No, contacts, calender and events are stored online by google, when you load a new rom it sync's with the web and reloads the info.
Yes when you switch it deletes everything (if you are doing it write by clearing data) taking data from one build to another can have bad effects. Except if they are google

Is this possible? Like I want the Birthday to be sync with the rest of the info. Doesn't seem to have a slot in the default contacts app. On Cyanogenmod 4.2.3.1.
In my experience with the G1 (have had it since initial release) there has never been an option to add the birth date.
I've only seen that in the Hero contact app. you can always use a Hero rom for the G1, but even still, that doesn't seem to sync the Birthdates with google. I
've installed plenty of Hero roms over and over trying to look for a halfway decent one, and I've always had to manually enter the birthdates.
Until I get a mass confirmation of a Hero rom working great, I'm going to stick with CM.

A way round it is to add birthdays to your gmail contacts then add 'contacts birthdays and events calendar' to your google calendar, then they will all appear in your calendar on your G1.
I hope they fix this.
I can't accept that Google can't..
It is essential info.

OK.. so i come across a second hero that i want to keep stock... I was going thru it and adding things when i tried to sync facebook i noticed the contacts did not sync... the updates work and what not.. and my contact card was updated.. but contacts appear in contact list.. Any help would be appreciated..
EDIT..before i get flamed i have searched XDA. havent really found a solid answer or anything that worked
If I remember the stock people app correctly you'll need to click link inside of any contact that you want to link to facebook.
I know i can do it that way...but at one point in time it would import my contacts from facebook to my contacts on the phone... i would have their emails, phone numbers, etc.. just by syncing facebook... i have heard s few people say this will not work with 2.1 bc something is wrong with facebook and the phone communicating... still trying to figure this out
thats the only way I know how to do it,on cupcake it was automatic as long as you set up the contact to sync when you put it in your contact list originally. I think they took a step backwards in that aspect when the did the update.
almost makes me want to downgrade..lol...i really miss that feature...
The Facebook contact sync should work just fine. They didn't remove that feature in 2.1.
Try deleting the cache and data in your Contacts, People, and Facebook apps. Go into Settings-->Applications-->Manage applications and then scroll down and find Contacts Storage. Open it and Delete cache and data. Then do the same in People and any Facebook ones too.
!!!Warning -- This will delete all the contacts from your phone, so make sure they are all linked to Google before you do this!!!
Afterward, it will take a few minutes for all the contacts to be re-synced/re-added back to your phone, but this may fix the issues you're having and get your Facebook ones in there now.
My Hero has been rooted since August, for the first couple of months after I rooted it I was flashing a new ROM everyday, just to find one I really liked.
Well for the last few months I've been using ASOP 9.7 and this theme, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833504 I've tried to flash newer versions of ASOP a few times but none of them worked for me without a ton of FC's so I finally just gave up and have been happy with the theme and 9.7 but now I want to try something new, namely one of these, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731659
My question is, I want to be able to sync all my contact with my Google account and my Gmail but I DO NOT want all my apps restored, I'd like to start over fresh in the apps department. It seems like with every 2.2 ROM I've tried it automatically restores my apps but I don't want it to, how can I keep this from happening?
Your Gmail and google contacts (not phone contacts) are always synced online. Your other email (non-gmail) is not synced, unless you are using IMAP. So, once you change the ROM and login into your google account, everything's (gmail/google contacts) restored.

I'm not worried about GMail and Contacts, those restore and I want them too, I just want to know if there is a way to keep all the apps from restoring.
Go to Settings, Privacy, uncheck Back up my data.
Another option. After you flash a new rom, and you are going thru setup, on the screen where you initially sign in to google, hit menu, disable restore.

So, I installed Cog 3.04, and I can't get my contacts to sync correctly. Looking at the Cog thread (which I can't post in because I'm <10 posts) it appears that there is something with LauncherPro that is keeping contacts from syncing correctly. It seems to also be blocking my calanders from syncing as well.
Additionally, the "join" function doesn't work at all. I use my cappy to maintain my contacts from 3 email accounts, facebook, twitter, and skype, and I had my list consolidated down to just 1 entry for each person with all of their info by using "join." All that stuff went away with the flash (I have been saving to google. Going to change that to save to the phone and backup to google), and now join doesn't work at all.
Anyone have any idea? I did add a different launcher to see if I could get around the LauncerPro issues, and I'm syncing now.
3.04 looks al ittle too buggy for me. They will improve it and make it stable. But for now, I installed Cog 2.3b6. It is more stable and I needed a rom that has bluetooth working correctly.

your launcher has nothing to do with how your contacts sync. you might be referring to some launcher widgets?
I assumed it had to do with the widgets too when I was reading the thread, but I don't use any of the LauncherPro specific widgets. Additionally, I installed the gingerbread launcher, disabled LP, and *bam* all my contacts showed up. It could be a coincidence with it taking 3 hours to sync, but that sounds wierd. I then switched back to LP, and they stayed, so that's all good now.
The join function is still borked, though it does look like all my contacts auto-joined together for the most part, so maybe it's just an new version of it and I just can't figure out how to make it work manually.

I have this problem on ICS...it's not rom related...cause i had it on Blue Lightning 1.1.0 and also on SLim ICS 3.1...the problem is that after some time (also after reboot) my contacts in people apps dissapear...it shows no contact...but when i open phone app contacts are dispayed there...i thought taht problem was because i had inverted contacts app...but now i have normal and again :/
Can anyone help me with this problem?
Have you cleared data from people app and contacts and everything contact related? Also download TB and do it from there. I had problems with my keyboard and somehow deleting from manage apps didn't work but deleting from TB solved it. Somehow its more through.
Have you factory reset from recovery and wiped cache, dalvik, system, etc..
Then flashed a rom fresh?
Of course i've done full wipe...and i tried clearing data of contacts but i don't try it through TB...i'll try and it now thanks but it was on two roms...my friend also have this problem now... :/ we don't know why...
after 2 reboots same again...no contact in people app...but through phone they are there... :/
I am in serious trouble w/ contact app too.
I am in ICS 4.0.4 Custom Rom(s). My Sync is always OFF..
Inverted or normal one make my contact members repeat to many times even 10 x the same member..
I am Cleaning data and reimporting them from Card but it has been doing the same behavior.
Upon a suggestion, I installed GoContacts EX and used its "merge" option but I observed this app erases fully the contact members itself. This apps also needs reimporting continuously.
I am sick and tired of this trouble..
Someone says SWYPE causes this problem, but I selected AndroidKeybord, still the same problem..
ANY SOLUTION ??

I can only think of two more things...
1. If both of you have it, it must be an app or something both of you are doing..
2. Another stupid thing that is probably tried... Go to the people app press menu, and look at contact to display..

I doubt swype is the problem i have used it before and nothing like this has happened. If it could be the problem you will probably have to disable the app from manage apps or un-install it for it to solve the problem
Where are all of you getting your contacts from, have you not stored it on google and then synced them. Or are they multiple sources?
Look at the pictures bellow...you can see that in people app there are no contacts but in phone app they are there! i tried to display all contacts and so on but no luck...
1. What happens when you click on "set up my profile"
2. Also when you go to "contacts to display" does the account you want show up?
3. Where are your contacts stored?? Google? Email? Sim card? sd card? Where?
4. When you try import it appears and then disappears later on....correct?
5. Have you tried wiping from Titanium backup?
Please answer all Q's
1. i can create my profile with my name i think...or what it is
2. yes they are both my gmail accounts
3. now on sd card...i tried it also with gmail and my friend who has this issue from sim...same problem
4. when i import them they are shown, but after some time they are not there, also after reboot they just dissapear
5. yes i tried it...didn't help
Full wipe again, fix permissions from recovery after setting up accounts manually (your not using back ups are you? If you are don't). Do this before setting up apps (let google download it automatically and finish, along with your contacts)
Upon reboot if the contacts aren't there again, delete one account and set-up again immediately. Let all contacts download turn off sync, go to recovery fix permissions, delete cache, and dalvik, reboot. Hopefully they should be there
If not then i think im out of ideas... Unless you want to see what happens when you go back to stock.... Its worth a try if its that annoying (I don't use the people app, only the phone app )
Very Good luck to you!!
My only Choice
As the most of ICS 4.0.4 custom Roms are connecting itself Wi-fi or Data and consequently as soon as connected it is syncing w/ google contacts even if it is set as 'sync off'.
Finally I could not find any other way but I rearranged my Google/ Gmail Contacts as the way I want in my phone thru the laptop.
It syncs but no more repetitions and erase.
