Link contacts in CM based roms - Desire General

Hi all
In my previous ROM which was based on SENSE UI I could press on the "menu" botton in a contact and "LINK" a contact to another one in other application. So for example to link a contact in my phone book to a contact in facebook, so this contact will have the info of their both.
I have ROM which based on CM (MildWild 4.6), and I can't find a way to do it.
is this feature is special for Sense UI's ? or is it a way to do it in CM based roms also?
thanks!

I'm not sure if this is what you wanted to do but...
Open Contact app
Long press on a contact and choose "Edit Contact"
Press Menu button and press 'Join' choose the contact you want to merge.

If the contacts (from facebook and phone) have exactly the same name it will be done automatically. If not, open contact - Menu button - Edit - Menu button - Merge.
No way to do it automatically like in sense based roms, sorry.

[Q] Vanilla SMS - How to Add Additional Contacts

on Sense based roms, on the text messaging screen, i could just press on the To: field to add more contacts to text to. on Vanilla, more specifically Cyanogen, when i press on the To: field, when i already have one contact to send to, it won't auto find and fill more contacts. is this just a lack of feature on all Vanilla roms?

[Q] Disable contact pictures

hey!
just a short question: is it somehow possible to disable (remove!) the contact pictures that come with facebook-contact-sync?
thanks!
theo
edit: I am using InsertCoin HD-port
If it's just the Facebook ones you don't want, go into the settings of the facebook app and choose to not sync. Or if you don't want them to show at all go into the preferences of the Contact app.
I would like to sync all the facebook-contacts, but I don't want the facebook-contact-pictures coming with syncing "Facebook for HTC Sense".
the normal facebook app is not synchronising at all.
Open up the Contacts app and go through the settings to disable contact icons. To sync fully with Facebook, just go into the app, go into the settings and select sync all. If this doesn't work, go into Accounts and Sync and manually do it from there instead.

YES! thats what I want
but I can't find any "settings-menu" in contacs app ("people").
I am on InsertCoin HD Port - android 2.2.1
in contacts app I have only
-add contact
-view
-delete
-import/export
-search
-more (>blocked callers & linked contacts)
where can I find the option to disable contact icons?
THANKS!
Press the menu button on your Desire and it will bring up a little menu then just select settings. No idea what it's like on InsertCoin but should be still the same. They are there, you just have to find them. But seriously, press menu > settings.
arrr.
I feel like a real noob...I just can't find it :-(
as described above, when I am in my contacts app ("people") and press the menu-button I have only
-add contact
-view
-delete
-import/export
-search
-more (>blocked callers & linked contacts)
THERE IS NO "SETTINGS" option.
if you dont trust me I will upload some screenshots
cant imagine that there is no option like this in my HD-port...maybe I should ask in the Desire HD-forum...
nevertheless..thanks!
Sorry mate. I know what you mean now. Bloody native Android has it so you can get rid of the contact icon but Sense doesn't. I installed Sense earlier and I can't find anything. Guess you could get a 3rd party app and use that but as far as I can tell, it's not going to happen.

[Q] Duplicate Contacts?

Hi everyone
Installed BlackIce just now. My first AOSP ROM and its not half bad to be honest
However I am having this problem which I never had on Sense ROM's. In the dialer when I go to the contacts tab there are some duplicate contacts. It's because the Facebook profile of those people doesnt link to the Google Contact. They always used to merge into one contact in Sense ROM's.
I have the Facebook app set to Sync All like I did in Sense ROM's. No settings have been changed.
How can I fix this?
You will have to go into your individual contacts, press edit, press menu, and select join. That will allow you to manually link your contacts from Sim card, Facebook, twitter google etc. You will have to do it for each one.
It's not quite as easy as sense but it will take care of the duplicates.
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using XDA App
For batch merging, go into People application, go into setting and choose remove duplicate. It will merge any of the contacts with exact same name.

CyogenMod 10.2 - Android 4.2.2 - Delete CONTACTS ?

I recently flashed cm-10.1.0-RC2 on my GS3 and everything is looking good and very smooth but I cant seem to figure out
how to edit/delete a phone contact ....I can add no prob but I dont see any option to delete or Edit ?? Anyone on Android 4.2.2 can maybe point me on the right track
Much appreciated ...
From contacts page, tap the desired contact picture (not the name). A larger picture will pop up with the number and the option to text. Again, tap the picture. Once that opens, tap your menu button down by the home key. The top option will be "edit"
