Last time, I could simply copy the
appstate.bin
file to the new device, as described in [this Q&A](https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/225695/how-to-recover-open-opera-tabs-from-backup-data-after-phone-bricked) . But this time, either my backup is too old or something else changed. Copying that file has no visible effect.
However, I have synced my open tabs to Opera's servers. On my freshly reinstalled phone, I can still see the "tabs open on a different device" which is that same phone pre-reinstall. I can also view the list of open tabs on www.sync.opera.com/tabs .
How can I get all of them open on my phone again? I don't want to manually choose each one until the 1811 tabs are opened. It is also possible for me to view the same list in opera on desktop under opera://activity
.
I have root access on my phone.
----------
Seeing the number, I'm reconsidering whether I should even bother, since I will probably never look at most of those again. But I'm still curious if there is an easy way of restoring those.
The official opera forums [don't sound like that feature exists](https://forums.opera.com/topic/26899/open-all-tabs-from-other-devices) .
----------
When I right-click > save as
on the opera sync website, I get the full list in a single line of html (without newlines).
Each (I hope) entry is set up like this:
Solved: Bluetooth volume defaults to maximum on each new connection | Android Development and Hacking

So if we knew how to automatically open the tabs on the phone given the URLs, extracting them should not be too hard.
