Anyone got Titanium backup to work?

I thought once we have root all apps would work. But titanium says it needs busybox. That's one of the best root apps

Click on "problems?" in the app and it will download bussybox.
It works just fine on my rooted phone.

I just finished rooting my Evo and did exactly as above. The first time you start Titanium, it will ask for root, then say it failed. That's most likely because Busybox is missing. Click on "Problems?" and let it install Busybox. Restart Titanium Backup and all is well.
I also had good luck grabbing the TitaniumBackup directory from my Hero's SD card and putting it on the Evo's card and restoring my apps that way. Very handy if you want your settings back.

True root?

I have successfully rooted MT4G using method from this forum.
I can install few items that need root access, like shootme, titanium backup etc... I also see su in terminal OK.
However, when I run titanium backup/restore I only see 5 items: accounts, app widgets, bluetooth pairings, country/language, wifi access points - that's it!
Am I truly rooted? On my nexus one I had almost 200 items....

Only you know which you followed the temp root or perm root instructions. Did you run the root.sh? guessing from SU in console you are fully rooted. I just find it odd you rooted your own device and did not know it now thats dangerous.

Click on problems at the bottom, install busybox

Busybox installs fine with msg 'your phone is rooted'
Btw, no danger when I said 'successfully rooted' based on the info from this forum.
Did it exactly: visionary and then ran the code in terminal, everything is loookig good.
It's actually much easier than previously thought.
However, this titanium backup bothers me - there isn't much to backup.
Is there an alternative? Love titanium, it's just doesn't seem to work for me anymore.
Why would that be?

When I finally restarted the phone the third time (restart and power off are exact bass-awkwards - power off is just like sleep mode, doesn't remove items @temp cache)
the whole slew of apps showed up @titanium. Case closed.
Another q: can't find nandroid backup. I'm on clockwork, which it has its own backup/restore, and I'm assuming it's the same thing?

Nandroid backup/restore is included inside the recovery OS that you must flash. It is not a Java app.

[Q] how do i uninstall t-mobile apps on my mytouch 4g

Is there any way to uninstall the factory app without perm root

No I don't believe so, but if u do root, you can flash a rom called ice glacier(unthemed) , its basically the stock rom without all the bloatware that you're trying to remove, or you can just root and freeze the apps with titanium backup pro version, freezing doesn't delete the apps it just renders them useless incase. U ever need them just unfreeze that specific app very easy to do.

ive already rooted my phone..
how do i uninstall the factory apps???

Once you have root you can use a Root File Manager from the market to uninstall the apk's or use BloatFreezer. Alternatively you can flash Faux's Orange Glacier rom, which is Stock 2.2.1 with the bloat removed

Root manager cost money.. haha is there a free one? or another methods?

You can flash this, its just the stock rom with root and t-mobile apps taken out

Titanium Backup can uninstall system apps. Honestly, though, uninstalling things can be risky because you don't know for certain what apps your system actually needs in order to function properly. It's much much easier to flash a custom ROM that doesn't have any of that to begin with.

Titanium backup kept spam asking me for superuser access so I used a differnet app
I use "Root Uninstaller" and it didn't have a problem

When the SuperUser prompt comes up, is the box for "Remember" checked? If it is, then Titanium Backup should be added to the SuperUser allow list.

I use titanium backup, im temp rooted & have deleted several apps. Works great
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App

ya it was, no idea why cause it was only that program
i check remember, hit allow, window comes up about 1 second later over and over unless i exit out

how do i delete the tmobile account from accounts and sync? i tried royal glacier iced glacier orange glacier and its STILL there

I've been using uninstaller for root, has removed everything i've tried.

[Q] titainium backup

Does Titanium backup work without root?
Thanks

No but it is very easy to root if on froyo; if on GB it has a few more steps involving an SBF but it is still a very simple process.

And really, if you're on xda, you know you want to root.

I would think Android should allow backups without the need to hack/ root the phone.

They do, with apps like my backup and other stuff, but none of those work well because, you guessed it, root level access is needed to preserve system and some data...

When I had my Windows Mobile 6 phone, I could do a nandroid-type backup (system + user data) using a program called Sprite. Each snapshot was around 50MB for me. And 1-click restore to that backed up state.
No need to hack/root the phone.
I guess the Android equivalent would be to root and use Titanium?

You are correct. If you want to back up your entire phone you can root install Droid 2 bootstrap and rom manager and just click backup current rom then your entire phone will be backup up. Including setting, messages, all apps, everything.

Always keep a good titanium backup, but if you are rooted, use cwm to create a backup image.

Running busted phone in emulator...?

This is more of a question to see if it's possible cause it would be fun... but, is it possible to create a system image or some such thing to load your existing phone (all data, contacts, game info, everything) into an emulator?
To specify, in case it's needed, my broken phone is an HTC Dream (G1), rooted and tweaked (quite a lot), and it currently has Ginger Yoshi 2.3.1 I believe. I dropped it off a ladder and it basically won't do anything now. Boots (and I can get to the recovery screen), but won't actually function.
Anyway, kind of a hobby thing to stimulate conversation.

Is there a way to make a Nandroid backup and then to install your original ROM onto the emulator and restore the data?

Not that I know of. I haven't used the emulator much (only for basic app testing), but being that I've always restored from recovery, and I don't think there is a way to enter recovery using the emulator, it would seem impossible for me.

I can check it out, but does it have to have a USB connection to a device? Or can it use images? Say nandroid backups or something?
