Titanium Backup Pro - No Convert to User app? - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I recently updated my phone to 4.2.2 and I finally legally bought Titanium Backup Pro so i can be updated from time to time.
But for my unpleasant suprise, i can not find "convert to user app" option in Titanium Backup Pro 6.0.5.1. I looked everywhere, and I cant convert Facebook, Maps and other apps..
Any help?
Thank you

I have the same problem, can't find "convert to user app" anylonger in titanium backup... What do you mean with "long-press menu"? If you mean to press on an app then swipe to the right and then down: nope, its not there anymore...

this happened to me too.. after upgrading to 4.2.2, "convert to user app" menu is gone.. my TB version is 6.0.4

Same problem with Xperia Z and 4.2.2: no way to convert system app into user app.
Support contacted and still waiting for answer.

I contacted Titanium support for second time..

Still no luck here.. I already updated to the latest version..

As I see it, some apps can be converted to user app, such as the Camera. Whereas some apps like "Album" cannot.
That's how it is for me.

So there is definitely an issue...
You are lucky, since SOME apps still can be converted... I can't convert any: see pic of "camera" ("convert to user app" should be second from the bottom but doesn't exist/show up anylonger).
I also wrote the developer... Lets see!

I have just had a look and option is there for me to convert a lot/all of them from system apps e.g album, movies camera to user
Long hold on selected app and scroll down to second one up in options

For very few(!) the converting option returned as I looked 10 min ago...but now even for those the option disappeared again...very weird!

Convert to User
I am new to this but found it in TBU Pro 6.3.1 under [Special Features] Create "update.zip" This creates a CWM flashable zip file as a user app.
Hope this helps someone.

Hey, any news about this? I have the same problem, cant find the option to convert any app to user app

Then complain to the developer of TiBU.
The support email is listed on the Play store listing.
You will surely get more help than asking people here that are nothing to do with developing the app.

I have just updated to latest release 6.1.4, there is option to convert to system so but not user app.
I never really used that option I only used convert to system app.
Was it present in version 6.0.4

ASUS Keyboard 3.0.0.0

There is an ASUS keyboard in 4.1.2 but it is hidden. In order to show it:
REQUIRES ROOT AND TITANIUM BACKUP
1.Launch Titanium Backup
2.Go to Backup/Restore Tab
3. Unfreeze Asus Keyboard 3.0.0.0
4. Go to Language and Input and check ASUS Keyboard
5. Change input method to ASUS Keyboard
6. Enjoy!
EDIT: I am using 4.1.2 rooted stock rom.
Which ROM are you running? I don't see this at all on Bugless Beast 4.1.2.
Hmmm... I defrosted it in TB, but it's still not showing up in the language & input section.

I was wondering about this. I saw it in titanium after updating to 4.1.2
Never even thought about unfreezing to try. Nice xD

Thanks to the OP. I saw the Asus 3.0 keyboard awhile ago, but don't know to activate it. Now I can see it now and it's much better than stock with extra # row.

It didn't show up for me also after defrost. But this is it what I do after that, I make a TB backup and un-freeze Chrome then it show up.
Looks like a terrible keyboard anyway.. I'd smash my Nexus 7 by the 5000th time I pressed zero to backspace, or backspaced by accident while hitting enter.. Terrible design.
The keyboard did not show up for me. And Titanium Backup says the app is frozen again after a reboot.
Thanks. Using it now. MUCH better than stock. Its the same keyboard that is on my Asus TF300 and it makes switching between the two tablets easier to have everything in the same place.

I got the same thing too (didn't show up in Input Settings), but after some weird combination of doing things, it magically showed up.
Here's what I *think* triggered it:
-Unfreeze as per OP's instructions
-Open up an app that has an editable text field (I used Dolphin Browser)
-Click on the text field
-Swipe down on the Notification Bar and tap Choose Input Method
It was at this point that my N7 stuttered for a bit. Took a while for the keyboard switcher to display (the ASUS Keyboard wasn't a choice), but when I went back to Language & Input Settings, it was there and I didn't have to reboot.
Your millage may vary, but I'm using it now.

Just curious, are you guys using the free version of Titanium Backup or the Donate version?
Because with the free version I tried to re-freeze the app so I could try unfreezing again and it told me, "Sorry, apps can only be frozen/defrosted in the Donate version." It gave me no such message when I unfroze it, though.

1. Why uninstall? Never uninstall system apps if not sure it will work. There are apps that can freeze apps, then simply unfreeze if needed. Titanium backup can do this and much more like backup.
2. Don't know, never used launcher pro, xperia launcher are the best Imo
3. Choose yes to use wifi, and use an app to set it to use in eg Europe, Japan or wherever....search in xda for like gps faster fix.
As for 1 there's also a list on the web stating which system apps can be deleted or not. You risk fc and apps mot working properly as they depend on another, easy freezy are also an app to use for freezing apps
Easiest for you would be to install a custom rom, you need clockwork mod recovery and root then. Pm me if you need a guide
Thanks for the sugestion now i have reinstalled messaging app and disable it using root app delete
Now want one more thing to ask
Can i freeze the system app like
Lg home(i am using launcher pro)
Browser (using dolphin)
Hidden menu-use it very rarely
Rsstarter- don't know what is this for !!
Plz reply
Thanks once again

I'd advice you to keep from freezing / uninstalling apps if you don't know what they're for. It's not like you will get a huge performance improvement if you delete these, so I'd let them be.
You can freeze the LG launcher (or uninstall it if you want) as long as you have another launcher installed. This is required, otherwise you're in for disaster.
Thanks for a very quick reply
Just wanted to say after freezing some of the apps that i donf use i got a very good ram space and i feel that my device is now working much faster
Now what about freezing browser and lge hidden menu
And yeah what is rsstarter ??

It's for the Remote Screen service. If you don't use it, you don't need rsstarter. I removed it with no evident side effects.
BTW, thanks to SuperSkill I learned something new -- I didn't understand before what exactly "freezing" meant...
Thanks freezed it successfully..!

Playstore not working

Hi! all. My playstore is not working. When i launch playstore, it doesn't load anything just the dark grey background with the message "No Connection RETRY". When i click retry, the screen just flash white quickly & return to the same screen. I tried to randomly search for an app but nothing comes out. I noticed that the option "My Apps" is also missing. Any idea how to fix this?

Make sure when you launch it you have fully working data connection or wifi.
If it doesn't work, settings> apps >all> Google play store and clear cache and data. And try again.

Uninstall the the play store updates? Or try finding a play store apk and go from there? If not
Then do a full wipe and repair with Sony update service. So odd that only this app is having issues.

Download it from PlayStation website, i did that, and install it by transfering APK file to your phone, than run it.
Of course, before that delete existing app.

A new play store apk was uploaded some where in one of the xda forums two weeks ago. Head over there and see if you can get that one installed. May fix the problem.

Did you disable background data for it? It might complain if that is turned off.

Sony Album app showing thumbnails also?

Hi all, I noticed that since the last update, the Sony Album app is showing thumbnails as photos.
The thumbnails are very small files and thus very bad quality.
I already deleted the thumbnails several times via root browser but they keep showing up.
Also wipe app data or complete fresh install doesn't solve this.
Does anyone know how to solve this?
Thanks in advance!

Stock Phone App - Display only contacts with Numbers - Possible to run the old app?

Hello all,
Back in KitKat (I think), google's default app for phone/contacts had the option to only display contacts with numbers. (great idea!)
For reasons beyond anything I can imagine, they stupidly removed this feature. (Horribly stupid idea...sigh)
Is it possible to run the older phone app/contacts app on newer roms? 7.0?
I like the stock app. Fantastic app, excepting for the horrible stupid decision to break needed functionality by Google.
Thoughts? Options? Ideas?
Thanks!
Just a thought you could find the apk from KitKat and then install that. If it works. Use something like titanium backup and long press on the app from within TB and select remove market link. This should prevent the app from auto updating. Haven't tried it but i agree. The contact with phone numbers only was great.
