Hi, I search and can't find answer to this question.
I often change ROMs and every time I install Viber and all my contacts are notifacate that I join viber.
Is there a way to stop this....for example Titanium backup or alternative method, like copy folder and files?

After trying Android Froyo for my Touch HD, I decided to use it for daily use, because I think Froyo is stable enough (last time I tried the eclair I feel not so stable), and overall it's better than WinMo
So I tried to move few important things that exist on my winmo, and the most important things that I feel is:
- Contact
- Calendar
- SMS
As a newbie I feel it might be useful for those of you who just tried to use android for you Touch HD device, and I will try to share my experience in doing it.
Hopefully useful.
=============================
WinMo - Sync Contacts and Calendar with Gmail account
The first thing need to do is performing synchronization between the existing Calendar and Contacts on winmo with gmail account. If you haven't already, you can follow the steps described here :
http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=138636&topic=14299
It is not so hard to do
WinMo - Backup existing sms
Because I have some important sms messages so I don't want to lose them.
1. Download sms exporter from http://stop3dataroaming.googlecode.com/files/SmsExporterSetup0.5.CAB
2. Create a backup file with sms exporter and store it in the folder <sdcard> / SMSBackupRestore (if this folder is not exist please create it first), and give it the name: mySMS.xml
Installing Android
Install Froyo Android on your device, you can use the steps described on this page:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=732362
And use your gmail account to get all contact and calendar items on android
Froyo - Downloading SMS Backup
Download and install the SMS Backup and Restore app by typing the word SMS Backup and Restore on the android market and select/install the application SMS Backup and Restore by Ritesh Sahu
Froyo - Restore SMS
Run the SMS Backup and Restore app, and click the restore button. There will be a pop up asking you which file to restore and then choose mySMS.xml.
Select OK and then the application will start the restore process.
Froyo - Transferring SMS backup to gmail - optional
Later, once the SMS has been moved to the android, I felt froyo becoming a bit slow (I have about 2300 sms mesages lol), so I decided to move / backup all the SMS to my gmail account.
What you need is only to install the SMS Backup+ by Jan Berkel (just search it on android Market)
And after all sms items uploaded to my gmail account under label SMS,I remove some old messages and then android becomes faster
That's all. Hopefully will help for those of you who tried to install froyo on your Touch HD

There is a way to backup text messages and, if possible, call logs, between Android and WP7? I'm actually keeping these things backupped in Gmail with SMS Backup + for android, but i dunno any Wp7 alternatives.
Can you please help me to find a solution?
Thanks in advance,
Mauro.

that's fine for backup and restore of text messages and contacts.
it doesn't capture call logs tho, restore is fairly easy, but if you must setup and sync all your accounts first, then restore the backup, then delete facebook (if you use it) then restart and setup facebook again.
for some reason my contacts get all messed up if I don't delete and resync my FB contacts when importing backups
If your looking to copy from android to WP7 etc then that might be an issue, if you can edit the vol files created I guess you could then import them in to WP7 but ive looked at the files and you would need a special program to do it also note that MMS messages lose there content, the message is still there but no content. perhaps that's something that can be fixed in future versions as I think the chap who made it is still trying to work out how WP7 stores it all.
Hello,
I have multiple versions of Android on my SD card. I want to get the SMS messages from one of these builds and put them on another one. How do I do that? I cannot find where the SMS messages are stored. Are they stored in the data.ext file? If so, how do I get them off?
Also, is there a way to sync up apps to my Google account? Whenever I get a new build, I have to install all of my apps again. It would be nice if there was one step I could follow to get all of the apps back.

Okay, as to where the texts are stored isn't as easy as just tranfering files is it an option to boot into old build again and use an app from the market to back them up and then restore them on the new build or possibly ( a stretch) back them up to the sim card? As for the apps when I log into the market the first time my apps are always automatically restored ..... If that's not the case then download titanium backup and back them up and then restore the APPS ONLY NOT THE DATA OR YOU WILL EXPERIENCE PROBLEMS ........... hope this helps my friend
Hello
I switch ROMs from time to time and whatsapp is the only app that gives me issues. Sometimes i even flash 3 ROMs in a day. I usually backup my apps using Titanium Backup and restore app+data once on the new ROM. There are times that i only backup whatsapp app+data as there is a 24 hour restriction on re-registering with whatsapp servers ( sms or calls ) . Anyone know a workaround this ?
I usually backup whatsapp app+data and then restore it once on the new ROM. The problem with this is that even though i get my whatsapp data back and apply the required permissions , I am still not able to get push notifications from whatsapp. I have to launch the app to check for new messages. For me to get the push notifications , i have to uninstall the app , reinstall and do the registration again.
Is this tied into Google connectivity services or Android ID as a new one is generated upon the TibU install ? How does everyone else get around this being a flashaholic ? :fingers-crossed:

This is a bug
Happened to me way before
This is what i do
Backup chats within the whatsapp settings (just to be sure if TB gives some prob, can happen so why not take precautions )
Then downlaod whatsapp from play store and restore your data when setting up the device
Or
Backup app+data from TB
Download whatsapp from store
And without opening it go into settings and give all the permissions and then switch to TB select whatsapp and select restore data only
And you should be good to go.
Cheers :highfive:

Thnaks I will follow your method next time , appreciated!
Why dont you just allow Whatsapp to do a backup of your messages (in the middle of the night) and then just use Whatsapp to restore them after you flash your new rom? Do you actually modify a lot of settings in Whatsapp?

Backing up is not the issue , there is a 24 hour limit for registration to whatsapp servers . If SMS is used that option is taken away and then calling option gets available. If that's done too , you have to wait 24 hours
