[HELP]Backup and restore - Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I always use the default backup and restore app for xperia sp. when i tried to change to PacRom, the default backup app is not there. I checked the SD card if the .sembackup folder is still there. However i don't know how to restore it because. Can anyone upload the default bacup/restore app in .apk please

You cannot use the default Sony backup/restore app on PAC.

It works with ALL ROMs just that you require root which PAC already has. It's update binary is universal so have fun with the zip after creating it!

[Q] Transferring Apps between roms

Okay so I have one phone and I have a few games with saves that I'd like to keep. So if I use titanium backup to backup those apps and if i was to restore them after flashing a new rom and kernal would my save still be there?
So basically is using titanium backup to backup apps between different roms work?

I'm not positive but I'm pretty sure it doesn't matter what rom because if you back up the app and/or data with it just make sure you have titanium installed after you get settled in your new rom & the app & just restore data using titanium. You should be fine

Anyone considering developing Custom ROM's?

Just out of interest are any of the active members of this forum considering creating a custom rom for the 2X?
Hopefully, because this is a crappy system you get out of the box. To many running apps that takes to much ram and slows down the system. To many pre-installed apps. So i'm really looking forward to a custom ROM. Does any one know how custom ROMS are made?
Well i hope lots of Devs get this phone as it is quite the powerhouse! Man i wish i knew how to make custom ROMs! there should be a dummys guide!! haha but yeah ive heard Paul O'Brien at Modoco is thinking of getting one.... now thats what you call support

How do i disable them?
SuperOneClick v1.7 worked fine, so my phone is now rooted
U can delete the apps. (Backups)
Or just rename them change ****.apk to ****.bak for example. Dont know if this will restore on reboot.
Maybe someone else can answer to this. Perm or temproot?

You can use rootexplorer to remove or move apk from /system/app. Preloaded fsecure is slowing down the phone, just delete it.
To make custom rom we need clockwork mod recovery on 2X

No, you can disable lg home launcher from “home selector“ in the main menu. i have ADWlauncher instead of lg launcher and i don't see lg launcher anymore in system processes

What do you mean by "home selector" in the main menu? I don't have my x2 yet, so I suppose it's something special by LG? I don't know this setting from my HTC.

Thanks I copied the apk there (replacing the stock one) and it installed. But I'm getting FC's every time I open Album. Similarly, Walkman FC's too. I cleared the app data (and cache in recovery) and no luck. Can someone please post a step-by-step for me?
Meanwhile, what's the best way to get a hold of the stock album apk? I forgot to back it up first. I have an FTF of .314 ROM - any way to get it out of there?

Btwn u can find a flashable zip port in cross development section. Use that..

I managed to get the original album apk from my FTF. I've tried Root Explorer and FX w/ Root to install the original apk and I get an 'App not installed'. Not sure how I managed to do it last time. I guess worse come to worse, I'll just reinstall the whole phone, but trying to avoid that.

Yeah i tried it too. The album works fine for me but the walkman constantly fc'ed. Tried installing the walkman backup i had with no success. The only way to make it work again was to flash the firmware again. FYI I'm on stock rooted.

I think it's best to wait for someone to port 4.4.4 from the z3 to the z2. It shouldn't be That hard.

I know its too late but instead of flashing firmware again you can just remove the apk's and update center will see that the apps are missing and it will download and install them again.

Restoring app data from android backup

If you have made a Nandroid backup (backup via the Recovery), then you could use the Titanium Backup app to restore parts of that backup.
I think that is a payed function in the app, but i am not sure about that.
Hello guys, I'm using the last release of xiaomi.eu beta but I'm considering give a shot for other rom. JDC, LOS or RR which one you guys recommend? Maybe some rom with android 8.0?

Please take a look in the Developer section.
There are several and everybody has it's own favorite.
Just try several and make your own choice, depending on the features you need/want.

I didn't had a Nandroid backup, just a simple backup from android settings menu. Is it possible that this backup contains previous app data?

As far as i know, it only has the app and app settings, and i don't think it has app data in that backup.
I am afraid that you lost the data.
Sorry.

Question Best way to move app with data to new phone?

Hi Guys,
What's the best way to transfer app with app data from old phone to new? Most applications like Xender only move the app and requires customisation after this. I have had some success with Migrate, but is there anything better for the job?
Thanks
You could give Swift backup a go

After using Titanium Backup for many years, I recently started using Migrate and I still use it because I found that with Android 11, TB had some issues.
Is there any issues you found with Migrate and I why you want to try other app?
Cheers!

Migrate is good
Alpha backup has done for me also a good job.
Titanium was the best app, years ago. They forgot to engineer on time...
Is the free version enough to copy app data and bring to new phone?

Good way (if rooted) is here
Migrate is a new app to help you switch custom ROMs
Tired of custom ROM switching being an annoying task? Migrate will walk you through the process of switching to another custom ROM with your data intact.

Swift backup is very good too ! For root..
And free
A year ago I used OandBackupX (opensource and free) and it worked fine.
You can download it from F-Droid.
Titanium Backup is deprecated
for me titanum backup did the job and it restored most of apps with their data but for some apps it require instaling them first then restore the data only
btw you have to be rooted

Which app and version is the main dual app ?
I'm trying it with "Abra", a crypto wallet, just to check with one app instead of all at the same time. The build version is 995
I have used swift backup few times without issues. Beware though it encrypts the backup and needs to be signed into same Google account for restore to work.
