Transferring to a new smartphone

[balloni55]

Hello menion,
I have a new smartphone,'VIVO X 200FE' with Android 16.
The transfer from the Xcover4S worked well so far.

The new device no longer has extSD, so I installed Locus completely on
storage/emulated/0/Android/media.

Now I have two questions:
1. Does it still make sense/is it still necessary to use the AFA version? If not, can I simply install the normal apk with the next update?
2. I have many POIs with images where the path information no longer matches. How can I solve this problem?

Hello @balloni55,

1. Regarding the AFA version under Android/media, I'm not sure if it's necessary. I don't want to take any risks, so I always use the AFA version anyway.

2. If the path to the attached photos (or other attached files) is not exactly the same, you will probably have to reassign all attachments. I've already been through this myself. I do have a device with an SD card slot again, but I'm now using a different (larger) card and it has a different name/encoding. However, I've now got into the habit of storing photos in the internal memory, which is no problem with 512 GB. 😉

Hello Wolfgang,
/Android/media is accessible up to Android 16 (but nobody knows if another insanity from Google will strike going forward ...)
On my two devices (phone, tablet, Samsung Galaxy) with Android 16 I sometimes use the AFA, sometimes the standard version when installing betas - makes no difference.
Cheers
Michael
