Recovering from saved sqlite database
I accidentally my whole phone. I do have a Titanium Backup of Simple SMS Messenger, from which I can extract the conversations.db. However, when I launch the app, it replaces the conversations. I do not have an export. I would like a method of merging / importing the old conversations from the database. I'm techy and can write SQL, Python, etc. I've had a quick look at the exporter to see if I can replicate the JSON format of the exported conversations. But I thought I might ask in case anyone here has already solved this or has better advice. Cheers!

Finally ditched almost all proprietary apps and hosted my own home server for media streaming and files/photo sharing. (Still using WhatsApp, Classroom and some food ordering apps though)

A list of apps that helped me through my "de-Googling" process
Dialer: Simple Dialer (MD3) works fine. Koler (MD3) has a better UI, even than Google Dialer IMO, but it needs to have some bugs fixed and the notification runtime permission updated. Right Dialer (iOS-like/MD3) works fine too but I don't really like it; plus, I didn't compile the GitHub version, so, can't tell.
