Im working on a Java based tool for this, it doesn’t do bookmarks, but it will yank images/videos, message history, voicemails and call history from encrypted backups. Is that what you need?

Part of all those forms you read and sign will cover issued property that is government property, not your property, and you sign forms about it. They’re very lucky.

I know a lot of you have already heard or read about BDS Movement's call against Microsoft, and felt weird and bad about it all, but decided to move forward as normal because of some degree of ambiguity.
