Hi guys
I'm a big fan of trying new ROM's and new stuff, but it's quite a pain when every time I change the ROM, to assign the contact photos 1 by 1 on the contacts in which the name is different to the one in Facebook.. Is there any way to store this information so it can be retreived after the ROM is changed? I'm using Contact Sync and I use Titanium Backup to backuo my stuff.
Thanks!

No1 has any way to do this? Isn't there any other way than to do it manually?
Cheers,

Will MyBackupPro or Titanium Backup do this?
Lets say i get a new android phone, and want to backup/restore contacts with contact the contact thumbnails. Going to be a drag adding 200 pictures each time i change phones

"Yes, MyBackup Pro will also backup the contacts icon picture."
Found that on android forums.

Seems MyBackupPro will do the job then.
If anyone can confirm this, id be greatfull.
Also found this:
"If your contacts are Google ones then the details and photos will be re-synced back to you phone after the update, Have a look at your Gmail account on a pc and check. "
Any way to easy convert phone contacts to google contacts? (Cant find Contactsync anymore on market, this app should do the trick)
I have alot of contacts, and dont want to do each one manualy. I tried to set up contacts sync to make it sync with gmail, but it will only sync google contacts it seems.
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.
hello,
when i change ROM or in any other way i delete contacts from phone, and after that i restore them (i am using My Phone Explorer) it simply doesn't create contact pics i had before wiping. this is main reason why i hesitate to try out new ROMs cos each time i have to manually attach pics for my contacts. So is there a way to do this (it doesn't have to be My Phone Explorer, it can be some other program or market app)?
also another thing that bugs me is that after i sync contacts from FB with phone it gives greater priority to FB contact pics than to those of phone itself, so contacts display FB pics instead of those from phone. I know i can fix this manually but again why should i each time i flash new ROM, if there is a way to do it automaticly. So, is there a way?
thank you
I dont know what i'm doing wrong but hoping someone can tell me. Whenever i save a contact I save it as a google contact. I store the number but if i flash a new rom I lose that contact I saved. I tried going into settings>accounts&sync and syncing all the accounts to see if it saved it but when I go on my pc and check my google contacts it doesnt appear. What am I doing wrong? Ive lost many numbers I needed....

I have the same problem and have solved it by backing up my contacts on both my phone and my google account and then restoring them after booting the new ROM. I also use the backup with the contact program and I use GO launcher as my "menu manager". I use the GO Backup tool as a third level of backup. Any other method from anyone else would be useful as it is bit of a messy solution. BUT it does stop me losing contacts. I have also used the Microsoft Outlook tool as yet another backup when I sync. Can't have too many backups when the gremlins are out get your contact list.
Anyone?
Hello there!
As far as I know Facebook as well as Whatsapp save one's contacts on their servers when the app is installed. A friend of mine, now lost all his contacts. He can't get them back through a backup and they also are not synced with his Google account. Now I was wondering, if there is a possibility to get the contacts from Facebook or Whatsapp (those two apps have been installed).
Any suggestions? Did anybody try this?
Thanks for the answers in advance

i guess you can get whatsapp contacts
simply use a whatsapp extraction tool which will give you access to all contacts which were stored in your whatsapp application library.
look around for a tool named whatsapp extractor from myphondata. that might be of some help to your friend.
