plus-twisty-converter

A simple Python3 script to convert plusTimer's history data to Twisty Timer's backup format for easier import/export.

Instructions

• Rooted Android Devices
  • Copy the .json files in /data/data/com.pluscubed.plustimer/files/ using any root explorer, transfer them to your PC and run the script on them. Or copy them to your internal storage and run the script using a terminal emulator like Termux after installing Python3.
• Non-Rooted Android Devices
  • Enable USB Debugging on your device and connect your mobile to a PC.
  • Verify that the device is connected using adb devices. (There are a lot of tutorials in detail for setting up ADB on Windows, Mac, and *nix. I am not going to discuss it here.)
  • Run adb backup -f plusTimer.ab -apk com.pluscubed.plustimer
  • Unlock your phone, don't enter any password and select Back Up My Data.
  • Run dd if=plusTimer.ab bs=4K iflag=skip_bytes skip=24 | zlib-flate -uncompress > plusTimer.tar
  • Run tar -xvf plusTimer.tar
  • The .json files will be there in ./apps/com.pluscubed.plustimer/f/

Installation

Clone the repository with

git clone https://github.com/UtkarshKunwar/plus-twisty-converter.git

or just download the script and use it directly with python3 or as an executable script with chmod.
