A backup application for the Android Open Source Project.

Fine-grained progress reporting causes apps to show up twice which is confusing. Also @pm@ metadata and opt-out APKs are too much detail for normal users. So we decided to only show a percentage in the progress notification. When the backup finished, the app now shows "x of n apps backed up" which is more positive when the previous negative message of how many apps were not backed up. Some further minor tweets were done to app counting to report proper totals. |

Seedvault
A backup application for the Android Open Source Project.

- User-friendly encryption using a mnemonic phrase (BIP39).
- Automatic daily backups that run in the background.
Requirements

- Check out the wiki for information on building the application with AOSP.
What makes this different?
This application is compiled with the operating system and does not require a rooted device for use.
It uses the same internal APIs as adb backup
which is deprecated and thus needs a replacement.
