Hi everyone,
Sorry if I'm not posting in the right section...
Here is my problem: I love the MIUI rom, but I believe there is one major issue with this ROM: The Contact.apk because its entries do NOT match Google contact entries, in particular there is no separate fields for First and Last Names... which sucks because it means going through google contacts on the PC to tweak any new contacts entered with the phone.
I tried to copy CM's contacts.apk into my Miui Rom, and although I did not get any FCs, the UI was all messy and useless. Also, I love the MIUI UI, I just miss the google contacts fields... And I just can't understand why MIUI devs could not develop a contacts.apk that exactly matches google contact entries, since this app is meant to sync with google contacts, that's just so weird...
I'm no dev, so I don't know how to improve this app... but if some of you devs had an idea how to tweak MIUI contacts.apk (and add new fields to it) or how to port another contacts.apk better matching google's that would be so great!
Thanks for reading my request

I've tried in the general and Q&A section about it, but no one is replying so I'm going to have to go ugly and hack the APK
In Android 2.1+, the stock contacts merge contacts with the same name, a few of my contacts have the same name but are different people (obviously) but because of the merge, I have 2 mobile numbers in 1 contact for 2 different people and I have no idea who I'm ringing.
Firstly does anyone know of a way to disable this ? (it doesn't merge online, just on the phone)
If not, who knows how to change the APK to stop the merge, is any developer willing to attach a Contacts.apk without the merge ?
Thanks
Is anyone interested in or capable of adding copy / paste functionality in to the Vanilla 2.2 Email.apk? This should be the source code [here]; I have no clue how difficult or possible this is, but it seems like it would be a simple enough problem to fix considering ALL of the other E-mail applications I have used have it.
The link again: http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/packages/apps/Email.git;a=summary
You can press menu->more->select text... it works, though it's not exactly elegant. There needs to be a more unified c/p base on this OS.
EDIT: Nevermind, had read Email as Gmail. Sorry .
Wish I could help but I can't. On another note, I love how the copy/paste is on the HTC email program now. It brings up a magnifier box and two "selectors" to show where and to you want to copy from. Think it does it in the default browser too but Xscope is my default. Would be cool if it was the Android default way.
Hi
The fact is that the only thing I like from the htc sense is the way it links my google contacts with the facebook contacts, almost automatically.
is there a way to have that on a rom without sense?
Thanks!
In short, no. There are some apps that try to do this however none of them work anywhere nearly as well. If the contact has the exact same name as they do on facebook it will happen in stock by itself, however it is not as good.
Damn, just as i thought.

Thanks anyway!
hi
i'm looking for a software that can MERGE the contacts from GOOGLE,FACEBOOK and the phone itself in a single contact (preferably a .vcf file), instead of LINKING them with others.
due to this, now my DHD has 750 contacts instead of 380 initially.
can anybody refer me any app for this??
Sorry, i have no answer for this, but a small question that I thought it would fit in here, so theres no need for a new thread.
Is it possible to link your own contactcard to an existing contact/synch your own contactcard with google contacts?
I already had myself in my OS X Adresbook and Google contacts, as a result i had myself in double on my phone, so I copied all data to the personal contact card and deleted the old one, but it seems like this one does not get synchronised??
Any ideas to do this without yourself twice in contact list?
1. In my "contacts" section, I am missing three people (my girl and two close friends). Discovered pretty quickly that they are in my "favorites" section in the stock CM7 dialer. The strangeness comes when I remove them from my favorites, they don't return to my general contacts listing. I don't want to make a new entry for these people and have hella doubles in my synced google contacts, am I doing something wrong? Is this a bug of some kind?
2. I can't seem to find a way to "link" contacts like I used to be able to in Sense, but perhaps that was just a nicety of Sense. If there's no way, I'll just have to do some painstaking contact maintenance and clean it up for good.
Thanks in advance for the help
1. Confirm your settings under Menu->Display Options. It may not be showing all of your contacts by default. Make sure to check the actual gmail/other accounts to see if groups are unchecked..
2. Edit a contact, then press Menu->Join.

AWESOME. I kept searching in "settings," completely overlooked display options as if it weren't even there! Thank you, all problems solved!
i am running his rom (many names so far...) and its the best one of the 4 2.3 roms for the epic so far, but i have one MAJOR problem with it, there is no integrated contact accounts, facebook (in which i depend on fully for a lot of my phone numbers) is in the contact list thanks to the app, but none of them show up in the google search of the phone, usually this is a simple fix set up the integrated facebook contact account, but this rom has non!!! if anyone can tell me a way to fix this or a way to get acces into the rom's thread (i allways get that im too new even though i meet all the requirements to not be new....) it would be greatly apreciated
could try downloading TW4 to get the Facebook SNS
Like zigg said, check system\app to see if sns.apk or snsaccount.apk are there. Push copies of them in if they're not.
