Hi all,
I am searching for the file or db in which
- calllogs
- accounts (dropbox, xing, weather ...) and there settings
are stored.
I found that the google account is stored in data\data\com.google.android.gsf\databases.
I think this is a HTC-specific question because there is a folder called com.android.providers.subscribedfeeds in the default android but this does not exist in HTC stock rom.
Unfortunately I have not found any answers using the search.
HTC desire s, Stock rom.
Thank you!
Call logs are easy. Google can answer that. /data/data/com.telephony.provider.something, AFAIK. Too busy to search.

Hi everyone, I want to backup my contacts and the native 2.1 contact manager has a function to export my countacts but the .vcf don't actually keep the category structure that I so painstakingly setup or the contact photos that I gathered. In the iPhone, it is a simple question of getting two sqlite files that have the contacts and images in them and substituting it in your next device. Would anyone be able to tell where I could find this files??
I'm running a root t-mobile vibrant /w bionix.
Also, please let me know if you know something more functional the stock contact manager app: ie. with proper import/export and and sync functions that retains categories and contact images.
i can't post links, to find your sqlite db files try googling:
how to poke around the sqlite3 databases
And for a better contact manager google:
komodo contacts
Generally this is done via gmail. Add the pics etc to your contacts and place them in groups via gmail then no matter what phone you use these will always be there.
You can them export them as a backup to your pc etc
Does anyone now how you can manually scan for contact matches?
Because before I was aware of the usefulness of this function, I always decided not to match the contacts that my HTC Desire S was suggesting ...
Thanks in advance
Contacts->more->linked contacts
Or edit individual contacts and use the link option.
The easiest way to get all the suggested contact matches back is to simply delete the account type (ie facebook) from
Settings->accounts & sync
And then add it again and sense will resuggest them

Hello, dear Forum.
You'll probably say that this question was asked and answered a million times, but i couldn't manage to find the write answer, so I ask:
Where do SMS-s go, when they are being backed up by android/google?
I'm using a HTC Desire, and i play a lot whit different roms (like everyone here I guess). I use MyBackup Root to backup some stuff including SMS-s, but I can see that when my phone is freshly flashed, it automatically starts downloading contacts and messages. I found where the contacts are - in google contacts. But where are the messages stored in google? I get a lot of duplicates and I'd like to go and delete all backed up messages from google and continue using only MyBackup Root.
So if anyone can point me to the right direction, I'll be most grateful.
P.S. pls don't post the noob movie from youtube )

You need the app from android market too^^
Maybe it will help you. I think there is a google sync too, so mybe you can erase your duplicates.

Thank You a lot for the app! But I was really interested if someone knew where are the backed up sms-s and can they be managed (viewed, deleted,copied etc.) like the contacts in google contacts.
I think I found the source of the duplicated messages (and contacts). I think it's the HTC Sence.com. It keeps my messages on the site, and my contacts. Stupid thing is that I can not do a "Select All>Delete" Usually I have around 270 contacts. Over there i have 888 contacts and my messages have 3-4 copies each.
Hi,
I unlinked all my contacts to find some mismatches I accepted, now I would like to force a search for matching contacts, like the one the phone performs automatically from time to time (have not figured out under what circumstances it search for them).
Does anybody knows how to initiate that search for matching contacts? basically will be searching LinkedIn and Google contacts.
Thanks in advance.
Hi everyone,
I'd like to store my contacts on the local phone storage. Unfortunately the contact app doesn't seem to support that. If I remember right the one from "Vanilla ICE v2" did.
Is is possible to just flash the apk from Vanilla/CM9/whatever supports local storage? Can I perhaps change the settings in the current app to support local storage? Or is there a option somewhere and I am just stupid^^?
Thanks for the help.

PS: I am not really keen on syncing my contacts with google or anyone else so thats not really a solution...more of a dealbreaker. :/
There should be an option to Import/Export from storage in contacts.
Go to Contacts > press menu button > Import/Export
You'll then get the options to:
Import from Sim card
Import from Storage
Export to Storage
Share visible contacts
If the options are not there, then it must be a bug in BlindIce v8.
Oh, and be sure to turn off Google's contacts sync!

may i ask why u dont want to use google to sync as trillions of people use it ?
Hi,
@miz_pimp
Thanks for the help. If I understand you right, I should just use the Google account but not sync it. I already thought of that but hoped there would be a real local storage (like in other roms I have used).
@htc-phones
I just not comfortable with Google constantly integrating my contacts into my other web activations. And also I find it kind of rude that they use this data for there business.
And also I don't think the masses are a good adviser...
To precise my original question: is there a possibility for "real" local storage like some roms are able to (without the fear of accidental sync)? Does it depend on the contact app used?
Thanks again.

Maybe I misunderstood you. I have my contacts saved to my SD card, and do NOT have it synced with Google. Every time I flash a new ROM, I just restore my contacts from my SD card, but before doing so, I do not sync my Google account yet.
While my account is syncing, I quickly turn off "Sync Contacts", before any of my contacts are synced with my Google account.

I think I understood what you meant, but if I got you right your still linking your contacts to your Google-Account (the one you e.g. log into the market with), you just don't update (sync) the contacts within its "online address book".
But what I am infact looking for is the possibility to NOT link the contacts. In Endymion for example (but I remember correctly Vanilla as well) you can select "phone storage" as location to import your .vcf to. That option I am missing.
The workaround you suggested might work, but after flashing most roms auto sync is on and you have to be quick.
The point is since you can not really take back any mistakes in that field (since leaked informations can not be retrieved) I would really prefer a local solution.
But thank you for your help!

PS: Perhaps I would not be so "paranoid" if I had not received a mail from Google congratulating me to my new Galaxy Nexus after flashing Vanilla >.<. Or if I would be able to delete the serial of my old DesireS which I returned after fried eMMC...
I'm not so sure then, as I don't recall seeing that option, sorry.

Hope it helps!
I don't sync my contacts with Google either, all my contacts are backed up with TB then restored after a new Rom by just restoring data not app and data, as a backup I export to sd card.
