Any reason why changing a kernel would delete my texts? I had a very important text on "lock" from yesterday and now it's gone. Can't pinpoint if it was before or after I changed kernels.... grrr. I never do a backup while changing kernels. And I don't think there is anwyay to get deleted texts back
If it had a picture in it, https://pictures.sprintpcs.com/login.do?cp=login If it was just text, without a nandroid backup, i don't think you can get it back
Do you have a Gmail account? Yes. Download SMS backup + because it syncs to Google.
Probably won't help now but it will later.

I've a question. Is there any way we can retain all the data i.e. Contacts, SMSs, Applications when changing from 1 Build to another?
Eg I currently using [darkstone HD2Froyo v1] and wanna change to mattc Leo + Froyo w/Sense. So is there any way to do that without losing on the Apps, Contacts, SMSs?
Bump , I am wondering about the same thing too.
For personal data (except text messages), you can set up a Google email and sync. Your contact details will appear each time you load a new ROM.
For backing up programs you can try Astro File Manager which allows you to back up and reinstall all of your programs.
......not sure how to deal with. Text messages.
Hope this helps.

Use MyBackup and MyBackupPro(Paid App) and you can backup and restore your apps and your contacts, call logs, SMS, MMS etc. The apps can be restored along with the settings for the apps so you dont have to setup the apps after restoring.
Titanium Backup.
does that back up saved game data too?

Yes, Titanium Backup does back up saved game data. Why the rolleyes?
SEARCH PEOPLE!!! not just in HD2 development, but all over XDA, there are tons of threads stating how to move data/text/settings/apps over from one build to another.

cause i like em titanium build is for rooted devices and my build isnt rooted
My backup works awesome
Pissed off because i thought titanium backup, backup'ed all my contacts and messages when it obviously friggin doesn't. Thank god i have them on HTC sense online. I have turned off HTC hub sync of fear that my blank contact on my phone will overwrite the ones online. All i want is my contacts from my HTC sense back on my phone, how do i do this?
Thanks
Point 1. Why on earth would you think Titanium Backup backs up contacts and messages?
Anyway, that's irrelevant. How about your Gmail account? Did you not have them sync'd there? Just tick sync again and they'll come back (contacts at least)
I don't use HTCSense.com, but I would have thought HTC Hub is what you use to sync everything back? I guess best to wait and see if someone in the know can help with that.
An answer to Point 1. Probably because Titanium Backup says it does.

6.3. Restoring your messages
To restore your SMS/MMS, call logs, phone book, and the like: Tap the “Backup/Restore” button, and scroll the list for those data. They usually appear in green letters with square brackets around. Then deal with them as you would do with “single applications”.
If they don't show up in the list, make sure you didn't filter them out: tap your phones menu button, select “Filter”, and set the filters appropriately.

Fair enough. I've never seen that before, and scrolling through my list, there's nothing I would trust to be the actual messages, to me it looks mainly to be settings.
Do we know that the OP specifically went in and pressed on one of these and selected backup?
I have about 5 different email account in my MyTouch 4g not gmail account but personal and business account.
is there a way to backup these setting for my email account or do i allways have to manualy put the account back in after Flashing a New Rom?
Please let me know
I do not know of a way to backup account settings like that. It's possible there is an app that can do that so it's worth searching the Market, but I think you'll end up having to re-enter them manually.
Titanium back up should be able to back them up. You can try and test it. Just install tb and back up email. Delete one account and restore through tb and see if it restores the deleted email account.

I tried this once through TB long ago, and I believe it only backed up all messages from my accounts, not the log-in settings. I could be wrong though.
I'm having trouble using the go sms backup feature. I'm getting ready to switch phones, and there are any few sms messages I would like to save. When I click and hold the message thread that I want to save, I choose the option for "backup". It takes me to the backup and restore page. When I click backup, it just says "login successful" and nothing happens. I'm not sure how it logs in when I haven't set up a name or password.
I know there are other free apps that will backup and restore messages. But if possible, I would rather use go sms since I already have it and will be downloading it on my new phone anyway.

I don't use Go SMS for backup. I use "Backup to Gmail" app to backup my SMS. It backs up the SMS to my gmail. And I can use it to restore SMS on the same device or onto another device. It actually backs up SMS, MMS and Call logs into its own folders within gmail. There I can explore and read them within my gmail. I used this to backup and restore my SMS, MMS and call logs from my Droid X to my Galaxy Note 2.
Sorry the app is not free ($1.99 one time cost to purchase app), but well worth it. Google is where you sync Gmail email, Contacts, Calendar and photos. It makes logical sense to sync your SMS, MMS and call log with Google too.
Why not ask this question in the device, that you getting, forum about this.
But "Backup to Gmail" app is one seamless way of doing what you want to do. Just saying.
[SMS Backup +] (SMS Backup Plus) is the apparent predecessor to "Backup to Gmail" -- and it's free.

So I used Titanium Backup to backup all of my SMS and MMS from my Atrix 4G and restore them onto my new Nexus 4. Now any time I try to open any messaging app, it freezes and/or force closes, and I have tried to use a couple different auto delete apps from the Play Store and they just force close as well. I am rooted and have CWM installed (which I foolishly didn't use to make a backup before restoring my messages, because I didn't think it would screw anything up). Is there any way to easily clear all of the messages from the system (a file or folder to delete using Root Explorer?) Or will I have to do a factory reset and reset everything up again?
Have you tried SMS backup and Restore yet? It'll let you delete messages.
It hasn't frozen yet, but it is taking forever (there are about 30,000 messages to delete, though...). Fingers crossed that it works, and here's a thanks, even if it doesn't!
Oh wow haha.. I'm not sure any messaging app will be able to handle that many

It worked just fine with Handcent on my Atrix. Never hiccuped a once, actually.
If you're not coming from a stock jellybean AOSP device I wouldn't do it through titanium. Not fully equipped to handle that. Use sms backup and restore from the play store.
