Contact picture display fullscreen on call?

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.

APP drawer orginizer?

My girl and i both have G1s. Her phone uses DXtop and is not rooted. Her DXtop has the ability to orginize APPs in her APP drawer. I have been looking everywhere and cant find anything that alows my rooted G1 to do the same. Is there anything out there that can manage APPs in the drawer on a rooted G1 running cyan 4.0.4?

advanced launcher

Advanced launcher is a home replacement. I'm interested in a theme or application that is not running over my original home but allows the APP drawer to be customized. Besides, it also states that it is not usable with Cyan 4.0.4. Any other ideas?

its not a home replacement like dxtop....it actually replaces the one you have
did you even read the op properly?
I'm confused by myself. So here's the description: u17 ist still the old version for cupcake releases. There is a standalone and a replacement. Both are for cupcake based builds.
Then there ist v2.0.1. It's the new version. It's for donut based builds. And it's currently only the replacement version, standalone will come.
So don't use v2.0.1 on cupcake based builds (like cyanogen's 4.0.4 stable) and don't use u17 or u17_replacement on donut based builds (like the cyanogen experimental branch).

i.e........ u17 is compatible with 4.0.4 but not donut
read the op and use the replacement version instructions to fix up your build

i know what you mean xD
yesterday i spent 3 hours debugging another teams program. they had 6000 SLIC and it crashed on run time. I figured what the hell, im up for a challenge. well the whole program crashed because of one letter
fliers instead of flier
both flier and fliers were valid so it compiled fine but crashed when it was run. the exception being thrown was nowhere near (in a completely unrelated class) where the error was and the debugger on eclipse missed it completely.
turns out, the guys made bets on how long it would take me to find it. (i beat all their wagers. i told them to give me the pot or id report their asses. see, im super productive XP )
because of that diversion, i didnt get my team to finish their project so i made them stay after xD

LOL. Yea one lil letter, number, space, or character and that throws everything off. I've had to go thru line by line studyin everything to see whats been wrong and after awhile everything just blurs together. Luckly I'm workin on a couple different projects that use arbortext which makes everything alot easier. But there's those times arbortext messes up and its back to lookin at the code in text pad or word pad and wow you already know how that is.

[Q] AmeriCan Android game resolution is too small!

I have the updated AmeriCan Android build and I downloaded Live Poker from the market. Screen looks fine until you actually get to a poker table and it's too small and cut-off. Would this be a problem with the build, the phone, or the game?

The right place for this question would be the thread of the build you are using.
There you have all the people that use this build and the developers of the build.
They would advice you to read the first post, thoroughly, and the FAQ to wich you can find a link in said first post of said thread.

Well, me too. We are just taking different approaches.
Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach him how to fish and it will feed him all his life.
But you may be right with the stalking. I spend all my time searching for posts like this. When I find one, I give the TS an answer that will surely give him a headache. Then I wait around the corner for you to turn up.
Next time you find one of those posts, shaking your head in disbelief, wait a second before you start typing the correct answer. Quiet. Listen closely. Maybe you can hear my sniggering.

No, don't do this if you like the resolution for normal use.
Open the drawer and look for Spare Parts. Uncheck "Compatibility Mode". Now reboot and all your apps will run fine.

It's a bit easier, although the other way isn't that hard.
It depends on what you like. If you like the smaller status bar/icons so you've got a greater view (what you have at the beginning), then do it the way I explained.
If you prefer the bigger status bar/ icons, do it on your way.
Both ways will make the apps work in full screen, but they'll change the viewing experience.

I have the similar problem with this build [JUN23] AmeriCanAndroid AOSP HD2 GB234 CM71|bkup2sdext234 [KERNEL:ACA512-1].....however, I check all all the posts at where I got this built and found no help. I followed your advice to copy and paste the root folder to android root but after reboot, the problem persists. In fact, my main problem is: all of the icons are really small in and out of the app drawer.
Thanks for your time and help btw

Maybe you have to cut and paste not copy. Cutting it works for me, i.e. 240buildprop is empty.

[Q] Deleting libGLES_qcom.

I know deleting that particular file is to enable software rendering.. or disabling. one of those. Suppose to help mainly with gaming. But my main question, if any one knows, is that if you delete from the system does it have any other benefits or even negativves to other partsof the rom?
Hope to hear from you guys

I asked that same??? To a dev and he didn't know either. I say Google or just make a nand and delete it and give it a spin for a few days
Yea its me again. With the

I believe the only way to get rid of blinkfeed at the moment is to use a different launcher. If you use sense your stuck with it. You can make it so it's not your homepage though.

Have you gone into the settings and enabled other sources? I hated Blinkfeed until I realized you could get stuff from all sorts of things like mags, websites, sports, news, etc.
But yeah, third party launcher is the only way to "disable" it.

It's not possible to remove blinkfeed from sense. The person who said you have to use a different launcher is correct.

I'd echo the note of using a different launcher. If you are particularly fond of the Sense launcher though, you can always add more home screens and change the default homescreen to point elsewhere (say, screen #3 or so). Blinkfeed will always be on screen #1, but you can ignore it this way.
Of course, many alternative launchers won't work with Sense's widgets, so be sure you're aware of that before you make the jump to any particular one! I do believe I saw that there was some work on hiding blinkfeed, though; unfortunately, it doesn't seem like it's a simple fix.

Yeah, its literally embedded into the launcher...its hard coded in.

Have you tried setting it up for your interest? I thought it would be annoying at first and was very annoying for the first couple days and almost installed a different launcher. Till one day I started messing around with it and now I use it daily. It's nice to be caught up on what's going on with technology and science without having to search the web for the highlights. Saves a lot of time.
I get this question a lot working at sprint. Customers come in all the time asking how to get rid of it. Instead of showing them different launchers I show them how to set it up and they all walk out happy without wanting a different launcher.
This is something new and very exciting for smartphone owners. But I do agree it would be nice to at least have the option to remove it for the people that buy a smartphone and only want to make calls with it.

Google+ and Flipboard are far superior tools if you're looking to keep up to date, but for casual reading it's pretty hard to argue with something that's built in.
