Google Contacts on Note 7

[adkhkr]

Does anyone use the new Google contacts on the note 7?

Not sure what you mean.

I finally moved all of my contacts (237) to my gmail account so i could stop using the verizon cloud. The gmail is a good way of doing it and allows me to not only set ringtones for contacts but also message tones for contacts, which is helpful.

There is a Google Contact app available....

I just saw an article for Google Contacts earlier this morning, but when I found it in the Google Play store, it says "not compatible with your device". I think there is an .apk out there someplace, but I didn't bother trying it.

I am, however, interested in learning if this app is an option since I am very upset that TouchWiz forces me to use my mobile number instead of my Google Voice number when clicking on the envelope icon in the contact details.

Yeah... I saw that article...wondering if anyone installed the apk

No one tried it?

It's just the stock contacts app that is found on nexus devices. Nothing really special about it. I prefer Samsung's for this devicd. More settings and integration. I don't think the Google stock app can be integrated in the dialer.

Thanks Scorp.

I am using it with the google dialer and I prefer it over stock. I like that I can display my personal contacts only, exchange contacts only or both combined. I also prefer googles dialer because the samsung one put the buttons right where my fingers rest and I constantly put people on hold when I move the phone enough for the screen to turn back on.

Where did you find it? Link please? Don't see in the store. Thanks.

Theres a "patched Samung" version I found through xda. I have a copy on my phone if you want me to email it to you. The only thing that doesnt work is in the settings>call. If you try and edit that section it will crash.

Sorry it wasnt on xda where I got it but here ya go. Scroll down to the google dialer section
