How do I back up my text msg so when I flash a new Rom I don't loose them

Search the Marketplace under SMS Backup, or just backup.

I use spritebackup (Free) which was posted somewhere in this forum. You just cannot upgrade to the new version without paying $5.

EDIT: I have attached the Spritebackup I used.

Search the market for "My Backup" It can back up your:

Call History
SMS/MMS
Contacts if you save them locally
Calendar
and more

It also can back up your home screens, settings, and apps but I don't recommend doing that since it usually causes some problems.

All can be backed up on their servers or on your SD card. I would recommend using your SD Card.

Don't forget to reinstall "My Backup" after you flash your phone so you can do a restore.

Have fun.

You know there is a thanks button you can press for them if they help you...

And I use Titanium backup, it backs up pretty much everything including system settings and such.

Mystery, where have you been? I used to use your Roms all the time. I still think they were the best. Do you plan on coming out with an EVO rom?

Mystery,

You might want to mention that the only way to use Titanium is to be rooted.

I doubt it, I am still new to android, I just know the basics. Besides, I really like flipzmode's style, so as long as he keeps making ROMs for the EVO, I don't think I will be making any.

True, but since he mention he would be flashing a ROM, I assumed he was rooted.

If your NOT rooted, then MyBackup (the free version) works perfectly for sms backup.

Hmm...I did a Ti backup and restore and it didn't get my sms texts...wth? Anything in particular I have to do? It also didn't restore my contacts.

Would love some help.
