[Q] Other app than smart switch? (it doesn't work on my droid turbo) - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge

is there anyway to transfer my texts and music from my droid turbo to my S6? Moto Migrate worked awesome from my S4 to Turbo but doesn't work the other way around. I won't have a computer available for some time so that isn't an option at this time.
EDIT:: Found the Verizon app which worked called Content Transfer. Actually worked well.
Thanks

Vzw cloud work?

[Q] Motorola Restore Connectivity Settings App?

I saw in the market there's an app made by motorola called "Restore Connectivity Settings" for the Razr. Can this be made to work on the bionic? It's irritating that Motorola has addressed this issue for the Razr but not the Bionic. If anyone can make it work on the Bionic that would be awesome!

Google Now

Has anyone tried flashing Google Now since we got root? I know we don't have a custom ROM but there's got to be a way right. I just tried a couple and the closest I got wouldn't even let me into Google Search after. Any thoughts or tips would be great!
Go Figure
Ok so every time I get frustrated enough to post something, it always manages to work itself out. I downloaded the remove google now zip and rebooted, then went to check google search and low and behold I had google now. So just so you know, if you didn't, it works, no special roms needed. Just a little time, trial and error

I didn't flash since I don't have CWM, just extracted zip through es explorer and followed directions for manual install. Also tried Gnow handlebars, so I really couldn't tell you what worked.
I can confirm that the manual method works
Thanks for the link, Now has to be my favorite feature from jb
Did you get voice to work? Mine won't

Couldn't get it to work after a manual install for some reason. But gnow handlebars works.

Handlebars won't ever make it past 18% on any of them. Yours did?

Mine never made it past 21%, so I did the manual install, and it worked great! V7 Full
The manual method worked just fine for me. I didn't appear to work at first but then I rebooted and a prompt came up saying "Updating Android" (or something like that) and it worked. Definitely my favorite JB feature. As far as I'm concerned I now have Android Jelly Bean Sandwich! LOL
I had trouble with that also lol It won't extract it to the sd card right

I'd suggest turning the screen timeout to never and don't touch the phone while installing through handlebars then reboot after. Worked like a charm.

i installed Google Now via the manual method and it worked after i did a reboot
the only downside is that when I used Google Nav, the TTS voice does not read out street names anymore
I have Bell Atrix HD and it was a british guy's voice that was previously doing the TTS, but after this install it was a woman's voice
When I tried go to into the "Language & Input" of the phone settings, it would force close.
Fortunately I made a backup of all files on Titanium Backup right after I rooted my phone, so I installed and restored the GoogleTextToSpeech.apk and now my Nav works and I do not have any more FC's.
Google Now also works fine, so not sure why it needed a new TTS file.
SO make sure you guys do a backup!!!

how do I backup without root?

I'm used to running recovery backups and titanium backup to get my apps and data backed up.
how do I do this on 4.4 without root? I'd like to try running a factory reset on my moto x to see if I can fix the active notification unlock lag but don't want to lose everything (photos, progress in games, app settings)
thanks
You can use this or something similar to back up your app settings and saves.

As for pictures you should back them up manually over USB.

it says in the description that it does not work with motorola devices...have you tried?
It works with the moto x. I've used it a number of times.
Though, it has many short comings compared to titanium.
1) you need to have it connected to a computer in order to use it. There is a desktop client that must be installed.
2) not every app is supported... But the car majority of them are.
3) if you don't want to back up to a cloud, then restoring is a pain. If you want to do a local backup then you need to jump through some hoops...
Overall, it's better than nothing and now that I got it figured out, it's quick and painless... But it's definitely not titanium.

ParanoidAndroid & Kijiji app

Ever since I've installed this rom a few versions ago I cannot install the kijiji app from the play store. It says it's not compatible with my device and doesn't give me the option to install . I've tried installing the apk manually but the app continually crashes. Anyone have any advice?
Did you try clearing its data/cache?
Or is it just on that ROM? I have had to side load a lot of shopping type apps too....usually I just copy them to dropbox from my phone. Don't usually have an issue.

How to transfer data when smart switch won't work?

I'm coming from a rooted, rommed Note 4. I'm used to using Titanium Backup for backup and restore, but obviously, lacking root on the Note 7, that's not an option. I tried Smart Switch, but it isn't transferring the data I really need, like for Signal Messenger or Google Authenticator. Helium (pro) also won't work for these. Am I out of luck?
I also came from a Note 4. I could not get Smart Switch to work using cables as I was instructed on the phone. I went to a TMO store and the tech tried Smart Switch putting both phone on the same wifi network. Then everything transferred fine.
Yeah, I got it to transfer over wireless too, but it didn't transfer the data for certain apps, most crucially, Google Authenticator and Signal Messenger.
Use helium app but you need to buy the pro version

My gf could not get her text messages. Even though it said it transferred.

Smart Switch wouldn't install on my Nexus 6 from the Play Store, and the cable method wouldn't work either. So, I installed and re- set-up every single app manually. This was before I found out about Helium. Makes you REALLY miss Titanium Backup. But, at least the phone is fresh with fresh installs of everything.

Use the backup / restore using external sd.
