Root Restore issues: partial restore using Rom Manager

Okay so here is the issue. When I got my phone I decided not to back up my contact information or apps to the cloud, but that was a long time ago and I had forgotten.

I created a backup using ROM Manager, flashed a new ROM, then realized I wouldn't have any of my contact information. Now I am trying to restore using the backup I created.

When I use ClockworkMod Recovery Advanced restore I can get root, system, cache, and SD-ext to restore successfully. Restore data hangs on com.rovio.angrybirds. Using basic restore results in the same freeze. I have to pull the battery and boot into android where I have icons for some of my apps, but not much else. Many of those apps force close as soon as they try to open.

I've tried "wipe data/factory reset", "wipe cache partition", "wipe Dalvik cache", "wipe battery stats" with no effect.

I don't care about recovering my apps. I just want to know if I can somehow pull my contact data out of the recovery image, or bypass the install of angrybirds so maybe the restore will work.

Any suggestions? Keep in mind I'm a newb. Thanks!
