Thank you to all who tested. Now start getting your phones ready for the final build.
Themers:
Check Post #2 for a package of app & framework files. A good majority of the apps are from FRF91 Vanilla Android build so if you have packages that already work with that build then most should work here. Please make sure all packages are compatible. Please use the framework-res.apk provided since it is unique to this ROM. It is much different than the OEM Drodi2 packages.
ROM Developers:
Feel free to use this as a base for your own ROM. Please just respect us and give Matt, Drod and myself the proper credit and a link back to the threads.
History:
Being bored one day and sick of Blur with all the extra services I started to rip the ROM apart. Finally getting it as clean as I can and being forced to have a bit of blur I began a search on how to get rid of it all. I ended up on the MotoDev website to see what I can find when I bumped into the D2 SDK. Shockingly it was a plain vanilla build of Android. I thought why not and tried to boot it up. Ii did ( see first video here[/URL] ) with lots of bugs. The screen res as all off and we had no radio or many other hardware functions. On top of that it ran like a turtle stuck in some molasses. I sent a message of my my buddy Matt4542 and our journey began. From there Drod and I hooked up and now we have this. It has been a long rough week getting this sucker to where it is now. It was fun, frustrating and we nearly killed each other a few times but all ended well since we have a great finished project.
We kind of built AOSP ROM by hand. Some may say it is not a true AOSP ROM but it is. There is no difference between this build and a true AOSP ROM besides any tweaks that the developer may add when creating a ROM from source. We had no choice to do it this way since Moto locked us out of the bootloader (for now and next project). Many of the apps are built from source. About 90% of the app folder is built from source. We added some packages from the D2 that are a bit better and required for hardware reasons. There is NO Blur left in the ROM but for a moto-res.apk file that is required by the framework.
What will this ROM do?
It will give you a true Android Vanilla experience much in the same way the Original Droid (OD) did. It is not loaded with bloatware and everything functions as it should. Facebook will sync with your contacts and you will not have all of your memory being used by wasteful stuff on top of much more. Your phone will run more smoothly and feel a lot faster.
What can you do to help?
The most important thing is to provide feedback. When reporting bugs please be clear and with detailed explanation. Do not say this does not work and leave it that. The more feedback you provide will make it easier and quicker for us to kill any bugs. You may also give us a small donation to help with our continuing development of ROM and *POSSIBLY* get this bootlader cracked. It cannot be done with one device. I have a couple of friends who have experience with low level programming of chips and with their help maybe it can get done. They are Blackberry guys and not going to buy a device just for this. This is nothing more than a promise that it will be tried. I cannot say when and IF it can be done so please keep the questions to a minimum about it. If the project takes off then I will have updates. You can donate to the project by clicking HERE.

Sent from my DROID2 using XDA App

I'll be the first to ask - do we need to do all of the wipes if we are upgrading from RC1?

is this the final build?? cause its version 1.0 and are you guys going to provide ota updates?? other than that rom looks AWESOME
Appreciate the hard work guys!

Works great! So much better than the stock D2 ROM.
Cell standby is still an issue

So far so good.
Only two minor things. There is no easy to get to end-call button, which you already know about, and it seems like there is not speech to text support. Not that I really use speech to text, but it could come in handy.
Edit: Nevermind. Might just need to enable it in settings.

Contact Ringtones still don't work
Otherwise, it's gRRRRRRRRReat!

Seems like some bad blood brewing over this ROM on the droidforums page for it. AngDroid/MotoBoy, we all greatly appreciate your work (you too Matt4542! (and anyone else who doesn't get as much time in the lime light!)). As long as you are satisfied with the outcome of the ROM we all appreciate you sharing it with us. Just ignore the lamers that expect you to jump at their every beck and call. It's the first AOSP type ROM for the Droid 2, very first of it's kind for a very locked down phone, which in and of itself is a great accomplishment. If you ever fix anything in Fission, great, if not, I'll continue to look forward to what you develop in the future.
I'm still also curious about your twitter post from the other day, talking about your new Fusion ROM series. Interested to see how that one differs from both stock and Fission.

I am getting the USB problem like I was getting in Beta II. It would connect fine when I first loaded the rom up, and then half the day would pass by and then I can't connect the phone to the computer. Kind of weird. Pretty sure that I can charge from the wall. Just not sure why the USB isn't working.

I wonder if it's something underlying with your phone that's causing that issue. You'd think if it were a common bug you'd see other users complaining about it (as this thread on droid forums is about 8 pages long at this point). Given that it's you, who wrote the tutorials for some of the early D2 stuff, I have no doubt you followed all the steps for installing the ROM. Did you happen to SBF and start stock before going to Fission? I wonder if it could have resulted from flashing over another ROM. Very strange issue though, when I get a good chance to roll my phone up to Fission 1.0 I'll see if I experience the same thing (Thursday is probably a good day to flash, too many phone calls I can't miss between then and now).

Before concluding the phone I would ask if it were happening before this rom. Have you tried any other usb mode to see if it recognizes it? I'm sure you have because you are darkonion...

How is it an issue? If your phone is on for 10 hours and you use cell for 1 hour of course it is going to eat the greatest percentage of battery use. The issue is the time is off now and then.

We tested this on IRC and it is working for everyone who tested.

if ud like a phone apk like this hit me up with a pm and ill send it to u

Does this ROM contain the ability to link contacts?
The reason I ask is because there are a few facebook contacts of mine that do not list their numbers on their profile but I have their numbers in my phone book. And when I installed Fission RC1, Facebook will list them as a contact but will not show them with the profile and with phone numbers I have in my phone. I recall being able to have that ability to link contacts in the stock D2 rom. Is this feature part of the Blur crap?
It really wouldn't even be an issue if the Facebook contacts were not read-only. I'd just add the numbers to their contact information on the phone then... But I can't. Go Facebook.

Go to the contact u want. Hit menu>edit then hit menu>join then u can pick the facebook contact u want to link it to

[APP][1.6+][ROOT] WiFi Pass Recovery & Backup (& Restore) 3.0

Hello android community,
I would like to introduce everybody here WiFi Pass Recovery & Backup, my first own android app.
This application lists alphabetically all wireless passwords stored on your android device.
Do you really wanna know why I created this app? When I have friends visiting me at my home, I need to spell my WiFi password to them letter by letter, and believe me, is not short! And I change my password frequently!
Now I just need to send a SMS or create a QR Code in that moment. See how simple is that:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Later, I thought that it can be very useful to have Backup and Restore options. And why?
Me and some of you like to change some system settings, so is important make backup of WiFi settings before mess with wpa_supplicant files to later restore everything if something goes wrong.
:good: Here is the download link (Google Play): h**ps://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ryanamaral.wifi.passwords
All suggestions/questions are always welcome.
I hope you really like the app like I do!
Best Regards,
Ryan Amaral

Nice!
Really clean and neat app, does the job! Gratz for the developer++

I have the same issue as at least one reviewer on the Play Store, that restoring a backup made on the same device from the same or another ROM completely breaks wifi. Wifi won't even turn on after this app's "restore" operation, it just lists an error state in Settings.
Thankfully, I have a recent nandroid to return to, but this is a major flaw that many users may not be expecting. If there's no workaround, or even a way to "reset" wifi on the device without a nandroid or re-flashing from scratch, this should definitely be listed as a limitation in the Play Store description.
Edit: Apparently, deleting wpa_supplicant.conf gets wifi back working, but obviously without any saved network configurations. This can also be done through the app's "reset wifi" option. At least the backed up passwords are still readable in the backup file (opened as plain text), but no easy way to restore them.
Strangely, the wpa_supplicant file shows as 0.00 bytes in Root Browser, cannot be opened even as plain text, and any file copied to the same directory shows the same traits. I don't know if this behavior is limited to Cyanogenmod, but it seems to be the root of the problem. Maybe there's some sort of weird redirection going on in the OS to another file elsewhere?

Version 3.1 from the Play Store seems to have fixed my issue. There are now 2 restore methods, I chose #2 to be safe & it seemed to work. Initially after restoring, wifi worked but wouldn't connect to any of the restored SSIDs until I clicked on the desired one & chose "connect". I suspect I'll have to do that for each of them individually, but after that, all seems well. Thanks Ryan, this is now one of my "must have" apps.

Wifi is not working now

so what did you do, in order to work your wifi?

Just installed this horrible app and WiFi is not working at all after backing up and restoring. WiFi reset didn't help.
Is there any solution to bring back my WiFi to life?

I have an Huawei P6, with ASOP rom, after install this app and try to restore some wifi passwords it break all my wifi.
To Solve after read here I copy the wpa_suplicant binary in /system/bin/ and wpa_suplicant.conf in /system/etc/wifi and reboot and my wifi is working again.

I have same issue on my Samsung Galaxy S6.. just updated to marshmallow and wanted to restore all my wifi passwords, but wifi doesn't work at all now.
@flamelcanto, can you clarify please what exactly you did? I didn't get what exactly you copied and where..
I tried to delete /data/misc/wifi/wpa_suplicant.conf (with a backup of course), seems it was recreated after reboot, but wifi doesn't turn on anyway.

please fix my wifi.. i cannot even turn on wifi after using the restore function with this app...

Help
i have the same probleme . wifi does not work after restoring using this app , tried deleting\renaming wpa_supplicant and wpa_supplicant.conf but still no luck , i think these files are damaged i need original files to replace in systeme/bin , systeme/etc/wifi and Data/misc/wifi, if someone can send me these files ill be thankful

Just go to system/bin/ and change wpa_suplicant permissions to executable and reboot and it will work.

Hello, Ryan Amaral!
Thanx a lot for your application! :good: But it's suddenly disapire from Google Play :crying:
Would you be so kind as public .apk here for your application's users?

I wonder why this app disappeared. Anyways, since I backed up the app, and if you still need it, here is the apk: https://cl.ly/0H1H0B023b1Y (I hope it is ok with the developer Ryan Amaral to share this link).

Downloads
All features of the app are available for free, without any ads. If this app has been helpful, there's an option to donate via an in-app purchase. This does NOT unlock any new features. Thank you for your support.
Please do not mirror without permission. Link to this thread or play store page if you want to share this app elsewhere. So that users will know where to check for updates and get support from.
_
Important Information
A nandroid/Ti backup is recommended before trying the app.
Some devices/ROMs face a soft reboot when density is changed. There's a test in the app to check this. If density change indeed causes reboot, density is ignored in per-app profiles.
If your screen becomes unusable after setting a resolution, wait for ~15 seconds. It should revert to your default resolution.
If that does not work, reboot -> wait for 2 min (for the service to start) -> reboot again -> wait for service to start.
If that too does not work (I certainly hope that you won't have to do this), issue the following commands in adb shell (using a pc):
For JB 4.3 and above:​
Code:
wm size reset
wm density reset
wm overscan reset
Below JB 4.3:​
Code:
am display-size reset
am display-density reset
Also please note that uninstalling the app won't restore default display settings. So please switch the service off first, if you want to uninstall. Also tell me why you uninstalled it.

Thank you all for the amazing response! 10000 downloads at the end of 1 week! (XDA + bitly link)
Thanks to XDA Portal and Phone Arena, and other tech blogs, for featuring the app. It means a lot, to get this kind of exposure for one of the first apps of mine.
A bit of background
I have a Nexus 4, and it's display started to develop problems a few months back. The nav bar area stopped registering touches at all (though ghost-touches were experienced quite frequently). I managed with pie controls and similar apps for a while. But more recently, this area began to increase, and almost 50% of my screen doesn't respond to touch now. I was looking for a software solution to make the phone usable till I can replace the digitizer and screen of my phone. Then I stumbled upon an adb shell command, wm, which could do a temporary fix for my touch screen issues. I thought I'd make a GUI for the functionality offered by the wm command, and the end result is what you see in this thread.
What Next?
I'm planning to implement per-app profiles, and automatic density calculation for the next major version of the app.
Suggestions are welcome.
Some credits
https://github.com/matrixxun/ProductTour for the initial tutorial/product tour shown in the app.
http://romannurik.github.io/AndroidAssetStudio/ has been of great help as well.
As always, big thanks to the stack overflow community, as well as http://developer.android.com/index.html

It does work in Lollipop. You can see that the screenshots are in fact taken in 5.1 Lollipop.
It should work with M too. I don't have a device to check that right now. Maybe I'll test it out in M emulator as soon as possible.

forgive my ignorance but is this just an easy way to change the (or what was) "ro.sf.lcd_density=XX" in the build.prop or is there something special to this? I realize there's more to it vs the build.prop edit, but it does kinda/sorta the same type of thing? not discrediting the feature...Just curious Thanks again!

Actually, it's an easy way to issue the adb command wm (or am before JB 4.3).
Check this SO question for more details on wm command: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18500611/android-how-to-use-adb-shell-wm-to-simulate-other-devices.
I started building this app because parts of my screen stopped working, actually. Then I thought, it could be useful more generally.

Just switch the service off using the switch in action bar. If your display has somehow become unusable, follow instructions in OP, under the heading "Important Information". If you have uninstalled the app, resetting can be done using the adb commands mentioned there.

First of all, Avast Mobile Security detects your app as suspicious and advises uninstalling it immediately. I hope there are no malwares
Btw, about the app, as soon as I gave it root access, my device hot-rebooted and got stuck in a bootloop. Then I switched it off and restarted it, device started optimizing all the apps (just like after fresh rom install). Everytime I open the app my device reboots
Device - Note 2 N7100
ROM - CM12.1

Um that's bad. Well, you are free to examine the source if there's any doubt. It could be because app requests root, or permission to get to know call state changes, so that when a call comes, display can be adjusted to default resolution (this behavior can be configured in settings).
As for the hot-reboot, I wonder what the problem is... Can you uninstall the app and try issuing these commands directly using adb, and see whether reboot happens then?
Code:
wm size WIDTHxHEIGHT
wm overscan LEFT,TOP,RIGHT,BOTTOM
wm density DENSITY
Replace the Upper caps words with required values.

Hey thanks for that! I'll definitely add this. Meanwhile, there are still some hard-coded strings in the app (like button texts etc), which I'll move to strings.xml, and update the project soon. Will it be asking too much to provide translations for those as well?

REQUIREMENTS:
Be on Nougat already
Root
460 MB Free in /system
DOWNLOADS:
DOWNLOAD: https://mega.nz/#!i0YVnapC!CMTThuT32AdtYequxw421RFVebpMBdW0b6NDZFAKJKc
INSTALLING:
Either open FlashFire or reboot to recovery (if you have a custom one)
Select the zip, and make sure to check 'Mount /system"
Flash, reboot when done (it will clear your cache and dalvik, so first boot after install may take a bit...)
Profit
Once you reboot, your device should ask you to select a 'Home', select Xperia. You can set the keyboard through your settings.
ISSUES:
Cannot set Xperia Home by default, gotta be a Samsung thing... so I had to keep touchwiz installed
Viper4Andoird does not play well with the Sony Libraries (fixing in next version)
Let me know....
THANKS:
Domenic (my boy wonder, my clone, and who it's named after)
My Wife (my heart and soul) who makes my life POP!
My daughter Aly, and my sons Justin and Steven for much needed inspiration

Suggestion: Have no idea if this is possible but maybe include a script to enable apps in the disabler list so we don't have to manually type them all.

Not sure if I said it right but I mean like for example when we install roms In aroma we get a list of apps of which we want to install ... maybe like add that option so we can select which apps we want to include in the rib disabler list

That would be much too huge of a list mate.

Any updates forthcoming for this or the HTC/Blackberry ports you mentioned? It's great to have another custom ROM (or Mod or whatever) for us poor Snapdragon/Locked BL suckers and I'm surprised this hasn't received more attention, considering how few choices we do have on that front. (What, this, Stang5litre's ROM, the now-discontinued-I-think EchoeROM and...that's it?)
I'm running it on the US Cellular G935R4 variant and it seems fine (I've had 935V and 935U firmwares on this phone with no issues in the past, so I didn't anticipate any problems anyway). I did hit one early snag when the installer refused to continue due to lack of space - only around 175mb available in /system out of the required 460-some or whatever it is. Once I went back and deleted enough junk to make room, I was basically good to go.
I have noticed the following (non-major) "issues":
1). The Sony apps are almost all "outdated" and will request you to download updates from the Play Store. No big deal, but figured I'd mention it. By and large the apps update smoothly and without any problems...
2). Except for the Xperia Home launcher itself. The bundled version here is 10.2.A.3.0 and works fine, but is missing features like a pull-up app drawer, so you'll probably want a newer build. The launcher doesn't seem to have a built-in update trigger like the other Sony apps though, so you'll need to search it out yourself - only you'll find that the Play Store doesn't think you have Xperia Home installed. If you try to hit Install anyway, it'll download and fail with a 505 error. Solution? What worked for me was loading Aptoide, where I found "Xperia Arc Launcher" listed in my available updates. No idea what the "Arc" version is or what the difference is - it isn't in the Google Play Store as far as I can tell, and my phone still only lists it as "Xperia Home" - but whatever, this one installs and took me to version 11.2.A.0.3. (FWIW, the version in the Play Store that fails to install seems to actually be a bit older than what I found on Aptoide, and is listed as 11.0.A.0.8)
3). The "Album" app requests an update (which can be ignored). The bundled version of Album is 8.2.A.0.8 and seems to work fine. Following the request within the app takes you to the Play Store and installs v8.6.A.0.4, which - at least on my device - attempts to open but always freezes and force closes. I've tried clearing data/cache before/after updating but get the same result. (The update suggested by Aptoide is the same version, so no luck there this time.)
4). Here's a somewhat bigger issue, but this one might very well be isolated to my device - as in mine personally, not the USCC variant - because....I dunno, just seems screwy. The Xperia keyboard isn't working at all. Version 8.0.A.0.100 is bundled. I can see the Xperia Keyboard listed when I click on Manage Keyboards under input settings, but it's greyed out and unselectable. Play Store updates you to 8.0.A.0.110 but same result. Anyway, what seems weird to me is that the Samsung keyboard (which is the one in use) also appears greyed out, leading me to suspect something screwy on my end. Maybe not, I dunno.

Anyway, these are all tiny quirks at worst, I'm just mentioning them to offer a full report/critique. Otherwise this is neat, and I hope there's more in the future, not just from this project but hopefully it will inspire others and remind them that a locked bootloader doesn't mean we can't do *anything* with these devices. Let's see more FlashFire-capable ROMs/Mods/whatever the hell you want to call 'em!
* ETA: So I got the Xperia Keyboard working by just freezing/disabling the Samsung Keyboard, at which point a dialog from XKB instantly popped up asking to download the English-language dictionary pack and the XKB was now default and working fine. I defrosted the Samsung KB and it seems that the Xperia KB is still active and in control for now at least.

Hey mate, no updates yet. Been real busy with life...
It's the time of year lol i did manage to test some of the blackberry stuff, and it seems to work really well on our device
Some of the HTC stuff is a bit flakey, but I think it's the older versions tho...

[APP][8.0+] [OPEN SOURCE] [ROOT] Neo Backup - Apps and data backup tool for Android.

Neo Backup (formerly OAndBackupX) is a fork of the famous OAndBackup with the aim to bring OAndBackup to 202X and part of Neo Applications suite. For now the app is already fully rewritten, coming up would be making it robust and adding some lengthily planned features which could ease the backup/restore workflow with any device. Therefore all types of contribution are always welcome.
Now on functionality of our App:
It requires root and allows you to backup individual apps and their data.
Both backup and restore of individual programs one at a time and batch backup and restore of multiple programs are supported.
Restoring system apps should be possible without requiring a reboot afterwards.
Backups can be scheduled with no limit on the number of individual schedules and there is the possibility of creating custom lists from the list of installed apps.
And here's the project's FAQ.
Recommendation
A combination with your favourite sync solution (e.g. Syncthing, Nextcloud...) keeping an encrypted copy of your apps and their data on your server or "stable" device could bring a lot of benefits and save you a lot of work while changing ROMs or just cleaning your mobile device.
Community
There's a new room on Matrix and a group on Telegram to discuss the development of the App and test new versions:
Matrix
Telegram
Our Code Of Conduct applies to the communication in the community same as for all contributers.
Encryption
If enabled the data backup will be encrypted with AES 256 based on a password you can set in the settings, which you'll have to use when you want to restore the data. This way you can store your backups more securely, worrying less about their readability.
If you have some kotlin and android knowledge and like to contribute to the project, see our Taiga.io project here to see what is still needed to be done, where a help could be needed or if you'd like to fix one of the issues. Each contribution and communication in the project community should follow our Code Of Conduct

the apk obtained just now from Github and Izzyondroid have the same md5, whereas the one from F-droid seems to be newer ('added on 2020-10-02') and has a different size & md5. is that normal? which is the link recommended to follow for regular official updates?

All are exactly the same.
The fdroid one is newer and different in size and md5 because fdroid builds from the sources directly itself. Look for the versions they will be same.

Please be careful with the 3.2.0 release. There is an upcoming release 4.x that breaks compatibility with the existing backup archives in favor of Storage Access Framework and a new backup directory structure.
Test versions are posted in the Telegram group. Some common backup related issues such as issues with symlinks and pipes are not present anymore in the 4.x release.

Okay, I'm lost, and I'm not easily lost
Really wanted to try this, but we'll....
Trying this for the first time, but cannot fathom it's confusing way of doing things
All I want to do is backup user apps and their data....but no way can I figure how to do it
1st try, set the filter options to display user apps....doesn't do anything ...system apps still shown
Switch to backup tab (once I figured out which one it was) still listing system apps etc
Try selecting all and then changing filter...nope, system apps still shown
Go around in circles for 15 minutes, and then post here
I've used every backup app on Android since the beginning of time, never needed to post asking for help...
What am I missing?
You all could use some documentation at very least
Better labelling or explanation of GUI items needed too
Cheers in advance

@73sydney Labeling the icons was a topic on the chat already… and an issue on github, I think. The UI has been updated, but is still evolving. That's why it's hard to write good documentation without having it outdated after 1 or 2 months again.
Regarding your issues:
You might have missed to confirm the filter with the green button on the bottom (you might have to scroll down in the fragment a bit).
If you want to backup something, just tap on the app and select backup on the bottom of the "AppSheet" that appears then. Or you can do a batch backup if you change the mode to it with the icons that come up when you scroll up a bit (hint: keep pressing a button to get a hint what the button does). I think, there is a high chance, that some of you apps fail to be backed up because of symlinks. Version 4 should be more reliable.
Just give it a try, don't be sad, if it doesn't work perfectly. The development is still very active (removing/replacing legacy stuff, making sure the data is consistent, optimizing the performance etc). Some people tried the new version 4 and reported new bugs and it's known that the UI has some issues because a central structure was replaced and it seems that there are still some combinations of the settings that cause issues.
Maybe it's the right time, to invite some Android experts. Currently the data consistency is a hot topic. To close an app or not to close an app, how is it restarted at the end and how to keep it from restarting during backup? If anyone wants to join, just join via Matrix or Telegram.

Hi, i will never see the chat because i dont believe in installing 3rd party apps just for support for apps listed on XDA
I'll check out github issues though in future
I did tap the confirm button, it seems to do something but then comes back with no apps lin lis resetting to default (paraphrasing as away from device at the moment)
Literally nothing i tried got me all my user apps ticked ready for backup, if youre saying that i have to tick then one by one, then we're going to have an issue friend
So as yet, havent even tried a backup bacause i cant (short of ticking every app, skipping over the systenm and other special items ive asked the filter to hide but it doesnt) select the apps i want to backup...kinda catch22
Look im willing for anyone to piont out where im going wrong and even me made to feel like a numpty, but im a relatively smart guy, i have my full frontal lobe intact and ive managed to figure out every app in Android history until now
I get that youre also in the deep end currently with updating to a v4, so perhaps ill monitor and check back in when the dust settles a bit!
Cheers for the reply

That's a good choice. I like the style how Titanium Backup did the job and I agree, that the current mechanism for filtering is okay'ish.
The Telegram channel has a massive growth at the moment and I'm feeling uncomfortable with the current situation. It was nice that OABX has been featured on the homepage, but I'm personally saying, that the app is just not ready yet and won't meet the expectation. It's more an early access beta than a stable production ready app right now.
See ya later. Thanks for giving it a try!

Hi, appreciate the screenshots
I did try that several times yesterday, to no avail...
Just for you i removed, and reinstalled it just now and tried again, and success, i got just user apps selected and backup running!
Dont ask me to explain why it failed on 1st install, at times like these i like to play the "im just an end user" card
But thanks for taking the time to take the screenshots, it encouraged me to reinstall and give it another go, and if i hadnt i would never
have known the sweet taste of backup victory
edit/update:
Okay got too cocky
It got as far as VLC or 114/124 apps and has been stuck there crashed for 5 minutes
Hehe i got close though
Time to force close and try again...
edit/update #2:
after 4 force closes i got a backup done
on one occassion is atarted to do a backup , then went back to the app list window, with no apps displayed
ill test the restore in a couple of days when i have time

Make sure you keep updating the app from github/izzyondroid for faster access to updates.

Currently testing restore - had to flash a ROM to test something for someone, may as well take the opportunity to try restore
Update:
Restore stalls at 14 packages left, force close time.....
Nope...3 attempts later same issue, althoug at different stage, different package
I suspect that even with battery optimization disabled for app (confirmed), the minute the screen goes out, it kills the restore process.
Im sadly not able to sit rigth now keeping the screen awake while 119 apps restore
I will keep my eye on the project

OAndBackup also system apps + settings?
Is it possible to backup and restore also system apps and their settings, e.g. the "system settings" (with screen resolution, installed screen widgets, app arrangements etc.)?
Titanium can't do it for example...

Hi, you can backup system apps and their data as well as third party apps. Just keep in mind, what I wrote about version 3.2 before.
The settings for your Android system are stored in a database of the system app com.android.providers.settings. If you backup and restore the data followed by a reboot, you might be able to overwrite the current settings database. I don't know, what happens, if you replace the underlying database file on a running system. Not mentioning the catastrophic damage you could do if the database isn't as expected by the provider.
I successfully tested the restore of SMS and call history on the same phone and same ROM. There could be issues, if you mix things up.
What you more likely want is something, that exports all entries and imports them later on restore and this kind of functionality isn't implemented (yet).
Be careful, when you test something out. Bad sytem can break your system. Also be careful, that you only restore the data. Mixing versions of different ROMs/Android versions may have a bad ending.
