CM7 Contacts - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

any one know if it's possible to use or create a local or non-google "profile" for holding contacts in CM7. Like in stock/sense roms. I don't want to use google (or anyone else) to manage my contacts.
any help or guidance is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I'm not sure exactly what you're asking but you can go into your contacts>menu>import/export.

I know that when you try and add a contact, it asks (at least, it does for me, and I'm running CM7) whether or not I want to add that person as a google contact or a phone contact. It says the phone contact is unsynced, which I believe is what you're looking for..
right?

How Do You Send A Text Message To All The Contacts In Your Phone?

Just trying to figure out how i am able to send a text message to all the numbers in my phone without having to select the 200+ contacts individually...
Can anyone help me out here? Does the 8525 even offer an option like that?
Please help
Thanks
hey that s called spam!
i m not sure but maybe you can create a group (like you do on outlook) and send the sms to that...
lol
well im in the promoting business and the majority of my contacts are those who attend my events.
Im not trying to go through outlook. I know in several other phones it gave you the option of selecting all or at least going through your contacts and checking all those you would want to send the text to. On this phone i cant seem to find any feature like that. I have to individually add EVERYSINGLE contact going from text to contacts list to text to contacts list. Its pretty ridiculous.
If anyone knows of how to select or send to all, i would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks

No, that won't work.
In your contacts, go to edit the non-Facebook contact, and push menu, then "Join." You can link it to the Facebook contact there.

[Q] Contacts Help

I recently flashed my EVO 4G and running CM7 rom. I'm enjoying it, but miss a certain feature from the default factory EVO. I was able to sort contacts by & create groups for my contacts (business, personal, work, family, etc) before the flash occured. This allowed me to view the groups very easily. Contacts were also able to go in multiple categories. Is anyone able to assist me in doing so with the contacts i have on cm7, which are simply alphabetized at the present? Thanx in advance...
Rocket Dialer uses the contact groups that have been synced from your account. I'm sure there are other replacements that do as well.
I think that when you sync your contacts from Google on CM7, the groups sync as well. The stock contacts and phone apps just don't show them.
I could be wrong, though.
(from... Evo/MIUI/Tapatalk)
Thx...I will give it a try
I have been using GO Contacts and like it very much. Does groups, etc... not sure if it is synced with any contact groups saved with Google. Gonna give Rocket Dialer a shot, too.

Dialer One is very similar to the Sense Contacts/People apk.
The GO Contacts is working well for me...thx alot for the insight...

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.

Multiple mobile number in phone contact

Folks,
I need to have 2 mobile numbers in my contact for the same person.
It seems in HTC Desire is not possible. i'm using LeeDrOiD HD V3.3.3-Port-R5.
Is it possible to replace the People app with something else which support 2 or more mobil number in a contact ?
I know i can enable this if the contact is saved on google contact, but i do not want to use Google contact. Thank you.
why are you so complicated? are you syncing with outlook or something?
if not i would say you just use one of the other options...
go to contacts, edit contact, click on new, than on the white button near the number and maybe you try the "Second Number" i dont know if it serves your needs
but if someof my contact has a second number it has always a reason, so i put it to privat or work or car dunno ....
maybe i helped you deciding
Hi crendot,
Yes i tried put the second mobile number as other number such as 'work' or 'fax'.
It's just a matter of convenience.
Does anybody has a better solution ? Thanks.
Contacts - edit - add number - change fax / home what ever to mobile... put the number in....
If you can't do that... change to another rom
if its so important for you i have a other solution
its a workaround and not realy neat but it does its job
make a new contact with the mobilenumber you want, set it like you want and than go to the other contact where "mobile" is already in use.
just go at the top to the chain, to combine/link them together, here go to all contact, select the one you just made and tada both have mobile
best solution i can offer
have a nice day
is it really so complex add 2 mobile numbers in the same contact? at the moment im on cm, but even on sense rom u can do that simply..
@BigMrB
I can't do that. Do you know which rom that allows me to do that ?
@andQlimax
sense rom do not allow you to add 2 mobile number under the same contact.
@crendot
yes it's useful. but i think i'll switch to another rom. Thanks a lot for your help.
