How do backups/restores work when using LineageOS and moving to a new phone?
- matham 1y agoWith Titanium Backup unmaintained, Neo Backup [1] works pretty well. It has some potential issues with restoring wifi/bluetooth/sms as those were still experimental, last I used it. But sms at least worked. I'd suggest a 2nd backup app of those, just in case. [1] https://github.com/NeoApplications/Neo-Backup https://github.com/NeoApplications/Neo-Backup
- baby_souffle 1y agoThey're seamless. Any phone that allows you true `root` can do nandroid style backups which work very similar to how iOS does backups.
- neobrain 1y agoLineageOS includes Seedvault for backup and restore. It's not 100% reliably across devices apparently, but should typically work: https://github.com/seedvault-app/seedvault/discussions/331#discussioncomment-1455191 https://github.com/seedvault-app/seedvault/discussions/331#d... This requires both phones to use Seedvault though, so it's not an option when moving from the stock OS to LineageOS.
