Hey guys,
In a moment of great weakness... i have destroyed my SGS2. This phone has been giving me a lot of grief lately (spontaneous and looping reboots, slow or no data connection, apps not behaving as should - requiring reinstalls, and general buginess)... and the result is a cracked temper and a cracked screen.
All that aside - i have decided not to get the screen repaired, but to get a new phone (no idea what my next handset should be - will gladly take suggestions).
So... Lately I have been backing up a lot of my apps using Titanium - which is great. And I have my contacts set to auto-sync with my gmail account - which it has failed to do since adding a few new contacts yesterday.
So my questions are... what is the best way to retrieve/backup the following data now that the screen is un-usable (but the phone seems to still work ok):
- Contact and Calendar Data
- Apps (or list of apps) that Titanium hasnt backed up
I figure I may need a different method of app backup/restore if i do not wish to root my next phone. There doesn't seem to be an automatic feature in the Play Store which keeps track of which apps I have installed... Is there another way to do it?
Thanks for any help.
Cheers.
I'm almost tempted to suggest Kies as solution for retrieving all organizer data (contacts, calendar, tasks, notes) since it does not require mobile screen interaction.
And there are two ways to save data: sync with Outlook or simple backup.
I'm ready to be flamed...
1. To retrieve your contacts or view them, visit Google.com/contacts and login your hole details. You can also sync them too ur New phone.
Access Google calendar online, to see your calendar info
2. I'm not sure how you can proceed with backing up your new apps since you said phone is working but unusable but the options below will work fine in getting back your apps on your next phone without rooting your new device.
I). Though Google Playstore:
When you log in your Google account on your new phone, open playstore, go to my apps and swipe to the next page too view all.
All, will show all the apps you have ever installed or updated via playstore. You can simply reinstall them one by one.
Note that you will need a lot of data so Wi-Fi is recommended.
ii) via ADB: this will work only if usb debugging was enabled under development option. And you have access to a pc. Root access May also be helpful.
You can use ADB to copy all your presently installed app's apks and even your titanium backup folder or any other folder to your Pc
More info on this will follow based on your response.
iii) MTP mode: this will work if MTP mode and not mass storage mode was previously enabled on your phone.
Simply connect your device via usb to ur pc and start copying your files especially your titanium folder, since your question is about apps.
iv) Titanium backup folder:
If you have a copy of your titanium backup folder, then all is well
Personally, I will galaxy Siii or NoteII if you have the patience.
Swyped from my Samsung Galaxy SII
Thank for the help guys.
Kies did allow me to retrieve those few un-synced numbers.
And the "my apps" list is a great way to see and reinstall past apps. Not sure if I will be able to root my new phone (Xperia S), so if I cannot get to the Titanium Backup data, this looks like the next best thing.
Thanks again guys.
Hi guys, have been searching for a solution to this for days now.
Background
I've had an android application developed which I am now preparing to roll out to our customers. We are supplying the software pre-loaded on 2012 edition Galaxy Note 10.1 3G's.
So far I have rolled out approx 30 units. But this is where I need help. I currently take approx 15mins per tablet to set it up - For each one I:
Turning tablet on
Get past all the initial login screens, dropbox, samsung update, google account etc
Change about 10 settings (sound, display, lockscreen etc)
Delete all the default homescreens and set a new wallpaper (copy a file)
Install approx 4 applications
This is both error prone, and time consuming. So I've been looking for a way to speed things up. Initially tried root > nandroid backup > restore via recovery (not ideal) - then tried some backup apps Titanium, Settings backup etc which didn't seem to work (root required for most)
Help
My latest attempt is backing up and restoring via ADB. Things are finally looking positive down this route. I am able to do a full backup, and then a full restore to the second tablet. The apps are there, the wallpapers changed, the settings have mostly been applied (some missing) but the problem comes when I restart for the first time. Instantly bootloops and I cannot stop it without a factory reset.
I'm wondering if Anyone might have some clues for me as to what I can do to stop it boot looping. Could I backup JUST the necessary files, instead of a full backup (e.g. just settings, and my apps etc?) How do I do this? I'm not super flash with scripting but it would be ideal if I was able to automate the process a little.
Any help is Greatly appreciated at this point. Thanks
Hi all, I am running Lineage OS (but my question is not necessarily Lineage-specific) *without* Gapps (I'm using F-Droid only) on a rooted device.
I am looking for a way to backup (on file) the Settings, Blocked Numbers, and User Dictionaries of my device. The idea is to have a backup such that:
1) I can import smoothly on my PC
2) I can re-import smoothly everything on a fresh install on the same device
3) if I change device (and maybe OS version), I can still re-import manually single files (so, maybe not the full settings, but the user dictionary and blocked numbers yes for example)
The TWRP backup is hence not suitable, because it performs a full device backup.
It would be enough for me to know the location of the databases where Lineage stores such info (my phone is rooted, I can grab those DBs if I know where they are).
I tried Oandbackup but it looks definitely overkill, it always gives me a bunch of error, and plus I found very confusing to decide what com.provider.omg.wtf.orly.kthxbye to backup and what not
Any idea?
Thanks in advance ^^
Up! Even just the user dictionaries would be very appreciated!
Hello, I've been searching endlessly for countless days now, I want to restore my app + app data from my Huawei Y9 Prime (unrootable), to my Moto G Stylus 5G (rooted). I attempted abd backup, but upon restoring it on my new rooted device, it installed/restored absolutely 0 apps, and of course no app data despite it taking awhile to "restore".

I've tried this, and unfortunately it didn't copy anything meaningful. A lot of my apps are installed through apks, and previously I used Huawei's Phone Clone to clone my old phone, and when it finished, everything on my new phone was exactly how it was on the old one, and that's what I'm trying to achieve here. But so far I've had no luck in doing so.
Edit: By "nothing meaningful", I meant it literally copied everything EXCEPT all my apps and their data. In which is said "196/196 apps failed". No further information or anything.
Pretty all I need is to get all my app's data from root/data/data, and transfer it.
I bought the Y90 from Aliexpress and was assured the device will come with google play services and google play.
I understand the phone is a china ROM and I checked the bands for Australia and it seemed that it would work.
After receiving the phone, I tried to add my google account to the phone to begin to import my saved data and download apps.
However, all I get is "Couldn't Sign in there was a problem communicating with google servers try again later".
I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this (it is my first post) but this was the best place i could find with regard to lenovo china ROM related queries.
Also, is it possible to install a different ROM on this phone? (I've seen that a global ROM is generally required to install custom ROMS. I'm also a noob with this stuff so be nice)
Thank you!
Hi,
I also have the y90 after I recieved from china, I updated it and google play service stopped working.
I can try to send you the my gdrive link below:
google-play-services-22-18-20-040300-451484765.apk
drive.google.com
You can download from there and try installing the framework(google services apk) and install google playstore direct from the app gallery provided with legion y90 china.
you can also find the google services apk on uptodown.com website, I downloaded it from there.
First you need to remove the google play store and google play services from the app management in settings (clear storage and clear cache before uninstalling the google playstore and google services).
Then download the google services apk from my link and install the services then install the google playstore.
Enjoy your Legion y90.

Hello, all u need do is go to Settings > App management. In App management, u will see three dots above. Click on the three dots at the top right corner and go to Google basic Services. Off and On the toggle button. This time, u should be able to open google applications and login to them without any problems
Are you facing issue with lenovo legion y90 for notifications.
Whatsapp notifications and google notifications not popping up.
I somehow fixed it by reinstalling the google play services and it just worked.
Will definitely look at the app management section it seems it will come in handy.
Yes, I also have a problem will notifications for most applications just not coming through unless I physically enter the apps then the notifications will come through altogether. That's why im interested in a custom ROM hopefully someone can help with it in the near future..
Hello. You guys don't have contact contact issues? It gradually erases my contacts. I import them from a file to the phone memory and it does the same thing to me. I passed them to a microsoft account and still they keep disappearing.

have the same problem did u solve it ?
Anyone wants to try to root?
Quick question to Y90 users, since I can't find the info anywhere else, what's the thickness of the Y90 at the edge and at the bump?
I've found in specs that the thickness of the phone is 10.1 mm but it doesn't specify if at the bump or not.
im receiving it cant sing in on google services, does anyone knows what to do ?
I found the issue go to settings > manage apps > ... > google services > activate it.
Then try again
