I've been flashing and enjoying all the different roms. I backed up my phone from a few days ago via clockwork recovery and one version has all of the contacts that I need, but when I restore the data after a new flash, not only do I get the contacts I want, but also other things that I don't want to restore.
So for now, I just want to bring over the contacts file that I backed up, and none of the other data. I tried google sync but it only brings over the email addresses, but not the phone numbers of my contact. I tried Titanium Backup, but it did the same thing. I tried Android Backup app, but it won't restore what I backed up.
Where can I find the specific contacts file and what is the best way to back it up and restore it?
This isn't a direct answer to your question however the simplest and most foolproof way is to go into contacts and export the list. You can take that file and import it into your gmail contacts (the option is there). After that you can move the email addresses to another folder within your gmail contacts. (They'll still be just as easily accessed when emailing) After that when you do gmail sync it will always bring back just the phone numbers. Then it's as easy and adding that acccount within your rom. Hope this helps....

Hey all,
I just succesfully flashed Android 2.3.4 to my SGS. Also I succeeded in restoring all my apps with Titanium Backup (I didn't restore System-Apps and Data). I linked the new system to my Google Account, and hoped that my phone contacts would be restored. However they are all gone and although my phone syncs with my Google Account it doesn't retrieve the contacts. What can I do? Are they somewhere in the Titanium Backup?
Thanks for your help.
have you checked that you set your phone to show you google contacts?
you can set it in display settings in your contacts
I've searched in vain for an answer to this. I'm running the new Virtuous Affinity v2.05.0. I keep my contacts synced with T-Mobile rather than putting them in Gmail. I want to get my contacts synced back to the phone. When I go to add that account (Settings > Accounts & Sync > Add an Account), there is no T-Mobile account type option. Can someone tell me the name of the .APK I need to install to get the T-Mobile account type back? I have a copy of the rooted stock v2.3.4 ROM so I can get any of the included .APKs.
Thanks.

Asked this months ago as most custom roms have it removed...you can flash the rooted stock and let your contacts re sync, then use an app that backs up contacts and then restore them whenever you flash another rom...if you read the thread I linked, there its a way to pull the contacts out of the my tmobile website so you can import them into google. Once your contacts are in google, you won't have to worry about it as long as you own an android phone
Hello, I recently flashed my phone with a custom Cyanogen Mod 7 by VanillaLvL v8 to be specific. Everything is working great except nothing will sync with my Google Account. Contacts are blank, Gmail says waiting for sync, and nothing is synced in Calendar. Has anybody run into this problem before? The whole reason I installed a custom rom was to fix my contacts, and now they aren't working. XD
I should mention I manually put some contacts in by importing a vcard file I exported from contacts.google.com on my desktop computer. However I would really like it to sync everything and for gmail and calendar to work. Thanks in advance for any help!
I seemed to have fixed the problem. The solution was to go to Settings>Accounts and Sync add another google account and then remove it.

Hi.
As title says Incoming phone calls not associated with contacts.
What ive tried:
* restore to previous date via google contacts on the web - unsuccessful
* restore to previous twrp backup - this works but as soon as i sync with google it brakes
* again restore to previous twrp backup but before i sync i export my contacts and delete all contacts via the web to import then sync. - this was ok but as soon as i sync with google it brakes again.
im out of ideas, anyone who has a better one to solve this?
Phone is a Galaxy s4+ i9506 running Cyanogen 12: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...nogenmod-12-0-galaxy-s4-lte-gt-i9506-t2988464
My guess for when this started is after running Contacs Sync Fix https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.ivary.ContactsSyncFix&hl=en - which was supposed to fix contact sync errors. I did have a backup of my contact data but as soon as i setup a google account and it syncs it brakes. In retrospect instead of running this app i should have just removed the account then readded it. You live and you learn.....

1. Wipe all and flash a STOCK ROM.
2. Go to GMAIL and log in your account of Google. Modify or delete the contacts you wish (like in the pic attached). Don't restore any backup coz seems corrupted or with bugs.
3. Log in to your account of Google (gmail) in your android and you are done.

thanks for your reply! I however did a slightly different option instead of installing stock rom i wiped sys/data and boot flashed with cm and finally when restoring from titanium backup only selected a few apps being careful NOT to select anything to do with call log or contact.. sofar so good! Thanks for the hint
