Why?
My iPhone 7 is now (2023) several years old, battery is bad, updates won't be available for much longer.
How?
I purchased a Google Pixel 8 and I tried to migrate all the apps and services to the new device…
- Automatic Transfer of Apps and Data is, besides of copied music, rubbish
Apps, that are identically available and working just fine
- Floccus
- Home Assistant
- Signal
- Ingress
- Pokemon Go
- Amazon
- eBay
- …
In general, you can assume commercial apps are just fine (somehow sad)
Apps, that needed to be replaced
- BookPlayer → Smart AudioBook Player (Note: If Audiobooks from internal storage don't show up - rename
m4b
tom4a
…) - FreeOTP → Google Authenticator
- Music →
- (Markdown Editor) →
- Nextcloud Notes
- Simple Markdown
- →
- →
- →
- →
Apps, that caused me headaches
- NextCloud App…
- …was syncing very slow. Maybe because of this:

- Generally: Wait for Download/Sync. It takes a while and there is no progress shown, but it will work in the end
- …how to transfer Audiobooks to internal storage
- Go to settings, make sure you choose
/data/user/0/com.nextcloud.client/files
[2] as this will allow you to open the files in other Apps - Use the kebap-menu for
Download
(Sync) - Use
Export
(This will copy it to Internal Storage/Downloads) - Use the
Files
-App to move it to Internal Storage/Audiobooks - If it's
.m4b
, rename it to.mp3
or.m4a
- it will then show up in Smart Audiobook Player
- Go to settings, make sure you choose
