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.
You could root your OS and get a full backup. Otherwise, ADB (which doesnt backup app apks iirc)
Unless the bootloader is already unlocked you won’t be able to root without a factory reset first. It’s a security feature, though an annoying one.
