Titanium Backup? - Motorola Droid Bionic

I've seen several people with this problem but no solution yet. I was able to restore all of my apps but only some were successful restoring data. The main ones I can't restore the data on but need to are Dolphin HD, Rhapsody and K9 mail. All my widgets and several games restored data just fine, anyone know what I can do.

There is a problems button on the bottom of TB that suggests changing the way it restores the apps. I found that it fixed the issue for some of the apps, but there is one I have still that won't restore.
I was thinking about trying to download the app off the market and then just restore the data but haven't tried yet.
Another thought is that one might be corrupted...

I tried downloading them from the market and then restoring data and that didn't work, the backups restore fine on my other bolt and I even made new backups that will not work either.

Last night I dropped a themed genie.apk (news and weather) into a Liberty zip and flashed it and was able to restore the data afterwards. I'll try to get a hold on the apk's of other apps I'm having problems with and do the same to see if this works with all apps.

Clearing the cache should have the same effect on the backup/restore process of an app as reinstalling the APK

Re-installing the apps doesn't help, I still can't restore data. The way I did it installed it with the Rom I CWM and I think that was why it worked. Do you mean clearing all cashe or just for the app I'm trying to restore?

Just the app first. If that doesnt work, try clearing all cache. Maybe even Davlik cache (This will make the initial startup longer because it has to rebuild davlik cache)

This happened to me when I came over from a long line of HTC phones. Never got it straightened out and had to reset a lot of things by hand.

Irritating Market issue

I received my phone back a few days ago and I instantly flashed Cyan 5.0.6 test 3.
However I have a really annoying issue where my Market isn't quite 'correct'.
It seems to be missing the 'top paid' tab.
It also takes an age to load the info for any app I click on and the status stays at 'installing' even though it is installed and it will only refresh when I reboot.
I have tried to restore the backed up propriety apps, nandroid backup and restore, flashed a stock rom, flashed cyan 5.0.1
But NOTHING works.
I know the slow market is related to the missing tab, it's like half of the market app hasn't loaded properly.
I had this issue before my phone went off for repair and one day it fixed (I don't know how) but as soon as it did, it performed as it should and it took seconds to load app data and install, it also stated the app was installed.
I suppose what I'm looking for is HOW can I completely reload the Market from scratch?
Thanks guys.

Wow that is so weird... I assume you do wipe/cache/dalvik before flashing a ROM right? Have you tried cyan 5.0.6 yet? If not, give it a try, do the wipe before flash of course, and hope that works... Also, do you have a backup app? like titanium back up or back up pro? Did you set it to auto restore perhaps? Probably just a bad market back up? Thats all I can think about... If it doesnt work, then its beyond me brother

Hi Man,
I know it's really bugging me.
I've tried everything including wiping the Dalvik and normal cache.
I think I might try Enomer's ROM to see if that solves it but I can only tether at the moment as we've moved house and I won't have BB back for 2 weeks.
I have Titanium pro installed as I have over 400 apps on my phone!
Hey bro,
Apparently there have been a few reports about the same issue with the market, probably has something to do with the market update. Anyway, try uninstalling the market via titanium if you can that is. And reinstall. Nandroid before doing it.

[Q] Cannot See Free apps in Market!!

Good sirs,
Recently, like since last week, I cannot see any of my installed apps in the Android Market, under "My apps". Consequently i also cannot see any updates to those apps.
The ONLY thing, I see there are the apps I have purchased, and any apps I newly install...
I have a captivate running cognition 2.1.6.
anyone else having this issue?
HELP!!!
Have you tried clearing the data?
Menu button->Settings->Applications->Manage Applications->Third Party Tab then scroll down and choose Market then click Clear Data.
Try the above first, if that doesnt work, go to the market and download Eris Market Fix. This app worked for me on my captivate before.
im running 2.1. dont see a third party tab.
but i did clear the cache. did not help.
then tried uninstalling the updates to market. it said uninstall failed.
Now my market is completley gone!!
I'd suggest three other things then...
First would be to restore from a backup... you did backup your apps when you flashed right?
Second would be to use or get SGS Tools and try the Market Fix option there. Find it here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=936727
Third would be to search vending.apk That's the market apk, then download it and sideload it.

I reinstalled a whole new ROM...
BTW, I heard that using the new market web interface will break the market on devices with custom ROMs. is this true??!
I haven't heard of anything lime that. When I was on 2.1, I had a blackmarket app that allowed.me to upgrade my market interface. I have never had a problem with not being able to see free appear tho. I suggest backing up anything you have that's important and after attempting any fixes that others will and have spelled out, try a ODIN3 restore. I don't have any links but it will fully restore your phone to stock. Some of your data should still be there but it will do a full wipe and restore. Other than that, don't listen to me. I only have 3 posts.......

[Q] Fc's on most of the GB roms

I've tried Apex, Mosaic, dlev and Continuum roms... With all but continuum, I get force close's after restoring apps/data in Tibu.
Example, I wipe data cache, dalvic and then flash one of the roms. Once it's booted up, I go into Titanium, do a batch restore of apps, and once it finishes, I go to start Angry Birds and it fc's. It can be any of the apps, its not just directed at Angry Birds. (it even happens with stock apps, like Memo or messaging)
So, last night I flashed back to Continuum and not one fc... but, I'm missing some of the goodies from the other roms. EDT tweaks for one!!!
Anyway, I guess my question is what's the diff between Continuum and the other roms, as far as this specific problem?
Thanks
seems like an issue with data restore in tibu...idk why it worked for continuum but...try and delete all the backups and run a fresh batch backup now that they are running. then flash another rom and see if that still happens.

Damn! Didn't work... but, I perhaps made a mistake by wiping data/factory reset along with the cache's....
I just don't understand, because really, it's not rocket science and yet I don't see other people with the issue!
Check for tibu updates, and go into preferences and force tibu to use system busybox instead of its own (option is at bottom of pref menu). I would also check for updates to superuser.

Giving this a shot as well, thanks!
I had a similar problem as well. I tried the Dlev and Obsession ROMs but got FC's on some apps on both using the same method as you described. I tried one more time with Obsession but also installed the Symply GSII theme before restoring apps and everything worked fine. I'm not sure why that would have made a difference but my phone has been working great for a couple weeks now.
Well, I'm not sure what worked and what didn't... I tried the busybox change but still had fc's when I installed dlev's rom. So, I tried Apex again, and so far, no fc's. I just don't get it...
Thanks for everyone's input!

User apps + data = FC??

After flashing some new roms lately, I've been unable to restore my user apps with data, or else the apps will force close (weirdly, some apps work okay with a data restore, but the vast majority will fc). Also, when trying to restore back to my old rom (AOKP) via Nandroid, I get an error saying cannot mount /data, stopping the process. I tried deleting all my backups, making new ones, flashing stock, and yes I follow the OP exactly. I wanted to see if anyone has ever had this issue either on this ROM or another one. Any help appreciated, thanks.
To restore a Nandroid, you actually have to flash the rom first, then after it fully boots up restore your Nandroid. As for Apps and data, try restoring the apps first, rebooting, then restoring the data.
Referring to your app restore suggestion. That doesn't work. I've tried it

Then i don't what else to suggest. You tried downloading apps fresh, then restoring your backed up data?
Common issue for me. Just wipe data first and it should work. No need to flash the ROM

Use TiBu instead of Nandroid. Only had issue with porting my WiFi settings from GB to ICS.
But in general restoring apps with settings and data is a pain. That prevents me from becoming flash junkie.
I understand your concern with using nandroid. That was just a side statement. The issue is restoring USER apps with data. Why is this occurring now when it has never occurred before

I just want to add that this exact same thing has happened to me on a variety of ICS ROMS (including AOKP M5) and I too follow the installation instructions including wiping and formatting.
Very annoying.

Sorry, sorry. I was specifically referring to the nandroid backup issue. IF while restoring, you can't get past "Cannot mount /data!", THEN wipe data, and continue restoring data by doing advanced restore from there (so you don't have to restore /boot and /system again...)

Ah okay. Thanks for the tip.
So no one has any idea what's the cause of this. Everyone who has come across this issue, including myself, seem to have no clue how to fix it. There's basically an exact same q&a thread on vibrant forums with the same issue and there's like 5 people there who cannot figure out why

What happens if you dl from market without restoring data? Still get fc's?
without restoring data? No FC. After restoring data, FC.
Hey Mikel I just flashed Docs Master v11 which just came out. For the first time in a long time I did not have the app f/c problem at all. Everything ran fine right from TIBU restore.
I flashed this ROM exactly the same way as I've flashed the last few AOKP roms. Hmmmm..

Calendar app uninstalls itself

My calendar app was somehow deleted and I'm having trouble restoring it. I have it backed up with titanium and I've tried several times to restore it. It works for awhile but then it force closes on me and when I try to reboot it uninstalls itself. I've tried to make it an "update.zip" and that doesn't work. I've "s-off'd" the phone book cause I read that if it isn't in s-off mode installing system apps would be difficult. So I'm at a loss right now...I'd rather not reflash everything so if there's a way to restore the stock HTC calendar without flashing could someone please let me know? Thanks in advance.

I know you said you don't want to reflash anything, but you could try to reflash the ROM without erasing data first. This would fix any missing files from /system and still keep your data and apps intact. If that works, great. If not, then you could try other drastic measures like erasing data, etc.
