[Q] Backup of Android Contact Links - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So, I just asked this question in the CM7 thread, but figured it didn't hurt to ask to all Tbolt Developers...
Is there any way to backup your contact links? For instance, I linked a bunch of my phonebook contacts to my facebook contacts, but if I perform a full wipe those links do not get synced and I have to manually relink all of the contacts again (which takes quite some time!).
I noticed that the Facebook for Sense contact information gets synced, but after a wipe the regular Facebook link information does not.
I am running CM7 RC0.6 and really want to flash the newest ROM with MR2 support, but want to do a full wipe first and would love to not have to re-link all of my contacts to facebook again.
Thank you!!

Cool rom bro... what features does it have? Screenshots?

I used to have to go through all that as well on my old Eris. I never discovered a way to back them up so I just changed my contacts name to match their Facebook names and no more problems.

Do you think if I backed up and restored Contact Storage with titanium backup the links would be preserved?

Bruce, this thread belongs in the general or q&a section. Please get it moved by contracting the mod. This section is only for dev threads like roms, kernels, radios.

I have the same issue, though with time (and deleting lots of contacts/renaming some) it appears to pick up most of them and relinks about 20-50 at a time over the course of the few hrs it takes to sync completely.
edit: Also, yes this thread should be moved to the Q&A section.

I want use it to monitor certain forum for new post /thread, hope it has a function that can notify me when a new thread is created.

You dont need an app for that, just go to the sub forum you wanna monitor and choose subscribe under "forum tools". The option may be different for each forum but look around, there should be a way. Once you've subscribed, they'll send you email notifications on new posts/new threads for that particular sub forum.
maybe tapatalk can help you.. with widgets otherwise subscribe or go for rss

What sms app do you use?

I can't seem to get away from Go sms. I love the themes and the layout. Also like the fact you can batch add contacts to send mass txt easy. All in all a great sms app.

I used handcent for a while until I tried go sms. Never looked back.

I tend to use just the regular Messaging app. I mean, I tried GO SMS, and...I liked it...but for a guy like me who's constantly flipping ROMs, it seems like way too much hassle.

How's that? I just back up with titanium backup and when I do a batch restore my go sms is ready to be used.

Wow sorry, figured since it was discussing apps then the apps section would be where to discuss apps.
Infraction for posting something in the wrong section? Never seen that on any forums before and I'm a super mod/mod on a few forums.

Go SMS is my choice. all the go dev. team apps are great ( Launcher, Locker, Contacts, SMS ... etc )

New sms not appearing on top

I'm using cm9, andI recently backed up and restored my sms. Now whenever I get a new text, it appears but isn't pushed to the top of the list. What's up with that?
Check your system time. Are the timestamps in order?
When did this forum become the place to report bugs in CM9/whatever app you used to backup/restore SMS?
cm9 disgustion thread might be good place to ask before posting new thread

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1747224
For any of you who want the Google Now feature from jellybean. The update came out yesterday finally got voice working. So its pretty much a fully functional Google Now port
Edit: its more of a work around for voice. But it works well

Thread Closed
It's nice to know that improvements were made on the Google Now app.
However, in the interest of keeping the thread a little cleaner, I will close this thread. And the reason, is that any issues resulting from the Google Now app, should be put in the apps OP, or the Q&A forum.
Not to mention I think all people know about the app, and it thus constitutes duplicate threads.

Handcent SMS issue

Been using handcent since my first android great app! But recently it started not sending picture messages but every other message app i try including stock (cm11) will send pictures. Does anyone have an idea on how to fix it? Ive uninstalled it and reinstalled it wiped cache factory reset (other issues too) its really annoying and i really like the app.
I think this needs to be in that questions section. This would be an app question. Or might wanna check you apn and make sure it's all correct.
