Restore #26

Open Stonedestroyer opened 7 years ago

Stonedestroyer commented 7 years ago

Is there anyway to restore the database, I copied over the folder inside data/app as root and also the saved fanfics that are .htm, but how do I put this together on a new device as I don't currently have root on that one or is it not possible?

If you don't have an access to older device (so you cannot create adb backup of it), you may need to generate it by yourself. Looking at step 6 here, you will have to create .tar file with app files, use https://sourceforge.net/projects/adbextractor/ to create adb compatible backup and then restore it with adb restore.

The problem is, I don't know how structure of those .tar files will look like, so you probably have to take a sample backup of any app on any device, extract it, using guide I linked before, to get .tar and analyze it to make similar one.

TL;DR it's possible, but may take 0,5-1,5 hours. It may be faster to root new device or manually open each .htm file and search for corresponsive story
