[Q] Any way to FULLY back up data when moving to new ROM?

[mahdibassam]

Hey guys.

Im thinking of switching over to Viper from ARHD. But i have a general question. What is the most effective way of switching to a new ROM without losing ANY data? I know i can use Titanium Backup to back up and restore apps (which is what I do now) , but is there a better way which keeps ALL my data? I read about advanced restoring data from a Nandroid backup, would that cause any problems ?

Thanks

Well all your data stays intact such as songs,pictures, videos etc. It's just app data you will loose so best way like you said is Titanium Backup. Most things are in the cloud now anyway

Of course the SD card remains untouched, I'm talking about app data and home screens and folders and etc.

Well if you got a launcher such as Nova you can make a backup of your configuration and for app data titanium is the best

You can back up your entire phone via a Nandroid backup done from recovery. Is that what you mean?

You can back up using recovery which is a nandroid back up and restore your data using nandroid manager in the playstore.

If you're going to an aosp ROM from an aosp ROM, then make a backup of launcher3 in titanium backup and restore it after you've restored your apps.
