Dears,
I've updated to ICS 4.0.3 LP6.
Before, I did a full backup with CWM and applications + data backup with Titanuim Backup.
I'm now trying to restore calendar's event.
They were on local calendar, not Google's.
Well, restoring calendar app+data with Titanium, events are not restored.
I imagine they're elsewhere, so, does anybody know how can I restore them from CWM backup?
Thank you so much!
I would like to know this too.
Mate, I found it:
/data/data/com.android.providers.calendar/databases/
I restored all files in this folder and I got back my events!
Nice find. Hopefully this helps a few people who don't sync their calendars with Google out
Edit to add - Just had a look at the DB, everything is in there. Will definitely be making a copy of this folder whenever I do a backup. Just in case something happens to my synced Google calendar

Also because if you saved events in local calendar, no way to sync them to Google.
The only way was Kies, but on LP2 it doesn't work, no idea on this LP6...

please can you explain what is DB and where to find it ???
I recently upgraded to Jelly Beans and it was too late when I realized that my calendar files that I backed-up thru TB (Titanium Backup) can no longer be restored on the new S Planner. After trying to figure out how I can retrieve all my events back, I came across a file named calendar.db that I found inside of one of the compressed filed made by TB. I tried opening the file and found out cryptic data. I think it was generated by some sort of a DBMS because of several SQL commands that I found. Scrolling down, I found out my calendar entries in a readable format. Too bad, I can't figure out the dates.
Mobile Backup
I've been using the free app Mobile Backup from the play store, but the next time I burn a new ROM (hopefully real soon now once wantowan2 releases his Beanstalk Jelly Bean 4.3 for the Skyrocket...), I'm going to try backing up the folder referenced, then restore it after the burn. Thanks!

Hi allmighty xda people.
Last night i went from a rooted stock rom to cyanogenmod7. I backed up my data with titanium pro. Also i backed up my phone with kies.
Now i am running CM but i cant restore my contacts from titanium pro. The backup itself has a few csv files which i cant use with gmail to backup because the way samsung has the numbers and names stored is a bit complicated. Please help me get my contacts back!!!
edit:
Here's some more info:
- the CSV files have numbers such as ID and all the phone numbers are on 1 CSV and they are the wrong way around (for example 040987654321 is 123456789040) and the particular CSV does not have names on it. Names are on another CSV.

Dont you just backup your contacts to google? Forget the Kies backup of contacts and just use Google if you can, it's way easier to restore. Sorry I can't help more with your current problem though.

The reason i hadn't synced Gmail contacts is that i used to use my Gmail for 5 years in my previous job on the gaming industry. I had 6 different addresses forwarded to Gmail, including helpdesk, so there are 25 000 contacts in my Gmail account and i do not want them on my phone.
did you end up getting it to work? having a similar issue
Hey there, what exactly happens? Can you even see the "[CONTACTS/CALLS]contacts Storage" in Titanium? Perhaps the "incompatibility" can be caused by having different kernels in stock/CM? The contacts are stored in the "...contacts storage -kernel version-", so perhaps try flashing your original baseband's kernel, restore the files and then flash CM7 kernel back? (or not, I strongly recommend SiyahKernel
hello,
i've upgraded my s3 from stock rom 4.0.4 to Cyanogenmod 10 4.1.2.
now some contacts got lost, i tried importing them from my nandroid backup over titanium backup pro.
After importing my contacts application crashes though so i had to delete all contact data.
is there any program to open contacts2.db which displays the contacts in a nice, readable way?
sorry if this is in the wrong section
Hi,
I am having a similar problem. For some reason not all my contacts were synced up, and I want to recover them.
Were you able to resolve this, if so, how?
Thanks in advance for any info you can provide.

Search "sqlite" in play store and download one of those sqlite database managers.
If you're using Google contacts, then remove yourself from Google on your phone in settings. That will clear everything.
Then go to google contacts on the web and check if any contacts are missing. If not, just add Google I'd again and let it resync.
If you're not sure or if contacts are missing. Then Google has nifty little feature of reverting contacts to a specific date. Kinda like windows restore. That should get you back on track, then after restore, add the google account to sync and you're set.

Hello,
As you know, after each ROM flash, if you have big pictures for your contacts, they will become very small.
Does anyone knows a backup software (or method of backup) for contacts that after ROM flash to restore the contacts pictures as they were before flashing?
Thank you.

I think google, now supports syncing hi-res contact pictures with your google contacts (pc)
I didn't try. But, it should be a method of doing it also locally. I tried by copying the contacts folder from /data/data and put it into the new ROM but is not working. Should be another files that are involved in this process.
You could also use MyBackup Root, excellent for a task like this

I tried. It doesn't want to backup my contacts. It gives a lot of errors when I want to backup contacts.
I think that I found the solution: Titanium Backup Root.

Try this one: clear contacts data
Sync contacts to Google in future....so much easier imho
Do not back up or restore any system data with TIBU. This has always been known. Use Google to back them up.

You maybe able to export them to an XML and then save it as a text doc to re-add them manually

You can actually use .xml method in titanium, I always use that for call log, messages and WiFi settings, very reliable on those, wether that option exists for contacts I'm not sure

That is not awailable for contacts. I managed to get my numbers to an excel file, but cant find the owner names of them.
One other possible suggestion is nandroid back or flash back to your old Rom, try and restore them, then Google synch them

What do you mean got stuck? Did it restore Ok or has your nandroid failed? If it restored but doesn't boot try formatting system and data then restoring your backup. Failing that reflash a stock version of your old rom then restore your data, sync with Google then reflash new rom and let Google restore contacts.

I am trying to extract my contacts from a nandroid backup. But I am getting stuck on one small step. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I am unable to install this nandroid to my phone. All I need out of it is the contacts.
-Download Nandroid Manager
-Look in \data\com.android.providers.Contacts\databases in the extracted folders
-Copy all files out of this folder
-Give the following permission all files.
Premission Needed in Lollipop 5.1:
rw-rw- --
u0_a3
u0_a3
The only issue I am having is my contacts isn't updating correctly. It doesn't seem to take this change. Is this the wrong location or is it the wrong permission?
Current driver: Ascend Mate 2 Version: Lollipop 5.1 Software: ES File Browser
Other is there another method altogether? Please advise me. Thanks!

Right now, I am trying to replace the database in Lollipop from Jelly Bean's nandroid backup. I have lost some of my contacts and I want to get them back. If this won't work, is there another option?
I have my contacts synced with Google Mail\Contacts. I never lose my Contacts since they return when I log into my Google account.

You can import and export with HiSuite if you backed them up that way. HTH

Do you know if it uses the internal SD card or do I need an account for it? [I assume I would need one.]
You could go back to 4.3, then restore using your 4.3 backup. Open up your contacts app and in it's settings will be an option to export your contacts whether gmail account or phone storage. It will be made into a .vcf file. Go back to lollipop and open the contacts app. In the settings will be an option to import that .vcf file. Voila.
---------- Post added at 02:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:56 PM ----------
You technically can modify the .vcf file while on Lollipop and manually include all information, but would that tedious process be worth it lol?
