Adding VZW Backup Assistant to a ROM?

[EisBlade]

Does anyone know how to add Backup Assistant to ROMs that don't have it? Preferrably, I'd like to install it to back up Contacts, then uninstall it until the next time needed, but would be willing to leave it and stop the service if that's not possible. Is there a APK file floating around that'll work in the Tbolt?

Thanks!

Add your contact to your gmail. Once you add your gmail account to the phone all of your contacts will be there. Far better than Verizon back up assistant

Yes, that apk would be great. Thanks. PM sent.

EDIT: Belay that request for the apk, kind Sir. From this thread alone I have just figured out how to properly use the google acct to store/backup my Contacts and remove duplicates. A grand day for me. Hooah!

I am also looking for the apk if you could send it to me

Sorry it took me awhile to get back to you all.

Let me know if it works for you.
Make sure that you download it as a .zip and flash it.
