If you want to export the contacts from an Android smartphone, you can use your gmail account to upload your list on Google's servers there's the option in the stock app, you don't need any third party app.

Google Contacts Filter

Hi
I sync all my contacts from contacts.google.com to my hero phone.
know I have some Contacts that I don't wanna have on my phone. (As example the Google Wave bots I added)
Is there a possibility to block/filter some contacts to not sync to my phone?
greets
in Google contacts, you can create a new group. Then select the contacts you dont want synced and move them from My Contacts group to your new group. Make sure the contacts are no longer My Contacts.
this works for me.
Try the solution in this thread.

But Outlook, Address Book & Windows Contacts does. SO what you need to do is setup HTC Sync to sync your contacts to one of these programs, export the contacts as a CSV from them & then import the CSV into GMail.

[Q] Transferring Facebook contacts to Gmail

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to figure out how to save my Facebook contacts under my Gmail account so that they get synced to my Gmail.
For example, my cousin is a friend of mine on Facebook, although I do not have a contact for him in my Gmail account. Therefore, even when I sync my phone, he does not show up in my Gmail.
If I got to People-->Menu-->Import/Export on my phone, then select Export to SD card, my only options for exporting are Google, SIM, and Phone; hence no Facebook. Therefore, I don't know how to export my facebook contacts and then import them into my Google account.
Anybody know what the best way is to accomplish this? Thanks!
Last I looked, Facebook didn't allow you to export your "friends" info like phone number or email address.. so there is no "easy" way to import into Gmail/google contacts.
There were some tools available, and I found a tutorial that showed how to export from Facebook to yahoo mail contacts, then export from yahoo mail's contacts to a .CSV file which could be imported into Gmail.. Well, I could never get it to work Scratch that.. I just tried again, by going to Yahoo.com, and signing in using the "sign in with Facebook" link... then upgrading to Yahoo Mail... it DID import my 328 friends from FB into Yahoo's contacts, but only their name and primary email address... no phone, secondary email or other info.
Manually making Gmail/google contacts with the info from your FB Friends is the only sure fire way that I've found.

Thanks for the help, but that's what I was afraid you were going to say. It's a shame that you can't simply convert Facebook contacts into Google contacts on your phone so that they get synced to your Google account.

You can try this: Sync your contacts with FB and Google. Go to your contacts app. Make sure the display options are such that both FB & Google contacts are displayed. Merge possible duplicates. Once all of this is done. From the contacts menu, export the contacts to SD card.
Now you've the contacts backup file which contains numbers, emails plus the the display pictures. After flashing new ROM, just import from this file.

Try synchronizing your Google account. Export all contacts to Google account, so all will be sync instantly. Try installing truecaller, it will merge contacts with photos
