[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xerro-Five:
I'm not sure if this would do you any good, but I moved from iPhone to my One this year and wanted to preserve many of the things you were concerned about as well. The nice part was that HTC sync manager software is able to read iPhone backup files (make sure they're not encrypted) and restored all of my texts, call history, contacts, and pictures rather painlessly. Well the texts took a couple attempts to get through all 75000 of them but it did eventually :)

There's really no hope of 99% of apps transferring data over though because they're fundamentally different on Android and ios. Even games that use cloud saves can't do this (angry birds, csr racing, etc). Also your saves are linked to an ios or Google account which are obviously not connected.

Now of course the catch to all this is I have no idea if this software would work with a non-htc phone, but just the fact that they can read ios saves means that it is possible to do, whether by sync manager or another program. Sorry I couldn't help more, just thought I'd put this out there.

Good luck! :)

On Android, the photos taken uses the date and time as the file name, the Gallery app can group images base on the time line or you can use some PC photo application to sort it the way you want. Geotag information are embedded in the JPEG so as long as you don't alter it, it's still there, just copy it over to the Nexus.

iPhone should have some way to sync your contact or export them to Google, then you just log into Google on your Android device and it'll auto sync your contacts. I don't think there is such thing as iCloud syncing on Android, that is an Apple exclusive service.

As for games, Google is working on introducing Google Play Games services on iOS, this is a cloud service to sync savegames and etc in between devices, Apple only have to be willing to work with Google to introduce this to iOS, however, I think Apple have their own competing similar service. There is a Google developer page on this so I think it will come to iOS someday.

My recommendation is stay with Apple if you required complete interoperability by Google, Apple make it difficult to transfer data from and to other platforms for a reason.

Hello,

Thank you for taking the time to write this up.

The call history and texts are a plus!

Also, when you used that software to transfer the images, did they go straight to the camera roll and were sorted by date taken?

Cheers!

I would like to apologize for the rude and pretentious android users, you had genuine questions and they jumped on you unfairly, I'll try to answer your questions to the best of my abilities (for the record I have had a many nexus devices and also an iPhone 5S/5).

These pictures should be easily converted over, just see if you can dump them on one of your laptops and store them in the pictures folder of your nexus once you have it connected to your computer, make sure none of your pictures are overwritten when you take new ones and you should be okay.

I wish there was something I could help you with on this, unfortunately I don't believe there is a backup and restore option for the call logs on iPhone, I know you can simply do this with a backup and restore with Titanium Backup on Android.

Again, no such app exists on the official iOS market place for backups and restores, you would need to think about jailbreaking your phone in order to see if you could back these up.

Spend a day on google and import your contacts and calender to the google contacts and calender, this will make sure you can access everything from just about everywhere, its easy to set up and it will transfer from phone to phone.

Cant sync the iCloud account, not really sure what that means though, since you have Gmail you have all your email at your fingertips on the Nexus anyways.

Again this may require a jailbreak in order to get the information you need, unless it officially supports it in the app itself.

Unfortunately you are going to lose your stats on games, unless you jailbreak and see that the save file is exactly the same as the android version of the save file.

I hope I was able to help a little bit, I would suggest jailbreaking your iPhone and seeing if you can get a usable backup from the device and go from there, I think you will enjoy the Nexus even though the OS has it's own limitations, you wont have to worry about jailbreaking your device on Android and you will get extra functionality that you will definitely miss on your iPhone. Spend the time to learn the ins and outs on your limitations and you should be set!

I'm on the same position . Thinking to sell iPhone 5 and get Nexus 5, and I don't give a .... about SMS or call logs, games history etc.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gdourado:
Hi,

Thank you all for taking the time to post your thoughts and comments.

Based on what you said, I did some research online and came to the following conclusions:

- It seems that there are software apps than can read into a full iTunes iPhone backup and extract some information.

With that kind of software, I can access the SMS messages and call logs and then transfer them to Android.

So, SMS and Call Log seems to be a non issue.

- Photos are also a non issue. With something like iFunbox I can extract all the original jPegs from the iPhone and then just copy them to the images folder on Android. Geo Tag is embedded on the file and so is date taken, so sorting them won't be an issue The same happens with the video files.

- Whatsapp chats can also be extracted from the iTunes backup. Then, they can be copied to android and once I install Whatsapp on Android, it seems I can restore from that backup file.

- Real Racing 3 on IOS has cloud save and restore feature. I will have to look into if they can be saved on IOS and restored on Android. That would be sweet.

- Contacts and Calendar. On the Mac, I can export this info in CSV and then import it to google. I will then have my contacts on Google contacts and my calendar on google Calendar. Then, Google Calendar and contacts can be synced to the Mac and iPad with no issues.

- The other games seem like they will be lost. But if it is just my progress on Angry Birds and cut the rope, no big deal... Although I might try to extract the App data from the iTunes backup and see if anything can be done with it.

So far it is looking good. Has anyone already tried any of these methods with success?

Cheers!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xerro-Five:
I just tried to find any kind of sign in to download my real racing 3 progress from my ios devices but I couldn't find anything. So it seemed the same as the rest. However, I found this https://c.getsatisfaction.com/firem...does_not_exist_in_real_racing_3_settings_menu Which clearly states you can use a Facebook account or Google+ account to access your saves cross platform :D

I also found this tutorial on how to restore texts to android http://www.redmondpie.com/how-to-transfer-iphone-sms-text-messages-to-android-tutorial/ I use SMS backup actually and it's a helpful app anyway so win-win. There's also a program called MobileTrans that seems to do the same thing as Sync Manager that I was talking about previously http://www.iphone-to-pc.com/how-to-transfer-copy-data-from-iphone-to-android.html. There's a free trial so you could try it out. Personally I have no idea if it works or not but you could look into I guess. I'd be interested to know!

Oh and I forgot to get back to you about the pictures; it didn't put them into the camera roll, it out them in the gallery as a separate album. I was happy with that but you can easily move them into the camera album after.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xXxG0dzRAgexXx:
Whether he wants to use iOS or not is irrelevant. He asked questions to try and take his data from his iPhone and put it on the Nexus 5. He didn't ask for your opinion about him using iOS. There is nothing wrong with wanting to try something different. I got bored of iOS and switched to android. Best decision ever. One day I'll get bored of android and might switch to something else. There's nothing wrong with that, its human nature. I know quite a few people who went android and back to iOS. People have preferences and different needs. There IS a reason why there is a massive number of apple followers. They must be doing something right.

So not to be totally off topic...

As for the OP, the save files for iOS games and Android games are different. So taking the data from your iPhone to Android isn't possible. Cloud save would need to be required in order to do so, and would need to support cross platform syncing. I'm unsure if any game features that
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Coweri:
An easy way to transfer data from iPhone to Android without root is by using a program called Backuptrans. It can help you switch data including Music, Video, Photo, Playlist, Message (SMS & MMS), Contact, Calendar, Call history, Bookmark etc from iPhone to your Nexus 5. All these data will be merged on Android so you won't lose any data. Hope it helps.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heisven:
Didn't read through all of the thread, but i switched from the iPhone 5 to the Nexus 5 as well.. a few things:

- SMS: Used iSMS2droid. Extracts SMS from iPhone backup. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.faked.isms2droid&hl=de

- Contacts: Simple. Synced Contacts between iPhone and Mac via iCloud, extracted contacts on mac as vcard or similar, imported to GMail/Google Account i use with the Nexus 5. Somebody else mentioned this before.

- Pictures: No idea, I don't keep too much pictures on my Phone, i like it clean. Import photos via iPhoto / Aperture on Mac or similar Photo database software and transfer it via USB. Or did I miss something here?

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sst:
Myself, i am in the same situation. Currently had an iPhone 4 for 3 years and now moving to Nexus 5. I have spent hours searching for ways of transferring the information across and this thread has been useful. It would be helpful to get some feedback from the OP if he has had success and which methods helped achieve this.

I found this link with regards to transferring whatapp messages :http://hkexperts.net/barry/migrate-whatsapp-history-from-iphone-to-android/ .

On a side note, this garbage about iPhone vs android is completely unhelpful in this thread as it is now just clogged!!

LS,

I have an unlocked AT&T Galaxy S3 (I747) and according to Kies, OS 4.1.1 is the latest firmware. However the international factory unlocked version (I9300) is 4.1.2.

Is there a way I can still ungrade to a new OS without getting my phone LOCKED back...?

FYI: I cannot do OTA as the phone looks for aupdates on AT&T server.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] winosxbuntu:
NOPE, just install custom stock touchwiz with the latest 4.1.2 update or go with odin and install stock firmware from samsung

plus kies is not always right and the international versions are always first to be updated/upgraded to the latest OS before the American (US) versions
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aldana:
If I use "OTAUpdater-1.0.5.apk" from OTA Update Center, will I be able to update the firmsware WITHOUT getting the device LOCKED back...?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] shoki666:
yes!!, this is the only form for make the upgrade...

for odin you can install the 4.1.2 firmware.... you can find in the forum for rom of stok...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] winosxbuntu:
In short if you have your phone rooted with custom recovery then you can flash the custom stock rom that is tweaked and less bloated or you can go with stock firmware from samsung and use odin to install it on your phone

I have a SGS 3 Dandroid 4.7 STOCK ROOTED DEBLOATED with KT747 kernel and am unlocked running on T-Mobile and its an at&t phone but its unlocked

Anywz you have it unlocked it can be locked unless by career but that won't happen, the point is yu unlock its unlocked forever , nothing can lock it back even if its going back to stock firmware, upgrading OS, flashing custom roms/kernels or switching carrier nothing will lock it, there nothing that affects your unlocked phone

JUST DONT EVEr I MEAN DONT EVER FLASH A ROM THAT IS NOT FOR THE Samsung Galaxy S3 At&T I747, but if the Dev says so then you can

For clearance it has to either from T-Mobile rom or a universal ROM for all carriers in the US

Sigh now go on and flash that B*tch
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aldana:
Thanks winosxbuntu for your prompt reply.

Basically, I dont know anything about this unit because I bought unlocked from the US, so I dont know which ROM was used. Can I still check that...?

I installed OTA Update Center [OTAUpdater-1.0.5.apk] but it doesnt work; I get a ROM error.

FYI: I dont have any mobile OS background knowledge, so i was relying on KIES.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] winosxbuntu:
yes just go to settings-about then you will find everything you need to know about your phone's rom, OS version, and more info

how did you end up in XDA if you dont know any mobile OS knowledge, if you are an average user its okay, but people tend to come to XDA for more knowledge about rooting their smartphones, anywz yu came to the right place, OS like Android is not hard to learn, same thing with "IOS" Apple OS (operating system) and windows phone 8/7 "Microsoft Mobile OS" and blackberry's, palm, windows mobile, symbian there is so much that i cant explain on this thread if you need more info, google it or follow this thread for root/your phone and more info in depth if that helps http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1725839 :cool:

Longtime lurker. But its time to contribute! I recently bought a TimingPower RK3188 and searched high and low for these tools. After endless hours of searching and translating Chinese and Japanese I brought this little package together to build your own CFW. This probably isn't for complete newbies but I made it as simple as possible. I can confirm it works on my TimingPower RK3188 using Rockchip Batch Tool as well as copying update.img to SD. Anyway, enjoy!

This is what it does:

Extract update.img as well as system.img

Pre-root your firmware

Open system folder to edit your rom

Repack update.img

[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] cmserio:
I bought 2 of these

I am quite happy with them. However, some notes are in order. I received them with firmware 20130715 installed, and that does not support 1080p. The timingpower.com website offers 2 updated images for it, one 20131101, the other 20131104. The 20131101 image has some improvements over the 20130715 version, but still offers only 720p, but the 20131104 version does offer 1080p. I updated both units to the 1104 version, and it went smoothly, but it can be a bit unstable at times. The screen and sound cut out at random intervals, but I got used to that, even thought it is quite annoying. Overall the picture is amazing (i use it on a 65" flat screen). Speed is acceptable, not a gaming computer, but fast enough. Takes a bit to get used to using it, keep wanting to right-click stuff for options, and get dumped back a screen.

Suggest that you get a USB 2 hub (more ports are better). I connected a USB keyboard, USB mouse and USB camera (all cheap, nothing fancy), and they all worked fine. However, the tiny Bluetooth keyboard (IS11-BT05) that I got, doesn't seem to work. It pairs up just fine, and shows as recognized, but after that, nothing.

One caution note: if you do flash your device, make sure that you use a newer computer, with USB 2.0 , really old PC's with USB 1.1 will not work.

Making your own version of the ROM shouldn't be too difficult. Plenty of advise here, and there are even some tools available on the TimingPower site. I'm in the middle of customizing mine, and I have not found it particularly difficult. I mainly want to scrap some of the basic stuff, and make it more sleek (to my tastes). I am also considering incorporating a dual-boot option, for Android <-> Linus (not sure of what flavor yet).

BTW, I have an English translated version of the Chinese RKBatchTool Manual, should anyone need it.
