Hey guys! I managed to successfully run Snapchat (9.31.1.0) on my rooted Galaxy S6 6.0.1 MM. I've not yet tested on any other devices, but you're free to try. This is what I did;
1. If you have a secondary android device that's rooted, that'll be good. If not, you can still do this on your primary device.
2. You then go ahead and uninstall xposed framework (make sure you have the files stored somewhere to re-install later on)
3. Download and Install Snapchat from the play store, then log in (you should be able to log in successfully)
4. Create a backup of Snapchat using Titanium Backup. If you're doing this on your secondary phone, transfer the backup files (3 files) into your primary phone (/sdcard/TitaniumBackup/)
5. Re-install xposed framework and reboot your phone.
6. While using Titanium Backup, find Snapchat and select restore -> App + Data
7. Go ahead and open Snapchat. You'll see that you don't need to log in.
Just restore the data in case you accidentally logged out. Feel free to ask me any question if in doubt. Thanks

I made a video on how to increase your snap score. Hope you enjoy it!

Does anyone have the latest version of Shazam Encore (Paid) version working on the GSIII? I believe it is 3.11.1. I'm using Synergy ICS r-64 and the app just says connection error right after you launch and it says "Setting up Shazam."
The update just released was supposed to fix this issue but it hasn't for me. If you must ask, "Why Shazam and not Soundhound?" The answer is that Shazam works much better at identifying electronic music and DJ remixes and the like for me.
I just used it a few hours ago to test the new TV/Movie ID feature, and it worked beautifully. CM10.
No solution from me, but it is happening to me as well. I'm just stock rooted
Running Synergy r73 and it works fine.
[GUIDE] Shazam Encore - How to Fix!
After an hour of messing around with the application data folder and databases and Titanium Backup I have found a way to get this program working. This is the only way I have figured out how to get it working so far and may also work with the free version. This is more of a band-aid than a complete fix, but you will be able to use the app as long as you don't clear the data. By the way, what we are fixing here is the "Could not establish a connection (ftu.ope)" problem when launching the app, which seems to be common with TouchWiz ROMs and a few Sense variations that I've seen. This process should be adaptable to any device. Someone with a bit more knowledge on how Android applications work may wish to discuss my theories on what is actually going wrong here. But anyways...
Basically what we are doing is installing a fresh ROM, activating Shazam (or Shazam Encore), creating a backup with Titanium, exporting it to the SD card, and then nandroiding back to your original config and importing the backup. If you need directions, those are below, and it couldn't hurt to check them out real quick anyway even if you know what you're doing.
DISCLAIMER: Don't mess up your device! If you think you need help, ask before you try this!
Requirements:
-Rooted with a custom recovery
-Titanium Backup (possibly the paid version)
-Some time to kill
1. Delete Shazam Encore completely from your phone using Titanium Backup or the Application Manager in Settings.
2. Make sure you have used Titanium Backup to create a backup of something so that it saves its preferences and your Android ID. If you haven't backed up everything, maybe you should . The Android ID is automatically saved with your backup if you have not changed that from the default settings.
3. Download a ROM for your device and put it on your SD card, preferably something of a different flavor than what you are using now, although the same ROM might work.
4. Reboot to Recovery
5. Create a full nandroid backup of your device.
6. Do a fresh install of your ROM of choice according to its instructions.
7. Boot the ROM, log into your Google account, and use Play Store to install Titanium and your Pro Key if you have one.
8. Open Titanium Backup and it should prompt you to restore your Android ID. Yes, you want to restore it, and then your device will reboot immediately.
9. Download Shazam (Encore) from the Play Store and run it. It should load up and work just fine. Once it is set up, exit the app.
10. Use Titanium Backup to manually make a backup of Shazam under "Backup/Restore."
11. Once the backup is made, long press Shazam under "Backup/Restore" and select "Send latest backup..."
12. Select "App+Data (Easy Import)" and "save file locally" (top option) on your SD card. Note save location to avoid headache.
13. Reboot into recovery and restore your nandroid backup.
14. Clear the cache and dalvik just to be safe.
15. Reboot, and once your phone is up and running, use a file explorer to launch the Shazam Backup file you exported (something like com.shazam.android-xxxxxxxx.TiBkp) and open it with Titanium Backup,
16. Select to restore App AND Data.
17. Shazam should now work.
Post your success (or failure) here so I can make any edits/improvements as necessary.
Enjoy!
Hi,
my old Nexus 5 is still on Android 4.4.4 (shame on me). Now I would like to transfer by an easy way the appdata from the old to the new device (Nexus 5x, Android 6.01.)
I don't want to use cloud services.
Both devices are rooted.
Xprivacy is working on both devices.
And there is the AFWall+ working also on the both.
My strategay is:
1.) OLD DEVICE: Make a new backup with Titanium Backup of all relevant apps.
2.) OLD DEVICE: Save this backup with the TB-Webserver on the PC.
3.) NEW DEVICE: Install all needed apps from the Google Play Store.
4.) NEW DEVICE: Do not open the new apps.
5.) NEW DEVICE: Restore the data only from TB from the PC. Except green and red system appdata and XPosed appdata. And hope the most of the apps will not close forced.
6.) OLD DEVICE: Make backups inside the specific apps: XPrivacy and AFWall+ and pull by ADB the backup files to your PC.
7.) NEW DEVICE: Push the backup files of XPrivacy and AFWall+ to the new device.
8.) NEW DEVICE: Now see if it works.
For backup SMS maybe use SMS Backup & Restore.
Do you think this will work? Do you know an easier and/or better way, do to this?
Thanks and regards

Hi,
Is there a current way to use snapchat on my rooted pixel? I tried unrooting to log in and re-root, but it didn't work as well.
I don't have another rooted device to do titanium back up and I am on android Nougat so I can't install xposed frameworks.
any suggestions people?
unrooting, logging in, and rerooting always works for me....is the app data being deleted somehow when you unroot/root?
Unrooting, logging in and rerooting also worked perfectly for me a couple of times. I don't know any other working method yet.
Don't forget to make a backup of Snapchat with Titanium Backup just after rerooting, so next time you face that issue you can just restore from TiBu.
Hey I just wrote a guide on this. No need to unroot! https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel/how-to/guide-log-to-snapchat-stock-rooted-rom-t3590473
I'll copy and paste the steps from my thread to here so people can see it. You have to be on stock firmware for this to work.
1. Download the full system image for your device + build (https://developers.google.com/android/images)
This worked on my Pixel, it should work for other Nexus/Pixel/Pixel XL devices as well though.
2. Unzip the file
3. Unzip the image-sailfish-XXXXXX.zip inside the new folder
4. Connect your device to your computer with ADB and reboot to bootloader
5. fastboot boot path/to/boot.img (inside the folder from step 3.)
NOTE: Please make sure to fastboot BOOT, NOT fastboot FLASH.
6. Once booted, log in to Snapchat. It should work.
7. Reboot.
8. Backup Snapchat in Titanium Backup so you don't have to do this again.
I'm setting up a new Pixel 3 (Android 9), and moving from a Note 4 (Android 6.0.1).
When setting up, Google installs some, but not all, apps from the store. The missing apps I expected to restore from redundant Titanium Backup and My Backup Pro backups.
I have successfully installed Magisk 18.1 using the Boot Image Patch method (no TWRP)
Titanium Backup Pro reports it has superuser rights. When I try to restore an app created with the Note 4, Titanium Backup hangs forever on the "Restoring App+Data AppName n.n.nn.n" overlay with the spinning circle. TiBk is unresponsive, although Android is still running and I can see home screen or notifications. Restart is required to clear the pending action. I have run TiBk with USB debugging enabled (if that is still required), but get the same failure.
I also have MyBackup Pro. When I try to restore an apk (or apk+data), it appears to run normally. MBP reports it has superuser rights. At the end of the process the status summary says: Appname: failed: cp: can't create '/data/app/appnamestring-1/appnamestring.apk': Path does not exist.
I tried using MBP to back up an app already installed on the Pixel 3 from the store, and then restore it. It gives the same error, except the place where there is "appnamestring-1" in the Android 6 backup, there is now something like "appnamestring-2fjdk56akjfkdye7dkfja9=="
Also, I observe that the app that was installed prior to this backup restore experiment is no longer present afterward. I re-installed from the store.
Can anyone suggest next steps for solving this issue?

The only way that worked for me is getting my apps installed from GDrive backup (the from settings - > security - > backup or so). Actually this only restores apps from the play store.
Restore via ADB also didn't work for me...

Thank you for the reply! It was rather quiet around here...
But seriously, you can't restore apps? Why?? What is the issue? Why can't an app designed to backup and restore, running with superuser permissions, restore an app?

I found it also quite annoying! Trying to copy apps via cable seems to be only fetching a list of apps from the old phone and then re-installing them. No settings, no data. Also - obviously - only apps from play store! So unusable.
My advise - export, backup etc. all you can from your old phone for import or so.
In regards to Titanium - there's a wayto make it work. I had this once that it got stuck: in the settings there's an option to change the processing mode - see https://www.titaniumtrack.com/kb/titanium-backup-kb/titanium-backup-troubleshooting.html , number 29.
You will have to ACK every app to be stored but it should work.
Not sure what I did different to you but it worked for me (titanium). Maybe try restoring app only, then data only. I think I might have done a batch restore from a nandroid originally.
