Hi Guys,
Was wondering if anyone knew of a good SMS app (I'm currently using Go SMS Pro) that will back up all settings which can be easily restored after a ROM flash/change.
When I restore Go SMS Pro (using Titanium Backup- with backup apps external data selected) all the settings are gone- most importantly my Quick Text (pre-written SMS responses) are gone.
I'm after an SMS app which is feature rich (Quick Text, Pop Up for new messages, Widget and Delay Send) which is fully restored with Titanium Backup or which allows me to back-up/restore the settings (not just the SMS messages).
Any ideas/suggestions welcome

Hey guys.
Caused by Samsungs GREAT settings to delete SMS in conversations > 200 SMS i have lost 2500 SMS on my GalaxyNote after the first sms restore.
I have a backup of all SMS before the GalaxyNote and would make a backup of today (maybe with another tool which can handle sms which are on my phone twice)
I want to join them together to get all my sms back together.
How can i do this?
First of all: I am currently using this SMS Backup tool:Click
Is there any SMS Backup Tool wich only restores SMS which are NOT on the device? I dont want to have some of my SMS twice on my device.
My Idea was to delete all sms, then i restore the BackupFile from before the GalaxyNote with my SMS Tool right now and then i restore the current backup.
I hope you understand my Situation.
PS: Mixing up both XML BackupFiles is insane because i have 3500+ SMS and they are all numbered consecutively in both files.
Go SMS Pro, has build in backup & restore
and when you restore, it will only restore the missing SMS
on a side note i also use SMS Backup + (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.zegoggles.smssync)
but it will restore everything, causing duplicates
but that's not why i use it, i like that one because it can log calls / times, and SMS to google account and calendar, so it creates a good log of daily use, and tracking, is great for business when you are trying to remember customers calls and when it was done
My Backup is a good app for this

You wont like this, but two considerations:
- The setting remained unchanged, its Google/Android in general, not Samsung
- Its caused by you, by not paying attention, by not being prepared, not by Samsung nor Google.
This post is in no way intended to offend, I just cant stand this spitting around BS because one is enraged bc he fukkered up and blames everyone and everybody except himself. I mean this in a general, not a personal way. But it does touch you slightly, though

I'm on CM10 Robert Burns build i was wondering if i can save some text messages and have them transfer to a different ROM jellybean based of course.
you can use sms to text app from play store, its free
you can export the sms to text then import them back using the same app
I use that for backup my sms
Or if you are rooted then use Titanium BAckup
In my phone, messages like offers/reminders from various organizations are clubbed together as "Notifications" under the "Messaging" app. All other messages (SMS/text) sent by actual people are directly under "Messaging" app.
All SMS/text message backup apps that I have tried, do not consider/detect the "Notification" messages as SMS/text. So these messages are never backup up.
Is there any app that does so?
Ok. Titanuim backup seems to recognize them as MMS.
It is backed up by Titanium in the binary files mmssms.db and mmssms.db-journal
How do I back them up in Gmail as individual messages under a folder?
Pixel 2 Running Android 8.1 with March security update, Build# OPM1.171019.021
Using Magisk v 14.2 - works perfectly
Default SMS app is Android (Google) messages, I also have following SMS related apps installed:
Textra, Titanium Backup, SMS Backup & Restore; all have the correct permission in settings (SMS, storage).
In settings the only app that is displayed as an option for SMS is Google Messages, I can't switch to SMS Backup & Restore to restore messages or to Textra, which I've used previously.
I'd like to restore some SMS that I have backed up and switch back to Textra, but that's impossible if I can't choose a different SMS app as the default.

What happens when you open textra and just click use as default sms?
When you open textra and select "make default app" it opens the settings window for default SMS app, but textra is NOT a choice, only Google Messages is, so in effect, nothing happens, Google Messages remains the default SMS app

No issues on P, can't speak to 8.1
Default App Manager works in 8.1. (I only have Gallery and Hangouts, but I can choose either one.) It's under Messages.
Problem solved, I uninstalled all sms apps, then reinstalled them, now they show up as alternative sms apps.
I'm moving from a Note 4 to the Pixel 3. I've got most data transferred, but there is a problem with group text messages.
I'm using the stock Android Messages app on both phones.
I used MyBackupPro to save and restore the messages. It appears to mostly work, but for group conversations, only the parts I sent are part of the restored conversation. Other non-group texts and MMS contain both sides of conversations.
Is there a different approach I should use to correctly transfer my SMS and MMS data?
I used SMS Backup & Restore, but I do note have group texts, so cannot confirm it would work.
Been using SMS backup and restore with a combination of Titanium Backup for years. Works 99% of the time. There is a new app called Migrate. Does it all in one with a flash able zip in TWRP for restore. Haven't actually used it but, looks promising.
Thanks for the replies.
I repeated the transfer using Titanium Backup. This method worked correctly, so apparently the issue is with MyBackup Pro.
