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)

Signal Replacement
I wasn't impressed with Simple SMS, the devs are a bit slow to fix issues such as the one i reported.

Signal Replacement
As for exporting I suggest sms-ie as it can export SMS+MMS unlike QKSMS, which I might add is unmaintained.

If you don't want something like Android scoped storage to happen to the JavaScript API "for our own good", better not let Google take over the web. They can not be trusted with this much influence.
I actually wrote SMS Import / Export to solve this problem - but it wouldn't have been necessary if Android provided a way to back up arbitrary apps!

Introducing SMS Import / Export
I've long been irked by the lack of an available, straightforward, FLOSS SMS import / export app, so I tried my hand at teaching myself Android development and writing one - introducing SMS Import / Export.
