Nexus 4 is using the Messaging app, and the Nexus 5 is using the Hangouts app.
How do you backup your SMS on Nexus 4 and then restore it to Nexus 5 Hangouts?

Are you 100% certain of that? Hangouts may not store the texts the same way. In fact, the developer put the following note on the Play Store:
NOTE: I don't have a KitKat device yet to test this thoroughly, please contact me if you face any issues.
In other words, nobody knows for certain if it'll work. Not being able to backup my SMS would be crap.

If you check out the reviews, people are confirming that it works on 4.4
heres the easiest way, install the new hangouts app on your nexus 4 with your sim card still on it, make sure you enable sms on it, and it transfers everything over to hangouts.

Well, this topic is focusing on Nexus 4 to Nexus 5, but what about other phones?
I'm currently on a Galaxy S4...which means I have no access to the new Hangouts app (or background integrations). How do I get the SMS into the new one.

Ahh, I didn't realize someone had sent out the APK that worked with non-rooted phones! Did this last night and it worked great. It took a few min to figure out how to successfully get them to sync up (for some reason it wouldn't delete conversations...but then after a few minutes they started disappearing lol).
Looks like I'm ready Thanks all!
I installed Hangouts on my N4 and got that working. Then today I got my N5. Shouldn't the SMS messages automatically appear on the N5 (are they stored in my profile) or do I need to do something to get them to appear?
Thanks!

Same here. My SMS messages were showing in Hangouts on my Nexus 4 but there isn't anything showing on my Nexus 5 now my sim is back in that phone.
SMS messages are NOT stored into your Google account, they still are in the phone.
You have to backup then with SMS Backup&Restore and then restore them on the Nexus 5.

Here is what I did to get them transferred off my Galaxy Nexus running 4.3
Using Titanium Backup on Galaxy Nexus, I backed up Phone/Messaging Storage 4.... (SMS/MMS/APN)
Copied the three files to my Nexus 5 and restored data only using Titanium Backup.
This is after I initialized hangouts so that hangouts was already the default messaging app.
SMS and MMS with pictures are showing up.

Easy, backup SMS as an xml file with Titanium Backup, upload to a cloud acct like google drive or dropbox, then install the same apps on the new phone, download that xml and restore your SMS via Titanium Backup

Or download Backuptrans Android SMS + MMS Transfer on your computer and then connect both your Nexus 4 and Nexus 5 to the software via USB. Then you can move the messages (both sms and mms) from nexus 4 to nexus 5 by clicking the Transfer button. Easy to finish.

Is (was) your Galaxy Nexus rooted? If so, would Titanium Backup be able to backup the SMS on an unrooted Nexus 4? It is my understanding that to root a N4, one needs to unlock the bootloader. Unlocking the bootloader will wipe the phone. Not a desirable action for me.

Both were rooted. There are some good apps out now that handle it. SMS Backup & Restore works at backing up MMS. You have to go into the options to turn it on though. That's what worked for me going from my 5 to my 5x.

Hey everyone so I've been using 4.1.2 roms for quite sometime but visiting various 4.2.1 roms once in a while. But after finding my perfect ROM to switch over I want to switch over my messages too, but so far no apps I use work. Is there a work around? I tried SMS backup and restore, saves XML files to your SD, and I tried SMS backup, which saves your messages to your gmail. Both after restoring your messages stop at the loading conversations in any messaging app. Is there anyway to transfer my 9000+ messages? Thanks

Right on, I hear u
... But having ur phone with that many SMS on its SMS app will slow ur phone soooo much since it has to read them.
That is why I prefer Google voice Apk. It will never slow down my phone but I know where to find them when I need them. And I can access them on any PC.
I use since I was a flash-aholic and I kept missing SMS and voicemails. So now its just a life saver.
I wish u luck on ur task.
Take care

Solved for me!
I discovered it is only a matter of time, BIG time.
I let the message list window open (the one that couldn't load any messages) and I went to bed.
After several hours everything was in place. Fortunately!
Hope this is going to be useful to others psychotics as well.
Cheers
Thanks, im goign to test that solution, i did the same, a backup of a LOT of sms, and when i did a Helium restore, the sms app is just showing "loading conversations".
I will update this, when i tested it.
UPDATE:
Indeed you just have to wait, until all the sms load correctly. In my case (SG3) it took me just 1 hour.

I wonder if we would have to wait until the makers of SMS backup and restore update to support it. If they do. (I hope so...that's one of the most used apps on my phone.)
Also I was wondering how now works the backup&restore SMS apps...
I've more than 5000 SMS witht he stock SMS app on my Galaxy Nexus, always backed up and restored when wiping, changing ROm etc... now with Hangouts how works?
I've messaged the SMS Backup & Restore developers so hopefully they'll be looking into it.

I'm in the same boat: created a backup on old 4.3 phone with the new SMS Backup and Restore app, restored it on Nexus 5 (again with the new version of SMS Backup and Restore) but I see no messages in Hangouts. Definitely had SMS B+R set as the default SMS app during the restore.

Forget my previous post - just worked out how to force Hangouts to see the new messages.
The key step is to open Hangouts while SMS B+R is set as the default SMS app. This forces it to remove any SMS threads it knows about. Exit the app, set Hangouts as default again, and reopen it - it will refresh its thread list.
Hooray!
I will be upgrading to the Nexus 5 from an iPhone 4.
Is there any way to port over all my old SMS?
I have heard before that HTC had a way of bringing all that data from an Apple phone.

The only issue with this method is that you lose any messages that you've received before restoring as Hangouts must make it's own database that's separate to the mmssms.db.

Can you please explain better for who has a lower knowing of english language, please? XD
I managed to get Hangouts to see my restored SMSes, and thankfully it's really easy to do and doesn't require any other apps or updates to work. After restoring you SMSes, go into Hangouts and then into settings and turn SMS off. This will remove all SMS threads from Hangouts (but they will still be on your phone and accessible using other SMS apps). Close Hangouts then open it again and turn SMS back on, and it will find all the SMS threads on your phone, including those that were restored from a backup. Easy!
Note: this was on a HTC One where Hangouts isn't the default SMS app, I presume disabling SMS in Hangouts won't delete all your SMS threads permanently on a Nexus 5 but exercise some caution until someone confirms that this works fine on a Nexus 5.
I'm also thinking maybe a good plan would be to install a 3rd-party SMS client in order to monitor what has actually been placed into SMS storage or not. Now SMS is a nice clean-looking client. If you have any existing SMS on your device already before restoring from your old device, install an extra client and switch that to the default. See if your messages appear in that client. If not, disable SMS in Hangouts and check again.

Good to know. I used to use mysms but I found it to have a lot of odd behaviours. Sometimes it would stop syncing, and then if I forced it to resync, it would proceed to destroy all the date stamps on my message history for about 20 minutes while it rifled through them. Usually everything went back to normal eventually, but it was really disruptive.

No, not rooted at all yet, may have to if it means I can use the old messaging app instead of hangouts
I don't have mine yet nor a proper solution. I plan on trying by switching off SMS in hangouts, downloading a 3rd party SMS app then restore my old sms/mms then switch back to hangouts. Maybe that would work?
You can install some SMS application from Play store and restored SMSs will be there. Not sure about the possibility to viewing old SMSs in hangouts.

I just used titanium backup to restore hangouts data from my nexus 4 onto my 5, worked fine.
If you don't have your texts in hangouts on the s4 then download the new hangouts apk and it should transfer texts when it sets up the sms functionality.
There's also an app called sms backup and restore which was updated for kit kat so that might work too.
SMS Backup and Restore worked fine for me (well, for SMS, it doesn't do MMS, but I don't care about them).
SMS might be in Hangouts now, but the message store is unchanged.

I've now had a similar success, but it was a bit more involved for me. I installed gosms on both devices (using a Tiberium Backup for the N5) but this did not work.
The method I used was to create a backup on the N4 using gosms, then copying the folder it to my N5 via Dropbox. I then restored the messages and opened Hangouts, and made it my default sms app. Gosms is now deleted and Hangouts appears to be restored and working fine.

Hi guys,
Can you please confirm what I should backup from the 4.3 rom AFTER transferring sms & mms to hangouts. Is it the hangouts app & data or just the sms/mms data.
Also I know that titanium can change the data format it uses for sms/mms. I think I normally have this set a 'prefer xml' or something. Is this correct for transferring to 4.4?

yes you wanna back up your rom and hangouts app after hangouts transfered your sms. i also deleted my stock mms apk for good measure. TB backup saves your mms as an xml file and i had no issues restoring. if you just care about sms and not your pictures, sms backup from the play store works just as well and is a bit faster

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.
I am S-off and running my phone stock with root.
I've never had luck with backing up the Messages app so I'm asking for help.
I use Titanium Back up Pro. I also use Hangouts for SMS. Do I just backup the Messages app and hangouts? And then restore with data if I choose to run another stock ROM?
I'm thinking about Clean ROM or Bone stock. I like Sense and I like the stock feel. The only thing I really want is for my music that's on my SD card to play...
Anyway, anyone have luck keeping texts backed up? I need it for work...usually I've never cared about saving texts.
Thank you.

I use SMS Backup & Restore for my backups. I usually don't restore any of them, just keep a running archive.
I came from an AOSP room to the M8. On my old phone I started using SMS backup/restore but soon realized it wasn't saving my MMSs. Since then I started using restoring with the titanium SMS/MMS backup xml it was already making and it works just fine for me. Even from AOSP to stock Sense to Viper.

Sms backup restore does exactly that. It backs up and restores your SMSs (text only messages). The titanium sms/mms xml option also restores my mms messages which conserves any pictures that were "texted" (read, mms) to me as well.
