Hi everyone,

i own an Jolla Phone and bought a new shiny Sony Experia X. I flashed the new phone with Jolla build 2.1.3.5. So far so good...everything is working as expected. In the last couple of years I installed a lot of Android apps to my Jolla Phone. The question is: Is there any way to copy the history/progress/save games/whatever to my new Experia? For example: -chat history from WhatsApp/Facebook Messenger/Skype -game progress from Clash of Clans/Clash Royale -downloaded pictures/videos

What files or directories do I have to copy to my new phone?

Thank you in advance.

if only the settings, titanium backup or another android backup app should do the job. Copy the apps with settings only works on rooted systems.

Unfortunately it is not possible to root the Experia Device. I followed the instructions from Salzi and that worked for me. :)

Does this also includes the attachments (pictures, movies, ...)?

Perfect! Got it working this way.

Here are the steps I did for ClashRoyale:

  1. ssh to your old device

  2. devel-su

  3. cd /data/data

  4. tar -zvcf clash.tar.gz com.supercell.clashroyale

  5. scp clash.tar.gz nemo@<new device="" ip="">:/home/nemo</new>

  6. ssh to your new device

  7. devel-su

  8. Backup your old files: mv /home/.android/data/data/com.supercell.clashroyale com.supercell.clashroyale.bak

  9. tar -xvzf clash.tar.gz /home/.android/data/data/com.supercell.clashroyale

  10. Set permissions to the same as your backup: chown -R <12345>:<12345> /home/.android/data/data/com.supercell.clashroyale
