What should I be concerned about porting my current ll configuration to a new phone.
What should I be concerned about porting my current ll configuration to a new phone. I have a note 2 and my wife is getting me a note 3 for my birthday. I assume I will have to recreate my widgets, but what about folders, desktops, etc.

All the rest should be preserved. The N3 screen has a higher resolution and icons may not look as nice. Those in the backup archive match the N2 screen characteristics. Not sure that this will make a big difference though.
Regarding widget, there will be some support to recreate widgets on newer device soon. the N3 is amongst these device (TBC). This will be either in 8.4 or 8.5. I can’t promess any release date but if you really need it I may provide you with a beta version.

How about theme manager?

< ![CDATA[
The theme manager will be deprecated in favor of APKs to share templates. The app will continue to work as it is now, but I will unpublish it.

Hmm, Pierre Hébert will you add something to help us backup everything and port them to another device?
]]>
< ![CDATA[
Abednego JS yes, exactly. There will be some support for backup/restore of the widgets, but this will partially work (depends on device and widget itself)

I may get the n3 tomorrow but if I can at least restore my backup I will have a good idea of what goes where. 😉

ok, let me know how it works !

Pretty much had to redo everything 🙂

Happy birthday then 😉
You mean the widgets and the apps ?
]]>
< ![CDATA[
Widgets had to be recreated and the application placement had to be
adjusted. Also the ll position shortcuts became useless.

I guess you use free layout mode then ? Yeah, positions are absolute then, unlike grid mode.
In the future I need to make something for this, maybe scale everything according to old and new screen size.

If I had known I would have switched to grid mode before the conversion. 🙁
