[Q] Restore SMS/MMS/CallLog From Titanium

Hi.
Anyone care to explain what to restore in Titanium Backup regarding sms,mms and callog. I am well aware the impossibility restoring ext4 files in ext3 rom. I allways restore apps, but not system data as the only thing needed is the sms/mms and callog.
Thanks in advance

Did you try:
Menu 'Plus' > Extract from nandroid backup, selecting data only and then you choose sms, call app...?

It works only with the purchased version....not on free version of Titanium
Yes forgot that....
I think it's the same with AppExtractor...
Will try that, I pay all apps I use. Thanks

[Q] Migrate call log & sms into ROM 4.2.1 Nightlies build

dear all,
since Cyanogenmod 10.1 ported 4.2.1 to our Note [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2046592], believe many have used it, I tried on mine but cannot migrate call log and sms to the install rom
I tried Titanium Backup and MyBackup but after restore data Contacts app FC when open call log or dialer and partly sms showed in Message, never happened with previous rom
so if anyone managed to migrate call log and sms into CM10.1 please help to share how you did that
thanks a lot in advance
It's clearly stated in the op of that rom that not to retore any data from titanium backup. So there is no way to restore the call logs. For SMS you could use an app from play store called "SMS backup and restore"
This has always worked for me. But try at your no risk.
Make a Nandroid backup of the old Rom. Then when on the new Rom, use TB option extract from Nandroid backup and choose the call log option
thanks a lot for your sharing I will try when back home

nandroid backup in clockworkmod does a complete backup, yet if you want to use backup to restore in other rom then you need titanium backup (or something alike); messages and call list i do with sms backup+

Nandroid backup is the best way to do it through CWM!

yet it is just a safety backup so u can't use it in another custom rom (wich is probably the reason to do the backup)
there are a few options to extract items out of a nandroid backup tough, but i consider it a hassle

U can use Nandroid backup. For this you have to be root and CWM installed. There is plenty of intructions on how you can do that in the forum.

[Q] Restore Contacts and SMS from old Nandroid Backup.

I went to stock Eclair(from GDx) and I wanted to restore my Contacts and SMS from Nandroid Backup. I tried to do it with AppExtractor but it had NO effect. So I loaded the "mmssms.db" and "telephony.db" from the Backup and put it in the correct directory with correct permissions. After rebooting I had CONSTANT Phone, Messages, Acore(Home) FC and I couldn't do Anything!
Suggestions?

Titanium Backup restore

Hi all. I just flushed the new Revolution HD rom to get 4.3 but having problems to restore my backups from Titanium. I read a lot about Titanium so decided to backup my stuff with it to restore later but now when I try to restore my contacts I get the "com.android.phone has stopped". I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Do i need to restore data only or app + data? I seem to have trouble with SMS restore as well. Any other way I can use the Titanium files to restore my contacts? Thanks for the help.
Have you backupped also the system apps with titanium and no you want to restore all?
If yes is this the problem.
You have to backup only the data or the apps that aren't in system folder

Well my initial backup I just did a batch backup of everything on the phone so yea I have system and data. Now what I'm trying to do is get my contacts from the backup. I just tried to import the data (green) of my contacts in Titanium but it didn't work. Then I re-flushed and tried to restore SMS (green) from Titanium that didn't work either (sms icon disappeared from the phone).
Now I keep reading that it's not good to use Titanium to restore system apps (sms, contacts) but is there another way to use the data saved with Titanium to restore? I just want my contacts and sms to be back. Thanks.

Your previous rom before the ARHD 4.3 was?
However, i don't know how to restore only the contacts and the sms.
Because, for backupping this, i'm using the contatcs app and the same for the sms.
So, i'm sure i have a backup of this!
For contacs, see if you've this in your google account

Ah man that sucks for me cuz I don't sync contacts with google either. I was really hoping TB will do it all for me. My previous rom was ARHD but older version with 4.2.2.
Titanium sucks, as does their support. Had same issues as you and they would not assist me at all. Good thing I had another backup using Helium.
