Titanium, ROM Manager, or Bionic Bootstrap?

[RoyEP3]

If I wanted to get a new bionic and transfer everything exactly the way it is (like my layout of the home screen, alarm setting, etc...), which of these methods would I use to do that? It seems like all three options have the ability to do so, or something similar, but I can't distinguish the difference.

Titanium Backup Pro
- Batch > backup all user apps + system data

Rom Manager
- Backup current rom

Bionic Bootstrap
- Bootstrap recovery > reboot recovery > backup

So which one of these tasks should I form, and what are the difference between the three? Thanks.

backiong up yuo rom will do no good. your going to a different phone with different software base. motorola doesn't have same hardware as htc. (for instqnce) ( i miss the weather and clock that htc has)

titanium might work but again. you're dealing with features that may or may not be there.

bootstrapper is merely the recovery needed used for bionic while htc uses clockwork or amon.

i've only had my bionic 2 weeks though. so others might know more and say i'm wrong.

I would not use any of those techniques for going to a new and different phone. You will not like the results and the rom manager and CWR backups will probably brick, or come close to bricking, your new phone. Backups created in any custom recovery is very, very phone model specific.

Your best bet is to make sure that Backup and Automatic Restore are selected in the Settings/Privacy menu and on the Launcher you are using, assuming it offers this feature, do a backup of its settings in Preferences.

Good luck.

It seems like no one addressed the fact that if you are goign from one bionic to another bionic...you shoudl be able to use either clockwork recovery or the bootstrapper recovery and make a nandroid backup of your phone and then wipe yoru new one and recover the backup on the new one. This shoudl work fine if its from one bionic to another bionic.
