When I try to restore my sms messages with titanium backup all the conversation threads re appear but none of the messages are there. I backed up and tried to restore my sms on touchwiz based 4.4.2 roms. I've read around a bit and it seems like titanium backup isnt the best for restoring sms messages, I should have probably used a specific sms backup app. However, some people are saying restoring sms works with titanium backup on aosp roms so could I flash an aosp rom, resotre my sms with titanium backup, backup with a proper sms backup app, and then restore that new backup to my current rom ?
Is there any other way I can get my sms from the titanium backup ? Like can I convert it to a different backup type or something or open it and restore it with something else ?
Any help and advice will be appreciated, thanks.
Never mind I got it. I flashed an aosp rom, restored the sms trhough titanium backup, took a backup of that with sms backup and restore from the playstore, and restored the backup from that app on to my current touchwiz rom.

I did a full titanium restore before moving to EB13. I want to restore my user data, but not my apps. My two main things are my desktop orientations, my old SMS messages. I can't find anything in the backup list that looks like it would be either of these two items. Can you tell me where to find these to restore them?
I did find my BT pairings, and my WIFI APs, so I am good there.
I didn't think Titanium could backup system data like mms and phone logs. I thought it was just settings and apps.
I'm not a huge fan of Titanium or any other market backup utility. They are all spotty. I would nandroid backup and rely mostly on that, on top of Titanium.
If you can backup and restore using CWM3 do you even need Titanium Backup?
I think the real advantage of Titanium backup is that you can selectively restore programs and data. i.e. you can choose to restore your MMS data but not your wifi settings, etc. FYI, I know the MMS data is in there because I restored it all when I moved to EB13. I just don't remember where it is...
Titanium has a wiki (and forum?) that has good information on all of this. Look here: http://www.matrixrewriter.com/android/
Just installed this and, after some frustrated attempts to backup and restore SMS messages, I finally got it to work.
Here's the key... backing-up PIM data does NOT backup SMS messages on the HD2. You MUST select the option to backup e-mails when running a custom backup if you want your SMS messages backed-up!
Hope this helps someone.
I am new to nexus 4 but not new to android .. with all my phones i experiment with different roms but everytime i change my rom i tack backup of all softwares and data manually and restore it againapp by app(very tedious process).. is there any way or software to do all the backup(call logs, sms, app+data ) and restore it automatically after changing the rom ...
please help
Yes there is. Titanium Backup allows you to back up to SD or cloud. You can backup all apks and data and restore in one go. It's not tedious but takes a little while... obviously.
The pro version of titanium backup allows one touch batch restores.
Hey everyone!
I'm currently using Paranoid Android 4.4.2 beta 12/15 and I was wondering, which app do you use to backup SMS & MMS messages? I used to use MyBackup Pro but the only bad thing is when the app backs up the messages they all get their dates reset to the date that you backed up. I tried backing up Hangouts with titanium and restored data after doing a fresh install and the messages appear and when I continue texting all the messages disappear. Go Backup doesn't seem to work either.
Should I just do a Nandroid backup, install the fresh updated beta and then restore my data? Or would that still be considered a 'dirty' flash and restore some of the old files from the previous build (like whatever was fixed in the new beta would be replaced with the files nandroid backup)?

I've tried a bunch and always comeback to Helium
Thanks for the suggestions, I tried Titanium and the messages restore but then with a reboot they disappear. Sometimes I don't have to reboot, If I text after the restore the messages just "disappear"
Try Sms backup & restore on play

Which restore method are you using? XML or Snapshot?
Sorry, if this seems like a newbie question. Maybe it is, though I don't feel like a newbie.
How do you restore apps+data between flashes? I have tried titanium backup, creating update.zip or just batch restoring, I tried myBackup and Superbackup. But I can't find a backup that will consistently restore apps and data for a painless flashing experience. I always have to re-enter account data for dropbox, evernote, whatsapp, etc. etc. etc.
What do you do?
Buy Titanium Backup

I did, I have.
But it doesn't help. For many apps, configuration is lost on restore. Or am I doing something wrong?
I put dropbox & evernote on a zip, flashed them, but configuration was lost. I restored them within Titanium,
and it was still lost.
Make sure you tick app + data when you restore apps.
personally i have used only few apps like whatsapp , here maps and google keep
and all my data was restored.
You do have type your google accounts information by yourself.
