How can I restore my mmssms.tar to a desire rom?

I've backed up my sms and mms before I changed to a Desire rom. Now how can I restore them?

linux:

tar xvf mmssms.tar

(should create mmssms.db)

adb push mmssms.db /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/

optionally, restore original permissions. i think it works anyway, but thats the default:

adb shell chown 1001 /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db

adb shell chgrp 1001 /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db

adb shell chmod 660 /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db

reboot. (or find some other way to reinitialize the app, which i do not know of)
