Both files are in the same dir.

And I really meant datadata.yaffs2.img :-)

It should be an image of the

partition mounted under /data/data.

I tried renaming it to data.yaffs2.img but that made things worse. I Suppose the app was trying to load apk's from the image which didn't work for obvious reasons ;-)
[Android Apps and Games] awjones:
Okay - thanks! I'm going to push out an update in a bit (v1.5.2), so can you let me know if it works with the datadat.yaffs2.img file when you get the update?
[Android Apps and Games] starkmapper:
I will!

(in this thread?)
[Android Apps and Games] starkmapper:
no luck...
[Android Apps and Games] chocobohoi:
i have the same issue......
[Android Apps and Games] suicidal.banana:
Works great, exactly what i needed, thanks alot!!

(on htc sensation with stock rom, time to flash a rom :D)

I've just been forced to use it by unexpected data wipe (don't ask).

Restoring apps & apps+data works nice. Unfortunately I wasn't able to restore any sms (no worries, I keep them on my google account, too :) ).

All-in-all: very useful and well implemented but still not perfect. I like your dedication and response time.
[Android Apps and Games] awjones:
Cool! Glad it worked (mostly). The SMS/MMS database format may be different based on what ROM you are coming from / restoring to. That may be why the restore didn't work. When I get some more time, I think I can make this work across the board regardless of what ROM you're using.
[Android Apps and Games] awjones:
V1.5.3

I just updated AppExtractor to v1.5.3 (download on first post). This has a Bluetooth restore option. I was hoping I could get some people to help test. It works on my device (Droid X), but I've learned that doesn't necessarily mean too much. ;)

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] mobidzid:
No change here, not even newer Nightly. All was done using CM7.1 #165.
[Android Apps and Games] chocobohoi:
Still can't restore apps data and sms/mms on my i9000 with CM7.1 V_V
[Android Apps and Games] mobidzid:
Actually, you are right! All my precious Angry Birds achievements are lost now :( ;) I can't restore the data from backup either, only apps.
[Android Apps and Games] Risingson:
Great potential here, my feedback FWIW

Restoring from CM7 to CM7 after crash and restore (no change in ROM version) using S2E (simple2ext) with all apps, data etc moved to SD.

Batch app restore seems to work ok (circa 350 apps) however data does not. When apps are selected individually the data does restore, but when multiple (as few as 2) are selected only one will restore data. Given a weekend coming up I may have been prepared to restore individually but as it takes so long for the app list to load this is not feasible!

SMS does not restore

Wifi does not restore

Once one app restore instruction has been executed the appextractor window remains open, this is good, however I get FC if a further instruction is given.

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] o.oneway:
how to root rom 2.3.5? i'm sorry for english
[Android Apps and Games] awjones:
Thanks for the feedback - much appreciated!

I just published a new version (1.5.3). Can you see if this works when restoring your data now? Did you reboot after restoring SMS / Wifi?

I'm looking into changing the way that SMS / MMS messages are restored... a more reliable way that would hopefully work across different ROMS. I'm deving / testing on a DX so it limits me... I'm able to restore CM7 SMS messages without issue so I'm curious why this may not be working for you.
[Android Apps and Games] Risingson:
Have just tried everything again, forgot to mention that some apps are not restored and do not show up on the app list. I believe they are included in the CM backup file as I have restored from this and the apps are there. What would be the best way to view the CM img on a PC?
[Android Apps and Games] awjones:
If your images end in img, then they are in YAFFS format. To extract them on a PC, you can Google "unyaffs" and you might find something to extract the images. If you have some apps that were installed on your SD card using Apps2SD, then AppExtractor cannot pull these out. They are in a secure container file.
[Android Apps and Games] Risingson:
Ok, off the top of my head (phone currently running data restore attempt) the apps that didn't restore may have been downloaded and/or installed in my latest CM install running S2E so perhaps that's why. The apps that have installed have been inherited from an old ROM before I applied S2E. Maybe the SMS and wifi settings as well if I have moved all data and cache etc to SD via S2E.
[Android Apps and Games] irishpancake:
Can I ask if there is support for Dark Tremor A2SD with this App.

I am using the A2SDGUI App, and have all my Apps on sd-ext, zipaligned on boot, also the Davvik Cache on sd-ext, no Swap.......

My phone is ZTE Blade, Gen 2, running Swedish Spring Froyo (2.2)

I have CMR 5.0.2.0, and ROM Manager.

It would be a fantastic development and very welcome, but seems to be very definitely a WIP.
[Android Apps and Games] jchee81:
Hi, I recently flashed the latest Android Revolution HD 4.16 ROM on my Sensation (Telstra Model), and I managed to restore my SMS messages from the Nandroid backup that I made in CWM before doing the whole S-OFF/Flash thing.

If I flash a newer version of this ROM in the future, how do I fully restore Appextractor as I already paid for the pro version on my current ROM?

I am assuming that I will also need to do another backup in CWM before I flash the newer version of the ROM. Do I just download Appextractor again from the market, then run it and restore apk and data for Appextractor using my last Nandroid backup?
[Android Apps and Games] swm5126:
Great app, I love the idea. Unfortunately SMS restore doesn't work for me at all. I'm using the HTC Incredible with CM7. Other than that kudos on the idea :D
[Android Apps and Games] Midda:
I just bought the key but the app won't unlock. It keeps telling me to buy the key, which I've already got installed. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app and rebooting, but it still keeps telling me to buy a key. Is this a known issue? I'm using an Asus Transformer with the PRIME 2.1.0 ROM.
[Android Apps and Games] ejkejej:
Hi,

this apps looks great for mine needs, but unfortunetly it hangs, and quits without any errors while scanning applications to restore and restarts right after showing "Restoring messages...". Im using HTC Desire and moving from InsertCoin ROM to CoolSense 3D, both CM7. Backed up with CWM 2.5 (i should update :D ). Apps download from here via qrcode.

You maybe have any solution ?
[Android Apps and Games] eww245:
So can the key apk be sideloaded without being logged into the Market? Reason I ask is I find it much eaiser to restore everything before signing into any accounts.
[Android Apps and Games] dirtyreturn:
Does app extractor work similar to titanium backup? Or does it work in an entirely different way?
[Android Apps and Games] awjones:
AppExtractor will let you extract and restore apps / data from your Nandroid backups. Instead of making a separate app/data backup, you can just use a Nandroid backup to restore from. I believe Titanium Backup Pro has this functionality now as well.
[Android Apps and Games] 10507:
When extracting app, is there any way to have appextractor rename the app with its actual name. Example, Angry Birds as "Angry Birds.apk" and not com.angrybirds.apk ?

Thanks + been using paid version,
[Android Apps and Games] Paparasee:
Jones,

Would love to know what has to be checked to restore:

Date settings (I prefer to have it as dd/mm/yyyy)

Sound:

Vibrate settings (want the vibrate to be "always on")

Volume settings (all volumes to be at highest)

Phone Ringtone (want to have it restored to the one I have chosen)

Keyboard settings (want to have it default to my saved keyboard - not default android). Restoring the personal keyboard app setting only restores the settings for that app ... does not set that as default.

Accounts & Sync ... How to restore all the accounts I had set earlier instead of typing it in again.

Would really appreciate if you can tell me which system apps I have to restore to get those mentioned above back as it was in the image :)

Thanks & Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] eww245:
Well sideloading did not work, no big deal.

This is such an awesome app. Restored almost everything with no issues, just a few apps had to be restored with Titanium. Consider adding Call Log restore to the menu, it's in Contacts Storage.

Thanks :)
[Android Apps and Games] Midda:
So I'm the only person who has this issue?
[Android Apps and Games] voodooboy3000:
Hi

I just bought the app, I should have tried it out before buying as my phone reboots itself a few seconds after starting the restore process

I will do some fishing in the logs to see what is doing it.

any other ideas
[Android Apps and Games] invent_lee:
wow it's wonderful
[Android Apps and Games] psallitesapienter:
Hi. I'm new here, and just wanted to share my experience.

I went from an out-of-the-box, unrooted Galaxy i9000 with 2.3.3 installed to a CyanogenMod 7.1.0. Before I even rooted my device, I did a backup of everything through ROM Manager 4.8.0.5 (the so-called NAND Backup) and Kies. After flashing CM 7 I tried to restore everything through ROM Manager without any luck. After many tries (and days) I finally settled to only get my contacts back (yes, I should have synced to Google, but I forgot). Searching through Google I found this post/app and thought "Wow! It just my work!". Sadly I have tried many times to restore either contacts, Wifi settings or sms without any luck at all. The only thing that partially works is the Restore Apps function. I say partially because the apps+data is restored, but an App never shows up in Market as installed (under Market->MyApps).

Anyways, I found in another post (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=983471) a small java application that restores contacts from the .sbu file you make through Kies. This restored all my contacts and I'm relieved.

It would be nice if this App worked for everybody, since it really is a good idea. Thanks anyways for making this App!!

[Android Apps and Games] awjones:
I'm still planning on adding updates. Stay tuned.
[Android Apps and Games] rosswaa:
Titanium does this already, no?
[Android Apps and Games] negative13:
This uses a nandroid backup instead of titanium backup. Basically, instead of having two separate backups, nandroid and titanium, you can use your nandroid to recover apks and data instead of using titanium, saving space and time as a result.
[Android Apps and Games] rosswaa:
What I meant was titanium can extract from nandroids already, its been added in for ages now used it quite a few times
[Android Apps and Games] negative13:
Didn't know that haha

[Android Apps and Games] droeders:
Proper SMS/MMS restore across different ROMs would be the holy grail for me - enough for me to spring/donate for this app and then some.

I've been trying to use Titanium and/or MyBackup Pro to restore SMS/MMS messages from a Sense based ROM to AOSP and it's giving me fits. After restoring the messages to the AOSP ROM, the MMS messages are always split off from their original conversations. I see the same behavior with the stock messaging app, Chomp, Handcent or GoSMS. With the Sense ROM and Sense messaging app, these same MMS messages are embedded with all the other SMS messages from the same sender. I haven't yet tried your application for this same test.

I was actually to the point that I was going to try to develop my own solution, but I stumbled across AppExtractor last night. It doesn't sound like it's fully mature yet, but your quote above gives me hope. For the record, I would be happy to test and/or help with coding if I can assist here at all. I'm an embedded Linux engineer by day, and haven't yet delved into Android, but I suspect I could assist. At a minimum, I certainly have a great test case I'd be willing to report on.

I've actually looked into my issue a bit and I think the messaging apps are getting confused by the non-standard schema of the HTC mmssms.db file. I can probably massage my mmssms.db file to make this work, but I'm looking for something more robust - a solution that I could trust going forward.

Let me know if I can assist in any way!

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] DemonLoader:
Hello all. I have a question about restoring "everything" from a Titanium backup across different roms. (This is a separate thread from my previous question)

Here's my scenario:

I recently learned how to switch my ROM from SD to NAND. Luckily the ROM I chose long ago just experimenting was AmeriCanAndroid on SD, which happened to have a NAND counterpart so using Titanium Backup I was able to completely backup and restore everything with no problem/no quirks.

I now want to change my NAND ROM from AmeriCanAndroid to RUNNYMEDE 0.82.401.1 - Android 2.3.5 - Sense 3.5 (because I have a heartOn for sense).

I got the hang of using CWM recovery, and changing the cache and data sizes, but the hurting started when I got into the ROM and used Titanium to restore the backup I made in AmeriCan to use in this new one. I now keep getting Force Close errors.

I've done it about 5 times now, with different options checked in Titanium, like restoring the libs, and not, un-checking all of the red system apps from restoring, even did a permissions reset from Rom Manager, all with the same results. I get Force Close messages constantly.

"android.process.acore", " com.android.htccontacts", "com.android.mms", "com.android.phone" are the main ones and I can't open many "system" apps at all after the restore.

Is there something I'm missing in this process? Mostly what I care about are the sms/mms, mail, contacts, call log, ect (of that nature), but I would like to keep setings and wallpapers, ect as well if I can. Is this accomplish-able? If so how, if not, how can I come close?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] samsamuel:
Try doing a fix permissions in cwm
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] DemonLoader:
Thanks samsamuel. I know I didn't specify it, but when I tried the permissions fix in Rom manager, I also started the process over and tried it in CWMr, to the same effect. So I think I've rules out it being a permissions problem.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] samsamuel:
well if it were me changing roms, id do a cwm backup, then 'wipe data / factory reset', flash the new rom, let it boot all the way to the welcome screen, reboot into cwm and then selectively restore data and sd ext, , but since i've only played with cm7 roms, and not that much, i couldn't tell you how well it will work.

Cant hurt to try tho, eh?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bikeracer4487:
This seems like a long shot, but I'm wondering if there's any way to install an older version of the Android OS. I know it seems counterintuitive to want an OLDER version of Android, but it'd be really handy for app-testing purposes if I could switch between versions of the OS without resorting to emulators. Please let me known if you have any ideas.

P.S. I only have access to Nexus S and Galaxy S II phones right now, which both shipped with 2.3, so flashing an original, pre-update ROM isn't an option.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shotta35:
Well you can only downgrade to what's available. The phones only came with 2.3+ so it's not like you can put 2.1 or 1.6 on it. There wouldn't be any support as drivers weren't written for those versions.
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] istreva:
Hey guys,

I used to have a symbian, Nokia 5800 which have a very cool application batch installer, basically after wiping the SD card and place all my apps in a folder then run this app, it would install the apps one by one automatically so i won't do it manually (hence avoid doing it over 39 times or so), this was a time saver for me, is there any application for Android that would do this, just configure and have it install all apps either to the phone or the sdcard, this would be something that can lower the restoration of apps after a customer install or adding a whole bunch of new download via PC apps and games.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Sent from my Constantly Inquirying Mind
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] dsaklein:
You could use titanium backup, backup all your app and then restore it...
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] istreva:
Can I also do this with Xrecovery, or only Titanium does the trick? and if so, would the apps all run back from my SD card once i do this or it would be diferent? thanks for your response dsaklein
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] Godra:
You can create flashable zip with all your apps and then flash it with CWM or xRecovery.
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] dsaklein:
i dont think that they would be different bacause you are doing backup so they must stay the same.....but like Godra says you can do it with xrecovery search forum for it
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] silentw:
You can use FlashTool ;)
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] istreva:
I think the create my flashable zip file sounds good, should I just zip all files or is there a way to do that too?

also silentw can you elaborate on how do I use the flash tool? I want to do an autoinstall batch rather than something manual!

Hey everyone, not sure this is the right section but here goes.

I am running a rooted att 2.3.4 atrix and using swype. my keyboard randomly collapses while i am typing. i dont thing im hitting a specific button or anything, just randomly decides that im done typing. usually happens after occasionally right as i swype a word, as in just when a new word is inputted.

any ideas?

Thanks

edit: ps was working fine last week, no changes in software since this started happening
[Atrix 4G General] Jibraldor:
Had this problem when I first had my Astrix. I solved it by completely deleting my "dictionary" and disabling it. Lg you go on settings and on input then choose keyboard settings, you will find your personalised dictionary filled with words that you have been using which are not included in the phone's dictionary (usually slaNg words).

Sorry for any typos. I am Swyping half asleep here. If you mange to solve your problem, which I am sure you will. Don't forget to give thank me.
