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

[Q] Is it possible to import SMS messages and calls log from Froyo to MIUI?

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.

[Q] Go SMS Pro

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.

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.

Transfer Call Log from MIUI to Androd one

Dear forum members, i have just purchased MiA2 and i already have Redmi 3sprime, now i want to transfer all my call logs and sms to new MiA2 from old 3s Prime, so does anybody please guide me on this, i have tried with CloneIt app but it was not connecting, I already tried with Sms Backup & Restore app but with this app sms and call log can be transferred, but after transferring call log will not display whole call log as same as old 3sprime, it will display only around last 20 days of call logs, so need any app that can transfer call log from old 3sprime to new MiA2.
Thanks in advance

Do you have root? You can use titanium backup for that
Otherwise you can restore from Google backup

No, i have not rooted my MiA2 and i dont wanna root.
i think google backup does not include call logs, is there any way to backup call logs to google from MIUI(i have redmi 3s Prime) and restore to Android One(my new device MiA2)
