I'm testing this on a Note 5 and a Galaxy S5.
I thought it would be straightforward.
1. Arrange your apps in the Google Now Launcher.
2. Set up to back up data with a Google account. I'm using a Samsung account too.
3. Then, when setting up a new device, restore using that same Google account. I am not using the Samsung one since that is backing up other things.
So it restores all my apps just fine, but:
1. They are disorganized.
2. Google Now Launcher is not set up as default.
3. Google Now Launcher has nothing configured on its screen. I have to start arranging from the beginning.
What am I doing wrong? Do I need to use a third party app to backup the Launcher settings? I don't want to root the phones.
