[Q] Help on how to Delete multiple Contacts - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

Hello All,
I have recently installed on my Htc Hd2 the cyanogenMod-7-Nightly typhoon V3.3.3 MAGLDR Android Ver 2.3.4 and it is working fine.
My question is, I have loads of double contacts in my phone so how do I delete these contacts by checking the boxes to delete those selected. At the moment, I can only delete contacts one at a time. I am not having the option to select various names to delete at a go. Any help?
My second question, is there any ROM which is closer to the Samsung Galaxy S2 that I can download and install?
Thanks in advance.

Q1: ...
A1: Android Market > "Go Contacts" > Install > Open it > Hit Menu > Merge Contacts.
Q2: ...
A2: Not that I know of, but you can try ADW.Launcher in combination with Samsung Ga;axy S2 Theme .

I think you gonna sync your contacts with your google account?
It's easier to edit your contacts in your browser of your PC/Laptop.
just go to www.google.de and in the menubar ob the top on "E-Mail".
Login with your google account.
In the left menu is the "Contacts" option. if you mark all, you can merge alle you double contacts via "More actions"->"find & merge duplicates".

HTC EVO, OMJ FROYO 2.2, Google Contact Sync

Hello,
I recently updated to OMJ's Froyo 2.2 ROM v2.1, FroYo 3.26.651.6 (august 4th) and afterwards, I kept getting a "sync is unavailable" error, when I would try to sync my google contacts.
This is the answer I found after an hour and a half.
1. Settings
2. Applications
3. Manage Applications
4. Running TAB
5. Scroll down to "Contacts Storage"
6. click on the "Clear Data" button (should zero out.) may or may not start increasing in size almost immediately
7. go back to settings
8. choose "Accounts & Sync"
9. choose "Google"
10. Sync your contacts if it hasn't already started by itself

Contact Sync FFOS all versions

Hi,
I'm looking a way to sync my contact via CardDav (No Outlook, No iCloud, No Gmail)
It seems the FFOS Dev team is not working on despite a lot of users need it
As no CardDav option in FFOS I searched the web and found : Firefox OS Assistant
FFOS 1.3 / Firefox 32.0 / App : PC Sync (Market Place) / Add-on : Firefox OS Assistant 1.3.3 (from Chinese branch of Mozilla)
at first vcf import does not work for me
but after typing one by one each contacts, import / export works ! (FFOS 1.3 only)
and it is not with 1.4 / 2.0
How do you sync your contacts those using FFOS 2.0+ ?
or a way to backup/restore via adb ?
edit I found an old fashion way Mozilla wiki "Tips &Tricks"
Importing Contacts via Device (manually)
First, export your contacts in your old phone to the SIM card.
Some phones have this feature built-in, check your Contacts app or phone settings.
Android: To export Google contacts onto a SIM card (which Android does not do by default), install the free app Contact2Sim. Open the app, select the phone, and in the options menu choose "Copy missing to SIM".

Fix the Contacts not merging issue on Marshmallow ROMs

after installing whatsapp , each contact is duplicated or to be specific they do not get merged automatically with google contacts or your local phone contacts making each of them appear twice ( 1 of google and other of whatsapp )
there is a way to fix this however
just follow this steps :
If ROM is clean flashed :
- go to settings > apps > options > select show system apps
- select contacts > clear data and clear cache
- select contact storage > clear data and clear cache
- go back to settings > accounts > google and sync contacts again
- now install whatsapp and carry on usually .. contacts should be merged fine
If ROM is dirty flashed or if whatsapp is already installed :
- uninstall whatsapp
- now follow from step 1 from If ROM is clean flashed :
get back to me if it works or not ! thanks to our friend for providing this solution

+ 1. Especially since I flash a new rom every other day. Definitely easier using Merge +

Think I deleted android calendar system app by accident - help!

Running out of internal storage for apps on my ZTE Blade MiniQ running android 4 .2 .2 I rooted it using Kingroot and then used Titanium backup to delete bloat ware.
BUT I selected something by accident but thought I'd managed not to delete it - now I think I must have! :crying:
I use google calendar sync'd with business calendar on my phone - it shows no calendars available.
I've installed the google calendar app - but it says my calendars can't be displayed cos calendar storage has been disabled - there is link to enable in setting - app info flashes up and then settings stops working.
I've tried deleting and reinstalling accounts, even a factory reset - nothing is working.
Have seen an old post about this but the link to 4share is no longer working
Has someone got a ink to the right file - and can tell me how to get it back on my phone I'd be extremely grateful
(I did delete lots of stuff like google play newstand - but think that should be ok - and no I didn't back up - cos I am an idiot! -or rather was only planning on getting rid of bloat ware)
The calendar is the one of the main things I use on my phone ....
1.download stock rom for Q mini from official ZTE site
2.extract this from ur stock rom:
-CalendarImporter.apk
-CalendarImporter.odex
-CalendarProvider.apk
-CalendarProvider.odex
3.copy/paste it in system/app and change permissions to rw r r
4.reboot

Add account not working

Hello
I have just installed lineageos 18.1 according to https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/gta4xlwifi/install on my Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 lite. Now I have the problem that I cannot add an account under Settings -> Accounts. Nothing happens when I press Add account. I have already tried to terminate the contacts with "Force stop" and have emptied the storage and cache.I only installed lineageos without google apps. All I have to do is enter an email address so that I can use the Yatse unlocker. I don't want to synchronize any mails etc. Is it not possible to enter an account / e-mail address without google apps?
Thank you
