Where are the contacts stored on Folio?
Even after:
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase cache
and installing new rom, the contacts are still on my device.
I want to clear my contact list because I want to sell my Folio100.
they are backed up on your gmail account when ever you set up your devise it will automatically download your contacts

Lately I had been having a problem with my contacts and messages, that I've seen mentioned on here a few times and I seem to have fixed it on my phone. Btw, I am stock, rooted, TWRP, S-ON. The symptoms I was having were:
20-30 seconds to open text messages
entering names to call/text/email would not auto complete
my "people you may know" screen would come up blank
my "linked contacts" screen would come up blank
I tried clearing cache and data on all the contacts storage apps, and wiping cache and dalvik cache, removing my google account and unsyncing facebook account, then wiping all contacts and resyncing them. None of these helped.
Thinking that possibly there was some kind of corruption in the contact database or app, or that I possibly caused something when I restored texts or contacts with Ti Backup at some point, what I did was create a new Ti Backup of Contacts Storage, and a Nandroid just to be safe, then I used Ti's Extract from Nandroid Backup feature to restore Contacts Storage (app + data) from the very first Nandroid Backup I made after I installed TWRP. I had to relink some contacts but everything seems to be working just fine now. From what I can tell, the app version on Contacts Storage hasn't changed, so I think it's a database or config problem.
Hope this helps someone, or leads someone to find the root cause and fix for those who may not have a good backup to go to. Good luck.
I'll need to try that
Update
I backed up the app in TB, wiped the apps data in TB and then restored the apps data again in TB. It helped with the contacts but the messages were slow to load on a few of the threads.

Can i recover my contacts and Messages from the "MyFiles" folder of the phone ?
I copied "My files" data in my laptop and did a factory reset and even after syncing google account i cant get my contacts back.
So is it possible to recover my contacts from the "MyFiles" data ?
isn't all contacts sync automatically to linked google account or manually this has to be done ?
Hi, I'm on v. 21 Indie's AOKP rom. Is it normal that contacts app can use only google account ? I cant restore contacts list to my device android memory. "Starred i android" is empty. In settings to write new contact there is no option to choose where the contact could be stored.
Ive done full wipe before flashing including factory reset and system format coming from 4.3. Thanks for help.

You didn't backed up your contacts to Google out any other place??
If not then it can't be restored...

It is not that kind of problem, I have done backup of my contacts but I cant put it to device memory to make it possible to be seen by for instance contacts widgets.
When I open contacts settings there is no an option for device contacts to be seen at all, only google contacts. Thanks for the reply anyway.
same problem
hello,
my accounts are gone (whatsapp ,viber,skype...)
i haven't done factory reset or wipe any data of ,android\data and whatsapp media and databases are still there ..
maybe i figured that the accounts are in data\system\user?!
the Problem that when i try to copy the backed up user folder,it stuck on samsung logo!
when i copy lock database from data\system , it restore the password with no Problems!
what to do to restore the accounts ?
and is there location is data\system?
just in case something happened ... i am formatting data and sd and everything but it still asking about the google account because i made a factory reset .. could i bybass it using a tool from recovery ?!
Google or Mi account? Do you forget your password? Not have recover number or mail?
You format or wipe (not is the same)? Try to format data, system and internal storage.
If your phone ask for google account you can try to flash via fastboot with MiFlash and in script select clean and lock or clean all.
If ask for Mi account you can try with unnoficial method, search in google or in XDA, i not share the way to "hack" the security of phone sorry.
