It can only be used on the same phone, no online operations, and the MyToolbox features are only available on the Pro version. Also, only Root phones can run MyBackup Root

Here is the description of MyToolbox

This application will allow Root users to multi-select applications and perform the following functions with 0-click batch bulk operations!

- Freeze any app (bloatware also)

- UnFreeze a frozen application

- Wipe Cache of applications

- Wipe Data of applications

- Uninstall applications

- Break the Android Market Link to an App

- Link an App to the Android Market

- Force Close any application

Why purchase an application that only does Freeze, when you can get MyToolbox which does so much more than only Freeze bloatware.

Unlink an application from the Android Market so that you are not bothered to update the version.

Link an application that you installed to the Android Market, so that you CAN get update notifications.

Clear the data or cache of an application if it is giving you problems, or if you want to reset the data in it.

Uninstall any applications you want, all in 1 click batch operation, no going through 1 by 1 anymore.

Force close applications that you want stopped, or reset.

All these functions can be done on any number of applications at one time, without having to individually go through each one by one (0-Click batch operations on multiple apps).

If you use MyBackup Root or Pro, you will love this application. With both of these applications, you will have total control of your Android device!

when restoring does MyBackup Root restore to previously installed location? like does it remember what apps you had Apps2SD? thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] rogcontact:
Yes, this should work as expected
[Android Apps and Games] narflynn619:
thanks for the reply mate, but I'm only after the Backup feature.. I just can't let go of Titanium Backup Pro. :p

Thanks much!

Please help us let people know about the free MyBackup Root. Most people are not aware of the abilities it gives Root users and all for free.

Hi all,

Curious to know if anyone knows the answer to this...

When I restored my backups, I can't see them in the Android Market anymore. Would this affect me getting updates to those apps via the Android Market?
[Android Apps and Games] rogcontact:
If you created the backup when you had root access, and restored it to a phone with root access, the market links will be in place, and they will show as Install\Purchase in the Android Market.

If you did one or the other (backup or restore) without root access, then they may not show. The Android Market will only know about apps downloaded and installed directly from it. There is a great free app called aTrackDog that will track versions of all your apps, regardless where they are installed from.

Some users have reported this to work with non-rooted phones: http://www.loganbibby.com/2011/04/sync-installed-apps-with-android-market/
[Android Apps and Games] xxjabberwockxx:
Thank you, rogcontact. I should be rooted. I do see that SuperUser granted permission to the app, but when I did my backups, it said that the market link was not found (on all the apps). Just to verify, I did go to Market and can see all my apps on the list. Not sure if it matters, but my market got updated to the new one (blech!) with the books and movies links over the weekend. I did just go from a fresh install (reset the phone to factory defaults then manually installed each app) before running the backup. Oh well.

I've downloaded the aTrackDog and that'll be my next test tonight. Thank you for the reply!
[Android Apps and Games] rogcontact:
The new Android Market should be supported by our app. If you could please contact out support team at support@rerware.com they will work with you to get this issue resolved!
[Android Apps and Games] xxjabberwockxx:
Will do. Thank you. The aTrackDog works well so it's not a showstopper for me. Thank you once again!

It seems I'm not alone with my problem. There goes:
[Android Apps and Games] JVogler:
Anyone else here ever tried to restore any data with MyBackup Root? I've never had a successful restore of anything using it. Everytime I've restored something...it messed up to the point of having to factory reset each time. I've spent about the last week (Yes WEEK) slowly restoring things manually that were backed up with MyBackup Root...and I'm not even close to done yet.

I used Titanium BackUp for all Apps / App Data....and MyBackup Root for System Settings, etc.

When it restored SMS / MMS it restored every single message with a date of June 5, 1967 or something about 50 years ago...and they could not be deleted except with factory reset. Next, I tried to restore my calendars. Something very important for my work. I have at least 1,000 events accross 10 different calendars. It took a while to restore as expected. When it was all done, I shocked to see every single event, even my confidential work / client events had been restored to my personal default android calendar, which then synced to Google, and is then PUBLIC!!! So I ended up with ALL my clients private info, Public for a while before I noticed. I'm still going through calendar entries manually seperating them back to the calendars they came from.

Anyone else have any experience like this? A solution? I really need a reliable backup option. Not sure if there are settings I missed in the backup procedure, or restore procedure?
[Android Apps and Games] rogcontact:
We want to thank everyone for their support.

Some good news, MyBackup Root now ships with all VirusROMs pre-loaded.

If there are any ROM cooks that want to put MyBackup Root pre-loaded into their ROMs, we are willing to pay upwards of $1000. Shoot us an email at support@rerware.com
[Android Apps and Games] JVogler:
Have you heard any reports like my above post. I really the easy UI of MyBackup Root...and would like to use it. Are multiple calendars not supported...or did I get a bad backup or restore somehow maybe?

thanks for any ideas/help...
[Android Apps and Games] rogcontact:
It sounds like you were using Gmail sync with these accounts, if that is the case, let Gmail sync return the Calendar entries, using both sync and ANY backup application could cause conflicts.
[Android Apps and Games] JVogler:
Yes, Gmail sync only syncs the past 30 days. I need access to at least the last year for work on my phone...which is why I needed backup/restore option beyond gmail sync. It backed up every event fine, just no option to return them their respective calendars....it just put them all in one. I can manually export each calendar as an .ics, then manually restore each one, now that I know...but would be nice to be an option when restoring them to return them to previous calendar or something like that.
[Android Apps and Games] mikbe:
There was nothing wrong with MBP. Changing to old Market and back fixed my problem. :)
[Android Apps and Games] MrWicket:
when restoring apps does it overwrite an app if already installed? for example, when I sign into my gmail account when setting up the phone after a restore or new ROM flash and I have the option(s) to backup and restore data checked it will start to restore the things Google does backup/sync like my WiFi, bookmarks and applications (w/o app data obviously..) etc. so my question is when I run MyBackup Root and restore my applications does it re-restore/install an app over itself or just skip it because it's smart enough to detect the APK is already installed?
[Android Apps and Games] rogcontact:
You can chose to not select any applications you do not want to install. But, if you restore the Data+APK, it will place the app, the data, and the market link (if it was there when backed up) back onto the device.
[Android Apps and Games] MrWicket:
thanks! that makes sense, I just have to take note of which ones already restored. I've always done the APK+Data so that must be why I never saw the option to chose which ones to reinstall. :)
[Android Apps and Games] rogcontact:
Please note that you can click on the Applications item in the list to expand it to see individual apps to select from.

The backup must have also been created with Root access, and the Market Links must have also been backed up.

Question about MyToolbox portion of MyBackup Pro

I purchased MyBackup Pro in October of 2010 and wasn't rooted at the time. I have since rooted my phone, and MyBackup Pro recognizes this (at least I guess it does, it receives superuser privileges anyhow). However, when I go to MyToolbox, I don't have all the options. I seem to be missing the Link to Market, Unlink to market, Uninstall, and Force Close options. All I have is Freeze, Unfreeze, Wipe Cache and Wipe Data. I was wondering if perhaps I'm missing something somewhere or something. When I go to the market, I see the MyToolbox app available for purchase, but I thought that as a Pro Root user, I was supposed to have it already. Can anybody help?

Thanks!

Captivate, rooted, stock Froyo
[Android Apps and Games] grandmoo:
Never mind, I totally didn't realize I needed to swipe through my options at the top of the page. It's all good now, sorry.
[Android Apps and Games] rogcontact:
Great!

Yea, the list at the top is scrollable to the right.
[Android Apps and Games] _phoenix:
I made a backup under froyo before upgrading my droid 2 to gingerbread. It prompted me to buy the pro version when I managed to do a restore under gingerbread.

RerWare Support suggested that something was blocking the program to access the phone's IMEI/MEID, but I was on the stock ROMs before of after upgrading, just rooted.

I feel my data was kidnapped by the program. :mad:
[Android Apps and Games] MrWicket:
did you lose root? that would mess up the restore and want you to buy pro.
[Android Apps and Games] _phoenix:
I am sure I am rooted.
[Android Apps and Games] webwude:
How about uninstall and re-install My Backup Root. Besides that, after starting the app, I have the option of "by pro", "buy mytoolbox" and "Ok". With "Ok", i can use the app as usual...

I am very sure, that the app is working as I am using it everytime after a firmware change...

Kind regards,

[Android Apps and Games] thapap55:
I tried this app to backup and restore 3 games for my phone before doing this for everything.2 of them seem to work ok but 1 of them gives me force close(angry birds rio)

EDIT: nvm fixed it
[Android Apps and Games] _phoenix:
Uninstall and re-install doesn't work for me. I have those options either. With "Ok" I can get into the app but once I do restore or view, it asks me to buy the pro.

New backup and restore work well. It just doesn't work with the backup I made under froyo.
[Android Apps and Games] webwude:
Then only the developer can hopefully help you - honestly my change from froyo to gb is quite same time ago - I at least know, it initially worked as I still have all my messages and phone records from that time.

Kind regards,

[Android Apps and Games] x0149128:
I've got a problem with this program.

I backed up all my apps and data. Installed a new rom, then restored the apps.

The problem is, all my apps require me to sign in again, so obviously it didn't restore that. In apps like speedtest.net, all my previous results are missing. All my speed dials in Dolphin browser and saved passwords are also missing.

Surely backing up APK+Data and then restoring this should keep all my app data?
[Android Apps and Games] hoskic:
very han dy, thnx
[Android Apps and Games] MrWicket:
problem I have is it doesn't restore to previous installed location.. I have way more apps than phone memory and it would be nice if it would restore to previously installed location (internal memory or SD). so when I restore it says it completes but then I'm missing tons of apps because it runs out of space to restore too. still an awesome app though. I've just started to only backup the apps I need to save the data for as others just restore when I sign in with my Google account.
[Android Apps and Games] VDub2174:
So I updated my HTC Flyer to HC rls3 yesterday and noticed that MyBackup Pro doesn't work anymore, it just keeps FCing. I was wondering if there was gonna be an update for HC.
[Android Apps and Games] orcking:
Hi There:

I am one of the developers.

In order to restore back to SD, you need to check the options "Use pm binaries" and busy box.

If the app was on the SDCard then it will be restored there

Hope this helps

I'm having trouble restoring my applications. I can restore everything (contacts, messages, photos, app data) except the actual applications themselves. I get the error:

": I/O error: Unable to write to SD card. Make sure the SD card is inserted properly, is not connect to your PC, and is not full."

The SD card has plenty of space and is fine, and there is no USB connection.

[Android Apps and Games] Zlappy:
well that's a bummer :-(
[Android Apps and Games] exempli_gratia:
I get the Market DB Links errors (on Backup and Restore), but seems to work fine anyway. So is this just a false error?

I've tried removing a couple apps I had backed up. Confirmed they were gone from the Store. Restored from a purposefully old backup. The Store sees the apps, and shows they have upgrades waiting.

On gNex, AOKP 29.
[Android Apps and Games] mikbe:
My backup didn't include any data even though I selected Apk+data. Had to configure everything from scratch. :(
[Android Apps and Games] hackel:
Incorrectly detecting new device

I've used MyBackup Root several times in the past and it worked great. This time, I backed up all my data and apps when changing from a GB to ICS ROM, and now when I try to view or restore my backup sets, it says "In this version you can only restore/view/manage what you have backed up from this device. To restore/view/manage backups from other devices, please upgrade to the Pro version." This is very disappointing. Obviously it is the same device, but it must be reporting it differently in ICS somehow.

Anyone know of a way around this? Of course I can simply install the apk files from the rerware directory on my SD card, but when I attempted to manually extract the data for one app, even after setting the correct permissions and uid/gid, the app is not recognising the old data.

I'm worried that the only solution will be to restore my previous nandroid backup, back things up using Titanium or another product, and then go back to restore, which seems like an annoying amount of effort. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] VDub2174:
What does the ROM give as the model on your phone?
[Android Apps and Games] hackel:
It says "HTC Glacier". Might my previous ROM have given a different model, like "MyTouch 4G" or something? I don't honestly remember what it said before, as I never gave it a second thought. I changed from Virtuous Unity to Zips Creamed Glacier, if that's helpful.

I pulled the .mdb file from the backup set, and in the internal_settings table field 9 is also "HTC Glacier," which would lead me to believe that's not the problem, but I have no clue what the format of this file is supposed to be.

I compared the build.prop files between the ROMs and discovered that it changes from

ro.product.model=HTC Glacier

ro.product.brand=htc_wwe

ro.product.name=htc_glacier

to this:

ro.product.model=HTC Glacier

ro.product.brand=generic

ro.product.name=full_glacier

I noticed that the .mdb files are named either after my IMEI or my MAC address, but I can't tell why it would be one vs. the other. Neither of these have changed either. Very frustrating!
[Android Apps and Games] VDub2174:
That's odd. I wish I could say it has something to do with the GB to ICS conversion but I'm not 100% sure. I don't even remember if I restored my apps on my E4GT when I made the switch.
[Android Apps and Games] baySF:
i went to backup my data + app + apk or whatever so i can delete everything on my sd card to clean it up and when i went to restore everything all it said was "could not open market db" or whatever it says and alot of my data and apps couldnt be restored and that there was no market link to them. so i lost everything and now i wanna throw my phone at a wall.

i backed up everything to my computer after making the backups before deleting my sd card so everything that was on my sd card including the backup i made on MBRoot was on my computer before i deleted my sd card.

Mybackup Root and Pro questions

Root: When backing up my apps + data, it displays "Mybackup Root has been granted superuser permissions" before backing up almost every app. Since this probably increases the time it takes to backup, is this a problem with my rom, my setup, or the app?

Pro: I bought and tried to use Pro but it kept locking up the phone when it asked for my email address and password and I tried to enter them. I did not have time to determine what the problem was so refunded. Is there a solution to this?
[Android Apps and Games] nishyt:
Would have been almost perfect if I didn't run into market link errors, but at least it restored the data for the apps without trouble ;)
[Android Apps and Games] VDub2174:
It tells me that MyBackup has Superuser permissions after every app too but I don't pay it any mind. I just let it do it's thing.

As for pro, is your phone plugged into the charger when it freezes? I noticed mine only freezes when it's charging.

Would it be possible to forward text messages to the gtab from my phone. Also would like to respond with my grab. Not sure how this would be done but it would be cool. Could be done through Bluetooth or just a good internet connection.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Sprdtyf350:
Google Voice is what I use. Works good.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] shdwknt:
How do you use text on google voice..

and how does it appear on the device?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Sprdtyf350:
You load the Google voice app from the market. You need to setup a Google voice account also. You enter the phone numbers you want to associate with it. It will also give you a Google phone number. Then you setup Google voice on your device and when it asks for the phone number use one that is associated with your google voice account. People use the google voice phone number to send you texts. And when you send them they show on peoples devices as coming from your Google number. I just had my daughters add my Google number to my contact info in there phones. The last part in the setup about voicemail you can just skip. Only going to send texts from your tablet..

It appears as a big inbox. You get notifications in the top bar when someone sends you something. You can also reply from Gmail. I have an SMS folder I setup in Gmail that I can reply from also.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] debh945:
Sorry to revive an old thread but is there any way to forward incoming sms messages from your cell number (not GV number) to your GV account so you can read them on the Gtab? I don't want all my contacts to have to change the number they send texts to for me. I tried to set it up but none of the sms messages were forwarded to my GV account. I think they are probably in an infinite loop in cyberspace!
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] wordweaver27:
Google just made number porting available. See here: http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2011/01/google-voice-number-porting.html
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] debh945:
I saw that last week but also saw my carrier will charge an ETF if I port my number over to GV. I'm not going to pay $200 just to read my text messages on my Gtab. It was just more of a convenience question as the screen is larger.

What I did and it worked for a couple of hours was create another GMail Account and downloaded an app from the market that forwarded my SMS messages to the Gmail account. It worked until Android killed it. I restarted the app and then I didn't receive any more text messages on my phone or in the Gmail account. I uninstalled the app, restarted the phone, and about 30 SMS messages all came through at once.

In theory this works if you can find a decent SMS forwarding app that can run in the background without being zapped and doesn't screw up your messaging app. I only tried one but may try others tomorrow.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] dragonfly1113:
may want to look for "sms forwarder" in the android market. not sure if that does what you want but it sounds like it does.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] debh945:
Yeah, that's the exact one I used and it was hit or miss. I haven't tried any of the paid apps to see if I get better results.
[HD7 General] Rouz.:
Don't get me wrong! I'm not talking about the fancy Manila/Touchflou on the Homescreen. I know there won't be any custom homescreens on wp7.

but If you all remember, sense was not only about the homescreen. The other feature of sense was to "bring everything at one place".

For example, the htc messaging that lets you see all the contacts information (info, updates, messages, e-mails, etc) in one application. Now thats a feature that i miss on wp7

I think that would be more useful than the fancy htc-hub application that can be used for weather forcast only...

I'd like to hear your Ideas. Please share. thanks
[HD7 General] L337Ware:
I don't really see a place for sense on WP7. I just think MS needs to buff up the people tile to draw together more like emails and text from contacts.
