WM has no Lock/Default "Filter" option for contacts in Address Book?

Therefore, the filter option is pretty much useless. Does anyone know any way to save the filter settings so that i can always see JUST my personal contacts defaulted in my address book? If not, what might be a good third party app (free is always best! ) that will do this, simply, for me. Thanks!

There is an option to filter by category in my ROM. What exactly are you talking about?

It gives you the option to filter, but then every time you go into contacts it is unfiltered. There is no option to "save filter settings." Therefore you are defaulted to only seeing the list you want.
I want to do this b/c i have lots and lots of work contacts i almost never use, but need stored. SO i would like to be able to hide them semi-permanently, but still be able to access them when needed.

Has anyone found a way to have a filter enabled by default?
Thanks.

I would like to know this too.
Thank you!

Do anyone know an solution???

Save the contacts you want hidden to the sim card and then choose to only show contacts which will only show the ones in phone memory

[Q]Any way of hiding apps?

Hi, is there any way of hiding apps in the apps drawer? There are a number of apps like license keys that are in the drawers which I obviously don't want to get rid of but also don't particularly want to see every time I open it.
My phone is rooted, but I don't want to use a different launcher, I like Sense.
edit. sorry posted in the wrong section - should've been in the general section. Can a mod move it?

Just to reply to my own question. If you have a rooted DHD and have Titanium Backup then "Freeze" removes an app from the drawer. I have hidden my license key for Touchdown for example (touchdown still works) and swept all that social networking vaporware out of the way as well. I haven't deleted, just hidden them to make updates easier.

Does anyone know what "Latitude" is called in HTC/Android speak?

I think Google Latitude is a feature on Maps that lets you share your current location with friends if you choose to.

Right, but it also appears as an "app" button in the app drawer. Does this mean I can't get rid of it? All that social networking stuff really bugs me.

Launcher Pro allows you to hide apps in the drawer (without root).

Disabling Facebook Integration!

Anyone know how to do it? I don't want to see that stupid 'f' icon at the top any more.

Or if you're rooted, remove the relevant APK's

Thanks, removing apk's sounds ideal, was rooted until I upgraded to 2.3.3, now gingebreak doesn't work.

try this

should do the trick, did for me

How simple is this?
Settings > "Accounts and Sync:" "Facebook" then uncheck it. Done.

Simple if it worked, i'm looking at the gray icon in 'manage accounts' and still see the F in the notifications bar.

Use gingerbreak on 2.3.2, then OTA update to 2.3.3 (it's still rooted!), kill the facebook apk's..

How do I get back to 2.3.2? I just unlocked the bootloader if that's going to help me any?

Indeed, if autosync is on you will get the facebook notification icon and a "cannot sync" message regardless of the facebook account sync options.
I just removed the account altogether as i don't really use facebook that much, so web based access is enough.

Hmm, I think I just want to remove all of this FB integration off my phone, I just need to figure out how to get back to 2.3.2

You just have to do one sync and then go to settings and uncheck facebook sync. If you never enter your Facebook account it'll keep asking you to enter it. That's how it work for me.

Deleted google contacts app?

Stock 4.02 ROM rooted/unlocked.
So I was changing some stuff around on my home screen and dragged the "contacts" app that was in the bottom bar into the trash can. I was planning to just use the contacts I can see under the phone icon, but now I realize that only lets me dial contacts and not see all the contact info I have for them. Also, a few recent contacts I added aren't showing up online from my desktop. My phone says it's still succesfully syncing my contacts. I don't see "contacts" in my app drawer (but I don't know if it ever shows up there.) Did I uninstall the contacts app, or am I just missing a setting somewhere to make it display?

Well the app is called "People"... I'm assuming that's what you mean.
If you're on the stock launcher, there's no trash can for pre-installed apps. You can only see "App Info" to disable it. You can't uninstall with 1 drop.
If you're rooted and using a custom Launcher, it may have a "trash can" to long-hold onto to uninstall, and if you're rooted it may offer a full uninstall of system apps.
Gonna need more info here...
