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.
Ever since flashing JM6, I've had problems with the Messaging app. After syncing Facebook contacts, using either adding a regular account un Settings->Accounts & Sync->Add Account or using the official Facebook app, all contacts properly sync with the photos.
I can confirm this in the Phone/Dialer/Contacts app and all my contacts are properly synced with photos. However, in the Messaging app, all icons are blank/have the head icon.
Anyone else have this issue/know a fix?
Bump.
Update:
I installed Handcent SMS and it displays the contact pictures properly, synced from Facebook. I don't know what's wrong with my Messaging app. Still the same in Roto-JME.
I tried clearing the cache for the Messaging app but it only cleared the changes I made to the settings. Anyone?
i use syncmypix from the market to see my facebook contacs.

Thanks, I've previously used syncmypix on my first Android phone, however this isn't what I want. There's obviously a problem because it used to work now it doesn't.
I don't want to install another app just to download contact photos, the Facebook app already does it for me. Handcent SMS displays them correctly, and besides, I want the photos to be on a separate contact profile -- "Facebook", I don't want them merged to my Gmail as they constantly change anyway.
The only problem is that the Messaging app doesn't display them anymore, ever since flashing JM6 and still doesn't after flashing Roto-JME.
Did you merge your google contacts with your facebook ones? Usually it will choose the facebook pic by default over the google one but sometimes it will not and you need to edit the contact and tell it to make the facebook part of the contact the primary one. Then it will always choose the FB contact pic and even update as your FB contact changes their profile pic. This is for JM6 for mee too.

Thanks for the reply.
By merge do you mean "sync with existing contacts"? Yes if that.
I tried what you said, even setting the Facebook profile as default over the Google one leads to nothing. Still no pic. It's weird because the contacts/phone/dialer has the pictures correctly, and so does Handcent, but not the default Messaging app.
Even the default Messaging app does not having pictures for Google contacts with pictures. Everything is blank.
Bump. Anyone?
did you fin the solution for this?
EDIT : I tried syncmypix, I think it works for me. except the colorize widget has problems with Messaging. Its showing Gray and White
Is there any good app for android to delete duplicate contacts?
Sync your contacts with Gmail and then use Gmail Contacts feature to remove / merge duplicates.

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 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
