Congratulations: you just got a brand new Android phone!

If you’re lucky, you got a great deal and a huge upgrade.

Here’s how to move all of that precious data to your new phone.

Here’s how it works.

Once you do, the transfer begins, and your apps start downloading on the new gear.

You just sit back, wait, and let the process finish.

The video above fromoriginiativeshows you how it works.

Get Your Apps & Datais equally impressive.

It’s more of a “manual” restore, but it’s still incredibly easy.

There are still some things your Google account won’t save, however.

The tool for the job here will beHelium App Sync and Backup.

Download and install theCarbon desktop applicationfor your Windows, Mac, or Linux PC.

If you’re installing the Windows version, you’ll also needto get the drivers for your Android phone.

Go ahead and do this on your old phone first.

Below the “Backup” button, you’ll see a checkbox for “App Data Only.”

Unchecking the box will streamline the process.

We recommend unchecking it, but you’re able to go either way.

Once you’ve selected your apps, tap “Backup.”

You’ll get a popup asking you to choose your backup destination.

Internal storage, Google Drive, Dropbox, and Box are all listed by default.

Select your backup destination.

The backup will begin immediately.

Wait for it to finish (and sync to cloud storage, if you opted for that.)

Now it’s time to move your data to your new phone.

Next, tap the “Restore and Sync” tab.

Next, choose where you stored your backups.

Do this, then your old equipment will appear in the list.

Helium will kick you over to the right download page for each.

If you went for the full backup, just tap “Restore.”

The restore will begin, and you could sit back and wait.

Helium has come a long way fromits original release.

It’s remarkably complete, and has answers to a number of common questions.

The price is nice, and Helium also supports scheduled backups, automated backups, and more.

That said, Titanium requires root.

Check out ourguide to rooting any Android deviceto learn how to root your phone.

Here’s how to do it.

Once your phone is in recovery mode, select “nandroid,” then select “backup.”

Your phone will start the backup job immediately.

Transfer the backup file from your old phone to your new phone.

Select your backup file.

The restore will start, and when it’s finished, reboot your phone.

This process essentially takes an image of your old phone and then writes that image to the new one.

It assumes both phones are the same, and can run all of the same things.

If there are differences between the old phone and the new phone, it won’t work.

If you’re having problems with the old phone, you’re moving them to the replacement machine.

It’s also a really powerful tool forautomated, hassle-free backups of your Android gear.

When the app loads, tap the menu button and select “Batch.”

Choose “Backup all user apps + system data” from the batch operations list.

The backup job will run (and it’ll take a while.)

When it’s complete you’ll be dumped back to the welcome screen.

If you have Dropbox configured, tap “Sync to Dropbox now” to upload everything to Dropbox.

Now it’s time to transfer the backup to your new phone.

Choose “Restore all missing apps + system data.”

If you have the pro version, the process will take place automatically.

If you don’t, you’ll be prompted to authorize each install, one at a time.

it’s possible for you to install your apps from scratch right from Google Play and start everything fresh.
