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.

        If the app is so important and has files you can’t access from the file system or whatever but you’re not able to export them or backup them, then it’s not a good app. As the parent comment says, configuring everything from scratch is the best method.

          I agree with you but it’s not that uncommon for apps to lack a built-in backup method. I tend to root my phones precisely so I can backup their data.
