Ok, I made that… :slight_smile:

For whatsapp export/import follow these steps:

  1. On older device make export all chats (aka backup) - directory with backup database is located /home/defaultuser/android_storage/Android/media/com.whatsapp/WhatsApp/Databases
  2. Copy all files to SD card or via scp to newer device.
  3. On newer device delete WhatsApp if you tried it in past… so device should be without WhatsApp installed on it.
  4. Install WhatsApp from Aurora store.
  5. After installation, it should be possible to locate this directory: /home/defaultuser/android_storage/Android/media/com.whatsapp/WhatsApp unfotunately it was not possible for me, so I run WhatsApp just to 1st page (Selecting language) and close app.
  6. Then I’ve created Databases directory in WhatsApp, so final destination has to be same as in older device: /home/defaultuser/android_storage/Android/media/com.whatsapp/WhatsApp/Databases
  7. Copy all files which were in Databases directory to final destination.
  8. Run WhatsApp again, and voala… after few pages with selecting language and confirm your phone number, import database page appears :stuck_out_tongue:
