The title says it all. I want to wipe my phone and then only use open source apps. The thing im afraid of is not backing up my data correctly and losing things like my keepass.

I have to make sure the data from the open source apps is downloadable as well so i can reload them to my phone.

Any tips to assist me with this process?

If your phone is older you can do full per app backups via ADB. It's very hit and miss. Some people need to root the phone for it to work, some don't. For some it works for someit doesn't.

Just try it out, it doesn't take a lot of time. If it doesn't work just move on.
