Sorry of this is in the wrong section.
Is there a way to sync backups to a sub folder via rom toolbox.
I've looked but can't find it. And I can't help but think I'm missing it ad its such a basic function.
I want to backup to Google drive.
I have a folder called phone and in that folder various folders

Hello,
I wanted to find a way to manually save my bookmarks and share them between my 3 android devices. I am using the stock browser on all 3 so I figured there should be an easy way to do this.
*** NOTE ***
For those of you who are new to Android tweaking and new to the G Tablet you will be required to root your tablet if you have not already done so. You will want to download and use RootExplorer to copy and move files around because these files do reside in an area that requires root access.
There are 3 files that you want to save; the files are located in the root of your device. The path to the files would look like this:
/data/data/com.android.browser/databases
and the 3 files you will find in that directory are:
browser.db (I expect this is the db that holds your bookmarks)
webview.db
webviewCache.db
I copied these files up to dropbox, then I fired up the other tablet and downloaded those files from dropbox. I then used RootExplorer to move the files from the dropbox folder on my SDCard to /data/data/com.android.browser/databases.
I then started my stock browser; looked at my saved bookmarks and everything was there!
I realize that you can backup and restore via Titanium Backup; however this is just a manual way to export and import your stock browser bookmarks if you ever need to do so.
Hope you find this useful!

Hi guys ... Well I want to export all the contact photos Android is currently storing for all my 'Phone' contacts ..
Does anyone know where Android stores all contact photos/images ?
I'm currently running a Sense 3.6 ROM (Virtuous Affinity) on my Desire Z ..
Well I could not find them anywhere on the SD card, but I did find another solution to this, which can work until something better comes along:
1) Download and install Titanium Backup
2) Open Titanium Backup, and create a backup of the Contacts app
3) Open the SD card on your PC, and then open the 'TitaniumBackup' folder
4) Find your backup here .. if its date sorted, find the backup that was created most recently maybe ..
5) Open the TAR file in WinRAR, and then open the 'files' folder inside the TAR file
6) All associated contact images should be here now ..
Please 'Thank' this post if this helped you out

Hi guys, I would like to ask something regarding the application folders.
If I uninstall an app, what I do is I clear cache first then clear data then force close the app and then uninstall. Would that delete all the folder created by the app during its previous installation process?
I checked my internal phone storage today and i saw "Summer Player" folder and it has PNG files inside it. I could not find any apps that uses those PNG files.
I'm wondering if that's a folder that was previously created by one of the apps I installed and was not removed during uinstallation process?
I would like to have an organize folder in my system and removed any unused folder. Could i checked which application is using a specific folder?
Thanks and sorry for the long post.
i saw a summer player folder in my mobile too. maybe we can compare what games do we have in common and figure out where it came from? i tried googling and the results seems to point towards poweramp
Hi, Everyone
I was attempting to make a new backup of my HTC one using TWRP. For some odd reason, I can't find the file when I browse my phone SD. The TRWP folder has the old backup, but when I attempt to do a restore I can see the new files. I tried using the ES explorer app to find the missing backup files but nothing. I know for a fact that these files are stored somewhere and they are taking space on my HTC. Can I restored to an early restore and it will delete these files?
I'm new to the Android scene and still learning. Any suggestions will be gladly appreciated.
Thanks.

Nevermind, I found the solution. The problem is that the ES file explorer does not have root access to /data folder. I enable root access in ES file and there was the following folder: /data/media/twrp.
I was able to make a new folder in the /SD and copy the files to that location. Then I deleted the folder.
Hi, i extracted my TWRP from my device to PC, and i would like to retrieve some files from my old backup. I tried and looked everywhere but can't find my download folder of my old android backup.

Make a backup of your current state and flash your old backup, then, retrieve the information and send it to yourself via Gmail or any other service.
Hope that helped and leave a thanks if I did .
