Simple,
Get any SMS Backup and Restore app.
Backup your SMS from the HD7.
It will probably generate a file.
Copy this file to the Samsung Galaxy S3 and restore it using a app.
Hello
Is it possible to add 2 numbers in whatsapp within same device ?
it is possible in iphone , what about android ?!
It's not possible. WhatsApp only works with the current phone number. It's clearly mentioned in the WhatsApp FAQ that it only works with one number on one device. So how can it work with two numbers on the iPhone? I'm afraid your information is wrong.
http://www.whatsapp.com/faq/en/general/21009863
If you really want to use WhatsApp with both your numbers, download BlueStacks app player to your computer, install WhatsApp in it, and assign your secondary phone number to it. So this way you can have WhatsApp on your phone assigned to the primary number, and on the computer with the secondary number. BlueStacks is an Android app emulator.

actually you can do it by iPhone jailbroken of course so that i wonder if any body try it on android which is easier & open system than IOS

I'm afraid YOU are all wrong. It is fully possible on an iPhone even on the iPhone 5.
With a jailbroken phone you just take the original .ipa file and change the bundle identifier name to Whatapp2 in the info.plist file.
It works properly and notifications are pushed according to which ever whatsapp application is assigned to what number.
I would also like to have this feature since i have dual sim. One for work and one for personal contacts.

I would love to have access to the info you're asking to get PMd about. I mean, if we all got this greedy and gave solutions though PM this forum would be kinda useless.
So in iPhone it works if you change the bundle name, so I assume it also works if you change the app name or something in the AndroidManifest.xml file?
PM is a boon service given by xda

yes it is possible. you need to install titanium backup and make 2 profiles in titanium backup. Then go to backups/.... and search whatsapp. there is a option use multiple profiles. select that and you can use 1 number a profile
^ thanks, that worked!!! Can u tell me where data is saved for both diff profile, how to backup both data and restore later....
Thanks again man !!!!!
So here's a big question: is it possible to use WhatsApp on 2 phones - 1 iPhone, 1 Android? I understand about Titanium Backup, but that would make it work for 2 Android devices, right?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Hrmm...this didn't work for me. i changed the identifier name on the plist to whatsapp2, rebooted teh device, and now whatsapp won't even load, let alone allow me to install a 2nd version. where'd i go wrong?
i modified the file on my phone via ifile in the app directory
There is an App to handle multiple numbers for whatsapp. Check it out on another thread in XDA.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2346022
Pinger!
Use pinger.com/tfw to activate your other device's WhatsApp. Worked fine for me.

You didn't load it properly.
Grab a copy of whatsapp from your itunes local file location.
Copy and paste it to your desktop.
Change the plist identifier name to whatsapp2 and save it accordingly with the ifile manager.
Then drag the plist file back into that copy of whatsapp you made on your desktop.
Use ifunbox to install the app from the desktop that you have just edited.
Now whatsapp will not reboot as it will use the same signature you used to download the app. It is closing cause you are trying to load a cracked version.
Titanium back up pro is working well for 2 whats app account in multiuser profile.
Hi..
I have recorded a video which i tried to send through Whatsapp but i couldn't because the size is big. Is there any APP that would re-size it or like send it into more than one file (partition it)?

Hi. It is really sad, you know, that such phone like I9300 is so popular. Why? Because it is given as the Christmas gift, Frist Confession, Hanukkah and plenty other occasions to the peoples who:
1. Are too lazy to find easiest solutions by themselves
2. Are too pathetic to recognize even that this is NOT I9300 specific question, but generic Android one
This is XDA forum, you know... in theory, developers, troubleshooting of the mess created by unusual actions like overclocking, customizations etc.
But, OK, if your mom in at work, your nanny is busy with her boyfriend, let me help you.
There is the top-secret, deeply hidden tool used by specialist companies only, like Universal Pictures, MGM, HBO Television and other professional bodies. Please DO NOT SHARE IT, because I'm now disclosing its location for your eyes only!!!!111111
Ready? Steady? GO!!!
I am truly sad that you had to trouble your hand in writing all of what you wrote.
I have already used Google and found several app's but it wasn't what i wanted exactly that's why i asked. I am not very sure why ur sad to help someone who of course ha looked and searched before asking!
The form and this section is for people to ask, so why you are sad again?

Video Editor on the Play store is my only suggestion .Or take the video to PC and cut it .
As you say Google search found nothing suitable i wont mention any of the apps found .

Well, I'm guessing that you bought this phone new, and as a result you have 50gb of free Dropbox storage.
Why don't you upload whatever video you want on your Dropbox account and then send the public link to who ever it is that you wanted to send it to?
All of this can be done directly though the phone, so it shouldn't be so much of a hassle.
In the even that you got this phone off the second hand market, you have (AFAIK) 5gb of free storage on Google Drive, which is also hooked automatically to your Gmail account, so you could also use that.
Just trying to be helpful, good luck on your Android adventure.

Hi
I'm a few days away from my OGWhatsapp app expiring and am desperate to find an alternative as I travel constantly between countries and having two active whatsapp accounts on my phone is an invaluable part of my life.
I've stumbled across some alternatives from this site:
http://faresandroid.blogspot.com.es/2015/01/4.html
Namely, i'm looking at ENWhatsapp and SAWhatsapp. I'm wondering whether these apks are ok as I fear installing any sort of malware or SMS trojan on my Samsung S4 Mini Duos i9192.
Many thanks
I use this one and think it is perfect, no isues in months. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2339647
Thanks. Does it notify you of received messages from both accounts instantly or do you need to switch between accounts to pick up the messages?
Use this xxwhatsapp
https://www.dropbox.com/s/bwqhldcwrdx350w/xxWhatsApp1.15-1.apk?dl=0
It's base on Ogwhatsapp mode last version. But it's still working. It's modified in order to not to be detected by the expiration of the 472 whatsapp server base.
Thanks MuD-GMZ. That seems to work well. Only thing is that I have to switch between the two accounts manually to see if i've received messages. A little bit annoying.
ppsa, is xxWhatsapp safe? I get the same pre-installation access warnings as SAWhatsapp and ENWhatsapp. What particularly worries me is the access the app has to sending and receiving SMS's (see attached screenshot). Not sure this if this normal though considering that I guess the app needs a whatsapp verification code via sms to activate it.
What do you think?
Many thanks!

Exactly. That's why I want to know if any of the other unofficial whatsapps are safe so that i can have two whatsapps active at the same time
In the end I tried ENWhatsapp + other variants and none of them seem to work. I get an error during the installation process that oddly states that '"the app expired on May 18th 2060"!!
I am, though, using a Playstore app called Disa Beta:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.disa&hl=en
It has a strange UI but it allows me to do exactly what I was looking for: have 2 whatsapp accounts simultaneously active on my dual sim phone.
I've used it, but it's not as friendly to use
It works again? Thanks.
hello guys
i made mistake and use textra for two year, well it was a better app than stock android 4.3 sms app,but yesterday i noticed new messaging app from Cyanogenmod 12.1 on my xperia sp is great! and then i noticed because i,m a flashoholic and play around with so much rom, i never backuped my messaging storage apart from textra,so then i backed up my messaging storage with SMS Backup & Restore app until i find i dont have my older ( 60000+) message from textra! so yea had a small search and find out textra sms is the only sms app that use its own database! [email protected]$#%^&%#%& !! and there is no way to get it on stock or any other sms app beside convert messaging.db from textra database.
i find this : https://github.com/sync-oz/convert-textra-db-to-xml
but i cant figure it out how to do it in windows 10 and i,m not expert on this kind of method
can you get me right and more specific Instructions from link above? or can you make a simple app with script that read textra database and convert it to xml?
can anybody save me from textra?
Nobody? Just a tip to how to do it?

If you didn't make a backup before making your mod then its probably gone.

To be honest restoring sms data is asking to corrupt the dB which can lead to sms app not working properly

I wouldn't know where to start with that even if I needed to.
I agree that trying that would probably just lead to more issues because you are crossing apps and crossing operating systems and the operating systems are different versions. Usually, an operating system doesn't like files that were saved or generated in another operating system and android versions don't like files from other android versions. Depending on the data that is from other systems, that system kind of "tags" it so that it knows that it was the one that created it and where it was saved to, that can cause issues due to partitioning differences between android versions.
Are the messages that important?
Sent from my A750 using Tapatalk
I have to agree. When I asked textra about it they stated that it was encrypted so only their app could read it.

Yes! Some of the messages are really important.
I know what you saying, but textra app make me use its own app like forever, and thats not what i want! And database of textra is seprate from any system function,and if we convert it to xml it just can be readable for stock sms app in every other rom,
Just look at the app to know it better

Yea they say that but i think thats a lie, because i have my messaging.db (database) from textra and it is readable even from a simple text editor, and i can see my message in the file, but its just for textra. I know it can be convert, just look at this :

Yeah, I'm sure its easily readable in a text editor, there is a difference in reading a .txt file in a text editor and viewing an actual text message.
But bringing those texts to a different app to view them is another story.
If you could convert as easily as you seem to think then why haven't you done it yet. You keep posting links that you think will make it possible but they aren't working for you yet, are they? Hmm...I wonder why? Maybe because it can't be done the way you are trying?
If you want your messages restored then try to do it with the Textra app....you know....where they actually came from to begin with...the app that is already capable of reading them? Do it the way its guaranteed to work instead of trying something that could potentially corrupt your device AND possibly corrupt the messages you are trying to recover, if you corrupt them in the attempt then they'll be gone for good and you will have wasted your time. I'm just saying go with what already works.
The second link in your post above me has numerous posts from users that keep saying that textra messages are tied to textra and can't be imported. The developer of Textra even states that it doesn't work. I'm sure the guy that created the app would know infinitely more about it than you do.
Give it up, you aren't gonna get those messages in a different text app. It just isn't going to work. You are not the first to have tried it.
Just take it as a lesson learned and move on, just keep this as a reminder to backup what you want to keep before flashing over it. Use SMS backup to backup/restore your Textra messages.

Chill out man,this is a helping community not a church, i need some help to get rid of textra but i needed my messages and i just asked from my freinds in xda to helping me,the guy who wrote that script its not around xda to answer my question.
Search it on google,you will find that can be done by having a right table,but i dont know what table i should use.
you think you know it all? It is doable to convert it by just a script but i cant do it because i dont have that knowledge,it seem you dont have it to,i simply asked to know what should i do,is asking wrong? so go then please i dont need someone that knows less than me..thank you

So i done it, i searched alot(almost 1 week),read alot and at the end i learned to do it,i converted textra database to xml,and restored it to android stock messaging app and deleted textra app for ever. I just want to say next time try to help somebody, don't disappoint them, and do not say anything unless you know it all because nobody here on xda ask for wrong direction! Soon i will make a complete tutorial and post it in gerenal section.
Please do. I'm sure lot of people will be interested including me as I'm gonna try Textra for the first time. Before switching from stock messaging, I wanted to know if I can roll back easily and I ended up here and here : Textra... Beware!, and the confirmation from the developper here : How to get textra messages to appear in stock sms?. It seems it's not so easy by design.
So definetely I'll be interested in your tutorial.

I wouldn't hold your breath. I think he is full of bunk, personally. You don't come in here saying "I DID IT!" without a hint of how you did it, then say "I'll post how soon".
If he gave general steps, then someone could work with that. How hard would it be to type 3 or 4 more sentences? I'll believe it when I see it, which I'm not sure I will.
almost makes makes me want to download it to see for myself.
