Is there an application or method with like ADB or something that can easily make backups of my apps to transfer to another phone? i dont care about configs or having to login again, but reinstalling everything is a major bother.

Bonus points if it applies my home screen and QS-Tile Layouts. But thats just a nice to have.

Old Phone: Google Pixel 6a (Lineage OS, Magisk root)

New Phone: Google Pixel 8 Pro (Lineage OS, Magisk root)

    Not really the answer to your question, but maybe my recent experience will help.

    A lot of apps can export settings. Having recently joined the alternative android club, that was a definitely a time saver. On my last phone transfer I spent a few day when I had time reconfiguring every app, this time around all my main apps were pretty much fully setup in an hour.

    For an “app list”, I just took a screen shot of my home screen layout and app drawer. Had everything downloading in about 10 minutes. Home screen took a bit to put back together. If you can export the launcher config, maybe restoring it after you’ve downloaded everything will restore home screen layout too…no clue, I never tried that one.
