Factory resetting

Before factory resetting your device to install a new ROM, fix issues, or just to have a fresh start, you should always back up your most important data.

List of things to backup

  • Contacts - Export your contacts to a VCF file
  • Call logs - Go to settings and export them to a JSON file
  • Messages - Go to settings and export them to a JSON file
  • Photos - I personally just have an Immich server with automatic uploads, but you might not. Remember to check these paths: DCIM, Pictures and Downloads
  • Aliucord - Copy the Aliucord folder from your internal storage
  • Telegram - Make sure to be logged in on your PC or another device, so you can log back in after the reset
  • KeePassXC - If you use it, copy your database file/s to a safe place
  • Aegis - If you use it, copy your database file/s to a safe place
