I have my Google/gmail account synced to my N10. Is there a way to view/edit my contacts? I, for the life of me, cannot find a way to see them, other than the fact an individual contact will appear when entering into a new gmail message. This tells me they are on the tablet, just out of sight, apparently.

Use the people app...I have it in AOKP rom
Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk HD
I'm also using aokp, but don't have the people app. Where might I find it? I even searched the Play Store for that before I posted this thread.
Things might be different for you, but when I pull down my toggle bar on the top right corner I can see my username as the first toggle. Clicking on it displays my google contacts and I can edit them as well. This is the case with both my stock 4.2.2 ROM and the AOKP version I use.

Strange. I have my user in there, but no contacts when I click it. I'll have to do some more digging.

What happens when you click on the username? For me, a new window opens with my username in there. As soon as I click on that window my contacts open.

Nothing. It closes the status bar.
You really should have the "people" app. That's the default display name for the icon in your apps list, but it actually loads up an apk called "contacts".
If you don't have this, there could be something wrong with the way GApps are installed on your device. Which GApps package did you install?

I chose through aroma on Mr Robinson's AOKP. Very possible that I missed it. I'll dirty flash tonight.
Edit: I just dirty flashed and made certain that I chose the contacts app in aroma installer. I still do not have the people app. Thinking about a clean flash because it's annoying me.
I've heard of some problems with that new aroma installer. I'm running the same rom, but manually installed all cause I'm still afraid of the installer! No probs here so far, & I run nitro's inverted app package from Eclipse which is still - 2012 something. I just let Play Store update whatever's needed after install or batch restore with TiBu. But that installer I'd bet is the culprit. I think!

Re: Contacts SOLVED
OK. I'm an idiot. If any of you have this problem in the future, I have a fool proof way to fix it:
1. Go into your app drawer and open TiB
2. Scroll through the list until you find the Contacts app.
3. Defrost it, because somewhere along the way it got frozen.
4. Profit.
Thanks to all who tried to help, but you all were wrong and I figured this out all on my own. (Insert sarcasm here).

Thanks for this. I much prefer the stock MMS app. Additionally, I've tested the Calendar app on DAGr8's ICS alpha 2 and it works great and includes the stock widget.
Are you able to receive MMS messages with the stock MMS.apk frozen? I have not been able to. They just fail to download.

Yep. Wasn't sure what freezing in Titanium Backup was so I tried my own thing. All I did was install it from the Play Market. Then in Titanium Backup under "Backup/Restore" I long pressed on "[SMS/MMS PREFS] Messaging 4.0.3-144" (see first attached image) then clicked "Open system details...". In there I disabled Messaging (see second attached image).
Just tested MMS and was able to receive a picture text from my fiance (see third attached image for success!) Hopefully this helps.

Apparently, there's some bug where it won't receive MMS from iPhones. This would be a problem for me since my wife has an iPhone 4. It would also explain why I thought I want getting them at all since she was the one I kept asking to send me test messages.

Sorry about that. I'm new to TiBu so I figured I'd err on the side of caution and be thorough with what I did (plus I had no idea if that was how to freeze an app and there was no mention of freezing in TiBu itself). I meant no disrespect, friend

Hello,
I was wondering if I could replace Samsung's messaging app with Google's SMS/MMS app or just install Google's. I really prefere Google's one but for some reason I want to keep a Samsung-based ROM (not for Touchwiz launcher, but some apps like the Camera with no shutter lag, S-Memo which I use with my C-Pen,...)
Yes you can, but you need first remove the stock messaging app

How can I replace it with Google's SMS/MMS app ? Where can I download it and will it work with my Touchwiz-based ROM ?
You can pull the apk out of CM10 build.. Push it in system/app after renaming.. But keep in mind your smses will not be threaded..

Try this.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/....com.android.mms&feature=search_result#?t=W10.
I was going to use it myself but decided to stick with handcent which i've been using since GBread.
I expect you can do with this app what i done with handcent, - go into stock app - setting disable notifications, go to app manager the disable the stock message app - setup notifications on new message app and you should be good to go.
The dev also got the google calender etc too.
Hope this helps and works - let us know :good:

I extracted my MMS apk from my cm10 ROM, download it: http://db.tt/kCXioNLo
then use root explorer to copy it to system/app folder.
Then you set the right permissions (all of the first row checked and first of second row only, if in doubt check on the other apps permissions and set the same)
And the look for Semms.apk (or something like this), backup and delete it

I'm currently on the Sprint S3, and I flashed your package. All went well, but when I tried to send a picture message, it force closed the app. When I tried to re-open the thread, it just force closes.
Btw, is there any way to get the little message icon in the lockscreen for this replacement? I miss being able to slide outward on that message icon to be presented with the latest thread.
Hi, I'm not really sure what to do about this screen. I started getting a notification that seems to come from the official app (I long tapped, and checked the notification info), but this "update" apparently needs to be side loaded onto the system instead of installed through the Play Store. Has anyone else gotten this update prompt? I'm not sure what to do here.

i just got that just right now, its very weird...facebook getting hacked???
Now I'm getting a suspicious looking sign in error that is prompting me to sign in with my Google account. Something is definitely spamming me.
i found this on search supposedly explaining it
Facebook pushes Android update to enable silent updates (bypassing the Play Store)
Facebook appears to be doing an end run around the Google by pushing an update to the social network’s open app to Android users today… and the update isn’t coming from the Google Play Store. The Facebook app on your phone downloads the update automatically and then beeps or vibrates incessantly until you install it (or uninstall the app altogether).
So what does the new version of Facebook for Android do?
According to Facebook it lets you change your profile picture using the mobile app, allows you to hide stories and report spam, and start group messages more quickly.
But there’s one other thing the new app does: It allows itself to download future updates without alerting you.
If you look at the permissions required by the app, there’s a new one that says “download files without notification.”
This effectively lets the Facebook app for Android automatically update itself without going through the Google Play Store. It’s not clear exactly why Facebook is taking this step. But once you’re prompted to download the new version of the mobile app the only alternatives appear to be to put up with annoying notifications or remove the Facebook app from your Android device.

CM's MMS.apk needs to be modified to work with each device's Telephony code, so unless it is pulled from another device that pretty exactly mirrors the LG G2 code, it won't work.

Holy moley. Never knew about 8SMS. All I ever ask for in any SMS program is a Mark As Read from the notification drop down. This is perfect.
This works on the vzw version, although the names are a bit different... LGUSMms.bak and .odex This is great, I hated how little of the conversation you could see with the stock app.

Hi All,
I have a Tmobile Note 8 with the stock rom and installed all updates. When I search in the App Drawer for "F" the Finder App crashes. It seems Facebook is the cause of this issue. Immediately when I uninstall it, i'm able to pull up results that contain F. Searching for other characters that is contained in Facebook also crashes the app.
Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this issue. This also occurs on my Wife's Note 8.
The Facebook version I have installed is from the Play Store version 157.0.0.38.97. The Finder App version is 7.1.19. Android Version is at 7.1.1.

Thanks for confirming. I also sent the issue to Samsung. Hopefully Facebook/Samsung fixes it soon. I have a few apps beginning with F and looking for it with 50+ apps installed is frustrating.
I have the same problem, when I to disabled Facebook, it goes to the factory version k and the f search works again, but once I re-enable Facebook and try to use it , it ask to update if you want to use the app, which I did and again the problem is back !!!! buy the way it is the same with the K searsh which is resolved at the same time that I disable Facebook. I thought at the beginning that the problem was from Kik app.
Anybody had news from Facebook/Samsung regarding this issue ?

I think it happens with any thing the brings up facebook on the first list of apps. Seems like it has something to do with the Facebook icon.
If you for example use A and then on the application section hit view more as soon as you hit where Facebook would be it crashes.
