Back them up with titanium backup (free version is fine) first then you can batch reinstall with it after.
You could write a batch script with a loop to install all the apks in a folder via adb.

That's a good idea and doable with one line
from windows command line
for %a in (c:\path\to\files\*.apk) do adb install %a
or in batch file (2 % signs)
for %%a in (c:\path\to\files\*.apk) do adb install %%a
Question relating to this type of thing...
I backed everything up with Astro prior to flashing Cyanogen's ROM...after doing so and reinstalling, all apps work, however only apps that I've installed from the market since that time show updates available...the others never notify me, I only find out if I use a program like atrackdog to track the version #'s. Is this a known issue, and is there a fix?

Hah, that's awesome!
[Edit]: Will they not show up in the Market as described above if installed via adb?

Try backing them up with titanium backup (free edition is fine) and then restoring them, i think that will rewrite your packages file. At least, everything i've restored via titanium updates.

I think they will, but if not, try the titanium backup method i mentioned.
Use Titanium Backup (It will save all app data and restore that as well) Also Donate version has batch install without prompts to install each app
Titanium Backup Donate. Seriously worth the money man
Any other method of installation than Titanium Backup will cause apps not to show in Market, and you will not be notified of updates. So, use Ti Backup. ;-)

Just downloaded. It looks like auto-install is only for the $4 version?

It's worth the money, but you can batch reinstall without the pay version, you just have to click "ok/done" for each one, but it's quick and easy.

But how do I batch-install apps that I did not backup using TiBackup before? e.g. I downloaded a couple of apk files somewhere and want to batch install them, how do I do that?
You can also use AppBrain for batch reinstalling.
Actually, my Nexus One reinstalls all the apps from the market after I wipe.

Use Amon_RA recovery and do "Fix UID mismatches" or whatever it's called. It will match your apps to the Market.
I thought if you sign into your google account it will automatically reinstall apps after wipe, or am i missing something?

Yes. Root/custom ROM. The auto-install is for 100% stock I believe.
Am talking more about apps that I didn't have before on my device before wiping/upgrade. Or lets just start with a fresh device where I have absolutely nothing installed: apps or custom settings:
I have a bunch of apk files which I downloaded before via my PC
I haven't even set up my Market/Google account yet on my device
I want to conserve my bandwidth (3G or Wifi, it doesn't matter) and rather want to batch-install the whole bunch of my 100+ apk apps
how do I do that? what app do I use? from the Market?

I have set up a category on AppBrain personally.. My must-install apps... So when I install a new ROM (when I get around to doing so) I should hopefully be able to easily pick and choose which are installed and none of the misc stuff I like but don't need for day to day use, or to make testing the new ROM faster etc.
I just had a bad experience with MyBackup Pro. I just re-flashed from Sky Raider 2.00 to 2.01. Everything worked beautifully after re-booting under the new ROM. So then I attempted to Restore my apks+data with MyBackup Pro. But after that finished, I never saw such a mess after a re-boot. Thank God I had a nand backup... So now that I'm back where I started from, is there an app out there that actually works? I'd like to try this again.
I'm not sure why MyBackup didn't work. I heard some good things about it, and that is why I decided to try it.
I've also heard of Titanium Backup...but has anyone restored SUCCESSFULLY after a ROM upgrade with this utility?
Just posted this in another thread so I feel like a broken record but yes, I used Titanium to backup pre-2.2, installed CyanogenMod 6, and restored apps+data (NOT system data) and everything seems to have turned out fine.
When you say you've never seen such a mess after a reboot, what exactly do you mean?
I use titanium everyone I write and install a new rom,for sky raider and cyanogen..great app.never had a problem
Sent from my Incredible using XDA App
The "mess" I talked about was some apps that wouldn't run. I would get errors instead. Outlines for some widgets instead of widgets. Wallpaper didn't change, but icon placement was as it was before re-flash. POP mail account lost config. Etc. I didn't make a list. I just said enough of this and did a nand restore.
So if I use Titanium, what should the procedure be to be sure I get back everything as it was? Or am I asking too much? Will I still have to reconfigure some things?
I just installed Titanium Backup. It doesn't appear to be as user friendly as MyBackup Pro. Can you give me some brief advice? I'd really appreciate it. I'm still wet behind the ears.
Thanks!
I use Backup Pro and haven't had any issues. I have had a few oddball apps not backup but never one that I bought or downloaded from the Market.

I've only used it a few times so I'm not exactly a pro, but here goes. There's a tab that says backup/restore, that has a list of your apps and whether or not there's a backup of the app. If you hit Menu and go into batch mode, that's where all the good stuff is. Before I flash a rom I'll go into batch and back up all user apps and system data. You can also schedule backups to be performed while you're sleeping or something, just so you always have new backups.
To restore, you can go into batch mode and restore apps and data. When I went to CyanogenMod6 from stock, I restored only apps and app data. I didn't restore system data because I'm pretty sure if you restore system data when moving between roms it causes a lot of problems (I'm not an expert though, might wanna ask someone more knowledgeable).
Another thing to consider: if you have a lot of apps, Titanium is a giant pain in the ass unless you have the donate version. With the free version, it asks for confirmation when restoring each app, so that can be very bothersome. The paid one does everything automatically.
Hope this helps
I have been searching and reading through posts for a few days now, so this post is not for lack of trying.
I am unable to use Titanium Backup. It says I need to have BusyBox, which will not install saying that I do not have "nand" access or something (a bit of a noob here).
I've also tried to backup through ROMManager, but all it does is reset my phone and tells me that it cannot backup, and gives me a long list of things to try. I have done most if not all, to no avail. Help?

If you go into Titanium, there is a button that says "problems", click that and there should be a button that should install busybox for you.

gmonox is on point. I went through all of this yesterday after getting Froyo. My apps all reinstalled and seem to work just fine with one exception. I had a NexusMod Live wallpaper that wouldn't work. Sad too because it was my favorite because it was Cyanogen inspired and just used the cyan color. Other than that, everything seemed to work fine.
MyBackup Pro still has issues under Froyo. The permissions banner will not go away after backing up. I have to reboot my phone to get it to go away. My task killers don't work on this.
After I flashed CM7 (after a full wipe) Titanium won't restore any apps or data. I made sure unknown sources was checked and made sure I had root and superuser running. I went to the online troubleshooting guide and followed the instructions to change the settings within the app also. Updated busybox and used fix permissions in Rom Manager and no luck. It worked fine on the nightly builds and worked great on Mikshift 1.0 and 1.1. I need to be able to restore my Battle.net authenticator on my phone for Warcraft but I need to be able to restore the data also or it won't work. Any ideas or insight on how to fix this issue or do a manual restore of the app and data would be great. I have the stock Rom and Mikshifts Roms backed up but I'd like to run CM7. Titanium works fine on the other roms and restores the apps and data like normal.
Sent from my PG06100 using XDA App
Are you running the Pro version of Ti Backup? If so, I read that it still has issues with CM7. Specifically, the batch one-click restore of apps+data isn't working. I read there is a setting somewhere to change it to a manual one-by-one app restore as a temporary workaround.
Titanium Backup>Menu>Prefrences>(Under Troubleshooting)App Processing Mode>Interactive Mode.
Try that and it should work...

Only restores the app, I need the data so the app is sync'ed to Battle.nets servers like the original install or I can't log onto WOW with this rom running on my phone. A fresh install prompts you to sync all over again and the authenticator is useless if you haven't removed the old authenticator. I could removed the authenticator and reinstall it on the CM rom and then make another backup so I could use it across all the roms I already have saved (I like to jump around) but that's a lot of work.

If you made the backup with each app's data (it should, be default), it should be restored with data by default. I don't know why yours isn't doing that :/

The only only thing it'll do is restore in interactive mode which uses the stock android installer....so it only uses the apk file and doesn't pull any data with it. I've never has issues with titanium before on any device that couldn't easily be fixed. Still stumped lol. It does show a different version of busybox installed than all my other working versions show, and after using the busybox app from the market it still shows the old version. I've tried fresh installs of titanium and the CM7 rom and no luck. Guess I'll hold off and try to contact the developer or wait for updates. Shouldn't be long.

this is only an issue for the battle.net that puts a new serial with a new install. the Classic installer DOES restore data.
Once you have your battle.net restored the first time and it doesnt work, go back to Ti Backup, click restore and then choose Data only.
Should solve your problem. Please don't misinform others that Ti Backup doesn't work. It does, I promise, I use it often. It might appear that is only installing app, but it installs all data too (My angry birds better follow me!)
We had this issue and ran through a bunch of ways, and foudn that the method described above does work.

Will you please try it one more time? Cosine83 had the exact same problem and it was fixed following the advice Riggs already gave you.
Go into Titanium preferences and change Apps Processing Mode to Interactive. Then restore battle.net via Titanium. After you've restored it again select it in Titanium and hit Restore. When it asks you if you want app+data or data only choose data only.

Sometimes TB just won't restore anything in CM7 if the backup was made in Sense. But backups made in CM7 work fine in Sense. Kind of weird. Had to manually restore data without TB, jesusice.

I've tried it lol I will try again. Quick question though, what version of busybox is showing in TB for you guys in your CM7 installs? Mine starts out with 1.16.2 and when I download busybox it rolls back to 1.16.0. It will not accept the new 1.18.? versions of busybox. I wondered if that was causing it.

Are you sure you're using Interactive (Classic Android installer) for all of this. Before you mentioned that there was a circle that was spinning and not stopping.
If you haven't restarted since that, you have to go and kill the Ti Backup process before trying any of this. We'll get your problem solved don't worry.
I got it. I swear the only thing I did was swap an old 2gig sd card into the phone and made a new backup from my Mikshift rom then a fresh install of CM7. I installed an old version (couple weeks old) of Titanium from a backup I made with Astro. And it worked right off the bat. Still had to go over every app and install it and then the data but I can live with that. Sorry if I got fussy earlier, I'm just not used to getting stumped like that lol. Thanks guys for all the help but I think its just my janky phone being a PITA. Its been kinda buggy since I got it.

You don't even need to do that second step.
While set to "Interactive mode", pick restore app + data. Once the plain-jane Android installer is done, CLICK DONE. Next, Titanium Backup will automatically restore that app's data, just like you told it to.
Unless this issue is specific to the "battle.net" app, this process has worked for me every time, with every app I've tried.

Hello everyone,
I am pretty sure this has been brought up by many others in various other sub-forums of XDA, but I have never had this issue prior to yesterday's update. let me break it down real quick.
So basically I had an Atrix that was flashed with the HKTW version of 2.3.4 GB. Prior to that, I had backed up all my apps from the Froyo Rom and used it to restore to Gingerbread and everything restored fine, every single app was reinstalled.
However, since that version of 2.3.4 has so many bugs, I decided to finally update to the official ATT version of it, using Ken's ROM. Again, prior to flashing I backed up the apps using Titanium backup and proceeded with the flashing.
After all is done, I went ahead to try restoring the apps, but less than half of them got restored. over a hundred of my apps (and the critical ones too) do not get restored. I ran the batch for restoring missing apps, but it just blitz through all the apps without prompting installation. Thus, those apps don't get installed at all in the phone.
Is there something i should be doing to get these other apps installed? I've never had an issue like this, and it's really giving me a hard time. I have even tried different roms of the 2.3.4 variant and nothing is making a difference.
Please, any help is appreciated.
p.s. I read someone in another forum mention he resolved a similar issue by using My Backup Pro. How can you use My Backup to restore TiBu files?
doing individual restores won't work?

How do I do so kind sir? I'm still not quite familiar with TiBu after all this time haha.
Also, in case this matters, the apps under the Restore Missing Apps Batch are all crossed out, and you can only select or deselect them. Funny part is, the apps that installed properly were also crossed out so it's all really weird now.

Seems like a lot of folks had problems when they restored apps after flashing to 2.3.4.

Lol! Tbh, I can't actually remember what are all the critical ones. I know my Root Explorer and My Backup Root did not install. Other things like the different apps for my widget are also missing.
I actually found out why I cant restore those Apps. They were missing the APKs from the TiBu backup folder. for example, my Engadget App only has 2 files, a tar file and properties file. I'm guessing those 2 are the data files?
That is weird. i haven't any problems restoring apps. I know there was some problems with an older version of Titanium Backup.
*Double post*
Yeah, i never had a problem before, but this time, most of my backups are missing the Apk files. Now I'm gonna have to revert further back and loose some apps. Hopefully I'm not losing too much. I can't remember how many apps I installed since my last backup.

Don't think it's a TiBU 2.34 compatibility issue... must be something else going on as all my 2.3.4 restores have been fine and i have both of the examples you mentioned Root Explorer and My Backup Root...
I think its a 5.4.2A problem as I haven't been able to install some apps on any rom based of that build
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
It may have been that when you set up backups on HKTW 2.3.4 that you mistakenly hit the radio button for data only and it overwrote your app and data backups.
You aren't completely dead in the water... You can download the apps again and then restore the data you have.
I require an app which allows me to back up my applications and unfortunately Titanium backup seems to not be working on my Nexus 6p..... Can anyone recommend a reliable alternative?
Are you rooted successfully?

I require an app which allows me to back up my applications and unfortunately Titanium backup seems to not be working on my Nexus 6p..... Can anyone recommend a reliable alternative?

I Installed a custom rom.... Pure nexus by @BeansTown106. The root checker app from the play store confirms I have root installed correctly and I have had no issue with installing applications such as adaway.

I'm running the same ROM and no problems with Titanium for me. Try uninstalling and reinstalling it.

only thing that has suggested an issue is this https://www.dropbox.com/s/yzr67cb1qa91u8m/Screenshot_20151226-234809.png?dl=0
When I back up apps, when I go to copy them on my laptop they aren't there or are in an unrecognised file type. Used to work fine on lolipop.

That warning is normal, it usually goes away after a reboot.

I'm not sure, it always shows up for me. You could try copying the contents of the Titanium folder to another folder using a file manager on your phone, and then copying it to your PC.
I have the same issue. The titanium backup folder shoes up as 0 yet file in map mode. However, if you boot into TWRP and connect to to PC, the folder shows as a folder and can be copied. Not sure why this is but would love a solution.
