Text messages are stored here: /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases. Move SQL database and it's journal to the same directory on the new device.

[Q] mms?

I just bought a Nexus 5 two days ago and I will not be getting a sim card for this phone. I am just going to be using this phone to call over wifi and text over wifi. I have already set up a Google Voice number and everything to do it with. I just had one question. IK Google voice won't support it but is there an app I can get or something that will allow me to send and recive pictures or videos to/from my contacts. Please reply quickly because the Nexus 5 is probably going to be here in a couple of days!
Thanks for posting a question in the general thread. On top of that not searching either. This has been answered plenty of times.

If your contacts use Hangouts, then you can just share via Hangouts which comes pre-installed on the phone. Otherwise, you'll need to use the same service as your friends if you want to send pictures over WiFi (WhatsApp, Viber, etc.)

ok thank you so much. Unlike the other guy who was being a complete di**
Right now some third party apps like sliding messenger can do mms and testing through your gvoice number. Your real issue will be when Google pulls that api next year.

Issues receiving Group Texts

So I am new to this whole hangouts thing but I am on Nexus 5 so hoping I can get some help here. I am just really used to the AOSP SMS app.
I have been in a group text with 3 friends for about 2 months ago.
Now on Nexus 5 whenever I get a group chat from one of them, it just shows in their individual thread instead of a group thread like it did in the old SMS app.
In Hangouts go into Settings > SMS and make sure "Group Messaging" is checked.
What phones are your friends using?

SMS app for secret messages like MIUI SMS App

Hi guys, how are you all.
I am using Xiaomi Redmi Nite 4 with MIUI 9. In SMS app we can mark secret contacts and whenever these secret contacts will message you these messages will not appear in sms inbox instead we have to tap from search bar to down followed by the pin or pattern in order to access the secret messages. By this way no one can see the messages and the secret messages will recieve and stored.
Since tomorrow onwards I'll be shifting to Galaxy Note 5 device so I will badly miss this feature. Pls confirm on the following;
- Is there any way, if we could install xiaomi sms app in Note 5
- or is there any third party app which allows its users to get the sms from secret contacts in some personal inbox hidden somewhere in phone.
Please i need expert opinions.. thanks.
-Akkay
