So I flashed my P970 with Cyanogenmod 7.2 RC1 (version 2.3.7) and everything is working fine except I cant see my contacts in the contacts app.
So far I have tried:
1. Using apps like SIM Contacts to access my SIM card, they seem to have the same problem as it says i have no contacts.
2. Retoring to my original ROM, verifying that I HAVE contacts in my sim ( they do show up in my original ROM). Then I exported them to my sdcard, flashed CM7 again and imported them to the contacts there. Trouble is: when i import them, they don't have phone numbers (i tap a contact and it shows he has no info).
I did some searching and found nothing specific to fix this in the OB (only thing i found was a Moto Atrix fix).
Did this happen to any of you, guys? Is there any way to fix it so my contacts show up? Sorry for being such a noob
Disregard that, restored once more to original, moved all sim contacts to phone then to sd card then back to CM7 and everything works when importing

So, I really want my contacts back and Samsung Kies does not support the 2.2 UCJI6 ROM captivate, what should I do?
Open to suggestions, I have a couple theories myself...
Can I flash back to the backup I created with clockwork mod before I flashed 2.2 and then sync the contacts from Kies and then to google?
Or is there a program or APP that can take the .SPB Backup file of contacts created by Kies and transfer them to my phone?
Solved.
I figured it out!
Well, I have KIES save the contacts to the VCard format into a folder and then put that folder on the External SD Card.
After that, I went into contacts, menu, import/export, and then imported those Vcards files.
Sad thing is that they are missing their categories but that is way better than not having them at all.
One thing I noticed about this ROm is I cannot select contacts to appear on the list They ALL do..from the SIM, Phone and Google. Even though there is a display options i can select phone only and ALL appear so I deleted SIM and PHone and just use Google Contacts. Otherwise I love the new ROM;
Hi all,
Sorry for my bad english, I'm german.
I've installed the CyanogenMod7 136 Nightly and I can't see/use my contacts on the sim card. How can I fix this?
And when I want to access a wlan network with wpa2 key, I have to click very often on connect.
Hope you can help me

This has been a common problem with CM7 on some HTC devices. The best thing to do is to reload a Sense ROM and then sync your contacts to your Google account. Then when you reload CM 7 and link your phone to your Google account, the contacts will resync with your phone. Another option under a Sense ROM is to export the contacts to your SD card, but I'm not sure if CM 7 has support for importing contacts from the SD card.

Have you synced your contacts with google? If yes then flash gapps as i quoted to you in the other thread and restore them this way. But remember to always export your contacts in sd card.

If you have a nandroid backup from your previous rom you can restore it and export your contacts to sd card and then reflash cm7 and import them again. I don't know any other solution. Maybe someone else does.

If I should do It I will put my sim and sd card in anther phone then export them to sd card by the other phone
but we must find solution for all guys have same error
Then CM7 aren´t able to read the contacts in the Sim-card ?!
Yes it doesn't read sim contacts
-- Is this the normal case to all the cm7 roms???
do you all guys have this problem??
It's normal. Custom roms never succeeded in reading the contacts off my SIM card.
Just backup them into the SDcard and import them in the new rom.
Thanks, for the info, but it´s strange due the sim istn´t realy new technology.
Okay I used Nokia phone to do this all and I hope to find any way as possible as thnx

I followed this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1561816 and it didnt not work. The problem now is that my phone (Incredible S) booted in the previous rom version and it was like everything was deleted!! The problem is that my SD card is still full of the same data that I had before!! so my questions are:
1) Since all my data is there, why does it not show up in my application menu or my gallery (pictures/videos/music etc etc??)
2) where are my contacts stored in INTERNAL memory, so I can just copy paste the contacts file? (note: I have no gmail sync account)
Thanks

When you Wipe Data in recovery mode, that is the same as a system reset and it removes all of your apps and internal data. Hopefully you made a nandroid backup in recovery mode before you stated this process, right? If so, just restore the backp. If not, then you have lost your contacts. Live and learn.
Hello Guys and Devs. Sorry if this will be a noob question for you, but your the only i know who can help me,. FYI, using I9070, i've flash a CustomROM (OmniROM - my first time to flash custom ROM) last night - from Stock JB to OmniROM 4.36 buill 12-19-13. i found it very nice but i have a problem in viewing my contacts in my SIM and also i dont see my SIM MENU on my application. I did a factory reset for this Custom ROM, wipe cache and dalvik but nothing happens. Other says that i need to go back toi Stock JB so i can sync my contacts to google and flash again this CustomROM. Is there other way to view my contacts on sim not doing a downgrade..? Please help me guys and master there..? MERYY XMAS to all and God Bless Us ALL. Thanks in advance.
The best way is to make a backup of your contacts. Sure you can save it in your sim but for smartphones it is better to make a backup file of contacts(contact.vcf file). And for your case, make a backup of current rom to restore later. Then flash back stock and make a backup file of your contacts. Just use the export function in stock to save it on your external sd. Then flash back omni and restore your previously nand backup back.

I am assuming you do not have a backup of your contacts as contacts.vcf file and all your contacts present in sim card. Again you have factory reset OMNI rom, so there is no point taking a nandroid backup of this rom.
First Flast Stock JB using ODIN. then copy all your sim contacts to phone using the menu settings in contacts app in stock rom. Now export all your phone contacts to device SD card as contacts.vcf file. Copy this contacts backup file to your PC.
Now you again flash omni rom. Put contacts.vcf file in device internal memory and not in external sd card. Do import of contacts in contacts app and you will get all your contacts in OMNI rom.
