Database Info

Complete app information?

I would like to know if there's an app which shows every detail about the apps installed on phone.
For example: some apps save data on storage and I don't know where exactly. Although I have root access I simply cannot find every data the app stores. Well hope somebody can help.

Unknown App Called 10144 pulling background data

Sent from my Z830 using XDA Free mobile app

I have an app that only shows up in my data usage menu called 10144 I've tried to research it and haven't found any information on. I have looked through my lists of installed programs and packages and haven't found this anywhere but in that menu. Its pulled 9.58 MB of data which isn't much but could be a lot of personal info. Forgive me for being new to fourms but any info someone could provide would be appreciated

Can we get a screenshot? Also, try installing titanium backup. Background services app that do not appear in Settings may show up in titanium backup.

Here is a screen shot of that app in my data usage menu

Use file manager with root and go to /data/system/packages.list where all your apps are listed with UIDs.

That takes me into another problem, I can't find anyone who has rooted the phone I have z830.

Any help on rooting it would be great and I would pay

Titanium Backup & Facebook

Is it normal to be asked to enter sign in info after restoring Facebook? I'd assumed one of the benefits of backing up and restoring apps was that login info would be retained... Otherwise may as well just reinstall from Play.

Yes it is, the Facebook app doesn't play well with titanium backup. And yes you could just skip backing it up or you could backup your accounts and restore them and get what you want

Well, you've discovered that Titanium Backup is not completely bullet-proof, i.e. there are some apps that just don't play well with it. Your posting tone almost implies that Titanium Backup is now useless: .after all, you can just reinstall all your user apps from their respective play stores or other sources if you need to. Of course, backing up, freezing/removing, or restoring system apps is another story, but after all, how useful can that really be?
Having to login again is pretty minor if the rest of an apps settings and data are preserved...was that the case with Facebook?

Lol... Yeah my tone did imply that... But am finding it really useful and prob wouldn't be without it now my phone is rooted and flashed especially with all the ROM updates! Do need to get to grips with some of the other features...

Device backup not showing in restore options

Hi,
I have a very frustrating problem. I have an NVIDIA Shield tablet that has been recalled due to a battery problem. I have the replacement tablet here and when I go through trying to set it up I do not see the backup of the old tablet as an available source to restore onto the new tablet.
I have verified that Android Device Manager is enabled AND that my old tablet shows up in my Google account. I can also locate the device from my Google account.
Even with all of that working, I still do not see my old tablet listed as a source to restore onto my new tablet. (I do see several other Android devices that I own in the list.)
I have attempted clearing the cache from Google Play Services but that did not work either. I also thought that maybe I was missing an update to Google Play Services but I can't seem to find it in the store.
Would appreciate any suggestions!
TIA!

you will mot see that never as google only recognise the board name and in your case google take it as you have factory reset your device and setting up on same device as both have same motherboard names and other specs.

Thanks for the reply!
I'm a bit confused on this because I DO see both tablets in the device manager in my Google account. Are the backups managed differently?

what type of back up are you talking about.
Sent from my SM-G355H using XDA Free mobile app

The regular automatic backup of data provided by the android device manager

it will be automatically restored if automatic backup and automatic restore are onn in backup and resetoption.
when ever you will install an app the settings and data will be automatically restored.

OK thanks!
The strange thing is that there is a list of devices to restore to the new tablet (my phone and Google TV) but the old tablet is missing.
If I understand what you are saying I should just set the new tablet up as a "new device" and all of my apps (and their data) that were on the old tablet will automatically get installed on the new tablet.

apps will not be installed automatically.
if you install app the data of app will be restoref

I was just having some issues with my restore and had to respond to this app because it frustrates me when people give such wrong responses with such confidence.
Apps will be installed with the backup and google has been doing this for years... long before this answer came out. Later they added a setting restore and the past few years it even remembers your password for certain apps that the developers have used the api.
I dont have an answer to the initial question as my issue is similar... (ironically enough my shield is showing up but not other devices i want to restore the backup from.

Setup an old device as if it were new?
I want to use a newer device to restore from, which has all apps and settings. This since my my old device does not have an app that can no longer be found in PlayStore. Is it possible to set up an old device as if it were new? I tried deleting the old device in myaccount.google, but when re-installing I can only select the old device to restore from.
thanks

Best app for backup of apps, desktop, etc

I buy and sell phones to try the new stuff and previously had been strictly with iOS. I'm just now getting in the game with Android again, and was wondering what app is most similar to an iCloud or iTunes backup?
I see some things on the internet, but they are a little dated. It looks like Helium back-up is a good choice?
My contacts are all stored with Google or Microsoft Exchange at work, my photos are stored with Google or Dropbox. Text messages I don't care too much about, nor call history.
I just want the hundred or so apps that I have downloaded to download again and also to be placed on the home page in the same folder that I had before.
Thanks for any suggestions or help.

titanium is the best for rooted devices, however it does not arrange icons in folders like you mentioned

I have never had a problem with titanium imo it's the best

I don't see any other option even closer to Titanium.
You need to learn about titanium how and what to do and what not to do.
I have some app +contacts +messages carry forwarded since samsung galaxy s (my first Android) to Note 1- 2-3-4 and currently on N5
See here a message I received on 2011 and still now on my device
Thanks to Titanium
