Setting up second e phone

Using /e/OS Setup
2

A couple of possibilities

  1. Backup the data partition old phone using TWRP, transfer the backup to the new phone either via SD card or via a PC. Note that TWPR backups live in a directory TWRP/<phone serial number>. So you will have to create that directory on the new phone, either manually, or by performing a TWRP backup on the new phone. Then restore the transferred backup on the new phone.
  2. If you have a linux pc, then use Android Backup and Restore Tools project, to backup the old phone and restore to the new phone. This isn’t as complete as using TWRP - some apps either won’t get backed up or won’t be able to be restored. But it should do most of what you want. You’ll have to enter your /e/ account details, and details of any email accounts (though you can export your email settings on the old phone, and import them on the new phone

If it was me, I would do both of the above :slight_smile:

Good luck!
