I was wondering if anybody has seen or wanted to build an app that would allow you to do system backup, and allow individual folders to be selected, then transfer them to ftp/sftp address on a schedulable time. Maybe even after it was done, send an email/alert that it was successful/failed.
I looked and there was really nothing around like this...
I wish I could program, make a few bucks off it!

Also, Titanium (non media) Backup will allow you to make a backup to your dropbox account

I can't seem to figure out how to give a custom ringtone to certain contacts on JH7...can someone enlighten me and let me know how to do it?
Are the contacts on your sim or phone?

If they're saved to the phones memory you can do it. Other wise if You only have them saved on your Google account you can't do contact ringtones I figured this out just recently

That sounds stupid...so then is there a way to transfer it all quickly instead of doing it one at a time?
SIM manger has always worked on all my phones. Contacts/menu/more/SIM management.
This is mainly common sense, but it DOES happen.(just did!) Don't forget to turn on and connect Wi-Fi (if you have access) before starting Titanium Backup after a ROM flash. Just thought I would share my "woops"!
why do you think this is necessary?
TitaniumBackup restores from LOCAL files. The network doesnt have anything to do with it.
Do you mean like games and redownloading data for game... You might want to give a little more detail cause as recently said the information is saved on as

Are you getting the AAB Initializing... when going into contacts? That's what I'm getting
Sent from my LG-P925 using XDA App
lol! Okay, first why would you uninstall the contact app that the other contact apps are going to be based off?
Second if someone can tell me how to find and share the apk file, I'll be more than happy to. I have the myappsharer app and that seems to be the one app that it won't let me share.
I think this is the APP that your looking for, let me know if it's not.

I used titanium to make this backup this time.
BETTER CONTACTS APP!!!
search market for "contapps" has a logo of a penguin...
i love this contact app and when you go to manage a contact it doesnt divert you to the installed contact app manager!!!
hey chrismcgraw... could you do me a favor and make a backup and post a copy of the "get 3d games" app link.. i heard it gives you 7 free games and i already deleted it cause i thaought it was bloatware... lol
thanks
Thanks
Thanks for the file...its the correct one, with the correct name, despite getting it in the right place, something is still missing. I tried an alternate Contacts.apk to no avail either.
Maybe if someone can post a list of the files found in /system/app I can pin-point what's missing...isn't there an odex file that goes with it?
I installed go contacts from the market and now my contacts show up in there so I'm back in business yeah buddy

I was going to say the same thing as you dude. LOL!
i do the same thing and regretting...Here's an idea:backup the contacts apk&odex in p920 by using system app remover to restore the backup in p925?
Has anyone been able to get the AT&T Address Book re-installed? I've tried both of the .apk files that were in this thread but no dice. "Application failed to install." Currently using a replacement contact app but that isn't really ideal. Any ideas?
System apps are always hard to reinstall on official rom...I called AT&T and they helped me with 2 hours and no result...the only thing we can do is waiting for the new rom or return it(if you buy it within 30 days and this is what i want to do)
This is how you do, install root explorer , copy the At&t....apk to system, (app) folder then restart.

I tried, but this way doesn't work. SAR has busybox, maybe it's a chance...
One thing I miss about the HTC One is that it could sync to drop box or drive and backup my phone app and settings , even file folders and apps that were in them would go back in their right full place.
Has samsung done anything similar? I believe Kiev doesn't backup data and TouchWiz settings.

"Keis" is what he meant i believe, I have used Keis when i had unrooted stock and if i remember correctly it only backs up user data from the internal "Media" folder. however, titanium backup or helium are two really good alternatives and helium (if you by the paid version) allows backup to the cloud.
I personally use titanium backup, and it works great. I had to invest a little time to configure it exactly what I wanted, but now I am worry free in regards to the APKs, as I know I have good backups.
Easybackup is free and works great, cloud backup too (gets data backed up if you are rooted).

I've tried 20 apps and I don't really like most of them.
What are ppl using?
I honestly liked the old 4.1 stock app and want something similar.
I want manual sync, but I want the app to auto sync upon opening, which surprisingly none of them do. I know u just have to pull down to sync, but hey, one less step, is one less step.
I also am having trouble finding an app where u can easily delete from the app. I think I'm deleting emails throughout the day, only to find them all still there when I go to hotmail on my computer.
When I hit delete, I want it to delete, not go to trash so I have to open an entirely different folder and delete that for it to really be gone.
I'm just going to keep trying them, but if you guys have any suggestions, I'd appreciate it.

I use OWA Webmail app. As my employer has prevented me configuring mail apps for our exchange server. This one works though!

Have you tried Mailbox by Dropbox? I've been using Inbox by Google since it came out. I like the idea but it can get confusing at times. Gonna give Mailbox a try since it comes highly recommended.
Aquamail
I'm actually using Lollipop Gmail, considering it now supports other mail accounts natively.
Of course, it doesn't have any fancy features... But I enjoy it. It works well.

Profimail for corporate mail and Inbox for Gmail.
It will be great when the guys release the feature of getting mail from Exchange.
