BTW, I have tested this script several times with test builds of my ROM and also tested it going from SleeperROM 1.x to my ROM. In sleeper ROM I started with blank slate, installed a few apps, configured my email and set a wallpaper. I then installed a test build of my ROM CleanGB with this backup restore script and I had no problems after flashing; all of my data and settings, including the apps in /data from sleeper ROM came over.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Thank you for this. I proposed this to ERA for Legendary and also to the Bonsai crew.
[Epic 4G Android Development] shane6374:
Couldn't agree more. Seems like I'm constantly cleaning backup files off my sdcard.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Why not delete the backup file after the restore? Otherwise a flashaholic will have a whole bunch of these files on their card as well as their nandroids, titanium backups, ROMs, pics etc. Just add a delete to the script.
[Epic 4G Android Development] SenseiSimple:
That's my mentality on it. But in case something goes wrong with the restore, maybe, you have the whole backup file to dissect? that was the only reason i could think of to keep all the cruft in which case, at least have them all consolidated.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MДЯCЦSДИT:
I will definitely include this in my rom. Thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Everyone should already be making a nandroid before flashing anything and then can always use advanced restore data. My issue is until you start looking at your sd card, you don't know ROMs have left backups behind. Nuke em...lol.
[Epic 4G Android Development] toadlife:
Sounds good to me. Putting them both in one script would be easier too. I'll use the second revision. You could allways pass another varible to the script to tell it weather or not to delete the backup.
[Epic 4G Android Development] toadlife:
Ten years sysadminning had led me to be extremely wary of deleting data, so I'm always inclined to keep backups.
[Epic 4G Android Development] SenseiSimple:
I know that personally if something messed up with the re-install phase of the flashing, i'd want the backup file to still be available... it would be nice to have a unified backup dir, and maybe even an option in CWM to delete backups left by roms - it becomes somewhat of a redundancy of CWM's backup at that point, but it's not as if we can invoke the CWM backup routine from script anyway...

i deleted my script from the post, on testing, i just can't get it to run - in theory it's a great idea - the single script file is sound but running it from the updater_script with run_program("/tmp/data_save","backup"); for example, just doesn't run it... i've tried variations using

run_program("/sbin/sh","/tmp/data_save","backup");

run_program("/tmp/busybox","sh","/tmp/data_save","backup");

each are no-go...

individually, the scripts work... is there a limitation that the only way run_program can pass arguments is to a binary and not a shell script? that's all i can think of

EDIT:

I GOT IT, will post up the revision in a moment
[Epic 4G Android Development] toadlife:
Crud. I just posted updated version at the top that contains a variable to control deletion of the backup file.

Can you update the script to take a variable that controls whether or not the backup file gets deleted?
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
It may be worthwhile to add the current date to the filename - it keeps the current backup and restore for a flash fresh, but allows archival copies to be trivially stored ala Nandroid.
[Epic 4G Android Development] toadlife:
This could be done right after the restore finishes...if the file is not set to be deleted...

date=`date +.%m.%d.%Y.%I:%M`;
newromname={$romname}{$date}
newbackfile=/sdcard/${build}_ROM_Backup/$newromname.tgz
mv $backfile $newbackfile
[Epic 4G Android Development] toadlife:
Sorry, I got impatient and rolled them into one script myself. It tags the files with the date if the delete option is not set. The script is in the first post.
[Epic 4G Android Development] hoffman1984:
From looking at it, it doesn't look like there should be issues... Nice work!

and with the improved handling of tarballs through CWM, this thing should be nice and fast! =)
[Epic 4G Android Development] SenseiSimple:
Your version still didn't work for me, same issue i was facing with mine.

I updated post #4 with an updated version based on a combination of yours and the one i was late providing, i've tested it several times with the three options.

What are you thoughts? Try it out and if it works update your code detail with it, my mini-tutorial can be linked complementary to it

EDIT I just remembered/experienced that CWM (5.0.2.7 afaik) has a bug in which it doesn't provide the right datetime. So the archive feature may be broken until that is fixed. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=19689193#post19689193 - mine shows several years off "jan 01, 2005 01:00" and the archives overwrite themselves... perhaps we need to serialize/number rather than date
[Epic 4G Android Development] toadlife:
What issue? It worked great for me.

IIRC, Jan 1 2005 is the date you get when you pull the battery. Apparently it resets the internal clock on the device. When doing a normal reboot or power down the current date is retained.

Anyhow, yours looks fine. I'll test it out later today and will edit my top post with your revision.
[Epic 4G Android Development] SenseiSimple:
Cool thanks, sorry for the delay. about the time, i had indeed recently pulled the battery without booting in between.

The issue i had with my original script and yours was something to do with busybox applets/builtins between /tmp/busybox and /sbin/busybox... i'm not sure what version of busybox i had included with my rom, but i substituted mine with yours (mine was 1.9MB which i've noticed in a few different roms, yours and the one in ICS releases are 2MB), and for good measure combined our two scripts, everything magically came together, oddly enough with the combined script, both busybox versions work.
[Epic 4G Android Development] toadlife:
Just tested it with all three options delete/archive/[none] and it worked like a champ. I've updated the first post.

Any more features and it will transform from simple tar backup to, complex tar backup, so I think we should leave it alone now. :p
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Awesome work dude! Hope all the DEVs throw it into their ROMs.
[Epic 4G Android Development] nubecoder:
I haven't rly had time to look over the scripts being worked on here..

But I did a similar project awhile back, unfortunately it seems to have been passed over by most everyone.

Anyways, if you find something useful feel free to use it...

ps- It still wont work well when going from Froyo to GB...

=]
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
I'd be happy just to flash an update to a ROM and not have to advance data restore right after.
[Epic 4G Android Development] toadlife:
That's really cool. I never venture out the Epic 4G forums, so I would never have seen it.

That ventures into the arena of 'complicated tar backup' though. :p

Still, I'm going to rip it apart and check it out. Thanks. :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] SenseiSimple:
nice! that's pretty thorough, i was thinking of expanding on the one here, but now that we have the update to the simple backup/restore method and i'm aware of this in-depth one for fine tuning the backup/restore process at will, i think we're set..
[Epic 4G Android Development] toadlife:
Unfortunately, while the final version of the script works fine in the demonstration zip, when I put it into my ROM update zikp, it would not work. In the update logs it shows the error ": applet not found".

I went over it about 20 times and could not get it to work. I ended up putting put the last one that I made in there and it worked fine. I have no idea why.
[Epic 4G Android Development] b16flybye:
Damn devs, you got skilllllllz. Toad and sense, holy buckets. I swear, every other day, my og epic has some crazy new news brought out. From this, to finding out that rdf files are being tested for our phones. I feel like a school boy again

I bought this card from Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Transcend-mic...YX8U/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1322469285&sr=8-5

Although I've noticed my write speeds when transferring 700mb-4gb type files only to be 2.32MB/sec. Reviews on amazon show that others are getting 4MB/sec...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wortez:
no... but i saw this browsing the web... http://www.adorama.com/IDSMICSD32G.html?utm_source=ET&utm_medium=TransactionalEmail&utm_campaign=2point0Product1 its cheaper...and the site has great reviews...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] whatsitsnamenow:
I have the same card and my speed is around 4.2MB s. Have you try testing the speed of your card on a PC?

You can also try to format the card in the PC. I've seen it helped with my other micro sd card for the Motorola Photon.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tracerit:
how should i format it, in FAT32? i formatted it with the phone after i got the card.

i also notice that if i transfer files while in clockwork mod recovery, it'll transfer at 3.5-4MB/sec, but back to only 2.35MB/sec when booted up.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] whatsitsnamenow:
Yeah just format it to fat32. You can also try "sd formatter" program for windows.

Have you tried the Android app "sd card tester" to test the card speed? Do that test first to see if the problem is indeed with the micro sd card.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jblues1969:
From my experiences with micro SDHC in the Nook Color, there is no substitute for SanDisk cards. Their class 4 card is faster than everyone else's class 10s.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] syco123:
Just to clarify this fact, as it depends what you use the SD card for.

If you are running an Operating System from the SD card Sandisk have been found to have very fast random read/write speeds, but if you're recording video etc a Class 10 is better. The reason is an OS needs to write and read data from all over the card but recording video writes sequentially.

If you're not running the OS from the card, a higher class of any quality brand card will serve you better. If you are running the OS from the card, like many of us are with our Nook Colors (and lovin it), get a Sandisk Class 4.

Hello all! And question

I have only had my HTC Amaze for 1wk and am quite new to all this. :)

I wanted to ask if it is possible for me to apply any aspect of this theme to my Amaze without it being rooted?

I have tried several launchers but have yet to delve into rooting/roms etc...I would be more interested in doing so when/if s-off is accomplished for the Amaze.

Thank you all!

Ok, I have now attained a micro sdhc card. I'm going to try and be a commendable noob and search out any questions on previous posts.

As for the guide to rooting from Xboarder56...I have seen the one that is sticky'd by binary and I will have to do a search for Xboarder's.

Thank you kindly for the advice and here's to first time rooting.
