[Q] Caller ID picture quality on R3charge - Final - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello Everybody,
I've try to search this issue on the r3charge forum but did not find it. Basically, most of my contacts caller ID pics are linked from their facebook account. When I had my stock rom, it was pretty clear and at a decent resolution. Now that I flashed the r3charge ROM, you can barely make out the picture.
Any suggestions??

I have found nothing on this. I do know that Google compresses the contact photos (and Sense does same for facebook) if you sync contacts - which causes the distortion.

This isnt really an answer but.. I've had that happen off and on with different ROMS and I couldn't ever figure out why
I'm on MikG 2.55 right now and they're as clear as could be. It also happens when I use Launcher Pro.. they look like crap

Changes in the rom update are not always better

I just flashed my Diamond to a 1.97 rom and one of the things I noticed, is that in my telephone, there are no more contacts.
there now is a video converstion in the lower left, a menu on the right and in the middle, there is something that looks like contacts, but is a combination between contacts and all the people you already called/missed.
Is there a way to remove this videocall and get contacts back in the place?
already been browsing trough the registry, but couldn't find anything there.
Can anyone help me, or give me some suggestions as how you solved it
flash to another ROM, you're wasting your time trying to fix their bugs when they'll just fix them in a new release :]

Personally, I really like that kind of innovative thinking. Good for the forums

Rom request

First off excuse my ignorance, as I am not a developer.
the thing I hate most about Sense is the Contact interface, facebook and google voice in particular. Now I know google voice isn't a part of sense but thats kinda the point.
Facebook for sense is a good idea done bad. All the mundane features are hidden and obscure. Also when you use google voice, half the sense features don't integrate and just make things feel cumbersome.
Is it possable to make a true "vanilla" Rom at least when it comes to contacts and facebook. Can we get the android facebook to do the contact integration like the Nexus and can the sense contact interface be completely discarded?
I assume is is vary difficult since it hasn't been done yet but I wanted to request it just in case it can be done
People are working on vanilla 2.2 and2.1 roms as we speak. Should have more stable versions soon.

so these roms would have no sense it it at all? The reason I ask is because I have tried a few roms that say they are Vanilla but as soon as you go to a contact, the sense interface is still used.
try the CyanogenMod Test Rom.
No sense at all. It's nice to see it totally plain, but there are still enough bugs in the rom that I went back to stock to wait for a future release. But I still recommend you check it out for a day or two.

I tried it last night. Facebook still uses the HTC sense to sync contacts (witch is broken and I didn't try to push the friendstreem.apk) and I am pretty sure it had the sense finger slide in the contacts

You may have tried Ozzeh's or Jager's "vanilla" roms (which still have some sense left) but if it had any sense in it you didnt try Cyanogen. His is completely free of sense.

I may be wrong about the contacts menu but the facebook sync was definitely missing from the android app witch lead me to believe I would have to push friendstreem.apk to fix it but I didn't try so I may be wrong

OK, that makes sense then.
Because yes, right now the only way to get Facebook sync to work is to use friend stream....but that doesn't mean that the ROM has sense UI in it. It means you REALLY want Facebook sync.

ya, it may sound minor but if you use the friendstreem.apk, it doesnt show there thumb mail pics in the android quick dial links, at least it didnt for me on another rom

ya once that gets more of the bugs worked out its definitely more my style. Assuming a good 2.2 rom doesn't beat it to the punch.
I find my self still playing around with my droid every night because I really like 2.2 vanilla and my good home run derby account is on there LOL
Use yetirom, absolutely no sense in that one

[Q] Bad quality pictures and wallpapers CM7

I have a problem with quality of several pictures and wallpapers on my HTC Wildfire. Picture is fine and smooth for about 1-2s then it sharpens and become grainy, pixelized and generally speaking bad quality.
Picture seems to be shown like it was too much sharpened in photoshop. There are several white pixels. I was trying to use quick pick as well as stock gallery viewer and some other what i cant remember - still with no satisfying effect. On stock htc sense it was all perfect and smooth. I have found one matching topic on my local android forum and one on some english language - still no answer.
If anyone had simillar problem and solved it i am begging for reply it is very annoying. The worst is that picture is perfect before it will fully load (like i said 1-2 sec.) so it can be viewed perfectly. Is there any option to turn rendering/sharpening/or any other photo corecting effect in CM7?
HTC Wildfire
Android: 2.3.7
ROM: CyanogenMod 7.1.0.1. BUZZ Stable
Kernell: 2.6.35.14-nFinity
best regards

Try using a different gallery (e.g QuickPic) and wiping the camera with a piece of cloth.
"Picture seems to be shown like it was too much sharpened in photoshop."
I agree with you on this one man. The quality seems to degrade when pic set as wallpaper.
I am going to check out custom-sense rom (either WildPuzzle or DK Custom ROM). Probably this might solve our problem.
Plus i am facing a few other problems like laggy status bar, laggy animations. Hopefully the two aforementioned ROMs will give a better experience.

And about wiping the camera it is not the issue of taken pictures only also when i upload some photos to my phone.

Yes it might be only way i didn't try... I like CM7 anyway so i thought here i will find the solution.

S Voice? Well, it depends

Hey guys...
Just heard about S Voice. It sounds even better than siri. So I gave it a try on our device with CM9 alpha2.
So here it is:
The major function is OK, concerning listening and giving answers. Mount Everest's height can be found, weather OK, and even silly questions.
But the problem is here...
First, it is not quite responsive. Sometimes the button does not respond. However it can be worked around by re-launching it.
Second, the integration with local data does not work. Whenever I tell it to create a new task and/or calendar event, it crashes.
Third, it is not customizable. When you try to change the wake up phrase, it crashes. Worse still, you have to clear the data of the app to revive it.
Na.
Well, just asking if any developer is interested in making it work in our device?

Are you running a custom ROM? Most (all?) of the ics/jb ROMs have issues with third-party camera apps.
Aw yeh, that may be it, running cm9, well, that explains pretty much everything, haha, didnt think of it, well, thank you for the answer

With just bout any ICS rom (except maybe Virtuous Infinity, which is painfully slow right now), any app other than the stock camera app the rom comes with, will usually exhibit problems on the image (corruption etc). This is normally true of any '3rd party' apps on those roms.
The work around would be to snap the image with your main camera app, and then import it into instagram from the gallery.
