Re: Titanium Backup

Titanium Backup is a backup utility for Android that backs up your system and user applications along with their data on external storage of your choice. It is a leading Android application that uses root access to pull all your important applications and data from the system partition and stores them for future restoration. Whether your phone is corrupted or flashed with a custom ROM, Titanium Backup can save the hassle to get your phone loaded up just like it was before. Best of all, it is FREE! If you use it regularly, the PRO version will enhance the experience like never before! Get it today and protect your precious data before its too late!
After flashing Pixel Experience and going through the setup I installed Titanium Backup on my phone and rebooted into TWRP to install the update.zip file. It flashed the zip file with no errors and automatically rebooted the phone into system.
However nothing happened and my apps and data were not restored. Then I wanted to restore them manually but trying to access my backup location on my external USB drive I found out I could not access my backup folder anymore, which was located at: /storage/extSdCard/Android/data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup
It is extremely frustrating knowing I have done everything to backup my apps and data but not being able to restore them anyway. If anyone knows a solution to this problem tell me, I would really appreciate your support.
Here is what worked for me. I booted into TWRP recovery. From there I copy pasted my backup files from my usb drive to internal memory. Then and only then I was able to access and restore my backups from Titanium Backup.
On my phone, a OnePlus 3 running Marshmallow, I have Titanium Backup configured to run automatic backups twice a week. When it runs, it gets stuck. The notification displays "Skipping 96% - Wi-Fi access points." This notification sticks around until I force quit Titanium Backup or reboot the phone, and I presume that the backup never completes.
You need to create a filter to exclude the 2 WiFi Access Points.In Titanium Backup, Goto Menu > Filters (under General) > Create Label (At the bottom right) > Add/Remove elements > Select all and then Uncheck the 2 WiFi Access Points at the bottom of list and Save (check mark at top right) Click Load/Save filter to save it as a filterIn scheduled backups, edit and select the Filter name and save
Just had this issue... Opening the shade menu (or the notification drawer, or the pull-down settings page, or some other name...) and disabling WiFi forced Titanium Backup to re-ask about permission to disable/enable WiFi. Granting it seems to of permanently solved the issue.
Or perhaps the idea is you use rsync like a normal person to backup most of your data, and TWRP for the hard-to-reach places left over? Is there a good convenient shell around rsync I should be using? Any walkthroughs of the backup/restore process?
TiBu backs up apk and the data from apps themselves. It does not back up all of the internal storage (/storage/sdcard0). Either you create an image backup with twrp, or you archive (portions of) the internal storage with a file manager
My App List saves the list of all installed apps and then allows to quickly install the apps on the new phone. Supports both F-Droid and Aurora Store/Play Store. The alternative is to carry apks together with backup data.
You can backup, restore, freeze (with Pro) your apps + data + Market links. This includes all protected apps & system apps, plus external data on your SD card. You can do 0-click batch & scheduled backups. Backups will operate without closing any apps (with Pro). You can move any app (or app data) to/from the SD card. You can browse any app's data and even query the Market to see detailed information about the app.
Backup your hardware wallet for the long haul. Transform your seed words into an unyielding force with metal-stamped titanium. These heavy-duty, commercial-grade plates are designed to safeguard your seed words by allowing you to metal stamp each letter into the surface, offering a much safer alternative to traditional paper storage, while eliminating any concerns of loose pieces or inconsistent materials that may falter in extreme conditions.
Titanium Backup has been one of the most popular apps on the market for some time, and with good reason. It can be used to backup all your important app dada, system data, and even WiFi passwords on your handset.
If you discover that a specific app has developed a fault, say after a bugged update, and you want to restore it to a previously saved version, then this can be done by clicking on the backup/restore option on the main page. Here you can pick the specific app or piece of data from the list. Once tapped, a list of backups will appear along with a list of other functions to create backups, etc. Here you can manage your individual app backups, or can restore the app to a specific date by clicking on the corresponding restore button.
Root permission also means that Titanium Backup can be used to uninstalled unwanted apps and bloat ware. A word of caution before doing this with any pre-installed software, uninstalled essential apps can cause force close errors and even render your handset virtually unusable if not done with care, so I thoroughly recommend backing up your apps and system first, preferably with a recovery zip file too.
Titanium Backup features many more options under the configurations menu, including tweaks to the type of compression used to create backups, the maximum number of backups to keep for each app, and whether or not to store market links for apps. In fact, apps can even be disconnected from the marketplace, so automatic updates can be left on for apps but then manually disconnected for certain apps, if you so desire.
Back in the early days of Android, Titanium Backup was considered the go-to backup solution for those with full root access. Its impact on the power user community over the years is undeniable. However, Titanium Backup's days are numbered because the original developer no longer updates the app. This means smartphones and the best Android tablets are out of luck since new device support is nonexistent. You now have other options that are nearly as good. This guide covers how to tap into the power of Shizuku to back up your device.
When using Google One to back up and restore your device, the data for your apps are only partially saved to your online account. It keeps a list of the installed apps and downloads them directly from the Google Play Store. That means you'll need an active internet connection to restore your device in this manner each time. If you frequently perform factory resets, downloading these apps from scratch can be a hassle. Because of this, you may be looking for a reliable and alternative method to restore your apps without going the Google One route.
Swift Backup is the perfect choice for all your backup needs, giving you offline and custom cloud storage options without requiring root access. It relies on the Shizuku service, which uses powerful on-device ADB commands and system APIs to elevate your Android experience. This allows you to have temporary higher-level system privileges without rooting your device, perfect for those who like to tinker with minimal risk. Using Swift Backup after a factory reset can save time, battery, and network data since you don't have to redownload your apps from the Google Play Store.
Swift Backup was tested up to Android 13 and the first Android 14 public beta. During our testing, we didn't experience any issues using Swift Backup and its core features with the Shizuku service. As such, you can back up and restore your apps after a factory reset without worry.
You'll need to use the Shizuku service combined with Swift Backup to get the most out of your experience short of having full root access. Still, you must have root privileges for some Swift Backup features to work correctly. However, the Shizuku service gives you plenty of control over your app backups to make up for that.
You can also learn how to set up Shizuku in greater detail if you need extra help with this part. From wireless debugging to ADB commands on a computer, we cover the methods you can use to enable the Shizuku service.
One of the best things about Swift Backup is that you can batch backup and restore your apps when paired with Shizuku. This means you can select the apps you want, press a button, and it does everything for you from there. In other words, the days of manually tapping one app at a time to back them up are long gone, and you don't have to lift a finger. Once you use the feature on your device, you'll see how convenient backing up and restoring your apps can be.
Before you can back up or restore the apps on your device, you'll need to connect Swift Backup with the Shizuku service to enable the necessary features. To get started, check out the following steps:
If you plan to do a simple backup of your installed apps, you'll be fine using only the APKs option. Gamers may want to check Ext. data and Expansion to save the external resources that most games require you to download.
After your device has gone through a factory reset, you'll want to quickly get things back up and running to avoid unnecessary downtime. The recovery process is simple, so it shouldn't take much of your time.
Swift Backup combined with Shizuku allows you to easily back up and restore your Android apps without root access. There are a few limitations, but many of the core features from Swift Backup are readily available. You can also back up more than your apps, so consider checking out the extra features it offers. For example, keeping an offline backup of your text messages, call logs, and homescreen wallpapers would be beneficial. And if you upgrade to premium, you can set up a custom schedule to automate the entire backup process.
You can also tap into the Shizuku service to freeze unwanted system apps and bloatware to help optimize your device. Use it to clear the icon clutter and stop rogue apps from running in the background, potentially saving a little extra battery life.
