Android : Backup Before Upgrading To 2.2
Nov 22, 2010
A few weeks ago, I received a notification saying I could upgrade to 2.2 but that I should backup my phone first. I did not upgrade at that time because I didn't know (and still don't know) how to backup my stuff. I cleared the notification and have not seen it since. 1. Ideally, I would like to backup my applications, music, and mail accounts so that I can easily reinstall them after upgrading to 2.2. What is the best way to do that, keeping in mind that I am a relative beginner at this stuff? 2. Since I cleared the notification, I do not see a way to upgrade to 2.2. I looked through "Settings" and a few other places, but haven't had any luck. What would I have to do to upgrade to 2.2? To be clear, what I'm trying to do is upgrade to 2.2 and not have to rebuild my list of applications, mail setup, etc.

I think I've worked out how to get the orange upgrade. But before I do I wanted to know how to back up data? I was thinking just copy and paste sd card contents onto the pc and then back again afterwards. Will this save everything as it was or will I loose contacts/ apps?

I upgraded my phone with no problems. However, when I tried to restore my backup I was informed that there wasn't one. Is this a common problem? Is there a way Ican stop that from happening niext time? I still have most of my contacts but they aren't linked to my facebook anymore and with the new upgrade I can't seem to be able to link them, except if I go through facebook. The problem with that is that some people use different names on there or I have them in my contact list under different names. Is there a way to link them manually anymore? Thats how I used to do it.

I run into problems when creating the AVD. It says do this: Open a command-line (e.g.,"Command Prompt" application on Windows, or "Terminal" on Mac/Linux) and navigate to your SDK package's tools/ directory. First, you need to select a Deployment Target. To view available targets, execute: android list targets
From the terminal, I navigate into the directory of the SDK on a Mac and I call the command listed above: myMac:Mobile jaredfurgal$ cd android-sdk-mac_x86-1.5_r2 myMac:android-sdk-mac_x86-1.5_r2 jaredfurgal$ cd tools myMac:tools jaredfurgal$ android list targets -bash: android: command not found..........

I have a couple of questions for any Rom developers/experts on here regarding things that can be done with Android ROM's.
1) Is a parser Rom upgrade possible? So is it possible to change a small part of a ROM and then allow users to upgrade their ROM easily?
So can I change a part of a ROM and then a customer can upgrade to the newer ROM without having to be technically savvy and needing to root and flash their devices?
2) Can a change be burnt into a ROM so that when a user selects "Restore Factory Settings" that it doesn't remove the upgrade to the ROM?
3) So essentially I want to know if its possible (with a device manufacturers permission) to add to a ROM some small additional parts and then give this new ROM version as a firmware upgrade to the device so that a user only has to "upgrade" and not go through the process of rooting and flashing there device?

I was trying to upgrade from Android 2.1 to 2.2 with the following guide
Droid Den - Phone Guide: How To Install Rooted Android 2.2 On Your HTC Desire - Droid Den
Once the phone was done flashing DeFrost, with ROM manager, I restarted it. However, the phone will not boot. When powered on, all I can see if the green HTC logo against a white background.
What do i do now?
Update:
I managed to got past the HTC Logo screen where it would show a Red/Green/Yellow/Blue X and then boot into Android 2.2. I did this by clearing the storage data in the bootloader and restarting.
I would have no phone reception and is unable to get wifi connection. and would get an error message saying Process system is not responding at start up. Further, the phone keeps restarting by itself.
Also, SD card not detected and i would get horizontal line noise on the screen.

After upgraded my X10 Mini Pro to Android 2.1, when I tried to connect my phone to PC Companion 2.0, after selecting USB connection on my phone, my phone automatically re-started! After restarted, my phone was locked (i.e. no response whatever I touched the screen or pushed the keyboard), there was an error message on my phone that there was no SIM card in my phone (in fact, I had not taken out the SIM card). The phone resumed to work only after I disconnect the USB cable from my phone.
I tried to switch off the phone (even took off the battery) several time and tried again, the same occured. Before upgrading, everything worked fine. What should I do? I can't downgrade it back to Android 1.6.

So I recently bought a Droid, and I haven't bought any apps yet, but I've been using the free trail of Eray, and I really like the functionality of it so I'm thinking of purchasing it. My question is, what happens when there is eventually an upgrade for an app you have paid for? Are those upgrades free, or do have to pay for the upgrades?

Is it possible to preserve file-persisted data when upgrading an app? For example my app stores data under /data/data/mypkg/store. I would like the store directory to be preserved when user upgrades my app.

When i click on batch, then run to backup my apps it jumps back to the Backup/Restore screen with all the apps, nothing gets backed up. I have backed up before with Titanium and it worked. I reinstalled Busybox, didn't help. If i uninstall and reinstall will i lose all the things i did like freeze apps etc ? When i try to update through the marketplace it says installation error, package file was not signed correctly.

Im trying to do the backing up of my application's data into the Google Servers.. For doing this i've implemented a BackupAgent in my code and i included this in the Android Manifest file and "Meta-data" ( Got after registered my Application's package with the Android Backup Service.) When i run the application to do the backup this is not performing the backup.. Im using Nexus one device(connected to WIFI also). why it is not calling my BackupAgent's onBackup() method?? Am i missing some thing, to include in the Android manifest file or some where in the program?

The files in my TWRP backup folder are

data.ext4.win002
md5 for the above

I'd like to know if there's a way to use Titanium Backup to preform a backup and then transfer those backups to my computer ?
I know this may sound simple but am under the impression that when you make a backup of your ROM and other files on your device, it has to stay on the device.
When making a NANDROID backup, is it safer and more useful if one can store those backups on one's computer ?
Am sure there's a way to do this but am not sure if there's already an app for it.

My phone was updated to 1.5 this week. I have been waiting to update my development environment, until the phone was upgraded. The ide started out smoothly, I even updated my new Colorthon program library and posted the compiled version on the marketplace.
Next I decided to upgrade Radio's Exercise Buddy. Got a signature error. I worked around it by giving it a new namespace, but this is far from ideal, because now my users will have to use a migration tool, to bring their data over. Is there a better way to do this? Also, If I change the namespace, can I still have my paid users get a free upgrade? Also, I know that many developer's have upgraded earlier, but I wanted to wait until I had the updated phone. If this is a common problem, please refer me to the thread to read.

If I upgrade my SD card from say 8 to 16 gigs... can I merely copy over the directories from my old card to my new one so that my apps still work the same? Are there any hidden files or directories I need to worry about?

I've had more than one user say they have trouble when they "upgrade" new versions of my app in Android Market. One woman says it takes her several "days" to successfully do it (I presume that means multiple attempts spread out over time).Can this be on my end? I upgrade my database on each rev - basically I retreive the user data and stick it in the new database that ships with my app. But I think the complaint is about something different. Has anyone else received comments about anything similar? I am concerned people uninstall my app just because of this issue,

I currently found out, that my Application developed for Android 1.6 does not work on Android 2.2. I'm quite puzzled about this, because its a very simple Application which almost does nothing. The Expeption I get is like that:
java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to instantiate application [packagename].AndApp:
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: [packagename].AndApp in loader
dalvik.system.PathClassLoader[/data/app-private/[packagename]-1.apk]
The weirdest part is, that the Class it is searching for here does not exist and never has. The app itself does nothing than show some text in a textview. In Android 1.6 I dont get this problem and I cant see a reason, it event works in 2.1. The Manifest looks like that:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="[packagename]" android:versionName="1.02" android:versionCode="3">
<application android:label="@string/app_name" android:icon="@drawable/stop_48"
android:description="@string/Description" android:name="@string/app_name">
<activity android:name=".DefaultActivity" android:label="@string/app_name" >
<intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter> </activity>
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="4" android:targetSdkVersion="4"</uses-sdk>
</manifest>

I have a main application, and a bunch of sub-applications (they are separate apps, which do not appear on the android home dashboard). I was planning on having a SQLite DB which the main app maintains, and get a list of available sub-apps from. Is there a way to update this main database as the user installs the sub-apps?
Two alternative I was thinking of include:
User installs the sub-apps via the main app, which would then update the DB.
Rather than use the DB to find all installed sub-apps, have each sub-app declare a category, and use intents to query for all applications which match that query (is this even possible?

I have an X10 with Android 1.6. I've read about 2.2 and I get conflicting information. Some say it's out and it's great, some say it's not out yet.
Anyway, I would like to upgrade my phone, if not to 2.2 then at least 2.0 or 2.1. I'm not useless with computers and technology, but I'm no developer either. What is the method/steps to upgrade my phone? I'm on an Xperia X10.
