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
I am getting a replacement phone today and I was just wondering if there was a good app that will back up all of my sms messages to my SD card? That way when the new phone comes I can just pop the card in and be on my way.
Doesn't TiBu do this?

Im not sure. I should also note that I am not by any means rooted at all
I've used mybackup pro for years when switching between roms and devices. Between that, titanium backup pro and backing up settings in apex it makes it pretty painless to switch.

Use SMS backup and restore
Sent from my SGH-I897 using xda premium
I use TiBu and I know when I first started using it a couple years ago it didn't back up SMS. It indeed might now, but it's not part of my routine. I only use it for user installed apps and nothing system related as I've screwed up a install with bringing over system data from Eclair to Froyo one time...
Anyway, in the past I used the backup provided in Go Sms, but now they want you to backup and restore to their cloud servers, so I switched to SMS Backup and Restore from the Play store. One button backup...one button restore. Worked like a charm....
I recently followed all of the steps to flash cm7.2 from dragonzkiller and am having trouble restoring my contacts and basically any verizon services and/or apps. Also the only account that I can add is my Google account. I love the look and feel of this mod, however it's useless to me without being able to add all of my accounts and restore my contacts.

Is google safe? Such as the data I store on it and pictures on auto backup?

To a certain extent. I believe you can store up to 500 photos before it starts deleting the oldest one. All other data like calendars and contacts seem pretty secure to me.
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?
Thanks

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.
heres the link to the new hangouts app

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.

Ahhhh. Thanks.
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.
Simple tutorial: Transfer SMS MMS to Nexus 5 Hangouts from other Android Phone
Hope it helps.

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.
