Favorite Contact app? - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

We all know we don't like the samsung look when using the contact/dialer app, at least for me. I was wondering if you guys are using the stock contact app or a different one. Does the stock contact/dialer app appear on your phone at all if you are using a different contact app from the play store?

Original google apps

How can I install original google contacts and sms application? I extract these apps from CM9 zip, but I can't install them.
You mean you want to install cm9 apps in stock rom???????
If so it can't be done just like that because the cm9 apps require the cm9 framework.

Then you can extract the contacts apk and make it work in any device, and put it here for free. Will check here if you upload it. Thanks

you get the legal issues, right?
That user is not allowed to sell googles work as his/her own and therefore it should be removed from the market imho. Thanks.

TMobile Contacts Backup and SGS2

In need of some advice from someone much smarter than me:
I am trying to figure out a solution for the small contact photos with Google contacts. I'm aware that there is an app to modify this, however it is paid and might eventually be updated by Google.
I know that if using TMobile contacts, the photos arent downscaled.
I am running Juggs 5.0 and tried to install the app from Play Store, but it says "Incompatible with device".
Any suggestions?

Did you change your screen density by chance?
Most of the "Incompadible with device" issues are because people lower the dpi from stock 240 to something lower.
Not sure why anyone would use that junk. Google sync completely removed the need for T-Mobile sync. Not even sure why they put it on there. That's why most custom roms take it out.

[Q] will not change default cal app in gmail?

when in Gmail I select a calendar invitation it automatically brings up the Samsung calendar app. I have cleared the default on Gmail as well as the Samsung calender app however I would like it too pull up Google Calendar app as a default. the funny thing is when you go in the Application Manager all applications say they have no set defaults. How do I fix this to pull up Google Calendar app?
You have google calendar installed from playstore? It doesnt give you an option as to witch app to use as default?
Whats the diff between samsung and google calendar? You can sync either one the same

Alternate contacts app

Just trying to get recommendations on alternate contact apps. Not a fan of lg. I wish i could get the stock people app that google uses on nexus 4. I miss that one
Check out exDialer. It's a 14 day trial (I think, might be 7) then you need to get the pro license, but you can snag it off of Blackmart for free(; There's also contacts+ if you're into the whole "cluttered" look and there's always GO Contacts Ex. (BLEGH) I recommend the first
contacts+ is really good. it is a text messaging, dialer, and contacts app
I like DW Contacts and Phone.
