Just use TitaniumBackup to remove any apps you don't like.
Yea I just like to use it for my contacts tb for some reason don't like to save all my contact info like the phone numbers

Call me an idiot...but I thought Google sync was obsolete with android, considering most of the devices are powered by Google! ....am I wrong....be nice !!
I will reiterate - Titanium Backup works great for restoring, in my case programs with data like Timeriffic.

You are wrong. Google sync is an android feature. It's one of the benefits to logging in with your gmail account when you setup a new ROM.

I've never been able to get Titanium Backup to backup and restore contacts...
You could just export your contacts to your SD card then import them back after you flash a new ROM. While in people, hit menu then export.
I am having a force close issue when trying to add a new contact. Also can't goto "My Profile" in contacts menu. ANDROID.PROCESS.ACORE stopped unexpectedly. I love the ROM just reporting a bug. I can't post in developer forum yet if someone would be so kind to pass the word and let me know if you are having same issues. Thanks

If you ask in ROM thread then you might get some more answers.
Try fixing permissions from ROM manager.

are you running the ICS google+ or google music? That has a known issue with FC's when modifying or creating contacts

Posted this over in the thread for ya.
Also saw this response from gtg to a previous posters question which may or may not pertain to your issue...
gtg465x said:
Nothing in the update has anything to do with the contacts app though. And I updated to v1.0.3 using the update zip just like you did and no problems with my contacts app. Did you freeze or remove some apps with Titanium Backup? That can do it if you remove the wrong thing. There are a lot of things that can do it. Check your recently installed apps as well.

Turns out it is Facebook. I do not sync my contacts however if I delete my Facebook account from accounts and sync I can save a new contact. Then of course I can't log back into Facebook without it trying to sync contact again!

I sync my Facebook contacts and still don't have a problem. You using the Samsung Facebook sync or the actual app?
I was using the facebook app. After adding my Facebook account thru socialhub everything works. Must be facebooks problem?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using XDA App
This is probably my problem then. I am running ICS G+. Adding my Facebook account to socialhub fixes the problem though.

Hello forum-mates:
I use the stock ICS email app which has exchange server and it syncs and emails are in but when I click on email there is no body for the email and all you see is the subject and sender with a blank white screen below.
I have flashed the same ROM three times with issue.
EDIT: also replaced the EMAIL.apk and Exchange.apk with stock one and no change.
Any cure?
Working fine for me, have setup 2 Exchange Accounts and 3 IMAP Accounts and all are working 100%, quite chuffed with it actually as the stock email client for GB was a pile of useless crap, the one on ICS is great.
Working well here. Two echange accounts working.
In fact it's too good, as it's picking up the server requesting permissions for wiping the phone etc.. I think that's Exchange 2010+.
Just let them try
Thanks guys,
On Gingerbread I had setup Google apps email with no problem on email app (not gmail app) and it was working flawlessly, but now it doesn't as I see for a second a flicker of something to be there but disappear.
I did set it up on gmail account, but I was wishing for regular email app.
Exactly same problem here. The strange part is that it happens with only one of my two google accounts. Have tried deleting data, cache and mail accounts but no luck.
Help please!

Mine is perfectly OK... if it is OK with us and not with yours, then one of us is either lucky or doing something wrong... try to reconfigure again...
Just only one "unlucky" thing, is there any widget for the stock email?
Sent from my LT26i using Tapatalk 2
I have tried to put account 10 time. I have re-flashed the whole ROM 3 times. I have replaced the email and exchange app files with stock android and no luck. There should be something wrong.
Maybe this problem is only when you try to add the google apps account to regular email app?
My Google email account is also sync with stock email app, and together with my corporate email and two yahoo email accounts, they are working normally...
Not sure if adding another account of gmail would bring that problem of yours...

I son't want to steal this thread, but this i s very interesting. Since I use Android ()from 1.5 times till now) I've always used gmail app for well gmail But it has it's issues, like inability to send notification to third party aps and so on.
Can you please tell me how is your experience with using gmail in mail app? Did you try gmail app?
If someone here is using mail app with gmail account I'd also like to hear your opinions on this. Let's face it, Sony's mail app with two pane view and other improvements seems way better than gmail even from ics
Thank you in advance
Any luck Nimche? Have tried the Deutch ROM but still the same problem.

NO,
and I gave up waiting for CM9 release whenever, hopefully soon and maybe that fixes the issue.
For time being, I have added all my Google apps account to Gmail account which works OK, actually they work just right.
Are you adding Google Apps too?
Thanks for the answer, hope I can do that soon cause I got a locked bootloader.
Sent from my LT26i using xda premium
I don't think you are required to have unlocked bootloader to achieve this.
I meant the CM9 part not the gmail one. I got my accounts on gmail app too but I do like that the core mail shows notifications in the lockscreen.

I don't like it either but for time being is OK, Now with seeing Jelly Beans and more exciting feature, that is what I want I am about to buy a Nexus Galaxy and take Sony hardware out and put that phone's chip in there
Actually, I'm using my gmail account for purchasing of Apps only... and I always received notification (like yesterday, when I purchased "MyBackUp Pro")... this morning, I sent an email to my gmail account using my corporate and yahoo acounts (through Xperia S stock email)... just received and replied... and all of them are working normally...

Has anyone figure this out yet? I hate to use the Gmail app for regular email. This seems to be more like Sony's app issue.

get the semcemail.apk from xperia T files,
1. use root explorer or rom toolbox or any file manager with root access, delete the original semcemail.apk or rename it to semcemail.apk.bak (location /system/app)
2. copy and paste the xperia t semcemail.apk to /system/app.
3. change permission to rw-r--r--.
4. go to settings then look for email app then clear data.
5. open your email app then log again your data,
6. now you can choose the widget on homescreen.
look @ development section or general section, there's a thread for the xperia T files.
here:

Just wanted to finally answer my own question. This is what I did and it worked.
Delete data on email app.
In Titanium backup, remove Email app and Exchange app
Restart
Go to this thread and download two files HERE
Change name (get rid of Google)
Move files to Memory
Move files to System folder
Change permission to RW-R-R
Move files to System/apps
Restart
and email app should fully function.
After upgrading to 4.0 all programs except stock contacts and text no longer show Facebook profile pictures. I use GoContacts, Handcent sms and Gmail. None of these display to contact pictures for Facebook contacts. The contact pictures is blank. I have contacted all the companies and they all blame Facebook. Any ideas?

it is facebook. they locked down that part of there API. you have 2 options to get them back:
1. buy Haxsync from the market place. Its only $.99 and it works great.
2. download an app called Photo Unlocker, it was developed by ChainsDD. It is no longer in the market so you will need to search Google for it. For this to work you need to make sure your contacts are synced already with Facebook fully, run the app, it will ask for root. then it will show if the data base is busy or not. some times you will need to click unlock a bunch of times for it to work.
Loaded Haxsync. The only program that sees it is contacts. Does not work with third party programs. Handsent, go contacts and gmail.

i use handsent and go contacts and the both see them on mine. try going to:
system > app > find the 2 apps and clear cache from them.
I just installed Callapp the new social dialing app that is supposed to work great with face book. It doesn't show Facebook contact photos either. This all started the second I upgraded to ICS.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
I've just downloaded HaxSync and I'm sync'ing now. I'm using a beta version of Contacts+ for my address book. We're about to find out if my contact photos import from Facebook like they used to before the API change. If this works, I'll be reporting back on my beta results.
And the verdict is...
IT WORKS (for about 90% of my Facebook contacts that had missing photos)!! Thanks for the tip!
It took a day, but the HaxSync did work. Had to rename a few contacts to the same as in Facebook. Working good with Go Contacts and Handcent.
Thanks!

Hello,
How to FULLY delete (only from Mobile) those 1000s of email contacts which were synced earlier in my S2 (JB 4.1.2 Neatrom) from Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail etc.
I have totally disabled automatic 'Sync' on all accounts added, and I only need to manually sync for new emails only. I can manage to 'display' contacts with a number only, but when I run a 'search' it brings up all email contacts again ffrom the db.
I simply don't want any email contacts but phone contacts in my phone.
Tried couple of tools which helped purge duplicates, but not email contacts itself.

Is it a option to delete your account and add them again but only select "Sync Email"?
Clear data for your contacts app and the contacts storage from Application Manager.

Anything that is stored on your phones contact database will go, and Sim contacts which are stored on the sim card you will have to manually clean. Anything and everything else should go.

Yes I could, but you should really consider this 'whatever I need take a backup and restore only what I need', because excluding 3000+ email contacts from the required 500 contacts in a mixed contacts pool is HARD JOB...I had'nt find any tool to isolate them, all threads recommend 'SELECT' only what u need and export....do you find it easy to select one after one among the junk/needed contacts...NOooooooooo :cyclops:
Anyway I fixed it :good:
