There is an icon of the outline of a person. when i click it it says "application not installed". what application is that?

Its just the stock android contact app. Just replace the link with a link to the contact app on your phone.takes like three seconds.

Hold the contact icon and slide it there. Then it will ask what icon u want to use and done

Thanks for the response, I was wondering this too.

How do I remove the stock shortcuts that are at the bottom of the screen with Launcher Pro> i can easily add in others, for a total of 15, but I want to remove some of the ones that are pre-installed.

Just hold your finger down on them until the menu pops up. If you want fewer dock screens (5 or 10 icons instead of 15 as you scroll) you can change that in menu > preferences > dock settings > number of docks.

CM6 dialer

I'm wondering what is everyone using since the cm6 dialer doesn't search contacts as you type their name in T9 format. Or is there a setting I'm missing.

Dialer one off the market has all of those sense features

Yeah, I've tried it but it's slow and doesn't have any of the tabs on top like call log, contacts, favorites.
I'm not sure why the developer didn't choose to replace the default dialer with his and instead added a dialer. This creates a problem because after dialing and conversation is over the default dialer is shown.
I started this thread thinking the CM6 developer responsible for dialer app would take this as a request to the default dialer if anything.

Can we install the old sense dialer if we have the apk or will it not work since it isn't a sense rom?

I usually just hit the search button once I open the dialer to find the contact I'm looking for.
And as for returning to the dialer after a call, there is a setting in the preferences for this. There's also a setting in the main call settings for returning to the call log after a call.

It won't work: no sense apps will work on AOSP since there's not HTC framework.

turn off the "Display contacts photo" setting and that should take care of the slowness. it doesn't have tabs at the top, but you can swipe left and right on the list to change views.

Thanks, that helped with the speed I didn't know about the swiping either.
What about the buttons. Don't you guys find them to be too much against each other? I like the default dialer better. It "seems" like you are less likely to hot the wrong key.

D 801 dialer

Is there any way to set to default "favorites" in the dialer?

I don't understand what you're asking here. Can you please explain?

Ok When you tap the phone icon on the home screen it opens the dialer with the numbers on it. I want the favorites to open by default not the number pad. I hope that clears it up.

[Q] CyanogenMod 12 - How to save MMS pictures

I'm probably missing something dumb, because this seems like a basic thing, and I'm not finding it when searching on Google or XDA.
In CM 11, I could long press on a picture in the messaging application, and get an option to save or export to SD card/internal storage. On CM 12 messaging, I do not get any menu when long pressing.
When I click on a picture it opens in the gallery app, where I have an option to set as wallpaper or print, but still no option to save to SD/internal storage.
If MMS come in as a gallery, I can save those. But I can't figure it out for an individual image.

bump

I'm wondering the same thing to

I use hangouts app do you use the native messaging app or hangouts?
theres no option to share?
try clearing .nomedia files from wherever and recycle the media engine through a reboot.
do you use quickpic? as a gallery app? ,thats how I got rid of all my problems sometimes the stock gallery app doesnt see the new images.

When hangouts first started to allow SMS integration, I didn't like the way it handled it, but they have changed the interface quite a bit. It does let me download messages, so I'll try it for a bit.
With Quickpic and the CM Messaging App I still don't get an option to save the files. When I click on a picture, it lets me open it in quickpic or any other registered image viewer, but they don't have download options, just 'set as. for wallpaper.'
Ideally I like the CM messaging app, and would like to use it. But too many family members can't be convinced to email me pictures at a higher quality, and instead want to send via MMS.

bump again.
I've been using hangouts, but I miss like the CM Messanger app better.

Thread necro because is three months later, and I still have to switch to hangouts in order to save the pictures people send via MMS.

Same problem for me. I don't think there's a way to do it, but if there is, I haven't found it. Been switching to Hangouts just to save as well, pain in the butt because CM is much better looking and smoother. Plus no resize issues without Xposed.

I just started taking screen shots as mms pics are low quality anyways, just a little hack you guys might want to try. Quicker than moving to hangouts.

Long press the text area of the picture message

I found the answer in a reddit thread > Can't save MMS pictures - CM12
"Long press in the text area of the photo. > three dots upper right hand corner. > save attachments. "
counterintuitive really.... but that's the way it seems to work
the attachment then appears in the usual "Download" folder

Thanx for that! Not exactly like that but I found it helpfull so: long press in the text area of the photo>three dots upper right hand corner>message details>tap on image>save.

All you need to do after tapping the three dots is tap save attachment. You are adding three extra steps doing it the way you say here.

Doesn't work for me. I long press on the text area of the photo, click the three dots, and my options are: Lock; Message Details; Select All. Any advice?
Like the OP, I can't convince my family members to email pictures. So I'd really like a working option for saving pictures in Messaging.
EDIT: This worked: Long press the area to the right or left of the picture>touch the 3 dots in the upper right hand corner ( not the menu button at the bottom, each has different options)>touch message details.

Thanks! This worked for me, also. I just use Messaging+ to save them, but like the default Messages more. Have been looking for days...
This is exactly how mined worked. Others didn't.

This post is kind of old but anyways I think this will be helpful for some people:
1. Keep pressed over the subject of the MMS and the options will appear.
2. Go to the options (three dots) and select "Message Details".
3. Select the picture you want to save.
4. Click "Save" and it will be saved into your "Downloads" folder.
You are welcome.

Starred contacts in DnD

On 5.1.7 with Google dialer but cannot selected managed favorites in DnD menu? Was working under 5.1.5 which is the last time I checked?
Anybody else

I don't understand. Are you saying that you can't manage your favorites contacts in DnD menu, or that you can't make DnD ring for your favorites contacts ?
In first case, I didn't seen such an option in 5.1.5/6/7
Second case : it's working ont 5.1.7, without any issue here.

Can't manage them in DnD, used to be able to on earlier version. Can of course add/remove in contacts but menu is meant to allow it

Oh. OK. I'm on 5.1.7, and I've this Manage favourite contacts menu working without issue.
In french, but the menu is here. And give me the possibility to remove a favourite, or add another.
