Restore SMS/Call history WITHOUT erasing existing one? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hej, i'd like to save & then restore sms/call history from a nandroid, however the apps/method i tested erase current one while restoring...
For SMS there's GoSMS Cloud that works, however limit is to 1000 and i've reached it. For call logs, no idea...
I need to send back the phone in few hour so hope someone can help me to find a solution quickly... Thanks!

Not sure if it has a limit, but have you tried Titanium Backup ?

It does erase current one. Please people, help, only got an hour left to save with the right app....

Does it have to be from a Nandroid ? If not then you can try My Backup Root.

I have one contact2.db file anf another xml from titanium, i want to merge them for restore.

Hey there!
It probably is possible to merge it, but I think this is an easier solution:
I use SMSBackup+, it's awesome! (PlayStore link.
Just backup your sms with it, they will get stored into a separate gmail label.
Now restore your old sms (overwrite the current ones) and restore the other ones from SMSBackup+.
Did work like a charm for me in the past.

Thanks, gonna try!

[Q] Restoring Txt msgs to Vanilla AOSP

Wondering if anyone can help me out... I backed up my text messages with Ti Pro like I have done many times before ( Back up [SMS/MMS/APN]). I usually don't have any trouble restoring my text messages by simply restoring from TI Pro and rebooting. However, This is my first install of Vanilla AOSP VooDoo and when I restore/reboot the messages are cleared, but not restored. Any ideas? Do I need to move the database to a different location? Thanks in advance for the help!
P.S. I'm coming from DJ05 to Vanilla AOSP
I've never trusted TiBu with my SMS or call logs, so I wouldn't know. BUT, you can try reverting back to the ROM you were just on, restoring, then using an app called "SMS Backup & Restore", free on the market. It will backup SMS to an XML file on your SD Card. Then flash back to AOSP and use the same app to restore from file.
Maybe not the answer you were looking for but it's a solid work-around.

No other ideas then? It would be interesting to know what went wrong since it will probably apply to cm7 and minuit and the like

If the messages were backed up from the touchwiz mms app, then that's the only app that they are going to restore to.

[Q] Application for Syncing SMSes with GMail.

I'd like to know if there are any efficient and dependable apps for Syncing (Both Backup And Restore) SMSes with GMail.
I tried SMS Backup+; it does backup all the SMSes to GMail pretty well, but when it comes to restoring it - does not restore all the SMSes.
I tried many other apps as well... All of 'em seem to have a problem with restoring the SMSes.
So, I'd like y'all to suggest some good apps that serves my purpose.
Thank You.
Try ' backup to gmail' works perfectly..

Alternatively, you could just sync them to your Google account.

What app are you using to backup and restore your SMS'?
I can strongly recommend "SMS Backup+"... also I'd recommend to ditch the default SMS program and go with e.g. Go SMS Pro

You give it less than 24 hours from original post and decide to slag off at the XDA community? YOu know we aren't your personal paid techs right?
Any recognition it's the weekend AND getting into holiday season for most people?
And I don't see your screenshot either...

How do I restore texts and apps after flash?

I know this is a newb question,
I backed up using TWRP and flashed Rootbox. This is my first time rooting, unlocking, and flashing a new ROM.
Everything went very swimmingly and I'd like to thank everyone for putting up very simple guides and everyone who made this possible.
I just have a few questions. How do you guys restore your old texts and call logs and apps and whatnot after you flash a new ROM?
I updated everything I could from my google account and got some of my contacts, but I'm missing a bunch.
Thanks!
Edit: Oh ****, my apps are here! Just looking for text and call logs!
Unless you backed up your texts and call log using a third party app such as Titanium Backup or Carbon, they are gone. Most likely your apps where redownloaded through the playstore using googles backup/restore feature.

Seconded. I've been using Carbon to save and restore my messages and call logs without issue.
