Google backup transport

It syncs 2-3 min late. You should include Google backup transport app

After installing Google backup transport is syncs instantaniously.

Thank you so much for reaching me out. Can you give me more details regarding your actual setup like below?

Phone: OS version: Are you a GApps, microG or NoGoogle user?

Also, is this the application you're talking about? https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-backup-transport/google-backup-transport-9-4832352-release/ If so, does it require any permissions (after giving it proper internet access)? Thank you so much

@GolamRabbany123 can you gently test this testing release? On my side it seems working but I wanna make sure that the module is correctly working.

P.S. In case it's not working, edit the module folder structure under system directory, so that GoogleBackupTransport is under system/priv-app

UPDATE:

I just tried for science purposes uninstalling GoogleBackupTransport and apparently my contacts/calendar syncs after a few secs (like 20). For me it's a reasonable time, but don't know if it's just an issue on my side or you're right and GoogleBackupTransport is needed :P
Eventually can you add the GoogleBackupTransport apk you used? Thx

Really glad to find your reply.

Google backup transport is needed for some devices.I am using COVUS OS (Android 10) on J5 with microg.

I got this Google backup transport from Open Gapps.When trying to get Google calendar sync and Contact sync from the open g apps this Google backup transport came as a byproduct for sync .

Tested the release you mentioned.My calendar sync working fine 😊.Contact sync not working at all. Checked all apps .There is no contact sync app in system app. The APKMIRROR contact sync app you are using is not compatible with all devices. port the contract sync from Open GAPPS micro or nano or else it won't work in many of the devices.

Sweet, thank you so much. I didn't know where to extract those apk since I blindly unzipped opengapps (nano) and didn't found them. Tomorrow I'll check first if the chinese rocket won't destroy my house, then I'll make another release. Are you willing to help me through testing since on my side every Google SyncAdapter I tested (both from opengapps and apk mirror releases) worked? Many thanks and have a nice day ^^

[GolamRabbany123]

I've tried out many versions of Google Contact Sync from APKMIRROR. from my end some apps say unable to phase info and just don't install and some apps install but there is no contact sync.

Calendar sync working fine but contact sync problem goes on.

Have a nice life .May Allah bless you.

[GolamRabbany123]

some workaround :- I flashed the new magisk module you gave me. The Calendar sync ok Contact sync not working.

Open GApps updated the pico arm a few days back.So,I again downloaded pico arm open GApps. From there extracted Contact.tar.lz then converters it to zip with online cloud conversation. There found Contact sync adapter (2.61MB).

Went to root/system/app/Google contact sync adapter ----> found Contact sync adapter (1.23MB) replaced it with the 2.61MB app . Now everything is working fine.

I tried to modify the module zip same as the system but magisk shows Unzip error.

[GolamRabbany123]

I am leaving you with the Contract Sync Adapter (2.61MB).So that it is easier for you to make the module.

@dreamwhite Had the same problem as @GolamRabbany123 , calendar sync working, contacts sync not working. Checked date of the latest comment here with the apk, checked release date. Ok, it's not in the release :) Tried the apk from the latest comment and it worked! Could you add that apk in your magisk module and release a new version? That would spare others the hassle of figuring out how to make contacts sync work.

[dreamwhite]

Yeah sure, I'll create a test release. Can you please confirm it that on your side it works? Also, does the app require any special permission that I can add to the startup script? Thanks

[dreamwhite]

@trohnjavolta I've created a test release. Can you please confirm that it is working on your side? Here's the link to download it: release

Thx for the fast release, I can confirm the test release works perfectly fine for me. Just for context, I'm using lineageos 17.1 microg version on a Galaxy S7.

[dreamwhite]

Nice! May I ask you if you dirty flashed the beta release or you just clean flashed? I clean flashed the module and it worked

[trohnjavolta]

I clean flashed it. had to resore a twrp backup before cause I messed up my playstore.

Oh okay, but did the module caused that mess somehow or what? 😅 Sorry for those questions but if there's the need of pointing out to clean flash the module (basically removing the module and reinstalling it again) I need to know it

[trohnjavolta]

No, not at all :D I deleted data of the playstore cause in app purchases weren't recognized.

Ohhhh okay, then I don't think that the Magisk module can interfere 😅. I've changed the status of the test release from draft to release.
