As others said, everyone has differing opinions, where what I do is
periodically save the homescreen setup to a file on the sd card.

That saves everything about the homescreen (folders, icons, shortcuts,
positions, names, icons, colors, shadows, etc.) to that single file.

Then, when I get a new phone, I simply pop in that SIM card and re-load
that file. No cable is needed. Every app icon is where it belongs.

I've done this so many times, it comes naturally to me; but I understaqnd
that most people don't come up with their own systems, so they're at the
mercy of whatever MARKETING has come up for them.

Having said that, MARKETING (both Google & Samsung), and hell, even Apple,
has come up with some pretty easy ways to bring over all your apps & data.
