'''Back in the day Helium Backup & Restore used to work pretty well. However, since the app hasn’t been updated in ages, I’ve noticed that the restore function has been malfunctioning for most. So recently, I was able to find a work-around for that and now that I’ve tested and approved the new solution I’m willing to share my findings with all.'''

'''But first things first. Before we start you'll be needing :'''

1. Pc with ADB + drivers (for both your old and new devices)  (tutorial here: https://wiki.lineageos.org/adb_fastboot_guide.html (check section “Installing adb and fastboot”)) '''2. Old device with Helium free app + pc with Helium Desktop application''' (tutorial here: https://goo.gl/iw1eZG (check “HOW TO USE HELIUM TO CREATE BACKUP OF APPS” sections 4 & 5) 3. Both devices with developer mode on + USB debugging activated  (tutorial here: https://wiki.lineageos.org/adb_fastboot_guide.html (check section “Setting up adb”)) 1- Backing up your data: 1.1 Open Helium on your old phone (you most likely need to authorize through the desktop app). Then go through the backing up app list and only check Pocket Frogs, check “app data only” and start backing up to internal drive. Feel free to setup a password if you wish. 

'''1.2 Once done, connect your device to pc and select file transfer mode. Through the pc, access internal storage /carbon and transfer com.nimblebit.pocketfrogs folder to an easily accessible location '''

1.3 Disconnect your old device and you may now uninstall Helium from it if you wish 2- Restoring data to your new device: '''2.1 Search the folder you've just transferred in “1.2” and make a copy of the com.nimblebit.pocketfrogs.ab file that can be found inside. Then access ADB main folder (probably C/platform-tools) and paste it there'''

2.2 On the ADB root folder, shift + right click on an empty space and select “open cmd here”

2.3 Connect your new device and make sure USB debugging is activated 

2.4 On cmd type :

adb restore com.nimblebit.pocketfrogs.ab

'''Press enter and allow the rest of the restoration through phone. If you have previously set a password to protect your file, you must type it now. Wait for the process to finish '''

'''2.5 Once done, you can now open Pocket Frogs. If all went well you should now see all the frogs you previously had on your old device. '''

'''Done! '''
