Is there a computer program that removes apps and data from one phone and reinstalls them onto another phone easier than trying to do it all "by hand", one app at a time?
You can achieve this by writing a Windows batch script that makes use of ADB commands adb backup and adb restore.

I appreciate the suggestion but is there any other way? I know not what a Windows batch script is or how to go about making one.
Fot the readers who know what a Windows batch script is, here an example that does the job
Code:
@echo off & setlocal
echo Unplug USB-connection between Android to get backed up and PC
echo When done press any key to continue ...
pause >nul
echo Connect Android with PC via USB
echo When done press any key to continue ...
pause >nul
adb devices
set /A cnt_pkg=0
for /F "tokens=2 delims=:" %%a in ('adb shell "pm list packages -3"') do (
set "pkg=%%a"
if NOT "?%pkg%"=="?" (
for /F "tokens=*" %%f in ('adb shell "pm dump %pkg% | grep 'ALLOW_BACKUP'"') do ( set "flags=%%f" )
if NOT "?%flags%"=="?" (
set /A cnt_pkg+=1
adb backup -f %USER%\%pkg%.backup -apk %pkg%
)
)
)
echo %cnt_pkg% user apps backed up
if %cnt_pkg% equ 0 ( goto :done )
echo Unplug USB-connection
echo When done press any key continue ...
pause >nul
echo Connect Android where apps should get restored to with PC via USB
echo When done press any key to continue ...
pause >nul
adb devices
set /A cnt_pkg=0
for /F "tokens=*" %%a in ('dir %USER%\*.backup /B') do (
set "bkup=%%a"
if NOT "?%bkup%"=="?" (
set /A cnt_pkg+=1
adb restore %USER%\%bkup%
)
)
echo %cnt_pkg% user apps restored
echo Press any key to continue ...
pause >nul
:done
endlocal & @echo on & exit

Support has ended, due to the possibility of pixel formats changing from each recovery update you receive.
But I did make a better Recovery Screenshot that handles this problem, and it can be found here or below.:cyclops:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=50029759
This is a tool to get screenshots from Recovery or the Aroma Installer!
It's no big secret in the XDA community that you can use ffmpeg to convert your framebuffer to an image on some devices. I've found the ffmpeg values for the Nexus 7 2013, and made a batch script that lets you save as many screenshots as you would like in recovery or the aroma installer. This should work on all versions of Windows. I have only tested in Windows 7 and running the modified TWRP for multirom, which is based off of TWRP 2.6.3.1. It should work with regular TWRP as well as other recoveries. Please let me know if it works or not and what set up you have!!!
Why would anyone use this or do this?
Most people have actually no use for it whatsoever. It's pretty much useful for tutorials, showing anomalies, and showing off custom recovery themes. I needed to do it one time to show what I thought was an error in my recovery, but hadn't seen anyone post how to do it on the Nexus 7 2013, or any 1200x1920 device for that matter. While searching how to do this I came across this thread by @Whiskey103 :good: I learned a lot of useful information.
You have to have the adb drivers installed before you can do anything. Go here for more information.
This rar file contains the programs adb and ffmpeg. This ffmpeg is the newest 32-bit version from their downloads page. You must have adb.exe, ffmpeg.exe, and the two dll files for adb in the same directory as this batch when you run it. The easiest thing to do is just extract the rar to a new directory, then run the file named RUNrs.bat. The screenshots will be saved in the same folder you unzip everything as 'timestamp'.png.

Thanks make my like easy now lol
sorry, wrong thread
Thanks!! :laugh:
DISCLAIMER: I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR DAMAGE CAUSED TO ANYONE OR ANYTHING BY USING MY SCRIPT. USE THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK.
So pretty much this is a script that can:
1. Flash a new boot animation without going through all the hassle of entering remounting commands. (Main reason why I wrote this) (Requires root and maybe adb insecure by chainfire)
2. Flash a new startup logo. (Requires unlocked bootloader)
3. Basic reboot commands with the press of a number.
4. Push and Pull files without entering commands, just need to specify the file location by dragging and dropping into the command window. (Some cases may need root. If your case does not need root, and the script says failed to restart adb as root, your command will still work, hopefully)
5. Install an apk the same way as 4. (If it says failed to restart as root it will still work in most cases)
6. Extremely noob friendly :laugh:.
Just a small little script to make your life a bit easier.
I tested this numerous times on a Moto G xt1032 running cyanogenmod 11 m4 and it showed no flaws. If this does not work for you try installing adb insecure by chainfire.
This works on windows only (I think).
If you find any bugs please tell me and I will try to fix even though I am just starting out with the wonders of developing. Some of the functions of the script need root access!
To use this, just copy and paste the lines below into a notepad window. Then save the file as something.bat Make sure to change the dropdown menu from txt document to all files when saving. Put the script in the folder where adb.exe and fastboot.exe are located. Double-click and enjoy!

This is a simple script that automatically flashes a new boot animation. It does the remount and deletion commands automatically to provide an easy and fast way to flash boot animations.
ADB ROOT command must be functioning for this to work properly.
DISCLAIMER: THE CREATOR IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR DAMAGE CAUSED BY THE USE OF THIS SCRIPT! USE THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!
1. Copy the code below into a new notepad window.
2. Save the file as bootanimation flasher.bat in the folder where adb and its components are located. (MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE .bat EXTENSION)
3. Run the script!
Common Errors:
"error protocol failure" - this error occurs when the command adb root did not function properly. Fix the issue and try again. Try and re-enable usb debugging if it still doesn't work.
Try and use this app to get adb root functioning: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1687590

thanks for this. it's exactly i was looking for.
Hi everyone sorry for this question but haven't been able to find any info on backing up the stock rom of a device.
It is a Samsung so not sure if fastboot would be an option and yet to install any recovery image (TWRP)
Please advise what would be the best way before installing a custom ROM for backing up the stock roms of the device.
I also want to backup the recovery before adding a customer recovery if possible.
Thanks for any help
Only for demonstration purpose:
Here excerpt of a Windows CMD script I times ago wrote to fully backup a phone by means of ADB
Code:
rem THIS DOESN'T WORK ON MTK-CHIPSET BASED DEVICES!
rem
rem for MTD and EMMC devices, the partition layout and the partition names
rem can be retrieved by reading the /proc/mtd and /proc/emmc files.
set file_to_query=
for /F %%a in ('adb shell "[ -f /proc/mtd ]; echo $?"') do (
set "error=%%a"
if "%error%"=="0" (
set "part_layout=mtd"
set "file_to_query=/proc/%part_layout%"
)
)
if not defined file_to_query (
for /F %%a in ('adb shell "[ -f /proc/emmc ]; echo $?"') do (
set "error=%%a"
if "%error%"=="0" (
set "part_layout=emmc"
set "file_to_query=/proc/%part_layout%"
)
)
)
if not defined file_to_query ( goto :failed )
for /F "skip=1" "tokens=1,4 delims= " %%a in ('adb shell "cat %file_to_query%"') do (
rem get dev-name and corresponding part-name
set "dev_name=%%a" & set "part_name=%%b"
if not "?%dev_name%"=="?" (
rem remove colon
set "dev_name=%dev_name::=%"
rem remove double quotes
set "part_name=%part_name:"=%"
rem write out dump to pc
adb exec-out "dd if=/dev/%part_layout%/%dev_name% bs=4096" > "C:\%part_name%.img"
timeout /t 2 /nobreak >nul
)
)
:failed
From what I have read phone needs to be rooted to complete the backup via adb
