Adb has a backup function you can use to download an apps data. I assume there is a reciprocal function to restore, but I've never used it.
The confirmation dialog that comes up on the phone looks like it is intended as an end user backup feature, but I've never seen a way to do it without enabling developer mode.
- asteli 8y agoIME it's a pain in the ass to backup your phone this way -- you have to download and setup development tools, and sometimes things fail in ways that are hard to explain. Inaccessible for the non-technical user, and frustrating for the savvy, aside from android developers. Furthermore, on phones with locked bootloaders (e.g. Pixel) it's impossible to root your phone in order to make the process of doing full-device backups easier. That being said, if anyone knows a way to do full-device backups on the Pixel series phones, let me know.
- inawarminister 8y agoI've used Helium a few times before (by the maker of CWM), does it work on Android P? That reminds me, I just moved 3 Android phones recently (Samsung GN5 broke -> Redmi 4A backup -> Redmi Note 5 replacement), and the only cloud backup that worked were WhatsApp and Line :/ I should backup all my apps for the next time.
