[APP][v1.1][11.13.13]TB Restore Fixer - fix FC/reboots caused by Titanium restores!

[-viperboy-]

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!"

Play Store Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.viper.tbrestorefixerfree

USERS: Please download from the Play Store using the link above, you'll be notified of any updates. If you don't have Play Store access, download TBRestoreFixer-v1.1.apk below.

DEVS: Please do not include the main TB Restore Fixer app in your ROMs! 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. The stub app will be removed when TB Restore Fixer is run for the first time. Please credit me and link to this thread if you include this in your ROM.

v1.1

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

Read the OP... If you are no Dev and dont want to add this App to your Rom, so you are a normal User you have to choose TBRestoreFixer-v1.0

yeah same here for tmo version. now my s note app stops repeatedly and i cant even use the phone.i did the fix and it said successful but no go.

i even froze the app and it still says forceclose. i tried uninstalling the app through tb and says can not find.

update:

so basically i had to search the apk in es explorer and delete the app. that fixed the force close. deffinately not doing that again.
