Hello all,
Currently I am debating whether or not to switch to a (preferably private/secure) custom rom on my device, however said device had been in use for a while now.
My question is the following: For those who have been in this situation, how have you dealt with the existing data on the device in terms of migration? After all, switching ROM usually involves a factory reset. Creating backups of everything is a bit tedious and timeconsuming and there is always the possibility of forgetting something.
that’s all great, but Swift Backup requires you to have a rooted device first.
I does not require it. I don’t have root.

I’m skimming this thread but, uh
Yes, I wish you had quoted the entire text.
Nowhere in my instructions did I say that I used this feature (“backing up app data”) or that it should be used. You do not need root to backup SMS/MMS & call logs & APKs & external data (
Android/data) / expansion (Android/obb) / media (Android/media) of the apps installed… I have also stated many times that I use the in-app backup/export method for application data.Right sure, but everyone else uses backups for the app data. I can install apps in a couple minutes, but the data takes ages, if the app even offers a built-in ability at all. It’d be like saying ‘I have backups’ but just of your computers operating system and programs, but no personal documents or data. It’s technically a backup, and it’s useful for someone with some use-case, but it’s not the general definition of a ‘backup’.
To quote your quote of my quote:
I have also stated that I am “skimming this thread”, so getting all defensive is hilarious.
