I read the description and instantly got hooked. Lol.

However, the app keeps crashing on me. Using a Pocophone F1.

Here's the log. Really want to try this out.

Hi, on my Pixel XL, it only creates zip 2 and leaves everything else in the folder instead of creating zip 1. I've already sent you log files via email. Hope it helps identify the issue.

I've also tried this on my Mi A1 running Nitrogen OS. App starts backing up and crashes without any notice, doesn't create any log either. It does tend to backup all files even after crash but doesn't complete creating a zip file.

So far no luck getting this app to work successfully.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

I am still investigating the issue of zip file not being created. I will check your log report. Thanks.

Backup seems fine but when restoring after setup of new rom (boot after clean flash, magisk, opengapps but not yet finished to setup ((no wifi))) i got error 7 with:
set_progress() expects 1 arg not 2.

Note that helper apk was not installed...

Normally i flash rom + gapps. Boot up the phone & do the necessary setup. Then flash magisk. Is it okay to flash magisk & backup file together. Or it's okay after i finish flashing everything i need .
Click to expand...

The order does not matter. The helper app on system needs the ROM to be rooted. Only after you flash Magisk, the helper app will work properly.

Probable fix coming with version 1.0.5 very soon.

Would you please like to open the backup zip, and upload the updater-script here? It would be really helpful.

wifi networks (like pairs app does) but working on different Android version (Oreo to Pie and versa) would be perfect ?

This is almost exactly what I've been looking for. Hope to see support for all remaining settings (including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and accounts), external SD, and custom paths (I always want everything in `/data/local` copied to my new phone, for example) in a future release.

Peace my brother! We are so happy to see an often useful app.

I would like to report this error, so it would be useful for you.

I got this below error when i tried to perform backup.

I'm on the latest version on 11/05/18.

briliant execution of the idea!
it would be great it in included system apps
sometimes i install an app to system -launcher- i want that to be done out of the box... maybe install system apps as a magisk module.. that would be next-gen backup :victory:

also.. while you at it .. why not make a section to backup every app indvidually - yes like titanium backup - and then add them to zip even if it's not installed on current rom

i know i know.. titanium has that feature ..
it's been broken a while ago and the devs seem to abandon it and even abandoned restoring apps to system.. the app is on the end of it's dev cycle..
to me this app looks promising to be what titanium can't be right now

    Jumping from one custom ROM to another can be a challenging task. So I decided to make an app to simplify the process.

    Introducing
    Migrate!

    Migrate-GPE (v4.0) is on Google Play
    It was temporarily suspended. Read more here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=82230451&postcount=1273

    Download from Google Play Store
    Download from AndroidFileHost
    Download from XDA labs

    migrate_1.png


    With Migrate, you can back up:
    1. App apk
    2. App data
    3. App runtime permissions
    4. Contacts (as vcf file)
    5. SMS messages
    6. Call logs
    7. Current ROM screen DPI
    8. Current default keyboard option
    9. App installer (Migrate 3.0)
    10. Adb state (Migrate 3.0)
    11. Font scale (Migrate 3.0)

    ... everything in one app.

    migrate_3.png

    migrate_4.png


    Ok. So its just another of those backup and restore apps, right?

    Sort of... but with a twist.
    Restoring everything requires flashing the backup via TWRP.

    migrate_recovery.png


    All your apps and data are restored to a directory under /data/balti.migrate, /data/local/tmp/migrate_cache (from v2.0+) and a helper app is injected into the system.. Once you boot up your new ROM, the app will spring up, ask for root permission and do all the job while you can relax.

    Donations:
    Well, the app already has ads, so you need not explicitly donate anything :p
    But if you are feeling reaalllyyy grateful for the app, you can donate here: paypal.me/sayantanrc
    Thanks.

    Migrate Gemini (v4.0) release

    Hello everyone.
    Migrate 4.0 is now released.

    There are 2 editions of Migrate.

    Migrate NG: This is the Non-Google and Beta edition. It is not published on Google Play store. It will continue having in-app updates. Moreover new features will be tested on these builds first. People who did not like firebase analytics, this edition is for you as it does not have firebase SDK anymore. However, Google admob ads are still present.

    Download link (NG): https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=10763459528675575696

    Migrate GPE: This version is Google Play Edition. It is the stable version. It does not have in-app updates anymore as it violated Google Play policies.
    Download on Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=balti.migrate

    Coming from alpha 3.1, if you update via the in-app updater, you will be switched to the Non-Google Edition.

    Thank you.

    Want to translate the app?
    The strings.xml file is available here: https://github.com/SayantanRC/translations

    Telegram group!
    We now have a Telegram group for migrate:
    http://t.me/migrateApp
    This is not to rival XDA but only another form of communication between users and me :)
    Thanks.

    If you are facing issues while flashing, refer to this video: https://youtu.be/0Cp6TNayXnM
    Full manual extract guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=82198185&postcount=1269

    How is this app different from Titanium backup?
    This app is a ROM migration tool. It not only backs up app and data, but also contacts, SMS, call logs etc. Moreover, the restoration process also involves flashing via TWRP. Titanium backup is an excellent app. Migrate just views the restoration process differently.

    Do I need to download the Migrate app to restore the apps?
    No. Only your ROM needs to be rooted. The restoration process is handled by a helper app, which deletes itself after restoring everything.

    Is it necessary to use Magisk?
    The app works best with Magisk. Other options like Lineage OS su addon causes weird errors like incomplete file copy, etc.

    All apps are restored from recovery?
    No. That is not possible. Because Recovery is a completely different environment from Android. Think of it as installing a Windows game from a Linux distro. Instead from recovery, an app is injected into system which takes up the restore process when android boots up. Most things are automated, so you need not worry much.

    A quick word on SD card support...
    SD card support in v2.0 requires a Magisk module "ExSDCard Access Enabler", made by developer Romain. According to him, this module requires FUSE support on ROMs. FUSE is supported on some ROMs as a legacy feature as Android has moved away from FUSE to SDCARDFS. As such, the current implementation may or may not work based on your device and ROM.
    If it does not work for you, please wait until either the module developer rewrites the module :p or I find a different implementation :) Thanks for your patience.

    Just posting this for everyone to know.

    An alpha build of Migrate 3.0 should be ready by the end of this month. The version should support Android 10, and will come with new features.

    In the main app, backup and all new features are fully operational. But the helper app is not ready yet. I am working on it. That should be ready by this month.

    Please hold on a little. Thank you for your support. ?

    Hi @SayantanRC ,
    actually I'm a TWRP developer and i'm working on a lot of devices and recently a bit of users starting to tell me that they can't flash their migrate backups, so I found myself investigating a little and at the end i found the problem: in the migrate zips that migrate app creates, there are some commands that use busybox that actually is deprecated and not more used in TWRP. Can you please use generic commands or make a choice to use toybox instead of busybox?
    For example this command:

    run_program("/sbin/busybox", "umount", "/data");

    Can be replaced from this one:

    unmount("/data");

    Or another option is to include a fully busybox set of binaries in the migrate zips so they will be independent. If you need some help or explanations contact me.

    P.s. i already sent also a mail to your play store supprot email.
