text messaging not working on ics - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

ie tried 2 roms now, cm9 and darkside both ics roms, and the text messaging app is not opening, i even tried go sms, its not opening either, a lot of apps just freeze when trying to open, anyone have a fix for this ?

i also used sms backup to restore my old messages, but i cant open any messaging app

do a darkside wipe and install it again. it should work.
I'm on cm9 (updated today) it's working perfectly fine

I have used both the stock kernel and netarchys 3.7.7c and 3.7.8 Does it matter if im using HandCent? Any suggestions to getting MMS to send or anyone with these problems also?

did you restore your back up with titanium back up? I have heard of people ahving issues with MMS after switching from 2.1 to 2.2 and then doing a full titanuim back upr restore.
I personally have avoided this so by by selecting restore all but then going down the lsit and unchecking 2.1 specific settings/apps (it gtalk_update 2.1 checkin_service2.1 etc etc)
if this sounds like your problem i would reflasha nd restore trying the method above. then reboot phone once and try
I didnt restore anything with titanium. I just downloaded everything off the market again. Any ideas? It says its sending and just goes on enlesly
EDIT: i had installed handcent and deleted the stock messanger that came with the rom. That was a bad idea lol. Reinstalled stock sms/mms program and its all good now

Idk if it works if your restoring SMS/MMS data from a CM10 ROM to a TW ROM and vice versa but it definitely works if your nandroid is a TW based ROM and your current ROM is also TW based

Just use SMS backup and restore to backup before switching roms. That's what I used when switching to the S3 and when flashing roms on the E4GT.

+1 on the SMS Backup/Restore, there are a few on the market...
What I do is use titanium back up to back up the data and later restore the data only, not sure if this works from TW to AOSP though...have not tried it, yet.

With Titanium, when you restore the data, does that include contacts and apps as well?

Yea but if you add contacts via your Google account you may get doubles.
Titanium Backup also has a great backup/restore option for SMS and MMS, works regardless of the ROM you are on and the ROM you are restoring to

Wasn't sure of that, reason why I didn't respond earlier. Thanks for clearing it. I usually don't flash AOSP roms...

I have just successfully extracted sms and mms from nandroid (CWM) backup.
Backed up system was CM7 and restored to CM10 on Milestone2.
I used Titanium Backup (need the pro version for 'extract from nandroid') and restored 'Phone/Messaging Storage'.

[Q] Sync Contacts after Rom change.

So i just upgraded to Dougshells AOKP rom and its working awesome.
Only issue i am having is that there isnt a "contacts" application.
If i use Titanium backup to restore my "contacts" from ICS will that harm anything?
My contacts wont even sync from google.
Am i missing the stock "Contacts" App?

Do you flash gapps? If not well flash the latest JB gapps and you will be fine.
Do not use your ICS contacts backup in JB ROMs.

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
