I can't seem to figure out how to give a custom ringtone to certain contacts on JH7...can someone enlighten me and let me know how to do it?
Are the contacts on your sim or phone?

If they're saved to the phones memory you can do it. Other wise if You only have them saved on your Google account you can't do contact ringtones I figured this out just recently

That sounds stupid...so then is there a way to transfer it all quickly instead of doing it one at a time?
SIM manger has always worked on all my phones. Contacts/menu/more/SIM management.

Sorry there must be a simple way but i just cant find it, just shifted from an htc desire and i cant find a way to assign a ringtone to individual contacts.

You can only do it for contacts stored on the phone not google contacts sadly. You just long press a contact and then select edit and you can select ringtone.

I have contacts synced from an exchange server, guess same rule as google contacts apply.

It's a right pain in the arse... but if you want you can make a new contact on your phone or sim card using just the name!! add a ringtone, then edit, link contact, and link it to your exchange contact then it will work.. As I say a pain in the arse but the only way I found to give some of my gmail contact a ringtone!
I do not think that this is a froyo thing, ithis option was on htc desire before it was updated to 2.2, heck this ootion was on my winmo phones years ago.

is there a way to backup my manually joined contacts because most of my friends are in Puerto Rico and most of them use two last names like almost everybody in Puerto Rico and the point is that i do not save my contact with both last names in my outlook or gmail account and every time i flash a new ROM i have to manually edit almost all my contact and link them to their facebook accounts. is there an easy way to do it? i'm willing to pay for any app that does this thanks in advance.
i do have titanium backup but i really don't know if it's able to do that
Have you tried exporting to the sd card through the contact app?
Have you tried this method? Does it works for you?

I have, it works, another option is to sync your contacts with Google.

Sorry I guess you're right and I didn't realize that's your issue. I manually link them with FB.

For the life of me I can't get some of my contacts to sync to google, instead of just being phone contacts. Any idea how to do this? I'm trying to get the contacts of a 2.1 sense ROM to sync to google so they will appear on my AOSP 2.2 setup. Thanks in advance.
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
I haven't used 2.1 since before summer, so I'm rusty with it, but when you edit a contact, can't you change whether it's saved to the phone or Google account?
I haven't seen that option anywhere. Ive been using aosp but nanded back to see why I was missing contacts and didnt see that option...

I am in the same boat...haven't used 2.1 for quite awhile, but I know there is an option somewhere. Positive.
One other way, if you absolutely can't get them to switch doing it on your phone, add them online and delete them from the phone (the ones that are phone contacts). But I know the option is there to change them somewhere. Maybe I will flash back just to find out where
Give those contacts a email address, even if its a bogus one. They will sync once you do that, or at least they did on mine.

Can someone copy the Att address book apk and post it? I uninstalled with ti backup and did not back it up. Now my contacts wont work.

Are you getting the AAB Initializing... when going into contacts? That's what I'm getting
Sent from my LG-P925 using XDA App
lol! Okay, first why would you uninstall the contact app that the other contact apps are going to be based off?
Second if someone can tell me how to find and share the apk file, I'll be more than happy to. I have the myappsharer app and that seems to be the one app that it won't let me share.
I think this is the APP that your looking for, let me know if it's not.

BETTER CONTACTS APP!!!
search market for "contapps" has a logo of a penguin...
i love this contact app and when you go to manage a contact it doesnt divert you to the installed contact app manager!!!
hey chrismcgraw... could you do me a favor and make a backup and post a copy of the "get 3d games" app link.. i heard it gives you 7 free games and i already deleted it cause i thaought it was bloatware... lol
thanks
Thanks
Thanks for the file...its the correct one, with the correct name, despite getting it in the right place, something is still missing. I tried an alternate Contacts.apk to no avail either.
Maybe if someone can post a list of the files found in /system/app I can pin-point what's missing...isn't there an odex file that goes with it?
I installed go contacts from the market and now my contacts show up in there so I'm back in business yeah buddy

I was going to say the same thing as you dude. LOL!
i do the same thing and regretting...Here's an idea:backup the contacts apk&odex in p920 by using system app remover to restore the backup in p925?
Has anyone been able to get the AT&T Address Book re-installed? I've tried both of the .apk files that were in this thread but no dice. "Application failed to install." Currently using a replacement contact app but that isn't really ideal. Any ideas?
System apps are always hard to reinstall on official rom...I called AT&T and they helped me with 2 hours and no result...the only thing we can do is waiting for the new rom or return it(if you buy it within 30 days and this is what i want to do)
This is how you do, install root explorer , copy the At&t....apk to system, (app) folder then restart.

I tried, but this way doesn't work. SAR has busybox, maybe it's a chance...
Anyone have this issue or know how to fix it. When I try to open up contacts it will send me back to the home screen and says "aab initializing" Never seen this before in any android so I'm kinda lost. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Nevermind got it. It was caused by freezing the att apps.

Which AT&T app did you need to unfreeze to get contacts to work again?
I'm betting it was contact sync. I used to close that service all the time cause I didn't care if my contacts were being backed up by ATT. Turns out it was controlling my entire contact app.
Yeah it was the contact sync, if I remember correctly. Been so long since I was on the stock rom can't say for sure.
