convert contacts2.db to csv - Android General

Hello
i search and search but couldn't find a simple tool that does this conversion, I took the contacts2.db before wiping
the device ( galaxy s3) but now i cant find the same folder to return it , so i thought import it to gmail contacts
which accept csv.
any suggestions ?

"Egress" problem !?

hi friends!
I have a problem with "egress"!

but, in other feed readers this "opml" file is imported good...!??

[Q] where is the SMS data file stored ?

excuse my noob idea
i need the exact location of SMS data file
does anyone know ?
if we can use "Advanced Explorer" tool to browse/export/import WP7 files
then why we can't export SMS file and import it to other devices or same device (after hard reset) ?
i managed to export
.\Applications\Install\1A0EE8C2-xxxxxxxxx\Install\
from my hd7 to my pc and i found all htc app's files and dll's
then i thought maybe i can backup SMS file in the same way
i tried to export all the files to my pc so i can search all the files from my pc
but there is some issue with advanced explorer i can only export small files
maybe it is more complicated than i think
does anyone have any idea ?
all what i need is :
-export sms folder to my pc
-flash my hd7
-import sns folder without modifying any file
does it work like that or not ?
sorry for my long post and thanks in advance

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 !

Where is the db of contacts in SGS2?

Hello
someone can tell me, where exactly the contacts are saved in the file-system of an Samsung Galaxy S2 with 2.3.5?
I have a rooted phone and I am trying to get an address out of a nandroid backup done some weeks ago.
So I unpacked the data.img with unyaffs and now I have all the subfolders of the /data/ directory but I don't know now, how to access my contacts and where they are.
Which file is it?
Is it a sqlite database?
Ok, I could restore the nandroid backup (done with CWM Manager v2.0) but this takes a long time, just to find a phone number (and address).

Took some time digging around but I found it. Here you go - /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/databases/contacts2.db

Good heaven! That is great, tnahk you!
I digged and digged and found notting!
+++!
I could open the db with SQLite Manager (the Firefox Add-On or other apps will do it) and export it as a SQL-File (database / export database), now I could search with a text editor through the whole database, as I don't know the structure.
