App: Undelete Beta for Android


Undelete for Android is a small application that allows you to recover files on devices withroot privileges. Despite being a beta, it functions quite well.

Nowadays, smartphones can store a lot of information about our personal lives, professional, etc., but what can we do when we accidentally lose that information?
There are many applications aimed at maintaining and performing backups, but very few areaimed at recovering lost data.

Undelete for Android, is an application for rooted smartphone that allows you to recover any type of deleted file from your SD card or internal storage.

On Android Market we can read the following:
Welcome to the open beta of our newest root application - Undelete for Android, an application for root users that allows you to recover any type of deleted file from your SD card or internal storage. This is the first application of its kind on Android.
WARNING: DATA RECOVERY IS NOT GUARANTEED, welcome to reality. If it doesn't recover or see your files from two years ago, please don't complain.
Features:
- Fast scanning logic

- Restore any file that has not been written over
- Securely wipe/shred files
- Works with images, video, music, archives and binaries

Currently, only FAT is supported. On Tegra 2 devices, only the external SD is supported. We may write a special version supporting EXT4 if this app is successful.
Some files that are discovered after a scan may fail to recover as data may be corrupted.
Be warned: this is an early Beta build, provided "as is" with no support of any kind.
We take no responsibility for any issues that may arise from using the app. In some rare cases attempting to restore files may corrupt the memory entirely (though we have not seen this problem, it is theoretically possible).
That said it has been in development for a while and well tested on the devices we have at the office - Incredible S, Nexus S, Xoom, Transformer, Sensation, Galaxy S I/II, Galaxy Ace, Desire.
INTERNET and READ DATA permissions are needed for the logging system. Logs are only sent manually with your permission through the "Write to us" dialog.

  2. well files in hard drives and memory devices are not really erased the moment you "delete" them, thing is the device or computer just marks it as non existant and the space is available to have information written over, and before that happens that is when you can use programs as these

    technically if you dont write to the device in months, the file should be retrievable

    good to know android has a chance to do that!
