Phone Book Modification - Nicknames

---

Hello Android developers. I would like to modify built-in phone book application to add "Nickname" field for contacts, and also show this nickname in contact name field. Can some professionals give me some advices how to do it and what place to look in?

but we can't add a new field, because so there is problems with google sync!

Exactly, we have the source code, so it's possible to add a new field, but becuase there isn't a field for it already google probably isn't syncing nicknames.

So we could make a field, but we'd have to find a way to pull nicknames...

Why not just add there nicknames in the Name field?
