Titanium Backup Issues

---

Picked up a Vibrant a few days ago, but Im having some issue restoring my apps using Titanium backup 3.3.2.

I having an issue where Titanium Backup says its restoring, but just sits there doing nothing. Somehow Ive managed to get it to restore once, but I had to wipe and now I cant get it to restore for the life of me. Tried w/ original busybox and the one that downloads inside titanium, both w/o success. Seems that titanium has some sort of issue w/ the Galaxy S.

Has anyone found a solution that allows you to restore your apps? Thanks!

EDIT: Whats really strange is if I try to hide titanium, relaunch it, and try and backup. It gives the message "backup already in progress" but for whatever reason it moves onto the next app...so strange

EDIT2: FIXED IT thanks to Joel, the awesome dev behinf titanium. Go into options and change the install method to "AUTO, Indirect" and it should work. Hope this helps others!

AWESOME!!! Thanks!

I also think Joel has one of the best apps for android. Great support and Dev.

I need a little kind help runing this.
When I press any of the batch RUNs I just go back to the previous screen.
I have the latest version, busybox install, rooted.
I can backup individual files, but nothing from the BATCH screen works.

open TB and before doing anything click the menu key.

Now click Preferences, App Installer Mode and change that to Auto INDIRECT, by default it will use Auto, Direct.

Now try to run a batch restore

Still nothing, when I press RUN I just go back to the Backup/Restore screen.
Should I then be looking for a GO or LAUNCH button?

This same thing happens on my G1, so it must be an evident stupid mistake I'm making, but I can't figure out what.

If your on the Vibrant now. you would once you open TB, push the soft key all the way to the left and a menu will come up.

Go into preferences from here.

Ah. had a bad install of Ti Backup.
Reinstalled and works as ordered now.
thanks.

Yes, I've gone to Preferences and made the change your suggested. This is not my problem.
I can not run any batch commands. I can not backup/restore/verify or any of the other choices.
When I press any of the RUN options, I drop back to the Backup/Restore screen and nothing happens.

ah sorry I misunderstood.

Couple questions.

Does the backup/restore batch commands your running show a number to the right indicating how many apps are being restored/backed up?

TB should request Super User permissions when it first launches, but to make sure open Super User and make sure you see TB in the list of allowed applications.

Thanks for your help. Everything works fine now.
See my previous edited post.
Don't recall ever having to reinstall a faulty app before. Still it is something I should have checked earlier.

Since the OPs problem has been sorted, I hope its Ok that I post a problem.

I wanted to do a factory reset to see if it would improve some performance issues.

- DLed Ti
- menu > batch > run "backup all user apps and sys data" > select all > run (all items under backup/restore tab had check, smilie, or smilie with M)
- factory reset
- installed Ti
- menu > batch > run "restore all apps and data" > select all > run
- clicked "install" for each downloaded app (is this normal or should it be automatic?) data was reinstalled automatically
- rebooted

All downloaded apps were restored and settings were restored.

market dl history was not restored, system user data was not restored (browser bookmarks, text, call log etc)

- opened Ti
- menu > batch > run "restore missing apps and all sys data" > select all > run
- reboot

market links are now restored but still no texts, call log, browser bookmarks, wifi keys, bluetooth pairings etc.

I'm great full that Ti made restoring apps so much easier but I know it can restore all sys user data as well. What did miss or do wrong?
