I'm on Cyanogenmod 7.1RC-1. I can't find the feature to save contacts to my sim card.
Now I saw this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=999825. Hes talking about an app that can do it, but when I search for that app the comments say it doesn't work properly.
So is there a way to save my contacts to sim? On stock ROM it is possible.
Contact2SIM on Market. Used it personally (Needed to transfer contacts to a dumbphone), and had no issues.
Thanks it worked!
How sad cyanogenmod doesn't have the feature.
How could i read sim contacts on CyanogenMod?

...change the home key to double tap brings up all the home pages, like Sense?
...check for updates?
...save my data (Text, Contacts, etc...) from my stock ROM and import it in to my new ROM?
...move apps to the SD Card?
I have been rooted for a full day and this is all new to me. I have searched around a read a good bit. Love the forum and hope to be able to answer questions soon.
...change the home key to double tap brings up all the home pages, like Sense?
Go to launcher settings..then system settings..then Home button binding. Select option- "move to default desktop/show previews"
...check for updates?
Go to App: ROM Manager- Select Option "Check for Rom Updates"
...save my data (Text, Contacts, etc...) from my stock ROM and import it in to my new ROM?
First- I would start saving all contacts here on out to your Google. Dont save to phone. That way everytime you sign into google on your new ROM, contacts come up instantly. For text messages- I use SMS backup and restore. It's in the market. It backs up on SD card..and you can name each backup...
...move apps to the SD Card?
I had to move to SkyRaider cause I needed BT audio streaming again, but I believe when you go to settings>>applications, theres an option to move to SD card. Be careful when moving apps to SD card, as some rely on being on your phone.
Great! Thanks for the pointers. With this new ROM, I have so many options. I'm loving it.
New question...
My contacts from facebook can't be edited, converted or uploaded to google. Does anyone know of a app that will take my facebook contacts, including birth days phone numbers and email addresses, and convert them into a csv file so that I can upload them to google. I'm assuming that something from facebook is blocking this. But if I have the info on my phone, I should be able to do whit it as I see fit. With sense, you can link contacts on your phone. That's what I'm trying to get back, but keep it on goggle.

i found an app on facebook, but it failed when i tried it..maybe i took out too many options?

Check it out..good luck. I dont believe facebook will let you take out email addresses, cause privacy and stuff like that.
Can someone compile a list or list in this thread ROMs that have VZ BackUp Assitant. Only a handful of my contacts are backed up on Google and some ROMs don't work with Back UP Assitant which is a problem for me. Thanks in advance.
The best way to back up your contacts is to export them to the SD via the option in the menu and then reimport them as Google contacts. That way you can shed your reliance of Verizon.
Most, if not all, should work with the app. Most don't include it, though, so it's simply a matter of getting the apk and installing it.

thank you. I didn't realize this could be done so easily.
another way is to log onto the verizon site (don't remember the link) and export your contacts to a .csv, then import them into google contacts. Easy to clean up and you only have one sync icon in the notification bar. Hope it helps!
Hi
The fact is that the only thing I like from the htc sense is the way it links my google contacts with the facebook contacts, almost automatically.
is there a way to have that on a rom without sense?
Thanks!
In short, no. There are some apps that try to do this however none of them work anywhere nearly as well. If the contact has the exact same name as they do on facebook it will happen in stock by itself, however it is not as good.
Damn, just as i thought.

Thanks anyway!
hi
i'm looking for a software that can MERGE the contacts from GOOGLE,FACEBOOK and the phone itself in a single contact (preferably a .vcf file), instead of LINKING them with others.
due to this, now my DHD has 750 contacts instead of 380 initially.
can anybody refer me any app for this??
Sorry, i have no answer for this, but a small question that I thought it would fit in here, so theres no need for a new thread.
Is it possible to link your own contactcard to an existing contact/synch your own contactcard with google contacts?
I already had myself in my OS X Adresbook and Google contacts, as a result i had myself in double on my phone, so I copied all data to the personal contact card and deleted the old one, but it seems like this one does not get synchronised??
Any ideas to do this without yourself twice in contact list?
Hi everybody!
I have a little problem with the contacts app.
I arrange the contacts into categories but when open the main page of the contacts I get all of them. Is it possible to choose only one category?
For instance, when Im at work I need my business contacts. When Im abroad my abroad contacts etc..
Is there a contacts app that can do this? Otherwise the stock contacts app is fantastic but this is a really important feature for me.

Look around in the market, i'm sure u find what you'r looking for...
Last some days I made an experiments with different ICS ROMs on my Desire.
I tried Sandvold's ROM v0.13 and latest COS-Bravo.
And I found a problem with contacts. ICS on Desire do not let me save a contact as a local phone contact. Remember, on 2.2 there was an option: store to phone, or store into gmail, also it was a possibility to link contacts.
Now the only way - to save save contact as gmail contact.
Does anybody able to save local contacts?
Not sure about local contacts option, but the linking contacts option is a feature in HTC Sense so unless you use that then it will probably not give you the option you are used to. Some ROM's do have alternative features which do the same thing though.
On BCM the same. Only able to store contacts as Google contacts. But hey, who wants local contacts anyway nowadays?

on COS-Bravo it is a possibility of linking. But what the reason for linking gmail with gmail?

Pity...
I hate g-contacts because it spoils photos.
And the main idea - I don't want all my contacts in Gmail (what for?) and all gmail contacts in Phone (lot's of trash, useless to search).
So I think this function is nessesary
