Have all of you contacts synced to Google and before you flash check your Gmail account and see if it all got synced.

I have my contacts synced along with pictures for those contacts, main ones are on linked to google and other pics are linked from facebook. I can see all of the pics in contacts, but none in the messaging app. It was working fine until I installed shapewriter, but I have since uninstalled that app and none of the pics are showing. Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks.
Mine does that until I go to the contacts app. It seems like my contacts have to refresh before pics show up in the messaging app.

Notxel posted a fix for that in the Iced Glacier thread that worked for me. If you go into application management, click all, find contacts and contact storage, clear data in both, then after your phone really syncs, it should be fixed. Hope this helps...

worked
worked for me too, except after i got my facebook account to finally link to my contact card, all the contacts in my messages decided to unlink themselves from their respective facebook accounts... Re-linked them and all is well... weird
I recently got this as my first android phone. My friend convinced me to perma-root this phone and I did. I now have CyanogenMod 7. However, a few things are bothering me. My calender is not syncing up correctly for some reason, and my contacts book looks so much more dull without the facebook links and their statuses under their names, as it did with the original interface/operating system I was using (stock that was loaded with HTC stuff).
Are there any apps that compensate or do the same thing as that friend linker?
Thank you
Assuming you mean linking you calendar with Gmail, this is a known issue. Go to settings, applications, all, Gmail, then clear data. You wont lose your emails as they're in the cloud and it should remedy your problem.

Link your Facebook account under accounts then go to contacts -> settings -> display options then click show the fb contacts.

I am currently on cm7 rc3 and before I downloaded this I had all my contacts linked to facebook but now when I go to my contacts it shows notes next to there name something like <htc data><facebook>id and alot of numbers. I have tried photo unlocker even dialer one but still does not give me the option to link contacts I also do have the facebook app. In my phone and did the sync setting with facebook and still nothing. When I used photo unlocker it did unlock about 3 contacts pics and facebook info. I just liked seeing all my facebook pics in phone book has anyone else ran into this problem and been able to fix it.
Google stopped the Facebook link in 2.3.3

Not sure how well this would work being CM7 doesn't have HTC Sence but you could try installing the "Facebook for mytouch 1.0" apk thats in the stock T-Mo ROM i know thats the APP for stock that updates the linked contacts. Just make your you backup your everything in case it screw up your rom
Thanks a lot but I downloaded Easy sync and it worked great for syncing my facebook contact's it's a paid app but it was well worth it.
So with the upcoming release of royal ginger 1.5 I wanted to save Just my contacts stored on my phone to the sim or make a file on the sd card.
Everytime I go to contacts-import/export it ends up saving 260contacts when I only have 160 actual phone numbers. The 260contacts includes gmail email addresses and a bunch of nonsense.
I turned off contact sync for my google account and all that still.
Is it possible to delete all contacts on sim and replace with an updated 160?
Help is appreciated.

I did it backwards I think. I saved all to gmail, then deleted them from SD, no Sim though (Imagine it's the same process).
I then cleaned up my gmail, and then re synced it via phone.
When updating to Royalginger 1.5 you wont lose contacts but you will lose SMS and mms

Just use My Backup Pro. Very Easy to use.
I recently installed CM7 on my phone and I have been periodically switching between my backup of stock 2.2 and CM7, in order to retain the functionality of my phone but use CM7 when I want to. I'd like to make CM7 my everyday platform. However, I'm having a problem with contacts.
I have my initial stock froyo contacts backed up to my google account using the default settings, and on CM7 it is importing contacts from the google account and from facebook. Problem is, it didn't import many of the phone numbers I added to facebook contacts as part of the motoblur contacts list. The other problem is on CM7 I can't edit a facebook contact to also make them a phone contact, which frankly is a bit ridiculous based on how simplistic it is to do using 2.2 with motoblur.
How can I transfer all my contacts from 2.2 to CM7? Also, how do I add a phone number to a facebook contact without creating a completely different contact on CM7?
Contacts.vcf look up the instructions. Worked for me. Hope that helps.
