I'm using Titanium Backup to restore my girlfriends apps and data from her Galaxy SII to the new Galaxy SIV. Both have stock roms. On the SII she has a native app that came with the phone called task 1.0, it's like a memo note. The SIV does not have this program. How do I get Titanium back to install the app and data on the SIV, or is this not possible since they are different phones? Every time I hit restore app+data it just sits there and nothing happens, does that mean they are not compatible across phones?
Is it an app that can be downloaded from the play store or is it a system app from the SII.

It's a system app I can't find in the play store.

Backups with TB do work between different devices. My guess is the app is not compatible with the S4 so it can't restore. Probably the resolution or the app is tied with the calendar on the S2. Something like that. Have you tried restoring without data? Might have to find an alternative app for the S4.

It's not tied to the calendar it's like the yellow note pad you just type stuff on like a post it. For some reason hers is called task instead of memo. I think you are right about it not being compatible. Just wanted to make sure I'm not doing something wrong. It does not give the option to restore without data for this app, only with data. I'm guessing it doesn't work with the IV because it has S Memo.

So I really like Titanium Backup, but my question is... when you restore backed up apps, is there a way for them to auto install without having to click "install" and "done" for each and every single app you backed up? I have a lotta apps and it gets annoying when I restore. Thanks
Batch options? its under Backup/Restore hit menu soft key..
If I am not mistaken, if you have the paid for version, you can do it in batch mode, which I am assuming doesn't prompt you for each app.
Paid version does that, well worth the money.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
I'm pretty sure even the free version does batch mode, how else would you back up all your apps at once? The paid version adds Dropbox sync functionality and is a bit faster, worth the money even without these extra features.
Paid version. Worth the chedder.
SyndicateROM v1.0.2 + Xtreme kernel v1.2.0 + Emotionless beast final = Great functionality, Exceptional performance, and Sweet eye candy.
Just to note: beware Titanium Backup. We've found it causes more problems than it solves, especially when restoring apps and data.

"we've"? Ive never had an issue as long as you don't restore stock apps. Or apps already part of the rom.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
The paid and free apps both do batch mode restores, but in the free app you have to click yes between each app. The paid app allows to start the restore and walk away while it finishes. Absolutely worth the price if you are trying our a lot of different roms every day. I've encountered zero issues with Titanium Backup...zero!

u can import saved data in clockworkmod and that will import your apps from before make sure u do backup first I tested and works every time

I have the paid version and I go to batch and pick restore all user apps plus data and it'll still ask me to hit install/done for each app and @Konane I've never had any problems with Titanium, Mybackup pro has been giving me headaches it freezes my phone when it gets to Beautiful Widgets and SNS app

Sorry for the confusion, when I use the collective "we" I'm speaking for ACS. The bugs usually crop up when one takes a backup from one ROM and restores it on another (dig through the SyndicateROM thread and you'll see several instances), but YMMV. We (ACS) don't recommend it for moving APKs between ROMs.
From my experience I just install the apks manually and then restore data via Titanium..as long as I'm using the Titanium's busy box it never failed once for restoring data.
As for clockworkmod restore method..I had it FC my Touchwiz going from DJ29 to DK17 and I was not using a custom theme or anything...
I think its all in what option you use to restore your apps and data.I find that using restore apps and all system data causes problems when going from rom to rom but if you use restore apps and data there are no problems with restoring your apps this is how I do it and have never had any problems.
Me too, I've never got MBP to complete sucessfully. So I've been using Titanium Backup, so far with no known problems.

So after upgrading from Nexus One to Nexus S, I expected all of my Nexus One apps to be automatically restored from google account on Nexus S. But it's not happening. Only 25 out of 100+ apps get restored.
On Nexus One I did wipes multiple times and all apps would restore automatically. Why is it not happening after upgrade to Nexus S?
Under my market account all N1 apps are listed. Nexus One is running CM7. On Nexus S I tried both stock and CM7 and it makes no difference to the restore outcome.
I didnt even know apps would restore.until i updated to 2.3.3 but updating to 2.3.4 didnt auto instal the apps,sadly.any wat to turn this on??

From my experience with the desire, only the apps which you have downloaded from the official android market are restored when you sync your phone with a newly flashed rom.

Almost all of the 100+ apps were installed on the old phone via official android market. They all are listed under my market account. But only small subset of them gets automatically reinstalled on a new phone.
The key difference here is that I want them restored on a new phone. When reflashing on the old phone, all 100+ apps get restored without any problems.

It can be turned on/off in the Settings > Privacy -> Back up my data. Also, when first time booting after wipe, the setup wizard shows dialog where this backup/restore can be disabled (it's enabled by default).
I like the feature.. Makes flashing roms cake..
What Google should do though is let you choose WHEN that restore happens and give you the option to start it manually. Coming from a fresh rom it starts the restore process on 3G service. Then you have to rush to flip on Wifi so you're not trying to download 43 apps on Sprints dialup 3G service so a few will be cut out during the transition from 3G to Wifi..
Still beats the crap out of the old way of restoring your apps.
Yeah, there should be google backup/restore native app that gives more control to the user on what and when to backup/restore.
Even better, the web market account should allow to select multiple apps and then send them to the device. Right now this is possible only for one app at a time.
Titanium ftw
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA Premium App
The same thing happens on my phone. I disabled it and just use Titanium Backup because the google backup was too unpredictable..
For rooted users, titanium is a good solution. But it sucks that for the non-rooted ones, the feature that is part of the OS behaves so unpredictably.
Hi,
Got my Nexus 4 today, currently I have the Samsung vibrant, is it safe to backup (titanium) all apps on the vibrant and restore them on the nexus 4?
Any other tips for migrating?
Thx!

Dunno about titanium, maybe if you were on Jellybean on the other phone. Otherwise i would say that its probably not transferable
Just poked my head in to say that i had the vibrant and its an amazing phone.. Sometimes i even miss it a little lol.
Welcome to the forum, im sure youll love your N4

As long as they are user installed apps there should not be a problem. Don't restore system apps.
It is however not advisable to restore apps from a different OS version. And the phone you have didn't even have ICS.

It would cause ALOT of problems, mainly because reusing apk's can cause errors and force closes. Just back up the data not the apk/app. If anything doesn't work clear data for the app.

Hi,
Currently I am using 4.2.2 on my Vibrant (SlimBean Rom), so it is the same OS.
Well, I've just now setup the phone (I am one of those who use to do a full charge before first boot), and choosed to
restore my google account, besides of settings it is also installing the apps for me. Now somehow it installs only the apps
that I currently have on my phone and not all the apps that I've ever downloaded (maybe I used Titanium to remove market links
the last time I restored my Vibrant phone, dunno).
Anyway, so I am starting clean, which is better I believe...
Thanks!

I have a Verizon Galaxy Nexus that is rooted and rommed, I am getting a Note 3 and I am wondering if all of my saved game data can be transferred to my new Note 3.
I save everything regularly with Titanium Backup, and obviously before I swap my sim Card to the Note 3, I'm going to fully backup everything.
Can I then root the Note 3 and install Titanium Backup and restore my app data after downloading these apps from the play store?
I think it should work, my only concern was if Titanium Backup encoded stuff according to the phone, since the two phones have different screen sizes and processing abilities.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Sure, you can do that with the titanium backup using cloud like dropbox or box. The games data shouldn't give you any problem except app data might give you problem. Who knows. good luck

Sorry, but I have not tried yet. I still don't have a note 3. I'll be getting one after Christmas. Since I'm clinging on to my unlimited data, it's going to be a big purchase.

You don't need to reinstall the apps. Just batch restore from tiBu

I had the galaxy nexus and swtiched to the note 3 as well. If you're only looking for a few games' data to be moved, and not a significant number of apps, once you root your note 3, your can use the app called Datasync. Over a wifi connection, you can transfer anything from one phone to another, whether it be game data, full apps, pictures video ringtones, anything. I'd link it but I'm new lol

I do this all the time for games... Even aps like phonemypc, Boa and Quickoffice. It's not a problem to restore the data from backups on other devices for any app you can download in the play store. I even use TiBu to restore my Call Log, Accounts and Text messages, which I guess is technically system data (TiBu highlights these with green), TiBu is able to handle that data very well... I'm sure it goes without saying, but just don't restore any system data (TiBu highlights these with red). Hope this helps.

You may have to reinstall BeepNGo first in order to properly get rid of it.
Titanium Backup is acknowledged as the best backup app out there and well worth buying the license.
It can do many things - freezing and removing apps being one thing, but you may need the full licensed version to do what you need.
You also need to be rooted.

Well, I installed the app from Play Store then uninstalled using Android Assistant. Then powered off & the Beep’nGo app was no longer there. However, the beaming app was still listed as an update in Play Store!!! I double-checked my backups via MyBackupPro & the parent app had not been backed up in the past. So, I guess I'll just have to live with the stupid beaming utility existing in Play Store forever as I'm not going to root my phone.

I have the same problem. Can't get rit of it in the google play list, so can't remove it, and it keeps trying to install with any updating. Realy awfull spam app. Hate it, but can't be removed...****ty google play!!!! Google should make it easier to remove apps from your list!!! Why don't they??
Please give the add-on (link) and the original app (link) a 1-star rating. With enough low ratings, they might reconsider forcing this down our throat. (I have an S5 by the way, same crap)
I got it removed...finaly.
I installed Titanium Backup and deleted it from the backup list. After that it had a "x" in google play and so i could then remove it. FINALY!!.
But still...removing ANYTHING should be made a lot easier by Google in the first place!
