I require an app which allows me to back up my applications and unfortunately Titanium backup seems to not be working on my Nexus 6p..... Can anyone recommend a reliable alternative?

I Installed a custom rom.... Pure nexus by @BeansTown106. The root checker app from the play store confirms I have root installed correctly and I have had no issue with installing applications such as adaway.

I'm running the same ROM and no problems with Titanium for me. Try uninstalling and reinstalling it.

only thing that has suggested an issue is this https://www.dropbox.com/s/yzr67cb1qa91u8m/Screenshot_20151226-234809.png?dl=0
When I back up apps, when I go to copy them on my laptop they aren't there or are in an unrecognised file type. Used to work fine on lolipop.

That warning is normal, it usually goes away after a reboot.

I'm not sure, it always shows up for me. You could try copying the contents of the Titanium folder to another folder using a file manager on your phone, and then copying it to your PC.
I have the same issue. The titanium backup folder shoes up as 0 yet file in map mode. However, if you boot into TWRP and connect to to PC, the folder shows as a folder and can be copied. Not sure why this is but would love a solution.

Back them up with titanium backup (free version is fine) first then you can batch reinstall with it after.
You could write a batch script with a loop to install all the apks in a folder via adb.

That's a good idea and doable with one line
from windows command line
for %a in (c:\path\to\files\*.apk) do adb install %a
or in batch file (2 % signs)
for %%a in (c:\path\to\files\*.apk) do adb install %%a
Question relating to this type of thing...
I backed everything up with Astro prior to flashing Cyanogen's ROM...after doing so and reinstalling, all apps work, however only apps that I've installed from the market since that time show updates available...the others never notify me, I only find out if I use a program like atrackdog to track the version #'s. Is this a known issue, and is there a fix?

Try backing them up with titanium backup (free edition is fine) and then restoring them, i think that will rewrite your packages file. At least, everything i've restored via titanium updates.

I think they will, but if not, try the titanium backup method i mentioned.
Use Titanium Backup (It will save all app data and restore that as well) Also Donate version has batch install without prompts to install each app
Titanium Backup Donate. Seriously worth the money man
Any other method of installation than Titanium Backup will cause apps not to show in Market, and you will not be notified of updates. So, use Ti Backup. ;-)

Just downloaded. It looks like auto-install is only for the $4 version?

It's worth the money, but you can batch reinstall without the pay version, you just have to click "ok/done" for each one, but it's quick and easy.

But how do I batch-install apps that I did not backup using TiBackup before? e.g. I downloaded a couple of apk files somewhere and want to batch install them, how do I do that?
You can also use AppBrain for batch reinstalling.
Actually, my Nexus One reinstalls all the apps from the market after I wipe.

Use Amon_RA recovery and do "Fix UID mismatches" or whatever it's called. It will match your apps to the Market.

Yes. Root/custom ROM. The auto-install is for 100% stock I believe.
Am talking more about apps that I didn't have before on my device before wiping/upgrade. Or lets just start with a fresh device where I have absolutely nothing installed: apps or custom settings:
I have a bunch of apk files which I downloaded before via my PC
I haven't even set up my Market/Google account yet on my device
I want to conserve my bandwidth (3G or Wifi, it doesn't matter) and rather want to batch-install the whole bunch of my 100+ apk apps
how do I do that? what app do I use? from the Market?

I have set up a category on AppBrain personally.. My must-install apps... So when I install a new ROM (when I get around to doing so) I should hopefully be able to easily pick and choose which are installed and none of the misc stuff I like but don't need for day to day use, or to make testing the new ROM faster etc.
I recently switched my sm900w8 to the xnote rom and executed the TB app and data zip file, all my apps are on my phone but their data seems not to be added. I switched to this rom before and it did this weird thing where all apps were quitting and then suddenly its fine, but this time I do it, there is no app data. I just ran the app that runs a script to fix the TB restore problem but its still not working. What can I do?

I tried that and it did not work. I wiped my device again and flashed the update.zip file again and the same thing happened, apps slowly started to be added to the phone and no data was added.

I am sure that i used the backup user apps and system data. I have no clue why it's not working l and some of the apps that were backed up did not get installed on the phone. I suspect that it never used the backup. Maybe there was nothing in the update.zip.

Try transferring your backup.zip tu pc or use es file manager and lets check if it has your apps with the data or not.

I have been doing some research in what the update.zip file is and what I think it is is a file for installing titanium backup on a phone, not for getting your data back. This means that I have lost all of my data.

I have been rooted for a while, and have always had a custom ROM but I wanna try going stock using xposed. How would I flash the stock image? Do I just treat it exactly like a new ROM? Or do I have to do something special or different? I normally use Titanium, but I will make both a titanium backup and a nandroid backup if I do this. Thank you for any help.

When you switch ROMs, what's the easiest way to restore everything else? Android will restore apps (and their data?) but how do you restore all your shortcuts, folders and such?
There are so many cool ROMs on here to try but it takes me hours to restore everything, I usually just try one and end up keeping it.
Titanium Backup Pro, take a full system backup, after flashing a new ROM just restore the install missing apk option only, and other than text messages and call logs, everything will be restored.

I used to backup apps using ES and also install them back and finally after installing all apps, I used to recover my Nova backup, which would setup my homescreen, icons, widgets and shortcuts...
I'd recommend not to backup and restore app data for all apps as I see few people reporting issues with it

So, you DO NOT recommended using an automated system to restore apps and data?
What do you do instead? Do you just re-install all of them manually? That's so time consuming, it takes me almost a whole day!
