Question about backing up and restoring

[ZepTepi]

I've got to change phones and I'm trying to find out if there's now any way to backup and restore 2 things that I've never been able to in the past. Nova Launcher & widgets. Is there any way to do that now or do I still have to set both of those things up a new.

Pretty much 100 percent of the widges you can always have on your google play, automatic download. Once you imput the email and select to the google play and type in "Nova Launcher" to it as well. And can long press on whatever you want to chose on your empty blank home pages.

I backup Nova launcher by going into Nova Settings and clicking on Backup & Restore. You can backup locally(internal storage) or share backup to send it to yourself by email or whatever.

Then on your new phone install Nova launcher and restore the backup from Nova settings.

I think I wasn't clear with my question. I'm talking about restoring Nova Launcher as it currently is on my phone, not just getting the Nova Launcher app reinstalled on my device. The same goes for the widgets. I know how to get the apps back on my phone from the Play Store but I'm talking about getting the widgets back on my replacement device as they currently are on my current device. I didn't think that was possible but figured I'd ask none the less.

Awesome! I'll give you that a go. Thank you!

Will this work for external memory as well? I was just trying to figure out all of the possible permutations to getting external card information on to the S22 as well.

@zep Tepi Good luck. Let us know how it works out for ya.
