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.

Hi, i was used to using MyBackupPro and later TitaniumBackup for SMS backup on my previous android phone.
Now i have tried MybackupPro, TitaniumBackup, SMS Backup+ and all 3 does not work on Optimus!!!
When i open message app after restore it simply stays black with SMS backup and MyBackuPro, it owers my force close or w8, i have w8ed a long time it stays black..
With Titanium backup it opens normaly and even shows the number of messages per thread, but when i open it is empy, but i gues this is not working couse of restoring SMSes from 2.2.1 app to 2.2app on Optimus.
Could it be an issue with 3000SMSes at once backed up? But it worked for me on Milestone...
What else can i try OMG.
I hate google doesnt provide claud backup for SMS, same as it does for contacs/calendar/..
Edit:
Lol it worked a minute after i posted this thread. Lol it took almost an hour of black screen for app to start, now works perfectly! SMS Backup+ works perfect, does what google should do himself, i can read SMS in Gmail now
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
I've always been a HTC man but made the switch to GS3, now i'm wondering if I should have stuck with my EVO line.
My issues. rooted w/ stock, used TB to restore my apps/data. and removed some of the bloate where. I rebooted the phone and then started to get "The process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly" so I restored to factory, and restored my apps/data and haven't tried removing the bloatware yet.
Widget issue
Since I did this I see my stock calendar widget is missing/my calendar doesn't sync all the time.
Email issue
My email using the stock email app works when it wants to and other times it tells me it couldn't verify my username or password, couple mins without touching it, here comes my mail.
the other issue with this is the mail icon will say 12 emails, I delete 10 emails, click refresh to see if there's more emails and there's none but yet my email icon will say 12 in red.
Is there away to delete everything in the trash? I couldn't find any settings. with the EVO I could just do a select all, When I click on the select it only selects "Today" email in the trash not ALL emails in the trash.
Text Message
With my previous text message, if I select to send attachment it will give me the option to my dropbox, I don't see my dropbox in the stock text, I tried Go SMS pro and handcent smss, but didn't see that option in those, so i'm not sure if this is something that the SMS message app look for or if it's something I have to manually set, but was automatically done w/ the evo.
I installed Free sonic and that brought the calendar widget back. My other issues still stands and now I know when there's a text message it shows for example 2 for unread text, but when I check the text message. everything is read or deleted.
did you restore the system apps? because you are not supposed to do that, just do the missing apps/data.
I knew not to restore system apps since my TB came from my EVO. I only restored apps/data that I knew would be fine.
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 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.
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.
