After restoring system data my market broke. I would get a error when tring to download any app.

Do you have the issue with the apps not appearing as installed on the market when restoring apps with titanium? This causes the apps not to be able to be updated. Havent tried myself on the tab but i have read of people having this issue with titanium and honeycomb.
I'm guessing that restoring system data from one rom to another is going to cause you some problems.
market doctor in the setting menu should find the the market keys. That seems to be working.
Coming from the evo 4g i only really heard of issuse if you tryed to restore a sence build to cm you would get a ton of f/c
So i thought tw to tw would be fine
After the update when I restored my tab with my google account, almost all of my apps were reinstalled except Titanium Backup. When I go into market and my apps I don't even see TB as an uninstalled program.
Now I am not even sure all of my apps are showing up there, I think most of them are but I am not sure.

Free downloaded Apps showing up in the market. Is new to me. On all of my phones after I flashed only paid Apps would sync with my account. So ti backup was necessary.
It looks like the market is getting better. I still use ti to back up logins and saved games.
After the last flash I only found about 12 out of the 60 Apps not installed about the same amount of Apps I sideloaded (amazon and xda)

Hello guys so I recently switched roms to Evo x4. Then i started bringing in backups from titanium backup like contacts, media,etc so then i rebooted. I left wifi on but when reboot done, wifi just kept on scanning. so using root browser i found that my wifi folder and the other file(located on very bottom) had wrong permissions. Every box was.ticked. so i repermissioned them and rebooted but to only see that my permissions had not been saved. someone help.using 3g now but not for long
HnnnnnnnnmnHmmmmmmmmGpuuuuuuuuuuuuu
never use titanium back to restore system apps - if you did reinstall the rom - only restore user apps
with wifi make sure you are using the correct wifi driver for the kernel you are using
there are no bugs like you mentioned in evo x4 so reflash the rom and both ota updates and then only restore user apps

Just fix permissions in recovery/advanced options.....
And also while changing permissions mount system as rw...
For wifi u can try flashing dhd stock zip. (for hells fusion its dhd1.1)....
Don't fix permissions ^^
You'll end up having force closes of system apps after you reboot!
Uninstall Pure Performances and then see if the wifi works or not.
First i set right permissions, then shutdown, then to cwm,then advanced>fix permissions, then reboot now every thing is okay. Tq to all who help
Edit: Nope, Im starting to think Titanium backup's "wifi access points" restore had something to do with this. Problem still not solved and i cant really use a computer to restore stick rom

Titanium Backup is the cause. I have experienced it before. You can reflash Evo x4 rom and everything will be alright. But don't restore that backup. If you restore the backup on where you took it (ex.Stock ROM), then it will be alright. The toggles, apps are worked on the Evo x4 ROM. Therefore, if you flash stock apps again, it will cause the instability.
Press thanks if I have helped you.
In Android settings--> Backup and reset, u can backup your data at your gmail account to use it for restore later.

i think its just app data so if your on level 6 on a game and you get a new phone it will start on level 6
but it says: backup wifi passwords, settings!!
maybe it will restore this stuff after u do a factory reset, to help u save time and efforts to do all of that after the reset?!
and if that is correct, if u choosed not to automatically restore, it will give u an option to restore only what u want?!

yeah passwords in google like website passwords
When you backup your data via backup option, it saves WiFi passes, Google account info etc.
When you re-set up your phone from another ROM or after a reset, you enter your existing Google account data and you have an option to restore all the apps you had previously from the Play store and it auto downloads them for you. - it saves certain phone settings to.

Soon as you sign into your Google account via your phone after a restore/wipe, it'll ask you if you wish to restore your settings and apps, not sure where Google actually store this data though or if it's accessible (don't think it is)

I want to update to CM11 M6 but I can't get my phone to make a nandroid (using ClockworkMod) because I keep getting an error basically saying I have insufficient storage. These are the steps I take:
Backup using titanium
Go into recovery
Backup using ClockworkMod
It's at this point where it lists backing up the system, but then it gets hung up backing up the data card. I have tried to go back in and delete everything I could possibly think of (w/out wiping the whole thing) but to no avail. I have cleared my cashe and even deleted the titanium backup which was around 1gb and still no dice.
Attached are some screenshots that may be helpful. There has to be something hidden but I just don't know where to look for it. I tried to install DiskUsage but I can't since I don't have enough room. How do I clear up this phone?! Any help would be much appreciated!!

You need at least 3GB of free space to make CWM able to create backup... but you won't find that backup in /sdcard/cloclworkmod folder it's in /storage/emulated/blablabla or something like that and you won't be able to get access there from your computer

Ok, I'm not sure I understand. I'm in the emulated folder and went into the clockworkmod folder and keep descending and come to just 1 file that is just 7.63mb called "recovery-clockwork-....img". This can't be the solution, can it?
try in /storage/emulated/legacy/clockworkmod... or flash TWRP instead of CWM... if both won't help then you can try to make a backup with toolkit for PC, for example Wug's toolkit
Twrp is showing the backup size and a poseibility to compress it. You probably have much apps or there is some .something fokder what is using much or much cache just like on an desktop. Many things can cause it.
You may want to checkout what is using so much by deleting old folders from old apps or old things yiu dint use anymore.

TWRP 2.6.3.3
So heres how i ended up in this situation. I installed a custom kernel the other day and find it not to be useful for me.
Before i flashed the kernel i made a backup on my rom. I used TWRP 2.6.3.3 but if failed in the middle of the backup. So i used online nandroid backup. And backup was successful. When i find the custom kernel not not useful for me, I decided to restore the nandroid backup i made. Did not wipe anything. During the restoration I noticed that TWRP restarted.Then it prompted me to a No OS Installed (something like that). I wipe dalvik and cache i think. ThenI tried to restore it again and completed the restoration. When it booted, looks like i only did a factory reset, which should not be the case. I restored it like twice but same result. Now i ended up installing all the apps again. I was able to install some of the apps from Nandroid Manager. Only the apps and not the data as it took forever to restore one app, i have like 200 apps. I used TB to restore apps and data but it looks like it only detect 7 apps (all were xposed modules). Im almost done now but I have 2 apps that i want to restore but cant. MagicJack as we can only register the app one time. And i used temporary email when i registered which i already forgot. And also i want to restored one of my google account which i used in registering in some sites. Too bad i forgot the password.
So yesterday I decided to install TWRP 2.7.1.1 (with OTG support). i have installed it successfully. because i want to restore the old nandroid backup. I nlow made a titanium backup so i can restore the apps with data.
Now when i go to TWRP i noticed that the file size of the data is toooooo big. (see the pic)
When i hit the refresh it shows the real size but then it goes back to the wrong file size.
As a result i cant backup because the file is too large for my 16Gb USB using OTG.
Now im using the online nandroid backup again, and backup seems to be fine.

Someone please help me.
I dont know if its a bug or I just f*cked up my phone.
I also tried the 2.7.1.0 still the same.
Do you know any recovery that support USB otg?
I used cwm on my old phone and it works like it should.
What version of twrp do you use?
I'm trying to side load the OTA for Lollipop using adb and the files available from Google. My device is unlocked and rooted.
I run the commands to sideload the zip file and everything seems to be working fine until I get this:

I've cleared the cache partition but to no avail.
Does anyone have any insight or am I going to have to wipe everything?
Well I went ahead and did a Flash Stock + Unroot and now it's worse. No error messages. Just the android with the red triangle exclamation mark.
I'm getting fed up with this crap. Every time there is an OTA I have to jump through hoops to get it running again.
Anyone have clues about what to do now?

If you already flashed stock and lost you user data plus can still get into the bootloader, then I suggest using a factory image to upgrade to Lollipop. I've ignored OTA's and have been applying the factory image for a while.
Not in this case but for next time, with the aid of root, a custom recovery to make a nandroid backup, Titanium backups for apps and user data. Prior to applying a factory image save a copy of the Titanium Backup directory, the nandroid backup plus any sundry files that were not backed up to a OTG SDCard (an OTG cable plus USB SDCared reader), getting back to your specific set up is not all that complicated. Plus you get to "spring clean" any old cruft that has built up wasting internal storage.
See: How to install Android Lollipop factory image on Nexus 5, 7 and 10 (and keep your data)
I have the same problem
I had system partition full after L update. I did it with factory image. I had to remove some apps from system to get adaway, busybox and so on working.
How to get more system space??

Deleting apps from /system is the only option that I've heard of. You cannot change the /system partition size even if you have spare internal storage. If you're rooted then this sounds worse than it is because there is plenty of apps you likely do not use (e.g. some of the google apps like news). You're also unlikely to use some of the foreign language apps. Even some of the main Google aps get updated out side of /system making the the /system apks redundant.
Without even trying hard I removed 86MBs worth then installed all I wanted (e.g. busybox, Viper4Android ... etc) and still have 54Mg free. So I could have left a lot of apps installed but I'd never use them anyway.
You can delete /system apks if your rooted with a number of different apps:
- Titanium Backup
- A Root enabled file manager like ES File Explorer
- My personal favourite System app remover (ROOT)
Lots of options.
Skullpuck, did you find a solution?
Did you guys try ADB version 1.0.32 or newer? Something has changed in the sideload command (could be only when using TWRP, not sure)
