[Q] Modify Prefix - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I had asked this back in December in the general section, but I think this is where I should be asking this question. I was wondering if there is a way to edit all of the contact information similar to what is seen in the Gmail web interface? I have looked around, but haven't found anything. I know what comes standard, but is there an app that will plug into the Gmail interface directly so we can customize the labels of the numbers and address, or modify prefix/suffix information? If there isn't, would this be feasible to program, or is there no way to access the Google contacts in that way? I search the forums, but I didn't see much about contact editing.
Thank you, and have a great day!

All People (Contacts) Question

Okay, I know there are two different "applications" for contacts on the TP2.
1. Is the standard Contacts app.
2. Is the "new" All People app.
In the contacts app, you can 'group' your contacts by Company or just display by name. In my TP1 I had it grouped by Company. I really liked it because I could have businesses and such hidden in each category that way I didn't have to go threw all the contacts to find someone in the middle. With the 'new' All People app, that option is grayed out for me on the USCC TP2. I really like the All People app because I have the facebook contacts synced and such. So, my question is, is there a way to get the All People app to group by Company as well?
*I hope I didn't confuse anyone and if you don't understand or need more information please feel free to ask.*

Facebook Sync: Where is the answer burried?

So, i've searched and searched and search. Either the answer is burried in some lost 8,000+ reply thread where there are 400 different conversations going on, or i'm just missing the blatantly obvious. Before creating this post, I also clicked through the suggested search results that open above the posting box. Unfortunately, those were no help as well.
I can go into each individual contact and make it manually change over to their Facebook picture, but that is 200+ people to do that for.
With the exception of having an arrowless keyboard, and this issue, i absolutely love the rom. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Currently running SuperEvo-V2 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=781296) with cmsnap7.6 krnl (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=733099)
And even while i hopefully wait for replies to this thread, i am still searching.
If i find a resolution, i'll post it here myself. until then, i still NEEEEED help.

I am running stock 3.29 and this automatically happens. You may want to contact your rom developer.
It appears that ROM is based on CM6. If it's like CM6, you download/open Facebook app, log in, and then it will ask you if you want to sync contacts...by choosing "Sync existing contacts", it will then sync all the contacts that are your phonebook, and if you do not already have a picture attached, it should use the FB picture by default.
If that doesn't happen...contact the ROM developer.

Yea, went through that step multiple times. No change.
Even tried an older apk of facebook to see if it might be a problem with the newest version. No change there either.
Pretty much going to ask in the developers thread. yay.

[Q] Is there a proper PDA Contacts/Address Book App ?

Sorry if this has been asked and answered already, I had a look here and in the general android apps thread and could not find what I'm after.
As a heavy PDA user all I want to be able to do is look at a contact and see al the information listed for him/her - i.e. (and this is where the people app is an absolute joke) the full address.
Using People I can look at a contact (synchronised quite happily from outlook through the HTC Sync Manager), however when I select a contact and scroll down I find that the address is shown in just one line and not completely. Try clicking on that line and it opens Locations - not what I want and completely useless if I have not data connection (i.e. on holiday out of the country).
At present the only way I can see a full address on my phone is to find the contact under People and then select the edit function !!

Gmail adduced account swap

EDIT: Mod please correct spelling in topic title. Rushing combined with no proofreading isn't good.
I searched, couldn't really find what I felt was accurate information with what little was available. I need to change Gmail cause the one associated with my DInc is years old & become cluttered with junk. I realize I can export my contacts from the original then import to the new at which point they should sync with that account.
Big question. What about apps? How can the purchase history be changed, app info backed up. Just any opinions, advice or whatever. Prefer to do it right the first time.
Basically would like to have work completely as is but with fresh address.

Since everything is associated with your Gmail account, I presume you'll have to contact Google about it. I am not sure if they've made changes to allow that or not. You also could contact the developer of the app, they may be able to help out too. It seems like it is an issue for a lot of people, so if you find an answer, please share your steps!
For apps I guess it would depend upon how you paid for them. I use Google Checkout so all my app purchases are linked to my account. The dev has to keep that information somewhere to verify that you bought it but not sure that you could get it out of them that easily a lot are just ma and pa devs and who knows what they keep around. Also not sure if Google allows you to rename your email address but it might be an option in account settings. That way you don't have to open a new account and all your Google accounts would be updated.
I went into my account but didn't see any thing in the settings which would allow you to rename the email account. Google tech support might be able to do it if you contacted them.

Help Find, Contact App Allows ADD Pics

Hello,
I'm trying to find a contact or dialer app that allows you to add multiple pics to a contact. Example, most contact apps have a "note" section so instead was hoping I could either add pics to the note section or have a section just for pics.
Reason why I'm looking for this and also think it may be very useful to other people. On few contacts I keep nnotes, like favorite color, things they like etc...a few times I would see something in store or mag and wanted to take pic and save with that contact so I can remember what it looks like or etc.
If anyone knows of such a app or willing to create it, I would gladly pay and willing to bet many other users would find it very very useful.
thanks
Brian
