Very clear explanation from Kantjer (original post here)

On Samsung jb when using the app I never had to use a script so will need to look at that if its different for Aokp roms?

Which one is better Online or OBackup?

Answer from Kantjer:
There basically 3 major developers involved in the world of online backup (online meaning no need to boot in recovery)

  1. ameer1234567890, who developed the "Online Nandroid Backup" script, this is the script making the actual online nandroid.
    The script can be run without any additional apps using a terminal emulator.
  2. snoopy33, he is the developer of "OBackup"
    OBackup is a frontend app that uses the Online Nandroid Backup script for the backup part. But offers a lot of additional features like like easy setup, scheduled backups and backup retention to name a few.
  3. H3R3T1C, is developing "Nandroid Manager"
    a dedicated app to manage all your backups and let you verify MD5 of backups, restore apps+data from nandroid backup and a whole lot of other nice things.

So basically "Online Nandroid Backup"and "OBackup" should give you the same backup result, only if you want the nice extra options go for OB. Nandroid Manager is a great addition to compliment your set off backup tools.

The good news for us as users is that the 3 developers are working closely together to ensure that everything is working nicely together and apps and script are compatible.

A few tips for new users. I have seen a lot of people posting issues using "Online Nandroid" or "OBackup" and most off the time is due to only one off the following things.

  1. The user didn't install the correct device specific path, this is needed to tell the script where to find the boot and recovery partitions. You can find the patches here
  2. Don't start messing with selecting partitions to backup, leave that option disabled and OB will backup all the relevant partitions for you. Only use it if you need it and know what you are doing.
  3. Only use the SD-EXT option if you use apps like app2sd, link2sd, data2sd, etc... otherwise leave that option disabled.
Good luck, and if you need any assistance place a port in the appropriate thread.

Just installed but my device did not get correctly recognised at app start up. Im running a Galaxy S2 (GT-I9100), but options available are for Galaxy 2 and Epic 4g. Do I need a patch as with the onandroid app or should we choose one of the other models listed?

Thanks for creating this, could be very useful :)

I am sorry I am not sure to understand: you have a S2 and one of the option detected by the application was S2, if it is your case you need to choose the S2 in the list. Did I got the point?

Please give more detail if I am wrong.

FYI, the detection is just needed for the patch download.

To launch the download of the patch, you need to remove first the onandroid script by clicking on the menu, in the top bar, and after on remove tools.

Regarding the patch, getting one is better than not having it. But it is not necessary for main partition (system, data...) on most devices. When you have you know that every partition will be backuped correctly, without, it depends...

Do you think I need to add some help messages? Like about choosing the good device and about the patch.

Hope the answer is useful to you.

I would be happy to complete the information if it is needed.

Regards

Ok I begin to understand. I have a stock ROM and the detection is based on the files found in "/" directory.

Can you send me the list of files present in this directory on your phone?
Moreover, does the application offer you some choices?

**edit
there has *got* to be a better way to detect what device you are using.

Thank you, now I understand what is happening. CyanogenMod has renamed some drivers that I use for the device detection. So I have to change of detection method.

Anyway, for the present, you can set manually the device. In Your Device section there is a menu to redefine your model by hand. You can use it for now. In the next update I will add this possibility directly during the detection. Moreover, I will add a classification by brand to make things simpler.

I ll work on that tonight.

I am sorry I am not sure to understand: you have a S2 and one of the option detected by the application was S2, if it is your case you need to choose the S2 in the list. Did I got the point?

Please give more detail if I am wrong.

FYI, the detection is just needed for the patch download.

To launch the download of the patch, you need to remove first the onandroid script by clicking on the menu, in the top bar, and after on remove tools.

Regarding the patch, getting one is better than not having it. But it is not necessary for main partition (system, data...) on most devices. When you have you know that every partition will be backuped correctly, without, it depends...

Do you think I need to add some help messages? Like about choosing the good device and about the patch.

Hope the answer is useful to you.

I would be happy to complete the information if it is needed.

No. Maybe I didn't make myself clear. The app doesn't recognise my device as an S2 at all. 3 phone models appear in the drop down list as mentioned in my earlier post but the S2 is not one of the options.

I've now gone into the your device option and chose to force the model and the S2 is listed in this list so panic over :)

Gonna give it a whirl now and see how I get on. Thanks again.

Ok I am releasing a new version with choice of the device after the detection + fix of the first bugs.

Can you tell me if you are using a custom rom?

Btw, do you have an issue with preference (color issue), on partition selection screen?

No worries.
Sorry, I forgot to mention that I am using Alliance V5 JB Rom. Based on XXLSJ leaked firmware.


Inverted apps are definitely the coolest looking and battery efficient so perhaps you could look at that as an option?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1882467

White/light text on a black/dark background instead of the black text on bright battery hungry white background? That would probably be more in keeping with the current theme trends.

And how about support for different storage such as Skydive, Jottacloud, Google drive etc, are they being considered? I tend to use different storage for different things. Google drive is where I store my backup images etc.

Now that I have sorted the phone model issue, the app did its job. Excellent, and will definitely come in handy moving forward. Thanks again

:cool:

I have a big issue here: the name! It needs to be orange :) And black + orange is cool but it's very serious :silly:

But more important, my app will drain battery because of the upload part. For a big backup, depending of your connection, it can take times.

But most of the time, during the process, the screen is off.

Compared to the wifi energy cost, the screen is just peanuts. So I don't feel the application is concerned by this point.

But if you feel the colors are not Ok, I would consider your ideas for a future update! (only if I think your taste are better than mine :eek:)

Anyway, thank you for your information, it definitely confirms that the way I am doing things is not the best regarding the model detection. I am thinking to implement a little machine learning algorithm to compute some probability, cause it looks like it will be the only way to have a good ratio of correct detection over false one...

Haha yeah I forgot about it! I am sorry.

They have a SDK so it looks like possible.

But I want to put the priority on Google Drive as we are on a Google platform after all!

Moreover, I don't hear too much about box, just few time ago about their super 50 Gb offer.

I am wondering if there are lots of people really using it, according to Play Store stats:

  • Dropbox Android app: 10 millions < x < 50 millions
  • Google Drive: 10 millions < x < 50 millions
  • Box Android app: 1 million < x < 5 millions
What do you think?

    Very clear explanation from Kantjer (original post here)

    Which one is better Online or OBackup?
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse
    Answer from Kantjer:
    There basically 3 major developers involved in the world of online backup (online meaning no need to boot in recovery)

    1. ameer1234567890, who developed the "Online Nandroid Backup" script, this is the script making the actual online nandroid.
      The script can be run without any additional apps using a terminal emulator.
    2. snoopy33, he is the developer of "OBackup"
      OBackup is a frontend app that uses the Online Nandroid Backup script for the backup part. But offers a lot of additional features like like easy setup, scheduled backups and backup retention to name a few.
    3. H3R3T1C, is developing "Nandroid Manager"
      a dedicated app to manage all your backups and let you verify MD5 of backups, restore apps+data from nandroid backup and a whole lot of other nice things.

    So basically "Online Nandroid Backup"and "OBackup" should give you the same backup result, only if you want the nice extra options go for OB. Nandroid Manager is a great addition to compliment your set off backup tools.

    The good news for us as users is that the 3 developers are working closely together to ensure that everything is working nicely together and apps and script are compatible.

    A few tips for new users. I have seen a lot of people posting issues using "Online Nandroid" or "OBackup" and most off the time is due to only one off the following things.

    1. The user didn't install the correct device specific path, this is needed to tell the script where to find the boot and recovery partitions. You can find the patches here
    2. Don't start messing with selecting partitions to backup, leave that option disabled and OB will backup all the relevant partitions for you. Only use it if you need it and know what you are doing.
    3. Only use the SD-EXT option if you use apps like app2sd, link2sd, data2sd, etc... otherwise leave that option disabled.
    Good luck, and if you need any assistance place a port in the appropriate thread.

    Ok I have missed an important email dated of last Friday from the Play Store notifying me that Orange asked to ban me because of the name "Orange Backup".

    Here is their request:

    This is a notification that your application, Orange Backup ★ Onandroid, with package ID com.pommedeterresautee.twoborange3, has been removed from the Google Play Store in the following jurisdictions: EU.
    REASON FOR REMOVAL: Alleged trademark infringement.

    All violations are tracked. Serious or repeated violations of any nature will result in the termination of your developer account, and investigation and possible termination of related Google accounts.
    You may contact Orange Brand Services Limited at ***@orange.com. If Orange Brand Services Limited contacts us specifically authorizing your app to be re-published, and your app does not otherwise violate the Developer Distribution Agreement and Content Policy, we will reinstate the app.
    Please note that we have included a text copy of the Infringement Notice we received for your reference. If you have any further concerns about this issue, please address them directly to the complainant in the Infringement Notice provided below.

    tm_infringement_explanation: The app is called "Orange Back-Up" which
    suggests it is a back-up service offered by Orange - the globally
    recognised telecommunications brand.

    Orange Brand Services Limited has extensive intellectual property rights
    including numerous trade marks protecting Orange as part of its global
    trade mark portfolio.



    The Developer has no rights to use Orange Brand Services Limited's "ORANGE"
    trade marks and there is no authorized use of Orange by the trade mark
    proprietor to the Developer.

    We are most concerned that this could cause confusion and our concerns are
    heightened as the description provided states that "this application is not
    linked in any way with Orange Telecom". This suggests there may have been
    confusion and the Developers are aware of this problem.

    Orange uses a similar colour palette (orange, white, black and grey) for
    its communications and apps so there is very little to distinguish this app
    (orange on a black background) from a genuine Orange app.

    Orange has its own apps and does not wish for there to be any confusion
    with Orange's own apps and this one.

    We should be grateful if you would remove this app before it damages
    Orange's reputation by causing customer confusion.

    And here is my answer:

    Hi ***,


    I am the developer of the Orange Backup application.


    I have just been notified that you have requested the removal of this

    application on the Play Store in every European Country in a claim to

    Google dated as of 29/04/2013.


    I am very surprised that you didn't take the time to contact me

    before asking to Google to remove my application.


    According to your claim, I understand that you have protected the word

    Orange and the squared Orange logo.


    "European Community together with a global trade mark portfolio protecting

    the word "ORANGE" and the orange color (pantone 151) and square device/

    logo in a large number of countries throughout the world. "


    You have based your claim on the CTM n 8164758:

    "tm_location_and_number: ORANGE -

    CTM registration number 8164758 in classes: 09, 16, 18, 25, 35, 36,

    37, 38, 41 and 42."


    I have attached to this email the Certified copy of the Registration

    Certificate with the registration number 8164758 as extracted from

    OHIM website.


    According to the attached certificate, the word mark "ORANGE" is

    protected for these classes *only*: 14, 18, 21, 26, 28, 30 ,35, 36,

    38, 39, 41 and 43.


    Interpretation of NICE classification can be found at this address:

    http://web2.wipo.int/nicepub/editio...lat&explanatory_notes=hide&basic_numbers=show (tenth edition)


    As described in the Play Store, the application "Orange Backup" is a

    software to make a "Nandroid" backup. Nandroid backup is a backup of

    all the device. It is needed to restore a software broken device

    because of some software low level modification (very common on

    android platform). It doesn't backup on a file per file basis but data

    as a whole (technically it backups the totality of a partition in a

    single image file), that's why when opening the application in an

    Android device, you will see that there is no option to select a

    specific file to backup.


    When using Orange Backup application, all software plus the data,

    the boot/recovery partition (needed to start any Android device),

    and other very low level data are backed up and can be restored as a

    whole in the future.


    To make it simple, it is like taking a picture of the state of the

    data of your Android device at a given time, and being able to go back to

    this exact state in the future.


    This application is clearly an Android device *recovery* application.


    Because of the main purpose of the application, it seems to me that it

    falls in the class 42 as it is defined in the NICE classification, and

    in particular in section "420175 - recovery of computer data".


    This class is cited in the claim you have sent to Google but is not

    listed in the Community Trade Mark with registration number 8164758.


    The second point that I have noticed is that the brand protected is

    "ORANGE" and not "Orange Backup". Moreover, a simple search of

    "orange" word on the Play Store

    (https://play.google.com/store/search?q=orange&c=apps) shows a huge

    number of application having Orange word in their name. All the one I

    tried are not banned in France. It doesn't match with the reasons you

    gave in your claim to Google (confusion in the mind of the user).

    "We should be grateful if you would remove this app before it damages

    Orange's reputation by causing customer confusion. "


    So it seems to me that "Orange Backup" name is not violating the

    Community Trade Mark 8164758 because the application is in class 42

    and the name is "Orange Backup". So I think that your claim to Google

    have no legal basis which is very unfortunate because you are causing

    me a real prejudice.


    However, even if I don't think I am violating your CTM, I want to

    close this case very rapidly and would agree to a deal.

    [REMOVED SENSITIVE DATA]


    So here is the deal I want to make with your company:

    I would agree to change immediately the name of the application from

    "Orange Backup" to "2BOrange". With this new name there is no risk to

    create any confusion between my application and "ORANGE" brand.

    Moreover, this new name is even farther from the domain protected by

    your CTM. In exchange I am asking you to notify to Google that my

    application is not infringing your brand anymore.


    For obvious reasons, I will keep the community following this

    application informed of what is happening, so they will understand why

    the application is not available anymore through the Play Store.


    Please, answer to this message *promptly* so I will know you are

    taking care of this case.

    Otherwise I will have to take a legal action against your company.



    Best regards,
    ***


    To make it simple, a brand is not protected for everything. You need to declare how you think to use it, and you need to use it the way you have described...

    Fortunately I think Orange's claim is not legally based, and so I have a chance to make a deal with them.

    Indeed, I don't think I am violating their brand because the ORANGE brand is not protected when it is used for a recovery software (you can protect a brand only for certain use).

    Even if I am happy that my case is strong, I am angry for two reasons, :
    - Orange didn't take the time to contact me first!
    - ...and Google didn't check the information provided by Orange, which are false (domain protected by the Brand in the claim does not match the domain protected by the brand as declared at the registration of the brand, it takes few minutes to check!).

    However, I want things to be fixed rapidly and I have asked them to remove their claim if I change the name of the application to "2BOrange".

    I keep you informed of the evolution. Tomorrow I hope to will get some news.

    It s really bad because I have wasted my day in writing the email, correct it and make legal search instead of programming...

    Thank you Google for protecting Indie dev against brand owner.


    Regards

    Edit: in case you care, I am not answering Orange email as a Lawyer but as the developer of an Android application, so I have not to respect the Lawyer French ethic code, and in particular the secret of correspondence.

    Just to continue to keep you informed, I have not yet sent the email, I use to prepare things and wait few hours before sending the stuff on the net.

    I did my jogging and realized that the use of maintenance software category to explain why Orange Backup should be classified in category 42 is weak. There are many way to understand maintenance software. You may say it is the service to keep software updated or something like that.

    So I searched something else, and here came a little miracle!!!

    I re read the NICE guideline, and found something really interesting. There is a category for recovery software in class 42.

    To make it short, they are not protecting the use of Orange word for Software in the class 42. I think it makes my case really strong.

    I am really happy of that finding!

    Moreover I have added an idea from this thread to the email: I have highlighted the fact that there are still tons of application having Orange in their name and not banned!


    Finally, I will write to some blogs what happened, because the system is not fair for indie dev.

    We all now the brand protection concept. There are some abuse, it s well know, and that's not what I want to speak about.

    The real issue here is how Google manage the thing:

    1/ They didn't check the claim from Orange because there is an obvious error inside it (the list of class protected in the claim don't match the real registration, it took me few minutes to check if what Orange was saying was true).
    2/ And the second big issue is that acording to the email from Google it is up to the owner of the brand (Orange) to decide if I will be un banned or not.

    My case is just an example of what can happen where the owner of a brand (big money able to pay to protect a word like the color Orange) abuse of its right.

    And even if Orange is right for some reasons I am not aware today, the system of Google letting the owner of the brand deciding of the future of the other application, it s just a break of the most basic justice rule, you can't be at the same time a judge and a party!

    Because I never read something about this matter, and I thing any dev should be aware of that, I will do my best to make some noise. It has to change!

    If some of you knows an Android blogger, let him know about this story. Anyone interested can contact me by PM if there is a need for more information.
