I'm about adding backup/restore feature and a simple file manager too

Thanks man

2012/04/02 - v0.2, added batch renaming (support file mask) and backup packages To restore use the batch install feature
The next things to do are supporting ADB over WiFi and a file manager.
I use "pull" command to backup app data but ADB returns "0 files pulled. 0 files skipped". Can anybody tell me why please?

I am having the same issue in an app I am building for the Acer a510.
Or should I say, WAS having.
Bad Code
Code:
adb pull /system/app/ /Backups/system/app
Good Code
Code:
adb pull /system/app/ ./Backups/system/app
The difference for me was the " . " for the destination.
It was creating the files on my root C:\ drive instead of the
intended directory. I pulled the entire contents where I want now.
I am not sure if this will help you at all, but I thought I would share.
***EDIT***
It worked until I got to /data/app
There is where I got the same error.
"0 files pulled. 0 files skipped"
After changing permissions on the folder,
everything pulled.

Thank you so much for your sharing On my Sk17i I also changed the folder permission too but still didn't work, but upgrading to custom ROMs makes it work. I will note your solution in the next update of the program so it could help other users

The way I changed permissions was in Root Explorer.
I believe the way I changed them made it 777, not sure.

hi man, thanks for sharing your work!!
it's a really useful program, I just used it to delete a theme apk: I applied the theme (CM 7) and when I reboot my phone had a bootloop!
just a question: why is this software not into the general development section? Here is hard to find it!
anyway, a great alternative for people who don't / are not able to use adb..
see you!

It's almost a year and suddenly a new post appeared. Thanks for your interest ! I also hope I could find way to update it in the future.

hi acb123, a really nice little tool you developed!
do you think there would be any way that the uninstall menu does not show every single installed "app", but only the ones that the user installed and can be actually removed?
