You could import your private key in coinomi  (sweep them).

There is no problem of you use the latest version.

Hi, I have an existing Coinomi wallet which initially I created by using a SEED that I had from a Mycelium wallet. After that now I'm trying to use this same Coinomi wallet to obtain my BCH from a different wallet I have in Electrum. In Coinomi, which has btc and bch coins acivated, I did "sweep" of an Electrum address private key:
- I got to the part confirm and then it seemed to send something to an address....but I see nothing in Coinomi after that transaction that it does during the sweeping process. WTF? Where could that transaction, that probably sent all my BCH corresponding to that Electrum address, be?

A question that comes to mind is; if any address private key is somehow tied to the SEED or master private key of a specific wallet, can it be that I cannot do a sweep into an existing Coinomi wallet of that address private key because the Coinomi wallet I created using a seed from MYcelium, which is completely different from the Electrum wallet I'm trying to sweep from ? I mean, would it be necessary for me to create a completely new Coinomi wallet? (in which case I'd expect to see these lost BCH from the confirm transaction there?)
