The title says it all. I want to wipe my phone and then only use open source apps. The thing im afraid of is not backing up my data correctly and losing things like my keepass.
I have to make sure the data from the open source apps is downloadable as well so i can reload them to my phone.
Any tips to assist me with this process?

If your phone is older you can do full per app backups via ADB. It’s very hit and miss. Some people need to root the phone for it to work, some don’t. For some it works for someit doesn’t.

Thank you so much! How old, i think my phone is too new🤣🤣
Just try it out, it doesn’t take a lot of time. If it doesn’t work just move on.
Testing if it works is a bit of a pain though, because you need to have a wiped phone to restore the backup on to make sure each app restores properly.
Not really. If it doesn’t work the backup will be always the same size, 47B iirc
Well more that when it does work you don’t know for sure which apps are fully backed up.
Nicee thank you so much🙌🙌
