Migrating 1.5 => 2.1 - Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there any way to migrate your SMS, contacts and call logs from Cupcake ROMS to Flan ones? I've used backup root but it doesnt restore them =\ it causes the hero's native messaging app and handcent to FC. =\

Personally I use Google for email/calendar/contacts so there is always a backup.
That said I also bought My Backup Pro which is superb and not that expensive.
Kies
Titanium Pro
Google

You can also try the MyBackup app..
Will try MyBackup. Thanks.
GoContacts is a free app and allows export/import/backup of contacts.. it's pretty decent. Although Titanium Backup can do it all

[Q] Restoring Text messages

I want to restore my text messages from my old phone to my newly arrived Amaze 4G. Is it possible since my old phone was using Cyanogenmod Messenger app and the Amaze is using HTC Messaging?
I would just use an sms backup app from the market.
The HTC messenger is just a heavily modified stock messenger. So if you back up on the old phone with an sms back up app, transfer the files to the amaze's storage then recover... it should, in theory, restore your SMS.
This is SMS backup & restore https://market.android.com/details?id=com.riteshsahu.SMSBackupRestore&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5yaXRlc2hzYWh1LlNNU0JhY2t1cFJlc3RvcmUiXQ..
... but hey, a clean slate is good as well... right?
This doesn't work however I got my old sms back by using stock messenging. Thanks anyway

try my backup root from play store
Get to grips with TitaniumBackup, essential app for rooting and flashing custom roms. It'll backup and restore all your messages, wifi data, call logs (a bit temperamental though with call logs) and bookmarks etc. Very quick aswel.
I'd recommend syncing contact and calendar information with your Google account though and not restoring those with backups.
Also consider mybackup pro, for backing up SMS and logs.

I am now also using Titanium Backup Pro it is amazing and recover all user apps or even system data ... I wonder if there is any option to delete backuped system data and leave only apps ...
I use mybackup pro and it backs up everything, apks, data, texts, pictures, everything.
It's a thing of beauty.

How to transfer sms/mms from GB to ICS?

Is there a way to do this? I've tried TiBu to no avail. A bit of a noob when it comes to Android.
*edit* If it is possible to xfer texts from GB to ICS, is it also possible to merge sms/mms that are already on my gs3?
**edit** I tooled around with the AT&T Messages app for a bit and decided it wasn't for me. Is there a way to merge the sms from the AT&T Messages app with the stock messaging app with sms backup?

I've been using SMS Backup+ for quite a long time. I have it set to automatically backup up my SMS, MMS, and Call log every 2 hours to labeled folders in my Gmail account. You can also restore after flashing a new ROM (or getting a new phone), and it'll MERGE instead of overwrite.
New version of titanium backup pro has it now.

Good to know, the google play page for this app says it doesn't restore MMS.
"Automatically backup SMS, MMS and call log entries using a separate label in Gmail / Google Calendar. It is also possible to restore SMS and call log entries back to the phone (MMS not supported yet)."
So I've always stayed away from it.

True, it still doesn't restore MMS, but I almost never view old MMS pics on my phone. If you really need to, though, you can always view them in your gmail account instead.
Thanks for the replies fellas. I guess there is no straight solution to transfer sms and mms from GB to ICS.
I remember gosms had this really cool backup and restore feature from sd card back when i used to use it, maybe give that a shot? :good:
Zmore is the man. Worked like a charm. Hopefully SMS Backup + adds MMS support soon.

Transferring info from S3

Has anyone used mybackup or titanium to move call logs and sms? Not sure if it will work on different devices. I am on an exchange server, so dont need to transfer contacts, email and calendar. Thanks!

For SMS I use SMS backup and restore. I load the XML file on dropbox and can download it to the new device and restore it through the app. No recommendation for call logs as I don't really care too much about those (i rarely make/receive calls that aren't from my wife). No root required.
