[Q] How to fix duplicate contact entries (CM7.1)

Google is set to NOT sync contacts but I still have all contact entries in duplicate. I tried Contacts Analyzer to remove duplicates but it did nothing.
Any ideas?

Heh, I managed to delete them all using Contact Remover then I imported the backup .vcf, so all is good now.

Jelly Bean Play Music, can't find offline music cache

I'm running Bigexie's Jelly Bean rom and I'm having trouble finding where Play Music is storing it's offline music. I used to be able to find it under Android/Data/com.google.android.music but now this folder is empty, even though I have music set as offline. I thought at first that my music wasn't actually being downloaded, but after it says it's done making the songs available offline I have less storage space on the phone, and when I check the "on device only" option my selected music is shown. The music must be cached in different location in Jelly Bean, but I can't seem to find it. This is causing problems with apps like doubleTwist and Offline Music Importer as they can't find the music either.
Does anyone know where Play Music is storing it's music now?

Same here
Yeah, I found the same problem. Trying to get to the bottom of it atm... I'll follow up if I find anything

Yep, ok - found it all.
Looks like it stores it directly in the app cache now.
If you something like Root Explorer you can find it under:
/data/data/com.google.android.music/cache/music/
Not sure how useful that is to you.

Thanks. Yeah, I guess knowing where the music is stored doesn't help if the apps don't know to look there. At least my curiosity has been quenched.

[Q] How do you delete old SMS / Text Messages on Lollipop rom?

I'm currently using Contacts+ as my SMS app, I like using one app for my dialer/contacts/texting. The number of texts on my phone are getting out of hand. I see on Hangouts there is a way to check a button to reduce the number of texts if needed. I know there used to be apps that worked in ICS to delete old text messages.
How are you guys doing it now? I can't be the only one.
I'm currently running DigitalHigh's Rom on my verizon device.
Thank you,
Z

I use the google messaginer for sms

I would be asking the app makers about that?
Or surely just go into the stock messaging app and delete them?
I know 8sms can delete them anyway, as well as every other app I've ever seen.
Unless I'm misunderstanding your issue? ?

Oh, auto delete? Yeah... Many apps have that option, if yours doesn't... Again, app developer would need to add that feature or explain how.
---------- Post added at 04:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:22 PM ----------
Yes, 8sms has that feature.
---------- Post added at 04:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:22 PM ----------
Stock Sense does too.
Even though your using another app.... Have you tried limiting the number in Stock messaging app... It may still work, even if you're using another app.

I'm using an GPE version of Lollipop so the only native app is Hangouts and Google Messenger. Messenger does not have a delete function and Hangouts just has a function if too much space is being used.
I reached out to the the developer and they said use the native messenger to delete, I emailed back showing screenshots of not having that feature. Hopefully they can put it on their to-do list.

[Q] fire tv stick app layout

i was wondering if any 1 knows how to set up my fire tv stick with a layout to show my sideloaded apps to look like this. as i have a 2nd FTV and i have to go the long way to get to kodi ect through settings, managed installed apps..
or know of a way i can totaly back up my stick and transfer all data to another device. i looked at rooting but looks like i need to do some soildering
i have images to show how my layout is with apps like mobdro WSS and kodi skygo, btsport, ect with in the actual apps section without me going into manage installed apps. unable to post pics due to post count. i could link any 1 with images if some 1 could post for me

Not sure what you mean, cause you said "like this", but did not post a pic. I have a feeling that you might be talking about making all your apps show up in the apps section. All you have to do is downoad and install the Amazon App Store apk then reboot. It will show all of your apps in the apps section on the fire launcher, but it will break some functionality like being able to install amazon apps, but to fix it all you have to do is uninstall the app store and reboot. I never install apps from the amazon launcher anyway so I just leave the app store installed.

Just some advice, install Dock4Droid and you can launch apps from anywhere. You can set your favorite apps to always appear on the dock. With Dock4Drid there is no reason to go to the launcher to open any apps.

i posted like this. as i was going to add pics but cant due to post count. i will try wat you said and see if it works. if so i will come back with feed back. thanks
YES i installed the Amazon App Store apk, and it changed the layout what i was looking for. kudos

Zooper Widget Pro - No Longer available in Play Store

Hello,
Has anyone else encountered this? My Zooper Widget Pro wasn't working (not updating time on home screen) so thought I'd uninstall it and add it again but can't find it in the play store. Checked on my computer and getting "We're sorry, the requested URL was not found on this server." when searching for it in the Play Store.
Can anyone help?
Thanks
Desi

Zooper is dead, let it stay that way. Support from mycolorscreen is done. Move to KLWP, if you want support into the future.

If you must download it, get it from here.

It was probably removed from the market because of new standards. If the developer doesn't answer, or update to the new standards, Google will remove it, just like it did with my app, that I was no longer supporting.
