Hello Guys and Gals,
I have a problem. My father is going from Android 2.0 to Android 4.0.4. He has alot of notes he took on Memo and wants to transfer them to the new phone. I have backuped all his files on the sd card and external to his new phone but I am having trouble finding both the current app for Memo and the files that contain the notes. I have looked for the creator of the app but its no where to be found on the phone. I rooted his phone long time ago. Super user doesn't function anymore so I cant TB. Any ideas on how to get his notes working? If you need any other info, let me know.

So. Your father went from a captivate (galaxy s, I belive) to an atrix with ics?
What kind of app is Memo, does it came preinstalled or downloaded from playstore?
Usually, all the data files for an app are on /data/data/<appname>
You can download another superuser app from playstore (SuperSu I think was one).

The memo app is the default one. I have already tried installing the different Super Users but they all don't work when I log into TB. I will have to look in that folder. I still need to find that app so I can restore his notes on the new phone.
Ok. Seems to me the only way is re rooting the device. The data dir isn't accesible without root. Then you should be able to use tb to transfer the app

Hello...
So i upgraded from the Captivated to the S2 and I am able to root and move my apps using titanium backup. I have a few documents in the memo app that didnt make it to the S2. I tried using titanium backup to restore the data for memo 1.0 and that didnt work. It made launching the memo app FC. I also tried restoring the app+data and that also made the app FC.
I also tried sending it via bluetooth from phone to phone. But I get this vnt files that i cant seem to import in.
Has anyone successfully move the memo documents before? any insight would be appreciated.. TIA
yes, what i did was copy and paste each note into an email and sent an email to myself then copy and pasted into a new note on my new phone. could be tedious but im sure you spent a lot of time trying to get them copied over using the other methods.
i do believe there is an app in the market that copys ur notes and txt messages. i cant remember where i read / found that, defiantly somewhere on these forums though.
hope that helps!
Wao can't you just use Samsung Kiea to sync all of your notes b/t outlook and your GSII? That is what I do.

Okay so i have this really old phone (Samsung Captivate) with a really awesoem clock app. But its a system app and i want to install it on one of my other phones (Galaxy Nexus) as a user app.
They both are NOT running stock ROM. In fact the Cappy is on 4.2.1 and the Nexus on 4.2.2.
Not a big differnece, right? So i presume this would be possible.
Before you ask, i did do research on this and found nothing but moving one user app from one phone to another phone as a user app, etc. Nothing with moving a system app from one phone to user app on another.
If you want i can upload the apk file for you guys/gals to see. Just ask. (My phone is dead at the moment)
Thanks,
Jack
Surely yes. Try it (copy the apk to the GNexus and launch it with your file manager).
so all i do is install as if a normal apk?
gonna go ahead and try it

Dear Jack
Can you modify a app name "auto call recorder" for install to other android device.
Its system apk and just transferring it to another android device for installing , its not installing(Please note : device administration for unknown source is on)
I rooted a about a week ago and like 3 days later I got this message whenever I tried to use the Music app that's built in. Since I couldn't restore it or anything I decided to restore the phone to factory default and start all over again. Then I rooted once again and about 3 days later I started to have the same issue, same error. Now Im using google music, but I dont like it and I can't seem to find a way to restore it.
Im running VRUAME7 update, backed everything up with titanium, but when I try to restore the app it doesnt work, I deleted bloatware from the music, but was very careful about not deleting anything that could affect the Music app, so I'm not sure what's going on, and hope that I can find an answer here.
By the way who is the maker of the Music app, I couldn't find it anywhere, but I don't think that it is Samsung.
Anyways, thanks.
Are you using xposed?

When you say backed up everything, do you mean including the system apps? do not back up and restore system apps, ever.
And yes its made by samsung.

Yeah I used titanium back up to back up everything that I had in the phone at the time, just in case. Why is it not a good idea to restore system apps. I am new to all these things so I may not know much. Thanks.

Hi ??
1.open /system
2.create a folder with this name=>preload
3.cut your smusic folder which exists in app or prive-app and paste it into preload folder
4.delete the lib and arm folder in smusic folder
5.if the music folder and its app have another name, rename both into smusic.pay attention that they need to have similar names.
6.this method only works in Rooted devices.
7.reboot your device and enjoy ☺ ☺
8.I'm not responsible for problems and another issues
pardon me, but i'm pissed. I started fiddling with this thing yesterday with no luck now i've just spent the past 5 hours with this crap...i upgraded from the s3 and have no fkn idea why they've made some features so fkn difficult....excuse my language.
here's my problem, before changing phones i used mybackup to backup sms, mms, call logs, contacts and apps. Well after searching i see the reware directory needs to be put in the legacy/emulated folder....i did that but mybackup still can't see it. No problem, i'll do everything with good old Kies...but i can't find kies on the S5, market or samsung store. i've tried every fkn thing...i plugged in my old phone and downloaded easy back up and some other crap that's for rooted phones only. i can't find the easybackup directory. i downloaded some wifi transfer apps and the free ones have transfer limits...
can someone please help me before i throw this fkn phone and break it? thanks and btw my s5 and s3 aren't rooted.

First a question: Are you afraid of rooting/tripping knox?
Answers: 1) Root will help with this. Get titanium backup PRO, but it requires root. I have been using it for I don't know how long.
2) Root will help with this. The S3 can be rooted and then returned to stock for your backing up needs. Once you root the S5 for your restoring needs, knox flag will trip and stay with you.
3) Calm down! Read the above answers again and think about it. He He good luck
I use My Backup Pro and if I'm not mistaken only the pro version will restore from one phone to a different phone. I'd also suggest using the cloud option. I backed up my S4 and restored to my S5 in minutes using the cloud and did not attempt it on a memory chip. It's also possible that KitKat security changes might make reading the data from the chip a problem. I am also not rooted yet.

Good idea to try the cloud, I never tried that.
KitKat only messed up the WRITE to SD card permissions, there's an app that restores it though on the play store. READING from the SD card to restore your backups and other things is not a problem even without the fix.

Super Backup from the play store is great for backing up and restoring all your messages, contacts, and call log. It saves them as tiny XML files, and even gives you the option to e-mail it to yourself. Then you can restore it just as easily in the app on the new phone. You can browse for the file, so you don't have to worry about where it's saved. Just e-mail it to your gmail and download it right back on the new phone.
I used this method for myself (I have the stupid AT&T variant that is going back soon, no root, no hope, no nothing) and friends and family with no root.
As for the apps, I just let Play Store reinstall it it whether it's after a full wipe and install of a ROM or moving to a new phone.. But if you have certain apps that can't be obtained from Play Store, and since you obviously don't have Titanium Backup having no root, Super Backup can also backup the apps, then browse to the backup folder for the APK files it saves and move it over manually. Use a file explorer to open the apk and install.

thanks for the advice, but i'm not rooting right now. this is my 7th Android phone, i rooted the first 5, but i didn't root the s3 and have no plans of rooting this unless there's some incredible features that i really desire. i use to root back in the day to get the features that now come stock. Most of the things i dreamed of having on my phone now come stock, so i now don't see much need to root. Besides i have nightmares about the last 2 devices i rooted....gps no longer worked, phones started rebooting by themselves more often (every android i had did that but after rooting it seemed to happen more often)....i got tired of doing camera fixes, gps fixes, bluetooth not working.......i don't know, maybe the game has changed in 2014 and roms are more stable. I was deep into that starting with my g1, then my Nexus (the very first Nexus, i paid like $500 for it). I respect the developers and those who root their devices, i just don't see much personal need for it with these megaphones on the market in 2014.
What would rooting my S5 this early give me? Its currently fast enough, smooth, i love the camera, everything works like a charm(gps, bluetooth, etc...), my battery is CURRENTLY lasting all day with heavy use (i'm no fool, i know that wont last forever, especially coming from the another samsung phone). With all the widgets and things i have, i don't have a desire to root, maybe months from now, i'll get bored with the phone and see some good features....but rooting now.....you care to share your favorite features that a rooted S5 is currently bringing?
thx

do you know the name of the app that restores it? also, Strychtnine, i have mybackuppro, but saved the backup to sdcard...i no longer have another phone so i can't backup mybackuppro online. i used easy backup and saved to google drive, thankfully I was able to restore my sms, mms and call logs....unfortunately many of my contacts didnt restore, i never had that issue with mybackup, its always been my preferred and most trusted backup app dating back to the G1.
A couple other questions while I have a few of you in this thread.
Where is Kies? is it no longer available....i used it heavily with the S3, i don't see it on the s5, playstore, or samsung store. Is there another free app that will allow me to view files on my computer and make changes like Kies? Wifi Transfer is cool but it has a very small transfer limit (i think it was like 10mb or something). I'm not into Google Drive, i use it for hosting music but its a pain to me....first 100mb takes around an hr to upload, then i have to download it on my phone, which takes another few minutes. I honestly prefer the good ole days of plugging the usb to the computer and boom! By the way, has that feature returned with the s5? i plugged usb to computer but it says can't find software. I searched online for s5 drivers and can't find a thing. Any suggestions? i took several pics that i want to send to computer, i don't feel like using google drive, with gmail, i'd have to attach all the files then download them.....i wish i could just connect phone to computer (usb or wireless) and copy/paste files. thanks

I feel what your saying about the past devices and the problems that Custom Roms can create. Root however is different. I use root to run apps that require root i.e., Titanium backup, Greenify, GSAM battery, etc...
Kitkat 4.4.2 and probably Android going forward is some what weird if you think about it. It brought great features like being able to turn off apps (bloat) that you don't use in manage apps, and allows moving apps to the sd card...But on the same note they crippled the SD card write permissions for what reason? Oxymoron? So again here you need root to be able to edit the permissions file or use that SDfix https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.sdfix from the playstore. Note the first thing In the description is ROOT REQUIRED.
I also like Xposed and modules which allows me to customize certain things without needing a custom rom. Note that Xposed is causing some people problems with lag, S health, and Private mode not working.
I have two S5's both with root. On one S health works but Private mode doesn't. NO noticed lag.
The other one however, has extreme lag and freezing, and both S health and Private modes broken don't know why the difference. I don't use S health nor Private mode so no problem there but the lag was terrible so had to uninstall Xposed on the second one. Root alone doesn't break anything.

Kies 3 is available I don't see it on the phone which is good it connects right up once you plug up with computer. http://www.samsung.com/sg/support/usefulsoftware/KIES/JSP . Make sure you select the install for the NEWER phones Note 3 and newer I think it says.

I just plugged it in and windows 7 installed the drivers right away...Maybe once you install Kies above it will install the drivers for you... The S5 actually come with USB 3.0. If you have USB 3.0 on your computer the transfer speeds will be insanely faster than previous phones. Why use Kies just use windows explorer for transfers, Kies just becomes a middle man!
Hey everyone,
My wife just got a new S4 as a replacement for her old one. The S4 is Verizon, running the newest OTA. I have used ADB to backup all of her pics, etc., but and looking for a way to move data formally between them. Specifically, Im looking for text messages, and app data if possible. Since the phones aren't rooted I have a gut feeling Im hosed, but wanted to make sure.
Thanks!

There's a "SMS Backup and restore" app in the play store that can get your text messages.
For application data, you'll need to be rooted and use something like Titanium Backup.
I believe Kies let's you do that. You can also create an sms backup within the app can't you?

I would use helium, it backs up your app data without root. You just got to hook your phone up to your computer with the helium app on your PC. Then you can back up stuff to you phones internal storage or micro sdcard. Or to the cloud if you get helium premium

Hey everyone,
Thanks for all the feedback. I actually learned that the Android Debugging Bridge has it natively built in. You can actually backup all of your apps, and app data without root. This was pretty cool to learn. I wanted to update this thread in case anyone else had the same question.
