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.

    I’d add SMS Backup & Restore is a great backup tool for SMS/MMS, and doesn’t require root to backup. I’ve been using it since about 2010, and still have most of my messages from that time (saved as text files that can be exported).

    It may require root to restore, but I don’t think so anymore.
