Backup Text for Kik [root]

You CAN get this app to work, but you have to copy and rename your Kik database. This app works for an older version of Kik. To get this to work on the newest Kik, use a rooted file manager, goto /data/data/kik.android/databases and copy your Kik database. It will have a name with a bunch of letters and numbers, then "kikdatabase.db" at the end. Go back one folder level so you can paste that file and rename it (DO NOT just rename the orig file, Kik will stop working). Paste the copy of the file and rename it to "kikdatabase.db" removing all the random numbers and letters. Cut and paste that file back in /data/data/kik.android/databases and open this app. Click on the line that "reads" your Kik database and it will work. You'll have to redo this process to backup any new messages you get later, but it works 100% if you follow these instructions.

Doesn't work on Android 07

Please fix the app!

Ir want a fuqing root

I've used the app in the past and it's worked beautifully. However with a kik update adding extra information to a filename, the app no longer functions as intended. This can be fixed manually by making a copy of your ###.kikdatabase.db and rename it without the ###. into the same folder.

Is there any way you could make a free version or do it without the app ? Can I backup messages and restore them on a difderent, new account ? kik doesn't store it online and messages can be lost easy. Where are they saved on android ? The price is good but if I wanted just one app I would have to buy 15 dollar card

I wish to god u guys would add an automatic backup or something, it is the only thing missing.. Also the actual backup itself could be a little bit more easier to read but otherwise it's great

This doesn't let me do it in the Samsung Galaxy s5 at all I don't know what to do n it said that it unavailable for the Kik username

It can't find the root and just sits there doing nothing.

I love this app! It backs up all my messages in my inbox perfectly. Nothing complicated to it at all. Just make sure you have your phone rooted and that you have a file browser like Root browser

The latest Kik update on 11/24 broke this app. Now it can't find Kik database! Reverted to an older version of Kik and it works again...please fix to get your 5 stars back...thanks

Cant get the messages back.I did everything.it says it worked but I cannot find it.

Worked great on my phone. Got an epic Kik conversation exported which I can now keep forever. Thanks!

The App worked for a good while. Then I noticed that the amount of messages have been the same when I go to backup. So I reinstalled the App and now can't get the database.

It opens up and says "requesting root to access Kik database" and the circle spins infinitely and i never get passed that spinning circle

Only 3 apps for kik back up that don't work

It used to work flawlessly, did exactly what I wanted(granted the format/syntax was kinda dumb) and recently stopped working, I'm guessing it was due to a Kik update.

I Don't Know Where To What To Do This App Aint Work For Nothing

No longer works after latest Kik update.... reverted to an older version, and all is well

Despite having root AND giving this app root access, all I get it 'Kik database unavailable or no root access'

Great tool if your phone is rooted (mine is)

Used to work perfectly. Now it can't find my Kik databases

I think I need backup to HTML option. App working 100% good

I have root it wont work

Would be great if it could save logs automatically.

I am a bit to late with using it but i like the app its perfect

But can anybody someone please explain to me what it means to have it rooted in your phone

Doesn't find chats, so won't export them.

Out of date, doesn't work

It can't find any of my messages
