Good morning everyone,

I have a phone with LineageOS right now, with a lot of apps installed and configured. I want to test out CarbonROM. However, if I don’t like it, I want to be able to re-install Lineage and keep all the configuration that I have now. How can I do this?

Thank you! ^^

    You can mostly backup everything but it’s impossible to make a perfect backup like the old days anymore because of the TEE. Flashing a new ROM will change the keys and permanently make the old data worthless. Stuff like Google Authenticator for example simply won’t backup even with a perfect bit copy.

    Apps will restore okay but many will be logged out and have lost their permissions and push notification registration with Google.
