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.

    For my non-rooted phones, I use SMS Backup & Restore to backup SMS/MMS. It runs on a schedule.

    I also use Syncthing-Fork to keep all my personal data (such as SMS Backup, downloads, whatever) synchronized to a desktop at home, which has its own backup service.

    I also use Syncthing to keep all photos synced to my laptop, so I can easily review and manage them (I have it set so changes/moves/deletions sync back to the phone).
