Does anyone know if this is possible in Titanium Backup? Restoring handcent and losing sms tests suck.
Same problem
Clearly you are switching roms when you restore your phone, right? If so, I was having the same problems. If you switch roms, there is no guarantee that your call logs and sms/mms will transfer or be restored. If it is the same rom that you used to backup, then they should be restored. I started to use Sprite Backup after Titanium, to save my app settings, call logs, messages, multimedia messages and system settings before I change roms. Doesn't take long, compared to Titanium.
Here are a couple free apps I use in addition to Titanium backup...
One for call logs: http://www.androidzoom.com/android_applications/tools/call-logs-backup-restore_bcpj.html
Another for SMS: http://www.androidzoom.com/android_applications/tools/sms-backup-restore_beyk.html?nav=area
I've gone from stock 2.1 ROM, to DamageControl ROM, to 2.2 OTA rooted and in all cases, I was able to backup/restore my SMS/call log via Titanium Backup

Ditto. I've went from 2.1 ROMs to 2.2 ROMs... fresh and DC
and ive used a donated version of Titanium backup... and it restored sms and call logs.

I have the donated version. Is there a setting where you have to enable to save those? Did you do any full wipes (data/factory) when going from one rom to the next?
I use titanium donated version and its really nice....especially using apps2sd.

Wouldn't it be easier to use MyPhoneExplorer or a similar program to backup call logs, sms etc.?
MyBackup Pro can backup call logs and sms/mms. I normally use that to restore them. Haven't had any problems when I jump roms and from 2.1 to 2.2.
If you rely on TiBackup, then backing up and later restoring [SMS/MMS/APN] Dialer Storage would restore all of the messages.
It just saved my day after Desire HD decided to completely wipe out my mmssms.db.
MyBackup Pro is perfect with titanium.

which option restores the call log?
i use sms backup & restore from the market its amazing..
backs them up and saves them to your sd card and you can re download the app and restore them after a flash..
I thought titanium backup can do this though

I've got a wicked easy way to keep your call logs:
1) Make a Google Calendar titled "Calls"
2) Set Calendar to sync, but not show, the Calls calendar.
3) Download and install CallTrack from the Market.
4) Open CallTrack, have it sync all calls to the Calls calendar.
5) Enjoy! Worst case scenario: You lose the call logs in the Phone app (or your dialer of choice), but at least you still have all incoming, outgoing, and missed call numbers in your Google Calendar.
As for SMS... I've just come to use Google Voice for everything except Tasker, MMS, and things which require shortcodes (Twitter mentions/DMs, MyCokeRewards, etc.).
I know of many other apps there can restore call logs but I was just wondering if titanium backup can do it, the less app the Better

I'm not certain, but I had issues restoring SMS/MMS across ROMs when I switched between an HTC based ROM and an AOSP ROM (e.g. switching from stock to Cyanogen wouldn't restore the data, but switching from stock to Frost worked fine). As a side note, you will have to reboot your phone before the data will show up.
Titanium on an n1
Just rooted my n1 and installed the cyanomod 6. lots of fun but i'm neglecting the kids. as mentioned above I used ti to backup and restore the messages and calls files:
[CONTACTS/CALLS] Contacts Storage 2.2.1 - calls?
[SMS/MMS/APN] Dialer Storage 2.2.1 - messages?
Only gotcha was that I expected to see them immediately but it actually required a reboot. ROM Manager backup saved my restores and rebooted at the same time.

Voyager/ahill44 -
I'm running midNIGHT v5 ROM right now, based on EC05. Very similar interface to stock though. If I run the backup of SMS/MMS/APN Dialer Storage, will it restore my SMS messages if I'm flashed back to [rooted] stock EC05? I'm still on RFS file system, not EXT4.. it should work, correct?
Thanks!
*EDIT* - was able to find the originals in the TitaniumBackup folder, replace it with the ones from this morning, just reflashed and restored. Worked like a charm, THANK YOU
I was wondering if there's any way to restore the SMS text messages that I backed up on Synergy rom. I was using the built in backup sms feature on Synergy. Last night, I changed over to Cyanogenmod 7 and realized that there's no restore option for SMS texts.
Thanks
Best you can do is restore your sysnergy backup, download my sms backup from the market, backup the messages, save the app and data in titanium, restore CM7, restore the app and data.

Yep thats the only way. If you used the rom's built in backup feature, it wont work in any other rom. But you can download SMS Backup and Restore and that will work between roms.
I figured. I was hoping something more easier, but looks like I'll just have to do that. Thanks all!
Hi there :3
I've been using (and loving) my GS2 for two month's now and not that I'm tired of Juggernaut ROM, I would just like to try out other ROMS and give them a test go.
Because wiping data is the best before using another ROM, I would like to know how other people do a recovery of their stuff? Such as history of Messaging / Call logs / Favorites / Numbers / Account Details and etc.
I'd be using Titanium Backup but I don't know if it recovers other than apps.
All tips would be helpful, please and thank you :3

Favorites, numbers and contacts are all synced with your Google account. Once you sign in, it auto restores all of that, assuming you have it synced. Call logs and SMS/mms can be restored using titanium backup. You restore the SMS dialer storage data only, not data+app. That should restore your SMS and MMS. There should be a similar named restore file for the call log. Another alternative I use in conjunction with that is an app on the market called SMS Backup+. It backs up all call logs and SMS/MMS to your Google account which can be restored as well - with the exception that MMS can't be restored. Hope that helps.

Also wanted to add that using titanium to restore those data requires aa reboot for them to show up.
Edit: you can only titanium restore call logs/SMS/mms between Twiz roms. Titanium restoring that data from Twiz to CM7 based will not work. SMS Backup+ will however.

If flashing the same base Android version or similar (i.e. 2.3.6), I just do a Nandroid backup prior to flashing the new ROM, and then doing an Advanced Restore data in CWR right after flashing. Clear cache and Dalvik and reboot. All your data is as you left it. Some people have reported issues with this but it's the first thing I try before messing around with Titanium.
Hi, I backed up my messages using the stock htc messages app, which gave me a file in /sdcard/sms_backup. However, recently I've changed my ROM to the AOKP Jellybean ROM, which replaced the messaging app. Now, I want to restore my messages but there is no option for me to do so in the new messaging app. Is there any way I can get my messages back?
you should have backed up messages using sms backup or titanium backup or something like that....i also had backed up the messages using the messaging app,it created the sms backup file in sdcard.....it did not work .....
yea dude been there ! sad u shud have backed up using titanium backup ...
I'm running Quantum v3 and Kt (tried to Qkernel 12/08) as kernel and found that my SMS messaging native app stop sending once I restore from my SMS backup & restore app. Tried using other SMS apps but get same results
For everything to be OK I have to wipe all data and restore again.
Anny guess?? Is an issue with restoring sms ??

With 4.4 sms backup and restore requires you to set the sms backup and restore app as default. Make sure after your restore you go into your settings and change your default messaging app back to messages or hangouts.
Resolved, it was a carrier issue.
thanks
