabled USB debugging, and disabled mount namespace separation in supersu. I'm all out of ideas and I really need to restore this foshiz. Any help would be appreciated. (This is a nexus 6 of course).
I've never like titanium backup with my Nexus 6. Always had problems. My g2, droid, Gnex, etc all loved it.
Anyways, my guess is either selinux (check and set for permissive), or titanium just isn't compatible with Android N currently (highly likely as android N is just a preview to let developers see what they're working with)
I'm not on N but when I switched from L to M I got the same problem.
What always worked for me was using the update.zip method.
You create it in TitaniumBackup out of your saved apps + data and flash it after you're on N via TWRP.
TB can have problems installing some apps, and get stuck, but if you install that app from Play, it will continue. I recommend you let Google install the apps, then use TB to install data.

The same issue, but with Marshmallow and Samsung s7 edge..
@RatchetPanda has a mod that allows for restoring apps on N

Yes it works, thanks to Aroma you can even flash it, disable all the extras that you don't want and TBU will work.
People post about issues yet leave out any sort of log that will tell what the issue is. This is one of the biggest issues developers have with users. This is why most developers will not reply to issues and almost never come in the Q&A section
If you are gonna post about issues then make sure to do your homework first. Get logs and post them. Try to figure it out for yourself before asking for help. This is not a support forum.

You might wanna try changing "app processing mode" in preferences, indirect method may help and interactive will install apps using the standard installer if all else fails.
On a related note I'd highly recommend backup+ I've started using it for specifically backups between roms and it worked for me perfectly on N. The app was built with the SELinux changes in mind as one of the first apps to work with restoring apps on Lollipop and I'd guess it has a bit to do with it working for Marshmallow and N w/o needing updates during the previews. It probably won't replace TiBup if you use it for stuff like freezing apps and whatnot. (It is capable of doing system apps, wifi, SMS, and phone logs though it's a separate in-app purchase totaling 2.61USD).
