Hello...all my contacts came from my gmail so when I try to set a custom ringtone it shows no contacts. Is there a way to copy all my gmail Contacts to the phone? Or a 3 rd party apparently to set customized ringtones? Thx for the help!

Nobody knows?
When i play song in music player, i click "set as" caller ringtone, and it shows no contacts, even if I create one it seems as though I cant assign a ringtone for that particular contact, but it works fine if i set it as my ringtone (for everyone)
Are imported through Gmail contacts not the same as "fully-fledged", inputted into the phone contacts?
...I was about to load all of my numbers into my Gmail account's address-book, and sync. Now I'm not so sure that I want to. Partly for privacy reasons, I've kept segregated email and telephone—for years. Why make the leap now, if integration is not total...?
I've heard about an application called Google Sync. I wonder, would that be of any help?
Here is what I did. Sync contacts from gmail, in contacts hit menu and export to SD card. Copy file from internal to external SD. Hard reset to remove Google account. When resetting up your phone unchecked contact sync and them when in contact hit menu and import from SD

kind of weird and annoying why it isnt simple.
I found a way to copy them all to phone, so they show up. But when I assign them a ringtone, it doesnt work, despite a different song being chosen when i see them on contact.
Does song have to be less than 300k? i dont get an error or anything, just plays my default ringtone for all my contacts.
You can get around the 300k limit for songs. Simply create a folder on the root of your SD Card called 'ringtones' and copy the music files into there.
As for assigning custom tones to google contacts, RingDroid can do that.
Damn—you know, it's really cool that "there's an app for [everything]"—but some of these features really ought to've come standard in the OS... like, shuffling around icons on the dock, or, rearranging icons in a folder, or, placing folders within folders, or, allowing for %-indication of the battery in the status-bar.
Methinks tweakfreak users ought to be the first guys hired to field-test/QA these devices, and point out what's missing to the devs
Well ring droid worked great...many thanks!

If you have not rooted and you don't mind, can you please give me a list of stock apps? I'd like to unroot but I need to download the apps I deleted and can't remember all of the apps I deleted (really didn't delete a alot).
I'd be VERY appreciative if anyone has the time to do this. Thanks

You rock!!!! Thank you SO, SO much!!
****! That's a boatload of bloat!
F#ck you Verzion!
Of course Titanium will show a LOT more.
If you root and freeze do not freeze any of the other authenticators like picasa, yahoo, etc. even if you don't use the apps.
It will cause your contacts to force close upon opening.

Yahoo Authenticator is the only one that will mess up contacts.
Are there any apps that would potentially mess up your front facing camera?

Yes, sorry I just realized I should have probably given the disclaimer that I don't have titanium on yet and so I can't tell you what other junk may be on here, what I listed were just the apps that are visible in the app tab, hope that didn't mess anyone up
UGH - I had deleted Guided Tours and News. Any ideas for putting these back on my phone in case I should ever have to return my Bionic?
Just a suggestion if you are rooted and are removing some of that bloatware, don't delete it. Use something like Root Explorer to rename the .apk file to something like .apk.old. This way you can easily recover it. Root Explorer also gives you the ability to change the system\app directory from read only to read/write so that you can rename them.
I have also heard of people taking the .apk renamed fike and moving it to the sdcard to free up space.

SNS and SNSAccount are used to sync/backup/restore/fetch your contacts (and calendar) from your SNS accounts (e.g. google).
Do not freeze them if some of your contacts are saved to your google account, or if you use another SNS app (facebook, twitter, google, samsung, viber, whatsapp, etc)). The same goes for Google Contacts Sync and Google Calendar Sync.
Also, I wouldn't freeze DRM. Judging by its name, it's used to authorize applications that use DRM.
Lastly, this doesn't belong here. It's not even Ace related.

Thanks.
I guess you are right you can put this everywhere. :S But yea I do this on my ace phone that is why it is here I mean why not many people only search their phone and don't look at general things.
My wife has a Atrix HD, when she logged into FB she synced her contacts and now she has a lot of people in her people folder (contacts). When I try to delete them it says that it can only hide those contacts because it is a read only file. How do I change it to delete these contacts permanently and not just hide them.
Thanks
they're her facebook contants, the phone does that for any app that it detects contacts from (email, skype) if you don't want them there, just hide them, nothing else i know of to do
So I have this app idea (don't we all), I have been programming apps for around two years so im not a beginner, but this is my biggest project to date. I want app to allow users to login using Facebook, it allows them to post a few words to this wall in the app. It allows your Facebook freinds to view these words and they can heart it within the app. This then sends you a notification etc. I know I will need to store data to a external database. What do I store it under, their facebook profile name which I can get from when they login? Would this allow me to then get me all their freinds on Facebook and search through the database for data containing their freinds names to get their likes?
I just need a way to allow users to post, interact and share with all their other freinds of Facebook. Whilst storing data so if they logout and login on someone elses phone they load everything up that was on their phone.
Many Thanks
You will need to use something called Parse, here's a guide to setting it up with a service called Heroku, since Parse has shut down: robpercival.co.uk/parse-setup-on-heroku. Thanks
