Restarted #grapheneOS

Lost all my homescreen/PWA's 😥

Anyone know how to get them back?

Its an ongoing issue. Had the same thing happen to be when I let my battery die one night. Just happened again after an update. Hadn't had it happen after an update before.

Damn. Yeah never happened before for me.

Just did a quick restart cause I haven't done one in a few days.

Not a big deal, just more of an annoyance, as that's how I saved my most used/visited web pages/PWA's.

No update this time; just a random restart I chose to do.

Thanks for posting

Interesting, I'll pay attention to that when I upgrade.

Before you restart, I'd recommend;

1) screenshot all your homescreen s

2) open each PWA/bookmark in normal web browser, and bookmark them there

3) after doing 2), download your bookmarks to back them up

If I wojldbe done this I wouldn't have needed to go through and try to remember what I had on my home screen

Again its not too big of a deal, just a annoying nuisance

I hope it will never happen to me, I spend so much time doing PWAs and sorting everything into folders to have all on one screen.

Did the screenshot right now, usually I do this only before a full reinstall.

I wish we could backup/restore this.

You can,

A bit of a manual process, but follow this👇

I tested and worked great to 'share' into my local notes app. Just need to open all my bookmarks and do this💪

Also, for what PWA's/homescreen bookmarks I did have, vanadium did "save" those somehow, when i started typing them into vanadium app, even if I didn't have that saved in my vanadium bookmarks exclusively

Very very helpful to find and remake my PWA's

I don't really use Vanadium but for a couple PWAs that works only on Chromium. Otherwise I use Firefox with bookmarks sync.

I was mostly asking about saving apps icons position and folders on the launcher main screen.

Ah yea I would just do screenshots for that

Not sure another easier way to do so
