My wife got a referb Pre and I'm having a few issues attempting to restore her stuff... I use a bunch of homebrew backup stuff, and I also rsync the entire phone to my server so have a fairly decent backup of her old phone.
Can anyone explain in detail how exactly the Restore process of the saved package list is supposed to work? Where on the internal media is the list saved such that it can be copied back to a new phone or erased device? On my wifes replacement Pre I copied just about everything on the media back to the new phone, but the new Preware just "Wrote Saved Packages" as soon as it was launched for the first time. I had also previously doctored her phone and the saved list didn't work to restore her apps then either...
I also attempted to use the "Save/Restore" and the "Pre Backup Utility" apps to restore other stuff. Both appeared to work at first, but then later while SMS'ing she tried to add a new contact and got an error, ever since she can't send nor receive SMS messages. When trying to add a new contact, from the contacts app the error reads "There was an error saving this contact. Please try again." when tapping Done, tapping Done again results in a "This contact could not be saved." Error and the new contact page closes.
Also, any idea what the media/internal/.developer folder is all about? I contains a bunch of .ipk's for mostly patches I believe, but I do not think I put them there.. Any idea where they may have come from?
Anyway, I'll be spending the night wiping and re-restoring her stuff so I'm trying to streamline the process...
Update: I think I just managed to fix her issue by restoring her old usr/lib/luna/PalmDatabase.db3 & var/luna/data/dbdata/PalmDatabase.db3 files from my own rsync backup just before her phone was replaced. Followed by an immediate reboot.
Still curious about a simpler way to restore the saved apps list in Preware... (looking...)
