I've written this blog post about moving from rooted Samsung to a Pixel running GrapheneOS. It's a list of every root tool that I used, with a note on whether I'll miss it. I wrote it as a checklist for myself initially, and decided to add links and more comments and publish it. Turns out I don't really need root, which truly surprised me.

Do you have any apps or tools that hold you back from leaving root?

never once succeeded in any meaningful way that I'm confident I can lose the thing and restore it on another device.

I do a full backup. transfer the backup file to the other phone. initiate restore - errors, incomplete data, apps are never to rarely transferred, a total mess. phones aren't the same but are similar (SDM845) and the same LOS 22.2 with microG and magisk.
