Features:

• Restore any file that has not been written over
• Works with documents, images, video, music, archives and binaries
• Save files directly to Dropbox and Google Drive

For free, the app will only restore image files. Buy the key to unlock full functionality - undelete any supported file type, remove ads and allow background scanning.


FILE TYPES:

Journal scanning can discover files with any conceivable extension. Essentially these files are still on your volume with their data in previously allocated sectors. This type of scan is not available in RFS-derived file systems.

Deep scan heuristically scans for and recovers the following types of files: BMP, JPEG/JPG, PNG, MNG, JNG, GIF, MP4, AVI, MKV, MP3, OGG, OGM, WAV, FLAC, AMR, MP4A, PDF, SXD, SXI, SXC, SXW, ODT, ODG, ODS, ODP, DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, ZIP, JAR, APK.

This list will be expanded in the future to include other kinds of files.

NOTE: Some files that are discovered after a scan may fail to recover as the data can be corrupted beyond repair, just like desktop based solutions. Similarly, files that are recovered may fail to open or play back due to degeneration. If your files are not working on your device, try to open them in desktop programs, they may be salvageable!

Please reprot any issues during this beta!

Thank you for this excellent app. I found the link in your beta forum to the xda resource. So far it is proving very reliable but i notice that in the old version it was possibble to multiselect in different tabs or the scan results and then restore.

How to do this here? Every time is scroll it my selectgion is gone... other than that this is the best unerase app. Very useful for the movies on my many microsdhc cards.

Thank you in advance.

HTC One M8 stockish ROM - no /sdcard nor /sdcard2 access shown. Just /data and some of what appear to be firmware partitions.

Interesting! Thanks for the feedback. Can you please post a screenshot of the volume selection, expanded? Let's see if we can fix this for today's release.

Yeah attaching one picture, I'll write out all the selectable options since they scroll off

Internal Storage /data
/carrier /dev/block/mmcblk0p37
/custdata /dev/blck/mmcblk0p22
/fataldevlog /dev/block/mmcblk0p37
/firmware/adsp /dev/block/platform/..cc 1/by-name/adsp
/firmware/radio /dev/blocks/platform..cc.1/by-name/radio
/firmware/wcnss
a couple of others getting loopy typing

I will point out that this time /mnt/media_rw/ext_sd appeared. It did not before. No idea. So now all I'm potentially missing is the internal sd mount (unless it's under data)

Ok thats great, thanks. I think probably you just didnt notice it the first time round. If you can though, try to replicate this and double check by uninstalling and installing again.

I assume that "/mnt/media_rw/ext_sd" is at the bottom of the list somewhere right? So i cant see it? And thats exactly how its written? you can try to sccreenshot it in landscape.

Re the internal storage, it is indeed mounted as /data. Theres a simple word parsing mechanism we use to deduce which are the "important" partitions, so sometimes strange mount points can be the problem - something easily fixed!

Im sending you a PM with a link to a dev branch apk, please test it and see if storage is properly detected. You will need to uninstall the play version first, then install the new apk. Please let me know how it goes in this thread rather than via PM.

Thanks in advance!

Beta apk working just as well thanks. Good job.

Thank you for the feedback! I will push the beta to production as soon as mildlydisturbed gets back to me!

The version you pmed me now shows internal storage and external storage when I start up (although the other did the second time)

Internal is /data
External is /mnt/media_rw/ext_sd

Looks like the internal SD card is showing as /data/media/0

Only things I might suggest is a little note to users that expect that to be /sdcard/ to tell them that it can be under data, and also an animation while it's searching for files - the progress bar doesn't feel like it's ever moving and a couple of times I've wondered if the thing had locked up.

The time estimates seem way off - started with an ETA of 2 minutes, progress bar is I guess 1/3rd of the way through and the ETA is 11 minutes.

Other than that looking pretty decent - considering it for an article on Pocketables.com when you get the newest one released, if you're not adverse.

 

[rootcid]

Ok so when you open the volume selection page, without it being expanded you see two entries - "external" and "internal", with their respective paths right? Good, perfect. Re the note i dont think its necessary, most rooted users will know that /data is their internal storage mount already, and since we call it "Internal" for them, unlike all the other volumes, they shouldnt have trouble with it. Besides, theres nowhere to put these notes.

Regarding the ETA, the progress bar and the sector scanning. The way the scan works, its not actually possible to compute an accurate prediction because most sectors are reexamined and parsed multiple times by multiple threads. Also, contiguous unallocated sectors may be mixed in with sectors marked "deleted" by the system, causing the scan speed to fluctuate as scan technique adapts to the sectors it reads. Not sure much can be done about the ETA here. Youll find that its the same for all the desktop apps (on android were the only ones who ported the classic linux scanning code, all the other apps use a weak/inaccurate method).

The progress bar ditto, but when i have time i will try to make a visualization based on a (albeit unrealistic) square sector map - its a lot of work so not quite at this stage.

Re Pocketables. Yes i would be very glad if you wrote something! I will let you know as soon as the production version is released. It will be propagated to Play over the next 24 hours, so ill contact you and let you know.

Thank you for your very helpful feedback! And do have a look at some of my other apps, theyre pretty good. Like Ditalix and RCB and Private Place
