bkup2sdext users read below
- To enable backup of apps and data to your sd-ext partition edit /system/build.prop change
@ the bottom aca.bkup2sdext.enable to =1 (change back to 0 to disable)
*to enable restore of /data/data edit /system/etc/shutdown.d/02shutdown and add data after
for i in app app-private so you end up with
for i in app app-private data;
save, then reboot.
-!! During day to day use; it is MOST important to SHUTDOWN and not pull batt,
as this is when your data gets backed up to the sd-ext partition.. !!
