Is there something wrong with using your google mail account for your contacts? That's how I did it when I tried out different ROMs. So you don't have to have the issue with saving it and restoring it. All you'd have to do is sync your phone with your google mail account.

Yes you can do it with Titanium backup.

+1 what's wrong with Google contacts??
Sent from my cm7src B#38 g2 using XDA App
Everytime I save them and sync and get a new rom I no longer have those contacts but I just backed up everything with titanium

Make sure your contacts are being created under your mail account and not on phone storage.

+5 on wtf is wrong with google?
however... as a criminal throttler (according to tmobile) if I want to flash a rom after a wipe and I am not near wifi my only alternative is to manually restore ****. Why? Because resyncing a **** load of data back to my phone while throttled makes me want to eat my phone in front of a tmobile rep. infuritating! (Its like driving a WWII era moped on the expressway)
but thats one reason why i sometimes need to avoid the gumminess of google. because it pisses off tmobile.
Another reason some people may not use Google for all of their syncing is if they use Google for personal contacts, but still have business/miscellaneous contacts (and their business does not use something like Google or MS Exchange that they can set up a sync for).
Granted, they could set up another Google account for the business ones, but maybe it's not allowed due to corporate IT policy or something. Everyone's usage model is different...

Just wondering what is the fastest or easiest method to completely copy over everything from one vibrant to another as I just got my replacement today. I would love to copy all my apps and settings. Also will I lose all the apps I purchased? Thanks!!

No ideas? I guess I'll just start doing it the old fashion way lol
Your contacts, calendar should be synced to gmail already. Try using mybackup pro or titanium backup for things like app data but I believe you still have to download the apps to your phone again. Purchased apps are saved to your purchase history via gmail

If your are rooted use Titanium Back up. MyBackup Pro is good for things like text.

Yessir, found this all out hehe... thanks though!!!!
Hey, guys. I just installed the DK28 Froyo Stock ROM. I was using Lookout Mobile Security to backup all of my contacts and pictures.
However, all of my contacts aren't syncing from Lookout. Is there an easier way to get back all of my contacts from Lookout?
Also, my account only shows the apps from the Marketplace that I had purchased, but not downloaded. Is there anyway to download everything I had before? Thanks.
Don't know about Lookout; I always sync contacts through gmail.
Don't know about pictures; all of mine are on my SDCard.
Your free apps do not show up in the marketplace...until now. Now that you're running 2.2.1, anything you DL will re-dl every time you replace ROMs or wipe your phone. (this may be due to updated marketplace and not 2.2, but I'm not sure)
Lookout is garbage. I use appbrain to save my app and google to save my contacts. Have you tried logging into your google on your phone to recover your contacts?

It's due to both.
It's Lookout Mobile Security. It's a great piece of software. However, I think it's stuck on restoring my photos.

No, Google didn't sync all of my contacts. Just some. Is there a detailed way to show how to sync my phone contacts with Google? It wants to sync like every e-mail address I've ever e-mailed with my phone.
I know when flashing a rom for the first time you need to wipe everything then flash the rom, but will doing all that erase my contacts?

No. Your contacts should be saved to your sim or backed up with gmail. Or use Mybackup app free on the market.

All contacts in Android are saved onto your gmail account, it doesn't even have the option to save it to your SIM card. I've flashed over 100 roms.

Contacts are not ALWAYS save to your Google Account. It technically depends on how many accounts you have saved to your phone. [i've attached an image from my personal phone showing this]
Like stated above if you want to make 100% sure everything is moved over you can create a .vcf file and import everything when you are done.
the assumption that everything syncs to google is good, but unless you selected it, given the circumstances it may not happen.

It's called Opal it can be found in this thread

but i've got Absolute Tools for Root and it's an option for in there.
is there any program like kies?
mainly for contact back up or edit ,
There are plenty of apps to backup contacts. I don't know why you'd ever want to use Kies though, so I can't really offer something that's like it.
There is also myPhoneExplorer:
http://www.fjsoft.at/en/
When i backed up and restored my contacts with Kies, i recognized that the resolution of the caller pictures was reduced dramatically. Maybe a misconfiguration or maybe fixed in newer releases (?)
To backup my contacts i use the builtin feature save to/restore from SD card. This saves everything except the call groups. And be sure to check that you don't import your contacts to your google account when you restore the contacts from SD card
thanx i will try it
You could always try the ever popular "mybackup" from the market...

Why not just sync with google?
Always backed up in real time.
Or am I missing something.

Not everyone likes to have his/her contacts uploaded to Google
True. I was thinking that, but somehow I think Google gets them anyway.

Sorry about this but I don't understand what app is pushing email notifications to my phone on sense 3.5.
When I first boot up the rom before I have set up the email synch of HTC my phone will already get an email notification. Where does this come from? I would like to disable the app seeing as how I am receiving multiple notifications for one email.
Thank you for any assistance
---Edit---
Never mind I found it haha it was just gmail that was already on the phone to begin with. I wish I knew how to delete this...
Why would you want to delete gmail? Its the device main email. Its connected to Google which you sign in to your device with and sync everything with.

Because htc have its email app, so why need two if one is enough.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda premium
Some people use different apps for different mail. It's much more comfortable to use Gmail features on Gmail.
And the only thing needed to delete it, is any file manager with root privileges.
