I currently have the Gnex and I've spent soooooo much time setting it up to be exactly how I want it to be. I was just wondering if there was any way to save my cache and export it to another device or if cache backups are device specific

How to take nandroid backups on devices that are not supported by ClockWorkMod Recovery?
View 3 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to have backups made manually and scheduled backups displayed in separate lists? I would like to have my manual backups in a list(with max history) and backups scheduled weekly and daily in a different list with a different max backup history(3 for daily, 2 for weekly).
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've been experimenting with LauncherPro and want the ability to try out a couple home setups, wallpapers, icon arrangements, etc. I LOVE the HTC Sense feature that allows you to save "scenes," name them and open them at any time.
Is it possible to somehow save "scenes" while using LauncherPro? I noticed in the preferences that there is a home settings backup option (with the caveat that widgets will not be saved and have to be reloaded) but it does NOT appear that MULTIPLE, DIFFERENT backups can be saved in LauncherPro.
If there are no "scenes" available in LauncherPro, is there a way to do something with the LauncherPro backup file??...to rename and save it and then bring it up to reload a different LauncherPro configuration anytime I want?
I looked through the LauncherPro_backup folder and there does NOT seem to be a single "backup" file that I can rename to accomplish the above. Perhaps I overlooked it?
Umi Cross running on android 4.2.1 when is going to update or upgrade to android 4.3 or 4.4?
View 3 Replies View RelatedFor example, I just purchased an HTC One which is running the very latest Snapdragon S600 chip and Adreno 320 and I'm comparing it to the iPhone 5 (A6 and PowerVR SGX543MP3).
Here are a few applications (mostly games) that I've tried on both devices:
* Fruit Ninja - Touch input is delayed by about half a second on the HTC One but instant on iOS.
* Simpons Tapped Out - The voice sometimes stutters and moving buildings just isn't as fluid as iOS.
* Browser (Chrome and Android default) - Scrolling isn't as smooth.
Like I said, I'm honestly not biased one way or the other but this is just what I have noticed. The iPhone 5 has a much lower resolution but I've also had similar results on the iPad Mini (1024x768 resolution).
Does every application written for Android need to optimized for every individual CPU and perhaps these applications weren't optimized yet?
I need compiling a lib (ODE) for android - problem is it uses automake and I can't seem to find any decent documentation/how to cross compile a static/dynamic lib for android.
BTW, I'm using ubuntu 12.04 as a dev environment (latest up-to-datest SDK and NDKs are installed) and I have no problem with making the wrapper library - just need to get the static (or dynamic) lib built.
I am currently using the aid version on my s4 and the only down side I have with this phone is that it doesn't have good memory. So I wanted to set up the cloud services for my back ups to save some space.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm not sure what I must've done. But nevertheless my stock Touchwiz firmware from my Galaxy S3 is gone. I must've deleted it while doing a factory reset, because my play store was acting up.
I would like to flash back to stock Touchwiz on my phone but when I looked for it on ROM Manager and in recovery all my previous backups were gone. So I was wondering if there is a way to get my stock firmware back or maybe even retrieve it from my phone from someplace it could be hiding.
Some more info: I am running CyanogenMod 10.1.3 and rooted with clockwork mod. This is on my Samsung Galaxy S3. And I am with T-Mobile on a contract in the United States.

View 1 Replies View RelatedIs there an easy way to clear out the backups from Titanium Backup? I've restored my backups and gotten the apps I want to keep to the point I want them, but there's a ton of bloat that got backed up from the original install of my phone and I want to clear it out.
View 2 Replies View Related4.2 of Jelly Bean update could be imminent for my Nexus 7, and I'm wondering about what and how to backup before the update. The question I think is a general android one though... which is why I'm posting it here.
This was going to be a question about factory reset... but reading other posts I think I now understand that factory reset just deletes data/cache, so I think any time you do that it's just gonna return the device to a clean ROM state without changing the ROM. (whatever flavour/version ROM is)
When a ROM update is applied (either official or manually flashed), I guess it wipes everything, is it like a disk format or something like that? I have installed CWM recovery and rooted my device, I think the update will unroot it, but will the CWM recovery still be loaded?
And then, what backup should I take before the update... I think a Titanium Backup is a must, I understand how that works. But a Nandroid backup too? Or is that more like taking a disk image, would that be useless to restore after the ROM has been updated? And if so, does that mean any old Nandroid backups should be discarded?
Once the new update to 4.2 is installed, is it advisable to take a Nandroid backup immediately, or better to download the stock 4.2 image and keeping it as a starting point? (does this amount to the same thing?) I guess this is where a factory reset would return it to stock (providing I haven't moved anything to the system apps)?
Or is it possible/better to use a Nandroid backup as a point in time image of everything that's been installed on the device after adding back all the apps etc? I guess that leads me to wonder if the Nandroid backup is needed at all if I'm going with the Titanium Backups...
Any nandroid backup explorer for backups made with CWM 6+? Neither App Extractor and Nandroid explorer works.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a G2 rooted with the Desire Z HBOOT and clockworkmod recovery 5.0.2.7 and everything was working perfectly when randomly out of nowhere my backups no longer restored properly. It would either say md5 sum mismatch or it would restore and get stuck at HTC bootscreen. This happens with any rom i flash. I've tried wiping/factory reset/formatting sdcard/flashing older cwm/ and even removing and creating new md5 images. NOTHING works. This is important to me because I ususally flash back and forth between different roms and I like being able to back them up.

View 6 Replies View RelatedHow do I save info. So new to pda and love my eris but some reason I was in below freezing weather and screen timed out then a bunch of lines came on phone and wont go away. V is sending me a new phone since I have only had it 2 weeks so no worries there.
My question is will have to enter all my calender info, contacts, pics and apps I installed all over again or is there away I can save all of that info. I have videos music etc., also on it.
I flashed + rooted (strangely in that order, which means I must have rooted my phone ages ago.. and then locked my bootloader after flashing..?)...
I do have Rom manager installed... but I don't quite recall how I ended up flashing the stock rom onto the phone..
Anyways, as I did seem to reset my phone, I upgraded all the apk packs and I'm pretty happy with the speed upgrade + ext2 internal space expansion.
As I now want to create a nandroid backup, so I can always come back to my current status, when I want a clean reinstall..!
My main question is that as I seem to have skipped creating a CWM recovery... if I do so now, will I loose all my data and go back to the basic stock rom?
The problem I'm facing right now is that I'm unable to boot into the recovery mode using either "adb reboot recovery" or the power on + vol buttons / menu button. (which means that I don't have the recovery mode installed.....)
So.... will I loose my current upgrades + phone settings (reset into factory mode), if I flash the recovery mode?
I have a Motorola Moto G 8GB which is running very low on storage (only about 800mb left). This phone does not take Micro SD cards but it comes with 50GB Google Drive storage. However i haven't used this at all. I am wondering whether i could download android apps and games to google drive, dropbox etc. Games like Real Racing take up about 1GB so i cannot download it to my phone. Can i download it to the Cloud? If this is not possible, is there any way that i could save the app data on the cloud. E.g. The Simpsons: Tapped Out is about 37mb to download off the play store, but then you must download the updates etc which are about another 250mb. is there anyway to save this 250mb on the cloud. Or any other games data.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a few questions about TWRP. I have been using it for a while now on my SGS2 t989 hercules variant and I like it alot but there are some things I am not sure about.
First when I make backups is it okay to only backup the System,Data,boot for regular backups? Or Should I just check everything system,data,boot,recovery,cache,.android_secure,sd-ext? Also if I make a data backup is that okay to restore after flashing a new rom instead of using titanium? I would think not but I want to know for sure.
Next thing is under the wipe menu, what is rotation data? I have never heard of it before. So should I wipe it once in awhile when I wipe the cache and dalvik?
Is there any decent application for cross platform instant messaging? My wife has an iPhone and I have a Samsung Captivate.I really don't see the point in using SMS to send quick messages back and forth while I'm at work or wherever when we could easily use some IM client.

View 2 Replies View RelatedWe have a desktop/web java application and also getting into Android development.Ideally we would like one app that runs both on desktop and android.From what we can tell, it's not much possible to run normal java apps on android. But wondering if it can do it the other way? That is, run android apps easily on the desktop (without the user install the sdk or android emulator)?In a prefect world we'd like one app for both platforms. Realistically though it seems like we're going to have to have one app with two front ends?
