Where is the contacts info saved?

Hi, do anybody know where is the contacts info stored in android?
Because Im tired of getting facebook and google contacts together everytime I flash a new rom. I tried to export info to SD, but when importing the contacts are all separated.
I wanted to make a backup of the folder that contact info is saved, and then restore after flashing.
Thanks in advance

Your contacts are stored on Google servers
https://www.google.com/contacts_v2
When you flash a new ROM and sign into Facebook, you can choose which contacts (if any) that you want to link with Facebook.
I know, but the linked contacts must be saved somewhere in android. Because when you flash something, the linked contacts are not kept.
Yea, I'm not 100% sure what it is your asking, or what problem your trying to avoid?
The contacts are stored in this SQLITE3 database:
data/data/com.google.android.providers.contacts/databases/contacts.db

You will need root to access the file.
If I replace the files after flashing, contacts will be exactly as befor? linked facebook contact with google contact?
Thanks !

[Q] Help in restoring whatsapp Database folder

I have recently switched to a new Custom ROM and in the process of doing it have lost the whatsapp DB folder and hence i cannot restore my old messages from whatsapp. Unfortunately i did not make a backup of the folders, have tried few of the data recovery folders but they were only able to restore images and docs but not the db file.
Could someone let me know if there is anyway we could recover the Whatsapp DB folder after it has been deleted.
Currently using
ROM: cyanogenMod 10.1

How to open backed up Whatsapp chat DB.crypt8

I accidentally deleted some important conversations from my Whatsapp on my Galaxy note 4 and iam trying to find out if its possible to restore them. I went to my root folder to whatsapp/databases and inside there are encrypted files, each one of several kb,of my conversations for example: msgstore.db.crypt8. I even sent these files to my email to have them available in the future. So my question is if its possible to open there files somehow? Thanks.

Yes, but you first need to extract the key. See: WhatsApp Key/DB Extractor
