Stock SMS/MMS App Crashing After Log Restore - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

I've always had an issue when moving from one rom to another. Essentially I backup my close to 10,000 sms messages, and when I install the new rom attempt to restore them via SMS Backup and Restore app. After doing so it results in the stock messaging app becoming unusable and crashes, which results in lost service and a slew of other problems. As of late I started freezing the stock messaging app with TB and use Go SMS instead, but now I can't receive MMS. Anybody have a sure fire solution? Thanks

No one wants to help? I'd really appreciate some input. Thanks

I have over 10k messages I use to restore (SMS Backup & Restore) without problems, gone through basically every rom you can think of.
And yes I also use GoSms, cause after 1k messages the stock SMS decides it wants to lag like crazy.

Does the stock messaging app crash even when you're not using it? (When you leave it unfrozen)

Yes it crashes regardless. I wouldn't mind if I could leave it alone and not worry about it, but whenever I boot the phone back up and its unfrozen it crashes my phone and it loses signal. Miui is the only rom this didn't happen to, which is why I'm still using it.

Still looking for a solution. The newer version of backup and restore lets you restore message from a certain date on, but not before that date. I feel like if I restored it in two stages with a reboot in between it would have any issues, but I have yet to find a simple method of doing so.

I was having this same issue after restoring my SMS/MMS messages. Then I used SMS Backup + to back them all up to my gmail account. After that I wiped them all out from my phone, and the stock app was still crashing, so I started using GO SMS again. A couple days later, the stock app just started working by itself all of a sudden when I got a notification for an SMS message in my status bar. I'm not sure what fixed it.

Did you try clearing the sms cache through manage apps?? sometimes doing this helps clear up glitches, I did this when I had the Phantom VM bug. not sure if it will work for this but its worth a shot.
Hope this helps

Thanks for all the input guys. I was able to restore my messages in 4 chunks. Worked great, just took forever. Thanks

Hey, I saw this has been a while, but I am trying to do the exact same thing as you. How were you able to restore it in chunks?

MMS Takes over 10 minutes to send now? Community 1.3

Lately it's been taking about10-15 minutes of messing around trying to get the phone to send mms or just to wait for it to send. Sometimes starting two of the same picture helps but most of the time it's just a painfully annoying waiting game. Any ideas on how to fix this? Or anyone else having this issue?
Have you tried go sms pro, free in market? It can work as sms/ mms with stock app or in settings it can be a stand alone replacement. It has been my only sms/mms for a while now with no issues. I use it wether I am on a custom rom or a rooted stock one, I uninstall the stock one and use go sms, no problems.

I would agree, Go SMS Pro works so much better than the stock messaging app. I kept the stock version installed though, just disabled the notification. Works perfectly...

1. Yes swype works but you have to delete your current version of swype and install the new swype beta...do this from swype's website, sorry don't have the link handy, but it is an improvement from the previous version that comes with our phone
2.you can restore apps with TiBu but do not restore system apps, and when you do a batch restore, make sure you select apps only not data...not doing that well get you fc.city!
3.I just downloaded all three and start with hl and work my way down to ll...not sure of a way to see the kernel leakage, all I can ever find is the version name, never if its hl,ml,or ll?? So I start with high and work down so its easy for me to remember

I restored "missing apps + data" but it still didn't restore everything. I had to go through manually and restore the apps I was missing. I don't even know if I restored them all now.
But anywho I tried installing my transparent themed google search bar but it just FC'd on me. So i tried reflashing gapps but now I can't re-install it. From the market it force closes too.

From all of your force close issues it sounds like you missed wiping something when you made the switch to cm7...honestly I would take the time now and odin back to stock and reinstall it shouldn't take more then 15 mins or so since you already should have all the files you need.

Thats why I think you should re flash...I've never had to install google search it's just there when I flash the rom, I always flash the gapps.zip after the rom and never actually checked to see if it was on my phone prior to flashing the gapps...did you do that?? If you did I'd try flashing the gapps.zip again

Well I reinstalled it but it looks to have messed up my back ups in titanium. Look. I'm missing apps too!

Why would it say I have no back ups? ? I have no idea what apps I've lost now.

I batch restored. Once google apps was done installing everything market started restoring a bunch of apps (not all). After that was done I went to titanium and installed
Missing apps + data.
One key difference is that I ticked the option in settings for support for moving data between incompatible roms.
I was having some issues though. Turns out when I upgraded from the old to recent version of glitch kernel I unknowingly put low leak over high leak and with out the removal script. It was almost perfect except every now and then a program would crash.
I wiped data, dalvik and cache. Reinstalled the rom. Let it boot. Installed glitch. Let it boot. Installed google apps and went from there. haven't under volted but that's more about which version of the kernel I have and the battery and speed are so goods already, I'm not worried about it.
I also went through my app list and manually restored data for previously installed apps that I needed. Also eliminates problems with data you don't even need. Then sms restore to restore sms and call log.
The in call sound is still a little quiet though. Luckily my friends, colleagues and I don't use voice calls.
Only a 4 chan app force closes now but it's crappy so that's not surprising.
I hope that helps someone.

I'm getting constant force closes now. Just randomly out of the blue. Sad day . Also reboot locks up my phone and I have to pull the battery
Sent from Megan Fox
I had that. Reboot into recovery. Sounds like you need to do that through adb now. Wipe cache and dalvik. Fix permissions and reboot. Worked for me when that happened. I almost thought I couldn't reboot but I was patient and eventually thw fc tapered off to just google framework and I was able to get the power menu.

Yeah I did that. But now it's back again. It seemed to have only momentarily fixed it. I wiped again and more force closes. I'm beginning to think it has something to do with titanium backup!

I've been on fence about trying CM7. I run it on my Nook Color and like alot. But I depend on my phone for work and I'm worried about all issues I read people are having, particularly call volume. I can't afford to annoy a client with phone issues in this economy!
What is consensus - is this a dependable daily driver?

[Q] LiquidSmooth-ICS ROM - Certain apps force closing

I just flashed my TBolt over to the new Liquid Smooth ICS ROM by AOSP. What an excellent UI, it's very smooth, and it seems to have overall decent battery life. Still playing with it.
While loading a couple of my apps back on, I noticed SMS Backup and VZ Messages no longer work. They both installed with no issues, but when I attempted to use either app, it tells me "Unfortunately, SMS Backup has stopped." I then have the option of reporting the bug or hitting ok. Any ideas?
Try fixing permissions. If that doesn't work try to download the app again from the market and the restore data from tibu.

Yup, tried all of that and still didn't have any luck.
That's weird because SMS backup works fine for me. I don't know about the other though because I don't use it.
Sent from my Thunderbolt using Tapatalk 2
Thanks for the suggestion though. I like the Verizon Messages application because it allows group text messaging, similar to the iMessages system on the iPhone. If you know of any alternatives, I'm all ears
I think that gosms will do that. I haven't used that in a while though.
Sent from my Thunderbolt using Tapatalk 2
Haven't had much luck with gosms pro. Although, I did notice a few bugs when sending out group messages on this ROM. I guess I'll just wait for these bugs to be sorted out as more updates come through. Thanks for your help though!

S3 to S4 titanium backup issue

I upgraded from a rooted stock S3 to a S4. I did a fresh backup with TB before moving my sdcard to the S4. All my apps+data restored fine except for my text messages. I use handcent instead of the stock app. When i try to restore the messaging data it erases the texts I have and then shows a failed message in the status bar. Any ideas why? I still have the S3 if I need to have it to fix my problem.
Thanks in advance
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda app-developers app
Try an app called SMS Backup & Restore, I use that and it works great. They just landed an update a couple days ago that fixed an issue restoring messages to the S4, so perhaps that's the issue you're running into that hasn't been fixed yet.
Thanks. I'll give it a try.

Any clue on whats causing these system errors

Everytime I use Facebook messenger ill receive these errors one right after the other. They appear after I send a message or shutdown the app. I uninstalled and re-installed and the same thing keeps happening. Thanks in advance.

I have problems with messenger when I have the chat heads active. I will receive the system ui crash lots of times and then when I disable it I never see the error again. Might be worth a try?
I've had the chat heads disabled since they first came out, not a fan.
Well I narrowed it down at least. It was my launcher (GO Launcher) I set sense as my default and used FB messenger and didn't receive the messages. No to figure out why. I'm gonna contact GO as they have EXCELLENT customer service, partly the reason I use their products.

Huh that's strange that you all of a sudden started getting errors with that launcher even though you've used it for a long time. Glad that you were able to get it narrowed down though and hopefully they will have an idea of what's wrong and how to fix it
