I have one reason not to use CM7:
The ZTE Dialer, which displays my contact groups, based on those Google contacts tagged as "My Contacts".
Without the dialer, I only know the apps Go and Youlu, which display contact groups. But they display filtered groups based on ALL my 1000 Google contacts, causing great confusion. I only want the selected (tagged as My contacts) ca 200 contacts from Google to display on the phone, divided in the groups, thus about 10-20 contacts per group, perfect for my daily phone use. And only the ZTE stock dialer does that, as far as I know.
I don't think there is any other solution except for the ZTE stock dialer.
3 days ago the official ZTE 2.3.5 Bin was released. Since yesterday there is an Elitemovil ROM based on it here on XDA. I will probably try it out, it seems to be perfect for my need. But first I wonder, is there any chance to extract the ZTE dialer from this ROM, in order to install it on CM7 via Clockwork? Or will this break something. It would be really nice to have an optional ZTE dialer for CM.

Hi,
There is one thing that driving me nuts. Lets say I have a friend, whose names is John. In google, I have saved his email ID with name j.smith .. .. then his another email ID with johns .. .. and then finally his cell number with name john ..
After, I linked up all accounts in my HTC Desire People. I can see these three accounts in one single contact. Fare enough and perfect. But is there anyway, I can merge these three accounts into 1 so that it is synced to my Google Account and to my HTC Contacts?
Not sure if I understand correctly what you want to do but its something I've struggled with as well. There was a perfect app for this on iPhone/iOS but I have yet to find anything that comes even close on Android. Try Contacts Analyzer available on Market but it's dismal. Doesn't allow you a preview of the changes you're about to make before you commit them!
Didn't help that .. :s
Gmail Contacts
Your best bet is to just do it in Gmail from your computer, then let the phone sync. It's easy and you will have them all in the same format, and you can add pictures for caller ID, etc.
You're in trouble if you have 1,000 contacts like I used to...the idea I think is to use an app that auto-works and gets the job done as a batch without you having to edit every single contact...then you can sync to Facebook and pull in some photos IDs...
Hi,
Anybody knows of an app that merges / joins contacts?
HTC Sense has this function if you know what I mean, sometimes a chain-link icons shows up in the notification area.
I´d like to have an app that does this on a batch basis so that I can chose to do so for all my contacts instead of merging / joining one by one.
I know I can do this one by one. Go contacts Ex gives this function without doing it for everyone at one batch job. You have to acceppt one by one...
I am using , Google, ActiveSync, Facebook, Whatsapp etc. contacts
Ideas?

This. Plus there is an option on Gmail to merge duplicates so you can at least have google do most of the sorting and merging for you. And if possible, don't let any HTC app mess with my Google contacts.

I think that's the most important idea about merging. My opinion's that any given app could mess things up and leave you with a lot of different linked contacts. Personally I prefer to edit all my contacts at my Gmail account so that I don't have to merge them again everytime I flash another rom for example.
If you're willing to take the time and patience for it it'll pay off to manually manage your contacts at Gmail.

I've been searching that function for long time since I moved from the stock sense rom to others, and still no app is giving me this. I even tried a lot of different contact manager but no one works really well.
About G contacts: I really care to keep the list "clean" and every contact linked with whatsapp, email, facebook etc, but sometimes it just lose the info, even if I've just merged that contact with the app I'm currently using (I'm running MildWild) and rsynced the G account.
Try Go Contacts Ex (free), it has various functions on merging contacts (by number, email etc.)
Thanks, this works nearly perfect.
Mine im using contapps free from market, try it if you want too!￣ω￣

Hi
I just switched to Oxygen ROM which is amazing btw and my battery is lasting forever compared to stock... but there is some thing i do miss, the HTC Link in the contacts... which was pretty useful...
Also could anyone tell me how I can put Own Number and contact, so that it shows my picture in while am texting....
i'm not sure, but i think go cotacts has some of the features.

No in Go contact it's a merge option.
Me too I search an app with the link between contact. If you find one tell me.
A bit complicated but to link contacts, open a contact -> menu - edit contact -> menu -> join contact.
To make your contact photo show, just make sure you are in your address book with the same number as your phone. If you are in your address book and you're still not showing up, check your number is provided by your SIM by going to Settings -> About phone -> Status. The "My Phone Number" should be populated with your number. If not, get an app off the market to edit your SIM. I used this one: http://www.appbrain.com/app/my-phone-number/org.lytsing.myphonenumber
Not sure if this is relevant to what you want to know, but there is a free app called SyncMyPix which forces all of your contacts to be represented by their facebook profile pictures. I found it useful on AOSP roms which dont seem to sync these pictures well
I'd try dialer one...gives you a link to you contacts.

Like davidbis mentioned use join contact feature it works completely the same like it was working with stock HTC rom. I've been confused with that as well, but worked fine.

Gesendet von meinem HTC Desire
Is the Cyanogenmod 7.0.0 contact app the AOSP contact app or has it been modified at all? I notice it doesn't support entering birthday or relationship fields which I recall seeing before but I don't recall if it's specific to an OEM dialer or maybe 2.2 AOSP.
Are there any Android apps that provide full compatibility with the Google Contacts manager (eg. support for custom fields, not just custom labels)?
Thanks.
I have a Galaxy Note recent updated to 4.0.4. However, a problem with contacts occurred after the update.
With ICS 4.0.3, I can sync with SNS, say Facebook and Linkedin. I often merge the contacts of same person from different SNS into a single contact item in the phone book, and choose a name for it. Since people may not use the same name in different SNS, this function for me is very useful.
But, in 4.0.4, after I combined several contacts from different SNS together, I find out that I can only set the content of phone book as the default one. Say, if I only combine the contacts from Facebook and Linkedin together, I cannot choose what name to be displayed as default one. The selection screen is blank.
Does anyone know if it is a bug? Or something I did wrong?
Many thanks in advance!
Running Quarx CM10 - 0409
Previous versions of CM7 and I believe CM9 had an option of only displaying contacts that have a phone number (eg dont show those contacts that just have an email address)
Its missing in the latest version - is it a CM mod or a standard JB exclusion?
Because the phone is synced to gmail, there are a lot of contacts that dont need to be displayed. They can be edited into groups to sort that problem, but the other way was faster and cleaner.
Is it just missing or did I not find it?
Moved to Q&A. Please ask all questions there, thanks.
