Importing phone contacts to gmail

---

I'm trying to finally switch over to a custom ROM but the only thing that is holding me back is that I cant find a way to import my contacts from the Stock OS over to my gmail account so that when I use the custom ROM, theyll be there. My auto sync is on and it refreshed but gmail is only showing email contacts.

You can save your contacts to your sd card and then import them back over. Contacts >> menu >> export to SD

When I click menu on the people's app/contacts I dont see that option. Am I in the wrong spot?

I found it in Phone >> People >> Menu >> Import/Export

When I lick menu I only see the new contact button, search people, delete contacts, view, and sync exchange contacts

Theres an app (sry dont know the name as of right now) but it exports your entire contact list onto a CVS file or vCard - not that kind - and u can import all of them in gmail.

I believe there's another app that also converts all your current contacts to google contacts, so they sync automatically. I'll check the market later and post the names if u haven't found them already.

Edit: just use ExportContacts and import the cvs file in gmail. then sync them to your phone. after that just make sure when adding a number its a google contact.

It was called contactsync > Linky
Official Website - Found at bottom and I quote

WARNING: phone instability has been reported on HTC Hero. Use ContactSync at your own risk!

Personally I wouldn't use it as many people have reported that it messed up their hero. Its easier still to use "exportcontacts" and import the .cvs file in gmail and then sync them to your phone.
