Hello everyone!
Recently, I decided to finally root my phone and install a custom rom on it. So far, my experience with slade87's MiniCM has been great... But I have come to miss Sony Ericsson's Sync app. Is there any way to install it on a custom rom?
I have already tried installing the .apk from an unmodded phone, but the program refuses to open; and also checked other posts in this forum. Unfortunately, the only solution seems to be using Google to sync contacts with the phone.
I know, there's nothing wrong with Google Contacts, but I got used to SE Sync already, and in a more practical note, I don't want these contacts to merge with the ones in my Google account.
Thanks in advance.

I want this feature too!
If you don't mind you can use My Phone Explorer
My Phone Explorer
and you need the client for your phone when you use it. try it and see

It is a google account & sync setup.
It is flashable via xrecovery.
just copy it in ur sd card, and choose install custom zip from xrecovery.
Thank me, if it worked
Hey guys,
i am running Cyanogenmod 10.1 since yesterday.
I wanted to resync my contacts with my phone from the software MyPhoneExplorer (a great tool by the way).
I synced it after having some trouble because of the new usb debugging security policy of Android 4.2.2 and all the contacts...suddenly were in my google account.
I would never ever want that to happen. I deleted them all online via my browser.
Afterwards i tried to create a contact ON my phone, but i could only choose to create it for my google account.
Any idea what i am doing wrong?
Is this a bug in 10.1 maybe?
Greetings

Hello everybody,
A few month ago I have deactivated the contact application of my gs3.
Non I can't create or edit a contact in my phone (I use another app).
I don't know how I can reactivate the contact application. (I tried to reinstall but no success)
My phone is not rooted and I have an official stock rom.
Is that an easy way is possible ?
Thanks a lot for your help
This might be a rookie question, but here it goes:
1. What is the best way of saving contacts and SMS messages for transferring over to CyanogenMod? I have already saved them in a backup file with Samsung Kies (if that will work?).
2. Is it easy to go back to the stock ROM if I have the desire to do that?
3. With the stock ROM i have now, I tried to uninstall Skype and re-install it again. However, an error 24 popped up in Google Play, and I see that many others have problems with this occurring! I am apparently unable to install Skype again on my phone. How can I fix this still on the stock ROM?
Thanks for all the help,
- Steria
I did a factory reset (stock ROM) and Skype is now working again.
I plan on installing CyanogenMod in the nearest future, but I need to know:
1) How I can import my contacts and messages from stock to CyanogenMod, and
2) Whether it is easy to get the phone back to the stock ROM again if I choose to do so.
Edit: I looked through my SMS's on my phone, and noticed that many of the messages duplicated themselves, and many of my own replies in the conversations are gone (my conversation bubbles in the convos). How come? If anyone can help me with this as well, I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

I don't know about text messages, but contacts should be backed up to your Gmail account automatically. If not you can turn that setting on and you wont have to worry about them when formatting.
1) You should use the sync option under your google account settings, just sync your contacts that way and your contacts will follow you into every new android based phone you'll use.
For sms messages - the sms database is located at the following location:
Code:
/data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db
I admit that I never used it myself, but i'm pretty sure that this is what you're looking for.
2) Easy or not, it's up to you to decide.... use this guide.
3) I have no idea
Hey,
i am owner of an Cube iPlay10
It comes with stock Android 6.
No Contacts app pre Installed.
Tried to Install Google Contacts App (and other) but i cannot save any contact.
Eventough i have poeple added in my google account, its not syncing them to the tablet.
I have no system application called "contact storage" installed. Either there is no way to install it as an apk afterwards, or i need root!?!
And that will be another problem i guess...
Can you guys help me out?
I have done a video of it on YT for better understanding...
https://youtu.be/7z8CVLxNVBw
Sorry for bad english, i am not a native speaker.
Regards
Did you ever solve the issue? I also have an Iplay10 and I am facing the same problem...
Nope! Wanet to root it to store contacts storage.apk to /app and bricked it i guess!
You bricked it? During the rooting or afterwards when you moved contacts to the system app folder? Mind explaining more how it happened?
I rooted mine by using Magisk, it works fine but I'd really like to get contacts working...
I bricked it while using flash tool. Now its not responding. Only when pluged to the Computer, the PC recognizes a device. Thats all.
Try to find a apk called contacts storage in marshmallow version 6.0 and lut it in system/app folder. Reboot and it should install this apk. This app is missing in system apps so iplay cannot save your contacts.
If it still responds when plugged to computer, you should probably be able to reflash official rom and root it. I followed exactly the steps in that video to root mine:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zcxOFz7CR-I
The video creator has links for all the files, and even the official rom.
Would you happen to have a link to that contacts storage app? Did you hear this from someone else who has an Iplay10 and solved the issue?
i did it with help of this exact video.
smtg went wrong i guess
i have complete rom, preloader all the stuff with scatter file and everything checked in sp flash tool, but when i connect the phone, only a bing appears. SP Flash tool is showing no response. when i unplug the tablet, then sp brings the usual error.
i will oen up a new thread i guess.
try oneof these and tell me if it worked out for you.
https://android-apk.org/com.android.providers.contacts/
(lookout for marshmallow 6)
i have heard it from german android forum, and wanted to do just like that, but then bricked!
I found 2 in that list that were marked as Marshmallow compatible, but both failed upon install. They seem to be signed by specific manufacturers like samsung, etc... and given that they gave an error message upon normal install, I was reluctant to stick them into the system app folder. I don't have a pc handy to reflash or recover so I'm a little paranoid about bootloops/bricks...
Please let me know if you recover your tablet from that brick.
