So I use this program to backup all my SMS and mms but it has a bunch of SMS I don't want. Does anyone know of a way to erase everything and then back up again?

You can look in the market for a file manager. I prefer Astro File Manager and its free. Kinda works like when you click "My computer" in windows, you can find the file that the messages are backed up in, delete them, then just backup your new ones to replace it.
Would you know where they are kept? Have root explorer and was looking for anything called SMS backup but didn't find anything. I looked on the SD card and in system/apps. Appreciate the help.

Generally the app will make a folder on the root of your sd card. I can't say specifically what it would be named, but look for any indications like the apps name. I can guarantee you though, that it will not be in system/apps because apps that have the backup functionality would not designate them to where they can be gone alone with the app if you uninstall.
What app are you using? Maybe I can replicate it and help you find it.
Its called SMS backup + and I believe it may cost a little money I could be wrong though. Again any help is appreciated thanks

From what I see... It may just be backing it up to your GMAIL account. I'm doing a backup now so I'll check for you.
Yeah I just figured it out it snycs to your gmail and if you open your lables you will see SMS. From there you can just delete all then redo it. Thanks again for your help, much appreciated.

I'd have to disagree. SMS backup + is the easiest one I've ever used. My main reason? No files to keep since it all goes to gmail.
SD card goes bad no big deal where a you could lose your backups otherwise.
You can also restore certain SMS by using the star feature

Titanium Backup does this. You can backup/restore apps & settings. Also, you can extract the .apk files and copy them to your sd card.

I'll second the Titanium Backup recommendation, makes it easy to get your apps back where they were after your flash a new ROM or wipe. It's a must have app for any Android phone IMO and is good enough to be a sole reason for rooting (I rooted my mom's OG Droid just so she could use TB)

I just noticed that this game is now available for us. By when I retro download it in the market it won't download. It starts then quites(as do some other apps for some reason.) Is there another place or way I can download the game??

you said other apps, do all apps not download? I ask this because a few weeks back my market wouldnt download any apps and I had to wipe everything and reflash. Turns out it was an app causing the problem when I used titanium backup to restore apps. Just a thought if that is your problem. Oh and to answer your main question, if its not what I previously mentioned then I suppose you could check androidzoom or app brain, I think they do stuff with apps. Last resort, check 4shared.com

Probably going to have to move all your apps over to your phone and delete the android_secure folder. Then reboot and give it a try. Sounds like that folder got corrupted. Pretty common occurrence.

Nope won't erase anything. Once you delete that folder (while nothing is in there)you will be good after reboot. It won't erase anything and it will create a new one once you start downloading again. Give me a few minutes and ill send ya the link
Here ya go. This will explain it all. I've had to do it 3-4 times with all the flashing I've done. This is the "more permanent fix" http://forum.androidcentral.com/gen...not-downloading-installing-image-warning.html

Not sure why es wouldn't be showing it under SD card files. Have you checked into maybe getting astro pro, or root explorer? If not, sure you could use adb to erase it.

Dang that sucks. Make sure you clear the data for the market and once one starts downloading, cancel it. Then try again right after you cancel it.
This probably won't help you any but just a heads up, you'll probably have a ton of download#.apk files in /sdcard/downloads

Have your flashed a new ROM on top of another one? Perhaps, old folders from another ROM is still on your phone which has ringtones from a different sub-folder? Try reflashing the ROM again with a simple cache/dalvik cache wipe.
I do clean installs on all the roms I flash. I guess I'm going to have to save the ones I like and delete the rest.

I have titanium backup and I know that does, I just don't know if it restores to a different device correctly
Search for sms backup+
Backups to gmail account just like email.
But then again you are on cm10. That might make a difference.

Use sms backup+ for texts and as for apps and such drag your titanium backup file over and restore
It will work. Titanium backup. But besure to restore asap. It will disorient the order or wipe the newer stuff. I brought my stuff from my samsung infuse. The note 2 and s3 are damn near the same phone software wise. Especially if you go aosp to aosp.
You can cloud the titanium backup via dropbox. But its a bit weird. Id just save it to the sdcard and swap.

Titanium will do sms and call logs as well but I've seen some people have issues. However, you can use "sms backup and restore" and "call log backup and restore" from the market. They work pretty well. I use them all the time.
