backup = flows have been modified outside automagic?

[evebrea]

I have a flow performing flow/widget backup every 8 hours.. and every time my phone reboots, it claims that the flows have been modified outside automagic and wants to reload them all disabled.. however it reloads them WRONG, reloading my set of flows from several months ago, and i have to delete them all and load a backup. does anyone know how i can fix this?

i'd rather just not have it mess up when i reboot.

Hi,

This has probably nothing to do with the backup flow. It sounds like there might be something wrong with the current installation. Did you install a system backup recently?
Are you using some kind of root-tools or Xposed mods like XPrivacy?

Could you please enable Debug Log and Log to SD card in the preferences of Automagic and execute following procedure:
-create a very simple new flow (can be empty)
-exit Automagic using the back key so that the flows are saved
-reboot the device
-open Automagic
-menu->Manage->Log, menu->Send Log (please also attach the SD log when asked to do so)

Regards,
Martin

i use xposed but not xprivacy.. i'll do all that later tonight at home when having my phone on doesn't matter.

forgot to say i sent that log, from evechanbrea@gmail.com

According to the log it seems that the file with the flows is smaller after a reboot so I guess that somehow the file is indeed modified (maybe some kind of automated backup) or an Xposed module has some strange side effect.

Could you please try the following:
-send the log again to me including the flows so I have an up to date copy
-menu->Manage->Stop Service
-restart the device
-send a copy of /storage/sdcard0/Automagic/flows.xml to me before you start Automagic again

Is it because the backup file is immediately uploaded to Dropbox and deleted from the phone?

[Martin]

Do you create a backup of the flows to /storage/sdcard0/Automagic/flows.xml from within Automagic? I did not see anything in the log of Automagic that you've created such a backup.
Do you use a Dropbox client that automatically syncs/overwrites the flows?

[evebrea]

Yeah there is a flow that backs up a couple times a day,then dropsync uploads the file and deletes the original on my phone

[Martin]

You should not create a backup to /storage/sdcard0/Automagic/flows.xml. Backing up to a different file name or a different location should fix the problem.
Also ensure that Dropsync does not overwrite /storage/sdcard0/Automagic/flows.xml with another flows.xml from the cloud, otherwise Automagic will show the warning the next time Automagic tries to load the flows.
