ever since i put the new CM7 on my wifes phone all her contacts are showing up 4 times each...how to i get it so its only one?
Go in to gmail then into contacts, and there is an option to merge duplicates,
Also make sure u go into contacts and only show Google contacts, you can export all phone contacts import them into Google contacts, then merge dups.
I like being able to manage my contacts on the internet if needed

including your post, if you have duplicate entries from facebook that have different names but still are the same person, you can join them by manually editing the contacts, press the menu key once you are editing that contact, and then press join. if there is a match close enough, it will suggest it to you. if not, go through the contact list that comes up and link that person.

also, this works for any other app such as voxer or other apps that use contacts.
This is coming from a TouchWiz-based ROM.
1. The AOSP calendar is nice and slick looking, but I can't point and hold a calendar entry and drag it to a new time slot. I HAVE to click edit and manually edit in the new time, meaning you lose visibility of your other appointments.
How do I get the TouchWiz calendar on this AOSP rom, or is there any calendar you can recommend? I would LOVE to get the TouchWiz version of Calendar on the Nexus. I can't drag entries with AOSP calendar. The only other calendar app that can do this is Business Calendar, and here's what it looks like:
This is what a typical day looks like:
https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/8hfObdeEkVj9SV2NQMYs4tD9pFGyYEySeJ2XOt5Mynk?feat=directlink
Look at the entry for 11:30AM - 12:30PM! It's completely, utterly hidden.
2. "Send Contact Information" seems to be missing. I can't press and hold on a person's number and click "Send Contact Information" to automatically text it to someone with the person's name already filled out. I can only copy the number, then I have to manually click on text, then press and hold to paste, then type in the person's name, and click send.
I'm using Google Voice so this is now a moot point
3. Why doesn't the color coding of my calendar entries match the color coding on my actual desktop Google Calendar?
fixed
4. The stock dailer in TouchWiz is superior to AOSP since I can directly text through the dialer as well.
work-around found
5. Stock calculator in TouchWiz is better since it shows history. This can easily be fixed with another calculator app though.
not a big deal
The big thing for me is the calendar. When you have to manage and shuffle around 20-some entries in a single day, the AOSP Calendar is absolutely un-usable. I need to at least be able to drag and slide around entries. Tried Jorte, aCalendar, Business Calendar. Still can't drag and drop entries.
You can surely text thru the stock dialer, just click the text button.
The calendar doesn't have drag and drop. But I love using the calendar in tablet mode.
Is this thread a Q&A or a rant?
1. True, you cannot. Check the play store. There are 100s of calendars.
2. Not via sms. You can share using many other methods. Just choose a contact, then menu>share.
3. Mine matches up fine on all of my devices.
4. You definitely can. Click on their thumbnail and the contact window will pop up. Or you can click the number and press the "text message" icon on the right.
5. As you said, there are many other options in the play store.

Doesn't on mine. I have 10 different color schemes. 5 main ones.

Response in bold.
Another thing:
When I click on any of the contacts it starts to automatically dial them. I would like to click on a contact, view the contact (so that I can share it, copy the number, add in new info, etc), and then if I choose, dial it. Why does it start dialing automatically?
TouchWiz doesn't do this. It actually first goes to a view contact page when you click on the contacts icon through the dialer.

I didn't know you were talking about from the dial pad, but isn't it just as easy to open the messaging app and adding the number there? You can text through the history tab though.
I can't really help you with touchwiz-esque replacements from the play store because I haven't used touchwiz before.
I know you probably have a habit of doing things a certain way; we all do. Perhaps the answer to a few of your issues is learning a new way to go about certain tasks. If not, maybe the Nexus isn't for you, which is fine.
My advice would be to try a bunch of different replacement apps in the play store. Hopefully you will find ones that suit your needs.

Use the people app to do that. The contacts tab through the dailer is meant to quick call. Or you can click the thumbnail to bring up the pop-up and click the thumbnail again.

This bothered me as well at first till I figured it out. First go into Google calendar on a pc, and set everything to the colors you want (no idea if this can be done thru the phone)
Go to the calender menu and select 'calenders to display' and at the bottom of the list of calendars press the button 'calenders to sync' and make sure everything you want to sync is checked and oress ok.
Go back and select the calenders you want to display in the app, they should have the color coding right next to the names.
Hope this was what you were talking about and that it helps you..

Just press on the picture of the contact (not the name/number) on the left and a pop up will show you the rest of their info. Click on the big picture in the pop up to go to the people app where you can share, edit, etc.

I understand that there's a bias towards the way "things were always done." But in the calendar's case, say that you need to swap two entries.
Entry 1 at 1PM and Entry 2 at 5:30PM. These need to have their times swapped with each other.
In TouchWiz this can be accomplished with two swipes.
In AOSP this needs 10 or more taps, going in and out of the calendar view and the edit entry view, and for you to remember that you need to put Entry 1 at 5:30 (not 4:30, not 6:30), etc.
This is simply a matter of a horrible user interface and user experience.
Is it possible to get the TouchWiz calendar on this device?
Touchwiz is a skin on top, you can try go launcher with is other goodies like go contacts and more.
You can also try the touchwiz ux port search for it. Think its on market too.

Wow I just realized that you can't share a contact via sms as well!
How dumb....this feature was even available on Nokia S60 and I used it quite a bit on my Captivate and SGS2!

I wish it were that easy. The main concern is the calendar. It's more than just a skin.
I know that I can longpress 1 in the dialer to get to my voicemail, but in the stock rom I also had an icon in the app drawer for it...and I no longer have that. So, I'm wondering how I can create another?
I'm pretty sure you need the voicemail apk . do you have titanium backup? or a previous backup?

Alternately, switch to Google voice for your voicemail provider. It's free, has a nice app, transcribes your voicemail to text, and integrates nicely with your sprint number.

Thanks guys!
I thought Android Wear can display any notification from my Note 3, but it didn't for most of my apps.
Example:
1. there is a notification from Samsung calendar for an upcoming meeting 5 minutes. Nothing is shown in my watch.
2. I am in a mall and Google Now show cards about movie times and places to eat. Nothing in my watch.
In contrast, my old Pebble can show ALL notifications, whether it's from Google Now or some 3rd party app.
Do I need to do something?
The 'augmented smartwatch' app can send anything to the 360. I use it for glitchy apps

How does this app work to show history alerts and content of stacked alerts?

the app basically keeps track of notifications and provides the history (prior alerts) as a scrollable view on the Wear.
It basically is a proxy for any notification from your android to your wear - with the ability to customize things (like vibration and sender pictures ) that the original app may not yet have done (for the wear).
I seem to have the same problem. On my Galaxy Tab S 8.4 with Touchwiz based Rom the notification of Power Amp for example isn't appearing on my watch. Paired to my Galaxy S3 (CM based Rom) it works as expected (every notification gets copied).
Problem with Touchwiz based Rom's?
Those "Settings" appear as different app/view in multiple tasking view.
for e.g. Settings, 1 view
then i goes to App infor, 1 view
exit
try search and search for any setting, for e.g. Notification, press it. This is another view.
if i go to Multitasking view now, all those will apppear as 3 different setting views.
anyway can remove all the differnt views as all those are part of Settings.
any screenshots?

Different settings view
Here are some views... As can see... All those is from settings view.. why cant all these group under single setting view?
Probably because you don't want to load the whole OneUI launcher if using an other I presume? So I'll say it's for compatibility they separated each activity.
Since Pie, the task manager works differently as Google made it mandatory to (I can't remember the details).
---------- Post added at 09:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:16 AM ----------
Additionally, it doesn't create an other activity window when they are related, like when you open a link from an app that opens your browser.
I know you can change this behaviour while root, but I don't think it's possible otherwise.
