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

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. =\

You could use MyBackUp Pro. It can backup all those things you mentioned
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 used MyBackup Pro for a long time; though that over writes

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.
SOLVED: I rooted my LTE and flashed FreshEVO 5.1. Then took the SD card out of my OG Evo that had a titanium backup of everything on it and restored missing apps and system data.
Texts didn't come through. So I then used SMS backup and restore to go back on the old phone, back them up and then beam the file to my LTE. Installed same program on new phone and restored. Seemed to restore 2000 texts but after finished I see no messages.
Here's the weird part: if I send or receive a text it shows the message history for that person but then reverts to the 'no messages' blank page. I've tried clearing messages data in the app settings without resolution.
Ideas?
Thx
Download titanium backup and backup the file called Dialer storage or sms dialer storage. That's the best way to do it in my opinion. Works everytime for me.

Thx for the info. Still not showing up though. Almost like the sms app is corrupted.

Have you tried SMS Backup+? It's what I used to pull SMS and Call Log from my OG EVO to the EVO LTE (both running Fresh). I use it because it backs up to a Gmail account via IMAP. Even if you can't restore, the messages are only a quick search in the Gmail app.
FWIW, I do recall a few times after the restore on the OG EVO I had to reboot before the messages showed up in the messaging app. Maybe something similar is happening...
SOLVED
Used titanium backup to wipe Dialer/SMS and then re-restored texts with SMS Backup and Restore.
Thanks to all who answered.
I just performed a full wipe of my HTC One M7 and flashed a new rom. Once it was done I downloaded Titanium backup from the Play Store and restored all my backed up data. Note that I didn't back up my SMS messages with Titanium, just my SMS app, Textra.
Once it was done I opened up Textra and all my messages were sitting there just as they were before the wipe.
I'm pretty sure that Google doesn't backup things like SMS messages, so where did they come from?

Text messages will be stored as data for the Textra app so when restoring Textra it will likely restore messages too.
Before doing factory reset, I made a backup of SMS/MMS using Sony stock Backup and Restore in Settings.
After flashing new firmware (224), I restored from that backup , and found only incoming messages were shown in other messaging apps like Hangouts, Google Messenger and Textra. Weirdly, sent messages appear in stock sony messaging app.
I tried 3rd party app to backup SMS, and found it only backup incoming messages.
It looks like only stock or system apps recognize sent messages.
How can I make other apps recognize sent messages?
I don't have problem sending new messages using other apps, and newly sent messages are just okay.
But, if I made a backup with Sony BnR, and restore it, the same thing happens again..
