I use MyBackup Pro to backup my sms ..and some not so important apps that I rather restore than install them again. But I noticed that I can not restore SMS when I backing up SMS from CM10.2 and then flashing CM11 rom or any other kitkat roms. The hangout app or if I install the aosp stock sms app remains empty with no restored text messages
I can not make a backup with a kitkat rom and get it to restore. The app says successfull but the texting app remains empty..
Hmm how do I solve this? I have never gotten Titanium to work to restore text messages either but that was way back with my HTC Desire..
Any alternative apps that works if MyBackup Pro does not do the trick?

dude ...this was a long time ago before developers added kitkat support. Just download the latest version :good:
They might not have updated it to support KK yet (edit: they just updated the app yesterday to v4.0.9 for better KK support - try to update the app and retry). The system needs to switch to the restore app as the main Messaging app during restore and then switch back. Titanium Backup does support this. I've used it dozens of times for this purpose on stock and CM11 based roms.

You will have to do it manually,open titanium backup from top click "Backup/Restore" and then find what ever app or system app or contacts you want to restore,click it and restore ONLY data! And youre good to go

Hello,
these items are displayed in green in "Backup/Restore" list (Titanium Backup), all beginning with "[". Or, you can restore all the green items (data only).
A reboot is needed after the restore (data only)
Call history restore doesnt work on ICS.
The rest - just restore app data for mms and contacts app.

Ah, didn't tried on ICS yet.
I found problems restoring SMS from GB to ICS with TB (Force close of SMS application).. Either with [--vk--] and Resurrection roms, solved using MyBackup Root (but I don't like it..)
I am currently on CheckRom 6 and i want to update to an CM9 or AOKP based Rom. So which part of my backups (Titanium Backup &CMW) can be restored after the update? Nothing? Just apps? Apps & app data? SMS/MMS?
I read that there are Problems with CM9 and Titanium Backup. Does this also apply to AOKP?

You will get all your apps and data, but sms and contacts can somtimes fail restore as there are thr diffrences between diffrent roms.
Also for the CWM i am guessing that you mean nandroid backup, if so you will get all of you that. Check out my sig for a link to moving roms and backing up data.
Thanks. Yes, i meant a nandoid backup but i wanted to restore only the sms/mms via app extractor. But it is not a big deal if it does not work, sms are not that important.
For people who are interested:
My experiences for updating from CheckRom 6 to Resurrection Remix 1.8.1:
-restoring user apps with titanium backup: worked fine, no problems
-restoring sms/mms with SMS Backup & Restore (from Google Play): FC when opening sms app for the first time. Tried Go SMS and it worked fine, all old messages were there. Tried stock app a second time: works too, no more FCs.
Hi. Thing is that I've been using MIUI for a long time now but I wanna use regular Android now and I've like 7K SMS'es that I wanna bring with me. I've tried a whole bunch of SMS backup tools but they all seems to import the messages in a wrong order even though the dates are right. Extracting the messages from a Nandroid doesn't work because MIUI uses a different sms database format or something.
So I'm just wondering if anybody can help me with this or have any experience.
Thanks
How about using thirdparty sms backup app from market to backup the sms on miui rom that u use, then after u flash another rom just use the same app to restore the sms. Its not that hard to figure that out.
Anyway "sms backup and restore" by ritesh sahu never failed me, on stock, miui, or cm.

Titanium backup has an option to backup and restore messages in XML format. Give that a try. I usually use SMS backup and restore by Ritesh Sahu.

Sorry if I wasn't clear enough but that's exactly what I've been trying. SMS Backup & Restore, MyBackup+ and other apps I forgot the names of.

Ah, Titanium Backup... I've yet to give that a go, thanks.
I would like to know if someone has installed the latest OMNI 4.4.2 rom for SG2 (2013-12-17) and could restore a WhatsApp backup from SD card without issues.
Thanks in advance,
Roberto.
I'm running Omni latest on S2.
What do you exactly mean by restoring Whatsapp from SD?
Do you mean the app or the messages?
Also how are you trying to restore, by TiBu?
I had tried to restore my sms and whatsapp messages from a previous JB rom on to Omni and TiBu restored only some of the messages and a lot of them were missing.
What kind of issues are you having?

I haven't flash the latest Omni rom yet and I wanted to know if others were able to restore the WhatsApp message history from an SD card. I don't mind not having all messages, just the last few days would be fine. Anyway, I just wanted to know the experience of others regarding restoring a WhatsApp message history from Jelly Bean (4.1.2) into this new rom.
Much appreciated!

I restored whats'app after migrating ICS stock rom --> CM 10.1 from a save made with Titanium Backup. There was no problem, and whatsapp even not asked me about activating my account.
in 2012, I used the autosave feature of whatsapp to restore message history after a nasty and unexpected factory reset on LG P970 : this worked well too ( but I had to reactivate my account )
To be sure to get your messages back : before flashing :
- perform a save of whatsapp with Titanium backup.
- perform an immediate message history save from within whatsapp menu.
after rebooting with new rom : restore app+data from Titanium backup. If this not work, clean whatsapp data from application menu, start whatsapp and choose to restore from backup.
Hey.
I have one problem with backing up and restoring messages.
Yesterday I installed CM11 ([ROM][UB][4.4.4][W25-S3][XperiaSTE Team] CyanogenMod 11.0), before that I was using stock firware 6.1.1.B.1.100.
I backed up my messages using SMS Backup & Restore, installed CM11 and restored using that app. It does restore messages, although when I open message app it says 'Loading conversations'.
I waited for over 10 minutes and nothing. I have around 11k messages and when I did restore on stock it loaded with no problem within 1 minute.
What's the problem?
Next time use titanium backup or nandroid manager.

So that means that the problem is in the app? Or would it say 'Loading Conversations' anyway?
Edit: tried to restore around 5k messages and it loaded in a minute.
Surely the problem is in the CM rom...
BTW Titanium uses. xml and Nandroid restores directly from the nandroid backup.

Thanks for the info
If anyone else is facing this problem - reduce your number of messages (worked for me - instead 11k I restored 6k) :good:

It will take a while to load the messages (all 11k of them) but after that you are good to go.
