You still need to use strace. You only use 'strace <app name>' when you are using strace to start an applicaiton. You can attach to an existing (running) process, using 'strace -p <pid>'. Use 'ps' to find the process which is managing the contacts and messaging, and use the appropriate pid. Off the top of my head, I'm guessing it will be the process with name 'android.process.acore', but I don't know anything about the top layers of software here. You'll have to figure out which process is actually managing the data items you are interested in. I suspect that what you'll eventually see is file system activity from a sqlite library, either directly from an app or from one of the system servers on behalf of the app. -- Tim ============================= Tim Bird Architecture Group Chair, CE Linux Forum Senior Staff Engineer, Sony Corporation of America =============================
