Hello Android Developers, I wanted to know if it is possible to copy the raw data of the internal phone storage to the sd-card of the phone (or to some other device, maybe through internet/ usb/ bluetooth connection). Maybe even further, could users then read the raw data, so they can recover what they lost?
The reason for me to ask this is that i had to wipe my G1 and read about recovering data, but there seems to be no way - not a the moment at least. Furthermore I found that quite a lot of people didn't make a backup of their data (for whatever reason) so they can't access it anymore and have no hope to do so, even in future, which i find pretty sad and frustrating for the user. Probably there will be even more people who want to recover internal phone storage data as Android grows more popular and spreads wider (which i am very sure of). Depending on the possibilities, I possibly will try very hard to write an application or programm (if the device is connected to a computer) to get that data back and eventually maybe even, at least parts of it, readable. I _don't_ want to simply copy the internal storage data, but read _all_ the internal storage content, even if it's not used by Android anymore because the phone has been wiped, and copy _that_ so the user may be able to decrypt (if it is encrypted) the data and read his old "erased" data (like contacts, sms, application data, calender data, etc.). I don't know how hard it really is, but i know it's not going to be easy and i won't get discouraged by some people who only say "it's impossible" or think that I am not skilled enough to do this. So let me hear your rating for the possiblities and tips, opinions, help, maybe there are even some people here who would like to see something like that.
