[Q] How to backup/restore Samsung Health data between ROM flashes? - Samsung Gear S3

Prior to buying my Gear S3 I was a crack-flasher - always flashing new ROMs on my phone (Nexus 6). Since getting my S3, that's come to a halt because I notice the Samsung Health app does not restore data from my Samsung Account and even using Titanium Backup to backup/restore the data isn't a solution. I've noticed when I restore data through Titanium Backup, the Samsung Health app does not sync with my watch.
Anybody know of a way to do this? I'd really like to keep jumping around and experimenting with ROMs, but only if my watch can use historical data.

Go to settings of Samsung Health app, click on Samsung account and set up sync.
When you install Samsung Health on new device It should sync all data to new device.

That's the word thing. I've done all that and it backs up but doesn't seem to restore. I wonder if it restores based on device ID instead of purely the account.
When I install a new ROM, it generally creates a new device ID.

Just saw that the account is setup but auto sync wasn't enabled. I bet that's why.

[Q] Transfer market apps to a new account?

My problem is I upgraded my gmail to a more professional one and I'm trying to figure out if there is a way to download my old apps I had paid for.
I am using the Samsung Galaxy S. I9000M so I can't just transfer accounts without doing a hard reset which will wipe all the apps.
Any ideas?

Samsung account

Is the samsung account mandatory or needed?
I have having the samsung options for calendars and bookmarks
But to login to the samsung app the samsung account is necessary right?
Yes, you need it for acces to Samsung Store, but ost of the apps in SaSt ar also on GPlay.

Recommended App data sync app

Looking for a recommendation for a app data syncing app that i can use to sync data with my tablet and galaxy s3, eventually ill upgrade to the s5 or wait for the s6. I do not want to have to redownload all apps on each device and do the settings because it gets annoying. I do have Helium Pro, but with the last update its extremely buggy and although i back up my app data to google drive, when i try to restore it says i have no files.. I also have Rom toolbox pro, but i wasnt sure if i back up the apk + the data from my s3 it would restore on my tablet and next phone properly.
Are apks that you download universal? Meaning if i backed it up with the app data on my s3 it would work fine if i restored on my tablet or any other device. Any recommendations on a better app sync app?
Thank you in advanced.

Google fit association

Is there a way to associate Google for to the device...
Google fit saves all info online, hence even if we change devices it syncs everything.
I had to delete the fear app on the phone and lost all tracking info

There is no option available to sync S-Health and Google Fit.
But if you create a Samsung account and use this with S-Health, it should bring you back the data the Gear S3 has synced with your phone, when you have to re-install S-Health on the Gear S3 or on your phone even.

There is an app called Health sync.
You can sync between fit and s health.

Question Galaxy Health app for Xiaomi Phone? (Galaxy Watch 4)

Hello all, I have successfully installed the Galaxy Health Monitor app following the instructions from here (apk to the phone and to the watch) now I just need to calibrate the blood pressure. THANK YOU!
What I am struggling with is to install the actual Galaxy Health App to have all kinds of general fitness tracking (sleep etc.) on a phone app.
I have downloaded different versions of the app and I always get "parse error" when the app manager installs it and so it does not work (as it does not install).
How can I install the Galaxy Health Monitor app on Xiaomi Redmi? (The generic Galaxy Phone app works - so I can change watch faces etc. - but I am unable to get any health stats on the phone app).
Maybe I am just a dummy and its already in there somewhere? But then - where? ( We have several smart watches / fitness bands in the family: they all give detailed stats on their phone apps - while so far I get no stat whatsoever for the Galaxy 4 watch - and I do not even see where the stats should be, hence trying to use the Galaxy Health App)
Thank you for any suggestions!
Try installing "Health Platform" from Play Store (it's a Samsung app) and sync your Samsung account to it by opening the health platform settings and enabling all permissions. Do that on watch and phone.
It comes pre-installed on Samsung devices including watch but you have to sync Samsung health to it manually. Your Xaomi phone won't have it installed by default.

Thank you for the reply. Unfortunately there is no health platform (or other similar Samsung app) in my app store... All I see is Galaxy Wearable and that does not give me any health stats...

Thank you! It says that this app does not work on my phone. And a sideload version gives the same parse error
Just to be clear are you trying to get Samsung Health Monitor or Samsung Health? 2 different apps.
Health Monitor is only for blood pressure. Samsung Health has all the features Including sleep.
Samsung Health - Apps on Google Play
Lifestyle companion to track your fitness, weight, diet, food & sleep.
play.google.com
Samsung Health Monitor will only work on Galaxy Devices.Samsing Health should be downloadable from app store and will sync with watch.
I am looking for any app that will give me health stats on my xiaomi phone. I was able to download (sideload) samsung health monitor and blood pressure and ecg works. But I am unable to download or sideload samsung health as it is not available in the app store on my phone and sideload versions give me a parse error

Ok I just confirmed Xiaomi isn't compatible with Samsung Health Apps. There's a workaround. Install Google Fit and sync up. You can get the Google fit app on your galaxy watch too. On your phone, download Health Sync. Sync your Google fit to Samsung health and it will automatically sync your metrics between the two apps. That's the only way.
or you can just use Google fit. It provides everything health does except sleep but you can use health sync to get sleep metrics in Google fit.
Health Sync - Apps on Google Play
Sync health data between Samsung Health, Google Fit, Fitbit, Garmin and others
play.google.com
Just be sure to download Google fit activity tracker on Galaxy watch.. it can check all the sensors and step tracker.
Through that workaround all your Samsung health data will be viewable I'm the Google fit App or Samsung Health app on your watch .. it can sync data both ways.
It syncs the data in the cloud so you don't need Samsung health installed on your phone to sync data.
Ok I wrote this very confusing...
You can use the alternative Google fit by downloading Google fit activity tracker on your watch and phone. All data will sync through Google fit. Don't need health sync.
If you want to view Samsung health data from your watch on your phone, download Health sync and sync your Samsung health data TO Google fit. Your Google fit will display your Samsung health data but DONT download the Google fit activity tracker on your watch if you use health sync since you'll be using Samsung health to log data instead.
You have options using Google Fit and Health Sync is my point.
