I'm having issues with Titanium backup not showing any apps to backup on my vibrant. When i go to batch they all have 0 in front of the app count.
-I have my phone rooted
-I tried restarting the phone
-i tried reinstalling the app
-I tried refreshing the app list
Download busy box like the app tells you to.

Were you trying to make a backup or restore your apps from another phone? If restore, you need to change the "Backup folder name" in the preferences. It will default to "/sdcard". Change it to "/sdcard/sd". Then back out to the main Titanium screen, then Menu->More->Reload Application. Your old backups will show up now.
So a wipe is the only thing that will fix this? I have been racking my brain to figure out what I needed to change. This kinda sucks but I guess I'll have to try it now
Edit: Just tried the busybox way & BAM! I got my apps back! Sweet thanks for this

no i was just trying to make a backup.
Launch titanium. Click "problems?" Button and choose "do it" or whatever. It will install new busybox

This might sound silly but just to make sure, you have your license on your sd card for titanium right?
yes it's on the sd card.
I am getting a replacement evo because of problems with my headphone Jack. My current phone is rooted and I have nandroid backups of my favorite roms and setups. My question is after getting my new phone (and rooting it of course) will my nandroid backups from the current phone that are on the SD card be able to be used or do I have to pretty much just start over?

You can use certain aspects of them.
But you obviously can't restore things like the Wimax information.
If you copy them from your current phone to your computer, then from your computer to the new one after it's rooted you'll still have them. It's good to always keep them on your computer anyways if you break or loose your phone or sd card.

Be careful.....you do not want to restore your old RSA keys onto your new phone.....you possibly will lose your new ones in place of your old ones ...and when a phone is returned those keys are deactivated ......

qft.
op - pay a few bucks and get titanium backup (if you haven't it already). do a full back up (apps/app data and system data). if you decide to run the same rom you can do a full restore using titanium on the new phone. if you use a different rom, restore apps and data and some system backups only (i.e. bookmarks, wifi configs, bluetooth configs, sms/mms to name a few).
When you get your new phone, be sure to use the latest (2.2.1) version of Amon recovery, and back EVERYTHING up (including wimax!) with this done, you can always save yourself later if you run into problems.
If you *previously* used Amon, you'll want to take out the wimax.img's from the backup directories, otherwise you'll overwrite your new phone's wimax radio with the backup from the now defunct phone.
No no no do not use a nand backup from one evo to another you will copy your RSA keys to the new phone overwriting the new phones keys. If you have to ask you are probably not aware of what your rsa keys are or how to extract them. Just do a TI backup of the apps on the old phone and use it to restore apps and app data only.

Wimax is busted and if you were to restore nandroid make sure you have the same hboot as your previous evo

So if im in a area that doesn't get wimax it really has no effect on me? I'm in Kansas City and we do have 4g but I'm just asking out of curiosity. I'm a n00b so I'm trying to learn what I can.

Best advice ....don't over write your keys for the sake of settings which can be restored in other ways....
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
it has no effect on you this moment but if say in a month you get 4g in your area or you travel to an area that has 4g... you are basically SOL. the phone will never be able to use 4g once you lose your keys.
It jsut isnt worth completly killing yuor 4g to save you from a little work in resetting up your phone. For me the titanium back up method worked best. Witht he same rom there is no real issue restoring the system settings and apps and if yuo have the pro version it is easy and hassle free.
You can also edit your nandroid folder. Delete the images that you do not want, in this matter the wimax.img, and edit your nandroid.md5 to remove that particular entry. Then try your restore. You definitely would not want to restore a different phone's wimax.img though, so make sure it is removed.
nandroid.md5 file contents:
91cebe6b52d9e64c01c30653a5d2266a boot.img

Point blank don't do it not worth the headaches. Rooting and backup could take only 15 minutes out of your life...no biggie

I have the same problem......
My charging port was bad and Sprints replacing my phone and I will have the new one any day. I have everything backed up with titanium and rom manager.
What steps do I need to get rooted again.... After reading this, i cant just load up my old rom and be done I guess! Thanks in advance.
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.

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...

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.

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.

Does anyone else find it very time consuming to have to reinstall all of your data after every rom wipe? I find my self never leaving a rom for awhile because of the whole set up process including the Google set up.

I suppose Ti is best, but I haven't seen a ics friendly one available on the open seas
Nandroid? I only have 1 one my phone and thats 2.3.3 stock.

Titanium is definitely ics friendly. If you have pro (or on free.. idk), set up filters with your must have apps. When you clear data ans flash a new rom, it will verify your TB account and restore settings, including filters. Just toggle the filter and do a batch restore. I was in the same boat you were til I started doing this.
And yes, TB also has a feature to restore apps or data, extracting from a nandroid backup.
•°NS4G • ICS°•
Or you could use es file explorer. Just go to the app manager button on the central screen, by pressing it it shows up all ur apps. Choose which ones you want and back them up. After flashing just restore using file explorer in the same manner...
The apps can also be found on the sdcard under backups/apps.
Astrofile manager does exactly the same job.. your pick.

just save a copy of a TB apk to your SD.
Thats if the custom rom that has a file explorer preloaded. If not has to download also from market
Another annoying thing Google doesn't add to OS besides a restart option is a built in file explorer

Wrong. Even the free one lets you create a flashable zip.
Moreover, you could make it build as a regular update.zip or even make it install as a system app or an user app.

Noob question...flashed phone for first time yesterday and performed a backup using titanium free. When I flash a new rom don't you usually have to wipe data first? Would this not wipe the backup from your phone?
Thanks in advance!
It stores a copy in a folder called TitaniumBackup. If you wipe the SD card (or storage for us) that is different.
It is a hassle having to reinstall an app like Chase that requires a confirmation text. TB (Pro for me) makes restoring login info, etc a snap. Worth the $.

Noob replying to a noob (so pardon me, if i stumble):
When flashing a new ROM, you wipe - system, dalvik cache, data and boot ( perhaps not reqd.) Wiping SD card not required when installing new ROMs, unless it's the first time, and you're putting CWR on a Nexus S... However, some developers do recommending a full SD Card wipe as well. I assume you copy the Titanium backup folders to your PC, and copy it back before restoring.. Haven't tried that yet..
---------- Post added at 11:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:49 PM ----------
Probably will have to buy Pro, since it's getting to be a pain to restore my apps, with the permissions for each one...
Somehow, TiBackup doesn't seem to restore my homescreen settings, though I remember reading somewhere that it should do that as well..
Also, learnt the hardway not to try restoring Call logs and Messages when moving from a GB ROM to an ICS ROM... Boot loops with 2 ICS roms (Nexusbeam and Brainmaster's )
So, what all can you restore using TiB with your eyes closed?
I am still new to this phone, but with the Evo we had a zip file that wiped the system, data, cache, etc instead of remembering which ones to wipe. Maybe there is something like that for the Nexus?
I only restore apps, so I am not much help outside of that. With TB Pro all you have to do is click batch and restore all the apps with data automatically while you sit there and wait. I generally restore user apps only, maybe someone else can chime in with advice on restoring settings?
There is also an option to save backups on your drop box account, but I don't.
I am a flashaholic, one of the reasons I bought a used NS4G was because I was bored with the Evo. Titanium Backup (Pro) makes it fast and easy to restore apps and data when flashing new ROMs.
My mytouch 4g is rooted and running Hyperion Yoshi. I don't really like the layout of it so I'm going to try and flash CyanogenMod. When doing a full wipe before flashing a new rom, I thought it wiped everything on the sd card too except back up files such as Voodoo rootkeeper and the backup made in CMW. Unfortunately, it does not remove all the app folders, files you downloaded, etc. It basically only removes the system files...So my question is how do I remove the nonessential items or rather what back up files do I need to keep and just format my sd card so everything is clean?

I want to delete EVERYTHING except for the backups, but I don't know what the backs up are and I'm scared to delete stuff because it might make things on the phone nonfunctional or accidentally delete a backup.
Backups would be in clockworkmod recovery if your talking about nandroid(backup of your system)

My mytouch 4g is rooted and running Hyperion Yoshi. I don't really like the layout of it so I'm going to try and flash CyanogenMod. When doing a full wipe before flashing a new rom, I thought it wiped everything on the sd card too except back up files such as Voodoo rootkeeper and the backup made in CMW. Unfortunately, it does not remove all the app folders, files you downloaded, etc. It basically only removes the system files...So my question is how do I remove the nonessential items or rather what back up files do I need to keep and just format my sd card so everything is clean?

What you need is Titanium Backup, it can backup apps and system apps. Also you could use usb storage and make a backup of your sd card on your pc in case you delete something you needed.

No he is very aware of what's going on. You posted something totally irrelevant to the question. What he is saying is when you give help, give actual help don't just say something good about a good app. That doesn't help the person who asked for help. Merry Christmas. Don't be rude

Apparently you didn't understand either. Oh well. Ask for clarification if you don't understand. In any case no need to fight about it.
