Need to know if this is possible with Titanium Backup

I'm using Titanium Backup to restore my girlfriends apps and data from her Galaxy SII to the new Galaxy SIV. Both have stock roms. On the SII she has a native app that came with the phone called task 1.0, it's like a memo note. The SIV does not have this program. How do I get Titanium back to install the app and data on the SIV, or is this not possible since they are different phones? Every time I hit restore app+data it just sits there and nothing happens, does that mean they are not compatible across phones?

Is it an app that can be downloaded from the play store or is it a system app from the SII.

It's a system app I can't find in the play store.

Backups with TB do work between different devices. My guess is the app is not compatible with the S4 so it can't restore. Probably the resolution or the app is tied with the calendar on the S2. Something like that. Have you tried restoring without data? Might have to find an alternative app for the S4.

It's not tied to the calendar it's like the yellow note pad you just type stuff on like a post it. For some reason hers is called task instead of memo. I think you are right about it not being compatible. Just wanted to make sure I'm not doing something wrong. It does not give the option to restore without data for this app, only with data. I'm guessing it doesn't work with the IV because it has S Memo.

Using Google Hangouts on One with Bloatware

I guess some of you noticed that google just updated Google Talk to replace it with Hangouts. A nice WhatsApp Clone with some beautiful features. I guess cross platform chat (Phone <> PC) is the most interesting part.
If you are an owner of an One which has Google Talk preinstalled as bloatware there is no chance to update this via Google Play unless HTC delivers an update. Too bad we're not able to uninstall bloatware / preinstalled stuff on non rooted devices...
But if you open the Play Store via browser on your computer to instruct it to install Hangouts on your phone, it will overwrite the Google Talk and you're able to use the new Hangouts app

That's what I did myself I wondered why it wouldn't update

I really wish they integrated it with sms/mms app like Facebook Messaging can do... or just made it like iMessage. But I'm happy for the upgrade.
It might not be showing up for folks because it is probably still replicating across the Play servers.

UI Layour is quite nice, hope it gets popular, but i really wanted that it could send sms , like imessage , or sms atleast so i can use that app for all.
edit.

Yep, but it is there don't worry. It launches when you start Google Talk

For me Talk was completely replaced after I started the remote Installation.

Strange. I'm on an att HTC one and it installed as a seperate app. I'm guessing it has to do with being on a non stock rom

I just got the phone today , it wouldnt let me install from Play store on the phone , it just gives me an option to open.
i went to play store on my pc and was able to install it from there on my phone and it replaced my talk app and it seems to work fine.

I opened a thread like this, Hangouts, with how to install and other stuff.
I saw this thread after.
Sorry

What I did was uninstall Google talk with titanium backup and then just install hangouts from the store later

Debloating VZW (rooted stock)

Now that root is achieved, many will freeze or remove stock VZW apps. Are there any resources on which apps are safe to freeze? This may have been asked elsewhere, but this is likely to be a recurring question and a thread in Q&A could be useful. Any information would be appreciated.

My problem is that I do not seem to have any options to uninstall. With the KK Launcher I did have an uninstall option but it would say uninstall unsuccessful.

That is interesting information, but I don't believe that article specifies what is safe to remove (just what the consider removing). Also, the ATT framework may not behave exactly as the VZW might, which is my specific question.
Edit: consider using titanium backup and freeze as an alternative to uninstalling entirely. Should give you the option to restore if needed.

Just use boot browesr or something similar and go to /system/app and rename the bloat. Change myverizon.apk to myverizon.bak for example. That way it it cause issues you can just change it back.

I recommend using titanium backup pro so you could backup the apps in case you ever need to restore then or run into an issue

I am also trying to figure out what is SAFE to remove versus what should be removed. The sticky has a short running list.

No. You need to be rooted.

Did you get a chance to play with one of these @ BB? I didn't see a lot of bloat or really any honestly. Samsung Retail mode though, no idea what carriers will force.

Correct if you want to uninstall them, but you can "disable" bloat from the applications section in the settings to free up memory and to cut down on unnecessary processes without needing root.

I'm not sure how the US carriers will handle this issue, but all of my carrier-specific apps were uninstallable on my Korean Note 4. Samsung and Google services have been hit-or-miss. But then again, there was specific legislation passed here on this very subject last year.

What do you mean by "bloatware"? Like health app?

Is there a way to delete the AT&T apps without rooting ?

Like that stupid flip board app.

Sprint has been pretty good about being able to straight uninstall all those useless programs they load once you activate. The rest has to be root uninstalled to remove. I've been using Samsung devices for awhile and most have to be rooted to remove their extra features.
Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk

Can't you just disable them? They'll still take up space but they won't run.

uninstalling some of the applications, especially from google or samsung could break other things seemingly unrelated, so much better way is to freeze them, but you need root. greenify has some option to stop apps from starting on boot up, not 100% sure, but I think it works even without root.

greenify is limited without root, but it is a start.

Does anyone know when the ATT note 3 was able to root?

Switching from Galaxy Note 2 to LG v20

Hey guys!
I am switching from Samsung Galaxy Note 2 to LG v20 and was wondering how to import all my data from Note 2. I have few backups with Samsung Kies and is there a way to just import a fresh backup from Kies to LG?
I will prefer a program like Samsung Kies for Windows that can work with both phones but if there's an App that I can install on both phones and transfer data via bluetooth / wifi or something is fine too.
Thanks!

I did it as well - but just as a suggestion, when setting up the V20, make sure your sim card is in or it's connected to wifi and make sure that you setup your google account. Otherwise it will not install your apps.
First go round, I bypassed the google screen and was going to do it after and I still had my sim in my Note 7 and was at work (no wifi) and it did not install any of my apps.

I made a backup on my SD card using LG backup, installed the SD card in my lgv20 and transferred it that way. Worked out fine.
