I would like to restore my N4 (stock ROM, rooted, xposed) to an earlier time.
My phone is a disaster now. I can't make or answer calls. It locks itself randomly, and when I try to Batch/restore,
TB crashes.
I can't even narrow down the possible causes.
Wonkiness began with Greenify, Permission Master, and X-Privacy. Maybe I messed up a setting. I froze, defrosted bloat.
Then a forced update of Galaxy Apps.
Now my phone crashes when I make/receive a call. The popup says "IN CALL UI has stopped".
I have de-activated and uninstalled all 3 modules above. I have also defrosted ALL apps.
I did make T.Backups and have recovery. I want to restore to one of my backups from a month ago.
TIA
Correction... Now in TB, it's saying "Failed to Locate" backup directory.
Really need some help here. Thanks

Hello, I have been experiencing a weird issue with restoring apps with Titanium Backup Pro that I have never had before. My captivate had Firefly 3.0 on it and apps were being backed up every night. My phone started freezing and restarting, so I flashed to stock, master cleared, then reloaded Firefly 3.0. I use Titanium backup pro to restore the apps it had backed up, and it seems to work fine. Once they are all done, I can access them and use them, whatever.
The issue arises after I restart the phone; some of the apps just go away from the app drawer. They are not on my sd card, so that can be ruled out. For instance, Angry Birds got restored fine, and I could play it until I restarted the phone, then it just went away. Same with Flikie HD, and many others. I look in the application manager and some apps just have the generic android icon and their names are in the format "com.android......". These are the apps that will not work.
This has never happened to me before and there seems to be no rhyme or reason for it. There is no pattern for what apps it does or does not restore. Also, unknown sources are allowed and Titanium Backup says the backup files are fine, no errors at all. I have gone through the process of flashing to stock, master clearing, reflashing quite a few times now, but the same thing every time, with the same apps it seems.
Thanks for taking the time to read my long problem, but I wanted to be as descriptive as possible. Any ideas would be greatly appreciate.
Having the came problem with Apex 8.1. Any ideas?
Unfortunately, no. I just ended up taking note of which apps screwed up on restore, and then just got them from the market. Lost the data that accompanied them, but oh well.
TIBU update
I just had this same problem but had luck by first updating TIBU from the market. Then uninstall the offending app(s) and re-install from the market. After install, just restore data only through TIBU, and voila! Worked for me but as usual, ymmv. This happened to my Angry Birds and was not very happy to lose my save game data but it all worked out in the end. Hope this helps.
PS - was also on Apex 8.1...

This was a known issue when installing a ROM with an incompatible version of CWM. Just verify which version of clockwork mod you have and what the flashable .zip requires to load properly. May or may not be it, just figured I'd throw it out there.

Huh, I never got the option to reload only the data, it was weird. After I installed the apps from the market, the option to restore the app or data was gone totally.

I don't think that is the issue, thanks though. I have restored apps on Firefly 3.0 with the same CWM with no issues, so I doubt that is it. I appreciate the reply though.
Hi everyone,
I've owned a HTC One since 3 months now, and I started trying to customize it a little. So, I followed the different guides I found on this site, and successfully managed to unlock my bootloader, install TWRP and finally flash a custom rom.
I flashed the Android Revolution HD v12.1 , and everything worked fine. Then, I made a backup with Titanium Backup Pro, no problem again. So I decided to push a little further by installing the CM 10.1 nightly version for the One; indeed, that's a nightly, for sure. I then got back to my previous custom rom and used my TB's backup to restore my datas.
I did not notice the problem immediately, but it was obviously present from the beginning : it appears that I'm not receiving anymore any notifications coming from any app I installed from the Store. I tried to uninstall then install the apps again, did not work. I looked a little bit in TB's option and I found one called "Manage Android ID", TB told me my One had a different Android ID from the previous one; I tried to restore the previous one, but still, I don't receive any notification from my apps !
I have no problem with message, call, missed call... notifications.
So, how can I fix this quite annoying problem ?
Thanks a lot.
A little bump, I need you guys!
try formatting your phone and installing an app, then check for notifications.
Ideally before changing from ARHD to CM, you should format the phone. Also titanium backup tends to have issues when you restore across different implementations.
Currently, I have ARHD. I just tried CM but TB tends to bug the entire system while restoring, anyway that's not the problem.
Of course, even though I didn't mention it, I made a FULL Wipe with TWRP each time I installed a new ROM.
I think -obviously I'd say- that the problem is caused by TB, but I'd like to know if there is any possibility to fix it without wiping the phone and installing ARHD, without using TB; Doing it this way would solve the problem I guess, but if I could avoid to lose quite a lot of data, I'd be glad !
Thanks for trying to help me.
Rooted (stock) VZW moto x
A couple days ago my phone app started force closing immediately upon opening it every time. It doesn't work at all now. I am rooted, but I rooted weeks ago and this just started yesterday or the day before. I haven't messed with anything. The only thing that I have done is download apps from the play store... None of which 'should' mess with the phone app.
I have since downloaded an alternative dialer app which works, but I'd rather use stock. I tried rebooting, tried clearing the app's cache and data (in system settings - apps) and no luck.
Any help would be great. Either finding/fixing the issue or a way to reinstall the stock phone app? I am rooted and I believe write protection is off, which I had to do to install busybox. Thanks!

What version are you on. 4.2.2 or 4.4
There is a couple things i would try i have had to do it with other phone specially my old S3
1. restore from a backup when i the dialer was not FC
2. try reinstalling the dialer from the APK located here device/system/prvi-app/dialer.apk
3. pull the dialer.apk out of the correct stock ROM or recover img and replace the one located in the above folder and install it.
but to be honest option one is normally the best way to go and the fastest.
Thanks. I'm on 4.4. I'm going to try option 2 when i get home. I'm not exactly sure how to restore a backup on this phone yet being that i dont really have a recovery.
Edit: option 2 installed ok, but still force closes
let me get you the .apk from the restore img give me about a hour to download it and get you a link
also do you know how to use titanium backup if so i would install it and back up all user apps and data because you might have to do a factory reset. but if you backup with TB you and restore everything right back to ware you was
Hey everyone,
My phone is a OPO running build 44S.
The xposed installer has completely disappeared on my phone.
I first noticed that the app disappeared from my home screen, then after looking through my apps list, noticed it wasn't installed at all.
However, the /data/data/de.robv.android.xposed.installer/ folder still exists and all my modules are still functioning.
When I tried to reinstall it, I received the "app not installed" error message (probably due to the fact that all the files are still there).
Can anybody help me out? I suspect the issue might be that it had gotten disabled when I installed the 44S update, as mentioned in the FAQ.
Unfortunately, the FAQ only provides solutions for before you install a new ROM, not after xposed is already disabled.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Have you tried to find the app in your full list through the settings? You can enable it through there if it indeed is disabled. If you have Titanium Backup Pro, you can also unfreeze the app to use it again.

The app is not in the "full list". I checked out Titanium Backup Pro, and it seems like xposed and Greenify (I didn't even noticed that Greenify also disappeared) are there, but crossed out. When I click on it, the backup and restore buttons are greyed out, and the uninstall button does nothing.
I was curious about Greenify, so I tried reinstalling it from the Google Play store, but I was welcomed with a ""Unknown error code during application install '-110'". None of the fixes to clear my Google Play cache fixed this error either.
Anything else that I can try?

Seems like they got wiped out, but not fully. There are still data artifacts remaining, and preventing you from reinstalling...at least, so I think...
Have you rebooted since the problem, by the way?

Yeah, I've had this problem for a couple days now and have rebooted multiple times.
I'm having a pretty serious issue. My phone rebooted on its own earlier and I only know because when it came back on it has the message: android system there's an internal problem with your device, and it may be unstable until you factory data reset.
I booted into safe mode and got the same error which tells me it isn't an app (I think)
Titanium backup force closes upon boot and will not open. I was hoping to use it to backup a couple of my games.
Anyone know of a fix? I haven't installed anything new in the last few days. Do I just need to hard reset? I'm hoping to avoid that. I might try to flash a new 5.1 system to see if that fixes it.
I had the same problem before. I believe its due to an error with the /data partition. Best thing I can recommend is formatting /data
As an update. I fastboot flashed I over D and did not get anywhere. I still get the error when it boots up and titanium backup is still borked. It was working fine before. I've heard that SMS apps can give issues so I am backing everything up, including the messages, and I'm going to erase all the messages and Textra. I will then reboot. If that doesn't fix it I guess it's time for a format of everything.
I've had Android for a long time, since the OG Hero on Sprint. This is the first time this has happened, so I'm hoping it isn't a common thing for the Nexus 6.
Deleting all messages and textra did not fix the issue. The only thing I think that could've caused it is recently by chainfire. It happened the day after I installed, tried, didn't work, and uninstalled. The next day the issue pops up and won't go away. Could also just be coincidence.
The only way I fixed this was factory reset. I did not have to wipe user data.
