I was backing up my apps and messing with Xposed Framework when I suddenly realized at the bottom of Titanium list that "media" is there with a strike-through. I don't have any backups of it.
I remember seeing media under data usage, and it shows ~450B of background data usage, so it must have been there at some point. It looks like an android core app or service, and it's missing now. Does anyone know how to get it back or what file I'm missing? I even tried reloading a nandroid backup from a few days ago, and it's still missing there. Funny thing is I don't remember it missing before when I scrolled to the bottom of the Titanium list.
I am on a dev edition running Beans rom v2.
Any help would be really great. See the picture showing the missing app.
Missing in mine as well... not sure what it was, but it hasn't caused any problems...
Oh cool, thank you. It's good to know it's not because of something I did then. I was starting to get worried about what I messed up.
I wonder why that app even shows up missing if it's completely uninstalled.

Hi,
My SPB backup stops working after a while.
When I run it and start the backup it just seats there with the cube turning for ever and the completion bar doesn't move at all. Un-install and reinstall doesn't fix it. Even restoring a backup of the time it used to work doesn't fix it. But when I hard reset and everything from scratch fixes it (so I don't think it's any particular program I have installed). After I reinstalled it, it worked for about a month and then died again. This has happened twice so far. I'm tired of reinstalling everything from scratch.
Has anyone had any experienced this?
THanks,

**********PROBLEM FIXED***********
SPB Softwarehouse just wrote to me with the Solution, and dew.man was correct. The solution is to :
uncheck the 'Stop processes before backup' option in Spb Backup-> Tools-> Advanced options to see if it solves the problem?
Thanks everyone.

OH Good at least, now I know it's not just my device.
I sent a message to SPBSoftwarehouse, I'll let you know if I hear anything.
Me Too!!!!
I have the same problem. It squawks that it is unable to backup some file in Windows with a weird name and just hangs trying to copy it. I found that out when I left it run over night. I too have sent a request for assistance to spb but it has been over a week now and no response from them. I have since switched to another backup program for now.

Which one are you using? is it similar in capability, power, and reliability to the SPB?
Thanks,
I had the same thing happen.
It stopped working after i decided to test out my latest backup. After i restored the device, it has not worked since. It was my first time restoring, before that it always made backups whenever i tried.
I never let it sit there all night, i'll give that a shot and see the file name it is stuck on.
There's a simple fix for this.
I don't remember the exact location off the top of my head, but when you're doing a backup, there's a setting/checkbox to stop all processes. Changing this from the default clears up the freezing, yet still yields reliable backups.
sprite backup is great, but dont really want to pay for it.
got the SPB one free, so would like fofr it to start working again...

Using SKTools which includes a backup function. It appears to work without intervention and actually reboots the device twice during the process to ensure that it is in complete control of what is running (only itself). I never received a response from spb and my question would be - How reliable is a backup that allows other processes to run at the same time? Any file that the backup program does not have exclusive access to will either not backup or if it does will be corrupted (I am the second person on the backup team at a major Canadian University). So that option of not stopping processes before backup does not seem like a good one to me!

I see your point. I ran a backup and the error logs shows the same errors as when SPB was stopping the running programs. I will however pose that question to SPB and see what they say.
I will do a hard reset and restore just to see for myself. I'll pst the results.
--------
I just did the test. Hard Reset to stock Touch and restored the file and everything is there and all the programs I tested seem to work fine.
Haha I had the same problem, I must have unchecked the box once while I was playing around with my settings. I tried to use spb again yesterday and I was suprised that it didn't freeze. I had no idea it was because I had unchecked the box. I wish I had cam accross this post earlier however, would have saved me some greif.
I've used SpbBackup extensively while playing with custom roms, and found it very reliable.
You gotta remember that most of the processes running/file locks are OS related and you should not be using Spb between different OS versions anyway...
Mine recently started doing this to. Using SPB backup which used to work flawless. First, I cannot get it to do a scheduled backup. Everything is set for 2AM M-Sun but when I wake up in the morning I find that it did not back up or is frozen in the backup program.
Second, when I try to run a manual backup, it takes forever to start (and says backup process has not been restonding, do you want to cancel backup?).
I recently installed UltimateLauncher but nothing else I can think of (although I can constantly tinkering, etc.). It seems very sporatic, sometimes it will work, sometimes it won't. I have checked to see that the "stop processes" box is checked.
Any ideas?

it has to be unchecked. (the program freezes when it tries to stop the processes)
Holy crap. you're right. In my mind I had it reversed even though I knew what that meant. I have unchecked it and will check to see if it backups up tonight. Sweet! thanks!

Thanks mate. I just got SPB Backup and it just kept freezing on me. This simply fixed it!
Hey guys....I've had the Glacier for two weeks and I couldn't be happier. I got the OTA 2.2.1 and rooted it without any problems. Then, today I got a "android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly" only when I go to the phone dialer or contacts. Everything else works perfectly. Earlier today I changed the boot animation and the splash screen...both work flawlessly. I changed the boot animation back to stock and see if that would fix it but no luck. I have rebooted and taken the battery out several times but no go. I checked around and no one else seems to have the same issue. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated....Thanks in advance.
Edit...I just fixed the problem...I had downloaded a Tmobile voicemail app that was causing a conflict. I uninstalled it and I'm golden again. I appreciate the help. Thanks.
I've had this come up intermittently since rooting, and haven't been able to nail it down to one specific action or app, etc. It's happened since doing perma-root, and doesn't seem to matter if I'm running stock ROM or CM6.1 Alpha (which I flashed last night - had this pop up once or twice since).
It's annoying, but hasn't caused any real problems so far.
Would be nice to figure out why it's happening, and find a resolution.
What apps, if any, have either of you deleted since rooting?
Does it write any useful exception information in the log file?

I haven't deleted any apps...just hid them under general settings using Launcher Pro...the only other thing I did different today was unlock the SIM using the code Tmobile sent me but I can't imagine that has anything to do with it....Just can't access the Phone at all or the Contacts without a force close...I'm stumped...
Trying to figure out a good way to upload a log file...
I think it might have something to do with permissions..it said among other things...
W/dalvikvm*3381):Refusing to reopen boot DEX'/system/framework/com.htc.android.pimlib.jar
not sure what that means....
Please post questions in Q&A section.
Yep, I'm having the same issue. It does it when I'm using a few applications like Twidroid, even ChompSMS, and another one. I'm thinking it has less to do with what applications I'm using at that time (meaning it would do it no matter what application I had open) but those 2 I use 95% of my time on the phone.
& I as well have not deleted any applications only freezed them with Titanium Backup Pro.
Hey everyone. Have an unrooted Evo. Just installed the most recent OTA. A few days before that my wifi started turning on by itself. After doing some snooping around in my phone I found an app called securephone running. It looks like spyware, I'm not sure how it got there, or what app I downloaded that added it, but keep an eye out, and if anyone has any info I'd appreciate it.
Looks like it logs and uploads your call history. Got a nosey girlfriend?
http://www.appbrain.com/app/securephone/security.Phone
I was thinking that but it has no user interface, instructions or settings. After uninstalling I even went and reinstalled it myself from the market to see, but nothing.
Yeah I don't know then, maybe there is some hidden way to get into its menus, it certainly wouldn't be the first app like that. It does have the most extensive permissions list that I have ever seen so methinks it can't be good. Just get it back off your phone and keep a close watch on whoever has access to your EVO.
I found one listing that says "This application seems to be removed from the Android Market". ?

Do you have an Exchange account installed? Could be your Admin forced the installation remotely.
Otherwise, yeah, it's your significant other.
At the bottom of my Titanium Backup application list I see two entries: `com.android.htcprofile` and `recovery`. Both are crossed out, as if they stand for uninstalled applications. They are not backed up, so there's no reason for them to appear in the list. Refreshing the list does not make these entries to go away.
What are these entries? What is the importance of having them in the list? Why does Titanium Backup display these entries in the list, even though Titanium Backup itself seems to understand that they are "uninstalled" and not backed up?
BUMP
I was wondering the same thing, I don't see Recovery anywhere in my list but I do see com.android.htcprofile
I'm having problems with my widgets disappearing on the stock Rom. Only on the stock homescreen not ADW. Was thinking this could be the cause possibly?

If it was i am thinking it is.
HTC profile is a stock application much like blackberry has different applications. Same basic idea. When you are are home, and you have the "home profile" active it will not pull your work emails. If you are at work it pulls everything but lowers the volume not to disturb people around you.
and i do not have "recovery" on mine so i do not know what it does.
google doesn't even know the answer to your question, therefore, it must not have an answer.

Well, what I'd like to know is not what "HTC profile" does. The main question here is really about Titanium Backup: what exactly does that mean when Titanium Backup shows in its list an application that is crossed-out?
Normally, Titanium Backup shows a crossed-out application when you uninstall something. An uninstalled app is shown crossed-out until you refresh the list. After refresh it disappears. Sometimes, an uninstalled application might remain in the list if you previously backed it up. So, a persistent crossed-out entry normally means "it is uninstalled, but you still have a backup for it".
In my case I see `com.android.htcprofile` and `recovery` crossed-out in the list, but I have no backup for these applications. So, the question is why Titanium Backup keeps showing them in the list? What is Titanium Backup trying to tell me by keeping these crossed-out entries in its list?
Same here. DAMN, and I just did a system wipe, thinking I unistalled something by mistaki
I ended up at this thread when I Googled after encountering the same thing. I came across it because I was trying to free up some space. It is associated with a 4 MB+ text file which Titanium can't delete. I think the text file is the reason it's showing up.
Just saw this and figured I'd post

Is it enough to just 'freeze' htc iq & logger?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Yea, I found this last night. I was the one who originally posted it here. The article on Android Police stated that the best option was immediate removal of the HTClogger apk. I did that, and got repeated force closes over and over, literally to the point of not being able to do anything on my phone. I had to pull the battery and restore to a Nadroid I made earlier, so just removing the apk isn't gonna work. I think it has to be built out of the OS, because the system keeps looking for it. I don't know how freezing is going to work either, but I think it would have the same results. I'm waiting on word from someone who knows better than me, and hopefully the dev who built my ROM can do something to get it out.
Not sure about being able to just wipe or freeze those services, but there are a variety of rom's that have them removed, or just go with an AOSP rom and problem solved.
don't forget to wipe..

Yea, I should have thought to just reboot....what an idiot lol....I've since uninstalled IQRD, HTClogger.apk, and HTC IQAgent, and restarted and all is well. I feel much safer and less spied on now lol.
