This will fix the issues Note 3 users are having with Titanium Backup restores. Since I don't know how long the Titanium Backup team will need to fix their code, this app will be available until that time. TB Restore Fixer runs the restorecon -R -v /data/data command to fix issues after restoring apps from Titanium Backup.

As of Titanium Backup 6.1.3, this issue should be fixed! This is here in case anyone still uses it for whatever reason.

Instructions:
1) Run Titanium Backup restore
2) Start the app, read the first screen, and hit "Fix Me!"

I have made a stub app that YOU CAN include in your ROMs, it takes the user to the listing in the Play Store - please download TBRestoreFixerStub.apk from the bottom of this post.

Thanks buddy.

But can you pls tell us how it fixes the issue ?

1. Running restorecon regularly or when /data/data is modified ?
2. Patching TB ?
3. Modifying certain system properties like switching off SELinux ?

When TB comes up with their fix how easy it is to revert back changes done by your app ? will it suffice to simply uninstall in this app ?

I'm sorry, I should have stated this. I'll add it to the OP later, but it runs the restorecon command, that's pretty much it. It's very simple :)

    Firstly thank you for your effort @-viperboy- and @vodkinagdan :)

    I saw that Titanium Backup has been updated. Since i still don't have root and waiting for Root de la vega, i couldnt check this by myself.
    But do you know if the updated Titanium has got this fix inside it for our Note 3 devices. Or even after new updated Titanium, do we still need this Fixer app to fix problem after backups?

    No, the update hasn't fixed this yet.

    Can you help me understand exactly what this fixes?

    is this to run if I want to back up TB from a previous phone or is it more related to doing back ups for newly installed aps and backups I do now on my Note 3? sorry if this is a dumb question -

    Because the SELinux mode is set to enforcing on this phone, when you restore things, the flags are incorrectly set on these apps. The phone doesn't let them run or causes them to FC. This fixes that by running a command that resets the SELinux flags.

    The worst it can do is not work, why don't you try it?

    If it doesn't work though, I need logs! I cannot do anything without them. It works just fine on my Sprint version.

    Okay... You can go to sleep... It works perfectly with T-Mobile's N900T... Just tested it with VNC Viewer and Jump (both remote desktop apps) I wiped data thru Titanium... Opened VNC Viewer and the app was FC... Used the Titanium Fix and reopened the app and perfect... But blank of course... Then restored data... Used the fix again... Reopened and voila... All my remote desktops back... So there you go... Perfect... Tested.
