[Q] Restoring sms, mms, contacts while cooking ROM - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi!
I downloaded the latest Doc ROM and I wonder if there is a way to include in the zip file my sms, mms and contacts backuped with "My Backup Pro".
In data/app of the zipp file I add my favorite apk
I wonder if there is also a way to include my personal data in the zip file of the ROM.

[Q] Migration from iPhone to Galaxy S

Hello and respect to all XDA members
I have a question
What is (if it exists) the method through which one can transfer SMS and Contacts from an iPhone to a Samsung Galaxy S?
For contacts I used my google account ... but for SMS?
Thank you in advance!
If you want only your phone contacts to be transferred, you can try this:
1) Export all your contacts as vCard files
2) Connect the phone to your computer and mount the internal storage
3) Copy all the vCard files into the root of the mounted drive
4) Goto Contacts -> Menu -> Options -> Import/Export -> Import from SD Card
Worked flawlessly for me as I didn't want all my contacts on the cloud.
For SMS:
1. Copy your sms.db from your iPhone to your pc (this needs jailbreak and and an iphone explorer on your computer) - the file should be in /var/Mobile/Library/SMS
2. Upload the sms.db to this site -> http://faked.org/isms2droid/ it will convert the sms.db to an xml format android can read.
3. On Android, there's a free app named SMS Backup & Restore, where you can import the xml file.
I did that too and it worked flawlessly with 3000 messages that were 2.5 years old (I am too lazy to delete any messages...)
Great, thanks! I've been missing my old SMS Messages
XQC's post is great, however, it would be great if there's an arabic language support as the exported xml file gives (?) question marks on all arabic letters.

[Q] Couldn't create new folder for SMS after update

Hi guyz, recently I updated my rom version to 2.53.707.4... Before that I backup all my SMS and other stuffs using PPCPimBackupV2.8.. I had a folder called saved SMS in the previous version, so when I backup I saved all the massages in that folder too..
So after flashing I restore everything but when I got to massages through start and in the drop down menu I couldn't see the saved folder.. Previously we can juz go to all massages and view all the folders and even create a new folder but with the new rom I couldnt do so..
So is there any fix for it? Thanks in advance..

Rom CWM Flashing & Sizes

Hello, With titanium backup, I have deleted files that I dont use, like maps etc, but....can I unzip a ROM (wipe/no wipe versions) remove a few apps from system/apps and re-zip the rom, and flash via CWM? thus not having to delete files via TBackup?
Or do i need another program to do that???
Do I need to edit any text files/scripts?

deleted conversations.apk now can't send sms even after reflashing custom rom

I accidentally deleted the conversations.apk file
even after reinstalling romaur's rom, and getting the apk file back, I can't send sms!
do I need to reflash the stock rom again?
no just add (copy) this Conversation.apk to the system/app/
and restart the phone.
(You can use RootExplorer or any other alternative program)
and please next time be careful with system apps.
Regards
