Store apks using their original package names #47

Closed thelazyoxymoron closed 1 year ago

thelazyoxymoron commented 1 year ago

I had recently backed up my android device using the tool, however I noticed that all the apks were backed up using a random identifier. This made it harder to selectively install applications. It would be preferred if we backup using their original package names.

This was actually how the script used to work, but it caused a lot of bugs and complications so it was removed. I'll see if this can be re-added once I have some free time. A workaround is to let Linux Android Backup restore all your apps and then delete the ones you don't want to use.

If uniqueness was the issue, maybe we can add random numbers at the end of the package name?

Done, thanks for reporting.
