Personally paid for Niagara launcher as I find that to be the far superior launcher to any other I’ve tried. My second one is Symfonium, the most feature rich and well developed audio player.

What are yours?

      Titanium has been abandoned for years. Swift backup is what I switched to, or DataBackup on GitHub if you want a free option.

      Titanium Backup hasn’t been updated in five years, and I think that update was just to meet requirements to stay on the store. Their last changelog entry is adding the menu icon after Android ditched the physical menu button. There are a bunch of settings that are broken or do nothing due to changes to Android over the decades (TB has been around for so long that it supports Android 1.5).

      I’ve been using Swift Backup as a replacement these past few years. It’s closed source but was recommended to me, and I haven’t run into any problems yet. Is Neo better in some way, aside from being FOSS?

        I’ve heard of Swift Backup but never tried it because I think it was paid or automatic backups were a paid feature or something. But for my simple needs Neo Backup has been perfect.

          Yeah, it’s twelve bucks to unlock scheduled backups and cloud syncing in Swift Backup, but then again this post is about paid apps. :)

            Which is perfectly fair. I just tend to be stingy about paying for apps when there’s a free one that does what I need.

            Nothing wrong with paying for something that’s worth it, though.

      Latest version I know is 8.4.0.2 from 2020-05-16 downloaded from here http://www.matrixrewriter.com/android/files/TitaniumBackup_latest.apk.

      I use Titanium since Android 4 and had indeed some troubles (related to storage access rights) on Android 11. After solving those, Titanium ran fine like on older versions of Android. Did not yet try Titanium on newer versions than Android 11.

      Thank you for the hint and link to Neo Backup, I will give it a try. (Ah, just saw it is an incarnation of OAndBackup, nice.)

          This weekend my first scheduled backups were due during the night, and unfortunately I found my phone in recovery next morning. It was now in kind of “boot loop”, resetting shortly after logging into the phone.

          Could stop this by quickly killing NeoBackup processes after login. Neo tried to again run the scheduled task each time, most likely as they before failed/did not run through.

          So in summary it looks like my Lineage 18 device has issues with the scheduled backups of Neo.

          Strange thing is that all my manual tests, even the same as configured for the scheduled tasks, worked perfectly fine. Just today’s first fully automatic runs seemed to make trouble (maybe cause mobile phone was in standby?)

          Can only guess, but will keep Titanium for now on the older devices, and will keep Neo in mind for newer versions of Android, on which Titanium will not work any more :)

            Sorry to hear about that. I’ve been using Neo for a while and never had issues like that. Might be because your Android version is a bit older maybe. Hopefully it works on your future devices then.

            Also maybe report the bug to the developer in whichever way they use for this project.
