So, I want to back up the contacts I had on my phone sim card before flashing rom -Aokp task 650-.
I really cant stand that it auto synched all my google contacts. In fact... I think the invention of synch should be completely eliminated it messes up everything.
So I only want to have phone contacts and nothing to do with any synch or email or anything. I think i been clear enough haha.
Also the jellybean limits my options about contacts and sim card and such.
So...what options do i have?
Thank you in advance.

1. Get GoContacts or GoContactsEx. You can export all your contacts into an XML file. After you load your ROM, simple import the list back.
I would strongly recommend this cos of ease. Plus, you could keep multiple copies of contacts export files.
2. In TiBu, backup contacts storage, and restore later and reboot.

Go into contacts...hit menu... select contacts to display. Then select which ones you want to display i.e. phone, Google, Facebook, etc. Or create customized list. Phone is what is saved to your phone not Google. When you flash it's basically nothing but you
So do i have to reflash the rom and wipe everything from recover?
Update!
Ok i decided to delete all and simply impirted from simcard. All is as it should be.
Thank you.

SIM card has limits on number of fields you can store. So if all you store is numbers, this method should work great.

He should be able to export his id card from his phone and import it to his Gmail account which will add the contacts to his account. But if the contacts are all gone he's screwed
OK, so, I don't want to run Exchange on my personal phone anymore (I have a mandatory carry BB) but I want to keep all the contacts.
I don't want to use kies, or any app to do a backup (cause I try custom roms all the time) I just want the contacts.
Anyone know how to rip them out to be put back in w a custom rom without an app?

I know its a vcf file, but how to import without using exchange to do it.

Are these contacts also on your bb? Because when you remove exchange from your epic the exchange contacts will disappear then you can share them from your bb using bluettoth and then they will sync with Google and always be available in the future
This was the simplest way for me. I know there are other ways however I am not familiar with them

You should be able to export them to the SD card, remove the Exchange account, then import them again.

I don't know of a way to restore directly from dropbox. I believe it WS designed as a means to store the backups rather than restore from there.

Right. There are some apps on the market you can use to download from drop box to your phone. I've never used them but its worth a shot if you don't have a PC near by.

This is a noob question. After getting the JB update every time I unlock my screen a little note on the bottom pops up saying no calendars selected. What is that and how do I remove it? Appreciate your guys help.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
I've never run the stock JB, but there's probably an option in settings>accounts where you can select a calendar for the phone to sync with. Just sync to a calendar you never use if you don't want to use the the feature. If that doesn't fix it, factory reset the phone.
