I’m trying to migrate from my old LineageOS phone to my new LineageOS phone (both rooted, both without gapps) Is there any list of applicable methods or apps for this? Have you ever done something like this? Any advice and relevant links greatly appreciated.
Whether I have a new iPhone or a new Android, I never trust or use applications to migrate data. It’s also a good way to clean your own account and data.
You can backup and restore with Neobackup which can be found in F-Droid. In my case it works for all apps except Signal which has its own backup routine. You can then pull all data from /sdcard with “adb pull /sdcard” to computer. Then do “adb push . /sdcard” to the new phone, point Neobackup to your data folder and restore everything you need. I usually only restore user apps with data, you could easily bork your installation otherwise.
