try this

go to contacts > press menu button (left button) > choose export to sd card :D
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] eksdiey:
hmmm.i think what he is saying is that if we can make the default storage of contacts be in sd card so he wont need to resync after wipe data.

as far as i know it can't? don't know if others can but me myselft don't know any method to do it.

can press "Thanks" if i helped,;]
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] dheeraj (dhlalit11):
2nd post op is right can tact can be exported to sdcard with that option and after a wipe they can be restored

one other thing the op of thread can do is go to "contact to display" setting and unticking Google from the list
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] sieja7:
Personaly i think it's not good idea, things are saving in phone memory (like widgets, contacts, settings) are essential to good working phone without his sd card. Placing there contacts is quite weired :|. Wonder that would be unpractical if you using 2 sd cards :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Twiq:
okay, here's a tip how i reorganize my contacts so i dont have duplicates and also clean contacts database..

at first we need to use gmail and it would be easier to open it from pc..

step 1 : sync your phone contacts with google

step 2 : open gmail, login and go to contacts (click on the text gmail, you'll see 3 menus: gmail, contacts and tasks.. choose contacts)

step 3 : export your contacts to sdcard, and import them to gmail.

step 4 : on the left, choose "My Contacts"

step 5 : select all contacts, and on the "More" drop down menu, select "Find & merge duplicates..."

step 6 : recheck your contacts manually for empty names or numbers/emails without names (in my case, there are some emails with no name, so i just delete the not important ones, and merged the ones i recognise with the correct contacts)

now, if you think you've sorted all of the contacts then you could MERGE/DIVIDE the contacts into groups..

you could do that by ticking all the contacts and click the "Groups" drop down menu, and uncheck everything except "My Contacts" group.. this step is to remove "imported" groups from android..

if you need to divide contacts into groups then you can select the contacts and create a new group from the "Groups" drop down menu..

Now, if you think your contacts are perfect, this is the last step.

EXPORT YOUR GMAIL CONTACTS to pc for safety reason.. then

DELETE ALL YOUR CONTACTS FROM THE PHONE (you could install "go contacts" or similar app to easily bulk remove them.)

SYNC your contacts from your phone

and you are done.. after all contacts are correctly synched to your phone, you could export them again to SDcard for later use..

sorry if the steps are messy and maybe a little unclear, if there's any questions just let me know :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] falrein:
Since I couldn't find an LGP690 model thread, I figured I'd post here since the CM7 thread for the model is also on this forum (sorry if this is the wrong thread)

Does anyone have the stock LGP690 messagine apk and LG keyboard apk? I've tried one of the flashable LG keyboard APK's on the forums, but for some reason, it's rather huge on my screen when used. I'm using CM7 for the P690 and I was wondering if it was possible to replace the messaging apk that comes with CM7 with the LG messaging apk as I prefer the chat bubble appearances and I'm quite used to it. (I do not like to use other messaging apps :x )

If anyone is wondering what my current LG keyboard installation looks like, it looks like the attachment. As you can see, there is an additional smiley button (which I find useless as I do not need it) and there is a missing dot (.) button on the right side of the spacebar, like in the original LG P690 stock keyboard.

[Nook Color Android Development] inportb:
I love Debian, and I think it's nice to have a chroot environment full of useful tools. However, there's always a barrier keeping Android and Linux from talking to each other. This is why BotBrew is designed to not rely on a chroot system.

PengDroid is an experimental chimera of Android and Linux that gives you access to a chrooted Linux userland while preserving access to the Android system.

If this sounds dangerous, let me explain why this is safe. Have a look at the root directory of a Linux system and the root directory of an Android system; notice how they don't overlap much. This means that we could safely map some of the most useful Android directories into the Linux namespace; there's no need to modify the Android side. Let's see the code.

I made a prebuilt archive to demonstrate this method. In exchange for trying, you get a nice Debian chroot. What's not to love?!

download pengdroid.tgz to your Android device

unpack it to /data (or /sd-ext): tar zxvf path/to/pengdroid.tgz -C /data

run it: /data/pengdroid/init

For a quick sanity check, run: getprop ro.product.model (whoa, Android inside Linux)

Then, for some more fun: apt-get ;)

By default, no repositories are enabled.

Note: Before we start installing packages from Debian, we should actually install Debian. Wait, what? Right, PengDroid is so small because it packs just enough for us to use dpkg/apt; but many Debian packages assume that we have a complete setup. To bootstrap a minimal Debian installation, run /debian.sh (which makes the final installed size a whopping 58mb). If that's too much, keep reading.

Advanced Usage

Installing a minimal Debian gives us a fairly complete, but still small, *nix system. If we wanted to go even lighter, but still have a reasonably robust setup, we could run the alternative installer: /debian.sh apt -- which installs a complete dpkg/apt system.

It's a hassle to run /data/pengdroid/init all the time, but we could fix that by making a shortcut:

busybox mount -o remount,rw /system
echo '/data/pengdroid/init -- "$@"' > /system/bin/pengdroid
chmod 0755 /system/bin/pengdroid

Now, we could just prefix everything with pengdroid, like so: pengdroid python

Or, if we just want a shell: pengdroid
[Nook Color Android Development] BobbyBest:
Awesome! Although you can probably do better on the name assignment, this is another great step transforming Android into a real Unix Distribution ;)
[Nook Color Android Development] inportb:
Yeah, the name's awkward. But I figured I'd roll this into BotBrew some day, when we slim it down enough. It's already pretty tiny for a Linux distro, but it could be even smaller if all we want is a package manager.
[Nook Color Android Development] inportb:
PengDroid is now on a diet. It installs to some 7.7mb, with a 3.5mb download size. This is good enough to support package management, and we're one command away from a minimally-functional Debian setup (instructions in OP).

/edit:

I just fixed a potential privilege escalation vulnerability in init.c, and added some new PATH-handling code. Instead of overriding the PATH, it now prepends to it. In addition, if PATH contains a double-colon ( :: ), it inserts its additions between the colons instead of prepending. To install the new init executable without reinstalling, do (outside of PengDroid):

wget http://dl.inportb.com/pengdroid.init
cp pengdroid.init /data/pengdroid/init
umount /data/pengdroid
rm pengdroid.init

/edit:

It seems that Debian Squeeze is a bit too old for our needs. Specifically, for reliable package management across many types of Android devices, we need multiarch support. So now, I'm tracking Debian Sid.
[Nook Color Android Development] mateorod:
Excited to see the debian runit scripts and how they operate. I am too noob to know the difference between the Debian distros, but I have learned to trust you in such decisions.;)

How about adding the pengdroid symlinks to bbsh when it makes it to +1?

I'm sure it or something like it is already firmly in the testing phase. Sounds like SOP now that I write it. I just always forget and try to get a pengdroid shell between flashes.

Watch, he's gonna tell me an easier way I should know already...:rolleyes:
[Nook Color Android Development] Die_Panzerfaust:
Sweet, Finally, Debian & Android rolled up together in a neat little package. Il test this out later,

& do you hail from West or South London by any Chance, where i come from "Peng" is a slang term for "Sexy" :P
[Nook Color Android Development] inportb:
Oh snap, I lost track of this thread :o

You might have noticed a pengdroid.zip archive in my files. That's a self-extracting package for those who don't have a working tar utility. You could extract it using unzip, or just run the file like a program:

chmod 0755 pengdroid.zip
./pengdroid.zip

We'll essentially be killing the existing sysvinit system and offering additional packages containing runit scripts. sysvinit is pretty good, but not enough to keep track of services.

I'd like to have [almost] perfect compatibility with the current BotBrew. BotBrew works by attaching its own filesystem (which conveniently lives under /botbrew) to the existing Android tree. Pengdroid turns this relationship on its head: it attaches crucial parts of the Android filesystem to the Debian tree, and then chroots into Debian. Technically, the chroot/reversal is not required, but it simplifies cleanup.

In BotBrew+1, /botbrew lives within the Debian filesystem tree already. After chrooting into Debian, we have automatic access to /botbrew as before. But what about direct access without chrooting? That's easy... just selectively attach the debian/botbrew directory the same way we've always been doing. So we'll need a couple of changes:

bbsh needs to detect if it's called from within the chroot and handle that special case

the init program (for starting the chroot) should add /botbrew/bin to the PATH

Multiarch is another fun thing to play with. Debian recently (officially) gained the ability to install libraries for multiple architectures at the same time. For example, this lets you have both i386 and amd64 software installed on your 64-bit system. In BotBrew, we'll take advantage of this to install both Debian packages and Android-native packages.

Why are we still planning to distribute the old stuff (repacked from Opkg) if we could get all of that and more from Debian? Simply put, these Android-native packages tend to be more efficient in terms of execution speed and space usage. But during the testing phase, I'd like to use Debian software primarily because we get those for free :cool:

Just a coincidence, I assure you, since I'm on the other side of the great pond :) I thought this might be an appropriate name for a penguin cyborg, that's all.

In working for years with computers I have to say hard drives are very volatile. If I got more than 5 years or so out of a consumer hard drive up until the past few years I considered it good. Its the only part of your computer (besides fans) that has consistently moving parts.

But its true I do feel like its 1995 again with all this juggling of free space. Its pretty annoying actually
[Xperia Play General] Sunjay140:
Why would we need 4GB? We wont fill up 512MB
[Xperia Play General] DanielEGVi:
I feel you bro, I got 62mb free on my internal memory, no more than 400mb free in my 8gb SD card and 2gb left on my 270gb HDD, so I definitely won't be using any link2sd thingies any soon, until I buy a new SD card, just because the damn phone nor the sdcard that comes with it doesn't come with any space for your stuff, due to the .android_secure folder occupying like 2gb and a half. It's pretty awkward, yet the phone is worth it.

I'm having a constant battle with internal storage.

I only have a few apps on my internal storage having moved most with APP2SD or Titanium yet it keeps going down.

Flash is like 12MB. But if I move it with Titanium, it tells me it is not installed.

Same with Twitter, If i move it, it doesn't allow me to sign in.

I constantly have 40mb or less free and yet I've got like nothing installed on internal memory. I don't know what's taking up all the space, anyway I can see for definite?

Thanks.

I think he means moving apps from the data partition to the system partition (where your base rom is stored-the stuff that is still there when you wipe data/factory reset), thus freeing up space on your data partition, which is where apps you install normally are stored.
