1: only samsung can answer that. lol. but you can pull down the top tab for music controls. music controls are still accessible when the screen is locked, so +1 for that. but if you really want the widget, there are alternative players you can use. you might also wanna keep an eye on this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=766544
2: if it's official thru kies, i have no idea. but if you flash it yourself, it will wipe your apps. it's always best to keep backups anyway in case something you don't expect will happen.

use titanium backup. phone must be rooted. it can backup app + app data.

ive used My Backup pro to back up my apps but noticed that after restoring the backup, it does not show up in my android market and thus does not notify me for updates, does titanium work better?

I was thinking about using app brain to just reinstall everything as it saves all my previous apps in a list or account

titanium works wonders. haven't had any problems so far after 2 flashes.

[Free APP] SMS Backup +

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.zegoggles.smssync
Great for backup/restore of your SMS & Call Logs

I'll second that recommendation. It's an excellent app that I've been using for quite some time now, it's almost an absolute necessity for anybody that flashes ROM's.

I use "mybackup root" which does the above as well as being able to back up and restore MMS pictures. Its free for root users and restores a plethora of other things. Only one that can restore MMS as far as I know.

Yep.....that's on my must have apps list.

Using it since some months a lot, just picture perfect. I also interviewed the dev, which you can read (use google trans!) http://www.mobiflip.de/2010/11/dev-interview-jan-berkel-zum-thema-android/

Just downloaded this app....can't quite figure out why it needs to access gmail account? Does it stow call logs and sms in gmail?
I've been using 'call log backup & restoe' and 'sms backup & restore'...... I would like to switch said two apps with just one.

yes it backs up everything to your gmail account
it's amazing!
it's a 1 touch restore if you ever Format the phone and Wipe factory restore when you change ROMs

It's one of the apps that i always want to have!!!
It's awesome thing to use!!!
I love the fact that i can always go back and search all the SMS in GMail Search
How cool is that?
Once I back up my messages, i delete them immdtly...

The app is pretty cool!!! Google is now controlling another part of my life with this!

Hmmm!!!! Well it is in a lot of ways...But I am loving the life in the cloud anyways!!!
I cant imagine about depending on my computer/HDD for backups anymore!!!
Maybe Google is the lesser of all the devils out there!!
Would it be possible to integrate this Google Account Sync settings? or only google can?

[Q] WhatsApp can't detect the device

Hi all,
I just installed CM9 Alpha 2 on my TP (finally!) and so far I am loving it. However, I'm having issues with WhatsApp saying
Alert
We can't identify your device. Please turn off the phone, take out the battery, restart it and try it again.
Note: tablets are currently not supported.

However, some people with the Xoom tablet (and other tablets) can actually run WhatsApp. I dunno if they hacked the app or something but I've seen reports that it actually works on a tablet. I researched that they just downloaded the app directly from Whatsapp, not from the market. I've done that already and still have the problem.
Is there a way to fix this issue?
Thanks

For tablets without 3g function (wifi only) I have discovered the only way to use Whatsapp on such a device is as followed:
1. Grab your normal phone
2. Use Titanium Backup and Backup your current Whatsapp.apk and data
3. Install Whatsapp (download from the site f.e) on your tab but don't open the app yet.
4. Transfer backed up data to your tab in a (newly made) folder called TitaniumBackup
5. Open TB and scroll to Whatsapp and restore data.
6.Open Whatsapp now and you have Whatsapp running on your tab.
Make sure you have opened up a few conversations with the people you want chat with so those conversations are there.
Disadvantage is when you open Whatsapp on your phone again, it won't show the chats you have on your tab and vice versa.
Good luck

Wow it works.
EDIT: But my phone stops receiving Whatsapp messages anymore. You can only use one at a time. I was hoping that atleast both devices will receive messages.

I actually might have to register a different phone number with this one so I can use individually. But it was great that you showed me how to make it work
Go phone sim card FTW!

Yeah I know, had mentioned that in my post unfortunately
Good idea is indeed to buy a random SIM card, place it, register and open up all the chats with people you want to chat with and transfer data at least that number will be registered and rdy to use on your tab, good luck!

So, if you own an iPhone, are out of luck to get this running on the touchpad?

i think so cuz the titanium backup file carries our phone numbers and our stored chats....don't want you using our numbers lol but hey you could put ur sim into a friend's rooted android phone and register the whatsapp through there....and then take that backup file to your touchpad

Thanks for the response. Unfortunately I don't have access to an android phone on my network (my gf has android on Verizon, I have att so that's a no go). I guess I'll have to wait for whatsapp to approve tablets.

Why isn't Google backing up my WIFI passwords!?

Howdy people...I'm not sure why, but google seems not to ever want to store my wifi passwords. Stock GB..never worked...CM10 doesn't work. I'm currently running the excellent leaked stock ICS...why does google recover everything else but my passwords? (and yes I have the box ticked to enable backups) is there anyway I can explore my account server to retrieve them? The landlord of local is getting racked off with me asking every time I mess about and install a new ROM! Help much appreciated.

Titanium Backup can do it but I don't know if that's in the free version, you can also just make a .txt and put it on your external sd card.

On cm where is the problem to look into data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf file?
And write down the password? LoL...

same here, I use Titanium Backup (pro)
for me it used to work on CM7
but it didn't on the experimental CM9 builds or on CM10

I did sometimes, isn't it?
Don't really know why, but it's the same for me with the automatic app recovery after full wipe.
Sometimes they get restored, sometimes not. Same with the WIFI psswds.

It says during initial screens but it never did seems like bug ...

they've never been recovered with me. I've had the phone for 6months or so.. It's a bit of a pain. I keep flashing new roms but you'd have expected them to sync in the same way as with contacts etc! anyway. It would just be great to know whether it's my phone playing up or my Google account. It has to be one of the two... I'm guessing ill never know as it seems you can't check what is actually stored on the Google server.

This is what I do. It's probably the most reliable way to store your Wi-Fi passwords.

Samsung Smart Switch? Transfer apps and app data?

Hey,
I'm looking to swap to Note 7. I've always been accustomed to root and have all my phones backup with Titanium backup. The app allows me to backup all data including the data of each app. I would like to switch to the new Note, but have certain apps which I want to preserve the data for. For example, I used Naver LINE app (chat), Whatsapp, and WeChat which has some chat data which I want to transfer over. With Titanium Backup, I can do this without problem. Will Smart Switch be able to move everything or will it just transfer the app, but I loose the data?

Smart switch has not been able to do this for me. It just copies the app and it takes forever. I have to use helium. But you need to buy the premium version though as the free version is limited.

I set up fresh. Only used smart switch to transfer pics and SMS.

Do you use LINE? Did helium work?
I need to somehow mimic these steps without root
Fast procedure (requires rooted phones)
If you don't remember your LINE PIN code, now is the last chance to change it, LINE will ask for it after you switch. Even if you never set one, it will ask you so better set it now.
Root both of your Android phones, old and new (absolutely required)
Install Titanium Backup (free) on both phones.
On the old phone, make sure LINE is not running, launch Titanium backup, and backup LINE (App+Data).
Copy the Titanium Backup folder (typically /sdcard/TitaniumBackup/) from your old phone to your new phone. It should contain 3 files or so.
On the new phone, install LINE (don't start it yet), launch Titanium Backup and use it to restore LINE (App+Data).
On the new phone, install Root Browser, and use it to copy /data/data/jp.naver.line.android/databases/naver_line to your /sdcard/, then transfer it to a desktop computer (via ADB or email)
Open this file in SQLiteBrowser, go to the Execute SQL tab.
Type delete from setting; then press the Execute button. Save and exit, then copy the file back to /data/data/jp.naver.line.android/databases/naver_line
Start LINE on the new phone and log in. All of your data will be just like you left it.
This restores your friends, chat history, call logs, groups, groups chat history.

All you have to do is use the transfer plug provided with thr note 7 you plug it into a micro usb plug the micro into your old device the usb c adapter and it starts to transfer everything you have on the phone. Doesn't take long depends how many gigs.

text messaging is different than in chat app like line.

I know Helium Premium will do it without root because I have done it before. It restores all data and apps at the same time. It's a great app and in my opinion its comparable to Titanium. I haven't used it in a long time, but it worked like a charm last time when I used it.

It transferred most everything, I was actually impressed. It didn't do my email account and settings, not my app logins, but everything else was just like my note 5.

for the most part it transfer everything. sticky note widgets, yahoo mail app with log in data, phone internal sd card data, call log, txt etc...
settings, ringtone ,alarms etc...
However the cable setup didnt work for me so i ended up using the pc app.
was surprised how everything was back in order

It copy all my apps etc I use a different launcher and I have a backup of that most of the stuff i ise is in my home screen so setup is very easy.

It will copy the apps but the not the data. For example facebook, amazon. It will not restore your login info and you will need to log in again. Same with games. It will not restore your score etc.

I can confirm that the statement above is pretty much correct.
I effectively tried all the transfer methods they have.
1) phone to phone with cable
2) phone to phone via wifi direct connection
3) phone to sdcard to phone via backup to and restore from scard
4) phone to computer to phone via smart switch on a Windows computer

Just like the other guy who made a thread about wifi performance. I would get very slow wifi performance every time I used smart switch. Once I set it up clean I was fine. In the end I decided that smart switch doesn't copy app data anyway so why use it.

Hi guys, I use this thread to tell you my experience with smart switch.
I thinked that this app can backup all the phone settings and all the apps settings..
But.. not?
I have a Galaxy S8 that i had to reset to factory defaults, I have restored backup hoping that all the settings of phone and apps will be restored.. but it has partially restored settings and only the apps (without the related settings)..
What I can do to backup all the settings from phone and apps to avoid losing one hour to manually restore phone when I reset to default?
Thank you a lot.

so is there any way that we dont have to login in all apps again please?
