I flashed 2.9nv by doing a reset/wipe => pushing Stock EB01 Engineering build => pushing Stock EB01-root-CWM => then flashing SC 2.9.
Everything is great and clock lag and poor battery life are now fixed. But as I've been going through my phone I noticed that I had no messages (which I would expect given the reset/wipe). So I went into TiBU and restored data only for the Messaging app. I still didn't have my messages. Now I'm bummed I did this restore since I was trying to avoid any restores from TiBU's.
So I reinstalled an application that I had used when backing up to install 2.9 called SMS Backup & Restore and used that to restore my messages.
How are others restoring messages after a reset/data wipe?
I've been using that same program; works pretty well for me.

Restore the [SMS/MMS/APN] Dialer Storage in TiBU, and reboot the phone. Your msgs, should be restored.

I have looked around and still haven't found a concrete answer to this.
What is the best way to backup and restore with Titanium Backup?
Usually, before i flash new ROMs, I will delete all backups, and then rebackup everything.
Then when I actually flash to a new one, I will restore "all missing apps + data"
Is this the best way to do things?
The reason I ask is because of some glitches I have ran into with some ROMs, specifically Axura.
I love the ROM, but whenever i restore after flashing it, the lockscreen will stay on after receiving a text message, until i turn it off manually. This is very bad for the battery if i go for a while not noticing a msg.
Any ideas?
After so many flashes its good to flash to back stock through odin. You also need to make sure to check repartition box in odin to make sure there are no skeletons in your closet. Also when restoring apps and data, only do data when going from a 2.1 rom to 2.1. Ive reaf people having problems reinstalling data from 2.1 to 2.2.
Fear the beard...
Another thing I do now that im flashing strictly 2.2 is only restore missing apps and essential system data such as email, accounts and sync settings, wifi settings, and messaging if I want to preserve my texts. Others that might be handy are phone settings and wallpaper settings this last will restore wallpaper and fonts and some other user settings. I have contacts set to sync with gmail. Im sure there's one or two I've forgotten but you get the gist of it.

I ONLY backup & user apps+data. then I use mybackup pro to back up + restore texts, call logs, bookmarks, system settings. Haven't run into any issues doing this.

Disturkis4u,
when you do this
are you flashing from 2.1 to 2.2
or
2.1 to 2.1 or 2.2 to 2.2?
I've done it for both.

i backup user apps and data before every flash. sometimes i batch delete previous backups if there are apps i no longer want/need just to clean things up so i can just run the install user apps+data without going through the list and deselecting ones i no longer want. i've also backed up accounts, wifi access points, and a couple other of the green options in system data. i've never had a problem after restoring.
Does Titanium backup restore game saves or any progress you made?
Hi,
For the last 4 days or so whenever I flash a new ROM I keep getting this error @ random times, not even when I go to access the stock messaging app, sms stills works perfectly as well
After lots of research I have deleted the message.db, tried to do full wipes, factory resets and then flash Wanamlite Rom and there it comes back, tried other Roms as well same thing
I have a small suspicion it could be related to flashing different Siyah kernel's form 2.1 to 2.2 and now to 2.3
It just kinda seems to disappear after trying loads of things
....really frustrating.....any advice would be appreciated
What did you do after flashing a new rom or after a factory reset, did you restore anything from a previous backup at all?
All I would restore are my apps via Titanium but not system restores.
Don't think its that because I even get it when I restore to a perfectly good nandroid backup via CWM which never gave the issue but now suddenly does, even do full wipes before the restore as well.

simple solution
I also had a same problem.
I copied an old sms from SIM to Phone memory.
Then started the problem.
Then I installed the third party app "go sms pro"
and deleted the same old message from phone memory inbox.
Now the problem has solved and able to access the default indox.
I guess this goes beyond the Defy forums...
I have a Motorola Defy with CyanogenMod-7.1.0-11-Defy on and since about 3 days ago I noticed that it doesn't send SMS'es. At first I didn't care, but today I looked more into it.
The message center is the right one. Wiped the Messaging data, restored it from an earlier backup with Titanium Backup. Wiped the cache partition. Nothing! I even freezed some apps that I recently installed (nothing that might have to do with SMS'es).
Strangely, Handcent SMS sends the messages.
I've had a similar problem some time ago (before using CM7), but that time it was because of the CloclworkMod recovery. After I uninstalled that (not the market app) everything went back to normal. This time the recovery is included in CM7....
Any ideas what should I try?
I have the exact same problem. still haven't figured out a fix short of wiping your data and re-flashing your rom.
In the end I've made a back-up with Titanium Backup, wiped, installed ROM (newer version of CM7) and restored the backup.
Everything seems to work now.
I flashed the newest AOKP build (Galaxy Nexus Toro), and was getting the error process.android.process.acore has stopped working error. As found on a thread here, I cleared data for Contacts and Contacts Storage. This appeared to work.
I then attempted to restore the data for those two apps from Titanium Backup Pro. Now, when I attempt to open Dialer, it crashes immediately, and if I go to attempt delete the data for Contacts apps again, they aren't even in the list. They are also not in the list for Titanium Backup's backed up data either, mysteriously.
I've wiped Dalvik and tried re-flashing, but am not sure what to do beyond that. Can I fix this without factory reset and/or losing all data?

Hey guys,
I'm having issues with messaging apps on my virgin mobile S2. The issue came about the other day with the stock messaging app, where I would open any conversation, and when I go to close out of it, the app freezes and then gives the "unfortunately messaging has stopped". I tried clearing the cache in recovery mode and that has not helped. I have also tried downloading 2 new messaging apps and they are both having the same issue; freezing when I close out a sms conversation. Not really sure where to go from here. Do you think a factory reset would help? Also, is there any way to re-install the stock messaging app? I definitely did a system backup with Titanium Backup a while back, but the app is showing nothing as being backed up...and I foolishly deleted my messaging app.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
-Mike
As a general response to asking "Will a factory reset help?", it's best to make a complete nandroid backup, do the reset and see if that fixes the problem. If it doesn't, you can always restore the back up.
Doing a reset will recover the default messaging app, so I'd recommend it in this case. Titanium backup should recover all your data, but be careful when recovering sms data, as there may be some corrupted messages which cause crashes.

Do I need to unroot before I do the factory reset?
Root will disappear automatically!
If you're using a custom recovery, it may not remove root, however.
I just did a factory reset. It did not seem to recover the default messaging app; seems it is lost and gone forever. I can't seem to find the apk anywhere online either.
Installing stock rom via odin will restore all system apps, in this case messaging too, so find your stock rom and flash via odin.
Install a New ROM via Odin.Before this,It is better to do MegaWipes.
