Hello,
Is it possible to simply modify any rom to contain pre-installed security app with user data ?
For example I have extracted lookout.apk and data from /data/data/com.lookout. My idea is simply copy these files to zip with custom rom. In case of lost/stolen phone, applications would stay with my settings even after factory reset.
I tried to put lookout.apk into system/app and data in data/data/com.lookout into the custom rom. The application was installed ok, but the data was completely missing. I am quite new in modifying roms, but I think there is some problem with missing instructions in manifest or update script.

Pardon, can somebody move it please ?
You can put the apk in the data/apps I don't know if you can put the actual saved data in....
apk is working perfectly. Problem is how to tell the rom to copy files with settings into /data/data/com.lookout. Good solution could be some script with commands such as
"cp /data/com.lookout/file1.txt /data/data/com.lookout/file1.txt" but I dont know if it is possible.
I tried to modify manifest.mf and cert.sf but files was not copied.

if i understand you question correctly, if someone where steal your phone and flash a new ROM you want lookout and your personal data from lookout to be installed when they flash the ROM? is this correct?
i think your confused, or either i am in regards to what exactly you mean? a factory reset and flashing a new ROM are two totally different things. a factory reset simply resets the installed ROM to its default settings. flashing a ROM resets "everything" data included. if someone were to steal your phone, flash a format all or wipe manually for that matter, and then install another ROM your data is GONE. no, getting it back for us normal people anyway.

I think he wants to save it at /system and have a script or something put the settings back after a rom initiated factory reset...

the only way i know of to accomplish this would be to place the files on the /sdcard create a script that runs at boot (a fairly simple thing) and tell it to copy the file from the sdcard into the desired folder. this would have to be a custom ROM and the sdcard would have to have the file on it. again, if the person flashed a new ROM or formatted/repaleced the /sdcard, you're just SOL.
its possible use avast formally theft aware it integrates it self into the rom as root and survives a hard reset as well as offering alot of other features such as sms control and automatically turning n 3g and gps

Yes, thats exactly what I meant. I didn't realize, that after factory reset is data partition (/data) wiped. The script could be a good solution.
Of course I know after flashing rom everything will be gone. But I asume if somebody steal/find your phone. He will not be flashing rom at first time. Probably he will make factory reset and insert his sim card. It would be fine to know who is using your phone and where even after factory reset.
I was wondering if anyone knew about using adb backup on a gingerbread phone?
I have two of the same model gingerbread phones here and I'd like to copy the entire system of one to the other via adb.
In About - Phone, their kernel versions are the same but their build numbers are different. Their hardware should be identical.
The reason I'm trying to do this is that one phone checks for updates properly, but the other does not. It always says "Check for update was not available at this time. Try again later."
I've already factory reset the phone with the update issue but it still won't check for updates. Is there maybe a log entry that would give more information on why it won't update?
Is it possible to copy the entire system of one phone to the other? Are there other issues I'm not aware of?
Would appreciate any help with this.

Not rooted:
A good way to back up app data if you're not rooted is to used adb from the Android SDK. For example, to back up the data for Locale, you'd do something like the following:
Code:
adb pull /data/data/com.twofortyfouram.locale/ C:\backup\locale\
And to restore, just use adb push with the same arguments in reverse order, i.e.:
Code:
adb push C:\backup\locale\ /data/data/com.twofortyfouram.locale/
You should be able to back up apps from /data/app/ the same way.
Rooted:
The requirement being that you must be ROOTED, you could get Titanium Backup and back up your phone using that.
The reason for using Titanium Backup is so that you can selectively restore parts of your data if you were to install a different version and/or build of Android. NANDROID backup is good for having a safe image to fall back on but it isn't good for restoring data on top of a new OS installation (there are side effects sometimes).
Thanks for that.
I see that adb can backup app data by pulling and then pushing files, but I'm wondering about copying the full system from one phone to another.
Mostly to solve an update problem on one of the phones that won't fix itself by factory resetting.
Looking around it seems I need an SBF or similar. Unfortunately this gingerbread phone has almost no information on the site, its a Motorola Defy Pro XT560 running gingerbread 2.3.7.
Is there a way to create an SBF from a non rooted gingerbread phone and then load it onto another phone of the same model?
With adb could I pull the entire system of one phone and then push it to the other phone? It doesn't seem like it would work that way or be a complete copy, but I don't know.
I've just order the HTC ONE and before switching to it completely I've got some questions that I would like to ask because I would like to sell my SGS2:
1- All of my apps and their data is backed up on my SGS2 using TB, is it possible to just move the TB folder that is located on my phone to my HTC ONE or is their another process that I need to take.
2- After dealing with all of the things that I would like to move to my new device what is the best way to completely delete all of data, that is on my SGS2, and to get it to the same state that he was when I bought it?
3- Will it be best if I would also Unroot the device?
Thanks
3. U can ask the person who would buy your phone if he/she want rooted phone if not unroot and give him stock rom

1. Yes. the TB folder is all you need
2. Flash hawker paul's ROMNuke script, that should delete everything on the device, then a quick new ROM
3. That would depend on the buyer I guess. I would unroot it though and flash stock ROM (my opinion)
Thanks, I will try those when the device will arrive.
None of that will wipe internal storage. You may want to (after transferring all files to pc) wipe that from CWM recovery. Up to you. I use that script stated above, it doesn't wipe photos etc which I have on internal sd

Hi I bought a Nook Tablet running CM 10.13 stable, wanting to restore to stock. I did restore it using Nookunrooter apk. However, it is really laggy and when I tried to restore it back to factory settings again I saw the android menu come up before it switched to the 'Nook: Read forever'. Is the android still on it and that's why it is lagging so much.
You might want to consider this method for a clean restore to stock ROM (v1.4.2):

Hi,
applying an APK to any install would (generally) only make changes to the running system software in a somewhat small way
The method posted here: will return the unit to bone stock, 100% , refreshing the system with factory versions.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1663836
(same method/image as digixmax posted)
(download the image, create an SD card, boot and run the card, and it returns you and your partitions to factory version 1.42)
if you have anything on the tablet , it wont be there when you are done....
you might want to check before you reflash it , if the system settings screen is aware of the serial number, ie: can you register an account on the NOOK with Barnes & Noble as it sits now ? because if the person you bought it from made a mistake, then you may end up with a unit that your only option is to run an alternate version of something, not the factory software.
good luck
edit: I guess if you were running CM10, you wouldnt have any access to the "stock" software anyway, so if you want bone stock and then install something better (CM11 is really, really good...) then sure , might as well start it off totally fresh.

I actually tried using the method from this link before the apk, but the nook would just keep booting into CM10. That's when I decided to just use the apk. I am on stock, but it's really buggy and if you look on the link you sent me when I tried to do a factory reset on stock it gave me the message show int he last picture "Clearing data.. A reset is being preformed this may take few minutes." that's why I figured some trace of the CM was still on here.

I'll try and see if this works again, now that I am on 'stock'. Thanks, tell you how it turns out.

Android OS doesn't have a Recycle Bin as that's the case with for example Windows OS, unless you install such an extension.

That is true, but, deleted data doesn't truly get wiped/removed unless the data is overwritten. When a file is deleted, it doesn't get deleted, it just gets marked by the system to be ignored until the next time the system needs to write data, at such times, it will write the new data over the data that has been marked.
Data recovery software does have the ability to find this data that has been marked for deletion and recover that data. But it requires root.

Most of the recently released higher-end Android devices running Android Lollipop or higher come with data encryption enabled out-of-the-box - in order to be more resistant to government snooping.
IMO even if it may be true that a data recovery software can find and recover deleted data, these data are encrypted and therefore without any use of all, unless you have appropriate forensic tools.
If I'm mistaken then please tell me the data recovery software that can bring back deleted data in decrypted way.
Data recovery software works for you, but all require the phone to be rooted, so you will need to do that first to your device. With root access, it can scan the files that would normally be inaccessible.
It can be recovered back with some data recovery software?If the.zip is too large,i tink it will be difficult to recover back.

I Do not mind rooting now, but !! my understanding is that if I root the device now., It will wipe off all my data in my phone, coz rooting the phone is another way of flashing?? It will be more hard to recover file if my phone is wiped out.

Yes, but, only if the rooting method requires unlocking your bootloader because unlocking the bootloader formats the data partition. But, if you can find a way of rooting without having to unlock the bootloader or flashing a custom recovery, it won't format your data partition.
Honestly though, your chances of rooting without unlocking bootloader or flashing custom recovery , aren't very good. To do so would require finding an app or PC program that is a "universal rooting tool" and it would require the tool having an exploit that works on your device.
Or, you could do a Google search for:
"Recover data android no root"
Then try the various tools and methods that finds, if you can find videos in that search, it may help you further.
