Hello all!

is there any way by which the whole history of any browser could be saved, or transferred to PC, if a reformat of the phone or/and changing the ROM is intended? any folder in the system files which contains the records of the pages visited, which could be backed up and then restored after the reformat?

- was using maxthon browser, but in it, found no provision to check all the history. it shows the history till only a few days back. would've been good if all of it could've been checked as well as backed up.

- for the stock browser, it seems to show the complete history, but don't know how to back it up. any folder in the system files which could be backed up and later restored?

using the 'bookmarks' feature is tedious, was hence thinking of using this above method, so that could make a note of some webpages later on after restoring the history.

TIA!

Backup the app using Titanium Backup and restore it after format/flashing rom.

a simple step indeed; however, won't be able to install a newer version of the browser until i am done restoring the history i guess (or may be am incorrect here). but anyway, that can be taken care of after all that is done. thanks!
