I had an issue where google talk kept force closing on opening. I'm rooted so I thought it was a good idea since I backed up everything via titanium backup when I first switched over to uninstall it via Titanium, then reinstall it. Of course now for whatever reason titanium doesn't give me the ability to restore the application. Anyone know how to fix this? I think I just need the google apps apk but I don't know where to get the most recent package of them. I had google talk 1.3 installed and its different for froyo. I can always go back to my original nandroid backup if its not possible but I'd lose all the customizations and app installs/uninstalls since. Thanks for the help.
Flash the rom you have installed again.
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.
Couldn't find anything after searching..
I updated to 893, used forever root and stayed rooted. Using titanium backup i backed up all system data before i did any of this.
Now after a successful upgrade i decided i wanted my old texts back for work, as well as my work email account set up. I went to titanium back up and batch restored all system data.
Now, I went to system and it showed i was still on 893, but is everything else 893? do i get the perks? The longer battery life, no longer having to airplane mode for data, etc? or did i basically return, but not return to 886 by doing this?
thanks for your time
I don't see how Titanium could install a radio or ROM just by doing a restore. The restore is done in the gui environment and cannot do these things, pretty sure. It may just be a bug, I have installed Liberty ROM after i did the .901 update and its radio shows .893. Folks around here tell me to disregard what the OS is reporting as the radio is patched but does not report correctly.
Thank you for your reply
Evening All.
I have not long since got my HTC One (UK version of it makes any difference).
It is S-Off, bootlooader unlocked and rooted with TWRP 2.6.3 recovery but currently running stock firmware. I've had a play with ARHD and liked it. However it's a bit of a nause having to re download apps every time I update. The internet were I am is very slow so this takes time.
I know backup solutions exist however I get conflicting reports about the apps. Having come from an iPhone (which I still use as a work phone) I am looking for a backup solution that with either a brand new phone or a factory reset and a new/custom Rom I just hit restore and it puts all my apps data and settings as it was when I backed up. Including things like my layout in widget locker and nova launcher.
I was going to be using helium but then read that you still have to download the APK for all the apps again from Google so that seems a pretty defunct choice.
It's there an app which will backup my phone, I can remove this to my laptop. Then factory reset, reinstall the app (I'm assuming you have to do this) and then I put the backup back on the phone and restore it?
Cloud options are no use due to the slow internet.
Apologies if this has been covered before but I just can't seem to find a definitive answer.
Thanks in advance.
Carl.

I use ES File Explorer to backup all the app apk's and HTC backup to my google drive for settings / mms / contacts/ etc
Titanium Backup
I made a backup using TWRP and restored just the data partition. Most things work but when I open Signal Messenger it just flashes and closes. Any idea how to fix it or get the messages off? Would it make a different if I installed the app before restoring from TWRP? I came from stock Android to Lineage (aside question, where can I even download stock firmware from?)
Signal has a built-in backup functionality. Your best bet is to use that one.
This would mean going back to stock, restoring everything, taking a backup inside Signal - then flashing Lineage again, install Signal and restore from backup
