Hi, seeing that root might be awhile, could anyone recommend a good app that i can use to transfer my App+Data from my LG G3 to LG G5. I really do not want to go through the hassle or re-installing and now putting all my settings back for each apps. BTW, i do have titanium backup and of course will not work without root. I have tried other free alternatives and some claim to do data which of course do not work.
Thanks.
Just to be sure, you tried LG Backup, right (from the LG Smartworld Store)?
I've used it before with my G4 but did not use it for the G5.

Well the LG Backup software i doubt will work do anything with the apps on my LG G3 that is running CM13. I did install and run on the LG G3 and it looks like it was looking for all LG's app.

Does not require root. Only requires that you take 60 seconds to read the directions. I used it on my non rooted s6 edge and my lg g5 the day it came out.

You have to start the app and connect it to your computer. There is a chrome extension you can install if using linux which is what I did or a program that can be used for windows / mac. But I assure you it does work perfectly. I did not even have to log back into any of my accounts. Kind of scary really! ? I then transferred the image to my computer not directly to the other device and I transferred the app+data not just the data.

Yup. Actually one app complained about it called torque. I just removed it and reinstalled via the play store and all was fine. I saved a copy of the image to my computer, so theoretically if I lost my phone and had to replace it I wouldn't be starting from scratch. I have just under 100K text messages that were restored in the process, and that took the majority of the time for me. I wish that CWM (creators of helium) would make an add on or another stand alone application that would allow me to run something once a month/week that would backup the phone in it's current state and simply increment the current backup image.
I've owned Helium for ages. Best backup solution for a non rooted phone ever. Well worth the money. In my case I also used the LG backup and while it had to sit overnight to run, it did the job.

That is so pathetic. Just another reason to hate that company.
Anyway...my friend just got an inspire and is new to android. I'm just helping with the phone (I have a verizon android phone) and realized that AT&T finds someway to screw with consumers again. So, is there a way to get around this and install non market apps?

You can use sideload wonder machine http://forum.androidcentral.com/android-sideload-wonder-machine/
Or root the phone and load a custom ROM that has non market apps enabled
the sideload wonder machine method is sipmple the only drawback is that the apps wont receive updates like they would from the market, if I'm not mistaken.
Also if I remember correctly if the app is to big for side load wonder machine, you can use adb push. There are always work arounds.

That's why it's such a sweet feeling when you uninstall their application through TiBu........
You can also consider rooting the device. I did mine with no issues at all. It's VERY easy, just time consuming. From start to finish, took me about 35 minutes. I already had EVERYTHING I needed to do this though, including the ROM I wanted.

You want good go to Amazon App store, in the past few days I got a full version of Shazam and then SoundHound. Both have full unlimited use with no expiration, also if you change rom's you can redownload them from your account for as long as you have the account. They give away a full paid app everyday on there.

Might be more of a google market question, but thought I would start here.
I have 1 MT4GS with 90 or so apps, getting a second MT4GS. Most apps are market, but some from other spots. Is there a way to massively update/download the apps I have on current phone to new phone. In the past, I have just downloaded them one at a time from market.
Thanks in advance...
Possibly
Just an idea, you could make a backup of your current mt4gs and then restore it on the new one? Ive never tried it but I dont see why it wouldnt work
Your google account should keep record of your downloaded apps and redownload on the next device you sign in on... Usually...

I know with previous phones this didn't work. I would connect to my same account with the new phone, but it wouldn't show that I had apps loaded. Example, the eBay app would not show installed, I would have to load like it was a new app install. It would be great if that would do that, or it would show 90 updates to be applied. But I haven't done this in a while, maybe newand improved market will allow. I guess I will find out when I get receive the 2nd phone.
Thanks..
Well if your rooted and your next phone is rooted then you can use titanium backup to backup all your apps. If you CWM installed on both then you can make a nandroid backup and either restore it on the new one or use appextractor to restore the apps. But if your not then your best bet is let Google restore the apps that it does and manually resinstall the ones that it doesn't.
all of your payed for apps will certainly appear in the market under my apps and you can just go thru clicking on them one after another after another. the ones that were free though, i dont know any quick/easy way. i'm sure theres an app that will track all your downloaded apps regardless of if they were free or not.
The market website actually keeps a log of every app you downloaded. You can then send them right to your phone from there.

This is what I'm seeing, it show my paid for apps, but not the freebees. FYI - first phone is not rooted, second one is..
I also logged into google and google market on the pc hoping to see 'my apps', but no luck there..
So looks like a download at a time..
Thanks all for your inputs...
That is odd. I still have stuff on the Web Based Market list that I haven't used since my old craptastic Behold II 2 years ago.

I've done this before with my old MT4G. I would just flash a backup of my previous phone onto my warranty replacements... So I can say it does work....
roms make a difference
I have been trying out different roms and they act different with Market.
These 2 work like I mentioend before, only show bought apps:
Bulletproof
Doubleshot Lite 1.2.4
But this one does an auto download of all my past downloaded apps, very cool.
RootzWiki and install Undeadk9's ICS-splashed ROM: RubiX_ICS_v5.3_release-keys_signed
I love TiBu, but I'm a cheap guy. I like the fact that you can sync with Dropbox. So instead of buying the full version, I downloaded DropSpace (Free) and set it to automatically backup the folder of my choice (in this case the TitaniumBackup folder) at the same schedule as my TiBu. Problem solved!
P.S. I also use AppExtractor to restore the last state of any apps I had installed in NANDROID backups. My Titanium is set to back up new apps and newer versions, so it skips over new data in old programs. Doing things this way ensures that I have the most recent data without having to run Titanium AND create a NANDROID backup. Saves me time!
Anyone else have any other alternatives to Awesome but paid apps?
If this post gives you ideas, I wont mind a bit of thanks

Wait till you have to restore a lot of apps. This method won't save you a single second! It's well worth paying for Titanium Backup for many other reasons but being able to just click restore once and leave it to it is soooooo much better!
MIUI=Problem solved. If you can root, you can flash a Rom, and MIUI has batch backup and restore built-in, including contacts which I don't believe TiBu does. I think Cyanogen might also have this capability, though I didn't check when I test flashed CM9.
That said, if you don't want to flash a Rom capable of this then it's definitely worth the money for TiBu Pro because restoring one at a time is a PITA, and Google Apps Backup will not run again if it fails to complete the first time after an SBF.

For what it's worth, TiBu Pro's auto restore is REALLY nice, but the price is also pretty steep IMO.

Not understanding what you're saying here...
If a guy comes to me and offers me what TiBu offers and he says give me $6 and I'll hook you up, I'll pay the man if I'm not capable of doing it myself for free. But in this case, I don't mind a little extra work to save me the cash. Besides, the more simplified a process is, the less you know about it. And when I repair and re-install other peoples phones, I cant convince them all to buy a $6.58 app to use possibly only once.

I did purchase the key for AppExtractor. It was a cheaper $1.99. A 3rd of the price. I'd been looking for this functionality for so long that I just impulse bought it. It allows you to restore what you want from your NANDROID backups. You can select all and have it just run. That should take the same amount of time as Titanium, right?

I can agree with you about doing something yourself for free and it is impossible to get someone to spend seven bucks on something they may use once. I have the pro version and it is one of my greatest tools when it comes to customizing roms to my liking;not just restoring apps but modifying framework apks.
Forgive the total derail, but batch restore is totally worth the price of tibu

It would probably be about the same time to restore, but to backup is a pain. You have to turn your phone off to create the backup, whereas with Titanium you can leave it running in the background.
It's good to have more choices though.
So, I rooted my Nook Color and my Nook Tablet, and that made sense to me, because they were so locked down. But this thing connects to my PC with no problems, and there's nothing I haven't been able to install on it. What is the point of rooting?
Running software not available without having root rights (OpenVPN, Titanium backup, Ad blocker, ...)
Hmm, okay. Doesn't seem worth the hassle. Thanks, though.

I don't see any reason to root the note 10.1
I had to return my first one because rooting it broke the s pen and flashing stock firmware didn't fix it.
I didn't need to root in the first place, just did it out of habit.

This device is great out the box. So for me, I feel no meed to root it yet. Once roms mature and developement and custom kernels pick up more, ill likely root.
I like the fact I can root my devices as it gives more flexibility if I need it.
I also like my clock to be accurate and I can't use clocksync properly without root...
Droidwall, titanium backup and clocksync.
Do I need to say more?
titanium backup! i need it to restore my previous device's apps
I did it to get rid of the damn mini apps.
I rooted purely for Titanium Backup and Sixaxis. Totally worth it.

Dousan...
Why would you want root access?
Well, ask yourself this...
Would you be satisfied with only your desktop and start menu as a user?
Or you would prefer to have access to C:\ as an administrator?
It's the difference between REALLY having control over your device vs having the illusion you have control of your device.
Titanium Backup, I can't stress enough how useful TB is. Between backing up, restoring, moving save data to another device, not to mention being able to save it all to cloud storage. If you ever have to do a factory reset, TB is imo the best way to keep your data.
Ad Away. Doesn't need to be explained.
ability to remove worthless stock software, or freeze it (via Titanium Backup).
access to apps that you otherwise might never have access to (example - Google Now before it got downgraded)
because it's easy to do.
everybody is doing it!

yup, the guy wants you to pay for it every year, but at least he had it fixed within hours.
he also said if it shows up in the play store (google removes it a lot) and you buy it there you're basically screwed for support cause he'll make you rebuy it off his website no matter how long you've owned it.
but it works and you dont have to be a device admin, and once you get it working it stays working.
Not advocating for him, just saying the few things that can be compliments for how he operates
Yeah I appreciate he does support his app. He's been around for a long time and that does say something. At least we have options and we can be happy with what we choose to use. The freedom of android
Anybody try App Freezer yet? Just got my phone and looking to set it up. App Freezer has worked flawlessly on my Note 10+ since day 1.
I haven't tried it or heard of it but I like looking at apps recommended by other users so I'll check it out.
I took the plunge with App Freezer. Even with ADB side loading, install was quick. If you're gonna do it, it's best to do it first, because you have to delete all accounts to set it up. It's worked great on my Note 10+, my Tab S6, and now seems to be running fine on the S22 Ultra.

Yeah it's shady. I paid for it twice and then figured out what he was doing. If he puts it on the store and it gets taken off the store and he gets it put back on you have to buy it again or it won't work when you download to use it. If you get a new phone then it won't work and you have to buy it again. If you go to sleep at night and wake up the next morning then it won't work and you have to buy it again lol. I have two package disabler apps in my apps list and both of them are obsolete.
