in the Q&A it was mentioned/idea from @Flohack to create an backup-solution for the phones.
i tried out the manual operation handwork way. ( much typing but its seems to work )
After more and less luck i was able to find and import my bookmarks and telephone-book from
the old phone to the new-one. (Terminal App / )

##_ Bookmarks _###################

1. Export bookmarks from old device.
The bookmarks are stored in
"/home/phablet/.local/share/webbrowser-app/bookmarks.sqlite "
My usb-sticks destination-folder is mounted in
/media/phablet/my_usbstick/backup20170604/
So i fired up
phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ cp /home/phablet/.local/share/webbrowser-app/bookmarks.sqlite /media/phablet/my_usbstick/backup20170604/

(now the same procedure backwards)

2. Import/migrate bookmarks to new awesome Ubport-Phone
phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ cp /media/phablet/my_usbstick/backup20170604/bookmarks.sqlite /home/phablet/.local/share/webbrowser-app/

##_ mobile phone book _###################

3. Export mobile-phone-book from old device
The mobile-phone-book are stored in
"/home/phablet/.local/share/evolution/addressbook/system/contacts.db"
My usb-sticks destination-folder is mounted in
/media/phablet/my_usbstick/backup20170604/
So i fired up
phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ cp /home/phablet/.local/share/evolution/addressbook/system/contacts.db /media/phablet/my_usbstick/backup20170604/

(now the same procedure backwards)

4. Import mobile-phone-book to new awesome Ubport-Phone
phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ cp /media/phablet/my_usbstick/backup20170604/contacts.db /home/phablet/.local/share/evolution/addressbook/system/

5. reboot the phone
after this, the copied telephone-numbers are visible in the mobile-phone-book

Another possibility by the Grapical-GUI the File-Manger/Browser-App.
are there better ways/ suggestions ? ( Ok i know @Flohacks backup-project )

Good luck everyone!

@wgarcia

i would not worry about this, there are only a handfull people to support webpages and coding.
The "sudo-shutdown -h -canonical" was very surprising for all of us. but this is only my oppinion and i can be wrong
i think we ask together this ...
Question 1. --> see @wgarcia
Question 2. --> is the "magic-device-tool" able to work without canonical servers ? sorry i am new here so i create strange questions, feel free to smile about this. i wonder why ubuntu phone has not a "etc/../sources.list"?

@UKPhil thanks , yea you right. was a missunderstanding than.

@DanChapman
i have a crush on.....dekko now so awesome :0)

@mindaugasdi
i think this would be a way to make the terms of rights thing transparent ( big storry copyright) there it would probably only go with a litte red-tape-buerocracy. gnu open source works only with respect for the other companys and there properitary code. in this case the collaboration-platform would bring more structure in this i think...my feeling

@TheUlpio

you my hero
left right down up arrows in keyboard would be awesome. would make work with terminal lot easyer...

Greetings to All

I own an Aquarius E5 HD, bought it for simple calling, reading and writing text with nano and coding with python.
Calling a friend without a intermission from some android-app.
To have a little more controll about that, what the apps are doing. ( Its a lot of "KISS -Keep it Simple and Stupid" that i like on the "UbuntuPhone")
I like your "we make it go" spirit and wish you the best for the future. (Dont lose hope, the interesting part is now starting
