I updated my phone and rooted it again today. I had to do a full swipe so I was going through titanium backup and deleting all the bloatware. I accidentally deleted a couple Samsung fonts and would like them back but I did not back them up. How can I get them back?
When I search on root explorer I can see Rosemary.ttf (the font I want) in system/fonts/ but I don't know where to go from there.

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
I used titanium backup to backup the new Swipe before removing it. I went to restore it and there is a checkbox next to the item, instead of the other logo. Basically the restore feature is grayed out for most items I backed up? I went to the directory the backup uses and there is a compressed file for swipe. If I open it, I see some data, but no apk file.
Question 1st is how do I find the apk to restore this?
Question 2 is why can't I restore all backed up files via titanium (paid version)? Scares me to think I was safe using this product.
Use astro and hit the search button. Type swype with no spaces and search. You might find the apk that way.

Well I just discovered something strange with most Apps backed up with titanium. If I click on a file that I backed up (say swipe from last update) and uninstalled via titanium, and I get a message that data was backed up, and but no apk present. Sure enough, if I click on the archived swipe file, I see a data file and folder and no apk. Why would titanium backup some files completely and partially with others?
Also, without doing a nand restore, which I really don't want to start from square one, how can I get the swipe apk from the last OTA? SwiftKey has been unreliable since their past two updates?
Thanks
Pull the APK from a stock rooted ROM's zip file.
TB usually won't backup /system apps because, y'know, they're in the non-writable system partition. Normally, they're still there, and normally, you don't mess with stuff in /system, nor should you copy stuff over from one ROM to another if it's a system app.
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?
I don't need to do back ups I said. I'm not gonna mess around that much I said...
So to spare you the details, I accidentally deleted my Contacts and Contacts storage apks on my phone. Bad times are being had. I was looking into android data recovery programs, but I can't seem to get the programs to recognize my phone. I'm about to just revert to OG stock and start from scratch. Will this get me these apps back? Is there another option? Any advice you guys could give me would be great. Sorry for being such a Newb :-\
Hi,
Yes if you return to stock you will have all your system apps...
What is exactly the name of the apps you deleted?
In case I'm right (I see only three) , see in attachment... Extract the three apk's, with a file explorer and move them to /system/app then set the correct permissions like the other apps here and reboot...
So, ES file explorer has a "great" feature where they will clean up an app's folder after you delete it. So, I flashed a new rom, and then deleted Titanium Backup to install it again (I don't even remember why) but that clean up option came up and I accidentally pressed it. So now all of my apps and app data are gone. Also, on the Play Store it says all the apps I have bought I will have to buy again. Is there anything I can do?
EDIT; Well, at least I have my paid apps able to install now. I also found that there is a recycle bin option, but I'm pretty sure I had to enable that before deleting everything.
