I am currently on Verizon Gnex that is running Cyanogenmod. When I get my Note3 it will be my first time moving from one phone to another.
What would be the best way to move my apps (especially the data saved by each app) from a rooted non-stock device to an unrooted stock device?
I currently have titanium backup but since root isnt yet available on the note 3 it doesnt sound like that will be useful.
Thanks for any help / advice you can give..
Although I have not tried it myself, Helium looks like a good option. Does not require root and developed by the infamous Clockworkmod.

I used Helium and everything went swimmingly. Backed up everything on the Note 2, saved in Google Drive, then went to restore on my Note 3. The only drawback is that you have to have all of your apps already downloaded on your new device before you can restore them, though the app does link to that respective app in the Google Play store so that you can redownload it.
i also read about a fix for Titanium Backup users here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2473114
Helium will let you back up the full apps as well as data. It just takes far longer to do so. I like some older versions of apps and some that are no longer available.
And Boom goes the dynamite! now Free

Hello fellow S4 users. I will be getting my S4 tomorrow and had a question about transferring my data from my HTC One. If I backup my HTC One with Titanium Pro and then root my S4, will I be able to get all the apps along with the data from my HTC One to my S4? Thanks
Also do you guys think Titanium would be better for this or GO Backup?

not sure. you could try flashing your HTC One backup ROM on the GS4 and see how that goes though (SARCASM DO NOT TRY IT LOL).
ive honestly never tried using one TiBu on a different phone, though i have done it successfully between stock and custom ROMS, so it may work. if i were you, i would download all the apps again, and restore ONLY data, then check the apps all out and see. i could (and probably am) wrong though.
mine basically reloaded from PlayStore from my One S
you can make a copy of your TB and put it on pc then copy back to s4, not sure if that works or not to a new phone
actually if i remember i had to re buy tb pro
I have successfully transferred my tibu from s3-s4 but not sure across different makes.

My new GS4 should be delivered today! I am retiring my beloved Motorola Photon but am very excited at the prospects of having the best device on the market in my hands. My question concerns all of my backed up apps and games from my rooted and modded Photon. Is it possible to restore them from my saved "Titanium Backup" files to the GS4? Is it better to download the apps again from the play store and just restore the data? Thanks for any help.
most of the apps will f/c, just download them again, and save you the trouble and time.
Thanks for the reply. I will go ahead and just download all of my apps from the play store but my main concern was more about losing the app data. Can the data be restored safely via saved Titanium Backups?
I think this thread should maybe have been posted in the Q&A forum. My bad.
You should have no problem restoring the data using TB, just make sure you don't restore any system data.
On another note, since you will be getting your phone today, I would recommend that you take both firmware updates before you root. The most recent firmware is MF9, when you receive your phone it will probably be on MDC. So goto settings my device and then select update firmware and let it upgrade to MDL, then after its upgraded have it upgrade again to receive MF9. Then you can use chainfires cf-autoroot in the development section to root it and follow his instructions to load a custom recovery. This will save you a lot of headaches in the upgrade process and get you rooted with the latest software on the phone.

Enjoy the S4. :good:
I got the Photon right when it came out and someone here in our office still has one. It really shined in the short span it was one of the top devices but crazy how much of an improvement the S4 is. First thing I always notice is how much better the screen is and how much thinner the device is. Not to mention moving from GB to JB is huge.

Thanks CC. Yeah, the Photon was a great phone. Still is. Was Sprint's top device when I ordered it. I had mine rooted, overclocked and modded almost from day one and have had a custom CM10 JB rom(Thanx jokersax) on it for most of the time I've had it so I'm very familiar with JB. I'm really excited for the S4 though. Cant wait to get my hands on it. Hopefully today! First thing I'll do after I activate it will be to update the firmware to MF9. Then I'll have to figure out how to root it. Then I have no idea what I'll do as far as kernels/recoveries/roms yet. Have lots of reading to do. :silly:

Try running it with rooted stock for awhile. Maybe even with a custom launcher & kernel. You might be pleasantly surprised at how well it runs. Plus you can play with all the fancy stuff on the phone and see what you like and don't like.

Well, I got my new GS4 on Friday finally! This thing is really nice. The screen is amazing. Hard to believe how much better all of my photos look! Anyway, what I'm looking for is advice on what to do next. I just rooted it with CF Auto Root (Thanks Chainfire) and it went very smoothly. Kernels, custom recoveries so I can run a nandroid backup? What have you done??
I just upgraded from a photon...I restored about 80 apps+data, text messages and call log. I actually didnt have a single issue. Titanium rocks.

Hey,
When I mean samsung apps, more specifically I mean S Health since I have a lot of data saved in it. The problem is that when I switch from one TW rom to another TW rom, I can't seem to restore S Health data (I'm using Titanium Backup).
I've tried restoring data after doing a fresh install of S Health, as well as just trying to restore S Health without a previous install of it. Really, I want it to restore like all my other apps, but its seen as a system app and I wonder if that's the problem.
Hope I was clear, does anyone have an idea?
Thanks.
can you try another backup app like kousch's carbon
or, my backup pro--it lets you select just the apps you want--not sure if it does system apps though
If s health is a system app, in batch restore of tibu, run restore all system data, Deselect all and then just check s-health data so you restore only that.

I usually don't restore System data from TB, esp btwn roms, so don't think much about that being an option.
Have a Nandroid as always--
Backups TB or Go back up will not work if you are using 4.3 rom. Since 4.3 leaked and is still not supported if this is the case all you can do is flash 4.2.2 or 4.1.2 these still work. Am having same issue with CM 10.2 have a lot of saved game data had to start over the price of update software. Lol

Ya I tried it all. Short and simple we have to start over guy. Like I said before we are now on 4.3 firmware it is not supported by any backup yet since 4.3 Is not suppost to be out yet all we can do is wait till official 4.3 out for all back up apps to update to 4.3

I disagree, tibu is working fine with 4.3. Your doing something wrong.
Thanks everyone. I'm not using 4.3 right now since I'm sticking with touchwiz roms.
Titanium backup works really well for all my apps except for those system apps. When I try to restore app+data, TB seems to get stuck. Ah well, maybe samsung backs up the info somehow.
Btw, is there a way to use S Health without using a TW rom? Then I'd move up to a 4.3 rom.
The Environment
I have the SM-N9005, in the UK on EE.
Android 4.3,
Baseband N9005XXUBMI6,
Kernel 3.4.0-1628120
Build JSSJ.N9005XXUBMI7
SELinux Status - Enforcing
I have just installed the rom from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45972118&postcount=36 where KNOX is removed.
The Issue
I previously had a Samsung Galaxy S3, i9300, running different 4.3 roms. Apps were backed up with Titanium Backup and often restored without issue.
Now when I restore apps with data on my new Note 3, some apps restore okay and run without issue (WINAMP), however others give me force closes, either when starting the app (Call Blocker) or when closing the app (Candy Crush for instance).
I am unsure if the issue lies with Titanium Backup, or the SELinux Enforcing, or the KNOX stuff, or what?
Any devs that can help, would be greatly appreciated!

We canot think like this "KNOX is remoded". We remove only some appl, but the KNOX is always there on Bootloader from hardware.

It's not just titanium restored aps, some aps from the play store won't work (i.e. whats ap, tasker etc) keep getting a knox notification that the ap has been blocked (even though Knox was not enabled).
Seems some sideloaded aps don't work either (adblock, adaway etc)

The whatsapp verification fails, it can't read the sms that you receive. On the third try I got unknown error, press to initiate a call back, this worked and gives me a manual code to verify the ap. After that I can now send and recieve messages.
Tasker just crashes for me, knox popup saying app has been closed
WhatsApp works fine with me.
Tasker seems to work ok as well.I`m not a tasker expert so maybe it could be borked on some of it`s deeper functions.
I`m running on DjeMBeY`s pre-rooted rom.It`s meant to be de-Knoxified

The issue with Titanium restores is unrelated to the Knox errors. Remove Knox completely. Whatsapp works.

That's quite normal when using Tita backup. Especially for the new device, just remove the problematic app and reinstall it. That happens to my previous Sony ZU as well.
For me, I won't restore app to my new purchased device unless apps with important data on it. I will install apps directly from play store. Then do the backup when all apps, themes are settled down. I will only restore apps in the same device just in case something happened.
The most valuable function of Tita backup for me is freeze or remove bloatwares.....

I appreciate there may be some conflicts but I have switched phone before and restored apps with data from previous phone and all was good.
I have some apps where I pay monthly via sms where I require the data to be restored.
It seems to be an issue with SELinux set to enforcing. There are many people in this forum and the GS4 forum having troubles with Titanium.

I had to wipe data because my first "as usual" restore data gave nothing good : apps were not launching, constantly crashing.
I'm using the google restore app functionality to ensure a minimum is install and will test that again.
I cannot believe there's no way to make TB work properly. I don't know my new device enough yet to be sure if it's that Knox thing (didn't get what it is exactly) or any re-enforced (compared to my SGS3) security stuff.
