Any Way to Migrate Homescreen Layout?

[jon44]

I'm going from a Note 4 to a Note 7 and was hoping there's a utility that will copy my homescreen layout (apps and widgets) from one phone to another. Does this exist?

Yes, Samsung Smart Switch. It's an app you can download and comes native on the Note 7

plus you can use your note 4 cable and the included adapter with the note 7 to plug and copy. easiest way to get your stuff across. it doesn't really copy SETTINGS, though... not sure if anything actually does.

Google also copies all your apps if you have a Google account

Smart switch basically makes a clone of your phone. I used it and everything transferred, except a few things, even my background changed.

One thing I noticed using the cable is, you couldn't see progress of the transfer but using the wireless option it showed it. It happened twice, once from my note 5 to my note 7 and then from my wife's note 5 (Sprint) to my old note 5 (Verizon).

I used Smart Switch and my homescreens did not copy over. However, I was using Apex Launcher and not TouchWiz Launcher, so no doubt that's why.
