[MOD/TOOL] FlashBack - Flashable Backups

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.

in sd card you will find a seperate folder for app data if you have installed apps on sd.....if its in internal memory go to data-data and find that app folder check screenshots...and backup that folder before flashing a new rom and paste the folder back where it was to get all app data and setting...this is a lenghty procedure...to save time just copy all the folders instead of single one...this will serve as a app data and setting backup
dont forget to press thanks.....

bricking chances are zeroing these days....i am creating a seperate thread for do's and dont's of flashing read that....

use titanium backup!!
no need of separate apps to take backups of different things...
just a few clicks, and you have all your apps + personal data + app data + cache (optional) backed up, and ready to restore...
and titanium auto restores its data (from previous roms) when you install it in a new rom...

Thanks for the suggestion
I will includE it too

[SC-02C] Any Rom Patcher by Simmo [Updated : 2013/06/16]

Simmo's SC-02C Any Rom Patcher
with special thanks to wjchen0 for the ntt gps kernel module
Tested and working with ICS and JB 4.1.x
JB 4.2 works, but requires a Siyah based kernel or a kernel designed specificially for the SC-02C, such as KBC.
Please press the Thanks button if it works for you.
Code:
Modem: SC02C-OMLPL
Apps: ClockworkMod SuperUser
Busybox
Tweaks: Set NTP server (jp.pool.ntp.org)
Free tethering (tether_dun_required=0)
NTT GPS & compass fix
Facebook ContactsProvider database patch (is_restricted=0)
Black camera viewfinder fix for the Docomo rom
CyanogenMod APN xml (with spmode)
Samsung JellyBean fonts (incl. Japanese)
SP-Mode Mail with Push & Docomo Account Authenticator
Docomo emoji library
How to get a working JellyBean rom.
Root your phone and install a custom kernel. Reboot into CWM.
Download a custom rom. I recommend WanamLite or NeatRom.
Download my tweaker.
Install the rom first, then my tweaker.
Reboot, then you're done.
Note : You must install the tweaker every time you do a full wipe.
If you are running Jelly Bean then you can install CommuniCase by Docomo, instead of using SP-Mode Mail.
Changes:
2013/06/16
Updated the DcomoAccountAuthenticator to work with Docomo CommuniCase.
Added support for Docomo emojis in keyboard that use it.
Reverted to the OMLPL modem, as I found it works better.
2013/02/04
Updated the system modules and modem from the latest OMMP4 rom.
2013/01/28
The gps module has a bug that cuases the system to hang at the docomo logo.
You must install this new update to stop it happening.
If you already have the "stuck at docomo logo" problem, download the new tweaker and install on top. It deletes the corrupted file.

Works great
Great tweak. Working for me so far and I had a few issues myself. I will say that in order to get the ROM (I'm using Wanamlite 14.0 and the 23 Toggles) and the tweaker working properly I did have to do a full wipe.
I will just recommend that anyone who wants this to work BACKUP - BACKUP - BACKUP.
I also used Titanium Backup (correctly - Thanks Simmo :silly: ) to backup all user apps. Don't worry about the system apps - the ROM takes care of them.
My order of installation -
1 - BACKUP your current ROM - again - BACKUP your current ROM
2 - Use Titanium Backup (use this guide) to back up your user apps so you can get them back afterwards. When using Titanium Backup for the first time on a new ROM, you may get the message about using the phone's original ID, ignore it, let it use the new one.
3 - Follow SimmoF's instructions in the first post
4 - Reboot and enjoy.
Thanks again to SimmoF - buy him a beer.

Then it obviously appears that it is not the ROM or the tweaker causing the problem. Please be sure that you have the right Tweaker B version and boot into recovery and run it through again.
If not, I would say try again but after the ROM installs let it reboot before installing everything else. Run through the google setup stuff, don't do the samsung stuff, skip it.
Then go in and only restore user apps. I always thought I knew Titanium Backup well, but, as Simmo pointed out to me, I was wrong. Go ahead and JUST RESTORE YOUR USER APPS - NO SYSTEM APPS OR DATA. You may also have to go in and set your apn to the spmode.ne.jp .
This is what worked for me. After you have done that and just the ROM and your restoration works, test with a few reboots. Then go and get the tweaker file again. Just to be safe.
I know that, myself, if I let everything settle and check for running operation, then install the 23 toggles, tweaks and sp push files, it works.
If you get stuck at the boot logo AND you have downloaded the Tweaker B version of the file before wiping again - try to boot into recovery and just run the tweaker file as suggested.
DON'T GIVE UP!!!
It's a very smooth ROM. So far...

Re: [SC-02C] Any Rom Patcher by Simmo [Updated : 2013/01/28]
Finally set up everything.
Trick is not to use titanium back up to restore data.
Btw how can I use other kernel ?
And any suggestion for battery
Now on wanamlite Rom with simmon tweak.

Run a disk checker.
If on windows. Mount as USB device.
Open a command window on the PX.
Run the command "chkdsk driveletter: /f"
That should fix it. If it says partition type is RAW, then something strange happened and it needs to be formatted.
If your internal /data partition is damaged, you need to do something different. Tell me a If that fixes your problem.

how is your battery consumption\ for wanamlite?
I know this rom is great but the battery really decrease too fast. Even I close the mobile data and wifi. It drops around 5% per hr. compared to cm9, it is far too high

XXLS8 has issues. the XXLSJ leak is much better actually.
I recommend going back to the leak or going to cm10.1
I am playing around with cm10.1 at the moment.
XXLS8 sucks.

I've been trying to download your tweaker on and off now for about two weeks. Tried different combinations with different browsers to no avail.
Every time I click on the file, it just opens up and shows the files in the zip. Its pretty to look at but .....
Can you not just upload to xda???

I had the same problem. It's not the zip file that is a problem - it's google drive
First, I am assuming that you are doing this from the phone itself.
I used Firefox and this is what you need to do -
1-Click the link to download the file and once you are in the directory where you see the zip click on it.
2-It will open and show you the contents of the zip - don't worry
3-Click the menu key on your phone and one of the choices listed will be show as desktop or something like that - click it
4-Let page reload
5-Now at the top of where the zip file is shown, you will see some menu choices - File Edit, etc.......
6-Click File and I think the bottom choice is download. Click that and it should download the zip file.
It will give it a random name but you should be able to get things figured out from here.
Please thank me below and make sure you get simon (or Me - haha) a beer.

[APP][ROOT][3.0+] Backup2Tar v0.1 Flashable App+Data Backup using Tar.

Backup2Tar is a Free backup tool that I created to help restore my apps after flashing a new rom.
How it works :
Select which apps to backup from the UI
The app generates a tar file on your sdcard (update.tar.gz) with the package files and data.
Finally, the app will generate restore_tar.zip which contains busybox and a small shell script to find update.tar.gz and extract it.
As of right now it's a very simple app, there are no options at all and I made it for personal use and to (re-)learn Java.
FAQ :
Why tar?
because it's the standard archive format on Linux, preserves permissions and user information.
But all the cool kids use zip files.
Yes, sure you can hack a nice updater-script to fix permissions on all files, but it's bound to screw up permissions some way or the other, specially with apps that have executable files in their /data/data/.
Your icons suck
Feel free to create new icons for the app and I will gladly use them.
Is there anyway to help?
Provide me with ideas, ways to improve it, better artwork and feel free to donate!
TODO :
Toggle saving apps' data and/or cache.
Store other important settings (wifi, gps, etc).
Clean up the source code and publish it.
Tested Devices :
N7000 (running 4.1.2 / Phillz Kernel).
Rooted 3.0.0, 4.0.3, 4.2.2 Android emulators (tested using update-binary, not from recovery).
All comments / suggestions are welcome.

Changelog :
v0.1
Initial alpha release.

Sounds useful, downloading now. Thanks!

I'm not sure, I don't have any protected apps at the moment to try with.
If you can test and report back it would be great.
The app copies /data/app/xxx.apk and /data/data/xxx, so if the protected files aren't in /data/data they won't be copied.

I'll see if I can get some time to install and try it.
Have you considered adding /system/app and it's associated data to the list? An app might be included in one rom and not in another so I'd still want the ability to back it up even if it has to back it up to /data
Also I didn't see it in the screenshots but if not there a single checkbox to backup ALL apps in list would be highly useful rather than having to click all of them.

You can backup system apps as well.

I found a bug in restoring, some apps won't restore right without "reinstalling" using the package manager, gonna try to figure out how to call the package manager from recovery.

Workaround to fix the apps that aren't working after restoring is to use adb shell.
PHP:
$ adb shell
$ su
# tar tzf /sdcard/update.tar.gz | grep data/app/ | while read APK; do pm install -r "/$APK"; done
This basicly will use the package manager to "properly" install all the apk.
I will release a fixed version later today.
I will add check-all option as well, I'm still getting the hang of action bars and such.

does this script preserve "move to sd" location? i mean, i used a lot "move to sd" standard android function, to move many big apps to sdcard/.android_secure folder... of course, none of the those that use widgets...
i found that restoring with titanium backup does not preserve this: if i batch restore my apps, it fills up my internal memory (samsung note n7000), and i've to move a bunch of them to sd before redoing restore of the remaining ones... very boring...
is there a way to restore apps EXACTLY in the same location where they were when backupped? thanks

Is it possible to backup the whole ext partition as well? As Im using Link2Sd and to restore it quite tedious. My apps + games are out of the internal space.. So, I extend using ext partition.

Can we flash the backup to stock unrooted rom ,from the stock recovery??

That's why u always make a backup, I don't understand, why did u wipe the device to root? U don't need to, unless u had to unlock the bootloader to, but that's simple enough, just make a backup, and no titanium backup probably doesn't work with 6.0 yet

Exactly
BTW Backup+ works on M.

EInstead of being unhelpful and spammy like the posts above, I'll help. Revert to supersu 2.49 and install the appropriate elemental x kernel.

I had the same issue, and although I didn't have the time to investigate it much, the problem seems to be the following:
Backups used to be located at
Code:
storage/emulated/0/TitaniumBackup (sdcard)
and they are now saved to
Code:
storage/emulated/legacy/TitaniumBackup
The second path is only accessible with a root browser. I think that if you've rooted your phone and you move (or better yet copy some for testing) your backups there, TB will see them again.
At first I thought it was a bug with TB and Android M, but now I start to wonder if it has something to do with ElementalX since I've also flashed that kernel to my device.

Use SELinuxModeChanger (Google it, is not in the play store) to set permisive mode. That worked for me
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

SELinux permissive mode is the solution! Kernel Audiutor has an installable plugin for changing SELinux mode.

Permissive mode is not working for me, for some reason. TitaniumBackup on Android 6.0/ElementalX v6.02/SuperSU v2.52 still saves at ''storage/emulated/legacy/TitaniumBackup'.
I tried both SELinuxModeChanger and the permissive.zip flashable that ElementalX post is supplying.

I'm having problem with titanium bkp. I had backup all my apps with data on 5.1.1 and flashed 6.0.1 rom. Now titanium bkp doesn't detect my bkp.
Tried many things like
copy bkp files to internal,
just made an app bkp and copy my bkp files to that folder etc.
still my TB doesn't detect my old bkp

Can you make sure that the filename casing is as TiBkp expects it?
Move away TitaniumBackup and data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup, then create a backup and see what TiBkp creates for these two folders.
I've had instances of TiBkp not seeing data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup because it was named Data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup (note the uppercase D at Data).
