titanium backup pro sd problem

[Glock30SF]

I have a Samsung galaxy s2 that I titanium backup pro. I moved my apps to the external sd card I had in the phone. I then put the sd card in my new rooted Samsung galaxy s3 which also has titanium backup pro installed. I can't see or figure out how to put apps on s3. Anyone know how? Thanks

Greetings Glock,

Welecome to the forums

This is a simple fix.

Titanium is defaulted to read the SD card In this case it's the S3's internal memory SD

What you have to do is.

1. Go into Titanium
2. Press to menu key to pull up options.
3. Select preferences
4. Scroll down to backup settings.
5. Select backup folder location option
6. Press the Detect! button.
7. Select the scan whole device option
8. The app will scan your phone, and maybe see 2 backup places Choose the option under /mnt/extSdCard.

9. Select the Use the current folder option

10. ???

11. Profit.

Hope this helps

Thanks for the reply. I tried that and out didn't work. The apps from my s2 that I moved to the sd card are not showing up anywhere to restore. Also on my s2 when I removed sd card the apps on the phone show a ghost icon and say sd and if I click on icon out says something like moved or no app. So I think the apps did greet moved to the sd card but still can't get them to s3. Any other ideas? Thanks

are they both running the same OS, because sometimes Apps cant just be poofed onto a different version.
but also removing the sd you may have corrupted the apps.

Something just dawned on me.

When you say moved to the SD card, did you use a move app to SD function?

or

Did you backup the apps in titanium, and then try to move the titanium folder?

If you did the first thing, then unfortunately there won't be a restore option.

The "Move App to SD" function does not backup the app, and it does not actually move the entire app to the SD card. That function allowed a certain percentage of a app, (varies from app to app), to be moved to the SD card to free up room.

Unfortunately like I said, it doesn't move the whole thing, part of the app remains on your phone.

If this is what you did, and you still have your S2, you can try putting the SD card back into the S2 and try returning the apps from your SD card back to the phone.

Then use Titanium to actually backup the app, and then try the steps that I initially posted.

Hope this helps.

Does anyone know why titaniumbackup would not use my sd card to do backups? It says the folder is not wrightable.

I found a thread at another forum that seems to discuss the same (or at least similar) issue, along with a really helpful post that lays out a few possible solutions:

Info 2 Titanium Backup with insuffiecient storage space - 1 problem , 3 solutions
To summarize, I have come across three solutions to this problem.

1.
Change the backup-location to /storage...
Open Titanium and go to Settings/Preferences/Backup folder location
Change to: /storage/emulated/legacy/TitaniumBackup

2.
If you had Titanium Backup installed on a previous ROM, doing a non-wipe install could stop the process of Titanium Backup. You might receive a pop-up notification that Titanium Backup has stopped working. Reinstalling the app might lead to an insufficient storage space error
