Has someone ported Mi cloud to use on custom roms? in my case Lineage OS. It is pretty convenient way or backing up and restoring. Mi cloud not only backs up the apps but the app data, phone customization, contacts, photos and best thing about it is even after a reset signing back into mi account brings your phone back to its original state.
Titanium backup though strong with apps and app data is limited to that only. Been using CM backup but it needs lot of attention. Kindly suggest what other alternatives exist in terms of cloud saving, that can backup everything. Thank You
Mi cloud lol no one uses it except those who are new to Android , use Gdrive or Box

I find it pretty convenient it not just backs up data but also app data and how **** was arranged, grouped apps were regrouped .... phone state... theme...
....
Use Yandex Disk
Use Google Drive and Google Photos, so IDK.
So is there a way to spoof mi cloud for another device with root and xposed?
not gonna happen sorry ...

As some of you may know, recently I have purchased an LG G5. I want to know specifically is there any advantage to using near field communications, (NFC), versus using Google to restore data, contents, etc as previously used on an older or previous phone.
I would appreciate any detailed answers as I cannot receive any from members of the retail store.
I'd nfc transfer

NFC is local. Google is through the cloud.

1St, thanks for your response. I appreciate it.
2ND, I know one is local Vs cloud, but are they exactly the same? Does NFC transfer ALL apps, the app data, non-market linked apps, etc.
I am specifically curious to find out if it actually transfers carrier specific bloat software from let's say a previously-owned AT&T or Verizon phone, to the new phone by transfer. That would suck.

No, cloud will only bring down apps and possibly accounts (wallpapers, etc). It won't bring down any app data (like game progress, app configurations, etc).
I believe if you do a backup and restore from an LG to an LG device, then it will copy all data... But via NFC will copy all data that isn't app data. It'll copy over pictures, videos, download folder, apps - but again, no app data.
I could be wrong though. Whenever I get a new device, I like to start anew, and just have my apps be reinstalled.
I tried the NFC+BT route (NFC starts BT file swapping). It kept failing from my original Z2 so had to do it the cloud way. It did prompt me to select a device and backup.
Also my cloud backup did include app data including accounts, config and app settings.
I'm not sure how or why because I wasn't doing anything special or extravagant.... But my Bluetooth, NFC, and linked connecting/sharing services uninstalled themselves.
Can anyone please post up the apks/folders for AT LEAST Bluetooth... I could care less about NFC I just don't want to factory reset and redo all my customizing :'(
It's quite easy to backup all your settings etc in various apps & launchers. I switch roms regularly and backup all my settings and restore easily. Sorry I can't be much of a help with apks but resetting isn't so daunting

Thanks for the positive influence Craig I just think it might be easier at this point to try and install Bluetooth, 1 thing go do, instead of free installing all the apps I have...
If it doesn't work out I'll try that!

If you are remaining on the same ROM you'll have absolutely no problems backing up and restoring your apps and their data using Titanium Backup. That will save you a lot of time downloading and setting up your apps again.

Will that back up custom manually installed dialer, gallery, messaging, file management, etc? Apps that I've overwritten to change?

Yes, it will backup any apps you have installed and already installed apps and their data. Have a Google on how to use it or watch a YT video about it but it's pretty straightforward. It's very useful for "freezing" bloatware. It's a rooted essential app. Even your texts can be backed up and restored with your Samsung account, or more preferably, an app called SMS backup restore.

I just recieved my Mate 10 Pro BLA-L09 today and after a few hours playing etc I have decided to restore all my all from my previous phones. Problem is this is the only phone I've ever had without being able to root so I am wondering if there is a way to restore all my backups made with Titanium pro.
Any help would be appreciated
Hi, instead of using Titanium, you can use the Huawei app Phone Clone to transfer most of your configuration from previous phone. Including apps, data, call logs, sms, etc. It works really well. You can find the app in Google play.

Phone Clone didn't work properly for me, I was able to transfer only call logs and SMS. Apps were transferred without any data, probably because of different brand. I have tried some other applications too but without success. I didn't have so much time for that, so I decided to instal everything manually. It was much faster than playing with questionable clone apps.
Thanks peoples
I have a couple of apps that take a very long time to configure; unfortunately, they don't have any ways to backup their settings. The same holds true for saving game progress.
I'm looking for an app that allows me to backup/restore any app's "appdata" either on the same Android device or another Android device... ideally, something that backs up to OneDrive or Google Drive.
I found Backup and Restore which looks like it does exactly what I want. Unfortunately, it looks like the developer completely abandoned that app. Google Drive backup feature is completely broken for everyone using that app.
I'm not interested in an app that also backs up contacts, SMS, photos, etc. I only want something to focus just on backing up each app's appdata.
Update: It looks like Helium Backup can do what I want via ADB and a PC (without needing Root access). I would prefer not to use ADB.. however, if I have to, I will.

Thanks, but I'm looking for something simple that only focuses on appdata backup/restore. Nothing really related to a rooted phone.
Hello,
So I just transfered my Data throught Smart Switch, wich was basically a good thing.
However on one part Iam really not so happy and need a better way.
Because if you want to transfer your Accounts as well (check this Option), you get forced to activate WIFI & Internet - for everything else you don't need to.
Why? Probably because Smart Switch wants to send your accounts to the samsung servers, wich is done pretty fast, because the accounts are basically just text.
I don't want to send my accounts around and I bet you don't want to as well. Except you do sync everything... then its too late anyway.
So my Question is:
Is there a good workaround or another tool, wich lets you transfer your main accounts - without sending them to samsung or anyone?
What is your experience? And do you know a workaround?
Please let me/us know

Never trust SmartSwitch with critical data.
Make backups for contacts and all apps the allow you export/import settings/data. Use ApkExport to make installable copies of all your apps and updates.
All critical data like images, music, vids should be backed up as folder and should already be redundantly backed up to at least 2 hdds that are physically and electronically isolated from each other and the PC.
When going to a different model it's best not to use SmartSwitch. For the same device I use it to transfer homepage settings only.
A clean load yields best results... and can last years with minimal maintenance if you don't do stupid stuff including firmware updates and upgrades.
Yeah, I think so as well.
However APK Export is from 2018. I don't think It can be trusted either. Especially with Android 12 etc
Also I didn't give SmartSwitch Internetaccess, because of AFwall, so Iam ok with that.
Problem is now, how to transfer all the accounts? I don't like to do it all manually.
It doesn't let me do it without an Internetconnection, wich can't be trusted. I don't want to send all my accounts to samsung, lol. That seems to be the only purpose, why there needs to be an Internet Connection with the Accounts.
Before Titanium Backup was great and also it took all the Accountdata with it (whatsapp etc).
Now there seems to be Swift Backup, but I need to test it first.. it doesn't seem to be that powerful.

Well I'm running Android 9 and 10, deliberately.
The ApkExport is clean freeware.
It either will work with 12 or not.
Easy enough to test.
Now Iam also searching for another Alternative.
So basically to have the Function like Smart Switch, but for any Phone, so you can at least quickly transfer contacts etc. - any Ideas?
Edit: maybe found some ways here:
https://mobiletrans.wondershare.com/samsung-transfer/alternatives-for-samsung-smart-switch.html
Edit2:
they are all not as good as Smart Switch so far... damn.
Edit3: Here is Smart-Switch and many Alternatives - wich need to be tested..
smart switch - Android Apps on Google Play
Enjoy millions of the latest Android apps, games, music, movies, TV, books, magazines & more. Anytime, anywhere, across your devices.
play.google.com
But Iam still searching for a good way to also transfer the accounts savely to an S22U.
Damn a Smart-Switch Mod would be awesome.

Backup as a text or wdoc so you can cut/paste.
You need to redundantly backup critical data by tried and proven methods or you risk getting your data splattered like a NYC crime scene.
Ok, now I have an S21 Ultra ^^
But still I had this Problem... and some apps didn't had their app data.
I have both rooted phones. Isn't there a better alternative?
Edit again:
Before I always used Titanium Backup in this Case, wich worked great, but sadly does not work on Android 11/12 properly and now it seems to be abandonware.
However here I found a possible solution/alternative:

But I wonder again, why you have to login to your google account with this tool...
And here are some solutions as well:
