Whenever I backup my texts and restore them after flashing a new ROM, I seem to have an issue where my texts aren't restored in the order that I received them. This makes things troublesome as they are no longer in conversation form. Is there anyway to fix this issue? Thanks.

I'm on CM6 right now, and am planning on switching to AOSP 0.9.9.2. My problem is, I cannot get a working backup/restore from CM6 to AOSP, which should use the same MMS.apk. Aside from the manual backup of the .db files and restoring of them, is there a good app for this?
I've tried the free titanium backup, but it did not seem to attempt to backup/restore these at all?
I've tried 'backup everything' that almost works, but the restore seems to corrupt the db.
I've tried sms backup/restore, which doesn't do mms, but did the smss perfectly.
I'm more than happy to pay for something if it has at least 1 credible 'vouch'.
s0be haven't seen you on here in a while
I've had some luck with Message Sync when it comes to restoring MMS. I've never tried to do a backup/restore when I have a large number of sms/mms's though.
Hope this helps
Hi guys
I recently flashed "update-cm-7.2.0-RC1-umts_sholes-KANG-signed" with the google apps "gapps-gb-20111216-signed" and i followed all the steps from here http://www.mrmuh.com/2012/01/update...torola-firmware-to-cyanogenmod-7/#comment-791.
However i ran into a few bugs,
1. titanuum backup didnt restore all of my apps, it kept freezing while going through some apps soo i had to close it and reboot, a few times of that and like 15 of my apps dissappeared from the list.
2. how do i restore my messages, i did the titanium backup and nandroid stuff but i still can find a way to restore my messages? CAN you help me?
i
1. Use mybackuproot next time. Has never failed me to save and restore APK's and Data, as long as its the same (ie, less reliable if you switch from Froyo->GB or GB to ICS but GB to GB is perfect).
2. Might be too late, I'm not sure if Titanium Backup does save txts but if it does (and you checked the box or whatever to back up txts) i hope someone else can help you. I use GoSMS's backup feature. I find it's even handy to have even when you still prefer the stock sms app due to the fact that it can do both manual and automated back up. It'll even send the file to your gmail for you periodically.

This app is also great for backing up and then restoring SMS. It neatly backs up your txts to a separate SMS folder on your gmail account, automatically. Very minimal impact on battery (of course, if you set it to backup immediately every time or frequently this changes, 12-24 hour periods seems fair to me)
Hey all, Ive tried several SMS backup apps such as SMSBackup+ and SMS backup and restore, but both of them restore text messages incorrectly. They restore all my sent messages with the correct times, but all the incoming texts with messed up times.
I have a bit of OCD and I need my texts to be restored in the correct order, so does anyone have a fix for this?
Thanks
Hi All
Its me again, I seem to have a problem with my messages, I had an issue yesterday which is now fixed, but however during that process i lost three days worth of messages,
The process involved me using titanium backup to restore all system files.
just wondering if anyone knew if there is a way i could possibly get these back?
Steve
The only way to get it is by contact your service provider if you don't ever use any sms backup app.
Hi guys,
I am trying to restore my texts from my N5 to N6 and they restore fine but the timestamp for the received texts are all wrong, hence texts all over the place.
I have tried everything I know to fix this but nothing works, I have even tried to backup texts I received today and enabled the timezone options in the menu from the SMS Backup & Restore app but still does not work. It is reading today's received texts as yesterday. My sent texts are fine.
Anyone else had an issue like this?
Thanks

I would try the Go SMS app to backup and restore your texts. I did this a while back on a different phone, and recall the phone apply a "time fix" after restoring the messages to make sure the times were correct. You can install Go SMS on your N5, do a backup, put the backup file on google drive, Dropbox, etc. Install Go SMS on N6, download the backup file, and restore it in the Go SMS app. Once restored, proceed to use any messaging app you like, and uninstall Go SMS.
OK. Will try that on Monday as a friend is borrowing my N5 this weekend
Navigate to /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases where you'll find mmssms.db. Copy this over from your old phone to your new in in the same location and fix permissions so that both the owner and group have read/write permissions.
I've been using this method since Gingerbread and it's worked on every version of android since then.
You can also take telephony.db to transfer your call logs and blacklist.db for any blacklisted numbers.
Hope this helps.
You could always use titanium backup. Works for me
