How I move my data in HTC Hero(GSM) such as SMS MMS Calendar to Nexus S

Calendar is synced in the cloud with google. but as far as SMS and MMS their are apps on the market that will do that for you.
App Data like game saves and app settings will be lost unless your hero is rooted and u can pull it off the /data/ portion

App Data = Titanium Backup (Recommend.. you get Pro if you don't have it already)

My Hero was rooted, but Nexus S didn't root,what best choice SMS+MMS backup app

SMS Backup + by Jan berkel is a good choice

There aren't really any good apps for restoring MMS from what I've searched. Most of the good ones say "MMS not supported" or "MMS restore not supported." Your best bet is using a root application such as Titanium Backup to restore all the MMS.

If you need to store sms in a safe place and don't need it on your phone you should hit the market and get sms backup. It wil take all your sms and store them to your gmail account in the event you need them.

Thank for SMS backup application name,I already backup&restore it.
I have one more question
which application that use for backup other data such as calendar,contact.
I want to use backup application, because I have some problem with calendar sync.
For this problem please look in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=914930

After TB loads goto the back/restore tab, click the app you want & restore (data only if the app is already installed). For Gmail you should have everything synced when you add your gmail acount to your phone.

Titanium can backup sms and other user data. They are in green.
•[CONTACTS/CALLS] Contacts Storage 2.2 - this stores Call History
•[SMS/MMS/APN] Dialer Storage 2.2 - this stores SMS/Text Messages
•[BOOKMARKS] Internet 2.2 - this stores the brower's settings and bookmarks
Pulled this info from here.

Not sure of MMS messages since they are downloaded to the SD card.
I also recommend SMS Backup +
I recommend (and develop) http://www.bloove.com
I use both SMS Backup + and Go SMS. Go SMS backs up and restores SMS messages on the phone and SMS Backup + backs them up to my gmail account.

I've always used SMS Backup & Restore from the market, never had a problem with it and it's quick, even when you have 5,000+ texts to backup/restore.

go SMS has an integrated backup feature

I use this app for my daughter's phone. I don't care if mine get erased. For the number of her texts to restore, it takes quite a while for the phone to be usable because it takes a while for the message database to stabilize. But, it works.
I use SMS Backup +.

Works great.
Automatically backup SMS, MMS and call log entries using a separate label in Gmail / Google Calendar. It is also possible to restore SMS and call log entries back to the phone (MMS not supported yet).

You can configure it to backup automatically, once an hour, once a day, etc. I set it for once a day so it doesn't tax my battery usage all the time.
It backs up to a free online account.

I've been using this one also for over a year. I love how it backs up to my Gmail so that 1) I never lose my texts and 2) I can search through them in Gmail if I need to. It works great to restore and I haven't ever lost any when switching between roms or different phones. It also backs up my phone call log to Gmail.

This is what I use as I prefer to have a local backup vs cloud based (data privacy reasons).

I back my dialer storage up via TiBu, but it's only safe if you're returning to the same base or at least same android version. It backs up SMS/MMS and everything. I however use SMS Backup/Restore for everything else.

Might be helpful but there is an app that does this and saves it as a text or xml file but cant think of the name sorry.
Edit, here you go SMS and Calls.
good enough for me; as long those logs stays on the phone/computer and are compatible with both ICS and JB this deserve a big thanks from me

How to restore SMS from Titanium backup from G2 to N5?

Hey guys,
I cannot seem to get this to work. Even when I install an AOSP rom with an SMS app and Hangouts not activated- I cannot restore my Titanium backup of the SMS messages from my G2, and my G2 is gone so I only have the TiBu to restore. Has anybody gotten this to work?
thanks,
AC

AFAIK, there is no way to do that yet. You are essentially want to restore a db from one app to a completely different app. Doesn't work that way. Google would have to write a utility to extract the info from the sms database & then import it into Hangouts. I do not know of any way to do it currently, aside from manually entering the data into the hangouts db.
If it makes you feel any better, I couldn't restore my SMS messages from my Moto X onto my Nexus 5 with Helium. I just had to start over.
Edit: BTW, I was running the Hangouts v2 apk on my Moto X for my SMS, so it was the same Hangouts app that came loaded onto the Nexus 5. It still would not restore the texts.
Use SMS Backup and Restore as it can restore the SMS to hangouts app which is the new default. I had helium before and couldn't restore it, finally this app did the trick.!!
Hope this helps.
Go SMS has a backup option where it does it to their server then you can restore them on another device when you sign in on it.

MyBackup Pro Beta worked for me:
https://www.rerware.com/Android-Backup/MyBackupPro402beta.apk
I backed up from the old messaging app locally, transferred the 'rerware' folder, and restored to the new hangouts. I had to reboot to see the messages in hangouts. MMS and SMS both worked.
