android-sms-65-to-64-workaround

So you just updated your CyanogenMod 12.1, probably to "stable" snapshot build, and now your SMS app is crashing with error android.database.sqlite.SQLiteException: Can't downgrade database from version 65 to 64, you know that you can just delete /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/mmssms.db file, reboot and be happy, but you can't be happy because you must save your messages? Okay, this is what I faced and here is what you can do.

• copy your mmssms.db file to computer (this will be the source)
• delete it on device, reboot and copy the newly created mmssms.db (this will be the destination)
• put the names of your src and dst files in the script
• run it (you need PHP with SQLite3 installed)
• replace mmssms.db on your device with your dst file
• reboot
• be happy

This script just copies content of some tables from old to the new db. Feel free to improve it.

Hope this will help somebody.
