I got a new Nexus 6p and would like to move everything from my old Samsung Note 3 to my new Nexus. I am still on Biggins 4.4 KitKat Rom so the build in transfer isn't there. Google transferred my contacts and paid apps but I want to get text messages, ringtones, backgeounds, settings and photos...etc. Tried Verizon cloud app but can't get it to do it. I scan my Note 3 and use the qr code but transfer does not work.
 
Thanks! I checked that link and it is to a Motorola app that doesn't work on Marshmellow. Anyway, I did check for other apps at the bottom...still searching for one that will do the job. I guess the easiest way would be if I could upgrade straight to Lollipop from Biggins 4.4.2, but don't look like there is a path for that. Because in Lollipop Google has that tools to transfer your stuff over to a new phone.
