SyncMyPix worked very well for me, all my contacts from FB got HIRES Picture.

Check the settings, I used of course maximum quality and don't crop 96 (unchecked).

Wysie contacts.apk do not mess with it, when I tested SyncMyPix I used it without problem.

About the slide button for the dialer are you sure you got problem with the 180px? In the 180px version I did not touch the dial button code, only in the bigger version 250px or the latest with custom background the slider dial button are only hidden but it is still there... you can use menu or slide up from the center bottom of the screen.

I am trying right now the update_v22_180px_callwaitinginfo_signed.zip and the slider button works as always, I can dial the number too.

Check my signature for the rom I am using on my G1.

@rjl

Yes, I am pretty done with the Phone.apk, It is time to move to 2.1, I am waiting for the Nexus One, I'll take it when it came to Europe (Italy).
[G1 Android Development] rjl09:

[G1 Android Development] st40611:
I used maximum quality and didn't crop but then in the dialer screen all my contacts look squeezed or stretched. Is there a way to fix this? (dialer screen as in the "calling ..." screen, not the actual "call log/contacts/favorite" screen.)
[G1 Android Development] xenio2000:
I think it is possible to keep the aspect ratio, I am using "fitXY" to put the photo on the square box (250px or 180px) because the source photo normally came from the square crop 96x96 (contacts.apk or google contacts) and the result is always square.

If the source is different, like SyncMypix, fitXY is not the best choice.

I did for myself a little improve in my Phone.apk with two onscreen button (Dial and Dismiss) thanks Eliot Stocker that make it possible.

I can send to you this Phone.apk with the "keep aspect ratio" parameter for the picture.

Let me know if you are interested on it.

Xenio
[G1 Android Development] st40611:
If it's possible can you PM me a download link? Thank you very much.
[G1 Android Development] xenio2000:
Ok, give me some time to change the Aspect Ratio parameter and compile it.

I will send you soon the modified Phone.apk
[G1 Android Development] eessel:
hey xenio, I was wondering if i could also get a copy of the Phone.apk with the parameter fix. I'm guessin' it looks like the screenshot on the previous page, cuz that looks pretty dang sexy! lol. Great work as always, and thanks! :)

[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
is there a way to include such buttons on the actual phone screen such as

End call / Speaker / Mute such as the buttons on the eclair dialer screeen on nexus one or droid?

thanks!
[G1 Android Development] xenio2000:
There is no proximity sensor on the G1, so, as said many times, buttons on screen will be pressed by ear.

I thinks that this request has a more specific answer in the Cytown thread.

[G1 Android Development] mccurt29:
is there anyway of getting this working on 1 of the eclair builds or sense ui....i tried but it jus cuts out my servixe(x instead of service bars) even after a reboot ...i even tried wiping & installing b4 the 1st boot no luck
[G1 Android Development] xenio2000:
This is only for G1 with 1.6 donut, no sense no eclair no 2.1

sorry
[G1 Android Development] mccurt29:
dam i want this more than anything on my phone....wll u be trying to port it over to 2.1 in the near futre or is it jus impossible
[G1 Android Development] xenio2000:
What I did in the Phone.apk is pretty simple, I don't understand why anyone is making the same on 2.1.

I have only the G1 for now, I am trying to buy a Nexus One but it is unavailable in Italy for now, when I get it I'll check the phone.apk in the 2.1 eclair.

Phone.apk v23 OnScreen Buttons Custom Background

As requested Phone.apk (v23) only for Donut 1.6

// Please read the last pages on this thread.

Features:

FitCenter to keep the aspect ratio of the photos (if you use SyncMyPix)

OnScreen Button (There is a 3rd invisible button on the photo to answer the call)

Custom Background

No Callwaiting Info

No DialPad (if you need it press "menu")

Big Photo (I don't know the size anymore)

Border Color on the picture for the call state

(only red/green/gray, no yellow for bluetooth I don't know what happen with a bluetooth call).

I coded a new way to get the color state... now the background is only one picture and the color is in the photo border

with this way there is no more the need of create 4 different background images (for theme makers)

how to install:

BACKUP your PHONE.APK FIRST

flash the file with update on recovery

or extract the zip take the Phone.apk and push is with adb or terminal.

thanks to:

as always Cytown for the modded Phone.apk

Eliot Stocker for the onscreen buttons

Please if it works ok and you like it, let me know and I publish it in the Opening Post.

Thanks,

Xenio
[G1 Android Development] mccurt29:

What did you change in the Contacts.apk to make crop of 210x210px

Confused

First off Thanks for all your work and time excellent app. You should think about put this thing on the market

Confusion:

So i flashed the (phone_v22_250px_button_update.zip) and i am about to flash your v23 on page 16. My question is do i have to flash the other v22 (update_v22_180px_callwaitinginfo_signed.zip) & (phone_v22_250px_update.zip) in order to get the contact image not blurry. My contact image seems to be distorted and I already tried to re-crop it after I flash (phone_v22_250px_button_update.zip), but i will flash v23 and let you know if it fixes the distorted image

thanks for helping a nub like me

nvm just re-read the first page:

I also changed the Contacts.apk to make crop of 210x210px and it works...we have a very defined picture, but when the contacts are syncronized with Google Contacts the picture come back to 96px

Big Photo for 2.1 ROMs?

Hey xenio I know that you recently upgraded to the N1, but I was wondering if you were planning to do any work with the phone.apk for the 2.1/2.2 ROMs. I loved your work for 1.6, and now that CM5 has come out for G1 it's making me miss the big contacts.
[G1 Android Development] -= sk0t =-:

Could you give me Contacts.apk with crop 96x96 and Contacts.apk with crop 210x210?
[G1 Android Development] xenio2000:
@amontem Hi, thanks, yes finally I have the Nexus One, I love it... I am planning to make some tweak for Froyo 2.2 when the source will be available... I want big contacts picture ahaahah... I miss my G1. :D

@sk0t the 96x96 crop is the standard Contacts.apk that every rom use, the 210x210px that I modded is lost somewhere in my W7, Ubuntu virtual Machine and Ubuntu PC, let me check it, if I can found it.

[G1 Android Development] -= sk0t =-:
Thanks, but I found the solution:

baksmali

Contacts.odex or classes.dex from Contacts.apk.

Open with Notepad file com\android\contacts\EditContactActivity.smali.

Find 0x60 (60HEX = 96DEC) and replace such as 0xc8 (c8HEX = 200DEC).

Then

smali

it into new classes.dex and add to Contacts.apk

And How to make odex-file from dex-file - drakaz.com/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=1002#p1002 (Can't post link - new user)

I want the big pictures so bad but am not sure of myself and my knowledge which is nil.:confused:
[G1 Android Development] lazzy81:
Can this work on 2.2 Froyo rom
[G1 Android Development] JarasKK:
Well, I personally prefer bigger id photo, but there's a trade-off.

After you modify the Contacts.apk to pick 250*250 photos. The contacts list become slow. More explicitly, the id photo takes longer to show up in the contacts list.

I was wondering if we can store two different sizes of photos. Then show the small one in contacts list and the big one in dialing screen. This is definitely need to change the code. Do you know some devs who can do this?

Sorry for being a 'troll'

Keep asking everyday.
[Hero CDMA General] sjh858:
Wooooaaaaahhhhhh...

I read this forum almost everyday. I read it because I am excited to see what's going on. I enjoy being 'right there' on the latest news. Quite honestly, everyone who visits this forum should be excited to see this phone get 'rooted.' This makes it customizable to our liking and not what HTC/Sprint likes for us.

I use Sprint Navigation, but that's about it. My real point being that I love XDA, PPCGeeks and all these other communities because they are as excited as I am, typically. People are posting because they want to know how its progressing and how the process is done. I know I would be interested in learning about rooting, cooking, so on and so forth. It's interested watching these pro's and noob's alike come together on this new challenge.

Not to mention we got our first CDMA sub-forum that I've seen on this site. It must mean we have a spot here and that the Hero will be rooted and mods/themes will be available. Not to mention that it could be assumed that things will move faster on our device than others simply because the GSM version is already rooted, along with other Android devices.

If you don't like what's cookin', get outta the kitchen...
[Hero CDMA General] icreepin:
Bro you are way off base, the original poster probably came to the forums seen the CDMA sup forum for the hero then created a post asking for updates. Not a big deal really.

And in the original posters message he was asking if people needed help so if an offer to help is rushing the process then I for one am all for that.
[Hero CDMA General] solo24:
dude.. are you serious? now i have been doing the forum thing for years now. Usually an observer. And I guess I do see my share of post of people getting mad for other enthused people asking questions about progress on certain things. But congratulations! You earned my response, and not many have. I just need to say chillax! Go troll somewhere else. You are worst then the people who ask idiotic questions (not that this thread is one at all)

p.s. Sorry everyone for wasting your time with this nonsense. I don't make it a habit.

(Originally posted on Rhodium Forum but should work with most devices running Manila hence re post here).

Hi all

To help organise my applications I've always wanted to be able to shortcut to start menu folders from within the manila program launcher but standard functionality did not allow for this.

I found this post: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=416092

and I've developed the ideas a little and come up with a cab which will allow you to link to your Connectivity, Games, Multimedia, System Tools and Utilities folders within the Start Menu from the manila program launcher.

First go to Windows/Start Menu/Programs to see if you have the above folders, if you haven't you can create them. You don't have to have them all but the shortcuts will only work to the ones you have.

Then install the attached cab. This will provide you with a set of shortcut files that can be selected from program launcher as normal. (Thanks to Andrew-in-Woking and this post http://xdaforums.com/show....php?p=1782122 for the icons which I used).

I've tested on my Kaiser and Rhodium both on WM6.5 and seems to work fine. Let me know of any issues.

Just wondering what your thoughts are on best weather app for this phone?

I would use the native one, but it thnks I am in the state of Washington when I am really in Washington, IL.

I am currently using Weatherbug but I find it annoying that I have to tell it every time I reboot the phone to set location, when I have already set my default location to where I am (I even have it checked to use my current network location) but the widget on the home screen stays blank. When I click on the widget, it pulls up Washington, IL and gives me the information, but when I back out, the widget just stays blank, freaking frustrating.

Is their anything else out there worth trying, or anything else I can do to fix this issue I am having with Weatherbug?

And also, my understanding with the HTC Hero weather widget is that it is a known issue and has to be fixed with a firmware/software update, right?

Thank you,

First read the Wiki and then just spend a couple of weeks with it and exploring the TP II forum. We don't know how you will use your phone or what you expect from it so we can't recommend anything at this point. Only you know what you want the phone to do.

So educate yourself, determine what you want and then everyone here will be happy to help you get there

[General Questions and Answers] Iceman692:
I would first recommend upgrading to WM 6.5. Then install TouchFLO as a UI and install the Microsoft Marketplace. There are tons of apps there to customize your phone how you like! Also check out the programs here on XDA. Just look around and you will find things that fit your interests. For example, you may come across a tool that enables your phone to schedule text messages (handy if you want your girl to think you're so sweet by sending her a good morning message first thing in the morning lol works like a charm). Also, Google Maps is an excellent GPS program, but Windows Live Local has better turn by turn directions. I would recommend one or both of those.
[General Questions and Answers] galaxys:
^Very good recommendations above...WM6.5 is a must then you can customize from there...

Also, I'm going to be using the phone for business. Is there a software program to read email better than the standard email view on the phone?

What business apps would you recommed?

I've also been advised to flash it with the latest HTC radio and NRG Photon Rom? Someone also said to use SPB 3.5?

I'm currently pondering buying a HTC Hero.

My question is though:

Would you still buy it right now or would you wait for the next android phone HTC is releasing (in the coming 2-3 months).

I'm currently torn between buying an Hero or waiting, I've read a bit about the HTC Dragon/Zoom 2 because it has a higher resolution, but the current specs state it has a 4.2 inch screen.

Which is way too large for me.

So, any current HTC Hero owners care to state their personal opinion on the matter?

Thanks

Would still buy it, love the design, and i have had it for over a month and been using it all the time :D.. It's the best mobile i ever bought!
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZenorGR:
Since a lot of android phones are coming out I would wait.

But if you are looking for a small and powerful device instead of a big smartphone then it's the right choice, in my opinion.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aridon:
If you wait, you will always be waiting. The market moves so fast that there is almost a new device coming in 2-4 months that may or may not be better than what is out.

You can always Ebay it and buy another one if you want a newer phone.
