Hi,
I've made a back up with Titanium Backup before flashing my phone, from Handcent SMS and phone messaging. I can see the database of my messages on the back up files in Handcent SMS and all of my messages on there, but after flashing and recovering them. they didn't back anyone can help me with that?
On the other hand my Contacts backed to the phone. just the texts messages.
Thanks
Not sure if handcent has a backup feature but as far as I know titanium doesn't back up sms. I switched to gosms because you can backup and restore sms in the gosms program.

Are you sure about that?
Because I have the database and I can see the SMS's in the db but couldn't restore them.
Not 100% sure but I've backed up using tibu numerous times and never had it restore messages. try gosms you can backup from here on out

Thanks will try that for next time!
Any other suggestions guys? as need some of the text messages!
you could also use sms backup + from the market and it will backup all of your messages to Gmail and still use Handcent. Just another suggestion.

Running CM6RC2. Need to backup or even better, print sms messages. SMS Backup Apk is not working...Keeps force closing. Please help? I unistalled and reinstalled. Nothing works. Is there another app? Thanks
Worst case..is there a way to get the file where texts are stored and reinstall on a different ROM?
titanium backup should be able to backup your SMS messages
good point..thanks forgot about that. It's been awhile since I had Modaco Desire ROM.
or simply use sms backup(free) in the market it back ups all your sms that have been sent to sdcard

There is a very good app named 'SMS Backup & Restore' in the Market for free. It backups and restores your messages. I just used it yesterday.

Titanium Backup can backup both, bookmarks and SMS.
Look at attached pics to see where TiBu backups SMS and bookmarks.
I use Mybackup pro and it works like a dream. Tried many different ones and personally I like this 1 the most.

I can absolutely confirm that Titanium Backup saves and restores SMS and bookmarks. During the holiday break the past 2 weeks, I've been (finally!) getting some time to try flashing different ROMs and trying some out.
TB worked just fine restoring SMS and bookmarks without any problem.

Before flashing Firefly I did TIBU using apps+data (full).
After flashing i copied Titanium folder back onto phone and then through restore saw the same things in your pic.
However when I try to explore the items it says there's nothing in there.
Ok, not sure what I did but my sms are back.
I did do a reboot but it still didnt' show up. Just went back into Handscent SMS and now it's showing my old texts.
Ah well, guess it did work.
Okay so how do i backup my texts, change ROM and then restore?
Iv tried mybackup pro and SMS backup by riteshsahu
Both of them give same result:-
backup, no errors
install new ROM
restore
messages just give blank screen
Any help would be appreciated thanks

still get the same problem, cant even restore them after i revert back to old rom..
I've used SMS backup + to do this a few times. But it syncs SMS to gmail so you'll need a gmail account.

Yes, it's possible to restore them from gmail. I've done it a few times. It will also do the call log if you want. I suggest you play with the settings a bit though before starting the backup. I normally add the sender's number to what's backed up (default is just name).
Thanks a lot
I was on froyo 2.2.1 and upgraded to MIUI RC2/
I backed it up with Titanium, but it seem not to work on MIUI.
the SMS & Calls log programs crashes when I try to open them (after an attempt to restore through Titanium).
Is there a way I can import sms and logs from froyo to miui?
Thanks

I am not familiar with MIUI but for the SMS back up you could use an app that backs those up and works with MIUI?
unfortunately from what you are sayingit sounds like you'd have to flash back to something that does work with titanium and then reflash? but that should work not sure about the logs though? think there are apps that back this stuff up to gmail? then restore from gmail?
probably more long winded than you wanted? have you tried simply restoring system data from titanium?
Simply use SMS Backup+ free from the market to backup to your Gmail account then import when you have done the firmware mod. Simples.

Thats exactly what I was trying to do.
Thanks for the advised. I'll try the app.
You can use
SMSBackup and Restore
Log backup n restore.
Both these gems are by Ritesh Sahu. The BEST one as yet.
Hope it helps !
You can also use "MyBackup free" from the market.
It can save and restore all you PIM including call logs.
I always backed up the settings.
After I installed cyanogenmod I restored all my apps using Titanium backup manager.
When I open Go SMS Pro it does not show any of my messages. I tried restoring from previous back ups.
Please help Thanks

If you have Titanium Backup Pro....think you can extract from the Nand backup...I would suggest you to try MyPhone Explorer where you can backup your apps, messages and contacts+files to the computer easily via wi-fi, USB, BT as well.
Hope this helps.

I have tried extracting from nandroid and still not appearing.
I had saved a message in private box and it is there but the other messages are not.

This feature is only with TB Pro and not in the free version.... u have that?
I know I have the pro version and have restored the app from it and it's still not there.
I think I backed up settings and not the actual messages.
I thought titanium backup would restore it though

Did u do the batch restore?with apps+user data?how was it?
yes it did not work. On the stock rom there was a app that backed up I think messages, contacts, calander etc. Do you know what it was? Maybe I could use that to get them back?

I am not sure if I used it.I agree there was something which used the battery and drained it fast....think the devs removed it as we can use the TB for almost all things....
My sim contacts don't show up in cm also.
Titanium doesn't save sms, at least for Go, I've never had them restored except for private box. The only way is to save them from within Go. Try Appextractor that can retrieve sms from nandroid.

Open the Contacts and I remember there is something to be selected, to show the SIM+Phone contacts....if not, only the phone contacts are only shown. Check the CM thread...you will get some answer there....
BTW perhaps Go just read sms in stock sms app that's why they are not saved by titanium. Try to restore stock sms app's data.
If you backed up the sms you will find them in GOSMS/backup just take the latest backup and paste it into /sdcard/GOSMS/backup/SmsRestore and then from GO SMS app restore the msges.
Hello!
For backup of your SMS, calendar and contacts use MyPhoneExplorer – as already stated - it is free and will backup those including all SMS.
Titanium backup is good for your apps – but since you contact/sms/calendar app has changed it with the update to CM7 – Titanium won’t help you cause it only restores data for specific apps – and if they aren’t there it doesn’t restore the data for them.
As for the contacts from SIM - did you do import from SIM?

Yes I have and it says "No contacts on your SIM card." I have tried my sim card in another phone and there is contacts.
I have tried AppExtractor and it restored contacts!! They still not showing from sim though
Hello!
I don't use contacts from SIM since my old Nokia 3210-days - so I don't know any other methods...sorry...
You could try to bluetooth the contact using your other phone - if it is able to or try to export some other format (i.e. vcal).
I used Thunderbird with plugin for vcal to import my old contacts from my SE P1i.
Me too, I use only google sync.
Ok. Thank you for all your help.
I have got them back using AppExtractor. On the stock rom contacts there was a option to import facebook contacts. Is it possible in cm?
Hello!
I don't use facebook - so I will guess...
I am pretty sure it should be automatic if set it up in...
setting > accounts & sync
...if you have installed the facebook app - that is - of course...
When you set it up to sync with calendar/contacts it should do so automatically - at least this is the way it does with my MS Exchange and WhatsApp account.
