Yup, that's what I planned.

Please add this feature !!! I'm a testers for Redmi Note 4 so changed rom really often ( 4/5 per day ) and always need to hide all my unwant app (Swift Backup doesn't recognize this backup ... ) Thanks

Maybe it is possible to add this feature on a low level? Like exporting/importing a config file to/from the SD card?

Please add this feature.. Pain to have to redo look etc everytome I reset my phone to clean things up.. Thanks

This feature would be a godsent imo, being able to backup different customized icon configurations etc.

Montell2099 avatar Oct 14 '19 12:10 Montell2099

Hello, please add this features, maybe if I used extra app like sb or tbp, Pro features isn't restore ( and can't be restore )

@billouetaudrey Google does manage in-app-purchases and stores them separately (they're bound to your Google Play account). They're not stored in the app itself. Are you using the same Google Play accounts for both devices?

I changed ROM and when I restore Niagara, I need to clear data and do setting for have pro back 😉

Then Google should automatically "restore" your purchase.

8bitPit avatar Dec 03 '19 18:12 8bitPit

Then Google should automatically "restore" your purchase then.

I will retry when changing ROM again 😃

I would love to be able to manually save the current icon configuration! But it could perhaps also be handy being able to manually backup the entire Niagara configuration.

Montell2099 avatar Feb 16 '20 15:02 Montell2099

Yeah I would like a complete manual backup, Tu easily switch between favourite setups back and forth

eche779 avatar Feb 16 '20 16:02 eche779

Please add also... 😊

Often I reset phone for clean fresh install.. And would be easier to load a saved config.. From the cloud if possible.. Thanks

Export option would be great to switch between multiple restore points for more than one device or so!

Thanks for your feedback :D

8bitPit avatar Feb 25 '20 19:02 8bitPit

Thanks for your feedback :D

Is this currently a low-priority task? I'm playing around with new icons at the moment, and are being reminded of how convenient it would be to save a configuration — so that I then can experiment crazy with a safe option to revert to the previous setup.

@Montell2099 it is, because we're working on something else that would also help you a lot in your scenario :)

8bitPit avatar Jul 29 '20 20:07 8bitPit

Manual backups would be nice.

Niagara should have this features, most of a launcher have this backup/restore. 👍

Yes, indeed. I figure it's a complex system & not something that can be made in a heartbeat. But I sure hope something will be put in place at some time.

The developer has even stated that something helpful will be made available sometime. I'm definitely keeping my hopes up, but not holding my breath.

Montell2099 avatar Oct 17 '20 10:10 Montell2099

I definitely do support manual backups like in Nova/Smart launcher. This would definitely be more reliable compared to what is currently available.

Please have manual backup/restore options, that could help user have different setting per device. e.g. my android phone and my tablet has different setting I need different backup and restore option.

yuping917 avatar Mar 30 '21 01:03 yuping917

Please add the manual backup/restore

ghost avatar May 21 '21 12:05 ghost

manual backup/restore would be awesome for people like me with a degoogled device

lukas-rohrer avatar Jun 12 '21 16:06 lukas-rohrer

Still keeping my hope up in mid-2021 for this feature. 🤞🏼 @8bitPit

Montell2099 avatar Jun 14 '21 06:06 Montell2099

Indeed. that is MUST have feature for those people who has multiple devices.

yuping917 avatar Jun 14 '21 07:06 yuping917

True indeed! It's also a very powerful tool for dedicated power-users—who are keen on changing their look every now and then—to have multiple backup-files ready to load in case of a desire to do a "roll back" to a specific date with a specific setup of icons, widgets, Niagara settings etc.

I hope this issue will get high priority once the pop-up feature is finalized by the devs.

Montell2099 avatar Jun 14 '21 07:06 Montell2099

I would love an export all config option, especially if it included, icons, widgets,and folders.it takes time to set these up,and the ability to use the saved configuration as a starting point on other devices would be a huge plus.

Could you perhaps tease us what this other solution you're working on might be?

I am very enthusiastic about testing out different home screen setups within Niagara. But when I'm feeling contempt with my current setup, I simply do not dare to start mixing things around—just because of how time consuming it would be to restore each icon separately—especially since I mix icons from vastly different icon packs.

Cheers!

I fully agree, I miss this feature from way back when I was using Nova Launcher ~10 years ago and I could play around with different themed setups. Also very handy after a factory reset of ones device.
