I currently use SMSBackup+ to backup my SMS and MMS to my gmail. What advantages would this give me over that?

this saves your SMS to SDCARD and then you can restore it to your device. its usable, if you often try new ROMs or other cases...

Just downloaded it only cause I like your kernels thought I would give it a run for you so here is my feedback

1. It does what says
2. Tested with texts unread and it keeps them backed up as unread a good thing
3. Its very fast backsup in seconds and restores as quick
4. Only thing I'm not keen on is it saves to root of memory card can in not be made to create a folder and save into that folder called SMS backup for example

Oh and this app would be perfect for my gf as she saves some msgs and it restores in the same format as it was in unlike some back up ones they store different and become hard to understand who said what

Also the delete all msgs works perfect did exactly that I reinstalled and deleted 7times no fails will carry on testing and will report back over if any bugs appear

From England with leedroid dhd techo!

V 0.4 works restores all messages but when you press delete all messages it starts then force closes go in to messages they appear to be gone but once phone reboots they are back only the the delete force close this app will be perfect

The feature that I really would like to have in a SMS backup app is the ability to backup as a nice formatted HTML file. Not a lot of apps have this feature and for those that do have, the generated HTML doesn't look nice at all.

this is good idea, but what is "good looking HTML"

its too subjective...

Backing up to gmail is safer as sdcards can get corrupted easily or your phone could be lost or stolen.. when backed up to gmail you will always have it.

Id suggest to provide an option to either backup to gmail or to sdcard.. have the user decide.
