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?
I had several Go apps installed. Not sure what could cause not pictures to come thru eith sms from family. It worked before the GO apps were installed.
Had to factory reset to get it back working.

I'm trying out the stock rom on my s2 but Titanium doesn't seem to restore sms properly to it like it does going to other custom roms. I can see the conversations and last text in convo view but I click on the conversation and its blank. Even after reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik etc.
Any advice? Thanks in advance!

Look in the Play Store for an app called SMS Backup & Restore (by Ritesh Sahu). Works perfectly every time. You may have already lost your previous text messages, but going forward when using this app you won't have any more problems.
Thanks, I'm going to try it. I'm back on my nandroid so its not too late

Hey all,
I've been having major issues receiving any MMS messages throu GO SMS Pro. I have no idea why this is happening. My device is rooted using InsertCoin 1.1.3 and stock kernal. I have no idea where my stock MMS app went because I wanted to go back to that app since the GO SMS MMS feature is not working. Any ideas on how to get MMS working or how to get the stock messaging app back? Many thanks!
Just reflash the rom zip and all system apps will be restored.
Should I wipe before reflashing

No need. Wiping is just to eliminate conflicts between different ROMs. There will be no conflict if you are not changing.

(Q) I recently installed one of the International roms (CarHD) on my phone and now have lost the ability to text message. I restored the system app from a previous nandroid that had worked and this did not solve the problem. Anybody have any idea what dependencies or permissions I may need to enable in order to get my text messaging back? Thanks
Edit: solved
