Cant restore sms messages - myTouch 3G, Magic General

Hi, I just changed roms from eugenes (1.5) rom to dwangs (1.6) rom. I used backup for root to backup my txt messages but I cant seem to restore them. I was wondering if a 1.5 mmssms.db file from 1.5 is compatible with 1.6?
Thanks
/update
Hi again guys, right I sent a txt and I could see all the previous messages that I had received and sent to that person, but I cant actually see any messages when I open the messages app, including the one that I just sent.

Best software to use after rom change to get old data back?

I currently use Titatum Backup. What is the best way to get back all of your old software? What is the best way to get back email and txt messages from your phone before the upgrade? Is there away to backup and restore for all data on phone after ROM change. Big headaches seem to be txt messages and email messages and software. Contacts you can just restore via Google.
Thanks for any help you can give.
I use Ti for apps only. I back up my texts and mms with the stock messenger. Contacts and emial are automaticly restored when I sync my gmail profiles. (I only use gmail email addresses and use the gmail app from the market).
I ran into an issue when I went from my previous rom to synergy rc2 and did a full restore of apps and user data using Ti. Long story short, Ti over-wrote some system files and borked my mms.
I have heard some speak of using appbrain, but I have not used it, so I can not comment on it.

Well if you didn't backup with Titanium, or make a Nandroid backup, there is no way to get that data back.

Texts can be backed up with SMS Backup and Restore. Emails should be on the email server to begin with. Apps can be backed up and restored with Titanium
The guys on the Mik forums recommend Titanium Backup (paid version) for apps and data and MyBackup Root (free on the market) for SMS and MMS messages. I also use it for my alarms and dictionary and neither have let me down yet.
I saved a copy of everything that was on my phone before I changed from stock rom to cm7...how would I then get my messages back to my phone?
I use my backup pro

[Q] solid solution for backing up sms AND mms

hi,
I've been searching the internet for quite a while now in a search for an application that will backup my sms AND mms messages.
Yes, I know about backing up to gmail, but when I need to restore it - it doesn't restore mms, it only does sms and I need BOTH.
I have mms messages that are very important to me since sometimes I write messages longer than 4 sms, it just doesn't matter to me how long is it so I end up with sending mms quite a lot of times. It is because of that it is very important for me to find a solid application that backs up mms along with ordinary sms.
I am doing this because when I update to 2.3.3. all of those messages will be lost and I want to have them in my phone at all times. Any good and working suggestions please?
Also, I have tried Android Sync Manager today and it says it backed up all the messages but when I go and try to restore them it says that restore failed (after the progress bar fills up), could that be because none of the messages has been deleted? I think that it should back them up even if they haven't been deleted, it's not like the program cares if I have 2 of each message right? So does ASM actually work and I'm supposed to update without being afraid for my mms and sms because it will restore once all messages are deleted or it doesn't work and you have a better solution?
Thank you
Backup and restore for 2.3

does it work on android 2.1? I need to back them up on 2.1 and then restore when I'm on 2.3.
Also sorry if this is in the wrong section, it's just that the description "Discussion about the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 (tips & tricks, etc)" seemed nice to me to ask the question here since I'd say I'm asking for a tip/trick
You have backup and restore on 2.1. On 2.3 install the 2.3 version and restore.

Moving from Sense 3.0 to MIUI -How to keep messages?

Hey guys,
I'm currently running Android Revolution HD 6.1.4 and I want to move to a MIUI based ROM, the only thing stopping me is that I want to keep some specific SMS and MMS messages but I can't find a way to backup AND restore MMS messages. Some claim to do it but I have heard of people having issues going between different ROMs.
Can anyone link me to a guide or app that can allow me to backup and restore SMS and MMS messages that will work going from Sense to MIUI?
I am unable to buy apps so if you suggest an app please consider this.
Thank you and sorry if this is in the wrong section.
Use mybackup root. You can download it in market.

Every time i've changed ROM i have made a backup of all SMS on my phone. I use Sms backup+. Unfortunately I'm a new member and I can't post any link to this application, but it's very easy to find it on Android Market.
It uploads all your text messages to your gmail account and afterwards once you've installed your new ROM, you just download the app again and reset all the messages! Works very well, and also it's free!
Good Luck!
I use smsbackuprestore its simple, free and works with any from and any SMS application, even worked when I moved from MIUI on my inspire to my galaxy nexus
even Titanium Backup pro is brilliant, works all the time for me
Afaik, tit backup doesn't backup the messages itself. Anyway, when I restore a backup (full backup ofc), my sms messages are not restored
I use SMSbackup & Restore seperately... I don't know if this backups mms messages as well

Why are U unable to buy apps?
Titanium Backup Pro works great, and you can backup too many other things, such as your score in games, some of your configuration settings...
running smsbackup+ here to,
run the app, backup to gmail, and then restore, worked perfectly for me. no matter what rom i am using.
i solved the massive amount of sms being restored back after a couple of months by simply assigning them a different label in gmal. so im still able to find them if i need, but wont overfill my phone.
I use gosms to make a backup file in my SD card, install new rom and then gosms to restore all SMS from backup.
Yours truly.
SMS Backup+ is a very great choice. Easy upload of your files to your gmail account. Hassle free.!! Do try it.
Here is the link
I also use SMS Backup+. It works perfectly fine.
The only one I know that backs up both sms and mms including pictures is Sprite Backup. Check it out.
I removed the original SMS app and installed Go SMS pro. There are built-in backup/restore functions in Go SMS pro.
I always use SMS Backup & Restore, incredibly easy and quick to get them off your sd card and back into your SMS app

I used Mybackup pro, used from gingerbread sense to ICS, and back lol.
I'm also using SMS Backup+ . No problems so far
I always use a combination of titanium backup and mybackup. Just back up all your data with both of them, then after restoring with titanium fill up what is left out with mybackup..

Always used mybackup pro. Works like a charm for me.

[Q] Nexus 4 Modified MMS.apk bug resolution.

Hello all. I'm using the LG Nexus 4, rooted, and running the stock rom. I absolutely LOVE the theme of this MMS.apk originally developed for the Galaxy Nexus:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1745830
However, I have a small problem...I cannot send MMS messages or receive them, as well as forwarding multiple people a message. Otherwise regular SMS messaging and everything else works out fine. I installed it through the use of Root Browser Lite after uninstalling and backing up the stock MMS through Titanium Backup. The post also mentions installation by "flashing into recovery," though not sure if that is the same as installing a rom through Clockwork Recovery or another method, which I did not do. Can anyone help me? I wish to keep using the stock messaging app with this theme, without the need for a third party SMS solution like Handcent or GO SMS Pro. Thanks!

SMS / MMS DB Location

Hi guys,
Had a bit of a search already, but can't find the info. I'm new to the HTC One M9,and after rooting and my first setup I tried restoring my mmssms.db file from my old phone but to no avail. Is this file still the correct location? My old phone was a Z2 running Cm12.1. I'm hoping to flash a new rom shortly, but hate having to wait hours for SMS Backup and Restore to do the job, I was so used to just copying the actual database and restoring it in recovery.
