Is this tool still the way to go, to fully restore Signal on a new device? I made a full backup, the restored it with the BackupImporter, then upgraded to the newest Signal-JW (same one I used on the old device). But when I start that it looks like there is my old chat-list and settings, until a moment later Signal just crashs. It will keep crashing from now on, whenever I try to launch it.

This tool is outdated and not maintained anymore, it fails to copy the shared preferences. This is fixed in the backup import method in Signal-JW but I never ported that over to this app.
