My Back Up Root - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Soo guys when ever i flash a new Rom and i try to us My back up root it never finds my apps n stuff on my sd card ???

This frustrated me as well. As the app was updated for some odd reason they changed the default backup location from sdcard/rerware to sdcard/sd/rerware. So first find the rerware folder on your sdcard with androzip or whatever and change the backup location under settings in mybackup. For me all I do to make it find my bckups is to delete the "sd/" in the backup location and it finds it. Hope this helps

Bare bones rooted.

Hello everyone. My friend rooted my EVO for me about two months ago and I went CRAZY downloading roms and themes and all sorts if stuff. The problem now is my phone is FULL and so is the SD card. So my question is what can I delete off the phone using astro and still have a functioning phone. Also what can I delete off the SD card? All I want left on my phone is to keep it rooted, keep my current rom, and be able to re sync on Google contacts. I want all the apps and other roms gone.. is my best bet to unroot, hard reset and then root again? Thanks for your help.

All you have to do is go to recovery then wipe or factory reset if you will then wipe your sd card also

Why don't you just delete the zips for roms that you aren't using? You can either use file explorer (or something like it) or put the SD card in a card reader to delete the roms. Should be able to delete the apk's that you don't want too.
You can also connect as a usb memory device to your computer and delete that way.
I would make a copy of your SD card at its present state just in case.
Cranbiz, that's the method I was using but Im not sure which files are pertinent and which ones aren't so i dont want to delete the wrong ones.

I have had similar experience and this is what I've dive:
Backup your SDcard on your PC then format your SDcard, wipe everything, transfer over your desired ROM and flash.
Now you have a clean setup and can pull anything of your backup if you need to.

Is there any other option beside Titanium Backup
Yes there is a better option. It's called my backup root. It is in the play store. There is also a pro version, you don't need it unless you want it

For apk only, I like app backup restore but I always use ES File Explorer it have all in one place (apk backup file explorer with/without root and a lot more) and is FREE

I more thing I need to know although it's Out Of Topic but still related: can I delete/it is safe to delete directories at internal SD specially directory that start with "." (dot) ?
"App Backup and Restore" also free in the market if all u want r ur apks.
Edit: I meant play store.

Your welcome. All the apk files are stored in a folder called reware so after you make a backup you technically don't need the app to install your back up. If you paid for the app you can share it with others like flight track or whatever.
To answer your questions about the directory, as long as it is on the root of your sd card, you should be good to delete it, stay away from the system folder and data folders. If you have any questions ask away

Online nandroid screwed me. Or did it? Help.

So I made a backup of my Aokp rom with a long times worth of tweaks and settings, with online nandroid. I flashed another rom and hated it, so I went to go restore my backup and it was nowhere to be found in CWM. Does anyone have any idea where it went? I couldn't find it in the backup folder and onandroid didn't make a folder in my SD

check the blobs folder
Don't seem to have one. I ran a search in my file manager and it didn't find anything. Would it be a sub folder in one of the other ones on the root of the SD?

i stopped using cwm a while bac,k use twrp now much better imho. it should be in the internal sd card under cwm-backup-blobs.
Can you post the log file at /data/local/tmp/onandroid.log
Did you save the backup to the internal SD and accidentally wipe it while flashing the new ROM you didn't "care" for? Hate is such a strong word especially here..it comes down to user preference..no ROM.is a bad ROM really..its just what you want to get out of it.
One more reason for me to not use the online nandroids. Never liked the sound of if when it came out. Too many things can go wrong.

Not working for me bro
It used to work normally in my 4.1.2 rom

Manny my friend im assuming your titanium folder is in your internal SD card
What if you tried copying/moving it to your external and see if TB can detect it from there? (I know it's a huge folder...)
It's known issue that tb is not working properly with 4.3,its tb issue, devs of this app are working on it.

App extractor

I am looking for an app that will let me pull a system apk from a backup of my system using cwm. I have tried nandroid manager, app extractor, and a couple others that I don't remember the name of and none of them are working for me. Nandroid manager says that it successfully restored the app I wanted, but it didn't really do it. I have also tried titanium back up, and it's not restoring the app either. It's a system app if that makes any difference.

TB might do the trick for you. I just checked, and under the MENU
Then under special backup/restore
I know it works with twrp, Might work with CWM too. Never actually pulled one from there, but there is an option to grab the apk
Good Luck
edit: odd, searched with root explorer and was not able to find the apk i yanked from TB nandroid

I've tried TB, both restoring the app and extracting the app from a backup. Neither worked. TB spent 30 minutes restoring this app before I canceled it.

Ok so flashed back to my stock rooted backup and used the app Appwererabbit and it allowed me to make a copy of the apk that I wanted. The I flashed back to my current rom and tried installing it, but the install failed. I'm guessing because it was a system app. So I placed it in the system app folder and still nothing. Is there a way to install this without using a pc and pushing it with ADB?

Anyway to install a system apk from another rom without using a pc and ADB? I have tried to restore a backup off the app with TB, but that was a no go.

Download root browser, take a backup of the app,open root browser, locate the backup file move that backup file to system/app folder and change it's permissions to rw-r--r--. and then reboot. enjoy

I had the permissions set to rwxr--r--. After changing permissions to rw-r--r-- and rebooting, it's still not showing up I'm my app drawer or in installed apps under settings. I do have the app placed in the system/app folder along with all other system apps but still a no go. Thanks for the input though. Any other ideas?

System app should be shown in app drawer.but you can't able to uninstall in from there.check whether you can. First take a backup

Probably would help to know what app, also is it from the HTC One or another phone ?
And are you currently using a sense rom?
