[Q] Need help migrating apps and data to new phone - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I'm trying to restore a backup of my apps, along with their data, to my new htc one but have hit a problem. The one is not rooted so titanium is not an option and mybackup seems to be unable to restore my apps data.
I've only just got the one and am a bit reticent to root at this early stage in case it bricks.
Are there any solutions to migrate my app data (from a desire on cm7 btw, so helium not an option either).
Can't believe such a simple thing is proving so difficult!

As far as I know root access is required for what you are trying to do. It will be fairly impossible to brick a HTC through rooting it as you have s-on (basically you can't write to any partitions that could brick a phone with s-on). Maybe someone else knows more and there is some app that can do this :fingers-crossed:

Try HTC own transfer app
Settings
Then under personal settings
Select transfer content
This has a range of transfer options specifically intended to copy apps, and other data including photos from your old phone to your HTC one
If your old phone isn't an HTC then you may need HTC transfer app from android play store on your old phone first

Atleast try one of the cooked ROMs first, its a common fact that the stock ROMs are pretty poor.
I am new here...would you please guide me to the ROM which works best on the FUZE along with details instructions...never done this before and want ti make sure I don't end up screwing it up thanks for your help!
Did it freez up before you did all the tweaks and performance stuff? maybe some of them are conflicting with each other. Backup all your data and do a hard reset and do all you tweaks with a little time inbetween so you know what one starts giving you problems. Better yet try a custome rom they have all the tweaking done for you basicaly
which one is the latest and greatest ROM that I can use...link please ...
I suggest Kickstart.

[Q] How do you get Adfree working on the DHD?

Hi,
I have used Visionary to first temp root and then perm root and apps such as Screen shot, Titanium backup, Auto killer memory etc which need root work fine but I just can not get Adfree to take those annoying adverts away and was hoping someone here that has successfully got Adfree working properly on the DHD could help?
I have updated the host files in Adfree but it just wont work, any help would be greatly appreciated to get Adfree working.
Thanks
Well it works for me after updating the host list, strange
All I have done is used Visionary to temp root and then perm root and updated the host files in Adfree, but Ads still show.
I haven't gone any further with any of the other modifications like S-OFF or anything else like that. Do you need to?
depending on your rom
with android revolution its working

My DHD is brand new, only had it a couple days so I am just using it as it is without any ROMS. Heres the software version etc pictured, I don't know if this is a version where Adfree currently doesnt work or other people have the same software and Adfree works?
You have to set s-off. The flash memory is locked and any changes to system files (adfree needs to make some) are not persistent if you are s-on. S-off is the same as unlocking the flash memory.

Either radio s-off our hboot s-off will do but radio is safer and you won't loose it if you do something stupid like accepting an official update.

[Q] Strange storage ?

Dear XDA,
I've freshly installed Maximus HD 45. And it's working, no problems there.
But when I look at my storage I see something strange. I have 12.10gb used by 'Other'.

}
I've found some strange paths on my phone (taken from WiFi File Transfer Pro):
../storage/emulated/0/
../storage/emulated/legacy/
../storage/sdcard0/
They all seem to redirect to my internal storage.
Probally some leftover bugs from previous custom roms?
Is it possible to completely clean my storage without removing TWRP and Maximus HD? Or in worst case scenario I don't mind reinstalling a clean Maximus HD. But I prefer not to do to much modding on the phone, like installing a different RUU. Currently I live in Zanzibar and I have limited options (and internet!) when something goes awohl.
If it's a whole lot of effort I keep it like this. It's annoying but I can live with it. But if it's an easy fix then I would gladly do that!
Thanks in advanced!
Lennard
that's normal. to see what's using up your space I recommend you use this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobile_infographics_tools.mydrive
I'm not a huge expert on the technical side of Android devices but in my experience, those are the three common file paths to access internal storage. I do not know the exact reason as to why there must be three file paths. But it is normal. Nothing to worry about.

System App Installation Issue (My Files)

I wasn't thinking straight, and for some reason I tried installing the My Files app from the Galaxy S5 because I find it more better than the one in the Galaxy S6. In order to do this, I backed up the stock Galaxy S6 My Files app (/system/priv-app/SecMyFiles2015/), including the odex files. After that, I deleted those files then put the My Files app from the Galaxy S5 there. Then I rebooted my phone, and expected it to work for some reason. Obviously after I rebooted it, it didn't work. Since it was late at night, I left it at that. The next day after I realized why it wouldn't work, I began to attempt to restore the Galaxy S6 My Files app. I've tried several different methods, and none have worked yet. I researched this issue too, and all of the solutions which have worked for others in the past don't seem to be working for me.
Methods I've attempted so far, which haven't worked:
Copy the My Files app + odex files into "/system/priv-app/SecMyFiles2015/", set correct permissions, and reboot
Copy the My Files app into "/system/priv-app/SecMyFiles2015/", set correct permissions, and reboot
Copy the My Files app into "/system/app", set correct permissions, and reboot
Restore through Titanium Backup, as I backed this app up through this app before getting rid of it (TB just hangs when I initiate the restore process)
Installing the app through android's package installer
I attempted many other methods too, however I can't remember them right now. If I remember them, I'll add it to the list.
If someone could help me out with this issue, that would be great! Thanks in advance guys!
Bump! I would appreciate it if someone could help me out! I also obtained a screenshot of an error from logcat, which occurs when I start the app up.

seems to be some sort of sammy protecting system integrity!
since 5.0 for example the restore of system apps with titanium seems to be impossible, it won't work...

There is no root method for the GS5 on Lollipop.
so does that mean we can't go to an earlier version and root that?

Unfortunately, no. This phone was only rootable on KitKat.

Thanks, and that's ok but not the best of corse, what I have been able to do because the most important thing for me was/is a GPS app I use and it/was a root only app for storage to the sdext for offline maps. I get a popup now that directs me to another window that has a "hint" to select "0000-xxxx" on the next page, then I can select the sdext for storage and the app uses it (very happy) and it seems to happen for other file transfer tasks. I do not know if the app made this possible or if its just native as this was the first app I installed but it's there in any event. so now when my game files get to big for some other task I wish to do I just move the app data file to the sdext and do whatever and move it back when done. Again not the best but livable as I really like the 5.1.1/OJ3 ROM that's on my G870A, good battery live with quick operation after installing the Pro version of Samsung Package Disabler . I really like this phone! And let's hope this new exploit they found for the Verizon phones turns into something!
I also contacted at&t and stressed how important rooting can be (as for me it's a safety issue as there's bad service in the rural area I'm in) and suggested they might even allow it for an extra fee/no or paid support for doing it. I'm not holding my breath.
Thanks again, now I going to put my KFHD back to 8.1.4 and see if I can get OTG to work as this 870 is all I need for gaming now that I got glasses, I'm an old fart (chronologically)
sully
