Backup SMS from Kaios and Restore in android

[Enjoy Your Life]

I worked a lot for this and finally find a way . It is more tricky and cumbersome but worked flawlessly . So the steps are below

1. Pre-requirement 
   

• Windows/Linux PC
  
• Notepad++ for windows/in linux any not so stupid text editor
• ruby installed with nokogiri gem
• Smsbackuprestrore app from play store 
• some knowledge of cmd mode 

2.  Install smsbackuprestore app in your kaios device from https://github.com/frayar/SMSBackupRestore .  You can use webide/kiosrt/omnisd which way you like . Do not forget to enable curser in menifest

• Open app in kiaos device and take backup which should back up in SDcard named backup-messages.xml
• transfer this file in PC
• Open this file in notepad++
• add at begining <messages> and at end </messages>
• search and replace "&" with "and"
• save the changes

3.  Now open Microsoft excel (you can use libre Calc but required knowledge to import xml file in spreadsheet)

• In excel enable Developer option from rebbon customization (search on internet for specific instruction)
  
• In developer menu  click on import in xml section and import the backup-massages.xml file
  
• If occur any error while importing remove or modify specific lines in notepad++
  
• After importing click on a new column and rename it as date1
• in date1 column Paste the formula (=(((COLUMN_ID_HERE/1000/60)/60)/24)+DATE(1970,1,1) where column id is the id of column timestamp
  
• now format column as yyyymmddhhmmss
• copy all data from column date1
• paste data in notepad++ in new file and save
  
• copy data from notepad++ and paste in a new column in excel
  
• now open developer option in excel
  
• click on source in xml section
  
• your xml file structure will show in right hand side
  
•  right click on timestamp  and remove the link then again right click and link it to the first cell of column where we paste data from notepad++
  
• now export it from xml section and save it
  

3. now open the attached gammusms2android.txt file and rename it gammusms2android.rb and open in notepadd++

• follow the instruction
  
• our backup file format is somewhat different from it
  
• so i modify it
  
• you just have the rename excel export xml file to back.xml
• now open cmd at directory where backup and gammusms2android.rb reside
  
• run the command "gammusms2android.rb back.xml > sms-import.xml"
• if no error then a sms-import.xml file will created in folder

4. move this sms-import file in android

• open smsbackuprestore app in andoid and restore
• enjoy

While I'm away from my PC for a while, this looks like it should work! Thank you so much for taking the time to make it happen, as I was taking a poke at converting the exported file for use in SMS Backup and Restore before 2020 got far too wild.

Have a wonderful day!
