I'm pretty keen to update to one of the newer ROMs (I'm using one of Dutty's from way back in March or so)
The problem is that I need to keep my SMS (and ideally my MMS) which are threaded. As I understand it PIM Backup 2.8 doesn't do threaded SMS and MMS - is there an alternative somebody can suggest?

It works fine for me, I have used pim 2.8 with threaded sms/mms for a long time, and have no problems with it

I had no problem with PIM 2.8 and backup of SMS messages and textual part of MMS messages, from Threaded SMS app, but I have lost the pictures and sounds from MMS messages.

This question should have been posted in the kaiser general forum not the rom development forum. I know that you probably posted it here because it gets the most attention, but believe me when i tell you that most of the people who have the answers check the software and general forum as well. Having a lot of threads like this posted here just clutters this forum and makes it more difficult to keep up to date on the roms that are being developed. In addition, it is XDA policy to post in the relevant thread, and in the correct forum.
To answer your question hoever, I use pimbackup and i haven't had any troubles with it not restoring my attachments to mms messages.

I first purchased my tilt on nov. 28 and on jan. 11 it would not sync to my pc. To make a long story short ATT sent me a new Tilt. When I recieved the new phone I simply installed wm6 threadded app for higher aku version phones. No messing with hidded files, just a simple .cab install and it works fine. Hooray
did get the mms part of the palm app to work? i've been using this palm threaded app since i got my kaiser last october, and sms threading works fine, easy cab install. just that mms gets an out of memory error.

Hi:
Like the second poster, I'd like to know if MMS is working.
Also, would you please post which cab you used, since there are several floating around?
Thanks so much!
I have MMS plus threaded SMS working on a stock ATT Tilt ROM.

Get this:

Then do this:

Your MMS will be with your email accounts. Be sure to choose "Cingular" as the default for the MMS once you get it setup. To do that, just go to MMS > Options > Servers > and choose ATT MMS.

Hi Grizzley:
THANKS SO MUCH!
I had read through so many threads on the subject, that I was a bit overwhelmed, and was nervous to try it out.
Your instructions worked perfectly (at least so far, lol).
Thanks again!
I'm glad it worked. I have been using it for about 2 months and from what I can tell, I have had no problems.
this thread is a little misleading, this is a fix that has been covered way back in the begining, and grizzly pointed to the correct post for that. The reason most chef's used a certain arcsoft version in the cooked roms was so that we could have seperated mms and sms accounts in the default messaging section.
SO just to clarify for people, this is to use palm threaded app with Arcsoft MMS. THIS IS NOT to get the mms portion of the threaded app to work...

Very good point Shogun. I think, at least for me, all the other threads from a long time ago have so much conflicting information. I just wanted to be able to use threaded SMS, but not lose mms completely. There were so many posts made before this one, and yes I read all of them lol, but it just became overwhelming to figure out which cabs were the most recent, what devices were they tested on etc.
But, thanks to this new thread (and Grizzley's help) I was able to find an easy solution to have both threaded sms and mms working.
Thanks
By the way, I am using your threaded sms cab, THANKS for making it
Hi:
This solution is working very well for me. My only problem is that for some reason text in landscape mode is very small (I usually use large font).
Is there any way to set text in landscape mode to stay the same size as in portrait mode?
Thanks!
Sounds great! Can PPCPimBackup keep track of this program? Or is there any other program that can backup sms as fast and easy as PPCPimBackup?
I have the annoying problem of text messages from the future from a specific friend. Will this screw up my usual messaging? It would see that the phone would be smart enough to know a message from the future if one hour off.
Anyway. I'm drunk and posting. Weeee.
I did the WM6.1 upgrade and finally have (most) of my stuff back to normal.
I've got quite a lot of SMS on my Kaiser, which ideally I want to keep. I've recently upgraded to WM 6.1, from the official upgrade. I backed up all my text messages, and restored them with PIM Backup. With the new threaded text messages in 6.1 it doesn't seem to work correctly with the restored messages - in my inbox if I click on a message I get a thread with all my sent messages, but not the received ones. Any ideas?
Also does anyone know a way of copying text messages from an SE k800i to a WM phone?
Thanks
I back up all my SMS with Jeyo Mobile Companion 2.0
I'm sure there's likely a program like it out there, so I welcome suggestions.
My problem is this: after upgrading the ROM to WM6.1 on my Tilt, I restored my SMS, as I did the last update for WM6 was released.
However, while I love the threaded-sms feature, Jeyo restores my messages first in the Inbox, and then the Sent folder. So, when I open my conversations, I get my contact's SMS first, newest to oldest, and then all my replies, newest to oldest, which makes it all hard to follow.
It is not a problem with SMS sent after the back up.
Is there any software I can use so sort out the SMS so they're relevant in the threaded feature?
I'm so very sorry if this confused and/or frustrated any of you.
I'm a total n00b.
Any help will be very much appreciated. Thank you in advance.
I have the same problem with PIM Backup.. did you find a solution??
did you guys try advance config v3.3? Google it.
When you get it try turning off threaded sms, restore the messages, then turn threaded sms back on.
Hopes this helps
thx
It works thx
Im looking to change the rom on my HD and see a lot of comments about the sms bug in manilla 2.1.
Im using Orange and from what iv gathered the bug affects Orange (and a few others). What exactly IS the bug and is it worth avoiding manilla roms 2.1 because of it?
seems to be related to the interface of SMS Manila where when You wrote a message, time by time the text still pending in the outgoing folder, so the sms is not delivered.
To bypass this problem, is what I have to do, is to replay directly to the SMS default page, instead of Manila interface...
I'm not to be sure that is clear, I really hope so...
Yes there is a bug in the Manila SMS application itself. You can either make a change and use the Windows default SMS application, use a different ROM with the older Manila, or live with it
you can't send 2 messages in a row to the same person, don't know is it only from manila or generally :/
hmm, i think it is how you sync ur contacts after flashing the rom. if you use pimbackup u will get the sms problem. however, if u sync via activesync, it should be fine. thats how i worked around the problem. hope it helped :]
I never had this issue and used activesync to backup contacts/emails
i've done it via Activesync, MyPhone, PIM, all options, without restoring old texts, with restoring them (again MyPhone) and got it every single time :/

I always use activesync to backup my contacts and calendar with google's gmail and always working.
Strangely enough, it seems carrier-related as well...
there is a cab, i think is call timefix that one work for me when i got that problem
Hi, is there any latest ROM that doesn't mess up SMS threads?
Dutty's R7 with HTC messaging - u can't see the whole message if it's longer than 200 chars, same with Miri V12. Also tried Miri's V30 based on Manila 2.1 - and the problem there is even more ridiculous - in a thread messages are in wrong order, first goes all my replies and then the other persons txts.
I am using Jeyo Mobile Companion and PIM to restore messages and get the same results. Any proper ROM?
i think the problem lies in the backup program, they somehow restore them in the wrong way. I think it works via myphone (at least that what i heard).
The best solution is to not sync your messages, which i do .
I don't really understand why people have to put hundreds of old text messages back on their phone, they have read them right?
Anyhow, it is related to the backupprogram and manila not working correctly. Try using topix, in that rom there are no bugs at all (but it's a wm 6.1 rom)
Not really sure that this is the problem of the restoring programs as I tried different options. Tried also Laurentius V3 - again problem with messages that don't show in full and that lay over each other.
Anyone else having same problem? Or any advices on program that actually works?
I have the same issue with text messages being out of order on NRGZs Energy Photon ROM, the new 23081 build.
The issue is down to the date/time stamp on the messages. I had my messages going out having the same time but yesterday's date on them, hence the order being all wrong. I checked through all the regional settings etc to see whether all that was ok, but nothing was wrong.
It appears not to be doing it now, but I have cleared all my messages out and soft reset a few times since, so I cannot say what was causing the issue.
if you run manila2.1, whatever rom has this cab is ok
no, that doesn't work either...The usual problem: all my messages in the beginning, if I scroll up I find other persons messages and at the very top txts for today for both of us
other ideas? I don't get it really: what's the point in all the new cabs and functions if one of the two main functions - texting and calling - doesn't work properly?
sorry fr bumping such an old thread... but have been facing this issue with all the ROMs i've tried...it's highly irritating. i some times miss imp. smses
I'll test the fix cab and report soon...
In case someone has already found a working solution. please post it here.
B.U.M.P. guys.. anybody has a solution for this?? kindly help ..
topix for sure has no messed up sms's. dunno i tried lots of m2.1 roms and if sms were messed up i installed the attached cab and they worked
If you're using a backup/restore SMS program, you should disable Threaded messaging before backuping and before restoring.
I've noticed that backup/restore SMS programs have some problems with threaded messaging, but I have never encountered the messing issue since I disable Threaded messaging before both backuping and restoring.
