Nice update! :good:
[Android Software Development] H3R3T1C:
New beta!

Version 1.1c

* Fixed bug that prevented apps+data from being restored.
[Android Software Development] Robert's PDA:
I know this can handle SMS's but can this also restore my MMS's from a nandroid backup? If not any idea how I can?
[Android Software Development] H3R3T1C:
At the moment this app is not able to restore MMS but I believe all the data for MMS is in the mmssms.db file at data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/. Just restore this file to the same place as it is in you nandroid backup, reboot and your mms data should all be there.
[Android Software Development] Robert's PDA:
Thanks for your quick reply, yes I've done that. The mms messages are showing up in the thread but the pictures are not in them.

Update: I gave up. I usually use Android's built-in SMS backup utility for my SMS's, and Mms Backup Restore by

Night Wind for my MMS's, excellent app btw. I back them up once a week, but I was doing some experiments in the ROM and after one particular tweak it wouldn't boot.Normally, it wouldn't matter but a friend just happened to send me a pic while I was in the middle of these experiments and I forgot to back it up. Didn't wanna ask her to resend it but just outta happy coincidence she resent it this morning by mistake. :)
[Android Software Development] H3R3T1C:
The data/com.android.providers.telephony/app_parts/ directory should have all your images from mms messages in it. The format for the files are .jpg so you can just extract them, rename them to .jpg files and view them in your image viewer on your device!

This gives me an idea for a new restore data feature that will extract mms images from nandroid backups!
[Android Software Development] H3R3T1C:
Current beta of Nandroid Manager has graduated from beta to production. The new build should be visible in the play store soon.

What's New:

Version 1.1

* Fixed bug that prevented apps+data from being restored.

* Clicking Compressed Backup under Extra Attributes now give you the option to decompress the backup.

* Decompressing of backups has been improved.

* Fixed bug that prevented data from being extracted from backups in some cases.

* Added support for cwm backups stored in the custom_backup folder.

* Read speed for split CWM backups has been greatly increased.

* Extracting speed of data from split CWM has been greatly increased.
[Android Software Development] TopperBG:
It's great improvements thanks for the good job.

But I've follow the thread and thought bout this split backups and so many effort to get properly managed .... What's the purpose of this split backups? Just to store few smaller files or....what ?
[Android Software Development] H3R3T1C:
Its basicly used to split up large partitions into smaller 1gb chunks.

On some cwm based recovery the split backup option is not optional so it was very important that I properly support split cwm backups. I think it turned out pretty well. I was able to move away having to use the tar utility in busybox and use a pure java approach that was much more flexible and robust.
[Android Software Development] TopperBG:
I see, thank you.
[Android Software Development] SeraphSephiroth:
Are we currently able to restore apps and data from split CWM backups?
[Android Software Development] H3R3T1C:
Not fully. I have not yet implemented the split cwm read (for files containing more than one part) into the restore functions yet but I will be doing that soon in the public beta.

Tips converting ASEC into APK

Hi guys... from some previous post there is some user which unable to restore app + data which stored in asec format. What is asec format ? In short it's an encrypted file based on your device id (OK google it for more related info). Previously I'm not affected by this issues since I using CM10 and Play Store ver 3.x.x

Since latest update of Play Store 4.x.x now every paid app is stored in asec format for counterfeit piracy. It's good but some user (INCLUDING ME) getting annoyed because asec format can't be restored individually, you must restore a whole nandroid backup. After some research and testing I found a way to convert this asec format to normal APK :victory:

Using Backup and Restore Method (Tested)

Backup your paid app using Titanium Backup / RomToolBox / etc

Restore this app including data.

FINISH... restored app will be in normal apk instead of asec format

Patch your ROM to disable install as asec (Tested)

Install Xposed Framework. See detail here

Install MoDaCo Toolkit here

Install XPosed and activate MoDaCo toolkit module

In MoDaCo Toolkit check Disable Forward Lock (General > System > Disable Forward Lock)

Reboot your phone

BENEFIT from it. All next paid app will be installed as normal apk

NOTE: Using above method will prevent all next paid app installed as asec BUT all previous paid app still in asec format you must convert it as normal apk

OK as bonus: I also found a XDA thread regarding this asec / forward lock issues: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2179496. His way to disable asec format is too risky for me (decompiling and recompiling stuff) but someone at that thread give some script to batch convert asec into apk:

Unfortunately I trying this script and not working... it's always give me directory not found error :crying: If somebody can fix this script please share it :).

IMO: asec format require MORE storage instead of normal APK... why license file stored in asec format required 2 MB but it's only less than 100 KB in normal APK geez...
[Android Software Development] H3R3T1C:
Thanks for the info!

Here is some even more info about asec format: http://nelenkov.blogspot.com/2012/07/using-app-encryption-in-jelly-bean.html

Since the last update Nandroid Manager is unable to explore or restore from compressed backups. I'm pretty sure it was able to explore/restore from compressed backups in the previous version. My phone's a Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100G running CM10.1 with a custom kernel with TWRP 2.5.0.0.
[Android Software Development] Dr.Gasmo:
found a bug. If you go to restore a nandroid backup that you had disabled md5 compression, and you didn't generate it in nandroid manager, it will still allow you to wipe all data and caches, then it will fail to restore. leaving you with an empty phone that you now have to re-setup before you can attempt to restore again, easily adding an hour or two to your process trying to figure the bull**** out.

also, your generate md5 menu has spelling errors
[Android Software Development] H3R3T1C:
I will try to have this bug fixed in the next beta.

Thanks for pointing out this bug. I will have it fixed in the next production release of the app.
[Android Software Development] mong8se:
Feature suggestion:

An option to save the cache to the external sd card along side the backups.

This way you can try out different ROMs, using Nandroid Manager to restore apps+data, without having to wait for it to build the apps+data cache once per ROM.
[Android Software Development] ej8989:
Excellent app. Saved my 17,000+ SMS from TWRP 2.5 nandroid backup :good:
[Android Software Development] zabumba:
Sorry if this as been asked but I can't find the answer:

I installed the pro version on 2 devices (both android 4.1.2 Samsung stock rooted rom)

Galaxy note 2 LTE (GT-N7105) - TWRP 2.5

Galaxy Tab 2 7' (P3110) - CWM - 6.0.2.7

On both I receive the same message (see screenshot added)

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

*Screenshot take before installing the pro version.

Trying update busybox ? Use stericson busybox from market. Hope it's help. Don't forget nandroid backup before it as precaution.
[Android Software Development] zabumba:
Thank you. Although both roms had busybox installed from the start (rooted, busybox, deodex,...) I installed stericson busybox just in case...but unfortunately the result is the same.

To test busybox I installed Online Nandroid Backup that needs busybox to run and everything went well (made a backup without errors and say that busybox was installed...).

I really don't know what to do.

When i restored SMS, the time/date stamps are inaccurate. It says Jan 1, 1970 on almost all received sms.
[Android Software Development] eboye:
Just a suggestion.. It would be great if you could add the option to restore APN settings. btw great app
[Android Software Development] themadproducer:
Sounds just like the cwm date bug.
[Android Software Development] hadi_rena:
Have similar problem before... just delete all of your SMS and restore again it's should fix timestamp. Don't know the reason but it fix the problem
[Android Software Development] H3R3T1C:
This sometimes happens when the app is not given superuser permissions. Go into your superuser app and clear any settings for nandroid manager, reopen the app and wait for the superuser dialog show so the app can gain superuser permission.
[Android Software Development] zabumba:
Thanks for your help. Tried your suggestion but unfortunately it didn't work.

I managed to solve the problem after some experiences, but I still don't have a clue about what cause the issue.

My devices have Samsung based roms made by me. Basically I add some mods and debloat the rom to fit my needs. To solve the issue I made a complete stock rom (rooted, deodex, zipalined) and after flash that rom and install Nandroid Manager everything works properly. Then made a backup of the app with Rom Toolbox Pro (app+data). After this I restore the previous rom and the backup of Nandroid Manager made with Rom Toolbox Pro and it works. This backup also work on the Galaxy Note 2 (n7105).

Why this happen is still a mystery to me...

Thanks
[Android Software Development] Sepharite:
Hi there. I created a backup on CWM, but Nandroid only can find a select number of applications. It found 15 out of approximately 50 of my applications that I backed up, not including system apps.

Is this a bug? Or has something gone terribly wrong during the backup?
[Android Software Development] H3R3T1C:
Is you CWM backup a split backup? Also if your app are paid apps they may not be able to be listed because the are stored as asec files in the nandroid backup.
[Android Software Development] blueeagle69:
When is the Restore Homescreen option coming :)
[Android Software Development] H3R3T1C:
New beta released!

* Added link to become beta tester in settings.

* Folders can now be extracted from nandroid backup.

* Added tips & info screen to Explore Backup.

** To extract a folder from a backup simply long click on the folder!

Please provide feedback and suggestions (if any) about the extract folder feature and the tips and info screen!

Become a Beta Tester

I'm not sure because I've been really busy adding support for split cwm backups and fixing some issues the app is having on some devices. When I start working on the feature I'll post more info about it here in the thread.

[Android Software Development] weirdsciencex:
I use link2sd which stores apps on an ext4 partition on the sdcard.

When I try to restore I can see Nandroid Manager reading the data and sdext archives but when I come to select the apps to restore from the backups there will only be a couple which were stored on internal memory.

I know some are paid apps in asec format which won't restore but I don't know why the other apps don't show up in the list.

Using the latest beta version and pro key.
[Android Software Development] H3R3T1C:
You must join the nandroid manager community for the link to work!

In the last beta I added a bug report feature for specific backups. Click on the backup you are having trouble with from the main screen. Now at the top you should see a the bug icon. Click on it to send me a bug report specific to that backup.
[Android Software Development] weirdsciencex:
OK thanks. Bug report sent.
[Android Software Development] H3R3T1C:
Thanks. I looked over it and found the problem.

Can you try this new version and let me know if the bug has been fixed?
[Android Software Development] weirdsciencex:
Thanks for the quick response. The problem is still there though. Have sent you a new bug report.
[Android Software Development] H3R3T1C:
Ok try this new version.
[Android Software Development] weirdsciencex:
No change. Tried with both a ICS and JB backup.
[Android Software Development] H3R3T1C:
I see that there are 271 apps detected. When the app reaches the screen shown in your second screenshot how many apps are listed?
[Android Software Development] weirdsciencex:
12 in total
[Android Software Development] H3R3T1C:
The app has been updated! The new version should be visible soon!

What's New:

Version 1.1.1

* Full support for restoring data from split cwm backups.

* Added link to become beta tester in settings.

* Folders can now be extracted from nandroid backup.

* Added tips & info screen to Explore Backup.

* Added a bug reporter to report bugs specific to a certain backup.

* Backup path selector has been improved.

* Split cwm apps+data can now be fully restored.

Try the new version I published to the play store and let me know if the problem has been fixed.
[Android Software Development] weirdsciencex:
Success!!!

Thanks so much. If only all devs where so quick and responsive :)

i aint boot my phone after i flash a recovery on Nandroid manager . i am using HTC Evo3d

(stuck on HTC boot)

---------- Post added at 01:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:53 PM ----------

flashing recovery on Nandroid Manager to HTC Evo 3D is not compatible
[Android Software Development] slonn:
I have a real problem with flashing custom rom. I had made three nandroid backups with Nandroid Manager. When I needed to restore the latest backup I booted into CWM but I got this error message: "Error while flashing boot image! No files found." The backups can be seen in recovery but it can't actually restore any of them.

I rebooted the phone but it got stuck on the Samsung logo so I had to push a stock image via Odin. Now, if I flash a custom recovery and go into it I'm not able to flash a custom rom anymore. It just starts vibrating and the screen turns black. when pressing a button it automatically goes into bootloader mode. I used the i9505-cwm-recovery-6.0.3.2-5 for the initial restore that failed.

any idea what happened and how I can fix it so it will be possible to flash custom roms again?

[Android Software Development] jesterpaul:
Have made two backups with online nandroid backup and can see these when I navigate to the TWRP folder with a file manager. However Nandroid manager doesn't see them, even though I have specified the path to the TWRP folder.

Any ideas?
[Android Software Development] H3R3T1C:
What is the full path of your TWRP folder.

I would try clearing the app data and reopening the app so it auto detects the paths.
[Android Software Development] jesterpaul:
Path is mnt/sdcard/TWRP and I also have mnt/extsdcard/clockwork mapped

Deleted application data. Now it shows one backup of only 16kb size. Wierd

2 feature requests

1. In Nandroid Manager, when multiple backup directories are used, add the ability to move a backup's location.

2. This is actually for onandroid. Error out if an unsupported partition has been selected.

I only wanted datadata, but it's not separate on my device. The backup size was calculated to be 0, but it still made a backup that was about 3k.

_________

Okay, dumb question:

Could "selective backup" only have only backed up the data subdirectory from the data partition?

OR, could it create a delta backup based on timestamp? My full nandroid was made yesterday, but it wasn't visible/available to compare to. So,I just made a full backup on data.
[Android Software Development] ameer1234567890:
If I choose to give out errors on unsupported partitions, It would be a hell lot of errors in a default backup, which might not be useful for the normal user. Anyway, since the log did not say "Backing up" so and so partition, it is clear that it didn't backup.

This isn't possible with the script yet. What would be a possible use case for this?
[Android Software Development] Haraldr Blaatand:
I only knew my attempt failed, because I was watching it, it was just that single partition, and it ran too fast. But it created the backup directory, the log, and a tar. It looked real pretty in NM too. I'm not trying to be an a**, but it would have fooled a noob/normal/me-without-enough-coffee user. If I hadn't seen it happen, I wouldn't have read the log.

Append "HAS-ERRORS" to the dir name? <roll eyes>

So "datadata" could be mapped to "/data/data" for idiots like me. :) Then it would also take less time and be smaller.

That would really mess with the device patch format though.

Eh. It was a thought.
[Android Software Development] ameer1234567890:
If it created a tar file, that is an issue, Can you post the log file here?

Some devices have a separate partition /data/data. Thus, I cant map /data/data as a separate partition except for those devices. Otherwise, it would be a mess. Also, your CWM / TWRP won't be able to restore it.

[Android Software Development] int0x13:
Hello,

AFAIK your application is the only one that supports CWM v6 format? Right or not?

There was AppExtractor2.0 Beta but it's dead and i cant use it anymore.

About your Nandroid manager:

1)Why no restore contact feature?

2)Feature to rename a backup (pencil icon) is preventing future restore of this backup, because md5 checking is based on original folder name

3)Restore Call logs was not working for me

4)Any news about Restore home screen, and which launcher will be supported?

Regards and ty for your hard work.
[Android Software Development] H3R3T1C:
Yes I hope to have these problems fixed in the next version of the app.

There is no restore contacts feature because most users are able to restore their contacts using their google account. I do plan to add a restore contacts feature for those who do not sync their contacts with their google account.

Send me a debug report for the backup that is not allowing you to restore call logs.

Home screen restore is ~70% done. Still need to solve the issue of restoring widgets and live backgrounds. It should be universal so all launchers should be supported!

Right now I need to fix a few bugs in Online Nandroid Backup and I will start work on Nandroid Manager again.

Please join the Nandroid Manager Community and sign up to be a beta tester because that is where people will get to preview these features first!
[Android Software Development] int0x13:
I joined the google+ community and joined the the beta testing. Now what do i need to do to beta test the app?

What do you think of my question number 2 about rename feature?

Thank you
[Android Software Development] Haraldr Blaatand:
Oops. My bad. I deleted that backup. So I just re-ran it, and it only had the md5 and the log file.

Ah. I hadn't put 2 and 2 together.
[Android Software Development] H3R3T1C:
Once you have joined the the G+ community and joined the beta testing thats all you need to do. When a new beta is published I will make a post in the G+ community and you will be able to download the beta just like a normal build of the app though google play.

About your question two, in all my tests backups were able to be restored even though I renamed them. What recovery are you running on your device?
[Android Software Development] H3R3T1C:
The app has been updated!

Version 1.1.3

* UI has been tweaked a bit to better fit with the Online Nandroid Backup UI.

* Fixed FC's that were reported by users.

* Fixed bug that prevented MD5 hashes from being verified.
[Android Software Development] vance74:
Noob question.

I tried doing a backup and it seems very small. I did a regular backup with TWRP then did a wipe. Then I tried restoring with again with TWRP. It didn't work. Shouldn't the backups be 2 or three gb's?
