Default [Q] Transfer from Desire to Galaxy S II

Hi

Just about to transfer from the Desire to Galaxy S II.

I just had a question regarding making the transition as smoothly as easily as possible.

My Desire is currently rooted and running ledroid 2.4.

If I take a Titanium backup on the Desire, would I be able to install this onto the Galaxy II and do a restore of just the apps with saved data?

Any tips from moving to one Android phone to another would be great.

Thanks

backup your desire with TB then, copy the TB file from your phone over to the galaxy S II, run TB on your new phone and done!

TB needs root. There is now a way to root the SGSII but it seems a bit complex. Hopefully by the time I get my SGSII (Friday at the earliest, if I'm lucky!) they'll have something akin to Unrevoked
Current Devices:

Fido Galaxy S4 i337m | 16GB + 64GB Micro SD | Sapphire | stock rooted | no CWM yet!
HTC One X+ | Black | N. American LTE | 64GB | Elegancia 4.8.0 (JB 4.1.1)
MacBook Air 2012 i7 2.0Ghz | 512GB SSD | Thunderbolt display
iPad Mini 32GB Wi-Fi

Download MyBackup Pro which can backup apps an all your data to either an SD card or the web and then restore on the GS2.

It's what I did

It looks like Backup Pro won't restore my games (incl. Angry Birds) scores without rooting I'm guessing. :(
