Can I duplicate my entire phone?

[Ron Prosky]

I need to exchange my S5 for another one, but the problem is that it takes so long to download, sign in, and then configure all my apps on the correct screens. Each time I get a new phone it seems like a 3 hours process to get all the apps just right. Is there an app that can literally copy everything on my current phone and then mirror image it right onto my new phone? I mean everything...apps, widgets, placement, etc.?

Thanks

Not without root access and a custom recover unfortunately. iOS has a full cloud backup, but on Android, backing up only backs up your apps (not the data within them) and anything saved to Google's servers

you could use Helium, no root required it backs up all apps and data

If you use a third party launcher like Apex Pro or Nova Prime you can import your screen setup and placement of apps and widgets. Just remember to save to your external sd card. Once you place the sd card in your new phone, you can restore your settings.
