I would not be against all of this (being able to change device while keeping all app data, including logins would be pretty cool), if it wasn't could based on Google's servers. No thanks.
That's a good point actually.
If I could self-host a server that my devices were authenticated with and constantly backing up to (and geo-tracking), then that would be useful.
Currently I have syncthing and no authentication with anyone/thing else.
This is a major reason I root, so backup apps like NeoBackup actually work.
Then Syncthing keeps those backups in sync with a home machine.
Lose my phone? No big deal, setup Syncthing on new one, let files sync, launch Neo, restore.
Hmm, I'll check that out... I've avoided rooting due to a botched cyanogenmod conversion (my fault not theirs) back in the day...
Yup. If that was the case, I would probably use stock Android instead of using GrapheneOS. But no, Google insists on getting its fingers everywhere, so I insist on some inconveniences to prevent that.
I would love the conveniences that stock Android offers, but I'm unwilling to accept the privacy compromises.
