[Q] Contacts wiped after flashing, help?

Hi guys,
After flashing Slick2x-G, all my contacts are gone. I did a full wipe since it's neccesary, but after turning my phone back on all my phone numbers are gone.
I remember that when I saved a new contact I always chose LG PC Suite in the options. Is there any way to get them from somewhere?
Thanks!

If you backed them up before a wipe then yes.Else no

I did a clockworkmod backup and i did a backup with titanium backup, but no idea IF they saved it and if they did, where the files are.
Could you explain me?

The ClockworkMod backup wont help, but look for Contacts in Titanium.

I tried, but in the new rom I'm using right now is no titanium, where can I find the backups?

Should be in /sdcard/TitaniumBackup

You can do another thing.Full Wipe the phone restore the clockworkmod backup.Reboot phone.Open contacts.Press the options "hard key".Select more.then select Import/export.Export to sdcard.Wait for it to finish.It will save all your contacts in the sdcard.Then boot to recovery.Full wipe again.Flash the desired Rom.After that reboot phone.Open contacts...Select import/export from options...Import from sdcard.Select the file.Wait for it to finish.You will have all the contacts.A little long process but the best.

Thanks for the explaination, I'm going to try it tomorrow or so. I guess it will work! Thanks!

If you did a Titanium backup you just have to re-install Titanium and restore your contact app + data. it's what I do for Go contact. If your contacts were set as google contact they should be back automatically with sync.
Edit: doesn't work I looked at my contacts and only the google one are restored. You must use the built-in save feature in your contact app our use a specific backup app.

Yes, at some point I would recommend changing all your contacts from LG to Gmail contacts. Not only is it far easier to sync, it helps prevent issues that arise from apps that also use your contacts list, and it allows you to easily sync contacts onto any future Android phone.

I changed back to my backup since i couldn't get my contacts back. Is there any way to make Google contacts of all or do i have to do it one by one? Thanks!

very easily yes
in the contacts application, select menu, select export to SD, then select all contacts and these will be saved as a vcf file on the SD memory
then go back to the contacts application again, select menu, then select import from SD - it will ask where you want to import to, select import to Google contacts and it will be imported and synched to your google account.
After that you can delete all the phone contacts and just leave the google contacts - easiest way to do this is turn off view of google contacts first, it will then only show phone contacts, select all and delete them and finally turn on google contacts view again.

When i select export tot sd, it only exports like 21 of my contacts, which are my whatsapp contacts. Can't find any options to change that?

[Q] Can't enter google account on nightly 166

I was running nightly 150 and updated to nightly 166 using Rom Manager. I chose the option to wipe Dalvik cache. When I rebooted, and tried to launch the market, it would give a message saying I had to add an account. I would go to the accounts menu in settings and there would only be options for corporate and YAHOO accounts, but no option to add a Google account!! I don't recall there being a Yahoo option previously, and there was always a Google option. You need a Google account for the market, don't you? Anybody else experience this and any ideas? Also, when I tried to open g-mail, it just immediately forced closed.

Go back into rom manager and reflash gapps. This should restore the access to google apps.

Like moshe said you need to reflash gapps.

You should sign in to your google account to make it appear on your app drawer.. Signing in on gmail will also do the trick.. You can also go to Settings > Accounts and Sync > Add account > Click on Google and sign in..

Upgrade to JB: Exchange mail settings crash

Hi all,
After upgrading my phone to JB I am experiencing only one issue, for the rest it is running fine! The e-mail app worked for a day or so, then it needed to apply the security settings, so it said. This failed with a crash of the settings app. Removed the exchange account, and added it back same problem. This is what happens:
1. Set up account details.
2. Device prompts that security settings should be applied, I click OK.
3. Settings screen appears in black and then crashes: "Settings has stopped".
4. The e-mail app then repeatedly asks for application of the security settings.
- The e-mail app does not show up as a device administrator.
- Tried clearing the cache of the e-mail app and exchange service.
- Tried setting the account from the e-mail app and settings app.
- Did NOT try a hard reset, I would like to keep this as a final solution.
Couple of questions:
- Does somebody else have this problem?
- Is there a way to manually make a program a device administrator?

Thanks, but the device should be rooted then. Is it possible to root the phone with the new firmware already?

Rooted it. (Thnx rajman) Sadly the app reset of both Email and Exchange Services did not fix the problem. Any onther ideas?

I've been running Moxier over the past few days without any issues. I think that the device administrator database is corrupted and that this causes the settings crash. Is there any way to reset this database/file?

I figured it out. The things I do not to have to reinstall...
I tried installing the stock JB mail and Exchange service with ES Explorer. No go, but in stead of services this time email stops.
Removed the original mail and Exchange app and service. No go, same as above.
Removed stock JB stuff and restored the original system APK's, reboot and whaddayaknow: it asks if it should make the app Device admin. Works!
I left Moxier on the phone just in case...

Cant change default browser

Firstly I am on Dev Rom 6.12.29 (I am trying to unlock and I keep getting the "can't verify device error").
For whatever reason weblinks automatically open in the stock browser.
When I try to clear defaults in the app section the option is greyed out as if the stock browser is not even set as default.
Any ideas how to change this?

This may work,more of a work-around than a fix (if one isn't available):
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aboutmycode.betteropenwith&hl=en
When initially prompted to choose a default,select "Better Open With".
Afterwards,you should get the typical options of apps available & not locked into a default app.

Do you have another browser installed? Sorry had to ask if the power is plugged in.
Then,
Settings -> Installed Apps -> Defaults -> Browser -> ?? Choose that browser?
does any other browsers show up? If not, I suggest uninstalling Chrome, if that's your app, then going into defaults click on the system browser, then reinstall chrome, and then go back and choose that Chrome in that settings.
See if that works.
