Hey I know this was probably posted before but I searched everywhere and I couldn't find info about this. I had some corrupted files and had to reinstall android ( here is the original post with the problem, it was solved http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=782615). I used Titanium backup to batch backup all my apps, It did. I reinstalled android, and went on the make a restore from my backup in Titanium. It did restore all the apps that came with froyostone and all the previous settings and things like the theme... but it did not install my market downloaded apps. In the program itself, it shows that there is a backup, but the apps are in grey and they say [not installed] before them (For example [not installed] amazon). It doesn't let me restore the app it only allows me to delete it. What do I do? can't find anything please help me guys!
Appreciate all the help,
Danny
I've been trying out a few ROMs, and have had problems retaining or restoring apps when moving to a new ROM or restoring an old one. I'm using ROM Manager Premium, and MyBackup Pro to backup/restore my apps.
The problems I've had are:
1. Moved from Virtuous G-Lite to MIUI, using ROM Manager to download and install MIUI, and selected the option to backup my existing ROM. Before doing so I also backed up all my apps and data using MyBackup Pro. When I installed MIUI and tried to restore my apps using MyBackup Pro most of the apps failed to restore, saying something like "no market data found" for each app.
2. Restored Virtuous G-Lite from recovery mode, using the backup taken above. Many of the apps were not correctly restored - their app icons were set to the Android Market icon, and when I tried to run them I got "could not launch the requested activity". These were typically non-core apps that I'd downloaded from the market.
When restoring apps using MyBackup Pro I've selected the option to restore apps only (not data), as I'd previously had problems with apps force closing if I restored apps and data.
Can anyone recommend a tried and tested way of restoring apps cleanly after switching ROMs?

Titanium backup is the best app of all. Also when you switched roms, did you do a full wipe on your phone? Because usually backup apps sometimes stores the backups on the phone data so when you wiped the phone is lost all data. Hope this helps

When I downloaded MIUI using ROM Manager I chose all three options (including wiping the Dalvik cache) - is that what you mean by wiping the phone?
When I backup my apps using MyBackup Pro I always backup to SD card, so the data should not be lost when wiping.
The specific error that I get when trying to restore my apps is "Android market link was not found"
I don't understand why it's trying to contact Android market if it's trying to restore an already-installed app?

try backing up with titanium backup. its be the best out there.
this is because you wiped your data from ROM manager and not from recovery
best thing to do when youre going to switch to a new ROM is to back up your apps (using either titanium backup or my backup) and then reboot into recovery and from there you factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache and battery stats THEN u flash the new ROM
some either use the g2superwipe, or something like that
but doing it this way is the best so you dont have to mess with half ass wipes that cause trouble when u want to restore your apps
With titanium backup pro
Go to menu
More
Market doctor
That should fix broken market links
Also don't backup with Google if using tb
Under home
Settings
Privacy
Auto restore
Edit... Be advised that wiping battery stats just be done properly. Do your homework before you wipe battery stats

I used MIUI and it's My Backup feature but it wasn't as awesome as Titanium Backup. Titanium Backup backs up your app and its associated data. Then when you restore all your apps/data it links everything back to the market so you can receive updates through the market. ROM Manager and Titanium Backup are two must haves for any user who has rooted their Android device and is playing with ROMs.
The apps that wouldn't restore for me with the whole market link thing were "blackmarket" apps. With those making sure you have saved the apk on your cpu or something seems important. I have titanium pro and mybackup pro.

Same here. PRO key is worth the few $$.
And yet another vote for Titanium Backup--the pro key is worth the money, and I've personally found the app a lifesaver during "rom experimentation"

yeah, but the pro version, because with the free one you have to re-install all your apps manually. It takes time when you have 100+ apps
Flashed yesterday DK 4.0.4. v5. After Titanium restauration of apk FC for every APK, including Google Maps, maildroid, any.do, Spirit FM others. Needed to reinstall all. Impossible to recover data through Titanium Pro.

The problem is that after reinstallation the apk works, but I can not restaure my data through Titanium. For ex. I could not recover all my task in any.do.
Also I have FC in google when I try to reinstal an application from Titanium.
May be I will flash again the rom and then decide if keep it or not.
Guys every app that I restore from titanium backup using app+data or data only force closes on TouchWiz. Although this doesn't happen when I use Gear CM rom.
Please help!!!
What apps? You can't restore system apps.

I can't restore user apps.
I'm looking to go install a new custom ROM on my Oneplus 2 stock lineage just lacks consistency at times.
I've restored my device to my last nandroid backup and that made titanium backup work, but once I uninstalled it and tried reinstalling from the play store the app won't open.
These are my specs:
Android version: 7.1.2
Kernel architecture: armv8l
Kernel version: 3.10.105-perf+
Build: Oneplus2-userdebug 7.1.2 NJH47F dd5fc74c17
I've already tried disabling google play protect and verify apps over USB to no avail, any and all help would be much appreciated :fingers-crossed:
Yeah get that sometimes myself. It's usually the same apps for me (Google music, and YouTube mainly) so I don't select them.
A good few more would freeze if moving from a N rom to a MM.
It's not working anymore though, any idea what it could be or should I just restore from the backup I made again and just use that?
I'll have to individually restore apps from titanium backup apk after reflashing the ROM I want right?
Is there any way to create my own update.zip that the paid version of titanium backup creates?
Try the zipme app
Thanks I tried it and it worked great ?
