Is there a stand-alone Contacts app that has the same functionality of MotoBlur's Contacts app, as in pulling your SIM, Facebook, and Twitter contacts into one big contacts list? I love the functionality of the Contacts app from Motoblur and wanted to see if there is a non-Blur app that does the same thing.

Try this.
After syncing your contacts with Facebook and Gmail, export your contacts to SD card. Then go to that .VCF file to tap and then export contacts to your Gmail account. Merge those contacts by going to gmail on your PC.
I am using smoothCalendar on my homescreen, but is it possible to show up my facebook calendar there? In sense I can, because it implements facebook calendar as a calendar to my phone. But in CM, how do I do this? Anyone know an app to do that?

For birthdays im not sure because the last time I tried doing this facebook would not sync its birthdays with google calendar, only events. But for events and what not you can sync your facebook calendar through your gmail/google account online and then by syncing your google account to smooth calendar. That avoids having to use another app.
If you want to sync your fb birthdays calender with google calender . To work with Smooth Calander.. Use "ebobirthday" found in market..
I believe Gemini calendar will do this as well
Thanks folks. I found out that most easier way is; importing facebook birthday iCal URL to my google calendar. No need any extra application that way. Thanks @CallMeAria.
Sort like idea of get rid of application that way have more space.
Thanks CallMeAria.

I noticed that even though i have Facebook set to sync with existing contacts, it doesn't sync the profile pictures of people with the messaging app. it does show the pictures in Contacts, but not messaging or phone calls. Is there anyway i can do this without any apps from the market? i wanna keep the stock messaging app. Any help or advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Update on this, I've figured out how to sync my Facebook App with my contacts.
when i launch contacts it shows each persons Facebook Profile picture next to their name, however when I launch messaging or phone, I do not see these pictures, instead they are replaced with the default "No Picture" image
has anyone figured this out?
Rom: Mosaic V
I would ask in the Rom q&a thread as this should be the normal behavior if the snsprovider etc are incorporated into the Rom. Haven't messed with any of their new stuff but I would assume they have the correct apks included.
Delete all your accounts. Use the integrated Facebook thing in Accounts to sync your Facebook account to your phone. Then install Facebook and Twitter app.
Remember to clear Samsung Mobile in your Facebook App page, otherwise it won't work properly.

Has anyone been able to add their facebook account by going to settings-accounts-facebook?
I installed the facebook app off the market, but when i went under settings it didn't give me the option to sync friends to contacts like it did on my droid.
So went to accounts, add facebook, entered my email, and password, but it wouldn't sign in
Kept giving me a server error, then about every third time it gives an error that says that something is wrong with the device clock and to contact the administrator.
Tried uninstalling the app to see if it was causing problems, but no luck. Anyone been able to sync facebook friends with contacts (its
mainly to get contact pics off facebook)
Thanks
Edit: Finally got it to work. Only took over a week
When you install Facebook, under the "My Accounts" app, you'll see two entries for Facebook. One is actually for your Facebook app, and one is for Moto's "Social Networking" app. Using the Moto-branded version may offer you additional features.
I've noticed a couple places where you get shafted by Moto software for not using their built-ins. Like the Car Dock front page only links to the Moto Music Player... which has no music because I stream from Google Music.
I believe since OS 2.3 (Gingerbread), the facebook sync with accounts option has been removed from Android.
Easy method, download (free) SyncMyPix from the Market, it will sync facebook pics with matching accounts on your phone into your actual Google Contacts.
I run it once and don't let it do it automatically, just run it whenever I add new contacts.
The sync facebook accounts worked fine on my original droid, its running cyangenmod 7 2.3.3. Thats why it was driving me nuts, could just set the sync settings from the facebook app. Figured it was some moto thing, but didn't know if it was specific to my phone or not.
Thanks

Thanks for the SyncMyPix suggestion!
Looks like the facebook app has removed the settings for syncing contacts. Tried using the Verizon "MyAccounts" app but definitely a little screwy.
fb contacts synced with no problems for me. I used the "social networking" app in the app drawer and entered in my fb info. contacts now have either gmail or fb photo as their contact photo.
I used one of the two in the My Accounts app, contacts synced just fine.
I don't love that when you sync with face book your gallery becomes less about you, and turns into a fb gallery...wish you could turn only that feature off...

I am on a Nexus 6 with the latest Android 5 release. When I go to the contacts app and set to display only one specific group of contacts from my google account then the contacts app will only display those contacts. How ever the dialer app will completely ignore those settings and always display all contacts on any of my accounts.
In the past the contacts app and dialer app worked together. So when I told the contacts app to display only the group "work" then the contacts app as well as the dialer app would only display the conctacts within the group "work".
I tried deleting data from "contacts" app and "contacts storage" as well as the "dialer" app. I disabled syncing, re-synced, etc... dialer will always ignore the contacts app settings and since the dialer app doesn't have an option to hide contacts, there is no way I csn currently hide contacts with stock contacts/dialer app?
Thanks
