I did a reset of my phone, and had done app backup to ext sd card, and to PC.
After teh reset, for some reason, Hisuite said I had no backups on the SD or on the PC. (WTF?).
But I did have the backup on my sd card, so I copied it over to the SD car and restored.
But the phone was flaky. So I did a reset, and just installed all the apps from Play. Painful, as I had a lot.
Just wondering if anyone out there is more successful than this.
after updating my OREO system from B361 to B363 i have make a factory reset followed of restore by Huwaei backup.
recognized differences:
* All W-Lan and BT parings are not restored.
* some of my installed apps have lost here permissions setup
* the GUI has lost the icon settings ( this is the reason i use nova launcher now! )
* selected energy management of apps was lost
* Google and HUAWEI account was lost.
* data access settings of all installed apps was lost or reseted to default
* notification settings of my apps was lost or reseted to default too
i think, most of this effects are present because the update has made some changes to the system partition during the upgrade was made. The backup app is able to backup and restore data partition only. Most of the system settings are reseted to default.
all in all it needs ~2 h to rebuild my system fully.

So im having problems with the android keyboard app...no matter what build that i flash (always wipe when flashing) my google vk auto correct wont work. Cant find anything that would look associated with the keyboard on my sd card. I've tried to clear the data in the VK..... only thing that i can think of is that google is automatically backing it up (i have that checked) but i unchecked to restore the data back to apps and then cleared the data again and still nothing....any ideas?
A few days ago I entered phone hell. At the time, the phone was on the last stock upgrade from AT&T, wasn't even rooted and didn't have a custom recovery. Short story is that it soft bricked out of nowhere for no apparent reason. I finally gave up on fixing it, installed TWRP recovery, did a Nandroid backup, wiped everything twice and reinstalled stock through Odin. Fortunately the Nandroid backup recovered my data and my apps, so I was able to selectively restore through Titanium.
Now that even though both the internal and external SD cards are more than 50% empty, I can't do anything like update apps or sync gmail because of insufficient storage. When I connect it to my PC, Windows Explorer recommends that I scan and fix the card. I suspect that whatever Windows is seeing caused my brick and the lack of space issues.
Is it okay to let Windows do the scan and fix?
Long story short? No...
Enable hidden files and folders in explorer and find the directory that is eating up the space.
Either that or USB connect it, copy everything over, disconnect and wipe from phone (settings > storage > erase) and then reconnect and copy everything back
SOLVED - I just reinstalled all the APK, automatically linking them on the SD card. The data was still on the EXT4 partition, so everything was found by the apps.

Hi,
Link2SD was working really nice, until randomly, I kept getting errors saying it cannot links the apps...
So I've fulled backed up my EXT4 partition on my computer (Just drag and dropped the folders. Not sure if this was correct), powered off the phone, reformetted the EXT4 partition with GParted, copied the files back in with Linux, put the SD card back in the phone, power it ON;
But now, Link2SD does not detect the apps that I've copied back on the card - although it can link the apps again.
The apps that were restored simply doesn't appear anywhere (But are on the partition).
Is there any way I can restore the full EXT4 backup I've took ?

Your solution didn't work for me because it just gave an error whenever I tried to reinstall one of the previously linked apps. Likely because of the excess files leftover from the original because it would let me install new apps but not the missing ones. I tried to delete some files manually for an app or two, but that didn't work either. I found an easy solution though that works.
SOLUTION:
Just open Link2SD. Click the top left corner for the menu. Then click on "Clean up the 2nd partition". When I did it said it needed to delete 104 unused files, so I said ok. Afterwards, actually all but 2(out of 32) of my apps were restored with data automatically and those two I just restored from Titanium Backup.
NOTE FOR ANYONE TRYING THIS:
If it's still not working after that, then just try to reboot and see if they reappear. If you do lose some apps, at least you can reinstall or restore them from a backup after that. Again I only lost 2, but the other 30 missing linked apps were restored.
I had rooted my S Duos and faced some problem with boot loop.
I flashed new stock after resetting to factory mode and cache clearing. But now when I use clean Master to clean junk file it shows many previous apps like Lucky Patcher, Titanium Backup under obsolete apks menu as NOT INSTALLED. I have Super backup and had backed up my apps before rooting. Now I deleted those backups also but those apps not getting deleted.
I also think there might be Superuser app also available in memory which could be hidden.
Is there any way to clean those files without harming my msgs and contacts.
Thanks
backup everything

Hey everyone,
I've recently had to reflash my phone twice because touch would stop responding in system (it would work in recovery). I am wondering if it's possible to create a nandroid backup of my whole system + settings & data, so if it happens again that I can just restore it to that backup? It gets frustrating to install all the apps all over again and to change settings.
Basically, I want to save/backup the current state of my phone so I can restore it later with the same data it has right now.
