TitaniumBackup does save contacts, you need to restore manually maybe Contact-backup-blabla (text is colored green in the list) and you need to reboot device.

But what is strange - for some reason data from my Gemini Calendar has not been restored :( I entered so many events... Damn...
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Whippler:
there is backup for "Contacts and dialer" which i suppose is the app, and other entry for "CONTACTS/CALLS" which i think is the actual data. but since i have google sync up i'm not sure.

Also if you are so worried about google, how about that CarrierIQ that lies deep in the kernel and logs all your key-presses and sends em to everybody?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shortlived:
Cant help you with ti but i can recomend useing the option to download all contacts from google. That way you have a backup if they ever get wiped for some reason. Good luck

love TB makes romming a breeze! Just use google contacts sorry you had a bad experiance but i have always used them or the carriers backup service in the past. Like the others said if you want that feature then get an app that supports is specifically or export from google lol.

Got a solution?

Hi everyone,

ahmadka, did you manage to restore your contacts?

Because I am facing the same problem. I switched from stock 2.2 to Cyanogenmod 7.1

I did a backup with TiBu. I backed up the ROM with ROM Manager.

I even backed up my SMS and Call logs using separate applications.

I thought TiBu would restore my phone contacts, but no.

There is an entry called contacts in TiBu, but it only restores a few contacts, not all.

I know the contacts are in the stock ROM, in a contacts database file, but how to retrieve them?

Do I have to flash the stock ROM, backup my contacts and reflash Cyanogen?

Isn't there a simpler way?

Thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
never had or heard of anyone loosing contacts stored through google, but whatever. i doubt there are many developers trying to make apps for android for something google does so well already.

titanium back isnt and i doubt will ever be a place to backup and restore contacts.

solutions, use google sync

use a pen and paper

download to simcard

download to sdcard

make your own app that does this

by an iphone, then go on apple forum and complain to them

ok just being an ass, sorry in one of those moods

Hello-

I'm pretty good with electronics, I had a guy remotely flash my and my hubbys Droid X, everything was fine, my data went out a week ago, his is still fine. I lost the instuctions, the guy gave me to flash it, I still have the files on my computer, can anyone tell me how to use the files??? (Like a step by step guide)

Here are the Files I have on my computer:

TCPCom6 Setup

A folder called: Root22 and Files, with these files in it...

1. adb

2. Adbwinapi

3. Adbwinusbapi

4. Apps

5. DoRoot

I also have anycut on my phone already with APNS, but did those over and nothing.

I myself haven't done this before, but if I have instructions on these files than maybe, also I still have voice and wifi, but text and data are gone.

Don't know what to do, it's driving me crazy!!

Thanks in Advance!

Accidentally click on "update" when it prompts. It makes no sense to have OTA update enabled for customized ROMs, but anyway to disable it? Thanks all.
[Motorola Photon 4G] poppet:
This might do it

Just try for errors. I used root explore to edit the file "build.prop" in the system folder. Changed the Blur version to a large number (much larger than a practical one) and also change the rdf link information to an invalid one, as follows.

ro.mot.hw.uaprof=http://uaprof.motorola.com/phoneconfig/MotoMB999/profile/MotoMB999.rdf

ro.build.version.full=Blur_Version.99.9.9.MB855.Sprint.en.US

Then you need to reboot and wipe your cache with CM. After did so, the OTA update windows has never popped up so far and I won't even get the OTA update through the setting menu. But not sure if these edits will cause other issues, so you may try at your risk.

I would be interested to know if that effectively solves the issue, my Photon is running Laser and just today has started bugging me about the update every 3 hours.

[Motorola Photon 4G] Admiralj21:
For those that might not be as technically inclined or you don't want to take the chance in editing your build.prop you can also do this:

1. Download bloat freezer from the market. (its free)

2. I should have said first you have to be rooted or it wont work

3. Open bloat freezer and it will list all apps and processes; scroll down until you see "Updater".

4. Freeze that process. It will stay frozen until you defrost it.

5. That is it no more OTA pushes or Notifications

I know we all don't like OTA updates when you're unlocked, rooted, and running a custom rom and/or kernel. The hassle of flashing back and forth can be annoying too so this is a simple fix until we get custom radio's for the photon :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
The new Joker ROM is based off the latest OTA. But I think you have to install to leak to update the radios and what not then install the ROM. But you won't get any OTA updates as you'll be on the latest version. Home Base/Alien/Star Wars are all running on the 154 build.
[Motorola Photon 4G] KTT16:
You could also edit the build.prop file so that the system thinks you have the latest version...but you won't have all the fixes, so you should probably flash the latest SBF.

[Epic 4G General] handymanxda:
Why do so many people ask the same question? It is like the exact same question and nothing has changed in over a month. Best ROM is ALWAYS a matter of opinion and what works for you. Just read the threads for each ROM and find out what problems it comes with and what improvements are in there and decide if it is right for you. Some wipe all bloatware and Sprint apps, some don't, some have themes and some don't....gotta read.
[Epic 4G General] JohnCorleone:
Yup, its all about personal preference. Also, ROMs behave differently on each phone. I couldn't get SRF 1.0 or 1.1 to work right ever on my Epic but 1.2 works great. Yiu really have to try them out
[Epic 4G General] Tomcat5:
Best that I've Used

The best ROM that I have used is the ERA OLYMPUS ROM. It feels very stable and is extremely fast. It might be a placebo but it feels like the GB ROMs are much snappier than stock Froyo. I did change out the theme on the ROM though. The Stockish ROM was cancelled but the ACE theme that is linked to on the page looks really nice. I also flashed Chris' updated EH17 Plus kernel onto this. so far I've had to redo the ROM a few times but that has been mostly due to my own negligence, such as swapping SD cards with my friend's Droid X about 20 times in one day while trying to help him fix it. One good thing is that I may only have a random reboot 2 or 3 times a day. I can deal with that. Overall I really like this ROM and it is just as good as any stock OTA GB that may come out in the future.
[Epic 4G General] Big Money Wides:
I haven't tried many, but I have SRF 1.2 now, and it's awesome. Well worth it to try it out IMO.

Here people on xda are great or pm me if I could help I will aight!!
[Epic 4G General] Neckberg:
You can flash the zip anytime, on or off. I am not sure exactly how it works, but basically with it off anytime your battery dies, or comes out or phone shuts off any way other than holding power, when you restart you will have uncontrollable force closes. With it on you lose a pinch of performance (not really noticeable) but you will not worry about the force close issue in case anything happens.

Most of us suggest having it on.
[Epic 4G General] shane6374:
Journaling costs you a little speed but helps you data from getting corrupted in case of a bad shutdown, bad flash, battery falls out, ect. I always turn journaling on.
[Epic 4G General] dead78:
thanks for the response.

believe it or not, I actually haven't had any unplanned shut downs since flashing to SRF 1.2 (along w/Genocide 1.1) a few months back but, lately (as in the last few days), I've noticed that my battery performance has really dropped. in addition, my phone has exhibited some occasional flakey behavior: one in particular is making a phone call, seeing that I'm connected (call timer starts ticking away), but hearing total silence. the person on the other end receives a call from me but they can't hear a damn thing from my end. this problem is only corrected with a reboot or shut down. I was curious if my not having journaling enabled could be accounting for any of it. like I said, these issues are recent, and I do live in an area now with considerably worse Sprint coverage than before. For example, in my apartment, I can't even get a reliable Sprint signal. Without my Airvana (which has huge issues with maintaining a consistent lock onto the GPS) I couldn't even really use my phone without roaming on Verizon.

anyway, just a bunch of stuff that's been bugging me and I'm not entirely sure what to do about it.
[Epic 4G General] JohnCorleone:
Sometimes booting into recovery and wiping Cache partition and Dalvik Cache will free up the performance. Its my understanding that over time it can build up causing lag or stuttering..well general performance loss. Anyhow, here's the journal on zip in case you need it..

I vote for ERA Revolt Rom wth the bundled kernel

Posted by Mr. Z's Epic 4G Touch+Keyboard
[Epic 4G General] JohnCorleone:
Honestly ReVolt, SRF 1.2 and Urban Regeneration are all great. Regen is themed blue with apps added and some custom sounds, ReVolt is leaner with a custom kernel based off of Genocide 2.0, SRF 1.2 has a lot of under the hood tweaks that I am not familiar with. Revolt has Hotspot hack baked in lasted version. It is a flashable add on for the other two. They are all excellent choices

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tightwad:
I have been reading a ton of threads on the CM7 rooting. My wifes Nook was rooted using AutoNooter. She maintains the Nook applications, but it sounds like with CM7 you do not. Are they not available stock while booted in CM7?

My nook will be here at the end of the week. I see myself using the tablet functions more than the E-reader functions, but I do like to read. What's the best reader to install to use in CM7? I have Calibre so format should be flexible?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moshe5368:
First, CM7 is a custom ROM so it is already rooted and if installed to Emmc, you will loose the stock reader. That should not be an issue for you as there are several excellent choices for readers out there. I personally use nook for android, google books, kindle, and moon reader. All of them seem to work well for me. I have had CM7 installed since march and used the stock nook for a total of 2 days.

The CM7 install gives me all the functionality of the tablet I wanted and loosing the stock B&N software was a non-issue. Good luck which ever way you decide to go. There are many people here to help you out.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tightwad:
Thanks for the info! I was gathering that it was a complete change...still new to the Android scene...not a smart phone user and this is my first "tablet".

I am planning to boot CM7 from an SD card (read all the SD card threads and ordered a 16GB sandisk). Part of the reason I asked was because I am thinking about my wife's nook...I am not a big fan of how it works on the AutoNooter...but again I probably missed some key parts when doing that as I never fully understood what I was doing, I just followed the instructions.

access to the Kids books from B&N is one of the things my wife misses with her nook, she has only the one "read to me" book that it came with.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] votinh:
You definitely made a right choice.

Note: on your CM7 uSD, you can install the Nook app, but it's horrible, just to let you know in advance.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stolenmoment:

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MuGGzyx:
You want Aldiko Free version, not the "pro/pay" version (it has some graphic bug).

It is absolutely the best E Reader, way better than the Nook app as well.

The only problem is that you have to add the books manually to the phone, I use Calibre to convert and add but you can just drag and drop them to the Nook drive when it is connected in USB mode if you are comfortable doing that too.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tightwad:
How else are books added? Most of my library is in Calibre. Is the format for Aldiko the ePub format?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koopakid08:
Aldiko handles ePubs very nicely.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tightwad:
I can't get books I copy over from my Calibre library to show in Aldiko. I copied them to the Nook>myFiles>Books folder on the nook (emmc) drive. I also tried the "ebooks" folder on the SD card where the 1 book in Aldiko is located (Jack London's)

Any ideas?

I found out how...good ole google search finally came through. This is about as annoying a way as there could be...I have 3K books in my library!
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Taosaur:
I can't imagine they were all purchased from B&N. If you're managing them with Calibre, I also doubt they're all B&N DRMed. Just drop them all in one folder, and import the whole folder using Aldiko like so: from Aldiko home, go to SDcard, navigate to the folder, longpress it, and choose Import.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tightwad:
No, lots of classic books etc. I discovered your method as well...took awhile to load about 1K books.

Lost Wireless when I installed CM7 on SD 201 nightly

I lost my ability to use wireless when I upgraded to 201 nightly. YouTube also bit the dust. I am most interested in regaining the ability to hook up to my router or other wireless access points.

When 201 was installed, I had wireless. Then I installed a few applications and then I noticed YouTube was not working. I deleted Youtube and reinstalled but it was no use.

I shut off the wireless so that I could reconnect thinking a better connection might make Youtube work. NOW wireless would not hook up to my router at all. I deleted my router from the list of wireless sources and tried to find it again. Even with the Nook 1 meter from the router it could not pick up a wireless signal.

Next I saw in the discussions about the most recent nightlies and found out there is a bug. If you hit AIRPLANE MODE in the settings, you can not undo the choice merely by unchecking the box.

A potential work around was discussed, by using the terminal mode and typing:

SU

sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db

delete from system where name = 'airplane_mode_on';

.exit

I tried this but failed to get it to work. I may have entered it incorrectly but I don't think I did. The poster suggested copy and paste but that is not easy with no wireless.

Can anyone help me and others in my situation. How far back would I have to go in the nightlies to correct this and update to 201 again?

Not having wireless is a bummer.

UPDATE:

After my nook sat for a while I tried to hook up to wireless again. It worked! I don't know if it was the script for certain, but I did not re-install anything. I believe it was oldman_58 that resolved this for me. I can't respond to his post, but thank him nonetheless.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=17811412&postcount=5111

The above link goes to his post on this issue.

Thanks Oldman!

Update 2:

Wireless is again missing. The only thing I can think of is to start over with a formatted SD card. If you know a better way please tell me. I am able to get wireless for short periods if there is an application that would help. I installed nightly 202 today, but it did not restore the Wireless.
[Verizon Droid Charge] braveally:
So I recently got a refurbished charge after bricking my original (reflashed to stock, boot looping, nothing posted here worked, store reps confused, I played dumb...) and noticed quite a difference in the way my new charged worked. On my original, even before rooting and stuff, I would get a lot of random resets and freezes especially during navigation. It also got really hot often. Since I got my new charge, I have yet to have a random restart what so ever and this one gets nowhere near as hot as the other. Could this mean my last phone was defective?

I ask because I originally tried to have them check it, but because they couldn't "reproduce" the problem in store, they were unable to help me. Your take?
