Some months back I transitioned to Google Voice and made Hangouts my default messaging app on my Nexus 4. Everything was great until recently when I tried to back up my text messages to my computer which I do every so often. I was always able to do this through the app Snap Pea. This no longer works and I suspect it is because Snap Pea does not recognize Hangouts as a messaging app.
I have tried to switch back to the default Messaging app but when I do this all my old messages still stay in Hangouts. I thought maybe if I unmerged the SMS messages and Hangouts messages, then the old messages would show up in the default Messaging app. No such luck.
I have found two possible solutions I'm weary about trying and I'm not sure if they will capture my SMS as they seem to be geared more toward Hangouts messages:

I guess I would really prefer a Snap Pea replacement that can handle this function. Any suggestions?
Thanks
