I find whenever I do a restore my messages are restored and I have to use a SMS backup to restore them. Is that a AOSP/CM Nougat bug or ZCX TWRP

Made a full backup with TB after moving to Exynos 7.2 and now I'd like to restore just my Call log from my stock rom. Tried restoring "[CONTACTS/CALLS] Contacts Storage" but that wasn't it. Help??
AFAIK, Titanium won't restore your call log. You'll need another app to do that, like this...

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.
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.
Heys,
I recently installed CM11 nightly, and it works fine.
I can't for the life of me figure out how to get my contacts and SMS back, i have an adb and nandroid (twrp) backup.
What ive tried so far,
- Titanium backup to extract it from nandroid and adb packages. could not find provider.contacts db in both...
- Nandroid Manager to restore apps and data, still not there.
- Tried reverting to previous nandroid backup but i get stuck on boot screen., had to go back to CM backup.
where the hell are they stored?
is there any way to restore data from marshmallow backup into lollipop?
hoe there will be any way
need to get my contacts and messages
is it a twrp backup.if yes you will get your contacts and messages but you will face other applications giving force close because marshmallow and lollipop are very diffrent. There is a workaround but will need time. restore your backup then backup your contacts and messages then reflash lollipop.

You cant restore a marshmallow backup to a lollipop.
Yup, you can't restore it unless you update to the version where the backup was made and then backing it up using another method, titanium backup for instance..
