So i really got this flashing addict now and I already use titanium backup to restore my apps, but how can I restore my sms?
PS: last time I used myphoneexplorer but that was a bit too complicated. And after 1 day my sms are back without even using any app :O Does Google store 'em somewhere and how can I change this settings?

Sms backup and restore from the market.
As for them showing up on their own, that's a htcsence feature.
Good to know. Any way to change the settings of this sync as it takes a couple hours? Also I hope I will not get any double sms when using sms backup and sense. But I'm gonna go ahead and try it now, that's the best method

If you restore with the app, your sense account won't duplicate them. Is easier and faster with the app because it usually takes time for your sense account to sync them. I don't trust htcsence to work properly each time I flash either as their server seems to be down on a regular basis.
One other reason to use the application is when you are using a non sense rom you won't be able to use htcsense.

Just use TitaniumBackup to remove any apps you don't like.

Your google account will back up contacts for you, numbers emails even pics

Call me an idiot...but I thought Google sync was obsolete with android, considering most of the devices are powered by Google! ....am I wrong....be nice !!
I will reiterate - Titanium Backup works great for restoring, in my case programs with data like Timeriffic.

You are wrong. Google sync is an android feature. It's one of the benefits to logging in with your gmail account when you setup a new ROM.

I've never been able to get Titanium Backup to backup and restore contacts...
You could just export your contacts to your SD card then import them back after you flash a new ROM. While in people, hit menu then export.
Sorry to bother everyone, but I've been searching the forums for a while now, and I've used some of the really good ROM's that have been designed, however I recently decided to go back to a Stock ROM.
Yet again, like many people I'm sure, I have become bored of the stock ROM and fancy a change.
I've decided to go for the ICS ROM but reached a dilemma.
I don't want to lose everything such as contacts, messages, etc.
I use titanium backup pro, but even that doesn't save them.
I was wondering if there was a way to do this?
Thanks in advance and sorry for babbling on!

Rom as ICS has not yet been released
KIES backups contacts etc .

Okay that confirms I am confused between ROM and Kernal..I think.
& Oh yeah! I didn't even think of using Kies to backup my contacts!
Thanks!

Rom - custom software build for your phone.
Kernel - base software backbone for your phone.
And in terms of flashing a ROM with data still intact, its possible, but it depends on wether or not the ROM wipes your data. Most likely, it will. Now a kernel is easier. As long as it works with the corresponding ROM, you shouldn't have any trouble.

You can do anything with Titanium Backing up to root. Previously with Odin rooting firmware flash
Move contacts to sim card and also remove it when wiping
Sent from my sgs2 running cm9 using xda app
Also, try these two from the market:
- SMS Backup & Restore
- Call Logs Backup & Restore
Worked great for me.

I store all my contacts on my google account, so everytime I switch roms/handsets, they just sync down.
With sms, you can either backup using an sms backup app, or mybackup pro does it. Neither require root.
Or...what I do is have backup to gmail installed, which auto backs up all my sms and mms to relevant sms and mms folders on my gmail account. That way I have them always, I do also use mybackup pro just so they are also in my messages app.
1. Sync contacts to Skype/Googlemail(google-backup)
2. Sync Messages to Titanium backup/pro
3. Anything Else won't get lost as you can sync things back. like Email and Calendars.
If you keep Notes, copy and paste things to Google Docs, to get them backed up.
Your Apps will get wiped but will install back with your Gmail.
Rest is the application Data, that will be Wiped.. After all you want a new start...
Just backup your apps with Titanium backup and restore after the flash
My contacts are synchronized with gmail and on simcard
Calender is synched with gmail
Thanks a lot guys. This has really helped. I think I'll back my contacts up to G-mail as that's my main concern. Messages being backed up would be helpful, but not necessary.

I use rom toolbox pro to backup my apps and sms. It has more features than others for the same price.

SMS Backup and Restore
Its is best and free, easy to use, you can get it from market

I use Titanium Back Up. Create a "batch group" of apps and data that you would like to restore on your new ROM, and that way it is just a one-click process to restore everything.
Hej, i'd like to save & then restore sms/call history from a nandroid, however the apps/method i tested erase current one while restoring...
For SMS there's GoSMS Cloud that works, however limit is to 1000 and i've reached it. For call logs, no idea...
I need to send back the phone in few hour so hope someone can help me to find a solution quickly... Thanks!
Not sure if it has a limit, but have you tried Titanium Backup ?
It does erase current one. Please people, help, only got an hour left to save with the right app....

Does it have to be from a Nandroid ? If not then you can try My Backup Root.
I have one contact2.db file anf another xml from titanium, i want to merge them for restore.

Hey there!
It probably is possible to merge it, but I think this is an easier solution:
I use SMSBackup+, it's awesome! (PlayStore link.
Just backup your sms with it, they will get stored into a separate gmail label.
Now restore your old sms (overwrite the current ones) and restore the other ones from SMSBackup+.
Did work like a charm for me in the past.
Thanks, gonna try!

I know this is a newb question,
I backed up using TWRP and flashed Rootbox. This is my first time rooting, unlocking, and flashing a new ROM.
Everything went very swimmingly and I'd like to thank everyone for putting up very simple guides and everyone who made this possible.
I just have a few questions. How do you guys restore your old texts and call logs and apps and whatnot after you flash a new ROM?
I updated everything I could from my google account and got some of my contacts, but I'm missing a bunch.
Thanks!
Edit: Oh ****, my apps are here! Just looking for text and call logs!
Unless you backed up your texts and call log using a third party app such as Titanium Backup or Carbon, they are gone. Most likely your apps where redownloaded through the playstore using googles backup/restore feature.

Seconded. I've been using Carbon to save and restore my messages and call logs without issue.
