How do you guys do backup and restore without root?

This is really annoying.

It's almost 2014 and Android still lags behind iOS in this department.

Hello Google, I love Android and all your services; I've owned five Android devices.

But please improve the upgrade experience for Android users.

Everything needs to be moved to the new device automatically, call log, SMS, game levels, email accounts, and all other app data, everything, just like iOS.

I can root my own phone and do the dirty work for myself, but I can't help my family members, who are thousands of miles away.

I convinced them to switch to Android, and they're all hating me now!

i've got no problems for a bunch of time, but now, i can't install / upgrade apps...

i've got the message saying "Insuficient memory" .... i've double checked, i have plenty of room on all the partitions .. so there shoul be no problems...

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pilcrowpipe:
I got the same error when trying to install an apk via adb. I was using a project based off of android-x86 4.2.2. Tracking down the "Couldn't find..." error in the AOSP source code I found it in the installd program.

In the Android OS source there's frameworks/base/cmds/installd/commands.c

Below is the following code that gives the error. It seems to be looking two directories, one called Android and the other one called data inside /data/media/0/.

if (lookup_media_dir(tmpdir, "Android") == 0
&& lookup_media_dir(tmpdir, "data") == 0) {
//ALOGI("adding cache files from %s\n", tmpdir);
add_cache_files(cache, tmpdir, "cache");
}

The actual lookup_media_dir function is inside utils.c which is in the same folder as the above file.

int lookup_media_dir(char basepath[PATH_MAX], const char *dir)
{
DIR *d;
struct dirent *de;
struct stat s;
char* dirpos = basepath + strlen(basepath);

if ((*(dirpos-1)) != '/') {
*dirpos = '/';
dirpos++;
}

CACHE_NOISY(ALOGI("Looking up %s in %s\n", dir, basepath));
// Verify the path won't extend beyond our buffer, to avoid
// repeated checking later.
if ((dirpos-basepath+strlen(dir)) >= (PATH_MAX-1)) {
ALOGW("Path exceeds limit: %s%s", basepath, dir);
return -1;
}

// First, can we find this directory with the case that is given?
strcpy(dirpos, dir);
if (stat(basepath, &s) >= 0) {
CACHE_NOISY(ALOGI("Found direct: %s\n", basepath));
return 0;
}

// Not found with that case... search through all entries to find
// one that matches regardless of case.
*dirpos = 0;

d = opendir(basepath);
if (d == NULL) {
return -1;
}

while ((de = readdir(d))) {
if (strcasecmp(de->d_name, dir) == 0) {
strcpy(dirpos, de->d_name);
closedir(d);
CACHE_NOISY(ALOGI("Found search: %s\n", basepath));
return 0;
}
}

ALOGW("Couldn't find %s in %s", dir, basepath);
closedir(d);
return -1;
}

It turned out I'd forgotten to uncomment a test I was doing with mounting partitions on boot with fstab and the /data partition that would usually get mounted wasn't. I'm not 100% sure of the details but I think if there's no separate partition setup for /data then Android automatically creates a directory called /data and uses that as an alternative. It seems that when using this "alternative" the error happens because when I removed the comments I did in fstab and when the /data partition was mounted that way I was able to install.

From what I gather /data/media/0 is your sdcard so maybe you can get around it by mounting an external sdcard. Or perhaps just making the directories Android and data would work (I didn't test this though..)
[Moto X General] Coderedpl:
I didn't post this in the Q/A as I think it's rather more of a general discussion topic than a pure question but if it's still believed to belong there please do move it

With that said I've read through multiple threads in regards to how great the phone is and the general feel of it being great but it makes me wonder, those who say it feels great ergonomically and all, do you run a case or naked?

I do have the Griffin case on mine and let's face it. It does feel a bit different but I'm a bit worried about running it pure naked. Seems like it would get damaged way too easily.
[Moto X General] MikeG7265:
I have the dev version, and even though it has the woven design back, I still find it a bit slippery in my hand. I have the Incipio Feather case on mine and absolutely love it. I do miss the dimple on the back with the case on, but it feels much more comfortable in my hand with the case, I don't feel like I'm gonna drop it.
[Moto X General] strictlyphat:
Always naked. What's the purpose of a case?
[Moto X General] ar31791:
I too have the woven black back and found it more slick than expected, but i wouldnt want it too grippy that it would grab in my pocket. This phone is slim and sexy. No reason for a case other than maybe drop protection. Don't drop your phone and keep it naked. :)
[Moto X General] pmp47:
I was running naked but the woven threads of the back started to sneak out of the plastic right along the camera lens. Got a Sup case to fix that.
[Moto X General] rodrigorox:
Well, first because this phone feels really unergonomic for me. It's really slippery and I feel like I'm holding a Dove soap bar. Second because I absolutely loathe scratches. If I see a scratch, I have to go get a new phone, even if it's a cheaper one.
[Moto X General] kent1146:
If you get a thin-enough case, it will not add bulk.

I run a case on mine, because I keep the phone near the shower to listen to podcasts / youtube videos when I shower. The case seals up some of the "seams" around the phone (e.g. power button, volume rocker, SIM card slot). Reduces the potential entry-points for water to get into the device.
[Moto X General] chaoslimits:
I'll get my dev edition tomorrow as well as a diztronic matte case. The back of the Moto X will be lucky to ever see daylight.

GNex was in the same type of case 99% and I don't mind the extra thickness. The guy I sold it to today probably didn't mind that it was flawless :good:
[Moto X General] jayboyyyy:
i went with a case because of drops and the size of the phone. I like the dove bar soap metaphor because thats exactly what its like for me. The phone was always falling out of my hand so i went with a little bit bulkier of a case. I also can't run naked (without beer obviously). I don't drop my phone often, but it is inevitable. When people say just don't drop it, run it naked, for me its like, who intentionally drops their phone. I am not careless but with how often i handle the phone in a day, its going to get dropped at some point over a week. And what happens when that drunk girl gets mad at me late at night because im not paying attention to her, she grabs that phone im playing with and chucks that thing. Don't no body can protect against that. I guess I could get rid of drunk girls, but weighing my options, I'll just strap a case on my phone...
[Moto X General] KNiGHTx4:
I absolutely love the feel of this phone naked and I really don't like the extra bulk of a case. But despite that the only reason I have this phone is because I cracked my Nexus 4 without a case on and rendered it unusable. So yeah I use a case and just try my best to ignore how much worse it feels.
[Moto X General] strictlyphat:
This phone is simply amazing naked. And screw water protection. It has the nano coating inside to protect from water.
[Moto X General] sleepyguy007:
i tend to run a case if i buy the phone new. and if i buy them used i dont. dont know why.

im using the incipio ngp case (i also have the griffin reveal, but i dont like it as much... the plastic feels weird on back).

i am somewhat of a klutz and i noticed i've knocked my phone off things a lot (like elliptical machines, desk at work, nightstand etc) so want to protect this guy this time haha.

[Moto X General] jedah:
Anybody have a customized X from Moto-maker? Would seem like a shame to cover up. I usually apply a clear skin (like a full body screen protector), but I have a feeling it won't look so good w/ the soft touch back. Wonder what others are doing to protect the custom versions.
[Moto X General] goducks3620:
hate to ask about bad experiences...but I'm considering this phone and wondering if any of you have dropped yours on a hard surface "naked" and been OK. I hate cases and I have dropped my current phone a few times on tile, even concrete, and survived alright. wondering if the X would last as well.
[Moto X General] theraffman:
I run neked... I love the shape of the phone and it would be a shame to hide my custom moto x. I do have an extreme guard body wrap, just to add a little protection.

This is the first phone I ever felt comfortable running naked... The few times I ran my sgs3 alabuff, it would slip out of my hands. I don't think this phone has even come close to falling, it just sits so nicely in my hands.

[Moto X General] thedosbox:
I've dropped mine on a hardwood floor without ill effect (it landed front side up).

I would not expect it to survive on concrete as that tends to have a rough surface, increasing the chances of scratches.
[Moto X General] magicriggs:
I put a screen protector and that's it.
[Moto X General] pdt816:
I read a lot of ebooks on my phone and usually prefer having the bulk a case provides.

Always ran with an Otterbox Defender on past phones, sporting a Commuter series on the Moto X because the young lady at AT&T gave it to me when I bought the phone. Miss the grip of the Defender but pretty happy so far in general.
[Moto X General] jedah:
How do you like the extreme guard? I was thinking of getting it to, but am not sure how the plastic would look or feel on the matte back (blue).
[Moto X General] theraffman:
I'm liking it, keep in mind, I never liked screen protectors... I love the feel of glass. But after a few days, I couldn't remember if glass was better or not. The back wrap adds a bit if grip, which is welcomed when running naked.

Overall, I am very pleased, it feels nice, had held up very well for over a month and gives me a little peace of mind. I always put stuff in my pockets with my phone... Keys, change, screwdrivers/tools, screws/nuts/bolts etc.. And barely a nick and only noticeable if you look. I bought 5 sets and still am on my first.

[Moto X General] gusbeto37:
I've run naked since my first android phone. I've tried cases on the past but I've found them more cumbersome than helpful. I also have never really damaged a phone besides a few scratches on the outside (not screen).
[Moto X General] dnorthington:
I hate cases for the most part but use the hybrid bumper as a compromise. Close to naked, but pretty good protection.

Hey guys,

we dont really need a custom recovery to make and restore nandroid backups, those can be done online with the device on. (unless seandroid blocks the process... dunno yet)

And you can create custom odin tars with such backups giving you a way to restore em too.

But for that we / I need to know the partition layout of the galaxy note 3.

How can I find it out? (pretty noob question, soooorry)

I dont think online nandroid backup supports the n3 yet. so maybe we can speed that up a lil by creating a working script for it - but need to know the partition layout off course.

Just look at vold.fstab or is there some easier way? Sorry if this was already answered i didnt find it in my (quick) search.

Could someone kindly explain in terms that a complete idiot would understand, How do I get this Rom back onto a Device?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] gooroo:
I imagine you would use the same program as is used to load new ROM's, I would be very carefull about doing this with your ROM dump though, if the file format is not the same it will either refuse to flash or worse still kill your Universal, If you download the ROM file for your universal from your provider just compare it with your dumped file, I would be very suprised if it was the same.

Also, forgive me asking this, but you dont think you HAVE to put it back because you dumped it do you? Nah, you already know that by dumping your ROM all you did was take a COPY of it, don't you?

After all, why would you want to flash the same ROM to your Universal as it already has, unless you want the dump to fall back to if another ROM you are about to try might fail?

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Lucky75:
From the reviews it doesn't look to work well any more though. And is it completely separate? i.e. Can IT remote wipe my device, or would they just be remote wiping touchdown data if they try? And what about lockscreen passwords, etc?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] TheDickster:
Part of it depends on how your company is setting it up. Lockscreen passwords wouldn't matter at all. Most likely remote wipe would still do the whole device, especially if they are just using ActiveSync to administer all of it. All of this is part of why Samsung is building up SAFE and KNOX and why companies are starting to employ mobile device management tools like XenMobile, Good, AirWatch, etc.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stewartsoda:
I'm pretty sure it only wipes the Touchdown app because I don't recall it setting itself up as a device administrator last I looked at it. It's a whole lot less integrated than the stock email/contact/calendar apps, but it's a solution. It has its own lockscreen.

In the 4 years that I've used Activesync at work I've never had nor heard of anyone having their device remotely wiped. YMMV.
