My experience on restore SMS through Helium. Helium request to set as default SMS app, ok and proceed. After restore, Hangout will request to set as default SMS app, ok and proceed. Open Hangouts, no SMS shown. Reboot phone and open Hangouts again, SMS restored.
Does SMS backup and restore app already KitKat compatible ? From screenshot 5 to screenshot 6, is it completed quick or took long time ?
EDIT : Do some research, can try below.
On Android 4.4+ devices, if you have performed the Restore and the messages don't appear in Hangouts then:
- Open Hangouts and Disable SMS from Settings.
- Exit the Hangouts app
- Open Hangouts and Enable SMS from Settings.

@robinsonz, try to use PC to open the .xml you backup from your old phone, and also .xml backup file create from SMS backup and restore app, maybe the format or column not the same.
