Anyone know of a tool to clone a device for later restore or duplication to a like device?
I need to build 5 Onn boxes setup identical. With computers we use cloning software after building a master. Would be great to have something like that for these boxes.
It would also help as a restore point when an app goes sideways.
What I do is make my own Unlinked store to have a backup of the Apk’s I like, And I can setup android box’s with it.
What I would use would be unlinked https://unlinked.link/ Make an account. It will give you a personal code to access your store. Then make an account at Dropbox to Host your files.
https://www.dropbox.com/
Google images, if you want to add an icon.

When you start adding your files to unlinked you have to change the very end of the URL from. dl=0 to raw=1 Or it will not download. Good luck works for me.
Thank you for the unlinked tip.
I started building a toolbox page like Troy’s but maintenance is difficult.
I’m fond of ATV for the GUI and tvQuickActions for buttons. Both I believe offer a config backup function but I’ve never gotten that to work. Would really be nice for the tvQuickActions.
I used LocalSend based on a recommendation from TXRon. It was easy to use. However, It doesn’t keep app settings.
LocalSend >> Share files to nearby devices. Free, open source, cross-platform
There was a long discussion on this thread that included cloning. ADB AppControl >>> tweaking tool
I’ve used Local Send a few times now and it works great
Me too, I used it this morning.
A lot of options to help quickly grab apks, local send does work well and can go from windows to android if needed also. I still prefer just staying logged into a cloud account on my file explorer and saving the apks there. It is my favorite way to link all my devices together in that regard, and i also use it to save my modded m3us and can apply changes quickly to each device.
Sounds like a great way to stay on too of things. But, thats above my techincal skill.
