    Hey
    I want to take the firmware (With apps and included data)on one of my android sticks and put the exact replica on another device.
    Is this possible at all?
    Thanks

    If the device is the same then yes, otherwise use titanium to backup apps and data

    Do you have a custom recovery on the device you want to replicate?? ClockworkMod recovery or TWRP

    If you have, you could try a Nandroid backup, which will make an exact copy of your stick...is it an Android mini TV stick??

    Then you could try installing/flashing this through the custom recovery on the second device....

    not sure if all your partitions will be backed up, depends on what option you choose, and if these backed up partitions will transfer properly to your second device....

    partitions include boot/cache/data/recovery/system/ and possibly some more.....

    it would be an interesting experiment, but you should be prepared to possibly end up with a mini brick!!!!

    Yes its an Android Mini TV Stick.
    I might try this later today. Is installing the custom recover on the devices time consuming?
    What im trying to do here is cut down on time it takes me to install the custom software on each of these devices.
    Thanks

    I would go to

    http://www.freaktab.com/

    It has the most up to date info for minis.....including Roms and recoveries.....

    I would not know if there is in fact a custom recovery for your particular mini.....it usually entails flashing custom ROM too, and that us done initially by flashing using the flashing tool, which is like using the tool for Chinese tablets..... a bit persnickety....

    Check out that suteo, more there than here!!
