Titanium Backup, app icons missing? Swype? - Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

After updating to the latest Dualboot Phiremod/Honeycomb, and restoring apps/data and system data with Titanium backup, several of the app icons are missing, and Swype keyboard no longer comes up, even though it is set as the default.
Can anyone help me out with this?

I've had similar issues in the past.
Only thing to do seems to be to just re-install the missing apps.

Thanks!
I guess nothing is perfect!

Titanium backup after upgrade and crashes

So before I went to 2.2.2 I backed my data, now I have some annoying crashes. I first noticed my music app crashing, I deleted it and made a fresh install to fix that, then going over the rest of my apps I actually noticed quite a few that were crashing because of the restoring. My main issue is alarm clock. I restored my settings of stock clock app and now it crashes and I can't set the alarm anymore... I tried deleting stored data, but that didn't fix it for any of the apps that crash. Why is this happening and how do I fix it?
i use to use t backup but it never proberly worked for me for some reason so i did a bit of searching and i use mybackup its availble on the market hope that helps
I get this with many apps (not all) when I restore them using Titanium Backup. What I've found is if I just restore the app w/o data, they all seem to work fine. If I restore App+Data, that's when it crashes. Hope this helps you.
Titanium backup
I quit using app backups long ago... I prefer to download the apk to my computer and keep them on file.
If I have to do a flash or restore then I install manually and since then I have never had to worry about force closes.
The advantage to this is that I find myself much more familiar with my phone and what it does. Instead of having a bunch of programs that do the same thing, I have cut down on my app installs by half and now my phone is quicker and more intuitive
Yeah, I guess I need to switch back up app. Thanks for the tip about restoring just the app without data, that did in fact fix the problem.
Is there any way to fix my clock stock app? Titanium restores only data, so when I try to access the alarm, it crashes. Any way to reinstall it without factory reset?
cdzo72, Well, backup is more convenient, because it restores your settings as well.
agree sometimes backing up data aswell has strange results in the end

Properly restoring.

Can someone tell me the proper way to fully restore all apps using titanium backup and google restore?
Should I allow google to restore what it can and then let Titanium backup do the rest? When I tried this way it seemed that TB didnt restore all of my app information (such as game progress). When I tried to skip the google restore and let TB do all the work, it restored everything but now none of my apps show up in the market so I dont think they will show updates.

On titanium backup, hit menu and go to batch. Restore all apps with data.
DO NOT RESTORE SYSTEM DATA​That will ruin the ROM or mod or whatever you did​

I did this and my apps don't show up in the market so I don't think they will show updates. Also this method doesn't restore my settings for the OS.

showing up in the market has to do with your linked email address
some settings cant be saved onto an sd card so they cant be restored

Can you explain how to do this? Right now I have all my apps restored but they don't show up in market.
I was thinking let android do a restore of my apps first and then run TB to restore all the settings but I dont think it will restore settings of apps that are already installed.

Firgured it out.
I wiped, loaded new rom, startup screen up restored all apps from android backup. Then loaded up and restored "app data only" for all my apps.
I now have all my apps installed, all their info was retained, and they all show up in the market.
The only thing that didnt get fully restored was my home screens and all the settings in the main settings app.

If you're using ADW, you can back up your settings right from ADW settings.
If you're not using ADW.....I'm sorry.
Will adw backup my home screens and system settings?

Everything within ADW, yes.
I usually do the titanium restore first thing then after a while the market catches up, some of my apps are side loaded so it saves alot of trouble. Adw Is great for restoring screen transitions, rows and columns etc.

Titanium Backup did not restore my call log either

Am I doing something wrong? I've restored the calls using a special program that makes its own backup, but I'd rather do it all from within TB if that was possible.
I've restored all of the green items and rebooted, but the logs did not come back.
I'm sure somebody will correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think that TB backs up call logs. As much as the developer maintains it you'd think he would build that in, but I'm not aware of such a feature.
Called logs are part of 'system data', which I don't think is a 'green item' in TB. Try restoring all system data. Also, if you are going from one version of Android to another, you may have to enable "migrate system data" option in TB's preferences.
"Dialer Storage" is the item that holds your call logs and sms/mms messages
It backs up my call logs...
Also, this would be better in q & a

Did u happen to switch between 2 different roms?
My logs are restored when I use restore all apps and system data. You have to be careful about doing that between firmware versions.

Totally agree with this^^^^. More times than not it causes problems.
The "red stuff" its ok to restore data for. At least for me. But things like settings I usually do manually

Has anyone tried out App Manager and App Manager Pro by JRummy? I have been using it instead of Titanium. Pro version has freeze apps, wipe app cache, tons of options ...

I use both this and TB. Personally I like MyBackup for backup and restore of SMS, MMS, and call logs. TB I use for restoring individual applications and their data. But I used both to backup everything just in case one of them fails to backup and/or restore something.

[Q] Google News & Weather app not restoring with Titanium Backup Pro

So I updated the Google New & Weather app to check out the new update but decided I liked the old one better. I had made a Titanium Backup of the old version before updating and was able to restore the old version with no problem until I had to reboot my phone. After the reboot, the News & Weather app completely disappeared so I tried to reinstall with Titanium Backup and and now it won't install. I'm assuming because it was a system app? I've tried several times and Titanium just hangs on the reinstalling screen and once I even left it for about an hour and a half. Any ideas to get the old version reinstalled? Thanks.

the apk you can find simply by googling the right search terms. i originally found it that way within seconds. anyways, you can restore the nandroid backup and move/copy the app that way.

I was hoping to reinstall using what I already have. But I did find the apk, put in the correct place with the correct permissions rebooted and still doesn't work. I even found a flashable zip and that didn't work, nandroid didn't work, titianium backup didn't work. Nothing seems to work, I do appreciate your help though.

Titanium Backup Fix

Hey all, just getting ready to update to a Latest rom, but can anyone tell me if there is a fix for Titanium backup. Anytime I go to do a batch back up it completely crashes the app when it gets to the selection screen of apps.
Looks like it has something to do with filters itself, because the app crashes if you click on them when navigating installed apps. Would rather not have to manually backup everything.
I know the issues stems from Android 5.1 as I had to restore manually when I first updated to it. Wasn't sure if there was a work around for match backups yet.
Any help would be much appreciated.
