No problems here, maybe try uninstalling TB and reinstalling then trying the pro key again. Silly question, you are rooted right?
Yup, rooted to the foolest! And, yup, I tried the uninstalling and reinstalling thing and still... no glory! Guess i'll play around with it till it kicks in. I just don't understand it. Thanks anyway

Visit the Titanium Backup official site and in particular the wiki.
The feature I use most on TB is the freeze feature. It is also useful to backup settings for programs, like K9 mail, that do not have a backup feature built in.
Useful info. Marv... Thanks.

Ones for backing up and uninstalling the other is a system browser. I use both as what you can do with one you cant with the other.
backup
use sprite backup.apk
i think much better than titanium
Ok so the OTA 2.2 should be around the month.
I was just wondering is there an android app or program for the pc to back up the current state of my phone such as all apps and preferences so i dont have to start from scratch after the update?
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
When I tried to update to the unofficial 2.2 (and failed ) titanium backup did the trick. Reloaded all apps with settings, just had to rebuild my screen layouts. Problem is most of the backup programs require root. Accordin to streaksmart.com the "dell insider" was not able to root the official build. Not to say the smart people on these forums wont have that figured out in no time after its released: )

Sorry. Didnt read completely. Don't know of one for the PC...

Dell have said that they will tell you how to back up all your data before applying the update so maybe they have a program they are sending with the update

Hi all, encouraged by all the positive comments about JPK I decided to go on and install it.
All went well, rooted without trouble then went back to the stock kernel. I restored all the apps and system data with Titanium Backup and suddenly the process com.android.systemui (the top taskbar) crashed. I rebooted the phone but the error stayed.
I tried reflashing but this time I installed the apps from scratch and used Titanium to restore the apps data, after that the system responded very stable until an hour ago when the com.android.systemui error and crash appeared again.
Has anyone else experienced this? Any fixes?
I was on JPY before, I guess I'll try JS8 or go back to JPY
Thanks

never restore system data unless whatever ur running is the same thing you were running when you did the backup.
I absolutely agree with you. That's why I flashed again with no system data restore. But the process crashed once more.
Thanks for your input Runedrune
Any other thoughts?

Yes, everything but the (obviously) external sd card.
The only thing I didn't do was repartition. Do you think that could fix it?

Try repartition. I did with 512 pit and no problems installed this way on 6 phones.
Good luck.

This to me seems like a problem with Titanium Backup: because both times you experienced it after using it, and no one else here have reported anything like that with JVK.

Best thing for contacts is to sync with Google. As soon as you sign in to market after wiping and flashing things all contacts are restored. Clean and simple and always on hand if you lose your phone.

It explains everything related to the backup with TB and why you're experiencing this error.
It happened to me exactly the same..its because you used Titanium and restored system data.

I've had the same issues with TB, i used it in the beginning. But now i just keep a list of have-to-have apps and i sync my calendar & contacts with google.
I'm also running on 2.3.3, it runs much faster and smoother than 2.2, some lags but a lot less then stock 2.2.

Ok, I'll give it Google sync a try and backup my data using other means. Does anyone know how long does it take to make a full backup via Google?
And will this include wifi and apn settings?
Thanks again

As far as i know, but i could be wrong, you can only sync calendar & contacts via Google. So settings of your phone won't be backed up.
Success!! Thank you all for your suggestions. Gingerbread works smoothly now. Working through the first battery depleting cycles now, time will tell.
Sadly my car home app from samsung for the vibrant car dock doesn't work anymore. It does trigger car mode but it won't play the music through the dock's line out nor keep the screen on. Anyone else experienced this?
Maybe wait for a Gingerbread supported version of the app?
Thanks once more

Im having a serious problem. Anytime I try to add to or create a new contact, it force closes. I can't in any way edit any contact. The process is com.motorola.contacts. I am on stock 2.3 rooted only. I had previously frozen all the social and yahoo authenticators and since had no adverse affects, went ahead and uninstalled them all. However this was about a week ago, but this problem with contacts began this past weekend. Im at a loss. I need to get this working again. Im very uncomfortable with unlocking my bootloader to reflash as I don't understand the terminology you pros use and afraid to ask for fear of being called stupid (again) by some pros. Any help? And please if you feel the need to make me feel like a complete moron, please bite your tongue. Thank you.

what all did you delete???? that could very well be your problem. i know on my galaxy tab 7 i deleted the email app and my cam force closed every time and would not work, put the app back and all was fixed.
Yes, probably your contacts get fc 'cause you deleted the yahoo authentication, and I think the contacts (if some of your contacts have a yahoo account) use this authentication, so if the contact app doesn't find the authentication app this fc.
And probably if you deleted others sys apps linked with the contact app, you'll still having fc.
So, what apps did you delete?
Anyway you can try install the app(s) again with rootexplorer

The apps I deleted were all the authentication ones for facebook twitter and yahoo. However, I don't save any email addresses in my contacts. Only phone numbers. How would I go about finding the backup I have of those apps with tibu thru root explorer?

I suggest to freeze apps and don't uninstall them (unless you are 100% certain it's safe to delete).
I had the same problem as you, but in my case I just had frozen the authentication apps, which after I un-froze them, Contacts worked again.
Maybe a ROM reflash is what you need?

yep i had the same issue i couldnt add any contacts im not 100 but it may have been due. to a app i had installed not sure i do now i reflashed alienv4 and that new 1.4 oc kernal from faux and the other guy and the problem is solved now

I was thinking that too. How do I go about doing that without unlocking my bootloader and voiding my warranty. Im tech savvy, but not enough to be able to hide the unlocked if I need warranty service. Any help is so appreciated.

Most likely its because you installed the leaked Google+ app. Uninstall and your problem is solved.

I had the same problem when I freeze all the authentication apks.
The Solution: Un-frozen them.
If you have uninstalled them, you should get the apks and install them.
P.S. Sorry for my bad english >_>

You can try this 2 ways:
1. With root explorer go to: system/app then look for the apps you deleted, tap and reinstall them.
2. Any way can't reinstall the apps, you may try a factory reset: setting/privacy/factory data reset (using this way all your data will be erased)
