Contact picture display fullscreen on call? - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

Is there a way to make the Contact picture display larger upon getting a call?
Given the format of the bar at the bottom I'm not assuming this is possible.. but I figured I'd ask.. (I've looked around and searched but no luck)
(ATT ROM)

I would also be very interested.
Pictures are way too inconspicuous.

Slide to unlock or more accurately S2U2 does this fine.
Have a look here.

This works fine.

You can also edit the answer and end button graphics.
Unfortunately you have to pay around $30.
Other that that it is great software.

Lots of similar threads around but I use the s2u2 (slide 2 unlock ) which does the trick for me.
only a few annoyances such as the picture quality being bad and also the top of the picture gets cut off but its still made it a hell of a lot easier to know whos calling when driving for instance

They also have a version of Photo Contacts that is $20. Works great for me.

U can use S2U2 from A_C, Search the forum or look in Development & Hacking section.

Wiz, HAve you used S2U2 yet? I've been browsing through that thread and it seems it's pretty hit and miss with different models? Tilt Friendly?
If you say it's a go. I'll go for it.. =P As long as you've got it working, (or know someone who has) on a Kais/Tilt..
[scared]I FINALLY got everything the way I and I'm trying to be more careful with my mods/cabs since I'm not cooking anything up yet.. [/scared]

Seems like a pretty good program, You like it.. How's it work with HTC Home/other cabs you've installed?
It also looks like it would be pretty beefy in size.. notice any slowdowns?
Thanks

Yes I have v.86 of S2U2 working fine on my Vario III.
I have had no issues with it. I used PocketCM to allocate the photos to contacts as it appears to allow you to use better quality photos, they are zoomed to fill the screen otherwise.

I know this is not a vote, but in terms of usability (both size of the keys and screen contrast), Vilem has not steered you wrong. This is the best dialer that I've used.
However - keep in mind there is no landscape verison yet, AFAIK.

Gotta' agree -- the Eten phone dialer is THE way to go. I've been using it for quite some time now. I don't think I could EVERgo back to the original phone dialer. . . bigger buttons, custom skins ... couldn't ask for anything any better!!

I am due for an upgrade tomorrow!

Its 18 months or so since I joined this forum, and it was because of my new MDA Vario II.
I'm now due for an upgrade, and there is only one phone I want - the III.
So, tell me - what should I do? I'm so confused and disapointed. I use my Vario II to stream YouTube video and surf the web, and from what I've seen, the III isn't up to it.
Please tell me I'm wrong and I should call for my upgrade tomorrow !!!!

Get the kaiser
Seriously, do you want to buy mine off me / swap? T-mobile branded, but you can flash / do what you like with it.
I really can't use it as an everyday phone. On another forum (hexus.net) the guy said simply - it's not a phone as such. It's a tool for techs / devs or whatever who need the extra functions. But for a phone it lacks in many usability ways that your average nokia / SE / samsung does not. It's a shame really, the device has so much potential to be awesome, it's completely the software side of things that lets it down.
It has dropped a fair few useful features from WM5 / earlier versions too - like having a t9 text input rather than a touchscreen keyboard. Now you *have* to get the stylus out if you want to send a quick message without altering from portrait to landscape to use the hard keyboard, which takes around 2 - 3 seconds anyway for the hardware to redraw it.
Looks like HTC are working on the vids driver issue. Someone has suggested a patch in feb/march. Have a read of some of the posts on it.
take the plunge. get one.

Yea I read that. But also read a post saying that there is no driver due for release since there is no ATI Imageon hardware built in to have drivers for. Who knows? There comes a point where you need to say you've had a product that hasn't delivered what you expected for long enough. However, it is full of features so maybe a good choice. But if I was buying right now with the knowledge I have now I'd probably not get a smart phone but something nice and simple that could perfectly perform the duties I wanted it to
So short answer: it's up to you
Thanks for that feedback guys. I'm pretty use to my MDA and its functionality, even though making a call can be sometimes difficult.
So, is video playback as bad as is mentioned?
Also, I use voice dialing and the hands-free speaker. Are these functions on the III?
cheers guys,
Ratzz
I watch youtube on mine all the time. I think it is just fine. I have been using the Kaiser now for 5 months and I love it and would not make another choice.
kaiser really is something
Yes those feature are in it out of the box. U should get one. All in all, it is the best pda out yet. I personally love mine, and with the right rom u can make it fly. It doesnt have problems with any 320X240 video, and with the new coreplayer 1.1.3 not even with bigger ones so get it. It's a great pda phone!

Homescreen background on all Tabs?

Doe anybody know if this is possible? Now I only got the background on the hometab, but it would be nice if it is shown all the time... A quick search didnt do the trick for me
id also love to be able to do this, anybody have any clues??
Yeah i would like something like this too.
Maybe even an option to have a different background pic on each tab, so say i have a Dark Knight pic on my home page behind the clock an stuff when i move across to say settings for example i could have a different pic there instead of the plain black with the squares underneath!
bump, the more ive thought about this today the more i want it!

Me as well, did a quick look around the picture files and was hoping that it was just a normal background picture, but I had no succes as well :S
well i assume it wud jus be a case of replacing the image of the grey squares wherever that file may be. for having different image per tab would probably need additional software i would assume. then again, im just guessing. gonna keep this thread open because this is something i really want on my diamond
I'd also love to get an answer to this.
This is not possible till now.
If you use the search, you will see, that it is not possible to change any graphics of touchflo3d till now.

Hi.
Anyone knows if it's still not possible to change the background on all of the tabs?
This would be a very cool feature
it sure would! And I’ve seen a lot of people asking for this feature, so I’m surprised that non of the diamond experts has figured out how just yet.
sushilange and D-MAN666 are figuring this out right now ...
They are developing an app to change the manila files...

Okay so whats the solution for the stock exchange app then? There isnt one.
There are no damn apps being developed anymore for WM especially on high end VGA devices.
I too would like a decent stock exch app.. if im moaning over nothing, point me in the right direction and i'd gladly shut up
Well it wasn't a good app.I better just wait for a better app to come a long.

I can only see about 1/2 of the cells vertically. I guess it only works if you reduce your text size in windows... but then the phone itsn't finger friendly anymore.
yes,i also have that problem.

I used on my Kaiser and use in my Diamond...
Works perfect.
It has only one issue...
SOmetimes, when you starts the program, there is a fade on the screen... But you have only to press the power button twice and the programs goes well...
Would be great if HTC Home has a tab for stock exchange and share price update. HTC did it for weather, why stop there. Stock price should be next.
Yes,i agree. Hopfully a application that will work perfectly with the TouchFLO 3D.

App to answer and end touch screen?

Is there an app for this? And does the phone have to be rooted? just seems practical on the touch screen
What do you mean, like for in-call options?
I think he doesn't want to hit the green phone button, but the screen, to answer a call, as well as ending the call w/o using the red End button.
Look there has been multiple threads on this... that and a full screen pic for the incoming calls
Yea i just saw a thread for the full screen pic but i can careless about that.. all i want it the answer and the end to be on the screen so i dont use the buttons on the phone.. used an iphone for a bit and now i keep catching myself touching the screen in frustration.. So is there something? and does it require a root? can I have a link if its not to much trouble ..the search feature here forwards u to google so its tough to use

Don't worry about them. Your question is legitimate, and the suggestion to use the buttons on the phone was a workaround, not a resolution. These internet tough guys like to show their virtual muscles for everyone to see. Just learn to ignore them.

Back to topic.
I would agree with Turbo, it would be cool to have a function like this, however, when you are on your phone, your cheek rubs against the screen, (and don't tell me yours don't ever touch the screen) it would be nice to be able to have this option with an enable/disable function.

Well that WAS a problem b4 cupcake, not sure if you noticed or not but while on a call after several seconds the screen locks/sleeps, and when on a call and the Dialpad is up it requires a "Double-Tap to unlock" on screen to unlock it. Unless your chewing gum or bouncing it off your cheek it should not be a problem. You can also use Shake Awake.
Now if someone could make a app like OP wants, it would be NICE, as I been looking for something like it for a long time.

True, forgot about that. also if you are using a headset, it doesn't matter either...
Yes, the Hero ROM describes what you're talking about. It has a Green "ANSWER" button and a red "DECLINE" button, just like the iPhone.
Unfortunatly, an APP can't do this yet because it's all built into the version of the phone, not an application itself. If someone could port it over, that'd be great!

well if im correct i dont think the hero rom is the only 1...i may be wrong but i think the HTC Magic ports that Haykuro did also had a different way to answer the phone it had the HTC dialer, its been a while since i used that rom been dealing with Hero, its a little more stable and user friendly then hero you may want to check that rom out.

i get what is being asked. i'd love to see it too, or even an option to turn on/off a function that takes the functions of the make call and end call functions right on the screen, and nice looking.

I used to run off of Haykuro's builds since he started making them. I haven't seen any HTC builds with an on-screen answering option like the Hero build. I know all about the HTC dialer, but there's no on-screen things that are drastically different.
Besides, the Magic and the Dream have no difference UI-wise except for the tiny extra features that Haykuro's "H" builds have offered.
