I know I am being picky but I do not like the default generic blue caller ID picture that shows up when you receive a call from someone not in your contacts without an associated picture.
Is it possible to find this picture on the phone and replace it with one I like?
Can this be done without rooting? If so anyone know in what directory or where to look on the phone to find this image?
Thanks for any help.
What android version do you have? It worked fine in Kitkat, but yesterday i've updated to latest Lollipop, 23.1.A.0.726, and now i have the same problem again

Good question - I too would be interested in changing this photo to something custom.
U can add a custom photo, but the idea is to see the updated photo from Facebook, in my opinion at least

He doesn't want to add a custom photo for his contacts. He wants to replace the stock blank image for callers that are not saved as contacts. When you receive a call from an unknown number, the image with a blank generic human shadow appears.

Just upgraded to 1.42 ROM and when I hard reset the device it asks if I want to install caller id application. I am not sure what this is or does and what I should reply. Can anyone give me any advice?? Thanks John
Caller ID app allows u to assign different ringtones/music and photos to different callers - ie to personalize it. Just like on regular cellphones.
However the app that comes with phone is crap. Doesn't work half the time.
Download Photo Contacts Pro by pocketx. DOnt bother with any other caller id apps - i tried them all.
The latest version of PCP is decent, tho not perfect IMO. But at least it works like it's supposed to!
Thank you Starik and also for the recommendations..This means I can decline this app when it say do you want to install? Thanks again..jd76
hey

Where do we get the Photo contacts pro from????
also after the upgrade to latest 1.40 i can't find file explorer anywhere on my pc.. what do i do...
One thing that annoys me to no end is that you can put a picture in each contact but when they call it's just this tiny little pic on the screen.
Does anybody know of a program out there that will show a full screen (or close to it) picture of the person calling in? This has always annoyed me!
I remember someone with an iphone 'skin', which I believe brought up the full picture while you were RECEIVING a call. I can't remember if it also worked when placing a call.

Enjoy
Thank you much!
I've always wished that there was a caller ID program that did not come with all the bloat of Photo Contacts Pro. Seems like no one has ever bothered to make a simple program like that though.

Try Inesoft Address Book, very good with skinning support for the caller ID. www.inesoft.com
why cant there be just a simple program for photo caller ID? ive tried all the other programs and dont need the address book and everything else. Its a part of all these other programs, someone must know how to do this. thanks...
S2U2 v0.72 supports full screen photo caller ID. Search the forum and u'll get it free. Need to edit registry key though for caller ID to work. Just read the first post of the thread.
The iphone skin reffered to is the program Slide 2 Unlock. This is available via this forum. Within the post there are details of a registry setting which gives you two different options for setting caller ID pictures. One is a small pic and the other is full screen. Works well !

now it comes with it own config settings... so no need to do a reg edit....very nice app...
I installed S2U2 v0.86 last night and it appears at this early stage to do the large incoming caller photo very well. I also use PocketCM both for browsing contacts and to assign the caller photo. Both apps are from here at XDA-Developers and have excelent support. They are both skinnable.

as mushipkw said slide to unlock does this. it's free and on xda
Are there any good custom caller ID's out there? I'm looking for something similar to the iPhone w/ a nice BIG picture w/ answer and ignore. The default WM doesn't do it for me. I've searched the forums and can't find a thing, thanks in advance.
you can use S2U2. it is iphone like app that is used for locking device screen and it has built in caller id function. you can even change the phone number format. just look in S2U2 settings and you will find what you are looking for.
there are also some threads about this application so you can find all info in there
Thanks, I've tried S2U, didn't really care for sliding everytime i'd unsleep the phone. I've got big fingers, and it sucks when i'm driving having to slide a bar, i'm looking for a standalone caller ID app.

You can enable D-Pad and slide to unlock using the D-Pad.

In the new version you can use the green button to answer...
Next time follow the link on my sign....
You can also disable the sleep feature, and just use the Caller ID like I do.
id also like to enlarge the picture on the caller id ..... any other options?
You guys should look at PhotoContacts Pro.

There's got to be a free/better looking caller ID replacement out there somewhere, I'm going to try the S2U2 again and disable the sleep function as suggested...I'd still really like to see a GOOD replacement for the WM caller ID. Thanks for the ideas though.

you can enlarge picture to almost full screen
A few things to note:
If you've set your contact pictures using the default WM contacts program, your pictures have been resized to the size you see on your caller ID right now. Using a full screen caller ID with these low resolution pictures will look like crap. You CAN, however, use a third party contact manager to set a high resolution contact photo, but from what I understand, Outlook doesn't like that and refuses to sync the contact picture when you do so.

if you use s2u2 1.05 and also s2v and assign you contact pics thru s2v the caller id pics will take up pretty much most of the screen with good sized answer and ignore buttons its pretty much the best option out there and easiest to use i think try it if its not what you are looking for you can alway remove it
i gave in and installed s2u2, although im not using s2v i can still assign photos via outlook. some photos get distorted when they are blown up... i prolly just have to use a better quality photo

Nope, that's Outlook resizing your picture. You have to use S2V if you want pictures to look good when blown up. The only problem with this is that I think pictures won't sync up properly with Outlook if you use that feature.
When I receive a mms picture message, the picture always comes out extra small then it should be. Is there anyway to fix the dimension size and get the MMS picture view in full size?

I think it must depend on the size of the picture you've been sent - as mine have always been full screen. Bear in mind that the Diamond has a VGA (640x480) screen and most phones send MMS pics at a lesser resolution.
The way to view full screen is to open the MMS pic, click 'Contents' which will then let you see text01.txt and Image001.jpg (or similar) which are the parts of the message. If you hold your finger / stylus on Image001.jpg then you get an option to Save. If you save the file then it gets saved in My Pictures and is viewable in the TouchFlo Photos and Videos... which means you can zoom in using the scrollwheel.
Your operator can also cut down the size to save traffic. It's done on the mmsc server, I believe.
I am also experiencing this problem, The Pics are only coming in at 4k, and when saved as suggested by p3eps It won't let me zoom in. Pics are about the size of a finger nail on the screen which just isn't good enough!
I am going to phone o2 to see if they are restricting something but I am on a unlimited data package so I don't see why they would.
If anyone else has any thoughts would appreciat it!

I've experienced the same problem with my original Orange ROM.
Since I've flashed my Diamond with the original HTC ROM I am able again to receive MMS picture in their original size and not in thumbnail mode !!!
But I've experienced this problem with other HTC models. I think it's a problem with the ROM install. A hard reset could fix the problem. Perhaps.
O2 in the UK do this, if the network doesn't recognise your phone it automatically downsizes the picture. I had this problem with my htc s710. I had to edit some registry setting to make the o2 network think my phone was an xda and it worked.
I cant find the post i found it in, but in sure if was under the networking folder on this forum.

Top Man thats sounds like the problem!!! Only thing is I have no Idea when it comes to registry editing!
hi, every body. I have one question and I thinks others does, too. Is there anyway to change size of contact's photo? I want to add pics of my friends to contacts but it seems to small and quality is so bad. I think it can change via framework or system UI's editting but I'm quite bad at this. So if there a way, plz tell me how to do it, I like the way of Iphone or Window Phone.

About small and low quality image, i think it use for text store! Because export to file to sd, it also backup picture and save as text in one file
Sorry if this not true ^^
