[Q] sms restore problem - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hello!
i have galaxy s4 i9500 with magma rom v2.5.1.
i have a problem.
before the installion of the magma rom, i had ozcan rom 4.4.2 v6.3. i have backed up my call logs and meesages with"super backup" app.
after the installation, i successfully restored the call logs.
the restore of the messages was not succesful.
instead of restoring correctly, the phone divided almost all of the conversations to a few distincit conversations each. that did nit happen before when i flashe other roms.
in addition, i backed up my whatsup conversations, but when i activate the app and trying to restore the whatsapp messages, it is writing that it could not restore my whatsup messages.
what should i do?
p.s. when i installed textra app, the order of the messages was fine, but i want to use the system app...

[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!

Problem with restoring SMS into Galaxy S4 LTE

Hello,
I just upgrade my frimeware from 4.4.2 to 5.1.1 , and before doing this I backed-up my SMS with the Helium application but it seems that this application have some problems connecting the PC after that I upgrade, I backed-up my SMS too with Kies 3 but it won't support my phone anymore because the custom ROM, So for now I'v two backup's one from Helium and the other from Kies, and I didn't find anyway to restore my SMS back to my phone.
Any solutions ?
No replay at all
If you had a custom rom why didn't you use an app to do it? Most apps don't even require root to backup sms.

You mean you are now running CM? You can't backup on TW based rom and restore it on CM.
Either flash back a 4.4.2 rom, use a 3th party sms app. Backup that and restore it on CM.

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
