Ics contacts - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Once again. Did not present it properly. Why all ics roms have smudgy pics unlike in Miui which have beautiful contact pics ?
And all ics has same dialer but if I take a number down while on phone and write a digit wrong for instance then how do i delete and correct and then save to contacts ? This way Smybian was nice. Like LED notification was in all Nokias ages ago while I have to hunt for an app like Noled !

[Q] Messaging app that has these two features?

What I am after is a messaging app that has these two features.
1) That SMS messages are NOT converted to MMS messages when they get too long.
2) That the time when the SMS was SENT is displayed next to it rather than the time it was received.
I've been using ChompSMS for a while which fixes the first problem but the app itself seems to be prone to slow downs and feels generally more sluggish than stock. Ideally if there is a modded version of the stock messaging app that addresses both these issues would be best. I'm not fussed about changeable themes etc
Ders a Mod for it.
Jus search around.
Is it a mod of the stock app? I had a look earlier but couldn't find anything and now search is down

Since the the X8 and the X10 are not very far off I thought I would try but none of that worked, does anyone have a clue of how to display MY image/avatar in messages, I did all the steps that I could from that post and nothing.
INFO: X8 Froyobread v0.23b - with UI CyanogenMod CM7 v 2.2.1
thanks in advance for the help.
FYI. It's not really important i just like to see a good image through my sms conversations.
Just save your own number to your contacts then add a picture to it then your picture will show up in conversions

No buddy I did that just like that post said to and no good.
So I've added my own number to the contacts.
I checked other options and still nowhere to be found.
what else can possible be a solution? any other thoughts, anyone?
EDIT: Nevermind people thanks for the help, didn't realize that a lot of changes can be done after you restart your phone. got my image in the avatar working great. just having my own number in the contacts helped.
Try go sms pro sir. It is much better than stock sms. I even remove the stock from my phone.

Not a bad point, how can I remove the stock I already have Handcent on mine and its way cooler with lots of mods, but it keeps interfering with my stock when i receive i have to be checking on both to remove notifications.
I would also like to remove, MAPS, Market, Gmail (Things that I can't use since I'm outside of the US and no internet connection unless WI-FI)

Need help on selecting ICS

I am using JW4. It is nice but with lots of lags at times. Sometimes its frustrating really.
But integration of Facebook and twitter to my calendar is very handy to check on birthdays.
Is this function available on Any ICS or even Stock Custom rom ? I want to change.
Thanks .

Twitter has no problems syncing on ICS. Facebook is having issues, that can be solved easily by installing "Facebook Sync", free on Play Store. Some ICS roms has facebook sync working perfectly, those who don't - that app will solve it.
Try to flash using Team ICSSGS' ROM or even Slim ICS. Facebook Sync with Calendar seems fine. I have tried them both. Give it a shot.
Thanks a lot guys !

I'm rocking CM9 alpha nightly, it's very stable and the batterly life is awesome aswell. I would recommend it as a daily rom, even thought it is a bit unpolished(very early in developement)
Hi !
I was using CM9 myself and thought that finally I have a damn good ICS rom !
On my 5th day issues started.
When I would get a call the answer button would not activate and would shift here and there without receiving the call. I thought it was an isolated incidence and let it go. Happened again, twice.( irritating CM 9 issue cause my call was very important and.....embarrassing in front of others ! )
Sorry, but the contact pics always` pricked ` my eyes though Google is to blame for it. Its very ugly and smudgy. ( nothing about CM9 )
I discovered that I had lots of duplicate contacts and unwanted contacts which I wanted to delete and a group remove function was missing. (not a CM9 issue )
Lastly, I received a phonecall and was asked to write down a phone number which I did but a digit was wrong and then when I tried to delete that digit, I discovered there was no Back button on the dialer !
A bug ? ( big time CM9 issue ! )
Back to XXJW4 until ICS XXLPH is ready. I will wait for it.
Take care !

ICS keyboard and Sms

Hello, I would like to know, is it possible to keep a stock rom, and have the same keyboard as Cm 9? Don't know if it's the same as the normal ICS one. I use the ICS keayboard app from Google Play, it's really good, keyboard is the same, but I liked the way it underlined the wrong words in red, a bit like Microsoft Word!
And also, is it possible to have the same type of sms app? With the pictures of our friend always shown for new sms's and not just bubbles.

For your first issue. You wont get it to underline in red, because that is handled by the SMS app, not the keyboard. and why are you on XDA and using GB anyway?
So, this can't be done with a stock rom?
I'm on XDA because I used to have a Custom rom, CM9 then, Remics. But I use Tango quite often and apparently this app doesn't work with roms so this was kind of a deal-breaker. Moreover, tha camera app and the browsing experience was better with the stock rom, easier to watch Flash videos on my phone

did you try posting your query in the rom thread ? maybe others using the rom facing same problem ?
Hi, thanks for your reply.
Well to be honest i dont have enough permission to post there.. I dont want to spam for posts, so i havent reached 10 posts yet. I think many guys are facing this issue but just ecause i use this function like everyday so its a little irritating...

Just returned to PA 2.57.4 Utacka's ROM after going back to stock to await upgrade. Not sure I understand the problem ? If I want to send a message I choose the message icon from the dock. On the page that opens I choose the message with a + in the lower left corner, which opens a keypad, any letter I type brings up a list with that letter from my contacts list. Choosing from that list starts a message to be sent. I can also get to the type a message screen straight from my contacts list by selecting the message + icon next to the contact name. Is this what is missing for you?
