Trying this now. I have about 12,000 texts in my nandroid, so it'll take a while. Will let you know what happens when it's done.

I'm a little skeptical that it will work since Titanium, for some reason, couldn't properly (texts were missing and many timestamps were screwed up) restore the .xml backup it made on 4.1.2 to 4.4, but we'll see how this works.

It'd be nice to have my texts back though.

This would also come in handy with the upgrade of my One S phones from Stock to CM10.2 that I was playing around with on an extra phone today.
[Android Software Development] rsarno:
Hello everybody. Just found this app, and loving it!

I have a question ... is it a known issue that the app hangs while restoring app+data? If so, is there any work around?

My last wipe i did not do any backup of apps, assuming i can restore them using this app from the extract ... but cant seem to get very far, it just sort of sits there on the same app with no progress.

Thanks again! GREAT application here!
[Android Software Development] lexluthor:
It's still running, but I can see it's not going to be much better than the titanium restore. It looks like it's restoring everything, but the time that shows in the message list (the time that it uses to sort the message list) shows the time the last message was imported. So, once this is done, I'm going to have a list of messages where the message list is all out of order, but when I go into a particular thread, all of the dates/times are correct. It's strange that I can go into a thread and see the last messages was, say 11/15, but it's at the top of the message list with a date of time and a time of current.

Any thoughts on why it's doing that?

I'm not sure if this was any improvement upon the titanium restore. I should have looked at that a little closer and determined if it was importing all of my messages. I think Titanium did also restore MMS (group messages, but not pictures), so maybe that was better, but I probably won't delete this import and restore that again because each restore just takes so long.

EDIT: I was a bit premature. Looks like there's some sort of last step that fixes the timestamps. When I peaked into my messaging app while the restore was still going on, I saw the above. Once I made my messaging app default and went back into it, all the timestamps are correct. Great job! I do not have any of my group texts still since those are MMS, but this is very good.

Maybe you can clue me in as to if your app is doing something at the end with the timestamps or did the system do something? If it was the system, I'm wondering why it didn't do it with the Titanium restore.

Thanks for a great app!
[Android Software Development] H3R3T1C:
Better support for CWM incremental backups will be added in next beta.

For the nandroid backup you are having trouble what files are listed when you swipe over to Explore Backup in the app?
[Android Software Development] H3R3T1C:
Have you tried using the latest beta version of the app?

Great! Glad it worked for you.

To fix the timestamps I use the following code:

ContentResolver cr = context.getContentResolver();
cr.delete(Uri.parse("content://sms/conversations/-1"), null, null);
[Android Software Development] dingolino:
Please find enclosed a screenshot. This is only a part of the file list

Edit

I think I have not made a incremental backup - at least this was not my intention - I always want to make complete full backups - hope that this is really the case

Checking in here. I used the newest version (beta 3) today while I was flashing a new Rom. I pulled the SMS, Call logs, and Apps+Data over from a previous Nandroid backup and everything went fine. Nandroid manager switched over to default SMS app and back and pulled the SMS logs with no issues. Looks like the fixes are working great.
[Android Software Development] andrewnelson23:
I think its ready for release.

Works perfectly for me. Just one question. Titanium backup can backup/restore SMS and MMS on kitkat and it takes like 3 seconds to restore. I don't know how they do it, but I was wondering if this would be possible with nandroid manager? I'm guessing it would break the merge functionality, but Im sure there'd be some way to fix it.
[Android Software Development] lexluthor:
I also recently have been playing around with restoring from both Titanium and Nandroid Manager. Titanium restored much faster (probably about an hour vs 3 hours for 12,000 messages), but Titanium couldn't merge with existing SMS and Titanium had screwed up last message Timestamp and all of my conversations were out of order, all with timestamps of when the backup finished (inside each thread, the timestamps for individual messages were ok though).

But, yes, interesting question. Why is Titanium so much faster to restore? If I had run Nandroid without the merge function, would it have been just as fast then? Is it the merge procedure that slows it down?
[Android Software Development] andrewnelson23:
Hmm tb hasn't done that to me. So idk. Woah!! What kinda phone do you have?? My gs3 restores my 10,500 messages by tb almost instantaneously. And using merge with nandroid, it takes much longer. But not 3 hours! Like half an hour.
[Android Software Development] lexluthor:
Gs3. I'm restoring an .xml backup. I didn't backup using the app backup section. I suspect that's what you did and that's why it's fast.
[Android Software Development] H3R3T1C:
The reason that restore of SMS data is slow in the app is because I'm using ContentReslover to put sms data into the sms database. I know a few trick that may work to get the app to restore the sms data much faster but I have not tested it yet. I'm working on a few things in the app but after im done with those things I'm going to try implements a faster way of restoring sms data.
[Android Software Development] jonny68:
Looks like a good apps I don't bother keeping text messages (why would you want to like) so that's of no concern to me but backing up my ROM is essential, how does this compare to ROM manager which I usually use, or is it different.

Downloading now anyway

Restoring SMS & call logs worked perfect from samsung stock 4.1.2 to CM 11 based ROM :)

Great job, thank you!

New release does not recognize integrated cwm (koush) superuser found in official CM11 (android 4.4.2 ROM) on toro. It insists that I need to download and flash supersu or cwm superuser.
[Android Software Development] Droidphilev:
Hi,

Ouch... good to know. Was just going to try this :(
[Android Software Development] dstruct2k:
That's always been the case with this app, the integrated SU from CWM has never worked. I suspect it's because [MENTION=4535362]H3R3T1C[/MENTION] is using a non-standard method of obtaining root in the app. (I've never seen other apps have this issue...)
[Android Software Development] demlv:
I was surprised by this because it always worked for me on cm10 using the integrated superuser.

[Android Software Development] 78Staff:
I posted a bit or a work-around a while back - granted it was 4.3 but it may work on KK as well... I normally run SuperSU so don't recall the particulars (I was on superuser temporarily which is how I noticed it) but if you search the thread it should pop up.

EDIT - here's the post... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=46391194#post46391194
[Android Software Development] meduza:
...it is the same with titanium backup and CM11, it doesn't except the integrated SU, it needes the external one.... But to replace the integraded SU with the external one is no problem at all

:) The CM SU seams just crappy....

m.
[Android Software Development] H3R3T1C:
The reason that Nandroid Manager and Titanium backup both need new superusers beside the stock one that comes with the rom is because the stock superuser must enforce some of the SELinux policies that don't give apps full superuser permission and block some operations such as write to /system.
[Android Software Development] meduza:
...what I`m saying, it is just crappy and CM should do some work on it...

I wish you a healthy, happy ans successful 2014!!

[Android Software Development] demlv:
So Online Nandroid Backup works with the integrated CWM SU but Nandroid Manager will not!? Two root apps by the same developer but each uses a different method of obtaining root. Odd, but whatever works, I guess. Thanks for the replies, guys. I appreciate it. :good:

EDIT: Just saw H3R3T1C's additional explanation. Now it makes sense--even to me. Thx.

The fact that they continue using it suggests that it's done on purpose or they refuse to fix it. They can't not know that it's unstable.

[Android Software Development] demlv:
I'm running CM11 on a Verizon Galaxy Nexus (Toro). I have tried both superSU and the additional CWM superuser .zips. Both seem to grant superuser permissions to the app, but upon opening it I get an alert listing all kinds of read errors, all of which end with "EACCES (Permission denied)". I searched the thread and found nothing similar. I tried to fixing folder permissions in the app's settings, but still not joy.

Thanks for any suggestions. :confused:
[Android Software Development] H3R3T1C:
Try uninstalling and reinstalling the app. Also make sure that the app was given superuser permission by going into your superuser app and verifying that the app has superuser permission.
[Android Software Development] kantjer:
What sometimes also helps is removing the app, NM in this case, from the superuser app and let it grand SU access again.

Also make sure SuperSu is the last su app you opened, so you are sure the SuperSU binaries are loaded (becuase you know have 2 SU aps on your device, the last one used is active)
[Android Software Development] demlv:
Thanks! Reinstalled and now seems to be working perfectly. :highfive:
[Android Software Development] H3R3T1C:
Just a quick update on the next version of the app!

I'm going to be adding the ability to restore MMS data!

Also I know that it's a pain to restore all your text message just to be able to get back just that one or two very important text message so I'm going to be adding a new feature that will allow you to view all your text message from the nandroid backup without having to restore anything.

Both of these new features will be free for everyone to try out while in the beta stages of development but once they graduate from beta will be pro features.

Also I would like to thank the people who have been contributing to the app translations! If you have contributed to the translation of the app please email or PM me so I can send you a free pro key for Nandroid Manager Pro. Please include the username you use on the translation site in your email or PM.

Great! Glad that fixed it!

[MENTION=4535362]H3R3T1C[/MENTION] - I ran into an interesting issue...

I used Online Nandroid Backup to create a compressed TWRP-compatible backup on my external SD card; It took about 10 minutes and said it completed successfully. The total size of the backup was 1.1GB (about right for my /system + /data at the time) and it appeared in Nandroid Manager. (I did not attempt to view/restore the backup at this point, just made sure it was listed.)

I then installed a different ROM (went from an old CM11 4.4.0 build to CyanFox 4.4.2), installed Nandroid Manager, and attempted to load up the backup. Nandroid Manager said it was compressed and needed to be uncompressed, which I let it do. After decompression, I was told it was compressed (again?!) and it had to be decompressed... etc. (Did this 4 times.) Each time, the listed filenames went from "system.ext4.win" to "system.ext4.win.comp" to "system.ext4.win.comp.comp"... etc. At that point I decided to just go to TWRP and restore the entire backup, but TWRP didn't even list the backup.

I've since deleted the messed up backup and I'm dealing with the loss of SMS/call logs/apps/settings/etc, I just wanted to let you know what I did and how it broke so you could investigate, especially since I used 2 of your apps.
[Android Software Development] H3R3T1C:
Thanks for letting me know about the problem. Ill look into it and work on fixing it.

[Android Software Development] lexluthor:
Sent. Let me know what they see

.
[Android Software Development] H3R3T1C:
Thanks. I looked over the report.txt and it looks like your nandroid backups is a split CWM backup but I don't think that is the problem because I tested MMS restore on a split CWM backup. I do see that the backup contains mmssms.db, mmssms.db-wal, and mmssms.db-shm but the app was expecting mmssms.db and mmssms.db-journal. What version of android is the nandroid backup?

Edit: also are you able to restore sms from this backup?
[Android Software Development] razen_kain:
Just want to say thanks to the Dev for this app. I just bought this and online nandroid backup for $1.98. That's a steal dude!

Looking forward to seeing the ability to convert cwm & twrp backups. Idk how you'd ever improve on that. FIVE STARS

It was done on TouchWiz 4.1.2. SMS restored fine from the same Nandroid.
[Android Software Development] H3R3T1C:
I've have trouble with TouchWiz before. Call logs were not stored in the correct database.

I relooked over the report.txt you sent me and it looks like there are two mmssms databases on the device so I'm not sure which one the rom writes to, to save MMS data. Since SMS is restoring correctly I assume its in the default android mmssms database so I've changed the code in the build I'm attaching to only focus on that database. Please try it and let me know if it works.
[Android Software Development] lexluthor:
That seems to have worked. It's a little screwy in some cases where it made just a thread of pictures where the thread shows it's a group message between me and the person I was texting, rather than putting it into the thread with other sms messages with that person. So, for SMS, with that person, it just shows other person's name. Then for the MMS with that person, it shows other person's name and "me". Not that big a deal.

Thanks!

Can't restore apps + data

I made a nanobackup through CWM on my old Samsung S3. I bought a new LG G2 and was trying to restore my games with the levels completed. However Nandroid Manager only restores the app but not the data (I do not have my levels/data). Any ideas?

Examples of some games: Where's my water? Cut the Rope?

I updated to the latest version.

Thanks.
[Android Software Development] H3R3T1C:
After you do a restore of apps+data or just data, reboot the device and see if that makes the restored apps data show up.

This might be a stupid question but I couldn't find any answers or hints: does Nandroid Manager play well with Clockworkmod 4.x? (together with Online Nandroid Backup).

Looks everything went fine - just had no time to do a restore, yet. Just wanted to ask before wiping and restoring everything...
[Android Software Development] H3R3T1C:
I myself have never tested nandroid backups created in CWM v4.x but I assume the format is still the same as CWM v5.x. Open up the nandroid backup you created in Nandroid Manager and do a test restore to see if it works for you. As for CWM 4.x working with Online Nandroid Backup, according to the backup scripts wiki on github it should work with all version of CWM: https://github.com/ameer1234567890/OnlineNandroid/wiki/Supported-Recoveries

Does Nandroid Manager still work fine if I "enable compression" when I make a TWRP backup? If so, will Nandroid Manager be a lot slower since it has to decompress? Does it do the decompression all up front or does it do some sort of on the fly, as needed, decompression?
