Hello @ all,

Sorry, that you think, that DWC can't display all your contacts, and i can tell you, that DWC can do all what you need

First i would like to inform you about few things ...

1.) Androids have a "system contact filter", which can be setup. You can do this on your stock contact app or you can do it on DWC(="DW Contact")
see in DWC: go to settings -> display settings -> "Global settings" -> "Contact display filtering"
there you can configure, which contacts you want to display.

2.) DWC have different tabs, and on every tab, user can decide, which contacts he want to show
a.) on tab "Phone" -> only show contacts which having minimum 1 phone number)
(because i think, it makes no sense to show every contact there ...)
but, you can change this on every tab for "phone" tab there is an option:
see in DWC: go to settings -> display settings -> "Phone settings" -> "Only contacts with phone number"
b) on tab "Contacts" - you also can setup, as you like...
see in DWC: go to settings -> display settings -> "Contact settings" -> "Only contacts with phone number"
c) on tab "search" - all contacts are shown as default, and the search tab is the mightful tab for searching of any information, because the "search" tab, search in very fieldof contacts (notes, birthday, events, etc...)

As you can see - DWC is very customizable, but it is not always possible to have default values, which very user like, so we make it possible to configure all possibilities.
i know, there are a lot of options, and a lot of functions in DWC, but believe me - it is worth to look through the options, because it can be complete adapted to your wishes
