Finally found a solution to a problem called: “How do I switch between two phones without having to go trough excruciating setup process over and over again”?

Granted, this probably isn’t a problem for people who checks notes don’t try to mainline their phones, but it was still annoying.

Reading about how Android stores information led me to deprecated utilities, people calling each other idiots on xda-developers (as it is tradition) and so on.

However, I finally figured it out. I can’t guarantee it would work across different Android builds, I tested this on LineageOS. No stupid apps needed.
