I was looking at reviews of the SIII and I see that Samsung included their own contacts app, separate from the Google contacts app. Is it possible to install the stock contacts app, or do you need to install an entirely different rom to get it back? The stock contacts app is one of my favorite parts of ICS.

Is there an easy way to merge contacts on the phone? For example, I have a couple hundred contacts I copied from my SIM card to the phone. Is there an easy way to link these to GMail contacts (they don't already exist in GMail) or do I have to manually create a new contact, and link them for each one?
Also, on another Vibrant of mine, I have the reverse problem. All of the contacts are GMail/Facebook linked, but not Phone. So I can't set custom ringtones for any of them. Is there an easy way to make them also on the phone so I can set ringtones?
Thanks!
I hated having to store existing contacts to phone just to set up custom ringtones, thankfully 2.2 fixes this. Also, theres an import/export option, if it saves the contacts to a .csv file than you can import those to gmail like that.
My advice..root and upgrade to JL4 2.2 stock firmware. everything works and battery life has been great for the past 4 or 5 days.
Good to hear. I wonder if this is an issue in all pre-2.2 android phones, or just samsung?
Nope it was not an issue on my g1. I think you could assign custom ringtones back in 1.5 using stock dialer...its just touchwiz as far as I know.

I am used with CM7 and the Stock Calendar from SG2 looks is not as useful as I was expecting.
Can I replace this stock Calendar ?.. I am really annoyed about the fact that I can not click on "Location" anymore, to open directly the Google Maps. Or maybe I don't know how to do this here....
Also, this calendar, it is not able to identify the phone numbers form Event Description as good as I need to be able to just click and to open the dialer !
So I just flashed CM7 to my phone. It's kinda awesome. Responsive as all get out, practically zero lag ever, all that good stuff. The only thing I'm having issues with is how the contacts app isn't as flexible with joining facebook contacts with Google contacts as the stock contacts app was, seeing as how a lot of my contacts are listed in one as their real name and the other as a nickname. Is it possible to have the stock contacts app instead of the AOSP one?
Hello,
I am looking for samsung calendar for my phone.
I want to move on to cm10.2 (official samsung's 4.3 sucks), but I really love the samsung's calendar.
Is there a way to install it on cm10.2 ?
I think that Its not possible to get the Touchwiz Samsung Calendar Widget under Cyanogenmod. But I can suggest you the Business Calendar from the Google play store, Its pretty good too.
I tried the business calendar, it only shows colors of events, samsug's shows 3 event names
with reference to Stock Touchwiz 4.4.2 rom on Note 3 - I'm trying to find a better interface for adding new contacts and have tried Contacts+ and exDialer. However, what i realize is that whenever I hit 'add new contact' in either app, it directs me to the default samsung add contact UI.
after i tried freezing the stock Contacts app using TB, both apps tell me 'there is no available app for this action' for adding new contacts.
any idea why and is there any alternative to this issue?
Thank you.
