Export/import sms from one ubuntu touch to another

A Former User

Is there a way of transfering sms from one phone to another phone when both are using ub touch?

@marius-ciclistu The only that i am aware of:

backup the history database

adb pull /home/phablet/.local/share/history-service/history.sqlite

restore:

adb push history.sqlite /home/phablet/.local/share/history-service/history.sqlite

reboot your device

Note that i'm not sure if the database is 100% fine when switching to another device, as you can have some account id change

In your first command there is too much "history.sqlite" ^^

@lduboeuf hmm thanks. Not shure if I want to risk a reinstall for the sms history...

A Former User

adb pull /home/phablet/.local/share/history-service/history.sqlite history.sqlite

Error device not found.

@marius-ciclistu
Try adb pull /home/phablet/.local/share/history-service/history.sqlite

As i said, too much "history.sqlite" in the command you quoted (misstaping from @lduboeuf ^^)

By the way do you know how to use adb ?

A Former User

@keneda I ran it in terminal also with one less history.sqlite. same result

Are you running it from your PC ? ( your device must be connected through usb cable, and developer mode enabled to access it from adb)

@lduboeuf ha. nice. i ran it inside ubtouch terminal. adb works with ubuntu touch? I don't use android.

To clarify the answer from Lionel, the android based ports can use ADB. This is not the case for the PinePhone.

@applee opo and gx290 plus (volla x) are android based?

@marius-ciclistu
AFAIK, yes.
If the device was shipped with Android at some point, you can bet it is.

Have anyone tried an otg cable with an usb stick?
