I did a reset and root of my S9 in the fall, and then I thought the SMS backup from Titanium Backup gone. But today I actually managed to find it, hiding in another directory on the SD card, and I have no idea how I managed. But can I get back those messages in my system in any way? If I do a restore with Titanium Backup I will overwrite the messages that are already there, as far as I know there is no "append" function. Does anybody know about a way to fix this? Editing the XML is close to impossible, it has far too much stuff that needs to be changed.

So I rooted my phone today, got Titanium Backup and Root Manager. Before I started mass uninstalling the bloatware, I tested it first. I made a backup of Airhorn, then went into the system files and deleted the .apk. Then I restored it in Titanium Backup and viola, it's back. So i tried one of the bloatware programs, The Sims 3. I backed it up, then deleted the .apk in the datatmo/games/ea folder. I try to restore, and it says restore data only, Airhorn I could restore App+Data. Now the Sims 3 icon is still there, but gives me this error: There is a problem parsing the package.
So I can't restore it, and the icon is still there. Can i get the .apk file back and have a way to back it up so I can restore it in the case that I need to install it again? Or did I screw up?
Anyone? Please?
Hmmm well I do have both apks Sims 3 requires to run but would it be considered pirating if I posted a link? I'm fairly certain other phones would be able to run it.
Well I got the .apk, but now i have two shortcuts to the game and they both work, now I dunno what files to backup so i can delete them and back them up, whats the name of the two files?
Sims3_Samsung_Embed_Launcher.apk and The_Sims_3.apk
Thanks, all good now
Good greef same problem here. Someone please help me get the Sims back please.
what is the fix for this issue? I have the same problem.. too...
I recently got App2sd and noticed it doesn't save them to the ext-sd/sdcard2 just to sdcard ... is there a way to do this or does everyone just use Titanium Back Up pretty much
edit: I also hear that it isn't good to use TBU restore when flashing a new rom ... can a dev enlighten me if you have some time or someone who knows about this.
Thanks!
DOUBLE EDIT:
What do you use to backup/restore YOUR vigor?
I use titanium backup. I back up all apps and use it to restore apps only first, then only restore data on key apps like list mgr pro, acar, and my games. The main concern with restoring backups is to not do a batch backup and to never restore data on a system app, because the code can change from build to build.
what do y'all use to backup pictures and some messages.. or do you just manually move them to ext-sd with a root explorer or similar thing...
sorry trying to figure out the best way to do all this back up stuff
As far as messages I have SMS Backup + because it does a backup to your gmail account, then I just dump my pictures into "box" which has a special going on for 50 gigs of cloud storage for life just for signing up (only until 03/26/12).

I could be wrong but i believe there used to be a a2sd script you could flash from recovery to move dalvik to the sd card partition. Has that been abandoned?
Hello this seems to be such a great feature if it could be implemented.
I know how to backup sms'es and restore them. There are many programs which does this and now also titanium can do it (nice!)
However it would be perfect if a app was able to backup all sms'es in threads older than fx 500, and then delete from phone to clear up some space.
In that way you always have one big XML file with all backupped sms (should be no problem to open in a computer, even with many thousands messages), and these messages would also all be deleted from the phone and no duplicates in phone and backup would appear.
Thanks!

I have recently found the way to have root on the secondary user in my N7, which means that now I can use TiBu with only one problem... when I restore the Data of an App, I think TiBu it's not sending it to data/user/10 (the data folder of the second user)...
Is there a way I can change it?
I was on a build of CM12, but it started bugging out on me and then when I tried restarting my phone it was stuck on a boot loop, so I created a nandroid, then resorted an old back up. Does anyone know where the text messages are stored? I have important messages that I need to restore and make sure I don't lose.
Are the directories for text messages on stock different than cm12?
I'm afraid I can't answer your question, but the only way I've been able to restore text messages is to have backed them up with Titanium first. Titanium does have the option to extract data and restore from a nandroid, but I've never tried to restore SMS that way.
Perhaps this app could be of use: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...mNvbS5yaXRlc2hzYWh1LlNNU0JhY2t1cFJlc3RvcmUiXQ..
