Contact Editor Free (v. 0.6.2.1) Разработано dmfs |
This is the contact editor (and only the editor) from the Android 2.1 sources.
I just fixed it to make it work with arbitrary contact sources (like CardDAV-Sync) and removed the dependencies on the internal API to make it work with Android 2.2 and later.
So all credits go to Google.
After installing this app you won't see any launcher icon in your app list. It will be started whenever you try to edit or create a contact (and you select "Contact Editor Free").
If you can edit all your contacts you may not have any benefits from this app. It is useful if you use some custom Sync-Adapter that does not feature its own editor (like CardDav-Sync) and your editor can not edit those contacts.
However some people reported it is useful if your phone's manufacturer removed the ability to edit custom labels.
Also, have a look at "Contact Editor Pro" an improved version of this editor. ( https://market.android.com/details?id=org.dmfs.android.contacteditorpp )

This app can not edit or remove contacts from read-only sources like Facebook or Cloudtact! This is due to the definition of read-only!
Also, if you see a blank screen when editing contacts that are aggregated with a Facebook contact, try to remove and recreate your Facebook account. Facebook limits access from other apps which breaks the contacts API in a way. For further information see http://techcrunch.com/2011/02/22/google-android-facebook-contacts/
Note regarding Events:
There is a big problem with events in this editor (better: with Android). The Android SDK documentation states about the database column for the date: 'The event start date as the user entered it.' Unfortunately does every manufacturer have it's own opinion about the format. Some are happy with 'yyyy-mm-dd', my phone uses unix timestamps.
So if your phone doesn't accept the 'yyyy-mm-dd' format try entering a unix-timestamp ;-). Seriously, I think about removing this feature until I've found a proper solution. You can help by sending me mails with your phone model, os version and which formats work or don't work for you.
Btw: just writing a comment like "Doesn't work on..." won't help neither you nor me to get it running on your device. Please contact me if you have problems.
Please report bugs by sending me a mail stating what happened and what you did before it happened. Often the Market bug reports are not very helpful without additional informations.
known issues:
* on some devices this app hangs when it is opened. If this happens to you, please send me an email!
* crashes in some very rare cases. I've no further information about those cases and I'm not able to reproduce them. Please send me an email with your phone model, your OS version and what kind of sync-adapters you have installed. Thanks!

[2012-12-16] A Google User: This is a supplementary application, very good and functional Needs some user's explanations, it took me sometime to understand, but once understood, then it worked very well. Congratulations with thanks. |
|
[2012-12-01] A Google User: Average No average over 4.1 contact editor. Can't join contact. |
|
[2012-11-25] A Google User: Superb Loved it so much I bought the paid version. Will probably uninstall if the paid version works as well with the extra features, but a great freebie! |
|
[2012-11-22] A Google User: No accept button on the first screen No accept button on the first screen. Completely unusable on Nexus 7 |
|
[2012-11-21] A Google User: Perfect Allows to add addresses to my default contact (doesn't allow me to otherwise). It does everything I want it to. |
|
[2012-11-14] A Google User: Perfect Irritated with my ohones limited contact info, name, phone and mail were only options. Now I have it all, address, bday, anniv....you name it. Great app. |
|
[2012-11-02] A Google User: Does absolutely nothing? What's this garbage? Just displays some terms and conditions info?? |
|
[2012-10-27] A Google User: Cant get past the first screen |
|
[2012-10-23] A Google User: No way to accept terms and conditions so no way to run. Removed it. |
|
[2012-10-18] A Google User: >.< |
|
[2012-10-14] A Google User: Doesn't allow editing of custom fields Doesn't allow editing of custom fields that you have defined using Google Contacts. For instance I store things such as Spouse for some contacts and this doesn't appear. Perhaps this is not what the app is supposed to do? However from the description I was under the impression this would be supported. Other than that it appeared to work fine. |
|
[2012-10-08] A Google User: Doesn't work!!! Can't accept terms n conds on my tablet. |
|
[2012-09-23] A Google User: good it solves hotmail editing problem. |
|
[2012-09-19] A Google User: Unable to see icon after install I am unable to see the icon in app drawer after install on my device . |
|
[2012-09-18] A Google User: Does what I needed. Just wanted a way to add street addresses to my Android contacts. This option was not available on my phone, but Contact Editor Free gives you the option to add more detailed contact info. Great stuff. |
|
[2012-09-15] A Google User: Lifesaving @humera...if you read the description or even the beginning of the terms it tells you clear as day that it won't show up until you go to edit a contact. Learn toa read. |
|
[2012-09-13] A Google User: Events Wow I like it very much because its add and edit events of my contacts. |
|
[2012-09-11] A Google User: HTC ONE V Don't work... Can't get by help/license agreement every time it starts up.... What a waste of a download.... Thanks for wasting my download data. |
|
[2012-09-10] A Google User: Cool aap. Gr8 wrk guys,really a must 4 android |
|
[2012-09-01] A Google User: Perfect for ownCloud 4 Works well syncing to my ownCloud 4 instance on a RackSpace cloud server (Ubuntu, HTTPS using self-signed certificate) |
|
[2012-09-01] A Google User: Can't accept terms Droid 4 |
|
[2012-08-17] A Google User: Cant accept terms n conditions..no option o to accept so cnt access the application on my android tablet..it also ds nt show the icon lyk an app. |
|
[2012-08-07] A Google User: Custom phone number tags If you have a few phone numbers for a contact, you will love this app. Instead of: Home, Work, and Mobile, this app allows custom labels. So instead of having Joe’s phone number listed as "Home," you can have it listed as "Joe’s pad" or Joe’s garage, or anything you want. This app gives you total control. And this is only one of many features this app has. |
|
[2012-08-02] A Google User: helped my edit hotmail contacts easily a great tool if u use hotmail native app which doesn't allow u to edit your contacts. This amazing tool helped me fix that issue. Great work! |
|
[2012-07-25] A Google User: Thanks for the great app Using Moto astrix , it don't have custom edit field for events. This is more helpful to create those fields. Great App. Working fine in Motorola. |
|
[2012-07-24] A Google User: Lets me edit birthdays! Couldn't see or edit the custom dates on contacts on my DroidX or my DX2. This app lets me access, edit, and add birthdays, anniversaries, etc. |
|
[2012-07-22] A Google User: Wont update Tryed to up date it keeps saying package file invalid please sort it out |
|
[2012-07-21] A Google User: Thank you |
|
[2012-07-20] A Google User: Need one thing It can help add new contact but it can't add a new number to a exiting contact! Fix it |
|
[2012-07-16] A Google User: Um. What's the point of this? I see that I can basically do what I can already do on my phone. |
|
[2012-06-19] A Google User: Kevin The only app I've found that allows full editing of Hotmail contacts until Microsoft & Seven get off their rears and add contact editing into the official Hotmail app. |
|
[2012-06-19] A Google User: Yay! I get all contact fields now The android contact editor would not let me edit or add all of the fields in the contact list. installed this and it just did the right thing! |
|
[2012-06-18] A Google User: Super! This app saved my phone from flashing the ROM again because my default contact editor gives errors. Thanks! Moto Defy |
|
[2012-05-27] A Google User: Finally Have had a really bad time of it since my upgrade to gingerbread. My contact list lost 90% of it's edit function. All it would allow me to enter was name, telephone number and email address. My tech support had no answer except to factory reset. Doing that would entail hours of reinstalling information lost during reset. I searched and finally found this little jewel, that worked out perfectly. Five stars and a BIG thanks to the dev (even although I accidentally hit 4 stars when I submitted my review). |
|
[2012-05-27] A Google User: No advantages Suggest use stock app instead |
|
[2012-05-24] A Google User: Can't accept terms Application doesn't have any means of accepting the terms and conditions so I can't get in. |
|
[2012-05-17] A Google User: Revlin is a moron. Hahaha Cracks me up how people will install apps on their precious phones without reading even the simplest description. Lol. Thanks for the laugh, Revlin! Haha. (By the way, idiot, it says right in the description it won't unnecessarily crap up your app drawer, and how to find it. But since you are special, then for you it is really an evil virus and you are totally f-ed. Hahaha For the rest of us it's a sweet little fix to one of Android's great bits of stupidity.) |
|
[2012-05-15] A Google User: Great Proper editing of Exchange contacts. Hurrah :) |
|
[2012-05-10] A Google User: Downloaded and tried many contact managers in hopes to find what this app does... finally a way to create custom numbers |
|
[2012-05-02] A Google User: Perfect companion for Enhanced Email EE syncs but cannot create or edit contacts. This app is the perfect companion. Beats Touchdown and Moxier. |
|
[2012-04-16] A Google User: It doesn't even work Every time I open it it's a black screen |
|
[2012-04-05] A Google User: V.nice V.nice for edit contacts... i.e. contacts label edit.. coz in default u dnt custom labels in contacts... |
|
[2012-03-30] A Google User: Must have for Enhanced EMail If you use the application Enhanced E-mail with Exchange acco , then this application is a must have for you! Create and edit your exchange contacts. Thank you! |
|
[2012-03-22] A Google User: nice Atrix 2 |
|
[2012-03-12] A Google User: Lifesaver! Such a huge improvement over the carrier's installed bloatware! |
|
[2012-03-06] A Google User: Works I'm using this with Enhanced Email for Android and it allows me to edit my Exchange contacts. Changes seem to sync bi-directionally. Thumbs up. |
|
[2012-02-26] A Google User: Great Allows editing of exchange contacts |
|
[2012-02-08] A Google User: Tears of Joy I deleted my default contacts app a while back, needless to say this fixed my problems |
|
[2012-02-04] A Google User: Works great. Seems to sync more reliably with Google contacts than HTC editor. |
|
[2012-01-07] A Google User: Works as Promised I installed carddav beta and was sad when I couldn't edit my yahoo contacts. This fixed it right up. THANKS! |
|
[2011-12-22] A Google User: Dora what it says Keeps contacts in chosen google account rather than in phone mem. Facilitating sync. GUI could improve, but still 5 stars from me! |
|
[2011-12-17] A Google User: Does the trick Perfect app for letting you edit birthdays on stock Android devices. Works exactly like the stock contact editor. |
|
[2011-12-11] A Google User: Ugaas Nice but catogries are missing |
|
[2011-11-21] A Google User: Ni on useless No group functionality birthdate no matter what date you put in says there birthday is today |
|
[2011-11-05] A Google User: Getting a bit big - 1MB for a contact editor? Perfect complement to any HTC phone - ability to edit custom labels sadly lacking from Sense. |
|
[2011-11-05] A Google User: Nice app Please add functionality to add birthday using calender. |
|
[2011-11-04] A Google User: Great I emailed the guy who made the app, he got right back to me. Great customer service and a helpful app |
|
[2011-11-03] A Google User: Works on HTC Sensation 710e (4G) Thank you. The notes field is big enough for me to type and read. It can do landscape mode too unlike the HTC unsensible People's note field. Now I am back to loving HTC Sensation again. I am giving 4 stars because the UI is not as pretty as HTC People (but this is just me). Wish to have theme for it. |
|
[2011-11-02] A Google User: Great app Excellent app. Indispensable for HTC devices, which do not support Custom Label by default. I would have died without this app! |
|
[2011-10-27] A Google User: This should come stock. THANK YOU! After updating to 2.3 on droidx my contacts birthdays became a random list of #'s I couldn't edit, this app let me change my bdays back! Th |
|
[2011-10-23] A Google User: Awesome Just what I needed. After I updated to 2.3.4, I was getting fc when editing or creating contacts, with this app it all works great. |
|
[2011-10-19] A Google User: Nice! |
|
[2011-10-11] A Google User: Thanks much adds birthday etc functionality to editing contacts |
|
[2011-09-29] A Google User: Salvaged phone contacts My stock contact edit function was broken (even after soft and hard resets). But this app has restored contact edit functionality. Works great! |
|
[2011-09-23] A Google User: Perfect for htc incredible s! |
|
[2011-09-18] A Google User: Great app. My contacts are on exchange synch, and this app restored my ability to see all fields when I edit and create new contacts from my phone. |
|
[2011-09-15] A Google User: installed but never shows up in apps list. have no clue how to launch this app |
|
[2011-08-31] A Google User: Must have on HTC device On android 2.2 and 2.3 HTC devices the ability to create and edit custom fields has been lost. This app gets around that. Thank you developer. |
|
[2011-08-27] A Google User: Great little add-on. Thanks! |
|
[2011-08-06] A Google User: Cool. Works well with the Contact Lookup applications and saves me having to write one, thanks :-) |
|
[2011-08-04] A Google User: Using LG Optimus One. Does NOT allow u to select mp3 as ur contact ringtone at all! |
|
[2011-07-29] A Google User: 0.3.3;DroidX@GB[OTA]: IDK the # of hours this past year I wasted trying to solve constant Dialer~Contact FCs w/blur but they're all gone now. *THANKS* |
|
[2011-07-26] A Google User: HTC Sense based contact editor is terrible. This resolves that issue. I'm using it on EVO 3D. Thanks. |
|
[2011-07-11] A Google User: It sucks...& it freezes up plenty of tiimesx. |

[2011-06-01] A Google User: Awesome app. Works great, seamless. Very useful tool. Without the Contact Editor you can't edit contacts which are synced with third party tools (like CardDav sync to Zimbra and other DAV databases). The nice part is that this product is almost invisible. First time you edit a contact it will ask which editor to use in the future. Thereafter it just works on its own. Looks very "android", which is good for me. |
