Hi,

I want to move from one android device to another (namely a Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini to a Samsung Galaxy S3) and I want to take all of my data with me, I am not too worried about setting as many of these change from time to time anyway and putting the settings in manually will give me a chance to explore any differences between the two devices as far as features and capabilities go.

I have looked at Samsung's 'Smart Switch' which seems to cover most of the basics, calendar (important as it would be painful to locate and re-enter all that, memo's, messages (handy as it brings your conversation history) and any contacts stored on the phone.  it also brings music, videos, photos, documents and a list of your apps.  What it does not bring is your call log, or any app data as you have to re-install from the list, all it does is to save you cross referencing with your old device and searching in Google Play.

I would like to bring across my call log as well as the data from some of my apps in addition to the above.  The apps in questions would be Chess free, 4 Pics 1 Word and most importantly Viber.  I don't see any way to do this. 

What is the best app to do this, I have not and don't want to root either phone.  if I have to loose something so be it, but I would like to be sure.  there are a number of options as far as backup and restore go but which is the best one?  can I not just install on the new device and then copy and past the data file from the old device into the new and overwrite so that when I open the app, and it looks at the files it sees the old ones all there and presto all the old data is there?

Any help would be appreciated.
