About

I am not the original author of this program, it was created by computerjunkie. He graciously posted the source code when he stopped development, so I picked up where he left off. The original thread can be found here.

Cloud SMS Backup reads your SMS account and backs up the conversations by emailing them to an account of your choice. You can have them sent as separate emails each containing one of your conversations, or have all your conversations zipped up into one email. It also gives the options to empty your SMS account after backing up to prevent the slowdowns of having too many messages.

Requirements

This requires .NET CF 3.5.

Thanks go out to

computerjunkie for creating the original version

eboelzner for the sense UI

mohitsapru for the inspiration

Change Log

v1.2.1 8/22/10

Added support for localization. Will load a translation matching the devices language setting, and will fall back to English if it's unavailable. See below for instructions on how to create a translation.

Does not properly backup MMS messages yet, but will note that one was sent/received in the conversation.

Fixed another bug that caused backups to fail under certain circumstances

v1.2 8/21/10

First release by me.

Fixed several bugs that caused crashing.

Added option to send as one zip file.

Removed serialized backup file (since there was no way to restore from it). May be added back in a future version once restoring is complete.

Added option to save messages from the last three days when clearing SMS account after backup.

For past releases, see computerjunkie's original thread here.

Future Plans

Scheduling - automatically back up

MMS support - backup pics/videos that were sent

Restore - ability to restore from created backups

Have a suggestion? Let me know

Translations

Available languages

English (included)

Dutch (see attached nl.zip) Thanks mike2nl and LinusN

How to create a translation

Download the attached en.ini file.

Open in a text editor and translate everything after the '='. Do not change anything on the left side of the = or the translation will not work right.

Save the file with a name based on the ISO 639-1 language code (ex. en.ini for English, de.ini for German, es.ini for Spanish, etc).

Put in the application folder (\Program Files\CloudSMSBackup). The program will automatically use it if your device is set to that language.

Please post your translation if you create one so I can include it in the next release.

Hi ken52787,

good to see that someone have picked up the good project. I hope that you have also a great success as computerjunkie. So i will test this, because i use the older version :).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ImmortalZ:
Hi,

I have a Samsung B7320. I installed .NET 3.5 CF and the app opens up alright. But I can't scroll through the UI or interact with the program at all. Am I missing something? Does it work with touchscreen equipped phones only?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ken52787:
Yes, it was designed for touchscreen phones. Adding support for non-touch devices shouldn't be hard, I just never thought of it before now :confused:

That'll be on my to do list for next release
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ImmortalZ:
Thank you. :) Looking forward to the next release.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mike2nl:
And here the dutch translation from the en.ini = nl.ini

EDIT 1:

nl.ini changed bacause 2 mistakes.

EDIT 2:

test is done and it is working. Great function and please hold the development up.

EDIT 3:

two screenshots added. One before and one after the process.

The yellow marked range is something for the about button, i think.

Possible you can make a menu button (bottom - right) with

backup and about selection...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] computerjunkie:
Great Work!

I just want to say that I am very happy that someone decided to take up and continue this project. Great work.

Thank you for the credit in the opening post and the app. That was very considerate of you. :)

I'll keep monitoring the thread because I love seeing the progress. Great job again!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mike2nl:
And here the GTX icon for Cloud SMS. I hope someone need it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] LinusN:
System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException

and were stuck again LOL :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mike2nl:
In your error message i have found that:

dutch - Heb jij dit gedan?

wwe - Do you have done this?

Download the file and install it. Possible then you will have more details in the error message to help the OP.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] LinusN:
NL: dan is dit de boodschap dat ik krijg na Failure bij 45%

EN: Than this is the message i receive after Failure @ 45%

this is a message from a HTC TYTN

next i'll upload the message for a HTC Touch Pro 2 :-)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] LinusN:
--> as promissed the message on the HTC Touch Pro 2

(i have censored the phonenumber) but i guess the name is to long or something like that...

ow ... i see ... if you have a "\" in the name he cant resolve the name (= looking for a folder ...) i'll try again :-)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] LinusN:
nice it works :-P

so check that there is no \ in one of your contacts

some remarks for the new release:

- the textfilename = FirstnameLastname.txt (maybe better if it's Firstname_Lastname.txt)

- makes separate files for inbox and sent items... would be splendid if he recognizes that it's the same file and mixes the send and received files in 1

also uploaded the reviewed Dutch "language pack" :-)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] LinusN:
disregard remark number2 ... for some reason i have different conversation for 1 and the same person...

it seams some of the numbers are written +32 4*** and +324***

the program doesn't filter out the " " to make it one and the same file ...

that's the trouble with 1009 contacts and several switches of mobile + contact updates...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ken52787:
Thanks for all the responses LinusN. I will make changes to help remedy the problems you're having.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mike2nl:
Hi Linus,

thanks for the NL review. I live now 10 years in the netherlands but not all is perfect. I help where i can. I hope it was not to much work. And it was optimized for the screen. Will check it now.

EDIT:

nl.ini with 3 bytes difference :).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] LinusN:
not that many mistakes :)

think the only thing that doesn't really fit the size =

"Ruim SMS-account op na back-up"

if you want you can change it for instance to

"SMS-account legen na back-up"

maybe it fits better ;-)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Neoconair:
Great app, only problem is some of my conversations have been split into two, with separate threads for +44 and 0 prefixes for the same numbers (similar to a problem posted above I believe).

Anything I can do to fix this?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ken52787:
Here's a status update: I'm hard at work making some major modifications to the program. I'm hoping to have the new version out in the next few days (will probably be this weekend sometime).

I won't make promises as to whats going to be included since I'm not sure what I'll have working 100% by the next release but I attached a few screen shots so you can at least see what I'm working on.

I also attached a new translation file that includes everything I'm working on and even a few features that I'm planning for down the road. Hopefully some folks can translate and get it to me in time for the release so they're included by default.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ken52787:
That will (hopefully) be fixed in the next version.

A quick question though. Can you give me fake examples of the difference in numbers? Is it just one has a space after +44 and one doesn't, or do some just not have +44 altogether?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Neoconair:
As it appears in my Gmail account:

Conversation With xxx(+4477387xxxxxx)

Conversation With xxx(077387xxxxxx)

Spaces do not appear to be the problem, at least not in this case.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] igavio:
Greek translation of Cloud SMS Backup

I attach the file with greek (el) translation. Waiting anxiously for the upcoming version.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ken52787:
How does it appear in your contact list?

igavio: thank you for the translation, it'll be included in the release :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mike2nl:
Hi ken,

what i have seen you are doing a very good job for the new features.

I hope it will be bery popular app in the short future. You have seen

the GTX icon? I have tried to have a very near icon. I hope you like it..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ken52787:
I did see it, it's very good. Would you mind if I used it for the next release?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mike2nl:
Be my guest. Use it as you need it. And thank you for asking ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Neoconair:
The two numbers affected appear as 07xxxx
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hkpeople:
some sms missing...

only backup. can restore?????
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hkpeople:
Please noted that it is not support Trad-Chinese SMS word,,,,T_T....:mad:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] igavio:
1. I do not know why the greek translation does not work. I saved the text in ANSI - No good. In Unicode - no good. The original text captions, eg SEND_FROM, SEND_TO, ZIP_TITLE appear instead.

2. The Manila on-off buttons appear in Greek as Ανοικτό/Κλειστό and the texts overlap.

3. The exported messages only contain sent from number, date/time and text. What is missing is sent from name (from Contacts), folder (incoming, sent, deleted).

4. I only wish to export to the data folder - not email. Is it possible?

5. Even when I choose 'Send as zip file', the folder Data contains many txt files, not one zip file.

6.After completion of Backup, it reports DELETE_FAILURE.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ruud01:
Woow, this really is a great app. Been searching for something like this for weeks now. Appreciate the effort you and computerjunkie put into it. Thxs.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vader1481:
Hello! I am trying to develop some app to copy SMSs from Android to WinMo (i.e. HTC HD2 with dual boot...).. Any chances to have the "Restore SMS" function implemented in you Cloud SMS Backup program?? That would ease a lot my attempt to move SMS received while i am under Android back to WinMo...

Thanks a lot!! Greetings
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sherrywerry:
Is there some way of also backing up other SMS folders, other than the standard Inbox, Outbox etc.?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gmm6797:
This is probably in the wrong thread, but along the lines of the last post, is there any way to backup all email / mail / outlook / SMS settings (not content)? or maybe a registry branch to grab?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pdfc2003:
I have used previous version and worked fine, long time ago. know when i wanted to send a back, it shows an error. I uninstall it and install your new version. (must say that has grate new features).

But still have the same problem.

When click on "Backup" it shows "Retrieving messages" and then "DELETE_FAILURE".

Options:

Send as zip file: off

Clear SMS account after backup: off

Save recent message: on (disable)

Send email immediately: on

Message: since july 2010 (can't tell the exact amount).

Thanks for you help solving this error.

Greate app.

[Touch HD General] the_Enlightened:
I'm trying to describe how-to for my brother in law... short:

1. HardSPL... Olinex 1.56 (works for me and apparently a lot of others:

- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=505377

- this one is easy... just connect your phone using activesync (setup isn't required, so this should be quick)

2. Flash (Install) ROM

- Energy is the first one I installed and it works perfectly

- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=562952 (choose the cookie energy one... there are several:))

- When you extract the zipped file, you need to rename it to "blacimg.nbh" if it doesn't do it automatically.

- Move this file to your storage-card and turn the phone off

- Start the phone holding volume-down... then you will be prompted to press the power-button to install... everything is perfect now!!!

3. Android

- If you want android on your phone then download it, format your storage-card and put the android-file on the card... install and voila!!!

- This file you'll find here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=732362
[Touch HD General] Kaherdin:
You are right, there are ways to "cheese up" your device. But

my

attitude towards flashing is that one should not post "easy fixes" similar to the one you have posted here. The reson for that is there are many different ways of flashing that suit many different kinds of setups (SPL's and more).

I would recommend everyone that is interested in a new, modern look for their device to read the http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=505377 first.

Digital Outcast has made flashing a step-by-step process and that includes more steps that three...
[Touch HD General] the_Enlightened:
You're right, but my opinion is that if you want a starter-kit for your Blackstone, then this is a good start. When you have mastered this, then it's time to move on. I had a lot of questions starting and this is like my own summary of it.
[Touch HD General] hrk7474:
Digital Outcast's step-by-step guide was the exact thing i needed to get ahead with modification of my Touch HD. Especially the parts going 'if X goes wrong, do Y and try X again'.

I've only had my Blackstone for a week now, but with the tutorials on this forum it's like i've had it since day one.

Also have Android running, FRX04, and playing around with different kernels and stuff.

This forum makes it all so easy.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] bulletproof1013:
What I mean Is., I use a Tether app often on my capty.

I still have the old unlimited data plan. but no tether plan....do you think they will catch on if say i were to use my 3g wifi to download movies or whatnot...?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Phlip00ws6:
You're definitely not supposed to be doing it, but Ive been doing it for over 3 years now and have seen 100+GB in a month with no problems what so ever. Just don't give up that unlimited plan!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] bulletproof1013:
yes the unlimited plan is a must have.!!!! i have had it for 5 years now
[Captivate Themes and Apps] mesasone:
This is an interesting question... I wonder if the recent update to the DMCA that allows for jailbreaking would have any affect on whether or not you'd be allowed to tether with out a tether plan.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] shaolin95:
I think they get away with a lot more "illegal" pratices than you doing tether so to me, you are just fine.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] A.VOID:
"illegal"

NO

"Outside of your contract terms"

YES

Which means they can drop you at their discretion. I have heard of excessive users getting notices. I see someone claims 100gb a month. That sounds like flags to me, but if you can make it work, then more power to you.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] iamamp3pimp:
yeah just imagine if they dumbed your unlimited data plan and left you with the option to get the 250 MB plan only.

that would suck.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] MasterN02:
AT&T's "Unlimited" Plan has what they call a 5GB "Soft Cap". If you use over 5GB in any given month, AT&T flags your account for review. If this happens many times over, your account will be flagged for no further upgrade eligibility. At that point and time, they have the option to drop you completely. They also reserve the right to drop you to a limited plan and charge you overages (currently $10-$15 per GB). Tread lightly. 100+GB will possibly come back to bite you. 5-10GB will probably not cause much of a problem...they are looking for people that use their bandwidth to serve their entire house, not occasional "tetherers".
[Captivate Themes and Apps] shaolin95:
Apparently unlimited has a different definition in their dictionary....
[Captivate Themes and Apps] MasterN02:
Sure does!!!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] mchimney:
Definitely be careful with that unlimited plan. Twice now at&t has removed my unlimited data plan without giving me any notice what so ever. When i called them they always gave me the excuse that it was changed many months ago and i had to wait 2 weeks for my case to go through.
[Hero CDMA General] Jedis:
I was woken up last night at 3:30am this morning to the sound of my phone rebooting itself.

Is there anyway to determine why it rebooted? I've never seen it do it before on its own! I'm running CM6 rom.
[Hero CDMA General] chromiumleaf:
"adb logcat" would probably do it.

open your command prompt, navigate to your c:\android-sdk-windows\tools folder and run the following command

adb remount
adb logcat

and it should return a bunch of stuff to you. scrolling through this log will probably show you some kind of error, failure, termination, etc. at some point.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] brown14you:
When you select a word or phrase on the browser and then search, an App comes up: 'Look Up' which displays result of the search in 3 options: Wikipedia, Translate, Google Dictionary.

Is there a way to include Google web search as one of the options here? Or can the apk be modified to do this?

[Legend Android Development] SyntheticDistortion:
Is there a better tutorial for making a gold card, I have read it over a dozen times and i still don't get it, I don't know what to do with the command prompt, so I am stuck at that and I want to know it all for sure before I go and brick my phone?

Does anyone know how to do this, or explain it clearer than the original tutorial?
[Legend Android Development] c_man:
Sure. use this tool and you can't really go wrong:

[PC Application] GoldCardTool, Windows Tool for helping make GoldCards @ MoDaCo
[Legend Android Development] SyntheticDistortion:
And I don't understand the whole command line part

Unzip the file you downloaded to a directory, then open a command prompt / terminal window at that directory.

Turn off your HTC Legend, then turn it back on with the 'back' button held down. You'll see 'FASTBOOT' written on the screen in a red box. Connect the phone to the computer.

In the terminal window, enter either 'step1-windows.bat', './step1-mac.sh' or './step1-linux.sh' as appropriate.

When this step has completed, REMOVE THE GOLDCARD and either format it and replace, or replace with a different (non goldcard) microSD.

Navigate to the 'BOOTLOADER' and then 'RECOVERY' option on the menu, using the volume buttons to move and the power button to select.

In the terminal window, enter either 'step2-windows.bat', './step2-mac.sh' or './step2-linux.sh' as appropriate.

Help?
[Legend Android Development] TheLegendaryJay:
If you don't know what that means, maybe you shouldn't be doing it?

Reluctantly this is what it means in terms of the commands on your PC.

So unzip to your Desktop and call the folder Goldcard, open it and make sure the files are located directly in that folder and not another subfolder above that.

Open command line / Terminal and type this...

on a Windows machine:

cd %userprofile%\Desktop\Goldcard

on a Linux machine it's:

cd ~/Desktop/Goldcard

That gets you into the unzipped folder it talks about, where you enter step1-windows.bat and step2-windows.bat or the Linux version of the commands

when required.

If you muck it up, you knew the risks when taking this on ;)
[Legend Android Development] Bricolo_fr:
Maybe this is a stupid question, but: how do we REMOVE THE GOLDCARD

It isn't mentionned anywhere tu turn off the device, and removing a micro sd involves to turn it off since it removes the battery too
[Legend Android Development] TheGrammarFreak:
I never did remove it personally.
[Legend Android Development] nemphis:
Is it possible to use the goldcard in more than one phone?? so i created it with my legend, can I use it to update a legend of someone else??

Thanx in advance!!
[Legend Android Development] pe3ksve3k2:
YES! I've just rooted my friend's legend with my goldcard.
[Legend Android Development] cebu:
I found the reason why I think on this forum,

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=753374

There are two kinds of CID. There is the CID on your phone, which determines which brand of phone you have - this is irrelevant here. Then there is the CID on your sdcard, this is the card's serial number, and this is what you use to create a goldcard.

So therefor you can use your goldcard with an other telephone, but you can not copy the image of your goldcard to an other sd card.

Dear all

I have Q.

My LEO dies since week now and dose not switched on anymore and if I put it on the charger dose not charge .. and i send it to the HTC to be fixed and it under warranty and i was HSPL it and i did installed Cooked Rom on it

my Q is do you think if there is Failure in the main board .. is it easy for HTC to know that this LEO had HSPL and cooked Rom ?

Thank you for your replay :confused:

what happened? water? microwave?

did it turn off itself? or was the battery low?

take the battery out for some minutes/hours and see if it helps.
