I've got a backup of my Android system on my HTC Desire via ROM Manager (it's 2.1 and I have installed a 2.2 HTC ROM instead) but I'd like to get my messages (text messages) and bookmarks from the backup. Is this possible?

It's really the only things I lose when moving from ROM to ROM. - Kol Tregaskes

There are only a few files and most are .img files (disk Images files?) - Kol Tregaskes

So how can I view the files inside it and when I can see the files, what am I looking for? Where are bookmarks and messages normally stored on Android? - Kol Tregaskes

Thank you, Siavash. :-) - Kol Tregaskes

Brian, that app *would* have been useful. I'll install and use it from now on but won't restore my current SMSs. - Kol Tregaskes

I don't use it all that much anymore, I moved everyone over to my Google Voice number. But it did save my bacon once. - Brian

I wish Google Voice was introduced over here. - Kol Tregaskes
