[App] App Data Manage Tool - Create backups from current state of apps and games - Windows 10 Mobile Apps. and Games

App Data Manage Tool is a tool for Windows 10 Mobile devices to create backups from current state of apps and games, and restore them at a later time, or to another phone, or to your phone after a factory reset.
Although Microsoft introduced some APIs to backup apps into OneDrive, many apps still don't use it (Hill Climb Racing, WhatsApp, are you listening? )
This tool helps you to create local backup archives from any of your apps and games; then you can copy them to your PC and then to any phone so you can restore that archive.
Additionally, you can reset the state of apps, which is almost the same as reinstalling them, but is faster and also it can be done on some system apps (which you can't reinstall them)
Your phone must be interop unlocked. Here's a quick how to (for Lumias except x50 series):
Download Interop Tools by Gustave M. (ARM version) and its Dependencies from here and copy them to your phone.
Set your phone to Developer Mode (from Settings, Update & security, For Developers)
Tap on each of Dependencies from File Explorer, then tap on Interop Tools appx.
Open Interop Tools from app list, go to "Interop Unlock", tap on "Restore NDTKSvc" and then reboot your phone.
Open Interop Tools again and go to "Interop Unlock", now tap on "Interop/Cap unlock".
(For x50 series and non-Lumia phones, the steps might be different. search for it)
After you Interop Unlocked your phone, installing App Data Manage Tool is easy.
Just get it from the download link below, extract the ZIP and copy its contents to your phone, and tap on the appx from File Explorer to install. (you might need to install Dependencies first)

Can't backup old apps (xap) games like :ac pirates, bridge contructor etc

---

Thanks for this, unfortunately I think I can't test this on my Lumia 650, because of limitations ?, but if I find a way I'll let you know.
Greetz,

What about restoring backup after when new verion of an APP has been updated during the cold start up?

---

How about reinstall all old apps after hardreset?

Hmm, seems like can find 8.1 XAPs (Silverlight apps), but not 8 XAPs. I'll take a look to see if I can figure out a way to back up those apps too.

I tried but failed to register packages from installed files. For now you can install apps from Store after hard reset, and then restore their data using this app.

---

I mean, launch ms-windows-store://navigatetopage/?Id=Apps, where apps are those with backupped data.

---

thank for this i will to try it

Hmm, in that case user needs to tap on each app and install it from store one by one, but might be better than nothing afterall. I'll consider this for the next version

Backup(done on note+) is great, but reset (done on xodo pdf docs) causes app(xodo doc) to crash

Is that app (xodo doc) installed on SD card? or internal storage? What's your phone model?

---

just tried it with one app, works fine. gonna add this to my tools. thx
any chance that the app list gets saved? and maybe lets say it searches only every few days again completely (and ofc with a manual button)?

Please

its a 925, so no sd card and tried 'reset app' even on note+ but that also started crashing i.e not opening at all but when i restored the backup (did it earlier) note+ was working as expected.Guess something is wrong with 'reset app' mechanism

---
