[Q] Changing Contacts App - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

Hello all,
I switched my Skyrocket from Embryo to PAC-man yesterday and am enjoying the hell out of it. However, I find myself less than pleased with the Contacts application included in it. My primary issue is that I can't merge contacts, but I have a few other problems with it.
I was wondering if anyone could help me with the process behind replacing the Contacts in PAC-man with the Contacts from Embryo, or if there are any suggestions for a different app altogether. I tried searching the forums and couldn't find any particularly helpful posts, and Contacts+ from the Play Store is a nightmare.
-DF

There is no way to do an app switch from embryo to PAC let me make that perfectly clear.

Also why do you need to merge contacts why wasn't that done long ago.

Also you can merge.

Huh! Would you look at that. Been to that menu several times now and for some reason couldn't see it. Thank you!
Also, just out of curiosity, why is it not possible to switch?

Embryo is touchwiz-based rom and the contacts app depends critically on touchwiz framework. PAC is AOSP based and does not have touchwiz framework.

I see. I didn't know the two were so interdependent. Thank you both for your time, I appreciate the help!

How to add SMS Quick reply to stock

I'm on stock roots and unlocked and ever since I saw quick reply on an iPhone I have always wanted it, but I never found anything about it for any of my phones until now. I just saw it become avaliable on CM10 but I am holding off on flashing for a bit until I find the ROM that perfectly suits me. Anyway, is there any way to enable quick reply on stock? Is there a zip I can flash to enable quick reply? I would rather have that than have an app that does it, but if there are apps that do that then please post the names. Thanks in advance!

i can confirm drive link works on vzw sg3. installed from samsungapps and work fine.
I think this is the worst "driving mode" app I have ever had the displeasure of using. First of all, it is FAR from intuitive, making you sift through several menus before reaching the shortcuts you want, instead of having the main screen. Plus, they put ones there that are dumb and you can't remove. Instead, they fill up the main screen with weather which, since I have eyes, I can look outside my car and see. Secondly, it is locked into landscape mode, which is horrible since for navigation, you want it in portrait, so you can see more of the road ahead not to the sides. Thirdly, it acts as a normal app, in that when you press home, it goes back to the homescreen. You have to rely on the onscreen horribly placed buttons. If you want a decent one, get Google Car Home. It would be easier to just use my phone normally than use this.

There's gmail the service and gmail the app, you didn't specify
You might want to remove and re-add your Google account in settings. Have you been "dirty flashing" when moving between AOKP and CM10? Also, what version of gapps are you running?

You might want to go into your gmail account settings and make sure that your IMAP settings are right as well. If Auto-Expunge is off it might do something similar

I have this same issue intermittently. I found d that if I deleted them b4 marking them as read (and sometimes even if I did mark them as read) then they would come back. I fix it by going into the Gmail app, selecting the search option, typing in "in:unread" (minus the quotes) and hit search. It will do its thing and come back with all the unread emails. From there, select them, mark them as read, and delete them again. Hopefully this will work for you as it has for me.

I would doublecheck and make sure that you don't have it sent to archive versus delete

No problem man. Glad ya got it sorted out. That exact problem had me racking my brain for a week or so. Happy I could keep you from torturing yourself over it for the next few days. Just be sure to remember that search phrase because, chances are, you'll need it again sometime.

MultiWindow from SGS3 Intl JB leak

I'm posting this in q&a cause I dunno is this is really dev worthy.
I ran the latest leak for the international SGSIII, and found two things of interest.
1. /system/app/FlashBarService.apk
2. /system/framework/multiwindow.jar
From the screenshots I've seen of this rom in action on the appropriate device, FlashBarService is the little Grey bar on the side of the screen that let's you choose what to open in MultiWindow (could be wrong though). Obviously the multiwindow.jar is the framework file for running multiwindow.
I ran FlashBarService.apk through apktool and saw the manifest didn't require anything from framework-res but needed the multiwindow jar to run.
I pushed the two files to my d2vzw in the appropriate places, set the permissions and ownership. Rebooted, and got nothing to show for it.
The FlashBarService.apk also seems to need the minimode.jar as well. Also, from the screenshots I saw, multiwindow has to be turned on in settings under display. So that's part of the puzzle too. I didn't have time to try and push the minimode.jar from the intl leak to my device cause I really really need to go to bed.
Any other thoughts on getting some quick and dirty multiwindow action?
I know this is by far the least elegant approach any wunderdev has seen, but it was late and I got inspired to try something silly.
Ta,
ALQI

I have been diligently searching for a functioning port of multi window to our i535's since the note 2 came out and from what everyone in the i9300/i9305 forums is saying multi window is deeply embedded in the framework of touchwiz and from what I've seen no one has successfully ported it the only reason they have multi window working on there devices it due to the 4.1.2 touchwiz leak they got a couple of days ago but if someone can get this to successfully work on our devices I would definitely donate to them I want multi window sooo bad

Didn't think it was that hard of question seeing as a lot of people on here are developers and build there own ROMs.plus AOKP has been around for years so thought this would of been solved many times by now??Not sure about that app I know volume รท does ( bit hit and miss though)plus it really dulls the sound and any equalizer u try to use to even it back out including its own just makes the app stop and you lose the boost.I'll have a look at the app you mentioned and get back with an out come.Hopefully some developer can come up with some main volume hack like on Samsung stock ROMs.
