Hello, I have just flashed dj05 onto my phone and I'm installing my apps back onto my phone using titanium backup. However, my apps are not showing up in the market under the downloads section.. Last time I flashed a rom I was able to get them to show in the market as downloaded by restoring a file but I cannot remember what file I used.
Anyone else know?

Have you tried Market Doctor? In TB Pro, go to Menu-->More and just select it. Theoretically that should restore the links.

I had a bunch of folders on the screen and these were not restored from backup using TB pro. Is this normal, or folders must have been restored as well?

Im new to rooting/flashing roms.. Is it possible to keep the apps/games you've already downloaded after you've flashed to a different rom? Or do I have to write them down and redownload them?
Also what is a NANDROID backup? Is it the same as backing up though clockworkmod recovery?
Download Astro file manager. Open it up and go to menu>tools>backup and backup all your installed apps. Then if you do a clean install all you have to do is install Astro from the market and reinstall your apps from your backup.
Your apps are stored on the /data/ partition so that is untouched when you flash a rom. That said, they recommend wiping to avoid any incompatibilities.
You can use a backup program, eg Titanium or My Backup Pro, to backup your apps and data.
Clockwork can do everthing, but I like using Titanium so I can selectively restore apps.

So technically speaking I could flash roms without wiping? But I still should.
Thanks to both of you!
you can flash without wiping but you should wipe. if you don't wipe don't report bugs, because the first thing they will ask is if you wiped.

Made a mistake already haha. Forgot to sync my contacts with google before I flashed to syndicate. Good thing I made a back up of my stock rom Goes to show how IMPORTANT backing up is!!
AppBrain market makes it very easy to restore all your apps from the market.

This becomes an issue when moving from eclair to froyo. I use app brain and when I moved to a froyo rom I went back in to download fresh and nothing was there. When I flashed back though app brain had my list of apps ready and waiting. Kinda neat kinda painful. Use Astro...it's a lot simpler.
Apparently the id or model changed and the list was different. Check on the appbrain.com website. Move the apps to the other list. Worked well for me.

I recently just rooted and I'm ready to flash my first ROM, but if, rather not lose all my apps. With titanium backup will I have to back up my apps, individually or is there somewhere I can do that at?
Thanks again

You can run a batch with options to backup just user data, apps, system data or all of the above or each program by itself.

I've installed the titanium backup app and noticed that is boots itself with the phone. After killing it, the app eventually re-opens itself! Is this normal, is there a way to prevent this from happening? Or would it be best to uninstall it and simply reinstall it whenever I need to use it?

Are you talking about clockwork recovery?
No, I mean titanium backup. I wasn't able to see that it was running using advanced task killer, but I could see that it was running using android assistant (it seems to show more processes). I've just assume uninstall it until I need it. I don't see any reason to have it running int he background constantly consuming ram when it is not needed.
I have the regular version of Titanium Backup, and after I install the new ROM and want to reload my apps, I click on batch and click the apps i want to restore, but it asks me to install on each app. Does the pro version bypass this?
No i don't think it does bypass it... with the pro version the big thing you're able to do is freeze apps....

Ok here goes. I hope this is the right place or close to it. I have a Droid X with Android 2.2 on Verizon. I rooted using z4Root and then I made a complete backup with Titanium Backup of all apps and data. I haven't messed with any custom ROMs yet. I have just rooted and backed up. I saw today where there is a bad spot on the screen and I will probably get a new Droid X. With what I have done so far, can I just take the SD Card from my 1st X and restore the new one to just like the old one using Titanium Backup and restoring from it? Do I root the new phone first? How do I go about this? Thank you for your time.
Yeah just root and install titanium backup on your new phone then restore using the batch restore option and you should be good to go.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Thank you! I appreciate it.
No worries, I usually let google sync download all the apps off the market then just use titanium backup for the app data. The apps will start downloading right after you put in your google account info. It will take a bit if you have a bunch of apps, just open the market and go to my apps and you'll see them all downloading.

after I installed the rom, I can not do backup restore with titanium. my help
Ok so I'm planning on flashing a rom for the first time. I was just wondering if after running a full backup using Titatnium, if that saves all of the texts messages that I have right now? If it doesn't, is there a way to go about getting that done?
If you want to save your text messages, I recommend using mybackup pro (the free version will not let you restore data). If you can't pay for it, look up Applanet

First off, Jmoney47, please do not recommend that another user on here use Applanet. Warez and the like are not supported by XDA. Apps such as applanet are the reason there are virus' and malware on Android devices. If you truly want a paid app, then pay for it off of the market and support the developer who made it. =)
As for the original question:
I believe Titanium will save all of your data (sms and what not). i just switched ROMs and used titanium (among other things). so i'm so used to the switching process, I really can't recall all I do.
I recommend searching for SMS backup which is a free app
My Backup Root is free and backs up text. I couldn't figure out how to back up text using Titanium.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Also, Titanium Backup only backs up apps. Don't try to back up system data with it because it differs from ROM to ROM and can have serious consequences if you restore it with an incompatible one.
If you want a full backup, one you can restore after flashing a new ROM if something goes wrong, you need to make a nandroid backup using Clockwork Recovery.

Well I got everything I need to backup taken care of, but now I'm having a problem flashing the rom. I select the rom in rom manager, check to make a backup, and to wipe the data, hit ok, but then it just restarts my phone and nothing has happened. Any ideas?

I don't use rom manager, instead I use koush's droid X bootstrap. Which might be a dependancy for rom manager.
On a side note. I'm baffled by the fact that someone would come in a developers forum and recommend pirated software. Sad.

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...
I wondered if that was the problem, still not sure but nothings worked so far.

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.

I asked for help and explained my problem, I stated it didn't work for me. My post wasn't labeled "Titanium Backup Broken for CM7!!!!" I tried your method and IT WILL NOT RESTORE DATA ON MY DEVICE on my CM7 rom period. I even downloaded the rom again I've done fresh installs and full wipes and as stated before it works fine for the older versions and Mikshift roms. Thanks for the flame though....that why I hate to ask for help here.

It just hangs until I kill the app. It will use the classic installer to install the app just fine but it will not do data. I'm gonna try a fresh backup on a different SD card. I know its just something off the wall, now its bugging me so much I have to figure it out lol.

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.
