Hey guys, my question is a little different from the other forums that ask for the actual contacts backup/recovery.
I was trying to erase all of the contacts stored on my phone, and thought that I could do it in one click by opening Titanium backup and removing the contact storage directory. Of course, now contacts won't work at all and I need a way to get it back on there. I have searched for an apk but haven't been able to find one for the storage specifically. Any help would be great.
I have a Tmobile LG Optimus One flashed with CyanogenMod 7.1.0 w/ android version 2.3.7
Nevermind
Nevermind, I decided to factory reset it and re-flash my rom and gapps installer. That seemed to fix it

Hi all. Noob here. First I want to thank all of you that are writing these amazing roms, apps and roots. Top notch.
I am running BAMF Remix 1.5 and love it! I have not had any issues with it at all. My question is this. I need to load Verizon Backup Assistant in order to recover all of my contacts that I backed up from my BB Storm. With this ROM the verizon backup assistant is no longer available. I would prefer to not have to go back to stock in order to recover these contacts, so is there any way to get the backup assistant without having to grenade BAMF, go to stock, recover contacts, then go back to BAMF?
Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to provide me.

Verizon Backup
i had the saem thing for a little bit... all you have to doo is go back to the page that you down loaded the rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1009876 and then scroll to the bottom of the first link and you will see all the zip files you need to install. along with the verizon backup and some other good ones. you will need to eather use Rom manager and install from your sd card or use appinstaller and still install from your sd card.... hope this helps

I saw all of those but assumed (shame on me) that since I was using the "REMIX" that it did not apply. So I guess it is safe to assume that it can be used on the "Remix" version.
I am surprised that a Verizon store transferred the contacts to a rooted phone?
At any rate, thank you both for your prompt responses.
Downloaded and installed backup_asst via recovery manager from the Das BAMF 1.5 thread here
When I look for it in apps it is not listed. It does say that it was successfully installed via recovery manager.
Any help on this one?
Never mind, figured it out... did not show up in apps, so I went into the "Setup" app and lo and behold there it was. Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction!
You might want to consider backing up your contacts to your Google account since most roms do not support backup assistant because it is... Crap. Then when you flash new roms and sign in your contacts will already be there and you don't have to worry about the extra crapware.
True. I just needed the backup assistant long enough to get my contacts back on my phone. Now that they are there, I have already backed up to google and uninstalled backup assistant.

Not enough posts under my belt... but thanks!
Another way to do it (This is the way I did it):
Download Google Sync for Blackberry to back up your contacts to your Google Account, and when you sync your TBolt, all of your Google contacts should be there. That's the way I got my contacts from my Curve to my Moto Droid...
To aid customer's who were converting from Features Phones (using Backup Assistant) to Android phones, VZW used to have a walk through when BA wasn't available on Android Phones.. It showed how to use VZW's backup assistant web site on your PC, export contacts to .CSV, and import the .CSV into your gmail account.
While that walk through has been changed with BA now being available for most/all android phones, the BA web site still allows you to export to CSV, and Gmail still allows you to import it.
I was attempting to delete the stock calendar because I prefer Gemini Calendar. I made a back-up in TB but then when I went to click it and uninstall it TB must not have been fully loaded because it moved up one and I uninstalled calendar STORAGE. Now Gemini won't open at all, it acts like it will but then immediately closes. I've tried many different calendars since and they all do the same thing. I did try re-flashing gapps and also I followed the thread here with the stock calendar.apx but neither worked. I really don't want to have to re-flash my ROM or lose any data if possible. Please help
On CM 7.1.0.1

I don't think calendar is stored in GAPPS, well anyways, I suggest you go download CM7 rom again, extract the zip and look into system/app and go find calendar storage.
Replace in same place with the same app.
Thanks, I will definitely try that.

Did it work?
I uninstalled it and now can't access , sync or create local calendars.. Looking for the correct version for ICS4.0.4 to reinstall and hoping that will relink everything but am doubtful it will be that easy.
I downloaded the files provided and put them into /system/apps then I clicked on the apk hoping it would magically fix all my problems but it just said install failed so how do I get the sucka reinstalled?

4.0.4 calendar & sync apks. http://db.tt/KkMpf14m unzip and push to system/app and set permissions like the other apks in system. Good Luck
Edit, don't forget to boot into recovery and wipe cache and in "advanced" , wipe dalvik afterwards...If shiz dont work then clear data in both those apps and reboot
No such luck I'm afraid.

Hi,
I've been stupid and in order to clean up both the in-built and external memory (I've taken efs backups and the like) formatted both the and then flashed the appropriate rom and kernel. However, I've now missing GTalk and I can't seem to find it in the Play Store or an obvious/easy way to get it back. Suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: Resolved, opened up a Sammy based rom and was able to find the Talk apk there.
u need the gtalk were its og placed in sgs2 right ,flash the stock rom ,or the other way is revert one step back of stock rom and update via kies....hope u got it..
Hello, I have AT&T HTC One rooted bulletproof kernel lastest baseband I think it's .24 and the thether hack and TWRP.
I flash CM 10.1 then I want to go back to my recently done backup and it wasn't there, none of my backups but the data ware on my phone. I don't know why TWRP don't see it. I downloaded some apps to try to restore until it suddenly appeared. I restore it but some applications don't have the data. Just like if it was recently downloaded from the playstore. Even the backups from titanium. It's there but I can't do anything with it because titanium don't see it. Can any one tell me what's happening???
I look on the files on my sd card I notice that for some reason maybe I did something wrong but all my new data its being save on a file call sdcard0 and it's not on my main directory. I have to go to data/sdcard0 and there are my new information. I don't understand why that is happening it should be sdcard no sdcard0.

Hi, I've searched this forum well, but didn't find anything to answer my problem.
For a few months, I was hapilly using stable release of 10.1.3 for my i9100G without any serious troubles. Today I decided to try 10.2 Nightly (10-27-2013), so I backed up my ROM with CWM, in phone's settings selected the freshly downloaded upgrade and new rom got installed. However, I decided to go back to stable 10.1.3, therefore I wanted to restore my back up, which went alright, except most of apps previously installed are not present in my phone anymore - google play doesn't know about them, they are not listed in Apps in Settings. When I connect my phone with PC via Airdroid, it shows the complete list of apps including the disappeard ones, but thats all it can do. Please, advice me, how can I restore my apps with their data back. Thanks, David:cyclops:

did you do a full data wipe before downgrading?
Try a full wipe(data, cache, dalvik) then downgrade
U will get all your apps working
Its basically due to the conflicts between the entirely different versions of the roms
Gud luck mate

Thanks for your tip. I wiped everything, i think i have wiped even the wiper, but still the backup doesn't restore my apps, so it didn't work
