I need a log and description of your problem.

I just did a a restore from Titanium Backup and the phone was not running right until I used this app and it's been fine since.

I have Titanium Backup and the Titanium Fix tool both installed, I have been using the command manually... But haven't tried the Titanium Fix yet because there are people with my phone complaining...
So, it should work or not on the T-Mobile N900T?

Thank you...

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.

Just hangs for me, Fix Me button highlighted blue;


Application: TB Restore Fixer
Device: hlteatt

I: su binary found
I: Loaded asset list
I: restorecon binary copied
I: Fix me button clicked

Edit: Rebooting and hitting the fix me button immediately after got me a success. However, I am still getting FC's, but they may be related to apps not being up to date... stay tuned.

I cannot reproduce this at all. Sometimes, TB Restore Fixer will freeze when SELinux is throwing a fit, but closing the app and restarting it fixes it for me.

Did you try rebooting and running it after reboot? Not sure why the T-Mobile version is having issues. I'll look into it and see if I can rework the code.

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.

Thank you - so that is for ANY APP that has been backedup>?

SO can you tell me the best way to run this? Am I correct in thinking that I run the back up first using TB and then after I have backed up aps - I should run the fixer. Correct?

Correct, any time you restore anything from Titanium, run this app immediately afterward. If it freezes, reboot the phone, run the app.

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.

The "Fix Me" button is still blue.

I restored 79 apps with data so I assume it simply takes a long time.
Got two pop ups (so far) asking to close the app as it is not responding, I simply clicked wait.

Will wait and see :D

Reboot and try it again right when the system boots up.
