Made a full backup with TB after moving to Exynos 7.2 and now I'd like to restore just my Call log from my stock rom. Tried restoring "[CONTACTS/CALLS] Contacts Storage" but that wasn't it. Help??
AFAIK, Titanium won't restore your call log. You'll need another app to do that, like this...

i did search the forum and can't seem to find an answer.
are there not files/directories which contain the "call history", "sms", and "mms" which can be easily copy/pasted for backups?
in the alternative, anyone using an app or other approach which effectively backs-up call history, sms, and mms?
Titanium Backup does it.
Edit: I wouldn't restore data if you're coming from froyo to GB or GB to froyo.
titanium backup? can you explain how to accomplish this? thanks
After the backup was done.
Access TB, select "backup/restore" tab.
scroll to "contacts/calls...ctsStorage"... then restore
scroll to "[SMS/MMS/APN]" then restore
scroll to "[SMS/MMS PREFS..." then restore
Hopefully everything works out fine.
titanium backup pro well worth the money!
I use Backup to GMail
MyBackup Pro will do it between roms(2.2>2.3,2.3>2.2) and even phones(DX>Tbolt).

ok so i am attempting to backup/restore my call history. first i did my perfunctory nandroid back-up prior to flashing new ROM. Then backed-up all user and system files and data with Ti BU.
now attemtpted to restore "contacts/calls...ctsStorage". first, data only. result - no phone history apparently restored. second, attempted to restore app and data. result -no phone history apparently restored.
any thoughts?
I have previously restored data, most specifically Sms logs, when going from Cognition to Unnamed. But when going from unnamed to serendipity, I can't get Backup pro, Titanium Backup, or Appextractor to restore my sms logs. It's pretty frustrating. I can get most of the apps and system data to come back, but not SMS. If anyone can recommend a method or program I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks
SMS Backup and Restore by Ritesh Sahu
In general, you should not restore system data when changing ROMs - it will almost always break.

Thanks Entropy, I appreciate the response. Ended up using that program, which I was familiar with but had problems with it in the past. I found a good combo to be Super Backup and SMS Backup and Restore. Super backup handles the contacts and call logs great, Backup and restore works great for SMS, as long as you don't have too many messages .
I try to avoid restoring system data, accept for certain programs.
I use Call Logs Backup and Restore (same guy as SMS Backup/Restore) for my call logs, and for contacts I just keep everything synced to Google.
Anyone had any luck transferring call logs from cm7 to cm9? I tried mybackup root and titanium backup but every time i do that contacts crashes when i start it.
Seems like call log backup and restore works, you just have to restore them, delete them and restore them again with the app, strange but it works.
i made the mistake of relying on lookout to back up my call logs. found out the hard way i couldn't restore
NOOB question - restoring after flashing a new ROM
I get how to do a Nandroid back up...
I get how to do a Titanium Backup...
I would think you do a nandroid backup in case you want to undo everything and go back to a stable ROM and applications...
I would think that when you try out a new custom ROM you'd back up with Titanium and then simply restore your system data and applications with data after you flash the new ROM... BUT most of the new ROM's come with the instructions not to restore from Titanium as it may make things unstable....
So what do you frequent flashers do?
Do you ignore the Dev's telling you not to restore with TI or do you reinstall everything from scratch?
Is there a better way?
Sorry if this is a dumb question...I have hit the thanks button to many of you!
Thanks to all - great forum...
Personally, I restore user apps and selectively some system stuff. Like if I have a newer version of maps, then I'll restore. If it's dialer storage with mms apn etc then no. Every time I try to restore text that way it just screws up my messaging. I do restore bookmark data, launchers, widgets, email, keyboards. Best bet is to set backup limit to 2, backup prior to flash, backup before restoring. restore what you'd like if something is broken, restore data to proper system app. I strongly recommend not restoring dialer storage, just download SMS backup and restore
Over time and experience you'll get what you can and can't restore through titanium backup, from there you can create a custom label for system items that you will restore, and just back those up vs everything
Also, you can restore with titanium backup from nandroid backups now, just in case

Hello!
I've been searching for an answer and I cannot find it. And, because TB doesn't seem to have a forum I'm asking here...
I'm backing up things with TB every time I update/change ROMs. But last time I didn't want to restore everything and forgot to restore the call logs. Now I have a backup with the old call logs and the new call logs. Is there a way to restore the old call logs without deleting the current ones?
Maybe I could backup the current logs too, restore the old ones, make a backup with another app, restore the new logs and do an incremental backup with that app and then restore everything... But I don't know of any app that can do incremental backups to call logs.
Thank you!
i think LIFE SAVER app can do wat u require....

Thank you! It worked!
..though, I didn't have the patience to check every call.
