Is there a way for me to change the default pictures or maybe hide them?
Also, is there a way to add a scroll bar to that list? I miss being able to skip to say, the "M" names in a few seconds.

I am wondering the same thing. I miss navigating the iPhone dialer because you can just tap on the alphabet and it'll bring you right to where you wanted to be.

*A shameful self bump*

there are other contact managers in the marketplace, you could give them a try. i havnt really messed around with any, so i cant really recommend anything.
what i would suggest is to use your groups, manage your friends in a friends group, family, work and so on... that way you dont have to scroll through large number of contacts... the nice thing about using groups is that you can quickly send mass texts or emails...and if you use google voice you can have different voicemails based on the different groups.

Hi, Palm 750 does have an app search contacts from Today screen. This app is great, so no stupid search in long contacts list. Does anybody know how this app from Palm is called?
HTC Home quick contacts tab is great too.
hmmm if i open my keyboard and start typing the name of the person i want to call that will open the dial pad and it will allow me to call that person.
that's the way palm app works, but our keyboard is a slide out...

[Concept] Folder / Filters for Live Tiles

I always hear that some people have a problem with the fact that WP7 will have a list of live tiles on the main home screen...for me, something like a filter or a folders (yeah, every major OS has folders today) for the tiles could fix this problem...
[I can not link to external sources, so here link without http]

Is the home screen of WP7 a deal-breaker for someone and could this be a solution for the *problem* ?
No comment but here you go.

EDIT:// I got confused, this was the concept. I like the concept a lot. It reminds me of how the zuneHD home screen works.
However, the hubs are 'supposed' to aggregate your apps for you. All your games will be in the games hub, picture apps in the picture, music in music, etc.
From what has been released so far I do really think they need a better way to manage your apps and a task switcher.

Google contact vs HTC People on Z roms

Anyone know how to make google the default phone book to save contacts too, instead of HTC people?
Your question is not clear.. You have the option to save your contacts on the phone itself.. or on google.. there is practically no advantage to saving your contacts on the phone.. but plenty of advantages by saving contacts to google.. since it stores and syncs it with your gmail account online.. .
Thats what i mean, when i go to save the contact, it doesnt prompt to save to google, just phone
There is a drop-down where you can select Google or Phone. Do you have and are you logged into your Google account via your phone?

Re flashed the rom, and took my time and paid attention, and it looks like it saved to Google this time, but my last install wouldn't allow me. IDK, but thanks alot for the help.

The People app....

Loving the phone so far. One issue (aside from the low res photos) is syncing with Google +. I have quite a few friends on there and everything is set to sync. On my PC in the circle I am most interested is 10 people. On the phone that circle shows 0 people. Now if I go to the people app and choose to display by Google+ contact, some people show up but not others. I have manually removed and added people over and over, and forced the phone to sync over and over but nothing is working. I even went to google contacts and added peoples profile information there but no joy. Linkedin worked flawlessly, as did Twitter. Aside from trying to uninstall google+ and reinstall, anyone had the same issue or any fixes?
EDIT: Turns out I can not delete the app anyway......
Also if I go to the Circle on my phone it says "10 people" in the top left yet also says no people on the very same page.........

[Q] email widget for "unseen" emails?

I just switched from windows phone to the lg g3. So far I am loving the switch. My only remaining issue is that windows phone had a feature where if you glanced at your inbox it would clear the "count" on the widget. As far as I can tell all of the android email widgets only show unread messages. This doesn't work for me as well.
Can anyone point me at a widget that behaves similar to the windows phone widget? Basically is shows the count of messages that have come in since the last time email was checked.
I still manage read/unread on the desktop.. but for mobile device this is sure a nice feature.
If you are willing to use nova launcher then you can install tesla unread settings which will provide you unread counters on the corresponding icon. That's what I use and I love it. Here's a screenie:

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
No matter what, I can never stay away from android for long.
