Help Cyanogen 7 Contacts

[CoastalDroid]

I have recently moved away from a ROM using HTC Sense / HTC apps to see if I could reduce lagging. I opted for Cyanogenmod 7, which is lovely and responsive, however I seem to have lost lots of functionality re contacts:

(1) When trying to send an email, I was used to pressing the "To" box and I would get a list of contacts' emails... I now get no list whatsoever. Do I need to install something additional?

(2) When viewing my contacts (all Google), they are split and/or duplicated. Is there no 'link' functionality?

What am I missing?

I have used an option on the gmail website to remove/merge duplicates.. it may help.

Yes you can link. Open contact menu, edit, menu, join


Just start typing in the to field
