How to Transfer apps to SD Card without rooting on Note 8.0N5100? - Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti

Is there a way to transfer all apps to the external SD Card without having to root the phone? Also, most guides i have seen require windows can it be possible using a Mac instead of a PC, i have vmware installed on my Mac which allows me to run windows XP will this work to do this? Where can i find a good step by step guide? Please help also is there an actual android version 4.2 out yet that can be installed on the device without rooting or anything like an official download from samsung?
Thank you!

For Galaxy Note 2 users who couldn't move apps to their SD card:
Connect your phone to your PC, install and open KiesAir. It will alert you that there is a FIRMWARE UPDATE. Install it and a Google Play Store app called "AppMgr III".
Voila! It works!
They must have heard our cries! No "rooting" or other scary tech geek remedies needed!

It does work but it still doesn't move many apps.
Without root what will it take.

Oh, not sure. It moved all my apps that were moveable -- the ones installed by me. Not the Samsung factory installed apps. But that works for me. Stuff like instar am and Netflix were eating up space!

Broken LCD/Digitizer, Need Data Off of Device

Hey guys. SO, I recently dropped my Note II. The screen shattered, but was entirely responsive to touch input and functioned normally (besides shards of glass splintering into my fingers haha) I kept telling myself I would get it fixed "soon" and before I did, it dropped again. This time the screen was not displaying properly and no longer responded to touch except on the notification bar. I pulled the battery and restarted the phone. The screen is no longer lighting up or displaying anything but the phone still boots up as I can hear the startup sounds and flood of incoming text messages.
I previously rooted my phone, left the stock rom on....
Now my intent is to adb into the phone via laptop and usb. and making a "clockwork recovery style image" and then hopefully use an emulator to run the image to extract my data from it. Looking for any guidance or suggestions to get my data back from the device.
Any suggestions xda'ers?

This was looking like a good candidate, but I do not have any screen functionality on the device. If I had CWM instead of TWRP I might be able to guess at the volume buttons and hope I can flash the zip blindly.
Do you need to enable Terminal Emulator su on the device before connecting with adb?

Not the app. Install it on your computer. I have known quite a few that have used the pc version of kies to pull data from their phones with no screen. I havent done it myself as I havent had the need yet. But goodluck.

You can connect a usb mouse + HDMI TV.
So I can push the Kies apk to my phone like installing any app using adb. Then I install Kies on my laptop and plug in my phone and then follow the prompts on screen on my laptop?
You download and install the pc version. You make sure the drivers are installed on your pc. You connect ypur phone to the computer through usb. You go through the menu on your pc to find a backup menu. You backup and pull what you need. No need for an app on the phone.

Kies was able to successfully backup my contacts for me. But how am I able to import them to a new phone. I expected the exported file to be in .vcf format. Well hoped, I expected this to happen. Also is there any desktop apps you are aware of to read the current text messages on the phone? Or rather, is their a GN2 emulator that can run using CWM recovery images to boot from? I would like to extract my bookmarks from my 3rd party browser and a couple other information from 3rd party apps.

I would like to recover my notes from noteeverything, encrypted database stored in internal memory of device. Bookmarks from Naked Browser, Bookmarks from Stock browser. My S Notes. All of my apps, their apks. I would like to also browse around my device and make sure I am not forgetting anything. If I knew of an emulator than ran CWM images that would suit all of my needs.
So I am not sure if it is just marketing, but would any/all hdmi mhl adapters work?

They mention compatibility with certain phones on each adapter.

Well in the meantime I have something that should help. And be useful when you get a replacement phone. Assuming you can boot the device into download mode, flash THIS in the PDA slot of odin. It will then automatically boot to TWRP recovery and do a nandroid backup of data. This will backup EVERYTHING in /data. You can then pull the backup to a pc via adb or windows explorer and extract what you want from it using 7zip. This will not only guarantee that you don't miss anything but as an added bonus you can just restore the nandroid to your new phone when you get it.
As for anything on internal storage, your best bet is hooking up to adb (preferably in recovery to avoid permission issues) and running adb pull /data/media/ or browsing the phone via windows explorer
EDIT: I noticed in your other thread that you aren't too skilled in the adb department. If need be I have a second copy of what I posted above with one addition. It will automatically copy the backup to your external sdcard after it's created. Let me know if you'd rather have that one instead.
It its on the internal memory I can browse it via windows explorer. But don't I also need the /system folder as well as data?
I wouldn't mind buying the adapter, it is only $5, where as a new screen is $190 + install. I am still unsure how I go about using a mouse on my device through the mhl adapter?
EDIT:
I notice that it is thru Bluetooth that you allow the device to have a mouse and keyboard. Hmm. I would not be able to force the pairing of a bluetooth keyboard/mouse would I? Without any device on-screen interaction...?
Also I was thinking I could use this toolkit to make a nandroid.

On Android 4.3 root is not required to move your apps to SD. Please note, by default you can only move an app if the developer of that app has this option enabled within the app itself. You can check this by going in to application manager and see if the move to sdcard option is enabled or grayed out.
Thanks!
Thanks I had thought that native Android always supported this and it was Samsung that stopped /blocked this is that correct? In this new version of the OS is it Samsung that have now allowed this function?

Sorry to seem dumb, are you saying that Google have forced Samsung NOT to lock out the ability to run apps on the SD Card in 4.3 as Samsung have done in the past?

OH right I see, so my understanding was wrong then, it wasn't Samsung that stopped/blocked this. I thought it was as when I had tried using move to SD Card apps , they all wouldn't work on my Note 2 and when I queried it with the devs they all indicated that it was a Samsung thing.

Anyone having problems with their SD card?

do you mean it pops out or the phone doesn't recognize it
if it is the phone recognizing option how old is your sdcard because after 2~3years the sdcards starts failing
No, it's physically fine. It's actually brand new. My issue is that some apps seem to lose it. My file manager doesn't show it connected but let's me connect to it manually for example.

I'm going to assume that you have already installed the TWRP custom recovery. You probably already know that you have to do that before you can obtain root. Aside from being able to flash custom ROMs, none available right now, there are a number of apps that you can install that do a number of things that you cannot do without root. I'll list a few that I use and what they do but the list is not all encompassing:
--Titanium Backup (root)--a great tool for freezing unwanted apps, backing up apps/data etc
--Greenify--enables you to set user installed apps to "hibernate" a few minutes after you have finished using them. Significantly improves battery life.
--LagFix--an app, when run, that can eliminate "lag" when/if it occurs on the phone most of the time.
--SD Maid--a great file manager app that enables you to control which apps start at power on, enables the user to really clean out cache, duplicate files, orphaned files and compact databases. Saves memory resources and keeps your phone running smooth and clean.
--adaway--as the name implies, keeps those pesky little ads from showing up in apps.
--exposed--a favorite of many users. Enables you to customize a number of settings, notifications etc.
That's the apps I use that can only be run with root. I'm sure some other users will chime in here an provide some other things that root offers.
Thanks , I got root last night
First are there things I should enable or disable to protect root. Is it OK to run the My Verizon app and VZ Protect. Are there any applications that I should not run?

You can run anything you want, it's not going to hurt root. Root is really only a door, or access, to settings/system files that you wouldn't normally have. Any app that you can run without root can be run safely with root. The opposite is not true. There are a number of apps that cannot be run without root. A good way to find most of the apps that require root is to go to the Play Store and just search for "root apps". There's a bunch out there that you may want to try.

The only thing you have to be aware of to protect root is taking an OTA update. Now that you have a custom recovery and root the likely hood that you would be able to find and download an OTA is not likely, but if by chance you receive a notice that an OTA is available do not download and install it. If by chance the phone automatically downloads it and tries to install it, the OTA should fail so you'll be alright.
Be careful not to flash or ODIN a retail firmware. That is probably the biggest warning I can offer. Retail firmware, when flashed, will lock your bootloader. You can flash a modem or a kernel or a recovery, but not the entire firmware .tar md5 file.

By the way. Since you are new to root and custom recoveries, the first thing you should do, right now, is do a backup. Power off your phone, go into TWRP recovery (hold down the volume up, home and power buttom all at the same time). Continue to hold them down until you see the TWRP splash screen, then you can let them go. From the on screen menu select backup. Choose which file you want backed up. I recommend you do boot, system, data, modem, EFS and recovery as a minimum. After the backup is complete return to the main menu and select reboot. Do it right now

I have already paid for FoxFi and it works great even without root.

I'm not sure, I don't use it. But, if I remember correctly I think you go into settings>more networks>and turn on mobile hotspot. But again, I don't use it so I'm not sure. Have you done your backup yet? It is the only safety net you will have until a developer releases a ROM we can flash. Don't look for Samsung to release any firmware for the Developer Edition...it ain't going to happen. Your backup and TWRP are the ONLY safety net you have right now. I can't emphasize that enough.

It's diffidently a good idea to have a recent backup and the original backup of your stock ROM. The only problem with a lot of backups is keeping straight what backup is what and the amount of space they consume. Memory is cheap I know, but backups can eat up storage real fast, LOL.
Yes. Agree with space but every backup I do, I also have my TWRP folder sync'd to my Dropbox account. So what ever changes are made go their. I also save them on the laptop as well as a thumb drive. Been burned once on my note 3. Now, is there the stock md5 file for the developers edition like on the note 3's?

No there is not a stock md5 for the DE and there most likely will not be. In the past Samsung has never released a firmware package for their DE phones, not that I have ever seen anyway. What your phone came with is what you got. NO OTAs and no updates of any kind in the future...that's if Samsung behaves like they have in the past. That's why making a good back up of your stock (no root) when you first get recovery is so important. And, making a backup after root of course.
Do you mind me asking how you sync..............

Latest HTC lockscreen update essentially soft bricked my phone.

Hi all,
The latest update has some issues- the OS boots and I am immediately presented with a system.ui has been stopped dialogue. I'm unable to open the app drawer, open an app, open the notification drop-down. The popup appears almost immediately after dismissing. I think the Testers really missed something here.......
I'm going to have to try and locate the previous version and hope I can install it through twrp.
Has anyone else seen this happen?

I was unable to install the apks located there in the traditional way. I tried to install them through TWRP via adb push file.apk /system/app but it didn't work. I'm unaware of how to install APKs outside of the system otherwise? Regardless, downgrading, if this method is viable, didn't work. I had to completely wipe clean and start fresh.

Do you encrypt your phone? I feel like the update didnt transfer encryption presets and new app is trying to unlock without decryption codes or something.

Wipe and start over. I had to. I have work calls that I can't be absent for. Thanks HTC. My phone was out of service for ~3 hours while I figures this out and the phone got completely usable again after flash+settling.

I do mate, it's stock still. I didn't have to change anything regarding that, fired up as normal and asked for my PIN to decrypt device.
Just thinking, if you can battle it go and uninstall the update via settings and apps

The bug doesn't allow the user to enter any screen. So doing this is not an option

on what rom you are? and you @typhoonikan ?
...and on what rom version you are, still marshmallow I assume.
A logcat will be really helpful.

Viper 3.5.0. I haven't upgraded to ANdroid 7.0 for reasons.

I was unable to install the apks located there in the traditional way. I tried to install them through TWRP via adb push file.apk /system/app but it didn't work. I'm unaware of how to install APKs outside of the system otherwise? Regardless, downgrading, if this method is viable, didn't work. I had to completely wipe clean and start fresh.

Not sure if HTC is to blame, or we...or you being still on marshmallow.
Next time please post in the viper thread, then I would have seen your post much earlier to debug your issue.
we found the issue.
run:
adb shell settings put system tweaks_hquicksettings Tweaks
..and it will be fixed. when you resetup your toggles, don't pick any of the two sync toggles.
I'll create a flashable zip to remove those soon.

You should have been able to fix it without wiping by booting to recovery and dirty flashing the ROM.
EDIT: No, this actually won't work. Sorry

Thank You! Flashing this file fixed the issue and saved me a huge headache. Now to take away the HTC Lockscreen app's
"auto update" rights since it clearly can't be trusted.

read the info on our homepage.
Not sure who is to blame, htc or we.
You can install the update, with either the fix installed or the sync toggles removed.
or you dirty flash the fullrom on top, that way the sync toggles stay working.
..what I'm wondering, why so many people are still on marshmallow...

There's a few xposed modules I like.
Is nougat really that big a difference? I have it on my tablet and it's very similar to marshmallow.

guiness is also just a usual beer.
Well I like Marshmallow and Nougat. But I don't like Guinness!
If Guinness had Xposed modules then I'd drink it!
I have this problem on my m8 as well. Unfortunately I was not able to solve this problem with your post. I cannot execute the adb command since adb is telling me that my device is offline (I booted into the OS with the screen going on and off).
I also flashed the zip file, but it didn't work out either. I am not sure which version of viper I have (I assume it's the 6.0.1), so I tried different zips but no success...
Could anyone tell me what I did wrong? I really don't want to do a full reset.

another way would be to go to twrp->advanced->file manager
navigate to /data/app/ and delete the com.htc.lockscreen folder do the same in /data/data
boot up, then go back to recovery and flash the fullrom on top.
if nothing helps, you can do a twrp backup, then clean flash. Now you can restore your apps and data with titanium backup.
Been looking for a solution to this ! My gf phone had the exact same issue, dirty flashed and still no good etc.
I shall try the packages J posted. Thanks so much!
