Use SMSBackup+ from the Google Play Store/Android Market. It connects and saves everything in your gmail under the SMS label.
I remember TB used to be able to do this when I backed up everything. I only backup apps now so that my roms dont have complications.

i used to use mybackup root, they have an option just to save and restore those, i remember there was a glitch in one of the updates several months back, but i assume that should be fixed now. The glitch was that i couldn't delete the messages i restored. I know weird. lol
I use Titanium for both.

For backup of SMS I'd recommend SMS backup & restore as titanium backup has failed me on occasions when restoring sms. It can be a lengthy process if you're backing up or restoring thousands of sms.

+1 to this also Titanium backup sometimes deletes your current messages and replaces them with the backup :/ plus sms backup and restore is free
I like super backup. See appstore.

Need help with contacts

So, I want to back up the contacts I had on my phone sim card before flashing rom -Aokp task 650-.
I really cant stand that it auto synched all my google contacts. In fact... I think the invention of synch should be completely eliminated it messes up everything.
So I only want to have phone contacts and nothing to do with any synch or email or anything. I think i been clear enough haha.
Also the jellybean limits my options about contacts and sim card and such.
So...what options do i have?
Thank you in advance.

1. Get GoContacts or GoContactsEx. You can export all your contacts into an XML file. After you load your ROM, simple import the list back.
I would strongly recommend this cos of ease. Plus, you could keep multiple copies of contacts export files.
2. In TiBu, backup contacts storage, and restore later and reboot.

Go into contacts...hit menu... select contacts to display. Then select which ones you want to display i.e. phone, Google, Facebook, etc. Or create customized list. Phone is what is saved to your phone not Google. When you flash it's basically nothing but you
So do i have to reflash the rom and wipe everything from recover?
Update!
Ok i decided to delete all and simply impirted from simcard. All is as it should be.
Thank you.

SIM card has limits on number of fields you can store. So if all you store is numbers, this method should work great.

Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone can recommend a good app for app back up and restore?

Ultimate backup works perfectly never had a problem flashed about 100+ roms

Had problems with Carbon, drivers are installed on my laptop but phone us not recognised when it's plugged in.
Does ultimate backup allow you back up app user data, such as game saves?
Or are there any apps that will do this?

App Back up and restore
Go backup
+1 Go backup pro the best, but I think you need to be root, at least for all posibilities
Super backup works quite well

does it back up app data without root?
I would suggest go backup pro , backs up everything including contacts , messages, launcher layout , apps and data , supports cloud backup too , and many more features . Check it out
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Can't beat go backup
I think any backup app that backs up user data requires ROOT access
