Go to contacts, export and export to storage and will become a vCard named "0001.vcf" Next time you put a rom on your phone you just click import from storage and should be good. Or upload that VCF to gmail so it's saved to your computer if something goes wrong.

MyBackup Pro and Titanium can both do that.
I use "Sms backup and restore "
Search "ritesh sahu" on the market
You can enable which conversations you want in the settings otherwise all of the conversations will be backed up

Download Go SMS pro. It's a good texting app and it has options to back up and restore individual conversations/threads or in bulk.
Chomp SMS allows you to email text convos...but mybackup root if pretty awesome, too.

You can move from stable to nightlys without a wipe in theory, make sure to take backups.

Nandroid for the whole system, titanium backup for system/user apps and data.
Sms backup+ for sms and call log (syncs to gmail account, other programs may sync locally).
You can export contacts to sdcard (I think).

yes, kies will help you if u r on stock ROM. But i guess, if you are using custom rom, kies dont recognise ur phone. Is it Right ?? then what to do???
if you have permanent internet connection, I suggest to sync it with your google contacts: contacts.google.com
Try super backup app from play.. It can backup smses, call logs and contacts

sms back and restore in google play

In order to store your SMS on the cloud (on your gmail account precisely), you can use "SMS Backup +"
This is a free app, you just have to log into your gmail account and your SMS will be automatically saved on gmail. You can read them from any device connected to internet and you can also restore them on any android phone.
If you prefer to save them on your microSD card or in your internal storage, Titanium Backup Pro can do that easily.
Hope I helped
Also, if your phone is rooted you can use titanium backup which can backup sms to an xml file and can later be restored to any sms application.

Another alternative you can use is Kies on your pc making an backup of your phone

If your contacts were secured via your Google account, you can easily restore by syncing your device with the account
