I'm trying to back up ALL my apps on a Galaxy S7 Edge (stock ROM, unrooted) to be moved to a new LG (so SmartSwitch doesn't work). I used Helium to make a backup, but there were many apps that is said were "backup disallowed". How do I back these up?
Thanks

I recently flashed Loki 2.1.2 and everything went smoothly (as far as I could tell), but I missed having some of these "bloatware" apps such as ThinkFree Office, and I was wondering if there was anyway to restore these apps?
I backed up my apps+system data before I flashed the rom, using TiBackup, but there is nothing I can restore when I try to batch restore (all missing apps/data show up as just 0).

You have a couple of options here. Searching is your friend.
There is Bloater in the Vibrant Themes and Apps section of the forums
and also Android Customization Suite in the Vibrant Android Development section.
Both have the capability of returning bloatware to a phone after flashing a rom or whatever. After restoring the bloatware, go into Titanium Backup and restore the backups from bloatware apps and you will have all your data back.
I currently picked up a S4 from my job and was wondering what is the compatibility of backing up my apps on my current S2 using Titanium backup, and restoring it on S4? Can this be done with minimal issues?
Sure can. Couple of things to remember:
Don't restore all items, just use the missing apps+data on restore.
In the tibu batch only backup user apps, nothing from system.
If you want your call log, bookmarks, SMS, and WiFi you can use the menu button and backup to XML options, then restore on new phone.

Hey guys,
First post here... please help!
I'm migrating from a rooted MDK S4 to a rooted ME7 S4.
I took a nice Nandroid backup using CWM on the MDK S4.
ME7 is rooted but no CWM or TWRP so I can't restore the Nandroid backup as I normally would
Tried Nandroid Manager pro AND MyBackup Pro root separately (with a factory reset in the middle) on the new ME7 S4... but whenever I restore apps + data, most of the replaced apps crash. Like Nova launcher will crash over and over
When I uninstall a crashing app and reinstall from Play store, it works perfectly! Restoring my data on top of that app works fine too. I just have ~140 apps and can't do this manually.
I've tried MyBackup's migrate feature -- same results.
Bolded my problem above. Any idea why these apps would be crashing on the new S4? I wish there was a way for me to tell Play to download all my apps to the new device and then just drop my data in on top!
Thanks guys
Hi,
On my Galaxy S4 cellphone (android version 5.0.1) i was using an application - Automatic Call Recorder.
i have over there a lot of important saved calls.
recently i have upgraded to Galaxy S7 (android version 7.0.0).
i tried to migrate the data with backing up the app+data on the S4 and restoring on the S7, and it failed.
the backup process seems to succeed but when i try to restore it on the S7 i see that it's completed but when i open the app i see that it is still "new" and don't have any data.
i tried to backup & restore with Helium App and another 2-3 apps and it didn't help.
i also tried to move the data manually (the files of the saved calls) and it didn't help.
i tried to contact the app developers but they didn't really try to help.
i assume the issue source is the change between the android versions, because i once formatted my S4 and backup the app with Helium before the format and restored it successfully after the format.
an important face - both devices are not rooted.
any ides how can i migrate the data?
thanks!
Can anyone recommend a system backup/restore app that I can use to save my apps and settings, then later restore them to a new phone? I tried Helium last time but when I tried to restore my backup it told me that my backup file was invalid, so I'd like to try something more reliable this time!
I'm running stock Android 7, not rooted.
Titanium Backup (paid version) is what I've been using for years since it backs up to the external SD - plus I use the regular Google sync to backup my settings etc. That way I'm back online pretty fast after flashing a new rom
