Save the contacts you want hidden to the sim card and then choose to only show contacts which will only show the ones in phone memory

Yeah, that doesn't remove them from the dialer.
Hello I found today that you cannot make a mass delete on you email application (the default one, which is coming with the device) and you have to select one by one to delete them. is there any way to get mass delete?
thank you
Do you mean the gmail app? not very clear to me.
If so this is indeed not possible, in gmail it's even very difficult to do because of a bug, but it can be done.
From gmail itself this is the trick.
Create label: something like to be removed
Use search like !label:whateveryouwantlabel select all add to the created label.
Go to the label and select all mail then delete it, otherwise you'll not be able to remove them.

So I was changing some stuff around on my home screen and dragged the "contacts" app that was in the bottom bar into the trash can. I was planning to just use the contacts I can see under the phone icon, but now I realize that only lets me dial contacts and not see all the contact info I have for them. Also, a few recent contacts I added aren't showing up online from my desktop. My phone says it's still succesfully syncing my contacts. I don't see "contacts" in my app drawer (but I don't know if it ever shows up there.) Did I uninstall the contacts app, or am I just missing a setting somewhere to make it display?
Well the app is called "People"... I'm assuming that's what you mean.
If you're on the stock launcher, there's no trash can for pre-installed apps. You can only see "App Info" to disable it. You can't uninstall with 1 drop.
If you're rooted and using a custom Launcher, it may have a "trash can" to long-hold onto to uninstall, and if you're rooted it may offer a full uninstall of system apps.
Gonna need more info here...

Not sure to exactly understand your meaning but you can' hide them I believe.
The only way is to uninstall them...

Sorry to say there is no such Mod implemented yet.

What is the aim of hiding them?
Dont want to share my phone with others.
And sure the dropbox

Hiding these lines won't change anything thought...
If you don't want to share your files you must disable some features or uninstall some stuffs.
Dropbox is a system file. So cant uninstall in app manager
But the account info can be delete at account and sync.
So how to make it cant be delete?
You have to use an app to lock those, I use App Protector Pro. It asks for a password for selected apps or settings. There are several such apps.
I dont want to lock the whole setting sir..just the account is enough..
Iv try protector pro and a kind.
It still canr prevent the account from been delete.
Any idea? If we want remove acc...must give password....
I go to Contacts settings and set to display only Google Contacts. As I know this should have defaulted new contacts to be added into Google and you no longer need to choose which phonebook to store it from the dropdown menu, but it doesn't work on my GPro.
Any1 knows how to solve this? Thanks in advance

While adding a new contact u would get an option to link that contact to ur google account(save to cloud which can be synced by using ur gmail id) or save it on phone memory only or on sim.. Is this what u are asking? Try saving a new account and watch out for these options.

I'm aware of the options, and it is the option dropdown menu that I want to default to Google. It's annoying having to change it to google everytime I want to add a new contact.
As a matter of fact, I can live without using the phone memory at all!

Looks like this phone really locks down the contact book. You can't even edit your own profile info once you set it. At the top of the contact list there's an entry called "ME." I went to edit it and put my home landline phone as my home phone, then added my cell as a mobile. The home number is greyed out and you can neither edit nor delete it. What kind of nonsense is this?
I'm also looking for a solution.
Clearing data/cache from Contacts and Contact Storage from either Apps settings or TitaniumBackup do not work.
Really frustrating. I'm having a hard time moving my contacts from other phones which can't sync with Google.

Try to use rainbow contacts (get it from playstore) if your other phone had bluetooth on it..
Is there any solution for this Contact problem that Google can't be the default but always the Phone ?
I was hoping upgrading to kitkat would change this, but it didn't.
