How to Restore SMS on my LG G2? - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi there.
Just got my brand new LG G2....and I'm still amazed with it.
Right now I'm facing a problem concerning restoring my SMS.
I always used SMS BACKUP.
I do know, from a previous phone I had, that this has to do with Kitkat security.
On that previous phone I had to give some authorization for SMS BACKUP write on my SMS log, so that backed up messages could be stored.
With my LG G2, since the entire operating system is different from a clean stock rom, I can't seem to find the option to give proper authorization.
Can anyone help me with this?

[Q] Noob question: Possible to push stock MMS app in all-stock device?

Hi All. My N4 is all stock. To transfer my sms messages from my previous device, I used SMS Backup & Restore app from Playstore to create a backup file which I then transferred to the stock N4. I used the same app on the N4 to restore. Strangely, the restore process froze the N4, and worse, when I rebooted, the stock mms app was suddenly "not installed" (with just the green android robot in its place on the dock). I had to install Go SMS and did the restore all over again. Go SMS worked, fortunately. (I think it may have been the volume of sms restored that choked up the stock mms app, but i'm just speculating, and I still don't why the restore process should delete/uninstall the stock app itself.)
My question now is: is it possible re-install a stock MMS on an all-stock N4? if yes, how? I'm trying to avoid a factory reset if this can be avoided. Many thanks!

[Q] Kies not restoring SMS

Hey everyone.
I unrooted my Note 3 and used Kies on a Macbook to restore my backup to the phone. However, everything gets restored except my SMS. Even the MMS gets restored. I know the SMS is saved in the backup because I used the same backup file before and everything was fine. Now, Kies only restores some of the SMS from a few people, shows (No Subject) for most of them, and since a few hours ago, wont even detect the phone.(Connecting...) Anybody know what's going on or is there another program that can restore the .sme file which holds the SMS? Thanks!

Save all SMS and load into new phone

Hi guys,
I have the Galaxy S4 but will be eventually getting a new Android phone in the not too distant future. I have several text messages on the existing phone. What is the best way to save all the text messages and seamlessly load them into the new phone ? Any recommendations ?
I plan on rooting the new phone. If I used Titanium backup, how would I back up the texts then load them to the new phone ? I currently have CM right now, can everything be restored via Titanium backup on a TW or another newer version of CM later on ?
I tried using titantium backup to restore but had no success in the past.
I have been using SMS Back up and Restore and it works on CM as well. The same developer has one for call logs too. Call logs Back up and Restore if you want those saved too

Google Messenger acting up after Backup and Restore with TWRP 3.0.2-2

So I looked everywhere but I can't seem to find an answer. My Google searches take me to iPhone threads.
I wanted to update my N6P with the new October security patch so before attempting to flash the OTA I made a nandroid with twrp 3.0.2-2. After flashing the new OTA I was having trouble with updating apps through Play Store. I tried to find the problem to no avail until I remembered installing one of those ToolBox Apps to manage my startup apps. I figured that could be it so I got rid of it. It seem to work afterwards but since I had reset some other system apps before this, it wasn't working well, very laggy so I decided to restore my Backup via twrp.
The issue:
After restoring Backup via twrp 3.0.2-2, everything seemed normal until I received a text message this morning. The problem basically is that I can send texts find to anyone of my contacts but whenever they respond, the phone shows the message through another contacts phone number / text thread.
If I am texting for instance Adam and he responds, I receive his text in John's text thread... I don't know what could possibly fix this. Can someone give me guidance on how to pinpoint the problem and or a fix?
thanks so much
Sorry about blabbering so much I assumed a detail description would help the helper..
Just clear the app data on the application. You'll lose all your old texts though. I'm not sure what causes this but it happens to me too

In need of stock boost Aquos crystal rom

I attempted to upgrade to 64gb micro SD. I use link2sd to add additional internal storage for apps and games. Problem is that my twrp backup is over 8gb and I kept running into errors while trying to restore my twrp backup. So I came here and used someone's "stock" twrp backup. Everything looked fine,although the rom looked slightly different. The most pressing issue was that my Google account refused to sync. Also, there was no contacts app, so I was not able to restore my contacts or even add new contacts. Tried installing KitKat contacts,no bueno. I've decided to factory reset and start from scratch. Will one of you fine people send me the stock rom for the boost Aquos crystal? Unless you guys no of a way I can restore my contacts?
i have firmware for 306sh....
