About Contact Editor Free APK
Table Of Contents
Description
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.
This editor is a replacement/alternative for your native editor and it's invoked in the same way. 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!

Questions & Answers
Q: What is an APK File?
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

User's Reivew
5 ★Actually bailed me out of a mess caused by an application that forced my stock dialer to uninstall. I love this app and strongly recommend it.
5 ★Thanks very much for this app, had to use it to add and amend existing Outlook app contacts, adds a much needed feature that Microsoft seems to have forgotten!
5 ★Overcomes contact notes 1,000 (998?) character limitation on many Samsung Galaxy phones. Thank you!
3 ★Effective, yet it doesn't offer a functionality that's critical to me. Pro: it can edit EAS (Exchange) Hotmail Contacts (disregarding the way the account was set up in the device). Con: it works in replacement of the default contacts editor with no option to choose amongst, and it doesn't load selected pictures in a contact. Anyway, thanks for the app. - Samsung Galaxy J5 Metal GSM unlocked, Android 6.0.1 (Lollipop)
5 ★My stock HTC gallery app broke, so now my stock contacts app couldn't add pictures - this app saved the day :-D
5 ★Excellent.. This app solved my contact back up issue to my google account encountering on sony xperia c3 mobile...
4 ★It's A Great App For My LG L70, Because I Couldn't Add Emojis To The Names, Now I Can ! I Just Wish It Would Update Automatically Without Having To Do It Manually 😞
1 ★Changed to S5 phone and it no longer edits Outlook contacts
5 ★It solved my problems
1 ★You get one page of legalese with no apparent way to actually open the program and use it. gave up trying.
5 ★I really like it but I hate how when I want to add a picture to the contact name the picture is to blurry please fix that thanks🙂
5 ★Some of my contacts have very long extensive notes. This little editor allows me to edit these notes. Newer versions of the native editor truncate the notes field and it cannot be edited. Nice app!
