Can you replace the motoblur contacts app with the stock contacts app? Or at least install the stock Google contacts side by side? If so, where would one find such an apk?

Hello, is there any way to back up contact pictures, or are they saved in a special place on the phone?
Now that 2.1 is getting closer, i would like to back them up aswell.
Thanks.
Hey,
if you sync your contacts with your Google account, then the pics are saved there and restored when you log in again with your account on your new ROM.
Have fun.
Could it be, that syncing the contacts from the hero to google isn't working on 1.5?
Syncing contacts and images on stock 1.5 works perfectly.
Be aware that if you sync with your Google account then the pics are converted and saved in a lower res. So when you restore them they look very ugly in comparison to before.
Is there any contacts app that is like the HTC Sense contacts app, that will sync everything together under one contact.

I'm looking for that too... I want to find an app or some way to be able to put all the contact details that show from facebook and all other contacts linked, in to my google contact......
Any luck finding it?
I would also be interested in this.
When i restored my contacts using mybackup pro they all restored as google contacts as well as phone contacts, so then i just deleted all of my phone cntcts using a contact deleter app from the market.
Google contacts all the way!
The google contacts have the phone and facebook info combined so photo birthday and all that.

I can not figure out how to just sync the 'My Contacts' group instead of ALL the gmail contacts. I have 3000 contacts and I don't want them all. I also can't figure out how to sync groups at all.
Anyone solve this problem yet?
the best I have seen is to check "only show contacts with phone numbers".
that's just not going to get it done....
I can't believe I am the only person who has this problem?
Nope, you're not the only one. I, too, have this issue and would love to get the original contacts app back (the one where I can select which group of contacts should be used from the list of contact groups defined on google)
I hate the new Contacts app..
I don't have a SGS, but if your rooted couldn't you remove the current contact.apk and grab the original one from a stock build an install it via ADB or such?
Just throwing out ideas to help.
You are not alone in missing this! I find this very annoying after creating a trim my contacts list in gmail and syncing that with the g1. Samsung better fix this oversight because I haaate scrolling through my hundreds of contacts!
Did you guys overlook, that you also cannot assign a ringtone to your contacts that were synced from G1 to Gmail to Vibrant? Cannot put your gmail contacts as groups. Also, the checkbock for send directly to voicemail is gone.
for now..
.. I installed aContacts from the market. It isn't great, but it makes life a bit easier.
I noticed that some of my contacts have their Facebook pictures associated with their info and there is a little Facebook icon on the contact.
Where are those contacts coming from? Is it pulling the contacts from my Gmail account and if an email address matches one of my Facebook friends it links them?
I'm just really confused. Also if I edit my Gmail contacts on my computer how do I get them to update on my phone? I deleted hundreds of "junk" contacts and they're still on the phone.
The facebook pics are pulled from facebook when the person has their number listed and u have the same number as a contact. To get rid of the junk contacts make sure every contact u need is synced to gmail then delete all ur contacts and resync from gmail.

In contacts, click the icon in the upper left that looks like 3 people and disable your facebook contacts from showing in the contacts screen.

So I'm new to Motoblur, but not Android phones.
At the moment I have two Gmail accounts and a Facebook account linked to my Motoblur account. As a result, I have ALL my contacts from all of those accounts in my contact lists, even though I have a "Cell Contacts" list under one of my Gmail accounts.
On my Milestone/Droid, I could select this group from Contacts > Menu, but apparently here I cannot. Any attempt at deleting all my contacts won't let me delete my primary Gmail account, saying other apps are using it. This is leading to frustration. Using Motorola Phone Tools won't let me delete Facebook contacts, as it says they were imported by a third party source.
Am I screwed here? Any solutions?
download Contact Remover from the market and you can delete all or selected contacts in one swoop.

But won't that just make them come back when my contacts re-sync?

make it so it doesn't sync contacts?
When you delete contacts you don't want they do not come back (I've done this a couple of times) I also went in and liked all contacts that belong together to make it less messy
