Hi guys i recently upgraded to 2.1 (which is great btw, ty XDA team ) before flashing i backed up my messages through the default message app for sony ericson but now im in 2.1 and cant reload theses message is there a certain way of doing it?
any help will be appreciated ty in advance
i had the same problem. what u do is downgread to 1.6 and install an app called sms backup and recover. u back ur sms's with it then upgrade to 2.1 again. After that install sms back up and recover again and restore ur old 1.6 backup files.
the whole process took me about 10 mins.
why android 2.2.1 no timescape and backup&restore one????
anyone can giv me this 2 apk for android 2.2.1...
Excuse me please, what? Nobody want such things in Froyo. Sony made no version for Froyo because they don't want to supply the Xperia X10 with Froyo.
Forgot such crap apps.

If you want this crappy features try the stock SE rom

There is no version of Timescape or Mediascape that will work with 2.2.
You will have to use 2.1 if you actually want to use the SE bloatware.

LMAO!! Timescape? Dude... are you okay? ^^
LOL ^^ That's really funnny ^^
for backup&restore you have xRecovery
agree with my austrian friend, who posted before me
no one likes that laggy **** app, called time/mediascape
backup & restore apps are free in the market..
its so laggy, and drains so much battery. why do you want that?
If you really want SE's junk then go back to stock rom. Though I cant see why someone would want to do that..

did you make a backup on xrecovery first before your new rom? Make another backup of your current situation, then go back to prior backup, save contacts to your sd card (which you should always do anyway) by clicking the menu button while in your contacts app and clicking "export", then to sd card. Then go to the most recent backup, go into contacts app again and click import from sd card. Voila, all fixed...
everybody hate it! LOL....
even on my stock 2.1 rom, i've deleted mediascape and use the original gallery and music player instead
If only Timescape was more optimized, it could have been a great app. I mean you have to admit, it is aesthetically pleasing.
i must agree
the eye candy is really nice to look at
just that the laggin it brings is unbearable
It has nothing to do with Froyo, you couldn't install Timescape, Mediascape and Backup and Restore on 2.1 AOSP either. They're signed to only work on SE ROM. You will have to reinstall a ROM based on stock-SE firmware and backup your contacts in another way.
Easiest way is to sync contacts with google account, so they'll be automatically restored on every ROM when you sign into your account. Other way is to export them into a vcf-file on your SD card, like someone said before.
I don't really know about backing up messages, but there are lot of free apps on the market to backup and restore these. Just don't use Titanium Backup, since it caused force closes on message apps for some people after restoring the messages.

Simply do a backup in xRecovery of any system you want to restrore back leter. Apps will be backuped fine. Contacts and t.msgs will be lost if you won't sync them via google profile.

no...try something like "my backup root" from the market. Backup your apps and apks and restore them on the new ROM
I just updated my phone to the newest firmware and made sure to back up the entire contents of my phone to my computer.
However, when I went to the menu to restore my settings and contacts from my sim card, the stock app is not there. so how do i restore my contacts from the data directory?

First off, only make one post (XDA doesn't like spamming)
Anyway, what was the app name and are you on 2.3.5? Do you use XRECOVERY? Are you on custome Rom and/or kernel?

Hello people,
I am Nathan and I am new to xda,
My phone is sony ericsson xperia x10(carrier - Rogers) recently I upgraded my android OS to gingerbread 2.3.3, after upgrading I searched the restore option in the menu to restore all my contacts and messages but too bad there is no such thing in the new OS, since I am a rookie in these things I asked my friend and he suggested me to reach XDA.
(before upgrading I created a back up file of all the contacts, messages and call log in the SD card)
so I need your help to restore all my contacts and messages.
ur help is greatly appreciated
thanks
With which program did You do the backup?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
I used the stock back and restore option
Try this:

If that doesn't help, you can restore 2.1, then install MyBackup, make a backup, then update to 2.3.3, again install MyBackup and restore data.
