Aptbackup or PkgBackup?

**angiepangie** · 09-13-2009, 06:03 PM

It's a good thing we know some pretty smart mac users

And no it doesn't

It took me a couple hours to restore, sync, pkgbackup, try to fix the problem, restore again, sync again, and manually install my cydia apps

Only a couple? Took me longer than that!

**angiepangie** · 09-13-2009, 06:21 PM

Haha. I spent the first hour or two trying to figure out how to get past that stupid error...
I had to leave my phone at home hooked up to my laptop...
Went the whole day without my iPhone.. it was torture..

I'm gonna send the pkgbackup dev an email so that it's fixed before I have to update.

**angiepangie** · 09-13-2009, 06:52 PM

lol. Yeah.. and I just bought it..

**Cory Gillmore** · 09-13-2009, 07:06 PM

Don't worry. He's really good about supporting his app. He'll get it fixed. Hopefully before 3.1 JB is readily available.

It shouldn't matter between firmware versions unless something you have now is not compatible with 3.1

**angiepangie** · 09-13-2009, 07:12 PM

haha. that's too late for me still

That app wasted a couple of my hours yesterday.

No.. I redownloaded everything I had before and set it up exactly like how it was before... only manually.
Now everything's all good.
3.1 is awesome.. everything is snappier and much smoother.. and app management is awesome

**Cory Gillmore** · 09-13-2009, 07:28 PM

So are you guys beta testing the new tools from the dev team or something?

**angiepangie** · 09-13-2009, 07:30 PM

IDK about Stealth...
But me & Confucious are just special like that

**Cory Gillmore** · 09-13-2009, 07:32 PM

I wish I was special.

**angiepangie** · 09-13-2009, 07:37 PM

Trust me.. I've worked hard to become this special

**Cory Gillmore** · 09-13-2009, 07:40 PM

Cool cool. I guess we'll all find out sooner or later. I just wish the DT kept everyone more posted.

**angiepangie** · 09-13-2009, 07:46 PM

I don't really see what else there is to update people on..
They're working on it... they don't have the time to write out an indepth review of how they're doing.
And there's no ETAs because every time they give out an ETA.. it's chaos..

**Cory Gillmore** · 09-13-2009, 07:52 PM

Yeah, I guess you're right.

pkgbackup really doesn't seem to like FW change...

it's probably that you are attempting to restore an app/package that is incompatible with 3.1! remember, pkgbackup *doesn't* know which app/pkg is incompatible with *any* firmware. it's your responsability.
Btw, i'm pkgbackup developer. I can be reached at: [email protected]. Or on twitter: jibrilg

@jibrilg I re-installed all the apps manually that pkgbackup actually backed up and it worked fine.
It was only when I restored with pkgbackup that it got me stuck in safe mode..

(you need to follow me on twitter to send me a msg, i think!?)
i see that you have FW 3.1. I'm almost certain that you must've installed an app/pkg incompatible(yet) with 3.1.

I love being right angiepangie

**angiepangie** · 09-15-2009, 12:11 AM

Okay.. How would you explain the fact that I re-installed EVERYTHING I had before and it works fine?
