Hi,

There is my second post about Android Backup on my way to upgrade my OnePlus X from OxygenOS to CM14.

In the first part, we talk about Contact Backup, for the second part, we going to talk about SMS / MMS / Phone call historic backup :-)

SMS / MMS / Phone call log Backup - SMS Backup+

For the sms backup a recommend to use this OpenSource app : SMS Backup+

The concept of this app is simple, it’s use an IMAP Server for backup / restore all sms on your device.

Here some features provide by SMS Backup+ extract from the GitHub app:

• New restore feature. SMS stored on Gmail can be transferred back to the phone. This even works for users who have already created their backups with older versions of SMS Backup. Note: MMS are currently not restored.
• XOAuth: SMS Backup+ will never ask you for your Gmail password. Instead it uses XOAuth to get access to your data. You can revoke the access rights at any time.
• MMS backup support (since 1.1), only available on Android 2.x
• Call log backup (since 1.2), with Google Calendar integration (since 1.3.) and restore (since 1.4).
• Batch size limits removed.
• Works with any IMAP server (but defaults to Gmail).

Backup Items
