Preparation

  1. Install ADB (Android Debug Bridge, check tutorias online)
  2. Then install a linux subsystem (https://www.howtogeek.com/249966/how-to-install-and-use-the-linux-bash-shell-on-windows-10/) not neccessary on Linux or Mac OS
  3. Install Openssl and Python (check the internet for tutorials)

Steps:

  1. Connect your device with a cable to your computer and enable Developer option (please google how to do that)
  2. Allow access to your device once you connect the cable
  3. in the Terminal call: adb backup -noapk de.halfreal.clipboardactions (this will copy a backup from ClipboardActions on your device called backup.ab)
  4. on linux subsystem : dd if=backup.ab bs=24 skip=1|openssl zlib -d | tar  -xvf - or on Mac OS: dd if=backup.ab bs=1 skip=24 | python -c "import zlib,sys;sys.stdout.write(zlib.decompress(sys.stdin.read()))" | tar -xvf -
  5. sqlite3 -header -csv apps/de.halfreal.clipboardactions/db/ClipboardActions "select * from clips;"  (this creates a csv file that should be compatible with the ClipboardActions import function)
  6. Reinstall the latest version of ClipboardActions and use the import function to import that file.
