[Q] Restore Titanium backup apps not working

OK when I got my phone. I activated it, rooted, installed titanium and did a full apps+system backup. Then removed the apps that I did not want to use. Since 2.2 maybe coming around the corner I tried to restore all apps+system data. This worked except for I cannot restore any of the apps that I made backups of such as all home(blur), desk(blur), cityid, blockbuster, social... stuff, news, help etc.. Titanium has never failed me before with my rooted droid.
Does anyone know how I can either get titanium to restore these, or does anyone have a /system/apps dump that I can put all default apps back in. I am assuming that without these apps I will not get the update.
BTW: did use Titanium wrong for this approach of making a backup?

Hey,
I had the same thing happen to me, I believe its because you probably did not install busybox just like i did not from inside titanium. None the less just go to droidxforums.com there are copys of the system dumps just make sure you get a system dump that matches your firmware version. Then once installed make sure you adjust the permissions on all the apks to match what ever else is inside the system\apps folder.
And B-LAMO! your done!
btw make sure you get the correct verison of the system dump or else its just a big waste of time

thanks
I found a system dump and moved all apps back over, installed set permissions and yep blam that simple. Thanks for the help

[Q] Restore system app from different ROM

Alright so I have been doing alot of ROM swapping and I found a few apps from other ROMs that I really like but don't exist in my current ROM. Obviously its possible to take apps from one ROM and put it in another otherwise you wouldn't see custom ROMs that are baked with apps from different ROMs baked in.
For instance I really would like to restore the splashtop app from the Dexter's Asus port so I can use it in Taboonay. Titanium Restore just hangs until I kill the app.
Can someone tell me how I can take my titanium backup of a system app from a different ROM and restore it to my current ROM?

Really? No one? Come on guys.

you must backup the application you wanna choose, on the first custom rom with titanium, and then restore it in the other rom. but it's not all application can restore it up.

Yeah I tried that and it didn't restore. It just hung titanium and I had to terminate titanium. I tried doing an ADB push of the APK to the /system/App folder from the titanium backup zip file but when I launch it it just force closes.
Could Asus have done something to this APK so that it would only work on the Transformer? (Splashtop)

not sure if titanium backup will back up and restore the /system/lib files. Some apps need these to work and won't install or run without them.

Evo 4g stock files?

I deleted a few of my stock files with titanium backup pro. When I try to restore them, TBP just keeps saying restoring app+data & the status icon keeps spinning.
Is there a place I can download the stock apps I removed?
Thanks

You could probably find a stock ROM that matches your version in the development forum that you could get the apps from. It does not matter if you get a rooted version of the ROM. You just want to get the odexed stock ROM that you can get the apx and odex files to replace the ones that you have removed.

You are not supposed to remove stock system files, you are supposed to freeze them. You will probably have to reflash the rom to get those files back.

You can remove the system files if you are sure that you will never need them again. Freezing them is a way of preventing them from running without actually removing them... useful for testing to see if removing the program causes any unforeseen problems.
If you have removed a file and now have changed your mind about not wanting it (i.e. Now that it is football season you find that you really do want Sprint NFL back) it is also possible to get it back without reflashing. You can extract the apk and odex (if any) out of the stock ROM and place them back in system\app. I have done this with Root Explorer. Make sure that you set the permissions back (to 644) after copying the files.

Which stock are you running? 4.53, 4.24, 4.22, 3.70?
And which apps?

Titanium Backup questions

Hey guys,
So I recreated a 100% stock device to update to 4.2.2 and had all my Titanium Backup files in a folder on my PC. I then successfully
updated, rooted, and am running stock ROM with no kernels. I cut and pasted all the Titanium files into the newly created folder in my device
but nothing shows up in my restore options. Please help as I am in dire need of the information in the backups. Thanks in advance.

a little information on what you did would be nice
i'm assuming you:
installed titanium backup
copied your old backup files into sdcard/titaniumbackup (this folder should be automatically created if you installed tbackup)
then open titanium backup?
if it doesn't see the backups kill the app and restart it
if that doesn't work, try backing up a random application and see where the information is being stored on your tablet. then move your old files into that same folder.
remember that if you're restoring applications that you haven't installed, it will be listed at the bottom of the app list in tbackup with a line through the name

Had to reinstall Titanium Backup and then do the whole kill app/restart process and it worked. Thanks a lot!

Thanks mate....lifesaver

How can I delete bloatware?

I'm on a rooted but stock 10p.
I have tried to completely uninstall/delete bloatware like facebook, evernote, etc.
Titanium backup seems to uninstall and delete them, but they come back when I reboot the phone.
How do I uninstall and delete these?
Thank you in advance.
