Fix for Titanium Backup restoring with data

[danieljamie]

This fix solves force close issues with restoring apps with data in Titanium Backup.

This operation recursively fixes all SElinux file markers in /data/data, which are spoiled by titanium during data restore. (Quote from vodkinagdan)

User vodkinagdan found this solution:

Simply execute this from the terminal emulator:

su
restorecon -R -v /data/data

This has to be done after every restore (or batch of restores).

I take no credit for this but it works!

vodkinagdan has sent fix to Titanium Track.

I can also suggest everyone to create sh file with these commands and store somewhere in sdcard. Just in case if we will have to wait for the fix from titanium team for a while.
P.S. Terminal emulator is an app, which you can get from Play Market. It serves to execute shell and busybox commands on android device.

This tool resets SELinux security contexts. Maybe you need to have busybox installed(if it's one of its' binaries/applets?)

It's strange, but seems that you have no restorecon binary in your rom.
Here's mine. Try to put it in /system/bin and then execute restorecon -R -v /data/data
It should be rwxr-xr-x (755)

I have same issue with you when I type the command in the simulator.
I will try to copy the new binary like you, and it work. Thanks!

Used the command yesterday and have since added it to Clipper pinned so it's there if needed again before an update
