I rooted my new galaxy sIII in hopes of using titanium backup to restore the apps off my old htc evo 4g. On the new phone the apps don't show up when I try to batch restore...


Any Idea how to get this to work?

I have the feeling that titanium is searching your phone's internal memory rather than sd card for your backups.

In titanium, press menu the preferences. Scroll down to backup location. Find where you have them stored and they will show

That is correct, a lot of the apps search the 'sd card' but it won't automatically search the external sd card, the user supplied one.

Question's been answered, but I want to mention: be careful when restoring data like contacts and messaging. That's what I did that required a couple of factory resets to fix.

User installed apps restore just fine, as you would think. Even Swype, which surprised me.
