Does anybody know how to restore old SMS messages from their old phone (a Nexus 4 btw) to my new nexus 5?
On your old N4
GOTO Play
Install 'SMS Backup+'
Backup SMS to your Gmail
Now install app on new N5
Restore SMS to new N5

weird. SMS back up and restore isn't working for me...
SMS Backup+ is a quite slow to backup so i'm still waiting to see if that work.
Titaniun Backup isn't working either.
Any other options guys?
did you use the latest version of sms backup and restore? cos it didn't work for me then they updated it and worked fine.

I loaded team wiskeys rom and everything worked great. Then I tried to restore only data from my backup and now whenever I try to launch the phone it says app is not installed on your phone. I have no contacts etiher. Also when I try to sync only contacts with Gmail it falls. Facebook & Gmail sync still work but contacts won't. I'm coming from cm7 and wanted to try this rom for a few days. Like I said everything works fine until I restore the data part of my backup. Any suggestions?

Has anyone done a nandroid restore on their ns4g? I did it yesterday and a known functional backup had all kinds of problems with gmail sync -- couldn't send gmail from phone, messages deleted on phone weren't being deleted on server, unread count was off. Had to wipe user data and use titanium to restore apps and data.
Anyway wondering if anyone else has had this problem and if its an issue with cwm on our devices.
Btw was using the stock rooted rom and stock kernel.

Usually for that you just have to go to Menu >Manage apps > Gmail > Clear data. For next time.

Hey guys I own a g2x and have it rooted and roms and such so I am comfortable with flashing recovery and roms but she is not rooted right now so how can I back up her contacts and apps. will titanium backup still work? Thanks

Contacts should be stored on the gmail account. If not then do that first.
To backup apps use a program called backup program and restore. Does not require root.
Also apps do backup on the Google account as well.

Hi all
I just get my new nexus 7. Know I'm trying to sync the app data of some games from my nexus 4 to the nexus 7. Both devices are rooted. I tried it with helium backup and with datasync, but nothing works. Helium says error when I try to restore data. And datasync says sync compete but it isn't working.
Please help me, it's really annoying!
Thanks in advance

hey guys need some help.
Trying a different ROM, one which did not come with messages, but Hangouts. I have titanium backup of messages.apk. Can I restore them to hangouts?
Or can someone post messages.apk ans i/s on how to install it.
thanks!
Should be the same data for both, so yes restored hangout.

Are you wanting to restore your messages to the Rom with hangouts as the defaults? Or are you ranging a separate sms app? I didn't like just hangouts as defaults so I got a zip for a separate default messaging that's native. I'm not sure I understood your question.
