It appears Tranquility still uses BlurContacts, and not the standard Froyo Contacts. Is there any ROM released that uses the original Froyo Contacts?
Froyo allows sorting of contacts by last name, but apparently Motorola felt like removing that feature.
Thanks

Some quality vanilla roms have appeared in the market and I was debating whether or not to switch to one of them. One issue I have is that SenseUI leaves some notes that contain metadata for each contact that get nicely parsed in senseui but look like gob-illy-gook in Vanilla android. I have over a hundred contacts and manually removing this would be a hassle (even in gmail).
If anyone knows of a way to do this efficiently please share.
Thanks!
Ive been searching quite alot on the internetz about a solution for this but got tired and contacted htc.
In the original hero rom (1.5) you can simply check the groups you want to sync with your phone. However on custom roms with 2.1 you will notice its a bit different.
To achieve an equal sync limitation of your contacts you will have put all the contacts you want in your phone in the "My Contacts" tab in gmail since this is the only category/group getting synced (if you have the option to show auto gmail contacts UNchecked).
I hope this will save you some time, and i guess it will since google doesn't really say that this is how it works on 2.x+, not sure about donut.

Good info but I think it is in the wrong section. It does not have anything to do with development.
moved to general, best
ok!
wasnt really sure since it was concerning custom roms too, but thanks
I have a non rooted EVO with froyo, and sense on.
On 2.1 all of my contacts were displayed last name,first name.
SO, in contacts it would say..
Smith, John
now with the 2.2 update and without me changing around any settings it says
John Smith.
I want the last name first, but unfortunetly I cannot change it. The HTC people app doesn't have the option to change it.
I sync my contacts with Exchange and they are all on my outlook at the office, and it has changed the way my contacts look on outlook too, when I try to change it, it just reverts back to first name then last name.
I read and found that with non sense froyo, you can change the order of it, however the HTC People app is different, and did not have that setting.
Also I downloaded a Froyo AOSP version of contacts (from 2.2 ROM) and tried installing it, but got unsuccessful installation. I got the .apk from the CM6 ROM, I was thinking I can just use that app, and change the contacts to display last name, first name.
If anyone can help please let me know.
anyone????

I am with you!! ANYONE.. HTC Sync seems to have a real mind of its own.. today it said 163 contacts changed on my phone, then 2 minutes later the 163 were different on the phone!
This FIRST LAST is real annoying and it appears to have messed up my Outlook (don't know how good my most recent backup is). But all my display as fields are gone and some on the PC are now showing up as FIRST LAST even though they are set to display and LAST, FIRST.
and if you make a people shortcut for a quick dial it doesn't use the full name anymore just the first.
someone screwed froyo royally
Hey I have android operating on my HD2 after using Froyo stone Sense 3.2. Everything was working perfectly and syncing with HTC Sync 2 until I downloaded HTC Sync 3.
Now, while it seems to sync ok, I can't actually open HTC sync 3 on my pc. When I open it, it just flashes up with Updating HTC Library and then minimises to the system tray. I can right click on it and select Synchronise but that's it.
I tried downloading it again after uninstalling the previous version. It allowed me to change the options on startup but now is doing the same as before.
Perhaps I have downloaded the wrong version of HTC Sync 3? I downloaded the one for the HTC Desire HD (i thought that was what Froyo stone is based on)
Any help would be appreciated. Alternatively, if anyone has the older version of HTC Sync, I think I would be happy to just go back to using that! I've tried to find a copy online, but no luck.
Not much help in this reply, I'm just reporting problems as well. None of my contact information, calendar items or pictures get transferred upon sync. The program is apparantly working on something because you see the progress bar counting up to 100%, but open Outlook and the results are bleak.
I recently flashed my EVO 4G and running CM7 rom. I'm enjoying it, but miss a certain feature from the default factory EVO. I was able to sort contacts by & create groups for my contacts (business, personal, work, family, etc) before the flash occured. This allowed me to view the groups very easily. Contacts were also able to go in multiple categories. Is anyone able to assist me in doing so with the contacts i have on cm7, which are simply alphabetized at the present? Thanx in advance...
