I will be going from a rooted Galaxy 2 to a non-rooted Galaxy Note 3. In the past I've used Titanium but since I won't be able to root the Note 3 anytime soon I am looking at Helium. If I backup on a rooted phone will I be able to restore the app and it's data on a non-rooted phone? I couldn't find in the documentation where it addressed this. Creative Mobile Drag Racing and CSR Racing are the two of most concern to me.

How did you get the helium desktop to install? It tells me that I need dotnet 2 the link to download it takes me to dotnet 4 when I try to install it, it tells me it is already installed.
UPDATE: I got it working. Problem was the pc was 64bit Windows. Installed it and the drivers on my Windows tablet and it worked great.

For non-rooted devices you need to connect to PC and utilize a PC installed package as well while your device is connected USB to PC.

Is there anyone of you guys who fixed or knows if there is a version of whatsapp that is compatible with the Galaxy tab 2
Sent from my GT-P5110 using XDA Premium HD app
You need a rooted android Phone for this and your tablets must be rooted too
1. BackUp Whatsapp with TitaniumBackup on your rooted Phone
2. Root your Tablet
3. Download TB on your Tablet
4. Put the backup files of your Phone in the TB folder of your tablet
5. Open TB and restore Whatsapp
Done!

I got whatsapp working on my tab by tricking the system. The mqin problem you may have on a non-3g tablet is that you don't have a cell numeber to which whatsapp can send it's confirmation. So you do this
1. Install whatsapp using a valid and accessible cellphone number
2. Start the registration
3. Wait until the waiting period is over and it asks you if you want to be called with the number.
4. Answer yes and wait for whatdapp to call you with the number
5. Enter the given number.
6. Happy chatting.
It worked for me, but turned out that it takes up so much resources that it slowed EVERYTHING down.

Does anyone understand or have any more information about the DRM restrictions if you root your device.
Are the DRM restrictions built into some apps or into Android itself? It would be terrible to pay for content and then to loose access to it, because someone uses some intelligence' by rooting their device.
If I root my Nexus 7, will I be prevented from accessing the material which i've purchased.
Is there a workaround for this ?
I saw a comment from a 'rootKepper' type app which summons this up well :
"Vote with your dollars: Don't accept being a customer of companies restricting your freedom with defective and and inefficient technical measures."
Cheers
I've rooted (but still on stock) and not have come across any apps that have restricted my access of using them because I was rooted. If worse comes to worse you can just unroot your device to use the app.
What would be sweet though is if you can sorta "hide" root and then make it only visible for a specific app that you want to use that uses root access.

Cool thanks for sharing your experience. I feel motivated to give it a go.
I've never had the need to "hide" root, but I'm pretty sure that Voodoo OTA Rootkeper offers this exact functionality.

Oh neither have I but now that I am thinking about it, I remember CynogenMod having a feature once upon a time (I havent flashed a rom of theirs in a while so I dont know if they still have it) but they were able to turn root off and on in the settings I guess maybe for situations like this.
Never faced any DRM issue on any unrooted device. Both my Galaxy S3 and Nexus 7 are rooted and never faced any problem. Reason? Because this problem does not exist. I remember Google Play movies used to complain about rooted device and it does not play movie on rooted device but it has changed since version 2.09c and we are on version 2.21 now. Google has officially stopped caring about root and now they rather support the root and hacking.

I rooted just because the process requires you to wipe your device completely (even SD card data). So better do it ASAP then later and fight moving data.
Root is just admin rights with regards to the file system. Having Root access allows you to backup system files (App data) using awesome backup programs like Titanium Backup and DataSync. Having root also allows custom recoveries to be installed with apps like ClockWorkMod and Goo.IM
I think the only thing that you won't be able to do is rent movies with a rooted phone. Doesn't it block you if your rooted?
Also sharp2G, what did you use to change the screen? Trinity app?

Actually. You don't need to be rooted to backup app data anymore.
The latest SDK from Google allows you to use a backup command to backup your app data and settings as well as restore them. No root required. It will even encrypt your backup as well if you want.
I for one am glad to see Google implementing this feature. It's about time.

Just curious as to why root then? I too love stock JB but it feels so weird to me to not be rooted. I feel like stock has everything I need though. Just wondering what things you needed to be root for if your running the stock ROM. I'd be interested!

Titanium Backup, USB OTG, changing to tablet UI, etc.
Root!
Root! It has great expansion options for your tablet. When you root, try using ModaCo's ROM and see how little things change. When you are done using and learn a little more about rooting and the abilities that it enforces you to use, switch over to moles Parandroid ROM. Its great and requires a little bit more expertise in the rooting world, but before you know it you will be an expert!

Any tips on the safest easiest way to root my nexus 7 and also backup everything on it to windows XP
Thanks.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Look up an app called carbon. It will allow you to backup apps from you pre rooted device. Plus, simply plug in your device and backup anything of interest like photos and downloads or music. Then root in your preferred method (wugs root tool in the nexus 7 android development stickies is quite easy). This process will unlock your bootloader (which will wipe your device back to factory state) install a rooted boot.img and custom recovery, and even take care of installing superuser into the stock rom. Once done there, you can then perform any backups within the device itself via titanium backup for user apps (system apps can cause issues). Also you can use your new custom recovery to create a full system backup called a nandroid backup (that can later be stored off device for safety of you like.

Yes it is possible. First unlock your bootloader, then root it using wugs toolkit.

It would be better to do it right when you get it before you install apps and save data in it.
Nexus Toolkit works great, too. I haven't tried Wugs, but I'm gonna give it a try another time when I root someone else's N7.
I am backup my System image via TWRP and OTG too an external hd.
My internal Files I am also backup via OTG: I am use rsync. Using the adb backup method is also possible, but for me it is very slow and a bit insecure I think... I trust TWRP.
Thanks everyone. Still deciding if I'm gonna do it or not.

Just unlock your bootloader if anything. That's all I did. The Nexus 7 is not preloaded with useless bloatware, so I didn't feel the need to root, and proceed any further. I even got the OTG cable to work on stock ROM, and I don't really care about any custom ROMs.

However i can use it on my old lg P500 device,galaxy tab 3 ,micromax canvas 2 plus .
I dont seem to find a reason.
Apk's from elsewhere work,but i'm a bit reluctant since i have over 1 billion chips and dont wanna get ripped
Can someone check if they can install it ?

Share the apk from any of the mentioned phones using es file explorer. Send it via Bluetooth and install it. Check if it works. Although it will not get updates but you will have the play store version.
use titanium backup to backup the game in one of your phones where the game is working and restore the game on your phone via titanium backup again

There are a lot of apps not compatible and unavailable through the playstore app.
If you mode the build.prop for n7100 it will allow you to download the app from the play store change ro.product.model=GT-N7000 to GT-N7100 and the same for ro.product.device after that save and exit then reboot the you will be able to download. I have tried and confirmed
