v3.5.0_Beta1: Changelog
v3.5.0_Beta1
Release highlights
- New features: App labels, Custom app backup & restore configurations and Multiple backup schedules
- Local batch backup/restore of apps is now Ad supported and available for non-premium users. App cloud backups are now a premium feature. Non-premium users can still restore existing app cloud backups.
- Experimental support for pure AOSP/MigroG/GAPPs-less ROMs (More details below)
🏷 App Labels
Create labels for your apps and use them in filtering the app list, creating custom app backup & restore configurations or setting a scheduled backup for specific labelled apps.
🛠 Configs: Custom backup & restore configurations [Advance/Rooted users only]
You can now customize every backup and restore setting for apps depending on the labels. For example, you want to encrypt only some of your apps or you want to upload only some of your apps to cloud.
First, create and set labels for those apps accordingly and then set custom backup/restore settings based on these labels.
⏰ Multiple backup schedules
Create multiple schedules for your apps, messages and call logs. Schedule feature has been revamped with more customizations as requested by many power users. Want to backup to cloud only once a week, or backup apps using multiple quick actions? That is now possible.
App schedules are now even more powerful with the integration of the new features mentioned above. In addition to setting up app schedules by Quick actions, you can now add schedules based on App Labels or Configs.
🧪 Experimental support for pure AOSP/MigroG/GAPPs-less ROMs
Swift Backup now supports signing in using a supported browser (Chrome recommended). This essentially removes any built-in Google apps requirement that we had until now and it can now run on any ROM (Android 6-11) without GAPPs.
Since such ROMs do not support Google Play purchase verifications, to use premium in SB:
1. Purchase Swift Backup's 'Lifetime' plan using a supported ROM with working Google Play Store.
2. Share the purchasing Google account email id with us at support@swiftapps.org and we'll activate premium for that account within 24 hrs.
IMPORTANT:
- On any ROM without Google apps, you can only use premium if you sign-in in Swift Backup with the Google account with which you purchased the 'Lifetime' plan.
- Make sure you purchase the 'Lifetime' plan using the Google account you want to use in Swift Backup.
⚠️ Old WebDAV based options will be removed in future updates after a few months
New WebDAV options have been added with 'New' suffix and they have some core changes w.r.t. stability and convenience.
Please remove or restore your backups taken with older WebDAV options (Custom WebDAV, ownCloud, Nextcloud, CloudMail-Ru) and start using the new WebDAV options soon.
Batch restoring Wifi is now back with Android 11 [Rooted users only]
Thanks Shane Synan for the tip. So the current batch restore situation for WiFi networks is as below:
- Android 6-9: Possible without root
- Android 10: Not possible even with root (There are other unofficial tactics but SB will not support those)
- Android 11: Possible with root
Other changes and improvements
- Apps: Simplified navigation for UI pertaining to apps. Clicking on apps from 'Home' now directly opens the apps list. New features like App labels, Configs can be found in the navigation drawer.
- Apps: Added support to batch enable/disable apps
- Apps: App quick actions can now be pinned/unpinned from Home
- Apps: Backup special data like background data and background restriction setting of an app
- Apps: Added support for abbreviated search (Eg. searching 'cod' now includes Call of Duty in search results)
- Added French translation
- Cloud: OneDrive option is now visible to all and no longer needs to be enabled from Settings > Swift Labs
- Standard zip encryption is now removed and only AES encryption options are available for your backups
- Now all your Swift Backup app settings are backed up to our firebase servers in addition to Schedules, App blacklist, App labels and Configs.
