I’ve written this blog post about moving from rooted Samsung to a Pixel running GrapheneOS.
It’s a list of every root tool that I used, with a note on whether I’ll miss it. I wrote it as a checklist for myself initially, and decided to add links and more comments and publish it. Turns out I don’t really need root, which truly surprised me.
Do you have any apps or tools that hold you back from leaving root?
Neo Backup does a fairly good job for me, at least for backing up app data. It has some bugs every now and then, but it gets the job done. What problems did you have?
never once succeeded in any meaningful way that I’m confident I can lose the thing and restore it on another device.
I do a full backup. transfer the backup file to the other phone. initiate restore - errors, incomplete data, apps are never to rarely transferred, a total mess. phones aren’t the same but are similar (SDM845) and the same LOS 22.2 with microG and magisk.
OK, I’ve only tried restoring on the same phone until now, and inspecting the files that were backed up. Not sure what the problems are there, but might make sense to check their issue tracker, it does seem to see pretty active development.
