    One thing that you do still need root for however is proper backups. The built-in backup system is tied to Google, and it’s very limited in what it will back up, nowhere near what you can do with root backup software like Titanium Backup.

      I used to use titanium but I haven’t found it to be necessary with modem backups. What do you get that’s not already included?

      I used to use ADB backup to move from Android 6 to 8 to 10, but it refused to work from 10 to 12.

      Not that it was fully comprehensive, but it was pretty dang close. Shame they never replaced it with something similar

      Backups are fucked now. TiBu doesn’t seem to work as well as it used to. I use SeedVault now and it only backs up a fraction of my installed apps.
