You can use gmail sync in your settings to put your contacts in your phonebook.

That's the best option right there. Assuming you have been keeping your gmail contact list nice and clean.

I'm having the problem with Google contacts too. If I add a new picture to my google account it will sync right too my phone but the ones I added before using Odin one click will not sync. Is there a way to force the pics to sync?
I tried to change some info on a contact thinking that might force a sync. The info updated but not the pic.

Are you talking about disabling PWA syncing via the Accounts menu in Settings?

Contacts in AOKP

I have a lot of contacts synced with gmail, but most of them are emails and i don't need them in my phones contacts. How do i delete multiple contacts at once?

Don't remember if you can do a batch select (I've only done it once and for the same reason) but you need to log in to gmail from a computer and edit the contracts from there. Also I believe in contacts settings you can set it to show only contacts with phone numbers.

Like eb says using a computer you can edit the contacts. What I would do is setup groups and only sync the various groups with phone numbers.
Thanks guys, but i tried something else. I installed go contacts ex and then did a batch delete of all the contacts i don't want

Wait, couldn't you just have go into options on your phone and choose to hide e-mails?

Don't have that option. And i have one more problem. How do i sync all my Facebook contacts. When i was on gb and installed Facebook, the first screen would all if i wanted to sync all my contacts, sync with existing contracts, or don't sync at all. But now i don't see and can't find that screen

This works well for syncing fb contacts. You can choose all contacts or existing in the settings https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ro.weednet.contactssync

Open app drawer select People, then menu contacts to display, customize. Select your facebook account and it will show a box for all contacts if that isnt checked then it is only syncing with existing contacts. If you select your gmail account you will have the option to sync all the groups individually.
It says no contacts. There's no way to get to that screen on the Facebook app that asks how youwant to sync the contracts?

Clear all data log out and uninstall the app. Reboot your phone re-install the app. If that doesnt bring the option up then its go forever.
Maybe?

Found this. I haven't tried it since I'm at work doing a 24 hr shift. Figured I would let people know what I found. I plan to give a try after I get some sleep. If anyone gives it a go could you please let us know how it goes?

Per app sync scheduler

Trying desperately to find an app that will let me control when each app can sync it's data in Internet. For example, I took some photos and Dropbox photos autosync is enabled in the Dropbox app itself but I want it to sync these photos only at 6pm using Mobile data.
I want to be able to control each app's sync activity or make a profile for scheduled time X - at this time only Gmail, yahoo will be able to sync data (even on wifi).
Thank you for helping.
P. S.
I use now my tablet with mobile data plan and tethering my nexus 5 (nexus sits on wifi state and start to upload photos that I took to Dropbox - I want to be able to disable this sync and other from 8:00 - 16:00 for example). I don't want to disable every app sync every morning.

Tasker + Synker. Some combo of that should do the trick.
Can you be more specific please?

Paraphrased from Why You Get One-Word Answers:
"If they give you one word, search that word. The information is out there already probably many times over...Start with searching xda...
Next search google..."
Before asking to be more specific, I checked the tasker and synker but still, was not satisfied about the results.
