I hate having contact pictures on my contacts app, in my dialer, and even the text messaging app. I just hate having contact pictures, i dont use them, i have one picture for one contact, and the rest are the stupid stock lacking picture things. I hate it, i'd like to just strip that out entirely, have only the names, no photos at all. I find it much cleaner, and less cluttered. Does anyone know of any rom/mod/app that will help with that? Exdailer seems to handle a lot and one of the features is removing it, but i think that's primarily just for the dialer.

Does anyone know of a dialer which displays a larger contacts photo. The size of photo in the standard T-Mobile dialer is tiny. Also the pop up notification window on an incoming call doesn't show any photo. A large picture of the caller would be great for screening calls. I used to use a modded Eten dialer on my Wizard which did have a slightly larger picture but afaik it is WM5 and does not support video calling.

Are there any Kaiser compatible dialers which display a larger contacts photo?
I used to use this and it worked nicely:

It also had good profile management, blocking features etc.
I can't be bothered to install it now that the HTC Home has contact pictures on it though...
I have used "Slide 2 Unlock" on mine which is available on this forum. There is a registry setting on this that will allow you to have a full screen picture of the incoming call contact as a background with the incoming phone number providing you have a photo for the caller stored. It works very well and it's free!
I'm now using "Inesoft Address Book" and I'm quite happy about it.

I installed this last night (v0.86) and it is working brilliantly. What with S2U2, PocketCM, PocketCM keyboard, HTC Album I feel like a little Apple fan boy. I didn't start out to clone the iPhone look&feel I just wanted a responsive, intuitive, user friendly interface for commonly used features.
I guess I didn't either but it's hard not to like some of these iphone type apps. It's a bit like having the best of both worlds, but what I will say is that I tried the iphone in the o2 shop and the screen is something else!
Does it identify contacts in your SIM? Photo COntacts pro didn't that's why I stopped using it. Also can you use alternate dialerpads cause the one they show is ugly. Also what shows when someone without a picture is calling? Thanks for your help and advice.
Does somebody know what registry settings belongs to make larger contact photo appear on incoming calls? I don't want to use a multi purpose program for it.
Thx
Hey i was curious if there is any software that can be used for the kaiser. i used to have a treo which was nice because i could see the whole text messages. anything that would show a time stamp and previoyus comment

It's called threaded SMS and if you have WM6.1, you should have it. If not, there are several program out there that could do it for you.
I use this program since I only have WM6. http://www.birdsoft.biz/extremetext.htm
Its a stand alone app that basically just references your regular message inbox and then groups all your sms by contact name to give a threaded feel. It shows time stamps, contact pictures if they are assigned one, and even allows for hyperlinks to be clicked on if one is sent in your sms. What I really like about this app is that it does NOT whatsoever mess with your sms inbox settings or your mms settings or anything like some other threading apps. If you dont like it, no problem, just uninstall and nothing has changed from before.
Only thing is, that if you do recieve a MMS then the picture wont show, you will have to then launch your normal message inbox to view it.
Heres how it looks. Sorry if I went a little overboard but I looked so hard and tried almost every SMS threader out there and I like this one the best. I dont know about you, but I like to know how something really works before I buy/install it.

I am looking to see if anyone has used or knows of a tool to help clean and organize text messages. I hate having to go through each individual text to delete them, or deleting the entire thread.
I used to use the Palm Threaded app, but it seems to slow my Tilt down as well as run down the battery, but I liked how it had the option to purge sms messages based upon a specific time frame.
I have looked around here, google, and on yahoo for a tool to help clean/organize SMS messages, and haven't really found anything. Anyone have any suggestions?
ok so I know the captivate won't allow me to choose which gmail contact groups to sync (although other phones do, wtf), and I've told it to only display contacts with phone numbers, and I've also chosen to display only a certain group.
my problem is when choosing a contact to send and sms to it shows ALL contacts so I have a bazillion sale****@craigslist.com to sort through... using the search allows me to find what I want, but as a bit of a perfectionist it bothers me that this one little hiccup is left in my setup.
is there anything to be done about this? I'm ok using a different contacts program, or even a different sms program, so long as this issue is resolved.
Here is the thing.
The very 1st time i was setting up my XSP i was able to make my picture for a contact square. Not it is only possible to make dreaded rectangular that centers to fill the square frame.
I think i was using 1.257 the first time and no google contacts account. I am using the google account and latest soft plus i installed this. Is there someone who can help me with identifying the culprit? I really liked my square avatar...:crying:
Or perhaps someone can confirm that the selection frame for cropping phonebook picture is indeed square in the stock phonebook app?
