Backup
There are a few popular apps you should ensure you've manually backed up the shared secrets for, such as:
- Signal
- Silence
- Google Authenticator
You'll need adb for this. On Debian or Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb
then you'll want to make a directory to back your files up to:
mkdir android-backup
cd into that directory, and start by backing up all your installed applications:
adb backup -all # Consider adding -apk -obb -shared as well
and now you can also backup your internal sdcard:
adb pull /sdcard/ .
The above assumes you're in android-backup, otherwise replace the . with the directory you want to backup to.
Flash
Wipe System, Dalvik, and Cache and flash rom, gapps and magisk again.
Do NOT wipe Data and Internal Storage or you will lose all your data!
