Recommend an app for contacts - Verizon Droid Incredible 2

I am looking for an app that will help organize my contacts, previous dialed, missed calls, etc into separate views instead of everything on one screen that the stock app does. Thanks.

GoContacts does that. https://market.android.com/details?id=com.jbapps.contact&hl=en. I've used it quite extensively, even up until yesterday (did a fresh install of Affinity) and it works very well. Has a lot of the features of the sense dialer and adds a lot more customization and organization.

It's perfect! Thanks!

nice app thanks

I have fallen in love with pretty much everything made by the Go Team! And the fact that everything is FREE doesn't hurt at all.

Go Contacts or Dialer One work very good. I have used both and each have their pros and cons, but well worth a look!

Acontacts is my favourite so far. Smoother and faster than GoContacts. I think it's actually the fastest of all dialers. You can add functionality with the available plugins...

A lot of people seem to like "contapps"

HTC Evo Text APP

Has anyone had good experience with a aftermarket text ap? I've tried heaps and dont like them. The stock app jumbles my texts all up so im trying to find a better one.
Handcent is what I use. It is quite nice allowing different tones for different people for example.

If you must have the stock messaging app, use SMS popup from the market. Free and does what you need. Otherwise, use Handcent.
So far handcent is working about 50 times better than that stock usless text. Thanks!

What app you want to see updated?

This is just a thread for thoughts and ideas that people want to share!
I like apps and after owning windows 7, iPhone and android I have an idea for how apps should look like, if anyone own iOS they can tell you tweetbot is one of the best apps on it, or android tweet lanes looks really good but needs speeds performance, anyways I would like to know what apps you like the a lot but would love to be updated to ICS Holo look and feel, IMO the app that I used the most is Tapatalk, probably the best money I spent on android app so far(and titanium backup anyways the app is great but miss the ICS feel, I wish they could updated to make it feel more Holo look and feel like tweet lanes, swiping will be cool to go from recent to favorites , what app would you like updated?

I would love for the HD netflix app to be updated.
I'd like the Hotmail app to be renamed to "Outlook" and completely redesigned/updated to match the web interface of the new Outlook.com email client released by Microsoft.
And for those who don't know what I'm talking about, the new Outlook.com really does compete and even beat out Gmail in MANY aspects including features, simplicity, and attachment size allowed.

Yeah I signed up a few days ago and thinking of using it as my main email, but like you said that app needs yo get updated for sure

Yeah I've been with them for a while. From msn to hotmail and now to outlook. The new look is awesome.
I wish they would update 2 apps.
1. Awesome Beats - so it works with apps other than Google Play.
2. CWM Touch Recovery - so it saves backups with the correct date and time.

Good email client like HTC or iPhone

I love the HTC and iPhone email client, even the stock is is better but Samsung definitely sucks, do you guys know of any? Please don't say k9 the app ui is horrible it feels weird for some reason

I use maildroid. I works really well for me. I would still prefer the iPhone's mail app if I could choose because of better mail search, but maildroid is not bad at all.
Then go buy an htc.

He has a valid point. The TW email app flat sucks. He needs to switch to CM10 or AOKP because the aosp email app is so much better. He can also use root explorer and delete the TW email app and add the one from CM10. This is what I do when running a TW rom.

I've been using K-9 mail. Used to work great but in the last 6 months or so it keeps reposting deleted emails, over and over.

I personally use Touchdown for my email and the stock for my calendar and contacts. Touchdowns great, as it can sync all of my folders and not just my inbox. It's also got a unified inbox experience for all the folders.
It's a little pricey and I probably wouldn't buy it today, but I got it back at G1 launch when there aren't any other options.

Best Messaging App.

Just wanted to share the best messaging app to date.
App
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.textra
Emoji Plug-in
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.textra.emoji
Its in the Play Store why you so hype?
Well I've spent countless hours trying to get a good sms app. I've tried them all Go SMS, Chomp SMS (Same Developers BTW), Handcent, AOSP Messaging, Etc... and they tend to get laggy at some point or lack group messaging or both. In other words i'm just trying to share my happiness.
You Welcome.
Give facebook messenger a try it works . Lots of emojis... btw I don't even use Facebook

I would say facebook messenger would definitely be 2nd best in my opinion. I dont like the loading time on it besides that it is filled with features. Textra is just so quick and it just works. By the way anyone who likes the facebook messenger notification bubbles should look into Ninja SMS. Textra and Ninja SMS work great together.
Seems great. Am i just missing something though? The description in the play store says it is semi customizable. I don't see any customization options besides the color of the default icon when a message is received.
Edit: re read the description and everything makes sense now. I thought they had theme options and stuff. Oh well! I'm definitely keeping this app and waiting for their next update. Thanks

Just tried this, haven't found anything as good as Sliding Messaging yet though. It's got three different layouts and the emoji are so much better.
Just tried it and it missing a lot that handcent has. Customize options. Also does not have any themes to it. I think in a few months after a lot of feedback it might be good
We chat is cool with the audio messaging

Thank you for sharing. I actually installed it and it works so far so.good now. Group text is flawless. Much faster than stock Message app.

This kind of annoys me because I paid for Chomp.... Why not just integrate the features. Oh, I know! Let's make a new app to get more money if and when we make it a paid app.... Maybe?
I like sliding messaging.

I like the fact that it has emoji integration but the app itself looks hideous. It's attempt at trying to be holo looks like a crossbreed between sense and gingerbread. Nonetheless it works fine.

Differences between Textra and Chomp?
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
Textra seems like a simplified version of Chomp. With the swipe to return to conversation list. You can't change the colors of the chats.
Has anybody tried Invi?

Messaging

Hi everyone! I am currently looking for a massaging app that is Internet based. I have it narrowed down to three. Whatsapp, Hangouts, and BBM. I would like everyone's opinion on those and which is the better choice. Thanks in advance!
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
Having not used any of those apps, I can't really offer any opinions of them. Personally, I think the best way to go is Google Voice with CM Team's Voice+, that way everything is handled through the stock messaging app. Ultimately though, it just comes down to personal preference. Use each one you're considering for a day, then decide which most suits your needs.

Good advice, I'll do that. Thanks!
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
I just started using hangouts and I love it!
Sent from my LG-LS970
really just depends on what the other people in your life use. I personally just SMS and use hangouts because most the people I know are on google accounts. ive heard whatsapp is awesome just nobody else I know uses it so its pointless for me. its like trying to get people to use Google+ instead of Facebook, cant get anyone to switch
