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.

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.

huawei backup app

Hi does the Huawei backup app copy all your app data and settings when u use it? A bit like iTunes did a full system backup and encrypted the data or titanium? This was very handy for restoring banking apps. I only ask as whilst root is great - I really miss Google pay.
Cheers
Andy

No, unfortunately.
I've never used it, but Helium will backup and restore without root.
Edit: sorry, was thinking about the phone clone app from my old phone.
So I backed up using.both the backup app on the phone and hisense on the computer. Reflashed stock and relocked the bootloader. I then restored my apps from hisense and it's perfect. All my banking apps and Google authenticator work perfectly - no need to setup again.
Can confirm, Huawei Backup works fine and is the first non-root app, that restore apps and data. On other phones i test this Helium but it was ****, sorry.
Hi
I have problem to backup my P20 pro using Huawei Backup because when I try to connect to Hisuite .. it prompt out an error says "an app is obscuring a permission request"

Hi,
Yes I know its backed up in Gdrive. Is there a way to extract the data?
Uninstall whattsapp and reninstall it and choose restore my backup? Usually works for me. But i don't have that big of a restore file
