This is just some information from an experience I just had while trying to convert a system app to user app with Titanium Backup Pro. I wanted to convert Google + from a system app to a user app as a test as well as to possibly move the application to the extSD card . When I tapped the prompt to convert to user app TB seemed to get stuck " Processing " . I waited for about ten minutes while I Googled information on why it was taking so long and couldn't find anything pertaining to this situation. After another ten minutes of debating on weather to take my chances and back out of TB I decided to give it try . Unfortunately it wouldn't let me back out or cancel the action . I took a chance and force closed TB and rebooted the system. I then checked my devices application manager and TB and Google + was uninstalled (gone) from the system altogether . I went into the Market and installed the G+ app from the Play Store and it is now showing up as a user app with the option to uninstall but still no way to move it to the extSD card . The app works fine and the only side effect I have noticed from force closing TB while it was " Processing " is that I had to re-grant Super User permission upon opening Titatanium Backup again . After all of this trouble I basically accomplished nothing but giving myself a headache, haha. Hopefully this saves someone else a headache in the future. My next test is going to be to uninstall the G+ app from my device then try to restore it as a system app with my original Titanium Backup through the restore feature. Ill post the results as a comment here to let you guys know what happens.
