So the Galaxy Nexus has been my first Android phone. I had iPhones before that and whenever I upgraded it was pretty easy to transfer for my apps and settings from the old phone to the new phone through iTunes.
The Nexus 4 looks great and I can't wait for it to go on sale. So I am wondering if there is a comparably easy way to move apps and settings from one Android phone to another? I'm not worried about Google services (mail, calendar, contacts, etc.) -- I know that just needs a sign-in with my Google ID. But what about all the apps I have and the settings within apps? Some of them have taken a lot of fine tuning and fiddling to get them just the way I want (like Nova launcher, and other utility-type apps). My phone is stock and not rooted if that makes a difference. Will I have to start from scratch and manually download the apps I want and reset them up? Any easier way?
Thanks for any advice!
