Root How should I install CM7?

I restored my contacts from google, but nearly all of my phone numbers were saved through the VZW backup assistant. This is no longer on the phone and not in the market.

I think I might be screwed in CM7 for now, but I could come back to it later. I need to go back to 2.3.340 and get my contacts synced with google instead of vzw and that way when I transition to CM7 again. I also used titanium back-up a while ago and was able to restore my apps/data to the phone. Unfortunately my big issue is with contacts, so I need to get that sorted before I do anything else.


If anyone has any other ideas regarding the contact problem, let me know!

You can save your numbers in a .csv file from vzw backup and import the file through your Google email or you could do it through the phone too I believe.
 
you can also back your contacts up to your sdcard
and then restore them from same location
Select Contacts
hit menu button
Select Import/Export
and export to SD Card
hit ok, and then restore them once you are back on your new rom

Sounds like the best option. I'll give it a shot tonight and probably install a theme too.
 
i think google contact servers are screwy right now, i made the mistake of backing up my contacts, then tried to import them again, and when i did it doubled all names lol ugh
so i deleted the data in the contacts app, and that was a bad move, now contacts are syncing, says there is a google server error :( well i will figure it out soon i guess
 
Backed up contacts like previously posted. Had to go to 2.2.34 to do it....which meant another wipe and SBF...:(

BUT...I feel very much like android is finally being unleashed on the DX...and I LOVE IT!

Decided instead of going back to GB and deodexing/theming...I would do something different with the 2init.

Grabbed MIUI and a sick theme from one of the other threads and man is it cool. No iphony crap for me, I'm gonna customize this puppy and see how it is in terms of battery life. Camera fix applied but only video works...
