It really is long past time I figured out how to back up anything mission critical on my Android, factory reset it, and rebuild my digital office. Because as soon as I finish getting an up-to-date OS onto my PinePhone, I want to move as much of my day-to-day mobile computing to that as possible.
@strypey potentially might make sense to use a remote service – like Nextcloud – as a compatibility layer of sorts? To synchronize files, calendar data, etc.

I've been trying, but seems to take a bit of tinkering to get it all working reliably. I got online years before I owned my own computer, let alone carrying one around in my pocket, so organising my computing to be device independent is a reflex. It's just that Android is designed to make it hard to sync with anything other than Goggle services. Still working out the details.
