Titanium Backup Problems

I have a strange thing going on with Titanium Backup. Some specific apps cause TB to force close while backing up. They're random apps, such as NBA, Kik, Relay, and VSCO. When backing up all user apps, the first few apps backup fine, but when it gets to one of the apps listed above, it force closes. After attempting to delete all previous backups of those apps, the problem persists. There's an icon next to the app that causes the force close that seems to represent it not fully backing up [?]. This only has started to happen recently and I have no idea why it's happening. Possibly something is corrupt.

My problem is.... I use the "backup all app user" option, and it works but I cannot see the backup for app like Marvel Contest of Champions

Yes, I'm getting the same thing. Every time it happens I hit the report button, fill in "crash" then send. I started clicking on the "Backup / Restore" tab and then selecting "user apps" in the Click to Edit filters. Then go to Menu , Batch actions. From there pick " Backup new user apps & newer versions". Run it and it will run until crashes again. Report then go back into the app and repeat the procedure. Eventually you get the apps that don't crash backed up. Then go back to Batch actions under Menu, scroll down to the bottom and run "Trim backups whose history length is > 1". This will delete the partial corrupted backups that are a result of the crashes. This happening on all my devices on MM and LP.
Hopefully all the bug reports will lead to a solution.

Having the same thing happen here. It only started after I installed AOKP, though. Titanium worked fine on both stock and TruPure ROMs as far as I know. It's making it a real hassle to switch ROMs.

Same here on Oneplus 2 CM13 unofficial and Nexus 7 2013, Nexus 4 both CM13 snapshot.
Issue started from perhaps builds of 1 or 2 weeks before snapshot.
For me the list of apps which cannot backup is:
Call Recorder
Easychat
GMD Gesture Control
Plus Messenger
TouchPal
But it OK if I restore app data use nandroid backup from these apps.

I've had nothing but Titanium Backup issues for the last couple months on various ROM's. I do use my external SD.
But I've now got them resolved by following a few steps on TB's troubleshooting website:
http://www.titaniumtrack.com/kb/titanium-backup-kb/titanium-backup-troubleshooting.html
Specifically, step 31 on that page is what finally fixed all my various issues (so far).
For apps crashing TB, I had to wipe data on those apps, delete the old backups, then back the apps up again AFTER doing step 31 above.
And so far, my four new TB restores after flashing new AOSP ROM builds have been flawless since then.

Update 7.3.0.2 fixed FC issue during backup certain apps for me.
• Fixed FC when changing the backups folder location, if DocumentsProvider denies TB access to the previous location.
• Fixed FC during app backup on some platforms.
• Major translation updates.

Q: Best Backup for Note3 Marshmallow Custom ROMs (backup EVERYTHING)?

After flashing and trying out many Custom ROMs on my Note3, I've been burned several times by having backups that don't work.
For example.
1. Had Lollipop 5.0.1 ROM, backed up everything to Samsung Smart Switch and Samsung Kies. Everything backed up, verified it manually. However, after upgrading to CustomROM MM 6.0.1 I cannot restore anything except contacts. No call log, no SMS, no apps and their settings (this takes most time to manually re-install). So Smart Switch and Kies are useless for me.
2. I also backed up everything in Titanium Pro when doing MM6.0.1 -> MM6.0.1 full wipe install. However, when restoring the backed up apps I had many force closes, many apps didn't work at all, many got their Google Play market issues borked (no amount of manual removal/reinstall helped this) and some could not be restored with my custom settings. So, Titanium Pro is near useless for me.
3. I also backed up to Google's own Marshmallow Backup feature. I got _most_ apps backed up, but not all of their settings and not all restored properly. Again, this is nowhere near 100% success and I had to manually re-install Launcher, it's desktop layout icons/positions, all widgets, all call logs, all SMS messages. Lots of work. This has been the "best so far, but nowhere near good" backup that I've been able to find.
So, is there anything out there on Android 6.x that just works? Always. No questions asked. Restores properly. Has clear reports on how/why/when it fails?
Helium Pro and MyBackup Pro both have tons of recent horrible user reviews. I'm not sure they are any better and rather not risk again all my apps/settings/data, because there's another for-pay software that almost works, sometimes
So, any recommendations?
How do you back all your:
- all contacts
- all call/text logs
- all SMS/MMS messages
- all user installed apps and their settings, all system settings
- all accounts and their passwords
- Launcher & setting and incl. desktop, lock screen, icon positions, app re-naming, etc. (I'm using Nova Prime)
Media files, incl. photos I can and always to backup manually.
Of course, I'm not looking to backup a whole ROM, incl kernel/system/baseband modem. Just the apps/settings and everything else.

Titanium backup can do all the things. Except backing up google password for example because I'm not sure which app is storing it.

Thanks, I already have Titanium Backup *root* and have tried it, but it fails on so many issues still.
Even the google backup is better, IMHO (i.e. more reliable on the average).

Never had TB pro fail over many many years .
That with a Nandroid/ Clockwork mod recovery covers all my needs .
Contacts i backup to sim card and Google.
Dont require text/ calls backup nor SMS messages .

Restored via Clockwork Mod backup restore data .

Can not restore (Titanium) Backup on Mokee

hi,
I've been on cm 13 and backed up all my user apps with Titanium Backup v8, I even created an update.zip of my backups.
Then I clean flashed the latest Mokee 6.0.1 rom. Now I can not restore my apps either on titanium backup or via recovery and update.zip . In titanium backup, restoring gets stuck at 0% and in recovery it gives an error.
Does anyone know what should I do ?

Ok it seems that no one experienced this problem. After hours of searching and trial and error I've found a way to solve this problem.
In Titanium Backup --> preferences --> app processing mode (scroll all the way down to see it) --> change it to Interactive. If you batch restore your apps and data, it will ask you each time to install your apps (which is very annoying!), but it works and won't get stuck on 0% .
If anyone ever found a better way, please mention it.

Try Titanium Backup PRO version. Then you don't have to every time click for install. It will automatically install all the apps. You just have to do 1 click.

It was the PRO version. It seems that titanium has this problem with some android 6+ roms. The above mentioned solution(!) to install each app manually, was mentioned as a workaround for this problem.

Titanium Backup Restore ist not working from Nougat to Oreo Rom

Hi
i´m facing a problem whith Titanium Backup.
I backuped my apps under Nougat LOS14.1 , which i wanted to take with to any Oreo Rom.
after flashing of several Oreo Roms , i didn´t get any App to restore under Oreo.
Titanium Restore still stand 0% and did not anything.
Is this a known Problem, that Apps from Nougat can not restored under Oreo?

Not a known problem that I know of. Well, used to be. When going from Marshmallow to Nougat.
I use TiBu on all Oreo ROMs. Originally anything restored was from Nougat backups.
I take it you're only trying to restore some user apps. No system apps which is a bad idea. Also, not sure if Oreo's change in the naming of items in /data/app/ have any bearing. Maybe not. TiBu would just dump the restored apks there instead of in subdirectories.
If possible, I would suggest installing the apps normally (Play Store, apk, etc.) then restore the data with TiBu. Some apps can be easily reconfigured so it's best to be selective.
Another issue you might come across is device ID. Has Titanium Backup shown a dialog about the backups being from a different device ID? If so, normally you can choose the previous and be good, otherwise data might not restore.
Oreo has changed how it deals with Device ID. TiBu can't make the change. Existing device ID changing tools don't work either.
This one does, on a per app basis...
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/app-device-id-changer-oreo-13-aprv0-9-2-t3777299
If you get everything squared away and data restored onto Oreo, create a different Oreo-only backup destination.

no dialog about different Device ID
i tried only User Apps to restore, no System Apps
the way with only App Data is a good advice , i will give it a try

The auto install mode on titanium. Backup doesn't work on Oreo, U need to change that to Interactive ( Preferences> App processing mode) change from auto to Interactive, But this will ask install permission per app which can be a lengthy process especially if u have large no. Apps to restore but something is better than nothing

I've had no trouble whatsoever restoring apps and their data with TiBu. But I only restored user apps. Could have something to do with your root solution, probably Magisk. Or SELinux interfering. I use SuperSU on Oreo and all root apps work as expected.

I have TB example in latest AEX. Installed new version of google play services, and it was FCing. I tried to restore previous version from TB, and it did it, at least I thought so. TB didn't give any error message. When I looked in settings>apps and the version of GPServices was not the one from TB, but the one that was giving me problems. Eventually I manually installed the proper version of GPServices. I suspect it could be Magisk 16.0, which is what I am using for root. Non system apps get restored correctly.

Titanium Backup Crashes If You Try To Restore

So over the weekend, I chose to root my phone and get the newest 10u update (model h918) and everything seemed to work fine and everything works well.
However, that changed when I transferred my titanium backup files to my v20 from my note 3 and tried to restore a few games. The thing is that I can backup apps, but can't restore them at all. It crashes in response to it. I've checked google play store reviews and others are experiencing this on the model number, so I hope that there can be a fix to this.
Here's what I did:
Dragged and copied all the backup files from my note 3 to my computer
Created a com.kermidas.TitaniumBackup folder into my sd card.
Dragged and copied all the backup files from my computer to v20
Tried to restore from files, crashes every time.
Tested to see if backing up works, indeed it does.
Restarted my phone and tried again, fails.
Uninstalled and reinstalled
Same thing happens again.
If there's something wrong I hope I get to fix it, otherwise oh well, guess I have to get used to it.
Looking forward for a fix, so please give me some suggestions.
Thanks

what did you use to root the lg phone? which su mgr?
did you change the name space manager or whatever titanium backup errors on startup?

I used lafsploit with Magisk 17.1. I did get a "this su may not be compatible with titanium backup, if not, try using SuperSU" obviously we know what happened to that however...

And you have magisk manager 5.9 or 6 installed? Does magisk have the same namespace settings as supersu? Did you try and install titanium backup from googleplaystore? You are trying non-system apps?

Magisk Manager version is 6.0.0, I did install Titanium Backup through play store and I'm only restoring non system apps. My namespace settings are Inherited Namespace, not sure what SuperSU has.

Seems a general issue which started since August security patch update.
Tried on two different devices (oneplus one and Mix 2S), both with Android P with August/September security patch and there is no way to avoid this FCs after the first one, at the best you can make it start on the first launch and restore only data, but if it crashes then for some reason it doesn't matter what you do, it will always crash after this.

I have the May Security Patch, I have the system version 10u so I haven't updated to Oreo as of yet

I have the same problem on another device. I got a rom on which titanium worked before but now after a clean install not. I only changed the gapps pack. so I think and has something to do with different or newer packs.
Edit: fixes it by installing titanium 8.1.0 instead of newest build. But I needed to clean install rom because it kept crashing from the previous install

I did a clean install of 10u when I unlocked my phone, but I found out that I can only restore data only, which I'm all good for, at least if anything it's livable, but still looking for fixes.

I had problems with some apps (usually system apps) but most of what i needed like google playstore apps restored fine. Apps that need accounts was always 50/50. I'm still on 10u too. There is a warning on titanium startup about if you have problems try turning off mount namespace separation. May be worth a try.
Also,
I'm running supersu on my v20.
