Hi is there anyone here who knows is it posible to use htc sense contact management under MIUI? cause i want to use MIUI with the ability to link and merge contact such as sense feature

If only, no is the easy answer, you would need the sense frame work, but I'm sure that there must other third party applications with some of the functionality
This is one of the three reasons that I use sense, the quality of the contacts, calendar and phone apps

which are the other two?

I seem to remember you can use Go Contacts to merge duplicates. You can uninstall it and the changes will stay, too.

Just as i tought, i love how sense cleverly found similar contacts whether from PHONE, SIM or synced accounts and gives us option to link or merge em, i haven't found apps with such capability, it's annoying to see duplicates of contacts info,i wish dev of MIUI improve this someday. Cheers!

it's not just to merge duplicates of phone numbers, but the options to link synced account such as social network accounts, i use 3rd party app but it just still lack of it. cheers appreciate it though

Slightly off topic, but I use sense based ROM but remove Rosie and install Apex launcher instead for a more plain Android experience, means that you can't use sense widgets but all the quality applications are still there to use

I'm looking for a sense dialer app (or similar). Basically, one that will query contacts AND the call log as you dial. Do any exist?
don't think so. but you can search for NubDialer in the market - made by Wysie. Or you can also try the dialer one. it's something quite similar to sense dialer.

Dialer One doesn't query the call log or tell you the number you are calling (e.g., mobile, work, etc.). I just checked and NubDialer doesn't either.
Re: Sense dialer app (or similiar)
has anyone found an app to do this yet?

current version of dialer one does all these things.
Re: Sense dialer app (or similiar)
the search widget does this too. as you type it searches your contacts.

This isn't accurate. If I called 1234567890 a week ago, but it isn't in my phonebook, I cannot type 456 in DialerOne and have it retrieve that record. He has thrown in a new "group by call log" which will sort the query results by most frequently called, but that is it.

Right... but again - not looking for contacts... Looking for call log.
me too.
i tried "dailer one" and its not bad. it searches for contacts while you dial. but i dont like the ui.
i would prefer something more sense like...
does somebody know where to find it?
maybe if somebody could pull it from a sense rom?
EDIT: actually the ui of dialer one is far better if you set the the system wallpaper as background.
i think dialer one will become my phone app;-)

I'm working on making a theme to sense dialer, I will make a thread for it today
As all HTC apps need & use HTC's framework, none of them can be used on a normal Android ROM. The only way is installing a Sense ROM. But as people told you, Dialer One & NubDialer are the best dialers out there.
I wasn't entirely sure which forum to post this in, so went with general discussion.
Would any of you be able to recommend some decent phonebook/contacts apps for Android? I can't say I particularly like the 'People' app HTC offer, so I'm looking for some alternatives.
Hmm. Anyone?
I've tried the GoContacts app which is free and is quite user friendly. Most contact apps, if not all, use the HTC People app as a source for data and UI as far as I can see but I may be wrong.
GoContacts is the one I use. The Sense one is just awful.
Why don't you like the "people" htc app?
try using acontacts or dialer one...they have t9 search and stuff
Contacts GOWidget
I currently use the People app on my HTC phone. What do these apps do that People doesn't?

GoContacts is the one I use.

I tried GoContacts and I liked it, but the stock Contacts is the best for me.
I'd go with GoContacts or the Launcher Pro Plus Contacts Widget
Hi,
Looks like it is fixed for me now, sense 3.5
Method 1
Sign in to FriendStream widget with facebook, it will ask you to sync, choose sync with all contacts.
Will take some time to refresh all, after you get clear contact pictures.
If you cant sign in to FriendStream widget separately from facebook app, heres Method 2 that confirmed to work: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20392011&postcount=22 - thanks to the_scotsman
Hope this help and will work for some one else!
You sense 3.5 Rom? If so been looking for one and haven't had any luck. So I've reverted back to sense 3
P.s this should be in Q & A

What I've done:
Just sign in to FriendStream, and sync all contacts. (and press somewhere to force sync in settings or on some contact there is an option to update)
All photos in contacts now clear for me NOT blurred or stretched !!
Hope this help and will work for some one else!

What, I don't get what you are trying to say....it would be nice if you could elaborate?
Old news but congrats.. Basically he's saying that on order to get clearer contact photos you need to sync your phone with the friendstream app. The regular Facebook app syncs the photos with really low quality.

I think you need to go into Accounts & Sync in the phone settings and add specifically 'Facebook for HTC Sense,' then it should work.

Same here...
"Facebook for Sense" on Sense 3.5 ROMs is integrated with Facebook, which is why you'll only see Facebook in the sync menu. Maybe an early Sense 3.5 ROM had Facebook for Sense added, but its not needed.
All my contact images are sharp when I sync using the Facebook app. I don't use Friendstream at all.

Well your a lucky Scotsman then, mine are blurry as hell, I can't use sense 3.5 roms because when someone calls me it makes me want to throw up.
To add on my post, surely there must be a way to unseperate them?

Now I see that this thread is about useless...too bad.
Have you tryed to remove stock facebook app? NOT friendstream!
And signin in to friendstream after?
After signing in to it, sense will ask yo to sync facebook with contacts, you choose sync all. And this will update contact pictures, atleast it did this for me an other peaple here
Let us know ho you go there!

I tried this. Uninstalled Facebook app. But when I click on Facebook account in Friend Stream settings, nothign happens. There's no icon next to it either, so I think it needs facebook installed for it to work?
EDIT: Yep, I installed Facebook app again, and now I can sign into FB using Friend Stream.
I don't really want to start a war of the texting world. But what are your preferences for texting apps and why?
Hand cent, GO, etc.
Thanks all. Just want friendly discussion.

hate em all. only one I like is the stock android one. i do use handcent, but only for the emoji. if the stock sms app got an addon for that I would switch back in a heartbeat.

AOKP has a stock ICS SMS app that has Emoji. I love it.
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using XDA
Although it has a large footprint like Handcent, GoSMS is terrific for a lot of reasons. First, it has two plugin downloads for emoticons/Emojis. It comes with standard happy/sad/confused faces, but one plugin adds elaborate faces, symbols and icons (probably close to 300) and are much more detailed. The second plugin adds something like large vector art.
And some may be asking "how can my recipient get these things in their messages if they are not supported--or if one of these items turns the message into an MMS?
Well that's the most nifty thing about it. It had a service that is linked to the app which routes it around their servers and straight to your recipient as a data-based MMS. In other words, even if you cannot typically send MMS because your APN is wrong or whatever, this app makes sure your texts get through...essentially it's an SMS-over-IP service. Plus, your recipient does not need to have it installed.
Lastly GoSMS can be infinitely skinned. I am not sure what Handcent can do, but I use images for the background of my conversations list and my actual conversion (which can be customized for each recipient). It also scans all other apps for any fonts it can use, and offers them to be used as part of the UI..
Sent from my HTC One-S (rooted), stock ROM
I prefer GoSMS. I don't like the stock sms client and originally used Handcent until it started force closing all the time. If this had not start happening, I would probably still use handcent. GoSMS is highly customizable which I like.
I'm using the inverted AOSP Stuff out of this forum from he_stheone64. Because it's look very smart and clean for me and it's much easier to handle than this htc sense stuff..
thats my opinion why I had chosen them.

Would it somehow be possible to use HTC Contacts / Dialer app on other Roms like CM or AOKP? I like the app very much, but do not want to retain Sense just for the contacts app.
No chance mate, the app relies heavily on the sense frameworks which are closed source

It is possible to do smething similliar by "de-sense"ing a ROM, which means removing most of it's sense apps. However, since it is essentialy the same ROM, performance and behaviour will be the same.
Also, the People app had some dependencies, such as the dialer ("Phone") App. You can try removing the Sense launcher (Rosie) and installing an AOSP based one, but it will essentialy be the same ROM.
