Hello all,
Currently I am debating whether or not to switch to a (preferably private/secure) custom rom on my device, however said device had been in use for a while now.
My question is the following: For those who have been in this situation, how have you dealt with the existing data on the device in terms of migration? After all, switching ROM usually involves a factory reset. Creating backups of everything is a bit tedious and timeconsuming and there is always the possibility of forgetting something.
Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.
In this community everyone is welcome to post links and discuss topics related to privacy.

much thanks to @gary_host_laptop for the logo design :)
For my non-rooted phones, I use SMS Backup & Restore to backup SMS/MMS. It runs on a schedule.
I also use
to keep all my personal data (such as SMS Backup, downloads, whatever) synchronized to a desktop at home, which has its own backup service.
I also use Syncthing to keep all photos synced to my laptop, so I can easily review and manage them (I have it set so changes/moves/deletions sync back to the phone).
