[ale] Android backup solutions?

[Horkan Smith]

It's a limited use-case, but I'll mention it... I've successfully moved from one Note-3-with-custom-rom to another Note-3-with-the-same-custom-rom by using the TeamWin Recovery (TWRP) backup & restore options; at least 3-4 times.  The restored phone came up virtually identical to the one I backed up.

later!
