Working Market fix (tested on TnT Lite, should work elsewhere)

First off, this is not my fix and I take no credit for it - I am just passing it on. Many thanks to xguntherc for posting the original fix, and KorbenD for pointing me in the right direction on Titanium Backup.

I will summarize the Titanium Backup solution, as that's the one I had gotten to work. The non-TB solution did not work for me, but still relevant as some people have gotten it to work in cm:
- Get a copy of Titanium Backup and sideload it (free version is fine). http://matrixrewriter.com/android/
- Make sure the Market is working with your Google ID, of course.
- Go into Settings -- Applications -- Manage Applications and Force Stop both the Market and Google Services Frameworks apps.
- In Titanium Backup, go into "Backup/Restore", look for "Google Services Framework 2.2", click on it and then choose "Wipe Data". Then go back to the home screen.
- Run the Market app. You should get an error (that's a good thing, as that's what we want. If you don't get an error, re-try the steps above until you do).
- Reboot, and wait at least a minute after the OS is up to let things stabilize.
- Run the Market again. You should see an immediate difference.
EDIT: You might have to do one more reboot to get apps to actually download and install. I had this issue, but it might have just been me.
I tested this on TnT 1.02, but keep in mind that my TnT is further modded so results may vary. Good luck!

It worked!!! Thanks a million my friend for posting this.

Works on Zpad 1106

Working very nicely on v1 build of the zpad clean V1.0 Thanks this is great!

Updated apps!!! rockplayer is now working he he.... I'm like a kid in a candy store Nice find man

Works perfect on 6.1 beta!!! Thanks!

This doesn't seem to work on a rooted stock g-tablet. I also tried the Titanium Backup method, but no luck. It does give me the Market terms of use on first run.
You guys are going to force me to use a modded firmware! I still want to wait and see what ViewSonic/Flextronics comes out with for an update.

And again, keep in mind that this was not my fix. I just documented what others found! I don't want to take any credit for this.

Well, as soon as you add gapps, it's technically modded already. You might as well come to the dark side 100%!

Seems this device may steal a lot of the Archos 101's thunder for mid to higher end Android users, since easy to root and a LOT more powerful. Apparently both devices have the same display too. Need to see the Archos 101 in "person" to confirm this, but Youtube vids show the same weak angles.
Talk about irony. Archos talks smack and is a month and a half late (even later for 2.2), only to be beat to and in channels by a device with no smack talk. Ironic.

Using rooted and gapp OTA vanilla TnT.
Market fix worked. Had to reboot x3 though

Not sure what OTA means. Is this firmware you flashed, and not as it comes from the factory?

Did you start Market after each reboot? Or did you just reboot three times.

OTA: Using the vanilla post over the air update to... 2638(?) I think?
Tried Market everytime. And each time it came with error screen.
Last one came populated
Hope it helps

I don't seem to be able to get the desired results, no matter how many times I reboot.
If the ViewSonic update doesn't give a decent market, I will reset the device and start over. I'm still not convinced that I need to install a custom ROM.

The Viewsonic update is going to be a device reset, for all intents and purposes - that's why I'm not making any mods until that comes out.

I'm using this fix on stock, rooted G Tab & it is working great. I followed the video in the thread to flush the cache and all is up and running.

Is my Titanium Backup not installed properly? (first time ever trying to use it, I'm a total n00b on all of this) I get to Backup/Restore, but don't see any sort of Google Framework entry. Is there something I need to run first?

It should be in there - it's "Google Services Framework 2.2", it's alphabetical.
You have gapps installed, I assume? Market is there?

I sideloaded Market, didn't use the TNT/gapps loader. So perhaps that's my problem. (Though I don't see any apps listed in Titanium Backup/Restore. Maybe it has something to do with the error I get about "BusyBox works but the 'su' command does not elevate to root" when I open it.)
(Can't do the YouTube Market fix, either, because I have no option in the TnT Settings / Applications to Clear Data--only Clear Cache is there)
I imagine I'll be going to TNTlite pretty soon, but I was waiting for the OTA for.... no particular reason, really.
Thanks.

This worked great for me using tntlite 2.0, but this step "- Go into Settings -- Applications -- Manage Applications and Force Stop both the Market and Google Services Frameworks apps." the manage applications buttton was missing.. the actual button I used was System Applications.. otherwise the instructions worked. also be patient when you are wiping data in titanium backup, after hitting the button it does take a while before it will show a popup saying "data wipe complete"

restore XT860 to factory state - or how to make TitaniumBackup to restore an app...

Firstly sorry for my lack of professionality, I am playing with android forcouple of days only...
successfully rooted XT860, installed Titanium Backup, started freezing and uninstalling stuff...I must have uninstalled something, which causes the "process com.motorola.contacts" to stop. I want to restore last uninstalled apps using Titanium Backup - but the culprit ones (which ones could that be? I am trying to restore everything related to contacts) do not want to be restored - TB just says "restoring app" and after 30minutes nothing...
So, please: (a) Is there a way to revert the phone to its original state? (b) how to make TB to restore these stubborn apps?
Thanks

I am here waiting for you.

yes, it is - the only difference is he deleted different app than me to end up in the exactly same trouble. I already went through that thread (and related ones) but even if it says "solved", there is no routine to follow I can comprehend - it mostly describes failures trying some scripts. I am not familiar with editing scripts etc. YET (using android for couple of days only) ... I would very much welcome sort of step-by-step description (if the word "solved" is true) - I am willing to contribute with my experience using it or in any other way, but currently I am a beginner:
- is there a simple way how to restore single apps I already have from .zip posted in the abovementioned thread?
- is there a way to restore the phone to its original state (system image available in the abovementioned post)?... just to make sure that I wont get lost if I try the ROM, mentioned in this thread above

UPDATED 5/4/19 Working Trusted Face/Face unlock

I was doing a data migration Via Titanium backup for my new Razer 2 from a OnePlus 6 and decided to try it's trusted face restore. I had tried magisk modules and apk downloads from other websites when I found out it wasn't available out of the box. I'll add the apk itself and the titanium files. Let me know how it works with just the apk. And if the bare apk doesn't work use titanium back up and let it restore as a system app.
EDIT:
Time to resurrect an old thread, I removed the app and tried it again using the packages I provided and ran into the same issue. Attached below is a titanium backup of my new working app. If you cannot get it working with the attached zip download the latest NANO Open GAPPS package available at https://opengapps.org/. I got it working again by installing the nano package. Let me know how it works guys ?

And here's a zipped file with the titanium backup

So are you saying that it does work for you? Are you on Pie?

Yes it works and yes I'm on pie. It actually works incredibly well. The app came from my OnePlus 6 on pie. I'm rooted and did it through titanium backup though. If someone unrooted tests just the apk report back.

I'm unrooted tried to install app no good doesn't work

How to restore this with titanium? sorry but it's have been a while since I used titanium
Edit: managed that titanium recognize the backup but it doesn't get restored it stays on 0%
Edit 2: now it gots restored but gives me a FC if I try to add a face

With the apk you went into the settings/security/smart Lock/ and didn't see trusted face in there then?

The app is still installed correct? From there, to try and fix the force close go into the applications from settings and clear the data from the app and try the setup again.

Yes it's installed correct and appears in smart Lock.
Clearing data doesn't help (was the first what I have tried).

Could you check the permissions it's granted in applications? Make sure it has access to everything. If that doesn't do it I'll remove the app from my device and do a fresh restore with my titanium file I posted. If it works for me again I'll post all the steps I took and add some screenshots in the original post as an edit

The app doesn't install just fails

app cannot be installed.

As of now read the updated instructions and you should be set on getting trusted face working. Quick summary is install the nano GAPPS package and it will appear in settings -> security -> smart lock. I think the install via app method in the original post didn't work because there were missing libraries that the package installs.

Smart locks do not have face recognition. (Have you received a security update in the last six months? This system cannot be updated in China.)?

No, I haven't had any updates since February. Looks like Razer already cut support for the 2
I'll look and see if there are any methods that can be used in China for this. I have a feeling the downloads will be blocked since it's a Google app :crying:.

I like to play games, but this phone, the system is very bad, inexplicable Caton, I think rp3 will not be launched, rp2 system update should seek third-party development (if there is a very good third party I am willing to try)。:highfive:

Honestly I'm thinking about trying to build AOSP like lineage from scratch for this thing. I agree that the system is pretty bad.

I did see where the Razer Phone (first phone) was now LineageOS supported, too. First saw it unofficial, and as of yesterday, officially supported.

Apex Launcher: neither restore nor backup can be performed

I have the phone now exactly 3 h and must first get used to this Xiaomi world. I reinstalled my apex launcher and wanted to recover the data from a backup (memory access is set). I get the message that this action can not be performed. If I want to do a backup, the same message comes up. Why is that (with normal roms from the normal Google world, I never had problems).

I also have the same issue with a realme phone did you manage to solve it?

I've had this problem for at least a year now and nothing I've tried worked to fix this. It's ridiculous.

Did anyone find the reason for this yet - Im still having this issue?

Nothing yet, in the same boat

I have the same problem on Galaxy a22 Android 11: no possibility to backup and impossible to restore from previous setting (from another Galaxy). The message is "the action cannot be completed". it's really frustrating and i haven't found any solution on the net and although this bug is also reported on google play, there is no update to fix it. Really a pity!
Edit: Even installing older versions or even Apex Launcher Classic does not solve the problem. Therefore, it is an Android 11 problem! Perhaps, a problem of permissions, even more than compatibility .. but one should understand which permissions! I don't know if on any device with 11 ..

OP was from 2019 and this issue still seems to be happening. I just got an S22 Ultra and can't create a backup nor restore. As @liberalinea mentioned, issue with permissions or compatibility. Has anyone been lucky/smart enough to figure out a fix yet??

Same issue with my pixel 6pro running 12. Did not have this issue with my Ulefone running 10

Have similar issue on Android 9 and 10. Restore does not restore any links but links to apps which are currently installed. Not via Apex GUI, nor via Titanium or other backup apps. Manual copy of app data folder (root) does not restore better neither. Restore functions fine with Classic, but since Android 9 only shortcuts to installed apps are possible, no URL or files and folders. :-( Have written several times to the developper, but no response :-(
Any hint will be much appreciated.

Question Non root app and data backup

I want to root my phone but want to keep all of my data and apps to reinstall after root.
Is there any way i can save everything? I have access to a computer and am on android 13.
Have looked at samsung switch but on a thread someone said that data is not always saved and adb backup is deprecated.

Perhaps NeoBackup would work for you:

Some few apps I had to login/authorize again but most worked like a charm.

Looks good but i am sadly looking for a rootless option that saves apps and their data.

Isn't that an oxymoron?

I am not very computer literate but i just read up on how lately android has restricted access more and more so i guess ill just have to take screenshots of all my settings and manually restore them later.
Still, is there a good alternative that saves all apps without their data? I think ill be using smart switch then

Hmm, nothing stops you from making multiple backups:
https://alternativeto.net/software/titanium-backup/
I think Titanium is the best known (haven't tried it years though but people still seem happy with it), so check this and its alternatives.
I would be really keen to read about your experience(s). And, of course, plenty of good luck
PS: For calls and SMS I use
https://alternativeto.net/software/sms-backup-and-restore/about/
for years now, on any phone, has never failed me.

Thanks, i will do an update when ill do it

No Root : Samsung Switch is best, No third party app will able to make data backup
Rooted device : Swift Backup best choice. (It will make app backup without root too)
Titanium backup is crap and outdated for newer devices/OS and needs root.
I recommend following in your situation :
Use Samasung Switch and backup - Root device and restore it. There are chances some app may not corretcly restore data but that's limitation and have to accept. Once you have rooted device move to SwiftBackup (or any other that suits you best)
