Backing up Android installation
It is really nice to be able to use download all to set up the Android Logos as one wants for offline use. The question is: is there a way to back it up so that one does not have to do it all over again when something goes wrong with the tablet?

I can tell you this: I recently bought a 32GB SD card to replace the 16GB that came with the phone. I backed-up the 16 to a folder on my laptop, copied all the contents to the 32, installed the 32 in the phone, and every worked just as before. Logos found all the downloaded resources (so did Kindle).
Hope that helps.

I tried a more selective approach so as not to overwrite other apps' data with older data. I found the Android\data\com.logos.androidlogos folder. It has a resources folder in it and I could see the files corresponding to the resources I have downloaded. I tried restoring that folder alone and it did not work. I copied it back to the tablet in the same directory and turned on Logos. They did not appear.
I tried rebooting the tablet. I tried going online and clicking update. I tried uninstalling the app first, copying the resources folder and then reinstalling. I waited for the resources update to finish. Nothing worked.
I thought perhaps I needed to restore the entire Android\data\com.logos.androidlogos folder, not just the resources subfolder. That did not work either. In fact, it messed up so much that a fresh installation after deleting the folder no longer worked properly (the download option disappeared and the tablet was sluggish).
So perhaps some of the Logos folks or Android wizards in the forum can tell us whether there is indeed a way that works, a way to just backup and restore previously downloaded resources.
