Really? It expires in a week? No thanks. I’m not a fan of Koush these days. Seems like he’s more interested in the money than anything. I’m not averse to paying for apps, I’ve paid for dozens that I use, but he’s rubbing me the wrong way as of late.

Depends on the device. Rezound and Nexus 7 for instance, you need to unlock the bootloader before rooting, and that wipes the device user memory.

rooting your phone should not mess with app configurations, it is the ROMs added afterwards that you need to worry about. rooting is basically just installing adb and allowing it permissions

I don’t believe Titanium Backup can restore directly from the cloud, and it seems like this does.

I think “Carbon” is a play on “Carbon Copy” or “Carbon paper”

memories of the overhyped Twitter app by a similar title

Thanks for admitting DL was a part of that nonsense.

if you don’t protect/enforce your trademark them you risk loosing them. It doesn’t matter how small the company/person doing the infringement is.

I’m gonna go ahead and believe there wouldn’t be a lawsuit unless he made millions selling this once it’s finished. No major company is going to care about a small free Android application stealing their name.

Edit: Except Apple. I’ve heard they’re planning on suing trees that grow their fruit.

Spyware warning came from our ISP firewall and after I did some research on you I switched to 4G and installed it. Got an error first time but it worked perfectly the second time. Thanks!

Only if you can backup app data without root. I think at this point the only reason I want to root my Note 2 is to backup game data to sync with my N7.

This requires Android 4.0+. I’m not sure why you get a spyware warning. That’s probably a dumb app virus scanner or something.

The troll face is a temporary icon and an inside joke. I haven’t decided on the final app icon yet.

If he can get it to save app settings without root, I would pay a LOT for this app. The thing that always holds me back from rooting is I never want to do it on a brand new device, and by the time I am ready, I have invested so much time in configuring all my apps just the way I like them that I don’t want to lose it by rooting (which is usually destructive to existing data).

No (not yet at least). I use TiBu to backup my apps to the cloud, and DataSync to push app data (mostly just game progress) between devices.
