Well, first of all, when installing a new ROM everything in the phone memory gets wiped, including contacts, but you already know that.

Regarding contacts on your SIM, that is what I think you are referring, they are not touched, but most cooked ROMs have a setting in the reg to hide those contacts.

You have 2 options in here:

1- Edit your registry, go to HKCU\ControlPanel\Phone. Look for the key ShowSim, it should have a 0, change it to 1. With this you Sim contacts will show in your contact app.

2- This is the most effective solution, however. Go to the Sim Manager app in programs. There you will find all your Sim contacts. Tap Menu, Select all, Menu again, save to contacts. With this you will have a more flexible way to manage them.

Cheers.

I disagree, i've tried almost every rom on XDA for wizard since june 06 and almost everyone shows sim contacts as a default.
