You want to backup your original phone /contacts apps? They are in /system/app folder.
Go contacts and phone app will be in /data/app folder if you install it from market ( under the name com.jbapps.contact-1.apk )

It sounds like camera.apk
Usually I have 2 icons for it. The camera and the camcorder.
But on some ROMs, the camcorder icon disappears and it's just not there.
But if you use ADW I found a way to make the shortcut.
1. Long press the homescreen and select Custom shortcut
2. Click Pick your activity
3. Click Activity (second item - it has an ADW icon)
4. Scroll down to Go Contacts and expand it - there should be a list of activites that Go Contacts performs.
5. On the regular contacts.apk in CM6, I just made a phone shortcut by selecting Phone(Dialtacts.Activity)
If you scroll down to Settings, there are lots of shortcuts you can make.
I made one for Testing and Battery history (the one that spare parts accesses)
I believe what he wants is:
1) change the Go Contacts / Dialer with the stock app
2) be able to backup both Go Contacts / dialer
Like Zeppe said, Go contacts is one apk with 2 activities. So backing up one will back up both.
Now im not so sure about replacing this with stock contact / phone apk.
Will make a test later and let you know.

ok
1 app with 2 activities
can i backup ( 2 activities ) each one alone ?
thanx again
No dude. When you backup the apk you backing up it all. Depending on the app you are using for bkp, you might choose apk only or apk + data.

As the others have said, this one app will have two icons (one for Dialer, one for Contacts). They both open the same program, but display different screens. If you want to only show one icon, you can hide the other one by using a custom launcher like LauncherPro. The you can hide either of the icons and the program will still work normally.

I know you can create folders on the home screen but i'd really like to be able to organise the apps in the menu screen if its possible?
Thanks

You still can't move any of the programs that you have in your application menu screen into a new folder in that screen.
I think some of you need to learn to read properly before you give some answers that isn't about what the OP is asking for.
The program menu screen is not the home screen.
Don't think you can without using an application
Sent from my X10a
no but you can create short cuts on the homescreen and put themin folder therefore reducing the time u need to enter the menu
Firstly thanks for all your replies.
I know you can create folders on the homescreen, thats not what i'm looking for.
I want to organise the apps in my programs menu. Seems a bit silly its not more straight forward as i would have thought the ability to organise apps as being quite essential.
Any one know what apps can help?

That isn't what he's after. There's no need to post it multiple times.

Also, you could try zMenu.
It's not great but at least it allows you to categorize all of your apps.

Hi guys. We are in times of crazy rom updates, and when you update making a wipe, one of the big problems is you lose the icons order in the app list. I don't mean to icons in the home/launcher else icons in the general list of apps.
I know how to save the home icons and widgets disposition but is there any way to save/backup the order of the app list? I don't like alphabetical order or things like that, i personalize myself and is a pain in the ass do it every time i do i wipe to upgrade a rom.
I have been searching in the forums but didn't find anything.
Thanks
please anybody?
This would be amazing!
But in the meantime I normally screenshot every page before updating and save then onto the pc then I copy the order, it's not great but it works for now
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
Yep, but the order has to be saved in some system file, it must be there. It's annoying no one knows what file is :-(

the icon order and page layouts are stored in the app data of TwLauncher. you can backup its data with titaniumbackup and restore it later on. but be adviced that there might be side effects when restoring the data of an older rom in a new one.

i guess you need to restore it after you restored all apps. if you restore the apps later on, their position won't be the same. at least i don't recall any problems with the applist order on my phone, and i make heavy use of folders.

I think it does, because when I wipe TwLauncher data the icon layout is lost and when I restore it they are where I put them. Maybe if TwLauncher is different between the roms it does not work? Anyway, the layout must be somewhere in the appdata, I think it is in the launcher.db file (/data/data/com.sec.android.app.twlauncher/databases/launcher.db), you can view it with Root Explorer's internal SQL viewer -> menu_item
Good luck!

Hmm... this seems strange. I've done the exact same thing and haven't lost my folders and icon order through three rom updates. Just make sure you backup the data of "TwLauncher" in Titanium before you flash. On restore make sure you only restore data for TwLauncher and as heldchen said restore all your apps first.
P.S.: Just to be on the safe side: you do mean the order of the icons in the app drawer and not something else?
Hey guys
Do any of you know how to change folder layouts??? So like how to move apps within a folder or out of a folder?? Really lost.
Looked everywhere but just cant seem to find an answer.
Help..and thanks in advance

You can't. Also, if you put apps into folders, they will mysteriously move outside again after while, so don't even bother. Maybe they fix this some day.

Samsung was a bit shortsighted on that one and didn't build something like that in their launcher. My workaround for this is the following procedure: go into edit mode, grab the folder you want to edit to a new empty page and than delete the folder. The apps in it will populate the new page and you can re-add them to a new folder in your desired order, than re-add the new folder. If you want a more convient way for this try GO Launcher EX from market. It handles folders much more user friendly.As a note: You'll not be able to use any of samsungs widgets with any of the alternative launchers though.

I never have had something like that happening. Did you uninstall/install an app? In that case it looses its place in the folders.
Thanks for clearing that up for me. Yea it sucks that we have to use such a long proceduren.. I quite like to organise apps in folders..

Hi,
On Cyanogenmod the caller picture is too small for me.
Is it possible to make it larger? Is there a mod or something for it?
I dont want to use other apps like big caller, because the normal caller app appears before.
Metin
EDIT: Link to a Phone.apk with larger Contact Pictures: http://goo.gl/mcpWv
Nobody an idea?
Would it possible if i download phone and contacts from github and change the layouts.
Or i have to change it with apktool?

These have 256x caller photos, but the app icons of contacts and phone are disapeared.
ONLY USE IF YOU HAVE A OTHER CONTACT/PHONE APP LIKE GO CONTACTS
you have to flash them via adb push to /system/app
Note: only desire cm7.1

Good morning all.
I just discovered that if I put any of my phone apps into folders (e.g. put Phone or Messages or Video into into a folder in the app drawer) and reboot, the apps are magically dumped from their respective folders back into the root folder (app drawer).
Does anyone else have this issue?
Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk
There is thread with this exact problem, try to find it. From what I remembered, if you add apps to folder by clicking on that plus sign, they will disapear. You need to click on menu button and then edit. Here you should edit your folders and then save. Once done this way, they will stay in their folders.

Thanks for the response. I'll give that a shot. I used that method to do my other apps; phone apps seem to be the only ones affected. Will let you know how it turns out and will also look into that thread when I find it.

That seems to have done the trick. The phone apps are staying inside their folders and they're not magically popping back into the root folder. Thanks!

Solution: Do not use the plus sign inside the folders, or the apps will fall out of the folders when you reboot. Instead, press “Edit,” and drag and drop the apps into the folders. This will keep the apps inside the folders. Honest. It worked for me.
