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.

Yup, no problem. But don't restore system apps, only data.
It should all go well, but if you encounter any issues, just download app from market and then restore data from titanium for the problem app
Just be careful while restoring app+data for some apps. For ex: Some users have reported that after flashing a new ROM, restoring app+data for Facebook has created problems. Solution is to restore only app.

I can confirm that with Facebook, some settings such as Sync All may not be as per applied as previous, on my HTC Desire HD, it used to replicate several contacts on top.
Guys I have this problem with Titanium Backup, when performing backup for "All user apps+system date" my phone restarts. I did it 4 times and same thing happens. Theres no definite percentage when the phone restarts but the most far progress is around 40%. Please can someone help me with this.
@Tenggoy ... is USb debugging ticked... TB performs a lot better and more reliably when this is selected.
thanks

Make sure you have the latest version of Titanium Backup and enable USB debugging. Hope that helps.

Your problem is you are trying to restore the system data as well. Never do that, just click restore missing apps which will just restore user apps and not the system data.

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.
Hi everyone
First i'd like to say sorry for my english, because its not very good, but i hope we will understand each other
I installed my first custom ROM today, its a Jelly Blast from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33769086
I used an app called "SMS Backup & Restore" from google play to save my messages. This app saves msgs in a .xml format. After installing this ROM i restored all apps with "Titanium Backup", got into "SMS Backup.." and tried to restore my msgs. It was a long process, almost an hour of waiting (i have over 9000 messages), but everything seemed to be ok. After this i got into messaging and all i saw was "messaging not responding"...
I tried to download Go SMS, but the same thing happens.
I really need these messages, can i do something with it?

You can restore SMS through Titanium Backup, you don't need a separate app for it. I think you should go back to stock, use Titanium Backup to backup SMS, flash it again, download Titanium Backup,select the backup and then choose restore data only. That's how I did it with all the roms I have flashed , including Jelly Blast.

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.

try restoring the backup via titanium backup by selecting
batch restore->restore apps with data->deselect all-> find the app by name you want to restore data -> run the restore
and you should be back to your lost memos
i think that should help .
if not tell me about your phone firmware and build and the cm you are running

I've had some lost notes as well. My cwm backup file wasn't corrupted, but I still thought it was a lot of effort for a list/note or three to cwm restore twice. My conclusion was that it sadly was the only way to get them back. Restoring an app (through titanium) like notes will only work if you're on the same rom. So it should work on your s2 with a factory reset only. My guess is you should fix your titanium backup if it's not restoring properly.
I tried to look into the titanium backup files of my note app with no success but maybe you're better than me.
Its my battery problem it is spoiled sometime when I use camera phone restarts..
You gave the right solution Thank you for your time
cheers

you can maybe check the battery replacement options or maybe try a different rom as some of the rom have a bug that causes the phone to restart or go in a boot loop when any app is launched
also u can get your kernel settings checked cause they might not be compatible with the rom
battery replacement is recommended only if its run out of its recharge cycles
happy that i could be of help to you
hit thanks if i helped
