Migrating data and Apps from FP2 -> FP3

Sorry to hijack this thread, but is there a simple way to directly migrate from a FP2 to FP3, like locally? Direct via WiFi/Networking, or Bluetooth or NFC or something? Without uploading my addressbook and stuff to google or my pictures? Is there any such basic feature maybe built-in inside Android OS? Thanks.

Nope, Android is built by Google and Google wants you to upload your data to their cloud.
Look above for possible solutions. :slight_smile:

There’s different methods for different types of data, but the app oandbackup, available on F-Droid, can backup contacts, calls, text messages, calendar, wifi passwords, and all of your apps, after which you can restore those to your new phone. Barring any incompatibilities between Android 7 and 9, which I believe aren’t too prevalent.

requires root it says on github.

Works like a charm. Just used during migration from FP2->FP3.
