Functions:


-Create backup/restore of all your data- your apps, app data, system data.


-Move the apps and app data to your sd card partition and back to internal memory. Just like "app2sd" but with greater powers, it can move almost all apps to sd card partition.


-Uninstall/freeze custom apps that came pre-installed with your phone.


How to use it:


-Download this app from android market.


-Install to your phone.


Note: The phone must be rooted with busybox app and superuser.zip already installed on it. This app requires root permissions and won't work without rooting.


-Open the app. Approve the superuser permission when asked for.

-The main screen will look like this.

-Now you can carry on all the functions.


-To view each app and work on it one at a time, click on backup/restore tab. Long press over an app to open a menu. Select ' Move to SD card' to move the app to Sd card partition. Select 'Move app data to SD' to move the app data too.

-To work on many apps at same time, press settings button on your phone. Select "Batch" from the menu that appears. Now you can handle many apps at same time. Just click 'Run' against the feature you want to activate.

Note: Pay close attention while deleting system installed apps. Don't uninstall/freeze any app if you are not sure what it does. And specially don't touch apps starting with 'com.something' in their name.
