Unrooted Restore - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi There!
I am coming from a Rooted S4, and need to get the data and apps across to my S5 (unrooted). Obviously Titanium is out, and I tried Helium but it's broken ass. Any other ideas or recommendations?

[Q] Restore apps from Rooted Note 2 to stock S4

I lost my rooted Note 2 and got an S4 with UCUAMF3 installed already. I did however make a backup of my SD card with all apps and data I pulled from Titanium. My question is if it is possible to restore all of my apps and data without root from the backup I have? I tried manually moving things using Root Explorer but of course I could not get R/W access... Hoping there's another way or I will just have to wait it out until hopefully a new root is released.
Thanks in advance!

[Q] Removing Bloatware

I just rooted my VZW Galaxy Note 3, and wanted to see if anyone had a list of the bloatware you can safely freeze with Titanium Backup. I did this myself and ended up wiping to start over because I was getting force closes, probably meaning I froze something that broke functionality.
This is my first Android device and I'm coming from an iPhone 5. I, too, would like a list or guide to removing bloat ware. What did you guys uninstall?
I saw a couple of lists yesterday. Now I can't find them

[Q] Fully restore phone?

Hey,
I recently rooted my Note 3, installed Titanium Backup, got rid of all the bloatware, then unrooted and am currently happy with my phone. Although, I thought, what if I want to sell this phone? Many features aren't working because I uninstalled them permanently, even after a factory reset via the settings. I am just wondering if theres a way to get that stuff back. Thanks.
P.S. If anyone knows why my auto screen rotation isnt working and how to fix it, I'll be thankful even more

Problems restoring messages from Helium

Hi guys,
I had a faulty S7 edge that needed to be returned, and I did a helium backup in order to move all my stuff. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like Helium will restore my messages.
Does anyone know of a way to do this manually without root?
Cheers!

AT&T stock apps

Is there a way that someone could upload a zip of the stock system apps for the ATT galaxy s4? I uninstalled some of them without backing them up in Titanium and now the OTA updates won't work without them. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
