Few questions regarding that app. I have an old OP6 and just got OP11 and used Google copy content from the old phone but that process simply will install the same apps on a new phone but will not copy over those apps' settings and data.
My question is if the Clone Phone app will copy those settings and app data or not? Also, can I clone only selected apps something similar to clone using the Titanium Backup app?
The oneplus clone app Copy only the apks not the app setings or app data
What the clone app can copy is the phone settings

Thanks for the prompt response. So simple it is almost redundant app compare with the initial copying process when the phone is set up for the first time.

This feature was never meant to clone app with settings in the first place so you could move apps from phone to phone.
For this you have Titanium Backup, Swift Backup etc.
Thanks for the clarification. I see that Swift Backup is currently the way to go.

Oneplus had their own stock transfer tools from one phone to another - maybe this will move your apps with data/settings included.
Cant remember the name because I disabled most of them by they should be included in the initial phone set up wizard or as a bundled app or avaiable from the Google Playstore from Oneplus.
Clone App is mostly for cloning apps like Whatsapp etc.
It does clone data but is very limited, meaning only compatible with a few apps like whatsapp. You will be informed before starting which data can be cloned which can't.
It is still useful in some ways, at least it is very fast (make use of wifi to wifi transfer)

The Clone Phone app copies everything. It's actually the only solution without rooting to do so.

But the above responses state that it doesn't - just grabbing plane apks without the data or external data folders.

Anti Viruses an android willo only slow down your device... youdont need an anti-viruses.
If you download some cracked apk or apps that arent form that play store, these app can modify your phone.
For the phone calls that you are not getting all of them, its kind of wierd.
If i where you, i would factory reset my my phone.
Are you on Android 4.3?
If yes here's how to do a factory Reset:
Go into settings > Accounts (Tabs) > Backup and reset and click on Factory Data Reset.
*** WARNING ***
THIS PROCEDURE WILL DELETE EVERY DATA ON YOUR INTERNAL STORAGE ON YOUR PHONE (your SD Card Data will not be Deleted)
So make shure that you do a backup of your data before doing that.
And wait till its done
And now it should work!

I don't agree about not needing an antivirus, but you certainly don't need two of them. I do agree that the best way to fix your phone is by doing a factory reset. And like what was said, it will delete all of the storage on your phone, so make sure you backup anything you want to save before proceeding.
You can use an app such as MyBackup from the playstore to backup most of your information. Just remember to move or copy the folder called "reware" off of your phone into a safe place (like your computer) after the backup, if you choose to use that app.

anti-viruse or not... i think its a personal choice... personnally, i know what files that are on my phone, i know files that i download. So, for me its not userfull. AND BEFORE INSTALLING ANY APPS I READ THE APP ACESS: this app will get acess to... : Anti-Virus on android are not very userfull for me exept to slow down my phone. But if you are the person who download random stuff and install random apps for shure that you need an anti-virus But still, its a personnal choice. But if you want to MAKE SURE at 100% that your phone is safe you could install an antivirus (avast is the best one on the market!!)

Agreed. Two antivirus is definitely over kill...both on practicality and on the battery. Unlike Windows, some basic attention to what you are downloading and installing along with paying attention to permissions will protect you more than any app. If you are paranoid, one antivirus is enough.
And factory reset is probably the only way to fix the issue as already stated. Sometimes starting fresh is the only way to fix issues...even on android.

Am I missing something? or is there no preinstalled File Manager?
Preinstalled apps, and google apps are the only apps allowed to write/edit to the miceSD card, so why wouldn't HTC install one?
Already regretting getting this phone, since I download a Lot of work files via my phone, and now I'm unable to move them from the downloads folder to the proper folder on the microSD.
Just downloaded one from Google play, loads to choose from.

Well I tried it, but that app, just like all the other ones on the play store do not let you move files from the phone memory to the microSD.
It won't let you Delete anything either...
All you can do is view the microSD. No writes can be made to it.

Yes the files on the microSD can be altered via the PC. But apps like airDroid won't work anymore.
Working all the go, I don't have time to stop to plug the phone up to the computer every time I need to move/rename/delete a file.

same boat here. I copy via USB2go all the time on my Note 3, and this is crippled for the M8. There's a work around, but you need to unlock the boot loader first, which for me is a pain, since it will reset the phone. I'm pretty OCD and it takes me some time to set everything up the way I like it. At this point, i'm just doing the PC transfer thing.

Google Drive saves any downloaded files to the internal memory, under the download folder. And there is no way to change where its saved to (that I know of)
It was just a poor choice of Google to disallow 3rd Party Apps from emaking changes to the external memory. They should have atleast
Made it a requirement for the manufacturer to include a file manager. Or Google them self should have. I understand they trying to push people to use Google Drive, but until data usage is free I won't used Google Drive to save nothing more than Google docs.

A google backed file manager with full write permissions would be awesome, but that would be going against what they are trying to accomplish.
Hey warriors!
Pls help - after installing apk and storing obb files into sd card/android/obb folder I cannot run any HD game with my G3. The application will not find the files.
My procedure:
- download apk + cache
- install apk
- place obb files into obb folder (usually the files are already in a correctly named folder, e.g. "com.pixelbite.rr3" (for recklessracing3), so I just extract and copy them from my PC over to SD card)
- run apk - it will then give me an error message, or just look for the files for eternity, or simply just crashes
I have tried couple of games - NOVA3, MC5, RecklessRacing with no luck
- is it because I am not rooted?
- is it necessary to change something in phone settings prior to installing?
- or simply what I am doing wrong?
Many thanks for your help!

Most of the time, that stuff is stored in the /data partition which you cannot access to write to without root. The only "people" that can access and write to that area are the app itself that wrote to it initially, and an account with root access.
Some games might store some "cache" to the internal sd card, but that all depends on the app.
This is why using the cloud is so much better for game advancement, but not all games are using that.

I think I got your point but what would be the safest way to install games without issues? Will rooting the device solve the problem, or is there still some work to do most of the time with every game?
And if root is OK, is there any one-click root available for G3 which is safe? I am very good at bricking the phones

The only other way to make this work, and you would have had to backed everything up before, is to use Helium which (without root) requires you to have a Windows or Mac client app installed on your PC and you hook up you device that way. It can then backup the data and restore it, without root. However, it only works with certain apps. Not all apps can be backed up with Helium.
As for rooting, it depends on which model of G3 you have. Overall, rooting is easy, but it depends on which version of the Android OS it's running and again, which model of G3 you are using. I don't want to go into it with this thread as it can all be discovered by going to the following FAQ thread in the OP and finding the section for rooting. There it explains which root method works on which model of phone and what version of the OS you must be on. Again, this all depends on the model of the phone you have. Here is the link to the FAQ post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/help/help-thread-lg-g3-question-t2947298
After that, you can use a lot of different apps to backup and restore your app and data. TiBu is the most popular one.

What? You have me confused.
What are you expecting to happen when you download an app from Google Play? Not sure what you are asking...
i just want to tranfer app data from a rooted phone (app isnt working right on the phone) to a tab S im barrowing, but i believe i have to pay titanium to do that.
the tab s isnt rooted (would prefer not to root it as it isnt mine), any other options?

Okay just looked in android/data after installing it and it was nowhere, what was it called? I think it might be storing data in the DATA/DATA folder which is only writable to if rooted so i believe, although i wounder how other apps manage to write data there ☺
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.contextlabs.facefeed
and i believe its data/data > com.contextlabs.facefeed

Okay i have your answer, this is an option for you and you will be able to do it without root.
You can use Android's backup function.
adb backup -noapk com.app.packagename
You will now be prompted to 'unlock your device and confirm the backup operation'. It's best NOT to provide a password, otherwise it becomes more difficult to read the data. Just click on 'backup my data'. The resulting 'backup.ab' file on your computer contains all the app's data in android backup format. Basically it's a compressed tar file. You can use the adb restore backup.db command to restore the backup..
Found this with a bit of googling, goodluck.
EDIT
And this is a great gui for
adb

How do we set up our devices exactly how we like with the apps we like and customised settings for each app.... and then save them all onto the SD card so we can then flash in another flavour of ROM to try out and simply add our saved apps all set up and ready to go....?
It takes forever to re-set all my apps i like to use.... and as I'm hopefully going to have MultiROM working asap I would hope that I can simply flash in a ROM to try and 'add' all my apps to it with with one click but importantly with all their settings exactly how I use them.
I agree. Maybe you could try the Titanium Backup donate version. I think it has a "Create zip" option. I just can't comment further as I've never used it.

Thanks for that.... looks worth having
however... I've now discovered that I lost the original full root access I had on KK when i installed CM12 and I'm gonna guess that full root access is tied in to the kernel and of course Android 5.x.x is built on a different kernel and therefore needs re-rooting....? CyanogenMod grants App and ADB root via menu in developer options but that is obviously a limited root access and not enough for APK Organise...?
When i try the APK organise it denies me the backup saying 'No root access'.... which surprised me initially.
I can't seem to find a working root-tool for Android 5.1.1. which is what I'm currently on in CM12.1.... anyone know where I can find please as this APK organise looks like a very useful tool to have working from within Windows and makes it easy to keep the backups on my laptop harddrive instead of the sd card
Use zipme available on playstore.
It makes zip flashable with apk data and also settins if selected ....

You don't need to root CM, simply enable root access in the developer options.
Apart from that, I've been using Titanium Backup pro for years and I'm very happy with it.
Edit: sry, I didn't see the upper half of your post. Anyway, the CM root access is enough for TitaniumBackup. Maybe it's the app that has to be updated for lollipop, I remember TitaniumBackup had some issues in the first days of lollipop, too.

As luckyrumo points out these apps 'APK Organise' and the 'ZipMe' you recommend may well need updating to work with Android 5..... ZipMe hasn't been touched since 2013 according to the 'last updated' info.
I have Titanium Backup free version and tried using the backup app + data in batch prefs menu prior to having to do a wipe and clean install of CM12.... but when I reinstalled the Titanium backup app it failed to show the backups that were made previously and supposedly stored on my sd card along with everything else that has never been affected on the sd card. during ROM installations and associated full wipes... I think the backup disappeared when the app was wiped... I can't think of any other logical explanation....? I wonder if the paid version makes a difference...?
One particular app I use is Call Meter 3G which keeps track of my available contract free minutes by way of progress bar homescreen widget tracking any given monthly period and of course it does so by logging all my calls,messages and data use (tho I get unlimited data on my plan so that is not important). Because of the sheer volume and complexity of all the settings to get this app customised to work with my carrier plan it's a pain to have to set-it all up again when re-installing apps after flashing a custom ROM... and without the call logs you will always be starting part way thru a month so it won't be accurate until the bill cycles and a new month begins.
If I can get MultiROM working (no luck so far) having a one click install for apps and customised settings will make life much easier as I plan to try out ALL available ROM's alongside my primary. I only have one device at this stage so MultiROM is a no brainer for me... If I could just get it to install !!!!!

i also on CM 12.1 Lollipop 5.1.1... (Weekly 5 - JustArchi)

as i installed CM 12.1 in CWM, at restart system, i was asked for fixing root... i have choosen "yes"
for APK Organize choose root access for apps + adb in developer options and activate debug mode. should work, worked for me...
