First post, so sorry about a noob question. I searched and couldn't find exactly what I was looking for.

I flashed ICS and now have no text messages. Is there any way that they can still be located, or did I just miss the boat in my upgrade path?

I have flashed roms before and they have carried over, so a little confused why I lost them now. I do use titanium backup. What I did:

I ran cognition 4.5.3 forever and finally decided it was time to try something new.
- I backed up all apps and data with Titatium Backup
- used the oneClick I897UCKI2 Android 2.3.5 Gingerbread with bootloaders
- Flash Fugu's Kernel, Phone went into boot-loop.
- Remove battery, go in DL mode again. Flash Boog's Kernel.
- Restored all apps + data (was using handscent for text)
* All Texts messages were there.

Then I decided to upgrade to ICS using SimplyAOKP V3.1 ~ ODEXED ~ 4.0.4
- I backed up all apps and data with Titatium Backup
- Used CWM to:Wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache under advanced, and format system under mounts and storage
-Flashed V3.1 Dark Themed from zip in CWM
* No texts.. Restoring apps seemed to cause problems, so I did it again without restoring apps.

Is there any way for me to dig up my old text messages at this point?
What should I do in the future to preserve them when flashing roms?

Thanks for your help!
