What ended up working for me was to enter nothing in the password field.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mods] Ripley30:
Just for clarification, I used this app on my S6 w/ Marshmallow for almost a year so I'm familiar with how it's supposed to work. I even used it to move app data from my S6 to my S7 so the recovery part works fine, it's just the backup that seems broken.

If I wait and let the program proceed by itself the "Performing backup" pops up, then after about 30 seconds I get the desktop password error. I'm aware that Marshmallow is encrypted by default, and I've entered my device pw in the appropriate place in Helium.

I've even factory reset to put all the settings back to default in an attempt to level-set everything again, and still no love.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mods] meyerweb:
And what I'm saying is that putting in my device password wouldn't work. NOT putting in any password (just leaving the field blank when prompted) is what finally got backup to work.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mods] Ripley30:
Yes, I understood you the first time, and thank you for your input. It still doesn't work for me.

I'm hoping the developer might jump in here, or is this the wrong forum?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mods] goremasta:
Looking at the troubles, it may seems the this apps is getting old, the last update is July 15 2015. I'm not so sure if it still supported by the developer. They even never respond my email
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mods] meyerweb:
My work-around of not entering a password, which worked for two backups, no longer works. The developer doesn't respond to problem reports. I think this is "abandonware." The dev is happy to continue to take our money, but is unavailable to provide any support at all.

Pretty much useless.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mods] Rintenfinten:
Sadly, this app does not seem not to be supported any more.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mods] Dmitry N:
Thanks for the nice meme! :)

Actually, all apps by Koush are this kind of ware.

He makes nice apps from time to time, but then abandons them.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mods] Ripley30:
How unfortunate, especially since this is the only non-root backup app that actually does a decent job.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mods] meyerweb:
And since he's still taking people's money for the premium version.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mods] goremasta:
Yes!

That's make it SO unfair for the paying customer...

If only I knew, I'll buy titanium backup instead of this piece of garbage:(
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mods] Ripley30:
Titanium needs root.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mods] goremasta:
Yeah ; I noticed that.

But it doesn't really matter now...

I'd rather be paying for the supported apps, needs rooting, compared to unsupported-non-root.

:(
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mods] Ripley30:
My S7 is a Snapdragon (unrootable), so I'm still searching for a decent non-root backup solution. Something that will backup data and apps, as well as phone data like call logs, sms data and TouchWiz.

Any recommendations?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mods] peachpuff:
Use helium backup for apps/data and mybackup for logs/sms/mms.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mods] Ripley30:
Thanks Peachpuff, but I think you missed all my previous posts saying that Helium is not working on my phone (I get the "desktop password") error. I'm here looking for an alternative or a fix/workaround for the error.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mods] Geoz:
I know a lot of people are getting this error and my trick that works for me is just unplug the USB cable and plug in again after desktop recognition
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mods] Ripley30:
I've tried this as well and no love. I've googled every way I can think of and tried every solution I can find to no avail.

For those of you still searching I did find that ADB Backup works. It's kind of a pain since you have to backup/restore via ADB but it seems to work. I also think it's what Helium is based on since I get a similar popup referencing my encrypted device and telling me I'm required to encrypt the backup file.

I've included the link for anyone who is searching for an alternative.

Cannot enable usb debugging to use helium.

I have corporate exchange, thus cannot root.

Is there a known metode to enable usb debugging by disabaing the knox package?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mods] Geoz:
Settings/About device and then software version and tap build version 7 times to activate Developer options. Hit back and it'll be activated and you can now enable usb debugging by entering Developer options.

Helium - App Sync and Backup new version 1.1.4.2 released on July 4, 2016 works perfect for me without problems. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.backup
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mods] themissionimpossible:
The Windows tool you posted (however not free...;)) is actually called "Samsung Messages Backup" and its primary job is apparently backing up text messages (and not only on Samsung phones).

The real need of a backup app/tool is to save/restore app related data possibly without root.

However, in that web page the "Samsung Messages Backup" Windows tool doesn't clearly state that it's able to do a real app data backup/restore, but maybe it actually can...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mods] nastypup:
Helium worked perfectly on my S7 Edge. But I rooted 2 days ago and now, I can't restore my data. It constantly throws error codes. I wrote to tech support but haven't heard anything. I really need it to work.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mods] Geoz:
It seems logic to me, your settings is changed,

you backed up whilst unrooted and now want to restore whilst rooted.

Keep in mind that backup is mostly data from rooted device.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mods] nastypup:
It didn't work on my S7 after I rooted it. Tech support hasn't replied after 3 days. I have premium. Not happy.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mods] Looneer:
I made a post about Helium not backing up seemingly 'local' data from Temple Run 2 here. Would love to hear if people have some suggestions on how I can do a complete backup, not just stuff that usually syncs through Google Games.

I have also asked koush but not holding my breath.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mods] Fullmetal Jun:
Do a manual backup ;)

In Android folder - com.imangi temple run - files, there's a file named gamedata.txt! It contains all the info of your account and money and gems. Keep a copy safe in a backup folder.

Then copy/overwrite the gamedata.txt in the Android folder whenever you want!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mods] Looneer:
Hi. Thank you very much for the advice. However, I do not see a file like that in that directory. Do you have any more advice on how to locate that file or whether it's saved somewhere else?

I should probably mention I have an LG G4 with no root but because there weren't many threads on this, this seemed as good as any to ask.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mods] BigBirdie:
I cannot get Helium to work. It says I have MTP set, but it is changed to PTP. Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mods] puiradu2009:
Make your backup normally from the old device. Then when restoring to S7 Edge make sure you have not set any unlock protection to the phone (fingerprint or password). It should restoring just fine then.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mods] Fullmetal Jun:
EDITED: You need to ALLOW STORAGE/ALL PERMISSIONS in settings for Temple Run 2.

Start the game, view the characters, then close it.

Now go to the com.imangi.templerun2 folder in data folder of the Android folder. You'll find files folder. It should contain Bundles, Global Challenges, Textures folders with the file gamedata.txt below the folders! Now you can do the backup/overwrite of the txt while keeping all your gems and money!

The permissions should be on by default, then you choose which you don't want in Marshmallow instead of off. One of the things I hate in Marshmallow!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mods] Looneer:
So, I did two different things and ended up with a similar result. I gave the app storage permissions on MM and once I opened it again, it had lost all the coins and gems. I took the permissions away and the stats returned as before. I tried doing this both before opening the app and also while it was still open. It seems it 'forgets' the local data once permissions are given.

I should also say the app is installed on the internal storage.

I have not tried restoring using the created gamedata.txt file but I am not hopeful. I will report back later on the results.

Once again, thank you so much. Nowhere on the internet was this mentioned as a consideration...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mods] Fullmetal Jun:
It should look like this:

Try copying the gamedata.txt to another device. I learned that from the original Temple Run where I copied the whole files folder as backup for it ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mods] Looneer:
I have actually been testing it by trying to move the game onto my Moto G 3rd Gen but the file itself is only 40 KB which is basically from the onset of the game and I have also lost characters. Overall, this is a nightmare but if I find a solution somehow I'll report back.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mods] peterh337:
Helium does not work on my Samsung S7 (android 6). It says the phone is in MTP mode but I changed it to PTP. I tried this with the USB connected and not connected, with reboots, but nothing changes. USB debugging is enabled. Maybe some other USB option (or other config option) is needed?

Maybe Helium doesn't work on android 6, like so many other apps?

It would be great to get this working because android cannot be anywhere near fully backed up unless rooted (then one can use Titanium + Nova desktop backup/restore).

Maybe there is an issue with win7-64 drivers... but adb.exe is running in the process list.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mods] yugoport:
Any success lately with Helium, I am having the exact same issue
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mods] meyerweb:
I could never get Helium to work correctly. Well, to be completely accurate, it worked once, when I backed up only a couple of apps. But that was it. No matter what I did, it failed. I managed to get different errors, but that's hardly progress. And it's totally unsupported, so don't hold out hope for a solution.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mods] Konnichy:
For those who can't connect to the desktop application, here is how I did it :

- Install the Android SDK and driver

- Make sure the Helium desktop application is not running

- Enable USB Debugging on the phone (there was no need to switch to PTP for me)

- Plug the phone in the PC

- Open a command-line prompt

- type 'cd %LocalAppData%\Android\sdk\platform-tools'

- then type 'adb devices' (this starts the ADB daemon and detect the phone)

- on the phone, reply to the popup by authorizing your PC to debug the phone

- check on the return of 'adb devices' that your phone was detected

- Now, start the Helium desktop application

As a conclusion, I'm thinking that the Helium desktop application does not start the ADB daemon or does not trigger the authorization popup on the phone.

Hope it works for you too.

Hi All.

I know this thread was long dead... but does anyone have the apk for this?

Desktop app is there.. so i'm guessing this is more a Google Play removed it.

Anyone have it?

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PCruzio:
Hi. I'm new here, and I really need help!

It started today when I'm tired of a disaster lagging using android 5.1.1 rom on my Galaxy tab 10.1 (GT-P7500).

So, I decided to flash a stock rom to go back to honeycomb 3.2

And basically, a volume down button on my tablet is broken. so I won't be able to reboot in recovery mode.

I tried reboot in download mode by pressing power + volume up button but it won't work either.

Then I managed to reboot in download mode and use Odin to flash a rom by using adb cmd but I didn't boot to recovery mode and wipe data/factory reset first(I don't know if this has something to do with this problem.)

And that brought me to a dead end problem.. Stuck at the logo while booting up. :crying:

I don't really know what else to do or is there some hope with this situation. I plugged a usb to my pc while in logo screen and it showed up as SAMSUNG_Android so when I check by typing adb devices in command it's there but can't get it to work since adb required debugging mode.

I think I will probably end up order a new button for replacement but I feel like I should ask a professionals first.

I don't know what to do, this is the 1st time i get this problem.

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dalecheesy:
Used to use my Sony Kdl-nx503 remote to turn on the fire TV (v1) through Bravia sync but seems like the update to the latest os5 might have kaputted this :( is anyone else using a Sony TV and if so does it still turn the fire TV on from sleep if you select the hdmi channel?

When it's on the Sony remote works flawlessly just no ability to wake from sleep anymore.

No biggie but it used to save me having to look for the original remote which the fairies must mysteriously move when I'm not looking :)

I'll get another hdmi cable too just to check that that's not the problem.

Thanks in advance.

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dalecheesy:
No joy :( it used to wake from sleep automatically when I selected the hdmi input on the Sony as the Bravia sync woke it up but nothing now. Checked the hdmi control settings in the Sony menu but they're set correctly so the only thing I can think of is the cables knackered or the updates broke the ability of it to wake it from sleep as it's worked faultlessly since I've had it. Oh well looks like I'm either using the fire remote or using the app on the phone to turn it on.

I'm soon upgrading to the Oneplus Two which I plan to root the day I get it and I'm going to sell this HTC so I'm looking for the noobest step by step instruction on how to return this phone to stock. Stock software, stock recovery and anything else that I can return to stock.

This was actually supposed to be in the initial release, but I forgot to implement it. It will be available in the next update.

Planned for a future release. I initially debated against this, because it would have been redundant to have app notifications showing up in both the notifications area and the feed, but it looks like some users might want this option. It will be implemented as an opt-in setting.

Exactly my feeling.

Magnesium offers a breath of fresh air in the contextual launcher arena - quite lightweight & offers additional features as compared to other contextual launchers like KISS Launcher (or Flow, Aviate, Blur, etc ...) - I really miss Slidescreen O_o

Areas for improvement:

- customizable default screen (drawer or feed)

- searches should be decoupled from screens & should work the same regardless of the screen they're operated in, for example, searches in the app drawer should also go through contacts etc.

- inability to deselect web searches in the free version makes the search feature useless, as web searches swamp the results & are often prioritized as compared to device results

- the search engine should be configurable due to privacy concerns (most common ones should be added: for example duckduckgo, startpage, bing, google, yandex)

- the free/paid model should be revised - as mentioned by [MENTION=6937010]SuperNès90[/MENTION], I have a feeling you're too bent on monetizing the app/features.

Still, keep up the good job! I'm curious how this launcher will mature.

specially the free/paid model should be revised. I think it tends to scare free users to even try your work.
