how to backup the Samsung One UI Launcher?

[Android Central Question]

With Nova, it was easy to backup and it was part of the launcher. I want to backup the One UI Launcher using the US version of Samsung Galaxy S9+.

How to back it up?

You can do this through smart switch or Samsung cloud backup.

Or through Apk Extractor or App Backup & Restore or, if you want to back up the data too (layout, etc.), with Helium (you'll need a PC if the phone's not rooted).

Thanks for the reply. I looked at a backup in SmartSwitch and the only thing I found which was close was HomeScreen that end up to be an exml file. What I wanted to do was have a backup of my screens like I would be able to get with Nova.

Any suggestions on how I would get the same thing as in Nova?

Just use Samsung cloud on S9+ to restore all screens. I figured it would never work - but it did! Pschyed! The home screens got wiped out by a weird crash. Phone just rebooted and came back with no home screens! If u are in the Samsung-verse, get samsung cloud and backups going right away.

Hi, welcome!
Smart switch is great
Samsung cloud is flawless back up , but Samsung looks like going ditch it for one drive

Thx! Google says switching to onedrive for photos etc but apps & settings stay in Samsung cloud (for now anyway).

I thought smart switch applies only to new phone case? Can I use smart seitch if my phone looses app settings?

No as you see my screen shot above was using my s9+ at the time , app data should be back up but don't recall.
