Okay Google, very nice you have updated the people app in ICS to support 256x256pix.
The bad side is that when we sync with our contacts from gmail, the pictures will be down scaled and look hideous ! Not good enough!! makes the phone book look ridiculous!! All the photos go to low resolution after a wipe!! such a shame for such a polished OS!!
May be most of you noticed by now that ICS ROM is sucks on exporting contacts bcuz it decreases the quality of contacts pictures during importing the exported vcf file by ICS.. this was fine on GB ROMs..
Can anybody point me to a modified contacts.apk that can export contacts without changing pics resolution or can point to the responsible xml file for exporting contacts photo resolution so I can edit it and flash it to my phone..
I am having the same problem
I have to set all pics again manually , its a disaster.
Didn't anyone try exporting contacts via gingerbread ROM... if you do so and then import them by ICS ROM, the contacts photo will retain their resolutions in which they are exported by gingerbread ROM..
So I conclude that the problem is with exporting code in ICS.. it doesn't export the right pic size (only thumbnail size!!) so even the vcf file size is much smaller than the one created by gingerbread..
So did anyone try to modify gingerbread contacts.apk to work on ICS??? or at least fix this exporting code error..
try HD contact photos

there is a free version in xda forums as well...
thank you for reponse but HD contact photo is not use for backing up your contact... I need one to backup contacts with ability to retain pic resolution when I restore them... any idea???
no idea...
but this works well for me. I when u restore the contacts the batch function restores all the pics to a good quality.

read somewhere googleservers only support small ones, an epic fail considering ics supports larger ones

Ok so its seems on both cyanogenmod 6.x and AOSP there is no way to save an mms to your sd card. I've tried everything I can think of and cannot figure out a way. I always find myself switching back to a 2.1 sense rom because it had the option to save the pic. I get a lot of pics and need to save most for future reference and I find that sometimes they don't load when I click on them, and if they do I can't save them.
Is there an app that I can download that will do it for me? Is there a series of menu's I can navigate? I seem to have exhausted all my android knowledge I have acquired from XDA and need some help.
Ok for both the Handcent and Stock Messaging app you long press on the pic. that's it.
instead of actually opening up the picture to view it and save it
I'm running CM6.1 - Mau5 themed. so its 2.2
Pictures are of me using both handcent and the stock messaging apps to save the Picture to the SD card.
Last photo is what you do not want to do - open up an image viewer
Should work for you too
wow... of course it's that easy. I never thought to just long click it. I always opened it up first. Thanks!

This is what I normally do.. However there was a time when I had a very long thread of messages and I didn't want to scroll through it to find all the pictures. I installed the app called "Save MMS" from the market and it brings up a list of all your MMS messages and lets you save them individually; it was a life saver!
I know that we can save the S Memo notes by exporting using Kies but it is not saved as individual files. I would like to manually saved them if I know which folder are they found on the Note.
Thanks.
Open your S-Memo,select your drawing to display it,then Menu>Export to Gallery.
Your note is saved in /sdcard/S Memo Export as a jpg image.
Used English(US) language. Different languages has different output folder names,however somewhere in /sdcard/... it should be. You don't need to use Kies.

yes the notes will still be preserved in the export folder
But from within S Memo, I can't navigate to them to edit them.

Hi guys,
This is driving me insane, I have deleted a few folders from my sd card,(they were empty) and I have all my pictures, but now when I take a pic,I can't see my new pix I just took, its no where in the gallery, or in quickpic, if I go to the camera, and go to the pics option,I can see all my photos, including my new ones,I must admit,I am baffled by this, can anyone help me out?
(also this is the same for whatever ROM I flash)
Do I need to as a new folder somewhere?
Thanks if anyone can help me out.

is there any other way i can do it ??
i cannot use any app like sms backup and restore as it takes forever and i have thousands of msg's
and i cannot use nandroid backup method as sense 3.6 nandroid doesn't work with sense 4 and vice versa
MyBackup Pro works like a charm...
It may take a little while depending on the number of msgs you have, but it works very well (most of the time)
It backs up your home screen setting, phone contacts, calendar events, call log etc...
give it a try

i use my back up pro fr apps its great but again vry slow fr smses
Titanium backup does it quickest.
I'm not sure about compatibility between totally different ROMs, but every full system wipe in various generations of ARHD has never seen an sms get lost. If system messages app must be compatible for an sms backup to restore, that must be why the other apps do it slowly, as to order and categorize the different kinds of information so it can put it all into a new database.
Why do you save every single message on your phone? There are export apps which leave the messages in a readable thread format. Maybe do that and save only more recent sms? You'd save time.

Titanium Pro can do it via xml. Some app may be able to do it. But Ti is really good at most things backup.
The messages are encoded and the metadata like contact number and time stamp + text contact are coded and listed in the database files in a unique way. There aren't standards except with incremental OTA's so people's data can be preserved. SMS apps use the phone's manufactured/designated database methods to present the randomly orderly info to you.
Ti Pro can do it with xml (yellow in system app list) and good coding for multiple ROMs.

Try js backup from play store. Works well for me, 500 + SMS and mms restored from gb to ICS (sense as well as AOSP/aokp roms).
