everytime I have to re-sync my contacts to my phone, I lose all of my ringtone settings for individual contacts. Is there an app that will back those up and restore them? If not, can anyone make one?
at the very least, can anyone tell me where those settings are stored in the file system, so I can back them up using my root privileges?
thanks
Almost a year ago and no response. Is there really no way to backup ringtone settings in contacts?
Check out VIP PIM Ringtone
You tried with Titanium Backup?

I use the Speed Dial function on my 750 but I notice that after I have to do a reset that I lose all my entries and have to re-create them individually. Are these entries stored somewhere on the file system or in the registry so that I can make a backup and restore when needed?
Also, I have the same question about SMS conversations and the ability to restore them after a hard reset?
TIA.
I want to save the SMS messages to my sim, I am changing ROM once in a while and I don't want the SMS messages to be deleted each time I upgrade.
Is there a way to save the SMS on SIM or memory card ?
PIM Backup will save your text messages an emails recent calls ect to your memory card.Just install it on your new rom and you can restore them all.
Thanks for the quick respond
After you flash a new ROM, but BEFORE you restore your PIM backup, make sure you don't have messaging enabled on your home screen - otherwise it will look like you've lost half of your messages after they've been restored. They are still there, they just won't show up in the threaded view. So, if the ROM you choose has the HTC Home or TouchFlo plugin enabled, go to start menu/settings/today/items tab and uncheck HTC Home or TouchFlo (I make sure everything is unchecked except the date plugin) then do the PIM restore. When it's done, go back an uncheck the date plugin and re-check either HTC Home or TouchFlo and you should now be able to click on messaging and see both sides of your conversations in threaded view.
Does anyone know of a way to back up just the settings in Handcent SMS? This way I won't have to re-set all of the numerous settings in this app after a hard reset. I'm not interested in backing up anything else except just the settings for just this program. Any ideas? Help is much appreciated!
HI!
I'm interested too in a solution for that. If anyone can help we are much appreciated
Backing Up Handcent Settings, etc.
You can do that through Handcent now along with backing up your SMS and MMS messages.
In Handcent go to Menu>Settings>Account
You need to set up an online Handcent account and there is a very small annual charge - like $5 or so.
Once your account is set up you can backup and restore Settings, Themes, and all your messages.
It is so worth a couple bucks a year. For how often I'm always trying different ROMs and things I never have to reconfigure it or lose messages since I just backup before flashing and then restore.
thanks for any help
you have a gmail account?
Consider running something like SMS Backup + by Jan Berkel
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.zegoggles.smssync&feature=search_result
it will back up your SMS messages to labels in your gmail account... You can also restore to phone after wipe if needed.
It has worked pretty well for me. i.e. I haven't noticed any issues with it, and I can view my backed up SMS messages up in my Gmail account on my PC if/when needed.
While it says it can backup (but not restore) MMS messages, I don't get enough Pix messages to know how that works. Nor do I have it backup call log entries.
Hey thanks for this. Now I'll just back up my SMS before flashing and then restore them after flashing.
Ok i have a question. Yesterday i flashed a a different ROM but before i did that i did a titanium backup of all my Data and my Apps Then i flashed the new ROM then i restored all the Data. But after i did the restore and rebooted my SMS Texts were gone. But all of my contacts were still there. Is there a way to restore the lost texts or am i out of luck?

As one7dchevy already stated, SMS Backup and Restore is a great app (which is also free) to use for saving your SMS when switching ROMs. You can also use Backup to GMail, which not only backs up SMS, but will also backup MMS and your Call Log if you don't mind the $1.99 fee (a bargain in my book).
I had the same thing happen when using TiBu but they showed up a lil later, I think after a reboot.

That is what usually happens after i restore the data. I do a reboot then then all my texts would all be there
