Switching to a custom ROM like LineageOS or Pixel Experience is exciting – new features, better performance! But the thought of losing all your app data, settings, and progress? Terrifying. I’ve been there, sweating bullets before hitting “install.” Done wrong, you can lose everything. This guide shows you how to migrate Android apps safely, keeping your chats, game saves, and preferences intact. No more starting from scratch!

Why You Absolutely Need a Solid Backup Plan

Let’s be real: Flashing a ROM wipes your data partition clean. Without a backup, your WhatsApp history, game levels, and app logins vanish. Stock Android backup is flaky, and cloud sync often misses crucial app data. You need a safe custom ROM migration guide specifically for moving apps to a new ROM without loss. Trust me, scrambling to recover lost data post-flash is pure stress.

Your Safe Migration Toolkit

Forget unreliable “just sign in” hopes. Here’s how to truly backup and restore app data Android style:

1. Swift Backup (Root/Non-Root): My top pick as a modern Titanium Backup alternative. It backs up apps plus their data (SMS, call logs, Wi-Fi passwords!) to local storage or cloud. Root access lets it grab everything, including tricky app data. Non-root works for most apps too. Essential for full backup and restore Android before flashing.
2. Google’s Built-in Tools: Enable “Back up to Google Drive” in system settings. Don’t rely solely on this for safe app migration. Use it alongside Swift Backup.
3. Manual Transfer (For Specifics): Manually copy folders like /sdcard/WhatsApp/ or /Android/data/[game.package.name] to your PC or external SD card before wiping.
