    v2.4.1 Stable

    izzy released this 2023-03-18 18:34:35 +00:00 | 4 commits to master since this release

    This is a "maintenance release" fixing some issues showing up after v2.4.0 was released (and partly being caused by that). Special thanks to @billie for all his help uncovering and fixing them! Along the lines, some minor improvements were introduced as well.

    • eliminating a duplicate function name causing some files not being pulled properly
    • pulling SMS/CBC caused issues on some devices as not all columns requested were available (or were renamed). Dropped unnecessary ones and added conditionals for the renamed ones.
    • remove an unnecessary su call in pull_data, so device settings can be obtained without root
    • add "wrappers" for output of warnings/errors (so formatting can be easily kept uniform)
    • yield a warning when CACHEDIR was defined but points to a non-existing directory (also "reset" CACHEDIR then to make clear we cannot use it)
    • getAppname() at one place tried writing to cache even if it was not set, fixed that.
    • some more cleanups, typo and other fixes

    v2.4.0 Stable

    izzy released this 2023-03-13 18:34:07 +00:00 | 14 commits to master since this release

    A "feature release" once more:

    • fix: fe36764 broke ROOT_COMPAT when more than 1 device was connected
    • adjustments for packaging (thanks to @6543) including introducing ~/.config/adebar – Arch users can install Adebar via AUR
    • Adebar can now extract several sets of data from your device, which are stored inside the data/ directory of the generated output:
      • SMS, device settings (global, system, secure)
      • with root powers also: call logs, cell broadcast messages, UserDictionary
    • tools/lst2json.php can be used to convert those files to JSON for further processing (if you know about a safe way to do that in "plain Bash" without using any external tools, hints are welcome)
    • exit codes are now defined at the top of adebar-cli so you can easily look them up e.g. for scripting, Cron etc

    v2.3.2 Stable

    izzy released this 2023-01-05 07:52:44 +00:00 | 26 commits to master since this release

    Another batch of little but helpful improvements:

    • add option to specify device serial to scripts in tools/ (ssnap & root backup/restore)
    • implementing root-based backup/restore (set ROOT_BACKUP=1 in your config to use this) for generated backup/restore scripts
    • root backup/restore scripts: add "-n" switch (noAPK) for use with system apps (to match the way we processed it with adb backup)
    • root_appbackup.sh: check whether specified app is installed before attempting to back up

    • add optional argument to tools/getapk so SERIAL can be passed (in case of multiple devices being connected at the same time)
    • pull_config: also look in /system/vendor/etc for gps.conf if not found in /system/etc
