Are you just missing the Google Apps? Most people's contacts are either associated with their Gmail account or the Facebook account.
If you need the Gapps, go to http://goo-inside.me/gapps and download the appropriate ones (the 20110307 are likely the most appropriate).
If you didn't back up your previous ROM, you cannot retrieve your "stuff", but once you install the Gapps, you can download any previous Market purchases again.

Are you referring to the built in hotspot tether or the app wireless tether? There is a fix for the app. Search the forum to find it if that is what you mean. Go into settings and then accounts and sync and make sure Facebook is set up to sync. If that doesn't help be a little more specific as to what you mean. Could be as simple as a fix permissions and reboot!

Yo. So, I've been wanting to experiment with CM6 because you guys rant and rave over it, so I change my bootloader and nandroided my Fresh 3.3 setup. I have a Titanium from my Fresh 3.3 days as well.
So, how do I get my contacts/apps/settings and stuff back? This rom is obviously AOSP, so my settings for Sense-based applications don't have a place. What about my contacts? They were in my HTC Contacts app. Is there a way to transfer them to the stock Android Contacts app?
Should I restore my Titanium backup, or is that a bad idea because this is AOSP? I searched, but no luck. I'm sure somebody's done this.
Edit: Also, in other news, I don't have a data connection. Was there a radio update I should've done or something?
Bump. Come on, I want to use CM6 to its fullest. I tried another search and I can't find much.

The easiest way to back up contacts with aosp is with gmail and google apps.
The contacts should have synced into your Google/Gmail account. If it didn't, you probably messed up by disabling background syncing either completely or by disabling contact syncing specifically.
Mybackup..for everything.

Thanks for the responses. So, Google should have put my contacts back on by now? I have automatic sync enabled and everything, but I've never had it restore my contacts before. I signed into Google upon installing the gapps zip on the CM6 page, but still no contacts.
Also, can I hit restore "all data and apps" and stuff in Titanium, or is that a bad idea?

Better question: Did you have background sync, your Google Account, and Google Sync enabled back on your previous ROM?
Check https://www.google.com/contacts to be sure.
I ended up nandroiding back to my Fresh setup, exporting my contacts to my SD and then going back to CM6 and importing them. Then Google synced them without any problems. The apps don't really matter.
I'm really digging CM6. I thought I would miss Sense a lot and switch back after an hour, but this is awesome.

Hey all,
What I'm looking for sounds simple to me, but seems to be a challenge.
I want to sync facebook, now you will say haxsync or friend caster, but they don't sync phone numbers. I'm looking for a way to make the stock Facebook app sync with the phone
Thanks
Only way is to use a rom that allows you to flash a facebook sync mod like this where it enables it on the rom or has it already built in.
Its taken out of the stock rom thats why everyone recommends HaxSync, I'm sure you already know this but adding a Facebook account on the stock rom doesn't do anything.

Thanks for the fast reply!
I've been using haxsync for awhile, but only just realized it doesn't sync numbers. Checking out the link you posted
Thanks!

Try Contapps in the market... it syncs with Facebook and if there are those that don't sync (different spelling, etc.) then you can manually link them to whatever contacts to facebook friends...
i was looking for this as well and i came across this thread for ICS FB sync. it worked for me! (but u should backup first, just in case)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631796
That ROM is for ICS..will the mod work for stock JB?

So my dad has the EVO 4g I'm pretty good with tech stuff but this I just can't figure out, his phone was acting werid so I did the first trouble shooting you do with anything power off power on however when we powered it on all the contacts were gone, when you look at view theres 900 contacts but with no phone number any ideas

Does he have a google account setup?? Because if he did is only a matter of signing to your Gmail and they all should be stored there.
Yes he does I thought the same thing I was like its fin Google backs it up but nope not there either
Sent from my PG86100 using xda app-developers app
This may sound funny but could it be possible that he has more than one and you're not using the right Gmail account? Well in any case you can go into that Gmail account that he used from a computer and check if those contacts are there; now if the're not then I think is fair to say they're gone almost for sure... Now if they are there then we can figure out a way to get those back in there.

Is he on a stock rom or have you installed something non-stock for him? Also, as stated above, log in to contacts.google.com and see whats there. If they are there then go into accounts/sync, disable google contacts sync then reboot, connect to good wifi connection, and re-enable contacts sync.
If they aren't showing up in contacts.google.com theeeeeen I might try another reboot. Or maybe fix permissions if you are rooted and your recovery supports it.

Hi there, Facebook syncing is a feature that I miss from a custom ICS rom I used to have. I read somewhere that there might be JB Roms that support this feature but I haven't been able to find one, so before I give up I want ask you directly.
Now before you answer make sure to read this, what I am truly looking for are the numbers and not anything else, so please don't redirect me to HaxSync or FriendCaster because I don't care about high-res pictures or calendar events. If there is a third party app that can sync numbers i'll happily take it. If there really is no way to workaround this issue then, oh well. Thanks for your time guys.
Maybe Haxsync will work

There is a workaround to just copy & replace ur contactproviders.apk
I have used it on a jb rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35867380
It enables u to sync contacts with pics. No calendar though
Make sure to backup orig file. Replace. Set permissions. Reboot. Clear fb, contacts cache. Reboot. U do have to manually join.
But for now m happy w/o getting any extra app can sync

Working on BlackBean, just hit sync on Facebook app... all my contacts and numbers are in People
So this past weekend i rooted my phone using cf autoroot and Odin. I sucessfully rooted my phone and then flashed Cyangoen Mod 10.1.2 onto my phone with no problems what so ever. Everything went very smoothly and had no hiccups along the way. The only thing that i have noticed is that my facebook contact pictures have not synced up with my phone's contact list. I went into the facebook settings and made sure that the contact sync option was selected. Even after i had hit Sync the photos were not showing up for the contacts. I am doing something wrong here? Or did i miss a simple step that should have been done? I am not sure if cyanogen mod supports this or not, but any and all help is greatly appreciated!!
You'll have to use something like Friendcaster or Ubersync or use a rom with the fix built in (e.x. Rootbox). If you search you can find a flashable fix, but it wouldn't work for me when I was trying CM.

I use HaxSync. Syncs contacts, calendar, everything. Bought the $.99 paid version. Haven't had a problem.

I would highly reccomend Ubersync. Works great!!
