Can I ask why you didn't backup messages with "SMS Backup & Restore" from the play store? Can I ask why you didn't backup your contacts on to a Gmail or Windows Live account? . Flash back to stock, move contacts and messages back on to your phone, backup with suggested applications then move on to Wanam Lite

[Q] Best way to Backup Apps, Contacts and Settings

Hallo.
I want to flash from void to the new 2.2.2 Firmware.
Whats the best way to backup my settings, Apps, and Contacts?
Titanium backup or mybackup (must have root for both)
try both and see what you like, if you want to backup your rom and kernel too, use nandroid
to save apps there is AppSaver, u find it in the market
for contacts i use google contacts in gmail, for sms "SMS Backup & Restore"
and for calls "Call logs Backup & Restore"

[Q] Backup Linked Contacts

Hi. My contacts are all from gmail contacts, usually linked with Facebook and Twitter accounts. How do I backup these linkage so that I don't need to go link them again after a flash?
if they are gmail link connects, you should have to do any think as the links are not on your phone, but if you have them saved on the phone or sim card, you have to linkl them again as back up software does not always work across different levels of firmware.
use titanium backup before flashing and backup -> [CONTACTS/CALLS] Contacts storage.
its under backup system data..
restore back after flashing
Thanks. It works

[Q] Whatsapp reader or restore old messages

Hi all, i guess it's is already mentioned.. but i couldnt find it after searching for almost a day.
I have old whatsapp messages that i want restored, could anyone explain me the way how to do it?
greetings,

I'm not quite sure what your problem is. Did you change the device or reinstall whatsapp and want to restore a backup?
In general it should work following these steps:
http://www.teamandroid.com/2011/08/21/how-to-backup-chat-messages-in-whatsapp/
Follow the steps below to backup your Whats chat conversations:
- Open WhatsApp.
- Press the Menu key, and go to ‘Settings’.
- Scroll down and go to ‘More’;.
- Now tap once on “Chat History Backup” and backup will start.
That’s it! Next time when you re-install WhatsApp after a full reset, you will be asked to restore your previous backup (which is stored on your SD card).

If not, we need some more information...
However I guess it's not that useful too have all those older messages in whatsapp, because they are just filling the internal space and you can't easily access them (you would have to press "load older messages" again and again and whatsapp will become slower and slower ...).
A good possibility is to transfer the full whatsapp backup to your PC and use a tool called "Whatsapp Extractor" to display all the conversations.

is there a way to restore iphone whatsapp backup/history to android htc one X?
Re: Whatsapp reader or restore old messages
WhatsApp automatically makes backups every 24 hours and stores them on the microSD memory card of your Android phone. To restore the deleted messages of WhatsApp, you will need to uninstall and reinstall WhatsApp. During the installation process, you will be prompted to restore the lost message history of WhatsApp. Choose restore your missing chats.
Today I woke up in the morning and saw that all my whatsapp messages were deleted, I did not perform any back or restore from any backup utility such as Titanium backup. I am on Android 4.3 on Samsung note 2.
I tried to uninstall whatsapp and re-install again, it asked for restoring messages from backup folder but only restored messages till date 30-Dec-2013, although message backup was present with latest backup of yesterday’s date i.e. 23-Feb-2014.
Please let me know how can I restore all the messages and resolve this issue.

Have you tried whatsapp migrator tool?
:good:
Try this way
Have you tried to restore by WhatsApp. If you have done a backup, messages, chats can be easily restored. If not, try Android Data Recovery on RecoveryAndroid. I used it to get my lost Whatsapp messages back days ago.:highfive:

It's because you can't restore a system app (ie contacts, the phone app, messaging app etc) from ROM to ROM, if the ROM itself is different to the last one you made the backup on. So the end result of what you'll have to do is sync your contacts to your google account. Then when you sign in to your google account on the new ROM, your contacts will sync to the new ROM. At least that's how I do it.
As far as getting your contacts back, if you had a nandroid backup of your system before flashing CM, just restore that and sync your contacts to your gmail account. Go back to your CM nandroid (assuming you have one, if not make one before starting this process) and sync your contacts down from your google account.
If you didn't make a nandroid of your stock setup before flashing CM, then re-flash the stock ROM you were on previously using Odin or Mobile Odin. Now you should be able to restore the Titanium backup of your contacts app (yes, the app itself) successfully onto the stock ROM. From this restored app, sync your contacts. Then go back to CM and sign in, voile, contacts have synced.

so there is no way to get that contacts without getting back on previous rom, restore from titanium, sync them on google acc and then flash it on CM??

Nope. As Hopper said, restoring via Ti restores the app itself (plus the data obviously) and that won't work from Android version to Android version (or framework to framework - I.E TouchWiz to AOSP & VV). His suggestion should take all of 15 minutes.
tnx for your tips

How to backup stock "Messaging" app?

Hello all,
I want to format my phone and install a new ROM. So I backup the apps I use with Titanium Backup. But how can I backup the stock messaging app on stock ROM? I've tried to backup the app itself (it's a system app) with Titanium Backup but it didn't work... My previous messages didn't show. How can I backup my messages?
Thanks in advance.
to backup the messaging app , go to TB and search messaging and then make a backup. if you want to backup your messages, search messages and there is an option to backup " messages (sms & mms) " press this and press backup. one thing to keep in mind is that it will ask you to change the default messaging app when you restore "messages" and you must accept it so as to restore all your messages. when done, it should tell you to change back the messaging app to stock , if not , go to settings -> more -> default messaging app
Install the backup & restore app from Z3, Z3+ or Z5; you can backup your messages, call log and more! obviosuly this needs root. A backup file can be created on the microSD card, internal or even an external USB stick via USB OTG and the Z3+ and Z5 allow you to backup "in the cloud", all you have to do is sign with your google account.
You can install app from Google Play Store: "SMS Backup & Restore"
