[MOD/TOOL] FlashBack - Flashable Backups - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

This is a simple tool that will make a flashable backup of your apps.
It only backs up the apps no data, yet. There are alot of ways to do this but this one actually makes a flashable zip file and puts it on you sdcard.
Just flash FlashBack-Installer.zip and open up terminal and type
su
Then type
apps
Run the backup (It takes a minute before it starts going)
Then flash your new rom or whatever and right after flash FlashBack.zip to restore your apps.
Saves alot of time for people who do alot of flashing like me. And this should work with most devices if not all of them. It uses busybox to mount the drives in the updater-script files.
I will be adding more to this so post any ideas or feedback you have.

This works awesome, I know there are other things out there for this but this is so much easier. Thanks for the release man.

Sorry about the double post but works on My Touch 4G (Official MIUI TDJ Release).

This is awesome thank you so much!
Can't wait to see if app's data can be backed up

I got a message that said CD: NOT FOUND like right away. No delay after starting it.
It created a .zip file, but nothing was in it.
Am I doing something wrong?

Ya this is very useful and fast. When data can be backed up titanium will sit to the side

It works now in conjunction with titanium. Titanium works quickly to restore data.
If this thing puts the apps back, titanium can restore the data much easier than it is to restore the apps with titanium.

[Data Backup and Restore] Backup and Restore /data just like Bonsai

First I'd like to thank the Bonsai team (Mammon88 and Randy_T) for their work.
This little set of files is totally based on their work, I just modified it a bit.
I asked permission before releasing this, and I've left the GPL notices intact.
All changes can be seen by inspecting the files in the zip.
Thank you Team Bonsai!
:[Disclaimer]:
You assume all risks in using these files. Not me, you!
I will attempt to help if anything goes wrong.
But don't try blaming me for something you chose to do.
:[Description]:
There are two ClockworkMod zips, I'll break it down for each file.
ncDataBackup.zip:
This file simply backs up the /data folder to a gzip file on your SD card (exactly like the Bonsai Rom does).
The only difference is that it will store the file in a different folder and file name on your SD card.
The file is stored @ /sdcard/data-backup/backup-data.cpio.gz​
ncDataRestore.zip:
This file first deletes everything in the /data folder.
I figured this would be best so there are no conflicts with files that are already in the /data folder.
[NOTE]:: This also means that if the Rom your are using installs anything into the /data folder, it will be lost during the restore!
Then it simply restores the /data folder from the aforementioned backup file (exactly like the Bonsai Rom does).​
:[Purpose]:
I made this so I never have to setup a home screen again (or loose mms history, call logs, etc)!
For people who are using Roms that don't already preform a backup and restore of the files in /data.
And as an alternative to a bit for bit nandroid backup / restore of the /data partition.
:[Disadvantages]:
As stated, the restore will delete everything in the /data folder before performing the restore.
So anything put there by the Rom you are installing will be lost!
I wouldn't Expect this to work coming from or going to CyanogenMod, but feel free to test for me.
:[Benefits]:
Restores home screens, mms history, call logs, etc...
Can be used whenever for whatever reason (always good to have more options for backup / restore IMO).
:[Usage]:
Boot into ClockworkMod.
ALWAYS DO A NORMAL NANDROID BACKUP WITH CLOCKWORKMOD.
Install the ncDataBackup.zip, it will preform the data backup.
Install your favorite Rom.
Install the ncDataRestore.zip, it will preform the data restore.
Reboot the phone.​
:[Testing]:
This has been tested while running Bonsai v2.0.1.
This has also been tested coming from Bonsai v2.0.1 going to Quantum v2.7.
I only had one FC (gmail) when going to Quantum from Bonsai, and that's because Quantum's gmail wasn't updated.
I simply cleared gmail's data and cache and all was well (then I updated gmail through the market).
[NOTE]:: Both of these Roms are DK28 builds and support EXT4! Your mileage may vary!
:[Feedback]:
Please post your results, good or bad, I'd like to know how well this works for other Roms.
I'm thinking of making a backup/restore zip generator program so this method can be used for other phones.
So if you try this please post your results.
:[Changelog]:
[03-05-2011]
Upgraded files to Bonsai 3.x.
Now uses an included busybox, this should allow support for more Roms/devices(?).
Zip file names have changed.
Also changes have been made to the script output.
Tested on Bonsai 3.x

Thanks for this! I had my phone freak out on boot up during the zipalign process, which pretty much killed my /data directory. I had just installed Bonsai 3 the other night and realized the backup it made was not the normal CWM img backup! With your zip I was able to restore the gzip that bonsai 3 created to my phone.
Perhaps there were other built in ways to do the restore but your zips took care of my problem!
Great work!

Those having problems...
The backup / restore process was altered just a bit with the release of Bonsai 3.0.0.
I mentioned an update to these files yesterday, I'm going to work on that now and get it finished.
I'm not saying that the new changes will fix the problems, but there's a chance.
BBL with the update.

Updated, check OP.
Those who are freezing at the bootscreen, please report back if you test this.
-ps these files clear out davlik-cache, so the 1st boot after a restore will take a while (but should not freeze @ the samsungmobile screen).

Ok, makes sense. Curious, what does Bonsai do that keeps the apps on SD synced with the OS that this tool does not?
And thanks again for this. It has saved my bacon a number of times.

I would be curious as well, only thing i can think of is when Bonsai runs it does not wipe data, if you install a rom that wipes data before install it will wipeout .andriodsecure on the sd card.

[Q] Restoring Text Messages, am I missing something?

So i've been using Nandroid Browser app to save my text message files from my Cwm backups, mmssms.db and telephony.db and then pushing them to the com.android.providers.telephony/database directory in /data using ES file explorer so i can read them, but when i go to some my contacts, i don't see any texts, even after restarting the phone. Are there any other files i need to be copying and pushing?
In com.android.providers.telephony/database directory, there are 4 files
mmssms.db

Just use Mybackuproot from the market. It allows you to ackup sms and mms and then restore them back to the message list...
I discovered SMS Backup & Restore - Apps on Android Market http://bit.ly/ACQlqR recently, and it works perfect. It doesn't restore picture messages, but everything else.
If your backup has several thousand messages (I had around 5000), and you restore, after the restore your messaging app "appears" to be crashed and only shows a black screen. You just have to let it sit open in that state for the messaging app to index all the messages.

Yes there are two ways that I can think of.
The first way is to make a nand of cm9. Nand back to what you want to restore from. Use one of the many SMS/MMS backup and restore apps. Then nand back to CM9 and restore using the app. That is the hard way.
Easy way involves TB if you use it.

I said "if you use it" because of some features it has that will do exactly what you are asking. You don't need to have any backup of your apps from TB at all. All you need is the program and a recent nand.

Way to try though man. It's actually phone/messaging storage. Yeah I know they made that one tricky. lol I restore just the data and it works for me. That extract from nand feature in TB is so useful. Ever get a market update and the new version sucks. Just pull the old version from a nand.

First off, your spamming, its good that they put a 5 minute limit on you. This isn't Twitter or Facebook.
You're posting non-sense. If you are stuck in a problem, such as the system not acting properly, flash back to stock using Heimdall.
If its a physical problem (power button not working, etc.) then you need to get that fix, not spam in XDA.
Are you sure you have the right forums?

[Q] How can I backup (and restore) my personal dictionary?

Hi everyone,
I have been wondering if there's a way to backup my personal dictionary from the stock Android keyboard which I always have to populate every time I flash a new ROM or an update that needs a full wipe. (Android doesn't have a Filipino dictionary yet.)
I'm thinking maybe one of you guys know if there's a file I can pull from the system folders of the ROM using root explorer, and then restore later on whenever I clean flash a new ROM in order to preserve my personal dictionary.
I've tried backing up the keyboard app before, then restoring app data only using titanium backup, but that didn't work.
Hope you guys know how a work-around for this. Thanks in advanced!

The list under the "Backup/Restore" tab in Titanium Backup shows an entry "User Dictionary" as a system app, if this is what's being referred to. I reckon if you backup everything, it should be listed there.
I use GO backup
It does the dictionary too and also has the easy UI i.e very easily understandable as compared to others
Is there some solution??

When you talk about your APPS....please use titanium backup...it always works.
Yes, Titanium backup is great. Although one downside is that you need to root your phone before you can make a full backup. So you would first have to root the stock ROM, make a titanium backup, then flash a new ROM, then restore the backup.
Mybackup root is good for SMS and call log.

a2sd on Stock Rom

I am using stock rom on rooted htc explorer, I tried installing a2sd on it through guide on Darktremor official facebook page but i always get an error meaning I'm not able to install it.
My sd card is ext3 partitioned. I tried installing beta02, using gingerbread. Can anyone tell me how do I install it?
i dont think it will work on stock rom because stock rom doesn't support init.rc script.

to run a2sd u need 2 things
1.Init.d and a2sd supported kernel
2.app2sd scripts
Instal busybox first.. then it will work!!
I'm trying to figure this out at the moment too. I think from what I can gather what you need to do is install a custom kernel. As I understand it, most of the Explorer custom kernels should work (although not the ones for the CM ROMs etc.). Something like Cranium or Titanium should do the job.
After installing that, it should be relatively straightforward, provided you haven't already got a FAT32 partition full of apps via link2SD (which I do...).
Hope you get it working, if you manage please do post back here with what you did and how it went, as I will probably be attempting this in the next week or two and would appreciate your experience.
Alright people!
Based on trial and error method:
Step by step instruction for a2SD on stock ROM
1.nandroid backup
2.backup all apps with titanium backup
3.unlink all apps if you're using link2SD and uninstall link2sd
3.1 install busbox from play store and install it.
4.backup and then format sdcard
5.partition with ext in recovery
2gb is enough
6.flash darktremors a2sd beta4 in recovery and then flash cranium kernel #2 or 800MHzkernel or kernel from ateeq ROM
7.wipe cache Dalvik cache and reboot
8.install a2sd gui
9.see if worked in gui
10.click move dalvik 2 sdext
11.wait for it
12.then move app data to sdcard with titanium backup after every app installation
13.enjoy HTC
FAQ:
1.I get "error installing from bla bla bla.zip"status 0
A:
Take the update binary from cranium kernel #2 and put it in the beta4 zip...
Just delete the update binary in beta4 and put the binary from cranium kernel zip
2.Now I get mount requires 4 args got only 3 status bla bla bla
A:
Well this time it'll be complicated..
Now open the update script with any text editor es note editor
You'll find that in beta4.zip you have mount system and then 3 parameters like "/data , etc etc," now you have to add a fourth parameter like this mount("yaffs2", "MTD", "system", "/system"); and the same way for data
If you're crazy enough, all you have to do is just copy and paste all the files in the beta4.zip in it's respective location and then give it permissions 777 (use terminal and es explorer)
And voila your zip finally installs!
That's it people!
If you don't understand anything mentioned here,google it search and search in xda until you find it.
All I can say is that it can be done and actually I'm sending this post from such a dt a2sd enabled stock ROM with 401apps in total!
Anyway all the best

But I have 593MB of linked apps...How can I unlink them into about 18MB of free space on internal memory?
Also out of curiosity, which specific kernel do you use?
Thanks for your list of steps though, should prove quite helpful if I do finally get round to doing this.
EDIT: I am starting the process. I have made a nandroid backup and Titanium Backup of all apps + data. I have also uninstalled almost all my linked apps, moved a few to internal. Hopefully in the next few days I will be able to get DT apps2SD fully functional and then restore the Titanium Backup. I shall probably use cranium #2 kernel, is this the best option?
EDIT: Why do you recommend #2 and not #3? Is #3 buggy?

Yes #3 has a major bug..
Delete all apps except essentials..after all you have titanium backup
I'd prefer the 800kernel posted by akya22 but it causes random reboots on my phone.(it might not on other phones though)

Excellent, thank you. I will probably try this next weekend, I really need my phone during the week and can't afford to risk messing it up, but next weekend I should have time to fix it if I encounter a problem.
Thanks for your help.
Wiping data in some stock roms will end up in a stuck HTC logo
Just backup your fonts folder in data and after wiping data put it back in the data using aroma

Just want to say that I have installed Cranium #2 and DT apps2SD script now, and things seem to working OK. I am in the process of restoring all my apps with Titanium (I sprung for the Pro version, so I could batch restore without clicking "Install" hundreds of times, if anyone else is doing this, I advise doing likewise), currently have about 53MB of free space (I think I maybe need to move data separately or something? I did have 82MB free earlier). But all in all, it seems reasonably successful
Thanks again ptcpayne for your assistance.

Glad to hear it...
You need to move app data to sdcard with titanium backup-first move app data of 1 app and then you can batch move...
Btw,if someone is so poor enough,know that you can batch restore apps with free version of ROM toolbox lite and batch restore data with titanium backup

@ sifjar can you tell if you can extract apps from nandroid backup with titanium pro?

I ended up opening terminal emulator and typing "a2sd datasd", which did the job just fine. Plus this way I believe it should automatically be done for all future apps.
As for extracting apps from nandroid: Yes, it would appear so.

I tried it...moving data back and forth but sometimes large cups of data are lost..including google accounts..but only during the moving process..
..also, I would like some special data to remain in internal memory like contacts....

I am yet to find any app with data missing, but I haven't run all apps yet since doing this I don't think. The important ones are all fine though.
And I find contacts to be fine from SD.
To each their own I guess

Man.. these days no one is interested in stock Rom..
this thread is in the index, yet no one is here... :banghead::banghead::banghead:
Minor update:if you have stuck at HTC logo, please install stericson busybox and try again
Mount2SD is another app.. will save you a lot of hassle.
