For those, like me, who tend to not know how this all works, here is a little step by step from what I did to use this software:

  1. in storeman install node.js
  2. download the zip from github at the top of the repository Code->Download zip
  3. click on the downloaded file and unzip using the SFOS zip app
  4. go to the directory it is unzipped to and type npm install
  5. copy the commhistory files using “cp /home/defaultuser/.local/share/commhistory/* .”
  6. create the backups using “node main.js -s commhistory.db”
  7. copy both created files to your Android device
  8. install SMS Backup & Restore on your Android device
  9. use SMS Backup & Restore to restore both files

The script&app restored 28k SMS messages an 43k calls. The SMS’s are alm there but the call history goes back three month and that’s it. So if you called someone a year ago itnwon’t show up.
