Nice
If you like the app give us a like

And if you have Suggestions don't hesitate

I wanted to give the app a try, but after extracting the archive file, it complains about missing a file manager.

On my LOS17.1, there *is* a builtin file manager as well as total commander. Will there be a fix for that?

Excellent.

Can I expect to be able to restore selected apps from the backup?

 

[hyborian]

I tried this, and it says a file I chose got extracted. I go and view the results, zero. Tried other files, all zero

My TWRP Backups are all compressed, is that the reason why ?

I doubt this, since otherwise you would have not been able to browse the content.

Current TWRP backups are simply gzip-compressed tar archives. Restoring apps is a bit more complicated, though. The ownership attributes of the restored files need to be modified according to the current installation.

I agree about ownership attributes. Well, there are no contents "extracted" by this app, on all my phones. What I see on this app are what I can already see using a File Explorer. At least I can open up the file in a file explorer, although it shows machine-language info.

On the old Nandroid Manager app (still working I think), I can extract apps, although the TWRP backup has to be uncompressed (i.e. compress option not selected in TWRP settings when doing TWRP backup). Uncompressed not an option for me, as I have automatic TWRP backups run every other day, always keeping 3 backups at a time.

So was just curious to see what this app can do.

It could also that the backup is compressed and it will not be extracted cause it is a gzip compressed i think

I will try to fix it in the next version

Yeah, there is an uncompress feature in version 2.4.1, but at least in my case, it did not work.
Maybe due to the fact that now sha2 is used instead of md5?

Anyway, I am looking forward to try this app.

 

[Shadow Of Leaf]

for restoring apps from backup i thinks it maybe diffucult
because when TWRP create Backups it make a lot of parts so the apps will be random in the parts

let me check what i can do with that

I was excited when I came across this thread and app, but it can't find my backups. It shows the TWRP backup folder and all the subfolders, but the backup files themselves don't appear in the app. Sad face.

That weird

Go to your file manager and to backup folder and see what is the backup extension (.ext4.md5) if it is that it has to work

Compressed TWRP Backups are now extracted normally i guess

need tests to see if it work well or not

New release include

Fix extraction folder and support f2fs extension

[Shadow Of Leaf]
