Android :: Real Backup Application - Recover With One Touch?
Oct 17, 2010
When I had a Palm Tungsten C and the TX, whenever something went wrong, I had Resco Backup to the rescue-easy to use and backed up everything!
I recently switched from Windows Mobile 6.1 (Touch Pro2) to the EVO. With Winmo i had Sprite Backup. Since with Winmo- I loved to tweaked my phone, I never had to worry if I ever pushed it to max- which I did- to crash it. No worries, I just boot up a saved backup file on my SD card and everything came back to the way it was when I backed it up. It was bulletproof...figuratively speaking.
Now with Android, I am very disappointed. First, I went with Sprite Backup and let me tell you- it does not work. I did a complete backup when I got my phone. When an app changed some settings that screwed up my internet settings, I did a restore. To my surprised, it really didn't do much. I think the only backup it did was of my contacts. My internet settings were still jacked. Never had this issue with my Touch Pro 2.
I also tried, Titanium Backup and MyBackup Pro.
What I am looking for is a backup application that really works. That I can make a backup with ONE touch (like on my Palm and Winmo) and recover with one touch as well. An app that backups everything; settings, my apps, wallpapers, contacts...etc. Where I don't have to do one at a time.

I've had my HTC desire for 2 months now and still on 2.1. I had to do a hard restart today (I had lots of forced closes that weren't stopping) and when I started up the phone, I could not recover my SMSs. Weird thing is it backed up my MMSs (but I could not view these on my phone for some reason; I could only see them when I downloaded a backup program and viewed them on my computer), but my SMSs seem to be gone? This is the second time I've had to do a hard restart; the first time, about a month ago, restored everything properly, including my SMSs. Is there a way to get my SMSs back in general? Other than that, loving my Desire. PS see the pics for what I'm talking about.

I have the following issue:
My old phone is a rooted htc vision (android 2.3). I want to transfer app data (savegames, settings, whatsapp verification, etc...) to my new phone which is an unrooted nexus 5.
I have titanium backups of my 2.3 apps but i can't use them on my nexus 5 as it is not rooted.
Is there a way to use the titanium backup files with helium (which works without root)?!
Or do i have any other opportunity to get the existing app data from the old phone to the new one without rooting the nexus?

I know you can apply Permissions for Applications on it's manifest.xml file. What I want to know is, can those Permissions be adjusted by the Applications on the fly?Here's my reason: say I have an application that is allowed to do "x", "y", and "z" (SMS, sockets, etc) Permissions. Now lets say I have a logical "user" that connects to this Application, and I want that user to only be able to do "x" and "y", but not "z" Permissions. It would be nice to have the Android Framework handle that instead of having a bunch of "if's" in the App code.

I have a very hard time with the slide to answer feature. It frequently takes me 3-5 tries to answer a call. I would much rather be able to touch to answer. I do realize that there's a slim chance of answering calls while in my pocket, but I'd rather that then fight with the phone. Does anyone know of an application for this? I've searched various forums and there are no current threads regarding this.

I'd like to receive a TouchEvent in my Android application any time the screen is touched. Even if my application is not in focus.Is there an general even listener or intent filter I can write to achieve this? The goal is to write system wide gesture engine. So for example, if the user swiped up and then down, a certain application would be launched regardless of where the user is.

I have a small test app on Android that is meant to test tracking multitouch input, but I am only ever getting two touches at the same time on my Evo. Does anyone know if this is a limitation to Android or the hardware? By the way, here's my test class so you can try it out yourself.
import java.util.HashMap; import android.content.Context;
import android.graphics.Canvas; import android.graphics.Color;
import android.graphics.Paint; import android.graphics.Paint.Style;
import android.view.MotionEvent; import android.view.View;
public class PressureView extends View {
private HashMap<Integer, Spot> mSpots = new HashMap<Integer, Spot>();
private final int[] mColors; private final Paint mPaint;
public PressureView(Context context) { super(context);
mPaint = new Paint(); mPaint.setStyle(Style.FILL);
mColors = new int[]{Color.RED, Color.GREEN, Color.BLUE, Color.YELLOW, Color.MAGENTA};
} @Override protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) { super.onDraw(canvas);
canvas.drawColor(Color.WHITE); for(int id : mSpots.keySet()) {
Spot spot = mSpots.get(id); mPaint.setColor(spot.Color);
canvas.drawCircle(spot.X, spot.Y, spot.Pressure*500, mPaint);
} } @Override public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {
System.out.println("***" + event.getPointerCount() + " Pointers");
for(int i = 0; i < event.getPointerCount(); i++) { int id = event.getPointerId(i);
Spot spot = null; if(mSpots.containsKey(id)) { spot = mSpots.get(id);
} else { spot = new Spot(); spot.Color = mColors[mSpots.size()]; }
if(event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP) spot.Pressure = 0;
else spot.Pressure = event.getPressure(id);
spot.X = event.getX(id); spot.Y = event.getY(id);
mSpots.put(id, spot); } invalidate(); return true;
} private class Spot { public float X, Y, Pressure; public int Color; } }

I want to be able to backup some of my SMS threads. I wish there was a way to do this from inside the messaging app, but there isn't. I have found applications that let you backup all your SMSs to your SD Card or Email but I don't really need to save all of them. Is there a program that will maybe just let me forward specific SMS threads to my Gmail, SD Card or something?

I'm coming from a Blackberry and I love that I was able to backup my entire phone on my computer with the desktop software. Is there any comparable application or software for Android (even if its not free) where I don't have to root my phone?

I've looked in Appbrain and all I see are apps for 1 touch or 2 touch reboot. What I'd like is to find an app that will shut my phone off. Period. Plain and simple. Anyone know of this? If not, will you make it for me? A friend of mine told me how easy app inventor is. When I get my google invitation, that will be my first app.

This is a great way to easily backup and sync your phone! Never plug in, always be backed up!(Now available to Froyo!) m:IQ takes your phone content and pushes it to a private account on the web. From then on, what you do on the phone will instantly update on the web, and what you do on the web will update on your phone. Aside from backing up all data,(contacts, texts, photos, videos ect.) users can send texts from the web, import contacts with ease to push to their phone, browse and manage data, upload photos to social media, edit calender, and much more! m:IQ also makes it easier than ever to migrate phones! You can download the app FREE from the market.

I know this has been asked on other forums... but wanted it specifically for the Hero... how well does the application work with a touch screen?
I know 4 bucks isn't a lot... but meh... I'd rather make sure it works first.
Ad I have to ask for the sake of asking... sheer curiosity killed the cat.
Jail breaking an ipod lets you get apps for free... putting a rom on your phone doesn't make apps free for us does it? (not that I'm looking for free... just curious)

Hi. My Android market does the following strange thing. One application (Titanium backup) has appearantly failed an update, because when I open market, this application is always on top under downloads saying "Installing". I've powered down the phone, but to no avail, no matter what, this application is "locked" in a state of Installing - which means I can't uninstall and re-install, and I can't update, because Market will not let me do anything else with this application than displaying "Installing" and nothing else happens.
Can I get out this application lock on Market, or do I have to wait for the next firmware update? I Use SE X10.

My app won't work on non-touch android devices so I don't want it to show up in market for these.I hoped to find a property to set in AndroidManifest.xml but the closest match I can find.The type of touch screen the application requires, if any at all.

I have had my Desire for about a month, and I am finding it very hard to understand why there is no simple backup to PC application.
All I want is something that knows the SD card locations of my SMS and photos and will quietly back them up to corresponding locations on my PC hard drive.
At the moment I am using a file browser app to manually copy the files when the phone is physically connected and using HTC sync.
I don't really understand why all(?) the backup solutions I have seen cater for backup to the phone's SD card or backup to a server in the cloud, which is, respectively, far too little and far too much.
I already have a backup strategy for my PC. I just want the frequently changing locations in my SD card to be quietly copied to my PC hard drive, and prefereably OTA.

Is there a way to make highlighting of a row in a listview delayed if the user is simply scrolling the list with their finger? To clarify, when the user puts their finger down to scroll, the intersected row (if any) gets highlighted for a short moment, before it realizes the user is just trying to scroll (then the highlight turns off). It seems like the timeout is too short - iPhone has the same behavior, just seems that the timeout is longer to discern between a real row- select-touch, and just a scroll-touch. Any way to tweak this? You can see the behavior in any of the system apps that have lists..

I purchased the IR overlay from here [URL] I got it working with my mk808b by using an idc fiile, however, it only allows one touch point which means no zoom. On the computer it is multitouch.

I just got 2.1 installed and love the difference (didn't used the leaked versions). After flashing and reinstalling the apps using MyBackup, I am left disappointed that the data that goes with the apps didn't make it. I am missing all my Mileage app entries, Storm8's long list of game data, etc. Is there a backup app that would have saved all the application data?

Android 4.2 introduced multi user feature, which is very useful for tablets.
My problem is how to back the users applications with Titanium. It works ok for the main user, but fails on restoring for the secondary user. Some strange things happen during restore:
1. Titanium didn't extract apps list for the secondary user, even though I directed Titanium to the right backup locations and saw the files there.
2. When I restored on the second user from the first user backup directory, the app was installed on the two users accounts, then I got wrong UID warning on every boot. I hade to wipe data to get rid of that...
To recap: right now I can only backup and restore apps for the main user account. how to do it for the secondary account as well.

I've been rooting my phone for about a month now, and I'm currently running Kangerade 5.0.9 (great job Jrummy) but I have a quick question about Titanium Backup. I have a feeling you will all be hesitant to answer, but Im going to ask anyway. Note I have no intentions of stealing here, Im just curious to see if this is a bug.
If I purchase a paid application from the market, back it up, and then refund the application, would titanium backup be able to restore it?
