I rooted my GB 2.3.5 X2 then backed up my apps and data using Titanium Backup. Downloaded Eclipse 2.3 and BSR. Everything seemed smooth flashing Eclipse and I'm happy with the new ROM. After flashing I restored my data and apps with Titanium. It appears I have all my data, contacts, email, sms, etc. except my calendar events are not in the new calendar that comes with Eclipse. Calender Storage 2.3.5 was backed up along with the other calender apps but restoring them seems to have no effect. Any ideas how I can get my events back on the calendar? Thanks!
i don't use calendar much, but the events i add get saved to my google calendar
have you added a google account, and synced checked calendar?

Yes I do have a goggle account and thought I was synced with it. I checked the calendar with a pc and no events there either. I'm wondering whether the stock calendar that comes with the X2 from Verizon actually sync's with Verizon Media Manager by default?
did you make a nandroid backup in system recovery, before flashing rom?

No I used Titanium Backup but before I used the Titanium app I took out a lot of Verizon apps with the app "No Bloat" using the delete and backup tool. All of the those verizon apps appear to have been lost with the the flash to Eclipse.

Just use TitaniumBackup to remove any apps you don't like.

Call me an idiot...but I thought Google sync was obsolete with android, considering most of the devices are powered by Google! ....am I wrong....be nice !!
I will reiterate - Titanium Backup works great for restoring, in my case programs with data like Timeriffic.

You are wrong. Google sync is an android feature. It's one of the benefits to logging in with your gmail account when you setup a new ROM.

I've never been able to get Titanium Backup to backup and restore contacts...
You could just export your contacts to your SD card then import them back after you flash a new ROM. While in people, hit menu then export.
What is the best way to backup contacts now that we can't use the backup /restore option in android 2.3

this had to go to Q&A, but anyways, just install them on sim card and they will sync everytime you reflash the phone or do something else or use titanium backup or any other 3rd party application.
I have all my contacts stored in my gmailaccount and let it sync after I put a new ROM on my phone.
Before I went to the trouble of storing all my contacts in my gmailaccount, I used the backup to .vcf function in Go Contacts app.

I do same as ldeleeuw, just synch it with your google account

Awesome guys.
How do I do that?!
And will my calendar be synced as well?
Sent from my X10a using XDA App
Yes it will!!
I will recommnend Google sync.. it also helped me many times when I am running out of battery.
Also editing is also powerful in Gmail acct.
Another tool I found was, fjsoft's mobile phone explorer. It will give you many options to customize backup. Google fjsoft and dload. "Mobile Phone Explorer" is free.

On my PC, I imported a vcf-file into my gmailaccount, which I created with GO Contacts. It's is a single vcf-file with mutiple contacts, so importing it is very easy.
To sync it with your phone, you'll need to setup syncronisation somewhere in settings
What about going into settings and pressing the sync button to sync with my gmail account ?
Sent from my X10a using XDA App
sounds like you are already synced, have to checked your contacts page in gmail on a pc?
also you can got Phone book - menu - more - Backup contacts - memory card
I would go for MyBackup as i dont sync often.

I'm using MyPhoneExplorer and I think it is the best back up way. You can sync,archive,export, import your contacts, messages and calendar.
It can save your contacts with pictures. See this page:

Here you go, Google+ 2.0.0 apk.
Make sure you uninstall the old G+ first, and Chord is the new messenger Huddle. Make sure you "allow" the app in your notification bar or you wont be able to "connect to server".

Hi. I'm coming from a stock samsung 2.3.3 rom, I'm all ready to root it and give it a new firmware but will I lose my contacts which are integrated with facebook and all? I backed up a copy of it onto the sd card, but I'm not sure if it keeps the integration.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
provided you have synced with your gmail account, you should keep your contacts. you just log in once you boot up after flashing and your contacts will be refreshed
How do I know if I synced it to my gmail account? Does the backup to sd card function keep the integration with facebook?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
you could also move them to sd card and if they,re on sd csrd, u won't lose them and you would, they still would be in your nandroid backup and you could take them from there with appextracktor

Before you do anything BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP. Use titanium to backup your apps. To find out if your gmail is syncing your contacts go to settings - accounts and sync. You should clearly see if your gmail is syncing your contacts. When you flash a new rom it will ask you to enter your gmail. This will then sync all your contacts to your phone. When you get clockworkmod installed backup a full image of your phone so you wont lose anything. Goodluck!
Thanks for the help guys! Okay gonna see if its syncing but I'm more worried about the facebook integration because I don't want to repeat the tedious process of merging my contacts painstakingly again!
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Ohh another question, erm I can see that my google account is under the list of things syncing, is there somewhere I can check the contacts whether they are saved correctly or not? Thanks guys!

I'm not sure what the issue is, but I'm running the Rejuvenated ROM. Fresh install. Restored all apps from Titanium Backup (all backups were from previous Rejuvenated setup - same version and everything). Whenever I open up Talk, it shows all accounts signed out. And when I click on an account, it takes me to the buddy list, but only shows my email address and doesn't sign in. No errors. All other apps work that are tied to my gmail account - the market, email, etc.
I even tried doing a restore from Titanium to a clean install, while skipping everything that has to do with accounts. Still nothing.
Any ideas on how to get this working properly?

I apparently can't post in the development forum, but you mentioned that you were having issues with google talk and gmail. I have had the same issue when flashing roms and then using titanium backup to restore my stuff. What fixed it for me is deleting the google account off the phone and deleting the data out of the google services framework app. Let me know if that works for you.

Had this issue in the past. I stay away from backing up the google apps since during install they ask for permissions.
Agreed, never backup gapps because that will come with issues if its own.
Try going in to recovery and fixing permissions, see if that helps.
