Hi Jack,
The XML ID of the menu is "*contacts.res_partner_menu_contacts*". If this does not work, override the action as well and change the name of the action also.
The XML ID of the action is "*contacts.action_contacts*".

Hi,
To get the ID of any menu what you can do is that, just activate the developer mode and navigate to *Settings -> Technical -> User Interface -> Menu items* , and search the name of the menu and open it. Then click on the debugger button near the logged in users name and click *View Metadata* . There you can see the XML ID.
