[Q] Slim ics and importing contact list - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I recently flashed to slim ics 2.8 and love it. Except the dialer , which sucks. Then today I went to text someone and realized they were no longer on my contact list. Then I realize a lot of people are missing. thankfully I exported my list before the flag. No biggie just import it back. After hoursi can't find an import option in the new slim Ics dialer. Should I look for another dialer ?
Does slim ics have a import contact option?
Should I find a better dialer?
any recommendations at ?

Just sync with Google and you're good to go.
Sent from my ICS i897 Captivate

I'll keep that in mind for the future but it doesn't help me at the moment.

Dunno slim specifically, but the import/export option I've found in ics wasn't in the dialer app. its in "people" app.
Just open it up and hit menu:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Hope that helps, cause like i said, never ran slim.

well, it was there alright. I now have duplicates for everyone, but those missing are still missing. I don't understand why they are missing. ...... Any easy way to clear the dupes?
I don't know anything about this people app, is this what the contact list is based on in ics?

Possibilities of default contact manager

There are some basic things what I would like to do on the contact manager. One of these things is selecting multiple contacts when emailing. Now I have to add one contact each time, but is there the possibility/tweak to get selection option? Another thing I would like to do is filtering the contacts on category. I have filled in the category option on some contacts, but when I go to option filter, I get only the option 'all'.
Can anyone help me with this? And are there other usefull tweaks for the contact manager? Btw, I have tried many contact managers but everytime I go back to the default contact manager of windows mobile because of the simplicity. This is why I would like to tweak the default contact manager rather than installing another contact manager.

I believe there are some programs that aid with this, unfortunately, I have never used them. A quick search on Google reveals that some programs. For instance, here's one that showed up in a quick google search...Mobile Group Mail. Also, WM6.5 includes this feature, so if were to flash a 6.5 Rom, you would have it built in.

Otherwise you could try an application.

That is very odd, the categories should show up automatically as soon as you enter a category. How are you filling in the categories (outlook on PC/or phone)? Are you using a custom ROM?

Any way to limited "Share" list? jpg in gallery..

Whenever I want to share something in the Gallery, I'm often wanting to push it to Facebook and my stupid share list has grown so large I can't even see Facebook in the list anymore. Yes, Tweetdeck might could work, although it's great for quick views it's missing a lot of stuff the Facebook app itself has.

Anyone ever seen a way to limit this list, except removing apps? I don't use several of them often, and don't want to send a jpg into most of them, but I don't know of any way to change it.
I assume what shows here is all apps which can receive a jpg.. If I clear the Gallery settings, I believe this list shrinks for a while but before long the apps are all back in the list.
I have the same thing, although at least my Facebook is reachable. No idea what's even off the top of the screen lol

I removed a few apps and now I see Facebook, but.. Bleh... I think it must put them in the order they enumerate, I recall at one point thinking if I ran Facebook first or last, maybe it'd stay at the bottom of the list where I could reach it.
Might sort them top-down as most-used... Awesome

Blackout dialer for Twingerbread ROM

The attached file is blackout dialer for Twingerbread ROM. The update package should work on any version of the ROM. It may work with other ROMs too but i am not responsible if it doesnt and bricks your phone
Just flash is using CWM recovery over any existing version of twingerbread.

does it scale with various dpi's OP? other than that concern, it looks great!
The Contact square is all black and doesn't match
Sending, sending, sent.
It's true that the Contacts square doesn't match, but in that pic I have to say that that is one of the better Contact squares that I have seen.
I had an odd experience with dialers a few days ago. I'm sure there must be an explanation for all of it.
I downloaded a dialer that I thought looked pretty good in pics. This in an effort to gain a multi-DPI dialer. Once downloaded and installed, though, I couldn't stand to look at the dialer. In the Contacts square you could see the top of the letter C and maybe the t. I replaced it with Dialer One.
In Dialer One i would punch in that series of characters that is supposed to give you LbsTestMode. When I hit send, the old dialer that I did not like would immediately appear. No LbsTestMode, just that dialer.
I thought that to be strange.
I was so ready for 6.0.
(For some reason it happens here on XDA that I click on a thread, thinking that I am in a completely different forum. If this post doesn't seem to fit, it's because I though I was somewhere else. Seriously.)
Since I'm editing, I'll say that someone actually did a nice job with that gray line underneath the squares. Just my opinion.

Where are Cognition wallpapers located?

Hi is there a way to recover the stock cog 4.1.1 wallpaper without flashing again? (The blue diagonal wave) I'm not sure where the directory is located to assign it again. Its the nicest version so far imo. Help please.
Not positive but Titanium backup might have this available if you backup all user apps + system data. Obviously do not restore all user apps + system data. Instead uncheck everything and look for the wallpaper option.

I don't remember what Cog runs, but I'll throw in my two cents
Normally, wallpapers are found in Launcher.apk, but like I said, I'm not sure if Cog comes with Launcher.apk or if it uses TouchWiz. If it uses TouchWiz, I would assume it's in one of its APKs, though I can't tell you which one as I've always hated TouchWiz and now I don't have my phone to mess around with it (replaced by HTC Inspire all the way ~).
Try framework-res.apk in the the res/drawable-hdpi folder. Its called default_wallpaper. From the Atrix, I believe.

Lots of coniguration opportunities.
Hi,
do we actually need to load an app just to get smart dialer?
i have used Dialer One...but it is not so smart.
for eg, i may be searching for a friend's number, who is 91234
when i type 912, it doesn't list out all the names with number 912
but it list names with alphabets wxyz, abc, def.
meaning, it only search by name, not by number.
is there any app which can do both?
pretty weird that smart dialers are a standard feature in most smart phones.
thanks
jack

Yep, aContact and add-ons all the way for me. Tried all the others and this is by far the best and most complete solution.
