Cosmo Communicator - Android / Transferring texts and contacts to Android
« on: November 20, 2019, 02:16:30 pm »
I have an N900 as my daily driver. It has SMS and MMS history from quite a long period. I can export the SMSes in CSV format easily (it's just an sqlite database).
What's the best method to transfer these to Android (preferably without some paid app).
I found this https://github.com/teleshoes/Android-SMS-DB-importer but not much else.
Same applies for contacts. I can always export them to the SIM card of course and import back in, but SIM card only allows you to have one phone number per contact and not ancillary info (company, etc). I can export them as VCFs from the N900.
I'd prefer to avoid syncing them via a Google account. In fact, I hope to run my Android with minimal interactions with google, except for Play store.
