Guest Villarous Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 Is there any way to take backups of your contacts so you can restore them after installing a new rom? I just lost all my contacts and it doesnt help to save them on the SIM card, its limited and so on.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest chucky.egg Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 I found a contact backup app on the Market - it just copies ALL of your Contacts to a SINGLE file (VCF file) on your SD card. Sync'ing with Google is handy, if you have a data connection, but I get annoyed with the regular contacts appearing twice (not found a way to stop that).

Guest r00tk1t Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 Just do this for backup: adb pull /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/databases/contacts.db {your way on computer} Do this for restore: adb push {your way on computer} /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/databases/contacts.db Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dr. dre Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 You can even use a software 'sprite backup' which can backup many things, contacts is one of them and the restore is also very easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Arthur Hucksake Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 Does Sprite or other back up apps also save the photos you've assigned to contacts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest schlagg Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 yes Sprite Backup backup your pictures, contact, SMS and many other things (but no apps, for this, i use titanium backup) bought it from the market for less than 1$ @ christmas (now its 4$) test it many times and restore is good ....
