Question: I am a newbie to ANDROID world, I like to 'root' my EVO, and like to know what will happening to my 'contacts' and other 'staff' I have on the phone?
What are the benefit of 'rooting' the EVO?
When you root your phone, you are your own Administrator, versus having an unrooted phone, and just being a guest on the phone. A rooted phone will allow you to flash custom roms, themes, can tether your phone to a pc or a gaming system, can backup your phone and restore. You will/should have a better performing phone, with the battery lasting a little longer. Endless list of things you can do. Do some reading, you should start here and just go from there.
When you first powered the EVO, you had to sign in to google using a gmail account. This account that you created automatically stores your contacts on an offshore account (google) so that it will allow you to use the internal phone storage for other things, like apps. When you do root and flash a rom, you are supposed to do a data wipe/factory reset to ensure a clean flash for the particular rom of your choosing. After flashing a rom, you have to reboot, and have to sign into the google gmail account to retrieve your contacts.

Hello. This is my first post and I have my Sensation not even a full week. Needed to get that out there. As I have already rooted and flashed my Sensations rom, filled it with apps and configured it to my liking, I can not use HTC Sync to sync my Sensations contacts, data, events, settings, configuration and all other available syncable data with my PC.
I've searched the forum for a while and that gave me no clear answer in what PC syncing software I should put my trust in. Or which one for us Android users is the most feature friendly. On my old phone I used MyPhoneExplorer. It kind of did it's job and kind of didn't.
So, I'll be straight and ask you guys.
What, in your opinion, is the best piece of software which I can use to sync my Sensation fully with my PC?
Oh, and is there any good way to sync my androids configuration, apps and files woth my pc so if I change something and get lost, I can restore the settings without loosing any apps? I know that titanium Backup does it but haven't yet gotten to fully test that.
Hey everyone,
I want to be able to extract my Google and Email accounts from my Root Directory but I don't know where to look. I have an Evo 3D and I'm still debating whether to go Stock, Jelly Bean, MIUI etc. I'm a little bit crazy about flashing, and I can't stand not flashing the data and system partition if I'm going to a completely different ROM. I've made an Aroma installer for the essential apps I or a lot of people might install on a fresh install... PS, it's on my dropbox and I have a description logo and credits list too (I just don't know what the rules are for posting yet).
BUT, one thing that still irks me is not being able to keep my account data. I have a school email, my personal email, and then two Google Accounts, so if I could make a utility to just flash these things it would be a miracle... and then I could get to work on adding in social network and skype/kik/instagram account data too. Heck, if I can make this thing universally applicable with a command line or java applet I'd love to share it.
Does anyone know a start on what directories I'd look in? I'm anxious to do this :3
Bump this up I need to know this ^^^
Nandroid data backup keeps saying unable to completely restore data. I want to extract the data tar of my nandroid and place the correct data to restore all my signed on Google accounts to restore all the previous signed in accounts.
I'm currently running Android 6.0 DP3 on my Nexus 5 and have to perform a clean flash due to battery drain issues. However, this will make me go through the whole backup and re-setup process again - backup images, backup Whatsapp, backup all documents and download, flash the phone, restore everything, log into the different apps, set up Gmail accounts etc. Obviously, I'm not looking forward to that it's basically also the reason which has kept me from trying different ROMs on my phone in the past. I know that there is Titanium Backup just for that job, but it needs root access and I can't root my phone because this will trigger the "phone isn't secure"-alarm of my bank's super cautious TAN app which will stop it from working (just like using Tasker does, which obviously sucks).
So I am looking for a way to backup my phone's data, apps and app data without having to root the phone. Is there any possibility for that?
easy way just plug it in usb to u pc copy all u stuff to drive on u pc and long u have u gmail loged in u contacts ect sync u should not lose anything fresh install set u new settings copy u images music ect back through usb and done and cleaned same time
Yeah, that works, of course - but won't save me the hassle-full process of restoring the latest Whatsapp backup, manually copying all files, logging into my apps and downloading 20 GB of Play Music All Access offline music.
Hi All,
What is the best app or way to backup and restore everything on Android phone - similar to the easy way iOS have with having the phone automatically maintain an iCloud security backup and then if getting a new device or factory resetting the current device, then simply restore the iPad or iPhone using the online iCloud security backup - nice and easy with all apps, settings, data, pictures, etc.
I never owned an iOS device myself, always been on Android, but every time I got a new phone or simply wanted to factory reset and create a fresh phone again, then I did all the apps installations manually and went in manually to configure email account, calendar and other personal settings and logins for each apps that I have, fingerprints etc.
How can I make this easy and in the best way to save days of time to configure a brand-new phone from scratch - like iCloud security backup does or like a Windows PC can have a mirror image created to restore everything back to how I want to start from?
Many thanks in advance!
Very often phone manufacturers provide an application to transfer everything from another device to a new one.
For example, the app from Samsung is:
Samsung Smart Switch Mobile - Apps on Google Play
If you can't download, you can open Smart Switch from device's Settings menu
play.google.com
I need to know is there any way/app/program that I can back up ALL of my stuff on my Motorola g6 Play, without having to specifically use google or my google acct in any way, so I can transfer to my new Motorola G Power...
Backstory & Details quick history...
Jan 2022 my google acct was hacked. Google never sent me notification until after they had already changed my recovery info & put 2-factor, etc. I have tried EVERY thing I've came across to possibly work, to no avail. Google made it very clear they care less if ppl w/an acct 10+ years, who can verify every single detail abbout their acct, get hacked or not, even when there is online visa card $ sitting in the email folders. In fact they roll out the red carpet for the foreigner hackers (apparently wasnt too pro because the hacker forgot to sign me out of all browsers. I jumped on my 2nd pc browser, accessed acct for a few minutes including have a screenshot of what they used as a verification phone, in isreal, the recovery email they changed it to, & more. However when I tried to change my recovery info back, it wanted my new password. About 3 hours later they realized & logged me out.) & dont care to let you into your acct. [sorry for rant - touchy subject, lol]
I never put another google acct on the phone, I just cant sign in my google anywhere. My data is apparently saved locally, because its still on phone just as always.
I just got a new motorola g power for Christmas. Of course since I still havent regained access to my original acct, I know I'll have to use another acct to set it up. HOWEVER, I desperately need to save/transfer all my data from my current phone (with the non-accessible hacked acct) to new one. Obviously cant backup to anything that makes me login my acct such as my google drive, etc.
Is there ANY program or app that would backup everything, & then let me restore it on my new phone w/new google acct???

Without root and an external SD card....no. Apps such as Swift Backup or TItanium Backup can back up all user apps, but because of SELinux and scoped storage, what data a particular app can access is very limited - only certain system data (call logs, texts, etc) and common data (internal/external storage) is accessible; an app cannot access other apps' private information.
The only way to get around this is root.
However, you may be able to login to a new Google account on your existing phone, log out of the old one, and set the new account to be used for sync; once your information is backed up to the new account, you can then login on the new device, and transfer most of your data.
Keep in mind that this still won't transfer app data - while it will restore the apps you have installed, it can't transfer app data from the old phone.
