I used My Phone Explorer 1.8.2 few weeks ago to backup the datas (SMS conversations, Pictures, contacts etc.) on my wifes Arc S. After restoring them with MPE, I tried to restore the MMS with MyBackup Root, too. It worked, but after that I couldn't delete any conversation - neither with the stock app nor with one from Google Play. The sorting of the conversations was also mixed up.
Meanwhile I tried different methods: I saved them only with MyBackup Root (only SMS, SMS+MMS) or with MPE, but everytime I try to restore them, I can't delete the conversations, even if I only restore the SMS. It doesn't work anymore! I've the same phone and saving/restoring with MyBackup Root work all the time. I become insane and can't solve this problem. Can someone help me or do have some ideas?
Can you save any to sim then delete.
Not sure if this saves mms or what the limit is

You'll need to delete the data. Restoring sms leads to conversions that can't be deleted.
What do you mean? It works on my phone and which data should I delete? Is it the backup which cause problems?

I addicted to looking at and trying out new roms but its so annoying that i have to download everything back and all my text are wiped bla bla i think some people might understand.
anyway i can install new themes but when its done loading that all my apps and everything is still the way i left it?
thanks in advance
First of, download and install Titanium Backup or Titanium Backup Pro. With it, you can backup all of your apps and their data. After doing that, go into recovery and make a nandroid backup of your current set up. Doing so will put your device back like it was just in case you don't like the new rom, theme or whatever it is you plan to flash. Afterwards and while in recovery, wipe everything except the SD card then flash your new rom. None of your previous apps should be installed.

^^^^what he said^^^^
you beat me to it, lol
Flattering us won't help.
And well to get your apps back, backup with titanium, restore apps and data, not system settings. And for you second question, it depends on what the app themes, you can always re-do the icon.
And jeeze, I'm the last one in the 7:08, 7:09, 7:10 time reply train.
Also, I just learned about backing up adw desktop settings ...restores all folder and apps where they were when you backed up. Super convienent...use after restoring from titanium backup.
ok so i just got to install titanium backup (which i have already but have never used it) and backup my apps and data as is (does this include my text messages? )
and the difference between titanium and Nandroid backup is the titanium backs up my apps and nan backup takes me back to my last backup was just incase the current rom i installed is not to my liking or faulty? right?
Correct me if im wrong, i can take it
tell you guys the truth i just care about my text's messages being erased. i don't mind installing the apps again.
Download and install SMS backup+ from the market, it's free. Once you set it up (easy) it will back up all your SMS and MMS to your Gmail account. When you load a new rom you can restore all your txts as well. You can set it to back up automatically or manually, your choice. To restore just start the app nd click restore, boom, all sms are loaded back up.
Thanks alot guys i really do appreciate it.
Complimentary BJ's to all
Mybackup pro will do that call logs text msgs and mms

i got a new rom and clicked restore and it restored "0"
and i did back it up all 139 texts.
Did you check your gmail account? It should show all your texts saved to a folder. If it didn't, then you never properly backed them up.
Once you install the new rom, be sure you signed back into your account in the backup app.

Hey,
Today at my first time, I Installed ROM and Kernal and Radio and all this essential crap.
Before I started, I went to HTC Sync software on my PC, and backed up all my files, Calender, People and thou..
But I guess I didn't notice that the SMS messages are not included on the backup list.
So now with my new ROM, when I synced back the files from the HTC Sync, it only bringed me back the Calender, People.. but not the messages,
Witch is pretty important for me, I had alot of important SMSs which I wish to restore.
When I installed the ROM I went through all the steps on the guide including the Wipe thing that I understood it is something backup?
Also I used the google's sync all the time,
Is there any option to get my SMSs from there?
Thank you very much,
Yarden.
As far as I know HTC Sync and Google Sync no backup messages.
You should have previously backup you messages with (for example) Titanium Backup.
If you haven`t Nanodroid Backup previous rom - you can`t restore you messages.
I don't love you..
oh crap. stupid ROM..
and what about the applications?
I see that they also gone,
Can they be restored?
No, apps can`t restore.
Before flash everything, I advise do backup all with TB, nanodroid backup and then flash all that you need.
These actions will help you keep all the data and, if anything, to restore everything as it was.
Good luck.

If you downloaded them through the marketplace they'll automatically download and install when you sign in with your google account on your phone.
sromer, titanium backup does not wipe messages. To backup messages use sms backup+ which is free. If you have a nandroid backup, restore that, backup messages and do your rom thing again.

SMS Backup & Restore would also be a good choice
MyBackup has successfully restored sms, mms etc. for me 10+ times now. definitely worth using. great program!
If you want constant backups I use gosms and only use it yo schedule backups every day at 6, then all is good, but I'm going to start backing up on every text I get

I got issue a week ago where almost every app randomly crashes on my phone. It is Desire running CyanogenMod, with app2sd (including data). I tried upgrading CM, restoring stuff from nandroid backup, and changing SD cards, but the problem always comes back.
So I want to wipe everything clean and install system on fresh device.
However, I also want to keep my contacts, text messages, call history and stuff like that. How can I do it without using nandroid (which would also transfer my old problems)?
I use sms backup+ for sms and Call history. Are your contacts not google contacts?
Not all of them are google contacts. I'd also like to keep some other settings from other apps...
When you restore SMSes with SMS backup+, does the stock android message app still see the correct dates of text messages, or are they one big mess cause all the dates are reset to restore date?
Basically, I want to backup everything that does not have a chance of transfering the error form the old systme.
Do you think full system Titanium Backup would do it? Does it only backup app settings and saved data, or whole apps?

It backups the application + data.

I use Titanium for apps and their data, but for contacts,messages,phone history, etc i prefer My Backup Pro.
Hi,
Just got a One X and I want to transfer my txt messages from my old Desire HD to the One X...
The Transfer app will only transfer contacts and nothing else.
I know there are some backup apps that do this, are there any other ways to do this?
Just use SMS Backup & Restore
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.riteshsahu.SMSBackupRestore
Just install it on both devices, backup the messages, copy the backup over and then restore them on the new phone.
It's really easy so you might aswell just do it this way.
Hiya Lee
Had the same problem and couldn't find a easy way to do it without too much faffing about, I ended using SMS Backup + by Jan Berkel (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zegoggles.smssync&hl=en) and backing up the messages on my old desire and then restoring them on the one X. Not the quickest way to do it but it does have the benefit of letting you have a copy of your txts in your gmail for searching through etc..
(note the app does seem to take a while to restore initially for some reason)
Or you can install SMS Go and do a backup Same thing~
I can vouch for SMS backup and restore. Very useful app for constantly changing rooms like I used to without sg2! Then upload to dropbox for even safer keeping ;-)

Pretty much what i do but once i have the messages on the device i just tell titanium backup to backup the sms database.
OK - thanks guys...
I'll do it that way.
My previous DHD was running ARHD 7.0.3 so I used the back up facility in Sense 3.6. Then I copied the file from the sd card (in sms_backup) and placed it in a folder called sms_backup on the sd card of my HOX and then pressed the menu button in the text message app and selected Back up SMS and then select Restore SMS... Select the listed backup and wait....
It was really simple and worked flawlessly
Hi guys!
I just updated my s to jb.
I was in slim before(4.2.2)
the problem is after I restored my sms conversation.apk crash.
Is there a way to recover my sms maybe modifying something or using another apology.
I even tried older versions of conversation, no luck at all
Thanks
Try to clear data of the conversation/messaging apps. This won't delete your messages but would restore the settings. It might work.
Or, you might has restored too many sms than the app itself can store
