How to Recover Uninstalled Apps on Android Devices

It is for a certain fact that Android isn’t as stable as iOS, or Windows Phone, and it does have a lot more crashes and system failures than the other OSes. Believe me, I’m a full-time Android user, and the biggest pain is when you loose all of your data, particularly all of your installed applications.

Android is so vulnerable that, with just a little tap, it can eradicate every piece of the application installed on your device. Your 3-year old might’ve done it, or your sister, due to sibling rivalry (trust me, I know). In any case, the end result is always the same – how do your recover all of your uninstalled applications from your Android device?

While you cannot recover the data stored in it, you can still easily install all the applications using a section from the Google Play Store. This section, without any surprise, is that of ‘My Apps and Games‘ folder, which you always ignore. Once you tap on it, it’ll not only show you the currently installed applications, but it’ll also give you a visual overview of all the applications you have downloaded till date.

Recover Uninstalled Apps on Android

Ensure you’re still logged into the same Google account as before, otherwise, this just won’t work.
Launch the Google Play Store, and tap on the little ‘hamburger’ icon on the top-left corner to pull out a hidden menu. From the list, select ‘My Apps and Games‘.
This will bring you to your currently installed screen of applications by default.
You would want to swipe in from the right to hop into the other section, which showcases every single application you’ve ever downloaded on your Android device.
Now, it is as easy as tapping the icons, and installing them as normal applications.

While this process can be quite tiresome, it is well worth the effort, otherwise, you would have to manually search for a specific application, and then install them.

How to Recover an Unsaved Microsoft Office File

How to Recover an Unsaved Microsoft Office File

One of the most irreversible amounts of pain that go through bloggers like us is not saving a word document before closing it. Not only that, but sometimes our computer decides to piss us off by randomly shutting down, or crashing the one application we need. Whatever might be the case, you might have felt the pain of losing a big document you just finished writing. Well, if it is Microsoft Office, then you might be in luck.

Thanks to the advanced technology of today’s computers, nothing you’ve started doing is ever lost. We see numerous articles on how to recover deleted files. But this time, the file didn’t ever exist, you didn’t even create it, then what? Well, lucky for you, Microsoft Office has been saving lives since Office 2007. Okay, jokes aside, you can recover documents that you’ve abruptly lost using the recover document feature in almost all of Microsoft’s Office apps.

In the following guide, we will not only demonstrate how you can recover unfinished or unsaved Microsoft office files but also will be teaching you how to activate a trick that’ll help you in the long run. Without any further delay, let’s start recovering an unsaved document!

Recover an Unsaved Microsoft Office File

For this tutorial, we’re working with the latest and great Office 2016, but we bet, this feature dates all the way back to Office 2007, it’s just the menus which have changed, so you might want to search a bit before giving up.

First off, open up the Office application that you were working on before. For example, if you were working on a presentation, then launch a new presentation slide in PowerPoint, and if you were writing a document, then open up a fresh document in Word.
Click on the ‘File‘ menu you see on the top-left hand corner. Then, from the many sub-options, click on ‘Info‘.
You will see three main options, the one you’re interested in is the last one. Click on ‘Manage Documents‘, and then from the drop-down menu, click on ‘Recover Unsaved Documents‘.
This will open up a folder, which contains all of your unsaved files till date. Choose the one you were looking, for and then click on ‘Open‘.

Voila! You’ve successfully found a document you lost. Now that you know how to recover an unsaved document, share this trick, and help your friends who think they’re at a loss!

How to Recover From Touch Problem

Team Win Recovery Project 2.x, or twrp2 for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. It’s a fully touch driven user interface – no more volume rocker or power buttons to mash. The GUI is also fully XML driven and completely theme-able. You can change just about every aspect of the look and feel.

CHANGELOG for 2.6.3.0:
-Proper backup and restore of SELinux contexts (thanks to Tassadar)
-Pull in some ROM information for backup name generation
-Merge all recent patches from AOSP bringing TWRP up to date with Android 4.3
-Add 1200x1920 theme (thanks to Tassadar)
-A few other fixes and tweaks

CHANGELOG for 2.6.1.0:
-Initial SELinux support (only a few devices, need testers so come by IRC if your device doesnt have it and needs it)
-Initial support for f2fs file system formatting (Moto X)
-Update SuperSU install for 4.3 ROMs
-Fixed a permissions bug on files created during backup
-Fixed a bug that caused TWRP to not wait for compressed backups to finish causing 0 byte files and md5sums to not match
-Fixed decryption of encrypted data so that both TouchWiz and AOSP decryption are possible
-Ignore lost+found folder during backup and size calculations
-Various other minor bug fixes and tweaks

CHANGELOG for 2.6.0.0:
Special Note: If you are running a custom theme, you will likely need to remove that theme before updating to 2.6.0.0 as your custom theme will likely not have some of the new changes visible (e.g. you wont be able to encrypt a backup)!
-Can encrypt a backup to prevent theft of private data from your backup files
-Updated graphics / icon courtesy of shift
-Updated exFAT to latest commits
-Fixed a problem with Samsung TouchWiz decryption
-Update SuperSU binary
-Fixed saving of backup partitions list
-Fixed saving of last used zip install folder
-Fixed backup of datadata on devices that use a separate partition for datadata
-Fixed some issues with the advanced wipe list (android_secure, can now wipe internal storage on data/media deivces and wipe data on the advanced list no longer formats the entire data partition)
-Fixed some problems with partitioning a SD card
-Various other bug fixes and tweaks

Notes about encrypted backups:
Why encrypt your backups? -- Most people store their backups on the device. Any app that has permission to access storage could potentially read your backup files and try to harvest your data. Encrypted backups also provide an added layer of security if you move your backups to other storage devices or to the cloud. The encryption that were using is probably not strong enough for enterprise level security, but should be strong enough to make it significantly difficult to get to your data.

Encryption is using OpenAES which uses AES 128-bit cbc encryption. If you happen to use a longer password (over 16 characters) then the encryption strength improves to 192 or 256 bits. Do not forget your password. If you forget your password you will be unable to restore your backup. We dont encrypt the entire backup. Encryption is very CPU intensive and can be fairly slow even when we spread the workload over multiple cores even on the latest high-end devices. To ensure that encrypted backups dont take forever, we dont encrypt any other partitions besides /data and in /data we dont encrypt /data/app (or other app related directories where apks are stored) and we dont encrypt dalvik cache.

DOWNLOAD:
The fastest and easiest way to install TWRP is to use the GooManager app:
Play Store Link
Direct Download
1) Install GooManager from the Play Store
2) Open GooManager and provide root permissions
3) Hit Menu (or the button with the 3 dots on your screen) and then Install OpenRecovery

BUGS:
If you have found a bug, please consider posting it to our github issues log. Its pretty much impossible for us to keep up with the more than 40 threads that we have for the devices that we "directly" support. If you have a significant problem that cannot be answered in this thread, your best bet is to PM me directly, contact us via our website, or find us in our IRC channel below. If you see someone thats struggling, feel free to point it out to us. We need your help to help us keep track of all of our devices! Thanks!

How to Recover Deleted Text Messages on Your Android Phone

How to Recover Deleted Text Messages on Your Android Phone

Have you ever deleted a text message by mistake? Did you ever lose an important conversation on your mobile phone? Or maybe someone pranked you by deleting all your messages. Well, there is a good news for you, you can recover those accidently deleted messages on your Android device.

Deleting is not so accurate term when it comes to computers/mobile phones or any other gadgets like these which have memory. When we delete data from the memory actual data remains in the memory we just lose its address/location. We do not lose the data until something is overwritten at that location. So, make sure to perform the recovery process as soon as you discover that an important message is missing from your device, as chances are the location where the message was stored on your memory may get overwrite at any time. It’s best to not install any applications/update or make any changes to your device’s storage once you accidently delete a message and instead follow the steps to recover the deleted text as soon as possible.

Although there are a few apps that work on unrooted Android devices, but you would need root access for most of them. Also, if you have a rooted Android device you would have greater control of the data that could be recovered on your Android device.

There are many tools available that help us recover the data that we accidently deleted. You can find many Data Recovery tools for your Android device, few of them being paid and some being free to use. We have linked a couple of these apps below that will help you easily recover your important data. You will need a Windows/ Mac PC to install these utilities and then you will have to connect your Android phone to your PC to start the process. Follow the steps given below to recover your data.

Note: You would need a rooted Android device to successfully recover deleted text messages from your Android device.

You can find rooting guides to many Android devices on the Rooting Guides section of Our site.

How to Recover My Contacts on Motorola Atrix Android Phone

When a rub arises, I never escape because I want to be a brave, not a coward. Therefore, when I deleted some meaningful contacts in my Motorola Atrix Android phone by chance, I insisted on finding out a way to recover them instead of self-accusation which can only hurt my mentality. Now, my perseverance is rewarded for I have learned how to restore them with the help of an Android phone data recovery app called iSunshare Android Data Genius, and would like to share the minute operation method in this post.

Step 1: Download the app and install it in a computer.

Step 2: Link the phone and the computer with USB data line, and open phone USB debugging.

Incidentally speaking, I turn it on in my phone through Menu/Settings/Applications/Development/USB debugging.

Step 3: Begin the app to scan the phone and load the contacts and messages in.

Tips: During this step, the app undesirably fails to load the data, and it informs that phone drive should be installed and phone root access must be gained. So after checking that the phone drive (i.e. Motorola Device Manager) has been installed in my PC, I directly go to root my phone by means of a root program. Then, after refreshing the app, it continues to load the phone data.

Step 4: Select the contacts from the removed after the data are loaded in the app, and recover them.

More specifically speaking, only choose Contacts on the upper left, select the contacts from the deleted which are presented in red color in the middle and then click Recovery on the bottom right to save them to a specified place in the computer.

The method illustrated by the above steps aids me greatly in recovering contacts on my Motorola Atrix Android phone, so I hope it can be helpful in a widespread range, especially to those who also eagerly want to restore their contacts or text messages on their Android phones.
