Hi,
restore seems to be broken on 4.4.2.

I am able to connect to gmail, after that, when I choose to restore, I get the normal message "On devices > 4.4. ... set as default sms app...". So far so good.

Now the issue:
When I choose "Ok" now, "Smsm Backup+" is closed and a small message box appears "Settings was closed" (default exception dialog).

After that I tried setting "SMS Backup+" manually as standard sms app, so I navigated through my settings to "default sms app" and realized, that I can not choose the app. The only available option is "Hangouts".

I am running a Nexus 5, with Stock 4.4.2, Build: KOT49H

Hello, yes same problem with me, app is forced to close. I checked my default sms app settings and yes, can confirm, there is also only hangouts app, no sms backup, so you can not set it manually.
I am also on Stock Android 4.4.2 (Nexus 5) with SMS Backup+ Version 1.5.6-Beta

Is this app still maintained? No real activity here. Still no new release or beta with fix for this issue?!?!
