    <p>Backup and restore settings in Privacy settings is vendor specific. See this code fragment taken from the <a href="https://github.com/android/platform_packages_apps_settings/blob/master/src/com/android/settings/PrivacySettings.java#L65" rel="nofollow">Privacy class</a>:</p> <pre><code> // Vendor specific if (getPackageManager().resolveContentProvider(GSETTINGS_PROVIDER, 0) == null) { screen.removePreference(findPreference(BACKUP_CATEGORY)); } </code></pre> <p>Sony Ericsson replaced conditional statement with its contents and it removes this Preference unconditionally.</p> <p>This code is covered by <em>Apache Licence</em>, therefore SE don't need to supply you source code. If you are live in country, where reverse engineering for this purpose is legal I believe (I'm not lawyer) you can:</p> <ol> <li><p>Pull Settings package from your device:</p> <pre><code>adb pull /system/app/Settings.apk Settings.apk </code></pre></li> <li><p>Decode settings.apk using <a href="http://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/" rel="nofollow">apktool</a>:</p> <pre><code>apktool d -s Settings.apk </code></pre></li> <li><p>In newly created <em>Settings</em> directory you'll find classes.dex. To decompile it using Smali (can be found on code.google.com):</p> <pre><code>baksmali classes.dex -o classes </code></pre></li> <li><p>Finally you are interested in <em>classes/com/android/settings/PrivacySettings.smali</em> </p></li> </ol> <p>You can do same with Settings.apk taken from Android Emulator and compare these two files.</p> <p>I have <em>Xperia mini pro</em> (<em>SK17i</em>) too and that preference isn't there either.</p>
