Threaded SMS (txt) Backup / Restore

[Twinsen]

I'm curious as to the resolutino of this as well. Aren't the texts just stored in a different mail folder under the Windows directory? I remember someone mentioning this when using FunContacts Threaded SMS...

So after about 6 hours of effin with it, I think I figured it out.

Here's what I did.

* Backed up all SMS information via PIM Backup
* Flashed phone.
* Ate a burrito.
* After flash, ensured that threaded SMS was disabled, if not do so and soft reset.
* Restored PIM Backup information.
* Enabled threaded SMS.
* Soft resetededed
* Opened TXT messaging and let it build the conversations.

This is where I kept getting time after time and things wouldn't work right. The flow of the conversation didn't come up correctly. The next step seems to fix them.

* Opened the TXT messaging SENT folder and let it load.

After that, when I went to messaging everything was correct.

Lemme know if this works for other people. I did a LOT of stuff trying to figure this out and it's slightly possible that you'll have to open up your backup file and do a little reordering in it. I don't think that's the file I ended up restoring, but it could have been and once it started working I wasn't going to mess with it anymore.

Bueno Suertes!

I'm working on getting a burrito. In the meantime, where is the setting that can disable threaded SMS? I'm quite stumped.

Here's a fix I found on xda developers:

Hi all,

I have found one reg tweak to disable threaded sms in KAISER forum of xda develpoers .. I tried in ELF and it works like charm..

its

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Setting s\OEM\SMSInboxThreadingDisabled

you need to create OEM key in Settings and create a DWORD SMSInboxThreadingDisabled and set it to 1

reset the device and you are now back to normal SMSs..

It also does not disable SMS notifications..

I searched but didnt found if it is already in forum.. If it is there dont bash me

I think you need something to wash down the burrito with.
