Technically, you need to run the Android Debugger (adb) in order to dump *everything*. But everything includes the complete operating system... All the Google data can be exported to more usable formats, but the tools for doing that expect to be doing things cloud-side. You can do an awful lot more with an Android device than an Apple IOS these days; I just installed most of Debian Stable to my phone yesterday. Side-by-side with the Android OS; no rebooting or VM encapsulation needed. -dsr- _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
