For some time, I was looking for a solution.
Found some programs that export ALL messages to a TXT file,
mostly BACKUP ones.
None had option to export "conversation" like Leo displays.
None had option to export just one or some.
So, to You, programers, could You develop a program that shows all conversations that you have, with option to select one, some, all and export them to a TXT files?
It would be nice if it was not a single TXT file, just one for conversation.
It wold also be nice if in TXT file all conversation was in Leo style, and all contact data who writes was only on top, once, not every sms message in conversation.
Of course, nothing is for free, donation will be given
I am using Smsm-chat from vito. They have backup in one of their setting which will export all sms into a text file to your storage
...like I said, and like programs I already found, in TXT file exported is mess.
It would be nice if there was program that let us export just one conversation

er...that's it really. I'm curious as to which database holds the SMS's that come in. Is it one DB per folder (i.e., inbox, deleted items, etc) or does one database take care of all SMS's?
Thanks.
It's quite hard to find out, and it involves using a program like Pocket dbExplorer.
They are held in a system database, though in my experience it is never the same name from one installation to the next. A good way to look is to look at the number of messages in your sms inbox, then look for a folder (usually one of the larger ones) that has the same record count. The messages are stored in the expected way: fields for date, time, sender, message content etc. Depending on the program you use you can export or back up the table, but AFAIK they are all cross referenced and won't work 100% as before should you try to restore them after, say, a hard reset. You would also need to rename the table when restoring as it won't be the same any longer.
As far as SMSs YOU'VE sent, the process is much the same. However, this table appears even further cross referenced as even when you restore it and rename / overwrite it, the messages themselves are missing with only the headers showing in your Sent Items. If someone has a way to more effectively back up the texts (without using SMS Save or whatever it's called) then I'd be interested to know.

Export SMS/MMS/Email messages onto Storage Card
Hi,
Have you tried this one:

Hey everyone,
I've wondering this for a long time and couldn't find a solution to my problem. I have samsung i780 and have upgraded it to windows mobile 6.1. It comes with the SMS displayed as a chat conversation, which is neat. I want to backup all these conversations, as they are.
When I try most SMS backup software,(like iMobile SMS backup or Godswmobile SMS transfer) they backup all the messages, but they don't save it in a conversation way. They split them into sent or received smses, and its really hard to make sense of things and its tiresome.
Is there any software that can save the entire conversation as they are displayed in wm6.1? (i.e sent-received-sent-received etc)
Or at least someone can think of in this way:
In the conversation window, I can select all, and then copy the messages to Microsoft word or Note. The problem is, it shows very few messages at a time(as the screen is small, so only like 7 or 8 are displayed at a time), and I have to keep clicking on 'Older' to go to the very first sms, which is like a 1000 click before. And its tiresome to copy/paste it in the word, and if one small error, you are pushed back to the very recent sms chat.
Cant I just access the main html/xml file on the mobile where all of this is stored? Anyone knows how to retrieve the file where all your SMS chat/conversation is saved?
Thanks
Okay, I found the software.
Jeyo Software is the one. God, I wish I had known such a software existed before. Its just beautiful.
One more thing, any idea how to restore contacts that were saved as .xml?
Thankx
I would like to know if there is a way to backup and export selective sms strings?
Say I just want to export one string of MSG and then add it to another phone.
Therefore, I will be exporting selective msg from selective telephone numbers.
Kind of like exporting, only one contact at a time
Is that possible?
Thanks
I'd like to see my SMS conversations separated by contact (not just by number) on desktop. I'd rather not import all those old SMS into my new phone, but I'd like to archive them. I would not want to have everyone I used to text with as contact on the new phone. Therefore in the messagning app there would not even be names for them.
Every solution I found just creates one single big file (database, excel, xml, html, whatever), but it's often way too big, ugly, people merged, contact names not resolved, conversation means something entirely different. Is there a way to create many small files for everyone I have a conversation with? If not, this is a business gap.
Hello dear XDAers,
try my luck here:
Since a family member died, I'm trying to preserve the memories of it and extract WhatsApp voice messages in a way that makes listening to them as easy as possible - ideally as it is presented in WhatsApp itself.
I have already moved WhatsApp to another rooted device.
What I don't want is a chat history with "11:19: voicemessage....opus" where I then have to manually go to each file in File Explorer.
In fact, it's pretty much exclusively voice messages with a little bit of pictures.
I have now installed WhatsApp in a VM, which works so far.
However, I have made the experience that WhatsApp at some point asks for an update or stops the service if, for example, the date of the VM is not correct.
Then I have to set up the whole thing again - even worse, if then the phone number should no longer be available.
The best thing would be a program that extracts the WA data (however, e.g. by pushing an old version) and then creates an HTML file or displays the chat history in the program itself in a WhatsApp style.
In any case, the voice messages would have to be embedded.
It may also cost something.
With the usual suspects such as from Mobiletrans, however, I have found no documentation on how the messages are displayed or only documentation in which the voice messages were then stored in a separate folder.
Thank you very much
