[Q] Contact list of HERO GSM after flash - Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I have used the unofficial rom from Elelinux for a few months, but I have one question.
Would anybody tell me that how can I get the contact list from SIM card directly without import, just like official 2.1?
Thanks

try settings -> display options -> and check on the google account what contacts to see...but i recommend that you do a back-up and every time you flash a new rom, you just restore (that's what i do all the time)

Yes, I know. But I forgot everytime I flash a new rom, also, I cannot edit the list in SIM card. It's the only point I felt inconvenient after I flashed unofficial rom.

Bluetooth sync contact from older phones

I installed one of the custom roms (could be cyanogenmod7 beta) for Wildfire 1-2months back, and come across a very handy app/tool, where I can sync contact with my older phone via bluetooth. To do that, i dont even have to select all the contacts from my older phone and send it to my Wildfire. I only have to pair it and connect, select the phone model that im using and press ok, and see it magically sync the contacts over from my Sony Ericsson K610 to my Wildfire.
But the rom wasn't stable, so I restored the original rom back to my phone. I couldnt remember what the app was called, or is it a build in function/tool for stock Android rom? Recently I install the stable version of Cyanogenmod 7 and couldnt find this tool anymore, been searching all around android market and Google too but to no avail.
Anyone come across this wonderful bluetooth contact syncing app/tool?
It's a feature present in the Stock ROM's. It's called Data Transfer (Or simply Transfer, can't remember exactly)
EDIT: Transfer Data, thanks to this YT video.

opp(object push profile), obex(object exchange) are the two commonly used protocols.

THANKS! thats what i was looking for, how come this wasnt bundle with Cyanogenmod 7
By the way, where can i get this app?
Its an HTC App, so it wont be bundled with CM.
If you specifically want to use this app, you will have to get a Sense ROM.
Or, you can use one of the many PC Apps which can backup your contacts from your K610 and import them into your Wildfire. (Including the SE Suite which is included on your disc)
EDIT: Someone has posted it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=970907
Although it will probably not work with CM7, you can still give it a try.

The custom sense ROM i used previously doesn't comes with Transfer Data. probably being removed by the ROM developer. Anyway thanks for the info, the TransferData.apk in the link you posted earlier is not workable, with error message "INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES"
In that case, just use a SAFE RUU. They are untouched Releases, with only the Radio and Updated Bootloader Removed.
Try this one:

Or, you can install WildPuzzle. It definitely has that installed. (Just checked its install ZIP)

No accounts and sync in menu, help please

I installed hyperbeamNewEra rom (GB) for my mini pro, and there is no accounts and sync in the menu, and i can't sync my contacts or e-mails automaticaly... How could i solve this problem? It's a great fast rom, but this is such a disturbing problem...
That does seem a bit unusual, unless the ROM is meant to be like that (which I highly doubt). When you flashed the ROM did you clear all relevant data, cache, dalvik etc...?
If not then follow the instructions step by step and try again, otherwise report back.

Stock Gingerbread does have Accounts and Sync option.
Yea it definitely does have the option, I last used stock GB about a month ago. Try clearing the relevant data and reflashing the ROM. If that does not work then try another ROM?

were you on ROW version of ROM
if yes then you have to first flash CN based firmware via flashtool
then follow the above process.
what worked for me is i flashed phone using S135 with CWM chinese recovery -->SP flash tools.
Very important that backup everything before you do anything..
Thanks for the heads up....i have flashed the rom fine and it is amazing .
but again i need ur help as once installed the contacts from my google account is no more available in the sync only people details and app data are only available.
Did i do something wrong.

I had the same problem but didn't manage to solve it, so I moved to a different ROM. If that's solved, then I'll give the ROM another try because it felt really good.
Hey...
This is what i have done ....to get the rom on to the phone....First i flashed this Chinese rom (P780_S135_130917_rooted_twrp_gapps) and booted the phone fully once and then i flashed the miui rom in this thread on to the above rom from Chinese recovery that came with the S135 rom and it flashed perfectly.Below i am giving u the link to the Chinese rom.
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-p780/development/rom-lenovo-p780-pre-rooted-official-t2553725
Hope this helps...
Happy flashing..

So I went ahead and searched for MIUI gapps for android 4.4.2 and found it on miui forums. Flashed it and now i am able to sync my contacts with google. In fact even able to save new contacts to google as well. I have shared these gapps on my google drive here
So anyone who wants to make this ROM a 100% perfect can download it flash it.
Steps are very simple:
Download gapps from the link above and save it on your phone. Internal / External does not matter
Reboot to recovery mode
Install / Flash gapps zip file
Wipe cache and Dalvik
Reboot
Go to settings -> accounts -> all -> google and you will find now you can even sync contacts and calendar with google
Hope this helps anyone who wants to use this ROM along with google sync.
And, most importantly, thank you to the original devs for making this rom.
Is this rom repartitioned or can it be?

thats cool. is google search is working ? and email etc
My corporate email did not work with stock email app. So I used mailwise. Haven't tried google search yet. As, first thing i wanna try to do is try to bring back the 8gb internal partition. Coz after after installing this rom, my 8gb phone is now 4gb. Don't want to burden the phone much before i figure this out.

Android 6 for LG-P712?

Hello, community! I was wondering if there's any Android 6 rom for LG Optimus L7 II (P712). I was told that CyanogenMod supports through CM13 a lot of LG devices but P712. But I decided to give it a shot anyway and I will share my experience with you.
I took the risk yesterday and I installed CM13 on my cel phone. The installation process was perfect (I used ClockworkMod Recovery), I also installed Gapps perfectly. I rebooted my device and it loaded and updated all the apps (it took like 10 minutes). After that, I had to setup my wifi network, google account, etc. Everything was good so far, but then, when the menues loaded my camera and radio fm weren't shown. The rest of the apps were right there and it recognized my wifi and mobile service provider like a charm (I called and texted myself from another phone). But... after a couple of minutes a pop-up started to show up saying "Unfortunately, Android keyboard (AOSP) has stopped" and since there, it was a nightmare haha. I couldn't access to my keyboard at all. I understand it's an issue with CyanogenMod and they are trying to fix it.
But after that situation, I decided to flash my device using "Flash Tools 2014" and Android 4.4. If any of you know about another rom with android 6, please let me know. Thanks in advance!
What gapps was used,and which cm13 build?Seems P712 is all like my P713,and on mine i got no lags(excepting camera app,just needs to install another camera and delete stock one).

Hi DS_katauri, thanks for your reply. About gapps, I tried to install different packages (mini, full, nano, stock), I downloaded them from opengapps. But it seems many people are reporting issues like the one I had. Btw, the rom I used was the "cm-13.0-20160330-UNOFFICIAL-vee7-RC2" (I'm a new user so I can't attach links... I downloaded it from androidfilehost, the user who uploaded it has useful things there). Thanks again, for your reply!!

Yep,Neutrondev made a lot of pretty things for our LG.
About ROM,try this one(latest build from Weritos) ,use version for 713 and gapps provided.IDK will CWM work,if no use Neutrondev's TWRP 3.020.Also,gapps should be installed after ROM but before 1st start.Lags are - built-in camera(use snap hdr and delete stock camera and gallery via root),wifi(sometimes connects only manual),no function on qmemo button(not critical at all)...And a specific feature - no internal card only SDcard I'm using it now(actually writing from it).Only three apps make me angry,katemobile(russian vk.com social network alternative client) - can stuck phone(idk why),viber v5x or v6x(both can FC in unknown reason,v4x all okay),and Opera4android(chinese idiots forget the "clean cache" button).
Oh,and launcher,Nova still remains the best.
Good luck and don't forget to backup your current ROM to SD.
Hi DS_katauri, thanks for your reply and all the info you shared with me. Unfortunately, it didn't work on my smartphone. Yesterday, I installed the rom and gapps by Weritos but the camera didn't work at all, it kept asking me for my sd-card (even after I formatted it). For the same reason, I couldn't download photos, take screenshots or anything. And I couldn't install whatsapp because it wasn't compatible with my device anymore, so I had to give up. Thanks anyway for all your help!!

I told U to try snap camera,then play with settings to allow writing on sd(this stuff makes me mad too)Also,opencamera and first version of CyanogenCamera should work too.And,whatsapp,install it not from market.
Will look on new release of Weritos CM13 soon,probably it will help

About Loading SIM Card in ROMs

Hello Developers, sorry for bothering, I have a question about SIM card...
I am using LG G3 D855 model. In "stock Android 4.4.2 v10n" firmware, I am 1000% sure that I saved contacts to SIM card every time I add them, also viewable in stock Contacts app.
And I flashed Cloudy G3 Android 5.0 custom ROM earlier, they can be loaded properly in stock Contacts app, and viewable like in stock rom. Screenshot in below:
https://postimg.org/image/ka3xlafzj/
However, after I flashed "Fulmics ROM, Zoe ROM, Tekcafe ROM", which are stock based Android 6.0, also "Resurrection Remix, AICP ROM" which are non-stock based Android 7.1, my contacts in SIM can never be loaded... I tap "import" in upper-right corner, my google account option and import from storage option appeared, but I never have a .vcf file. Well I can use stock LG backup function to export them as .vcf file in untouched stock 4.4.2 or Cloudy G3 ROM, but that's not a solution definitely right? Screenshot below: (Tekcafe, Fulmics)
https://postimg.org/image/ys14ta7an/
Plus it has no option to allow me to save contacts to SIM card, in the ROMs mentioned above. I am suprised that even stock based 6,0 ROM doesn;t have the option of save to SIM, only "phone"...
I wonder why those AOSP based ROMs, and Fulmics, Zoe ROM cannot read/load my SIM card contacts? While it can't save to SIM, I think it means it cannot read my SIM.
(P.S. I always flash "RADIO_D855_21C_Step-han" modem before flashing any custom ROM. I even tried RADIO_D855_30B_Step-han modem before flashing Tekcafe and Fulmics ROM, it also cannot load my SIM contacts. I wonder is it a modem problem?)

This is due to Android doing away with that option as newer Sim cards are not set up to store data anymore. It started somewhere around 5.0 of I remember the code properly.

thanks for replying, but "newer Sim cards are not set up to store data anymore", my sim is not that new... it can be used to store data in Cloudy G3 ROM which is Android 5.0 ROM. Android 6.0 + AOSP ROM plus stock based are all not allowed to load SIM contacts... the main problem is that it cannot load my SIM contacts...

YOu have to understand that just because one distro has the option doesnt mean that all will. AOSP doesnt have the needed package anymore to do what you want as I said google removed this function. LG may have added back for now but it wont last. If I were you I would just start syncing with google or use a 3rd party app that has it built in for now.
