you can backup all your data to SD card from Settings

This won't do copy 1to 1. Back in settings does not do back up like titanium backup. All app i will have to download and install. Apps which aren't in play store or cracked apps won't be install. Plus all internal settings in each app won't be safe. This backup in settings is useless.

Yes. then try Migrate app or Swift Backup. I think that's what you need.

Thank you for answer. Do those apps need root access? I have forgotten to mention apps need to work without root

[Q] Root, modify and then unroot

Hi all,
Im new to Android but I have done a fair bit of developing with Windows phones. I have recently bought a LG Optimus 4X HD and the first thing I want to do is install PhoneLocator Pro for security.
In Windows I used to install security software to the extended ROM so if it was factory reset the software would stay. PhoneLocator Pro says it can do this if the phone is rooted. I have read the guide to rooting and im ready to give it a go.
My question is after I have rooted it, installed the software and removed the bloatware is it then possible to unroot the phone to protect it from accidental deletion and also to increase the security by not allowing deletion of PhoneLocator Pro when it is installed to the ROM.
I have done a lot of reading up on rooting but cant find anything on unrooting. I have also searched but when you search for "ROOT" a lot comes up.
Thanks

"5th. Automatically turns on the GPS giving you greater accuracy. Available only on phones with ROOT"
Soo, if you unroot the phone, the app won't work...
Stock apps can be uninstalled from the phone, and if you unroot there is no problem.
We can't have everything...
Thanks for your help.
If I leave the GPS activate all the time it should still work though shouldnt it?
How do I unroot and then i can try it?

In "SuperSU" you have the option "Remove root completly".
About the app... I don't know if only needs root for that option or to work normally. I never tried that app.
Thanks RuedasLocas.
In your opinion what freeze app software do you consider the best. Im thinking of trying App Quarantine and AntTek App Manager. From what I can see a few havent been updated for a while and therefore dont run so well on ICS.

Sorry if I steal the answer to this question but you can use the free app SDmaid. It also has an App management menu where you can freeze apps.
Or use Titanium Backup Pro Root.

Well... I use Root Uninstall Pro and AntTek Explorer, now, if they are the best or not...
They're very easy to work with and very effective.
RU allow to uninstall or freeze, give the app file location and directory thru AntTek Explorer.
AntTek Explorer allow to see and manage hidden files on the device.
If you plan to do some more Android stuff (especially flash roms what might be possible soon), I'd recommend you to buy Ti Backup.It's great for backups and can freeze, root uninstall, fix market links and more. I have never regretted buying it because you can do so much with it.

[Q] Remove Xperia system update notification?

I'm getting this notification about the system update, and it is persistent.
I've tried checking the box "do not remind me about this update " and restarting several times.
I do not wish to update, in case a root method comes out for the old fw version.
So how do I remove this notification?
Go to Settings>Apps>All>Update Center
And untick show notifications. Hope it works for you

For a weary traveler with the same problem this is what I did: I am rooted and installed titanium backup. open titanium backup, search for update and wipe data for update service 1.0 and software update. Then freeze both apps and you will not have any problem with the install file downloading. Hope that helps.
How can I disable the update notification on my Z5 Compact running 5.1, I don't want to go to Marshmallow
and this update at the top has been there for ever
Thanks

I've no data atm on the handset, do you mean using Titanium backup ?
If so i'll need to wait until Thursday until my data is renewed, I was hoping on 5.1 there was a setting I could change as this is an old thread

The advice for Titanium is a load of Tosh, never did nothing
Anyone got any other ideas, i've had 2 system updates stuck on the Z5 compact for 2 weeks lol
maxmix
this worked for me, no root, you have to hide com.sonyericsson.updatecenter
adb shell
pm hide com.sonyericsson.updatecenter
exit
adb reboot
There is no update center in L.
You can close the permanent notification with force stopping Software Update app in Settings/All.

I have a rooted xperia z5 compact and this worked for me!
Try this:
About:1.You can use the Notify Block
2.In the presence of rooting:
2.1. Using the application ® Root Explorer (File Manager), follow the path: system/priv-ap/UpdateCenter/ and delete UpdateCenter.apk
2.2. Using the application ® Titanium Backup remove\freeze "software Update".
The first reply mentions Settings -> Apps -> All, but there is NO "All", so that suggestion does not help.

UPDATED 5/4/19 Working Trusted Face/Face unlock

I was doing a data migration Via Titanium backup for my new Razer 2 from a OnePlus 6 and decided to try it's trusted face restore. I had tried magisk modules and apk downloads from other websites when I found out it wasn't available out of the box. I'll add the apk itself and the titanium files. Let me know how it works with just the apk. And if the bare apk doesn't work use titanium back up and let it restore as a system app.
EDIT:
Time to resurrect an old thread, I removed the app and tried it again using the packages I provided and ran into the same issue. Attached below is a titanium backup of my new working app. If you cannot get it working with the attached zip download the latest NANO Open GAPPS package available at https://opengapps.org/. I got it working again by installing the nano package. Let me know how it works guys ?
And here's a zipped file with the titanium backup

So are you saying that it does work for you? Are you on Pie?
Yes it works and yes I'm on pie. It actually works incredibly well. The app came from my OnePlus 6 on pie. I'm rooted and did it through titanium backup though. If someone unrooted tests just the apk report back.
I'm unrooted tried to install app no good doesn't work
How to restore this with titanium? sorry but it's have been a while since I used titanium
Edit: managed that titanium recognize the backup but it doesn't get restored it stays on 0%
Edit 2: now it gots restored but gives me a FC if I try to add a face

With the apk you went into the settings/security/smart Lock/ and didn't see trusted face in there then?

The app is still installed correct? From there, to try and fix the force close go into the applications from settings and clear the data from the app and try the setup again.

Yes it's installed correct and appears in smart Lock.
Clearing data doesn't help (was the first what I have tried).

Could you check the permissions it's granted in applications? Make sure it has access to everything. If that doesn't do it I'll remove the app from my device and do a fresh restore with my titanium file I posted. If it works for me again I'll post all the steps I took and add some screenshots in the original post as an edit

The app doesn't install just fails
app cannot be installed.
As of now read the updated instructions and you should be set on getting trusted face working. Quick summary is install the nano GAPPS package and it will appear in settings -> security -> smart lock. I think the install via app method in the original post didn't work because there were missing libraries that the package installs.
Smart locks do not have face recognition. (Have you received a security update in the last six months? This system cannot be updated in China.)?

No, I haven't had any updates since February. Looks like Razer already cut support for the 2
I'll look and see if there are any methods that can be used in China for this. I have a feeling the downloads will be blocked since it's a Google app :crying:.

I like to play games, but this phone, the system is very bad, inexplicable Caton, I think rp3 will not be launched, rp2 system update should seek third-party development (if there is a very good third party I am willing to try)。:highfive:

I did see where the Razer Phone (first phone) was now LineageOS supported, too. First saw it unofficial, and as of yesterday, officially supported.

Restore App Datas from other brands of phones

Actually, I have a Honor 10 and I want to buy a Xiaomi Mi9T Pro/K20 Pro...
I want to know if there is a solution to save and restore all the Apps AND also the associated datas of these apps from my old Honor to the new Xiaomi...
It's easy from a Honor to another Honor because we can make a Full Backup to restore on the new phone...
But how can I make this if I change of brand ?
Both phones aren't Root...

The usual back app and restore apps normally require root if you need to include the app data.
However, you have the option with your Google account. I've never tried it, so couldn't say how well it works.
Go to Settings -> Google -> Backup
It says it does everything your asking for.

Question Google backup

Hello, I want to root by phone, but in order to do that, I need to unlock the bootloader. My question is : Is a google backup sufficient to restore phone to his previous state ?
Thanks by advance
Google can backup your sms messages, call logs, contacts (if u've synced them with ur gmail account), device settings, app information, so you can reinstall the apps automatically when u sign in again on a new phone or a the same phone, but rooted or with a new custom rom, without having to manually search up the apps on the play store and install them individually one-by-one (keep in mind that apps u've installed from sources other than the play store will need to be manually installed again), and your photos and videos (if u've enabled backup in google photos).
i frequently use it for custom rom hopping and find it more than sufficient
There is an alternative for the apps from others sources?

No you can't get a good backup if bootloader is locked.
Wait for unlock and in case of that all losr...and then you can root and install ... Backup whatever you want

I need to backup before unlock, because it's the unlocking process witch reset datas
And for the authenticators apps, is it possible to backup ?

My opinion:
Without unlocked bootloader you can't root. Without root you can't backup any app data or app settings.
Only backup of internal storage is possible if unrooted, means pictures, self stored files, downloads...
Some apps are able to make an own settings backup.
Google backup means naked apps, sms, contacts, some ui settings and wifi password.
That's it
The problem that you can't do a real backup without unlocked bootloader is the reason why I always unlock my smartphones before starting to really use it.
It is no problem not to root. Just unlock. All the other things are possible without data loss.
