How to convert Android’s contacts2.db to .vcf
02.09.21
you can use this script: https://github.com/stachre/dump-contacts2db This seems to have been answered on our Android sister-site by Chauncellor: Well, this took a long time. For future searchers, here's what you can do: Find your contacts2.db file hidden somewhere in Android. Most of the time it's located in /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/databases. I was lucky and found it in a search through Titanium Backups' tarballs. Nab that file. It has everything in it in a sql database. I then found this excellent script to extract and convert all contacts into a .vcf format for easy importing into the next device. It's located here on Github and requires two dependencies (on an Ubuntu 12.04 machine in which it was written for): sqllite3 and libsqllite3-dev: sudo apt-get install sqlite3 libsqlite3-dev After dependencies are satisfied, save the script on Github as dbconverter.sh. Mark it as executable: chmod +x dbconverter.sh use the script like this: ./dbconverter.sh contacts2.db > contacts2.vcf You will then have a lovely .vcf file for easy importing into your phone.
