[Xperia + Jolla 1] Migrating problems to the xperia
TL;DR: I'm having a hard time migrating to the xperia. Restore backup doesn't work. Any tips?
Hi All,
I have installed Sailfish X on my Xperia. Now I want to transfer/migrate everything (well 99%) of what is on my Jolla 1 tot the Xperia.
I have tried loading the backup on my Xperia but it keeps hanging on importing the messages. So no contacts or call history gets imported.
But if this worked I still have to export the Ambiance, I have all of other half. And how do I export my whatsapp conversations to the new device.
I can't find any guide to help with this. And Jolla doesn't offer any graphical export only import.
I'm probably not the only one with this problem. I think a lot of people with a Jolla 1 are planning to switch.
Best regards, ddh

Updates:
- The "old" ambienses are made to have a architecture. So no joy coping them. Made a bug-report/feature-request for this. @edz had a good comment will try this.
- Did a full copy of /home/nemo Between the devices. I copied the content to my PC using scp and uploaded to the Xperia using scp.
ToDo
- Restore backup without issues.
- Copy ambiences
- Move all user files, Android storrage, downloaded files, documents, ... (Done)
