I cannot select and copy the mnemonic seed

Copying anything to the clipboard on Android exposes it to any other App running. So this is a security measure to keep your seed safe(r).

My storage is getting full

Newly generated wallets are stored in .new in the main wallet folder. They are never erased (for now). You can delete this whole folder from time to time.

Also, the backup folder .backups is never automatically cleaned up. You may want to do housekeeping manually with a file browser.

All wallet files (testnet and mainnet) are stored in the main Monerujo folder. So be careful erasing stuff. One of the future releases will split the wallets and move testnet wallets out of there.

Do you have any screenshots of what it looks like and how it works?

No, but it looks fantastic. Just check it out.

Can I use existing wallet files?

If you want to use existing wallet files, you need to copy the wallet files from you current Monero client. These are:

WalletName
WalletName.address.txt
WalletName.keys

From where?

This depends on your installation - you could search for them in your home directory or check the settings of your current client. Places to try are C:\Users\<YOURUSERNAME>\Documents\Monero\wallets for Windows or ~/.bitmonero/wallet in Linux. Or just search for WalletName.keys.

What if don't have these files?

Keep calm and make a new wallet.
