[Q] Disable contact pictures

hey!
just a short question: is it somehow possible to disable (remove!) the contact pictures that come with facebook-contact-sync?
thanks!
theo
edit: I am using InsertCoin HD-port

If it's just the Facebook ones you don't want, go into the settings of the facebook app and choose to not sync. Or if you don't want them to show at all go into the preferences of the Contact app.

I would like to sync all the facebook-contacts, but I don't want the facebook-contact-pictures coming with syncing "Facebook for HTC Sense".
the normal facebook app is not synchronising at all.

Open up the Contacts app and go through the settings to disable contact icons. To sync fully with Facebook, just go into the app, go into the settings and select sync all. If this doesn't work, go into Accounts and Sync and manually do it from there instead.

YES! thats what I want
but I can't find any "settings-menu" in contacs app ("people").
I am on InsertCoin HD Port - android 2.2.1
in contacts app I have only
-add contact
-view
-delete
-import/export
-search
-more (>blocked callers & linked contacts)
where can I find the option to disable contact icons?
THANKS!

Press the menu button on your Desire and it will bring up a little menu then just select settings. No idea what it's like on InsertCoin but should be still the same. They are there, you just have to find them. But seriously, press menu > settings.

arrr.
I feel like a real noob...I just can't find it :-(
as described above, when I am in my contacts app ("people") and press the menu-button I have only
-add contact
-view
-delete
-import/export
-search
-more (>blocked callers & linked contacts)
THERE IS NO "SETTINGS" option.
if you dont trust me I will upload some screenshots
cant imagine that there is no option like this in my HD-port...maybe I should ask in the Desire HD-forum...
nevertheless..thanks!

Sorry mate. I know what you mean now. Bloody native Android has it so you can get rid of the contact icon but Sense doesn't. I installed Sense earlier and I can't find anything. Guess you could get a 3rd party app and use that but as far as I can tell, it's not going to happen.

Deleted google contacts app?

Stock 4.02 ROM rooted/unlocked.
So I was changing some stuff around on my home screen and dragged the "contacts" app that was in the bottom bar into the trash can. I was planning to just use the contacts I can see under the phone icon, but now I realize that only lets me dial contacts and not see all the contact info I have for them. Also, a few recent contacts I added aren't showing up online from my desktop. My phone says it's still succesfully syncing my contacts. I don't see "contacts" in my app drawer (but I don't know if it ever shows up there.) Did I uninstall the contacts app, or am I just missing a setting somewhere to make it display?

Well the app is called "People"... I'm assuming that's what you mean.
If you're on the stock launcher, there's no trash can for pre-installed apps. You can only see "App Info" to disable it. You can't uninstall with 1 drop.
If you're rooted and using a custom Launcher, it may have a "trash can" to long-hold onto to uninstall, and if you're rooted it may offer a full uninstall of system apps.
Gonna need more info here...

[Q] QSlide - where can I get it?

I'm using an unbranded firmware (10i) and it doesn't come with QSlide and neither is it available in the Update Centre.
Where can I get it?

I cant find anything to do with QSlide in system/app or system/priv~app, any other location or apk name?

It's the function that lets certain apps pop-out such as messaging or the tasks app etc.
It has a little icon on the app that lets you make it pop-out but it's not on any of the unbranded firmwares that I've seen.

Is it activated in your quick settings menu? Go to edit and tick it's check box to activate.

ok, all the apps are enabled in qslide settings but messaging app doesn't have the icon to activate it.
Neither does phone/file manager.
however, if I disable them all, the calendar/phone apps still have the option.
Weird.

Disable Samsung Calendar

Hi guys,
If you are annoyed with samsung calendar and can't disable it within the phone like on AT&T, you can use Debloater by Gatesjunior to disable sCloudSyncCalendar and SPlanner. Now when you respond to an invite in gmail (or anything else) it'll ask to set up a new default calendar. I selected Google Calendar that I got from the play store, so I can now have them go right to the google calendar (even though previously I couldn't change the default action from taking me to S Planner.)

Awesome app! I was able to hide a lot of junk that I don't use! I wish I could find a way to get rid of the S Finder/Quick Connect in the notification shade. Disabling those in the Debloater didn't get rid of the two options in the notification shade. Maybe because I'm not rooted.

Since the notification shade is "hard wired" with s finder text, this definitely wouldn't remove it. Nonetheless, it was a great method to remove a bunch of useless Att bloatware.

can someone tell me what i need to disable to get rid of the music app and the internet app?

If your device is rooted, you can used the app specified in the OP. Otherwise, try Package Disabler Pro (Samsung) by policedeveloper.

Samsung decided to remove the option to hide apps in the app drawer,
replacing it with an uninstall/disable feature instead.
Before, with the hide feature, you could simply hide third-party apps
that were barely used or that you didn't want others to see.
Now, you can only completely get rid of them.
I did this for the bloatware apps that couldn't be uninstalled, but also for some of the apps which I only use when traveling overseas which isn't more than once or twice a year. Guess need to wait and see how this new security works
Thanks dkb218

You can just disable packets and that is for all apps no root needed just pc or a paid app

If you disable them they won't show up in the drawer, but then again you won't get any notifications or messages until you enable it again. I think something like any package Disabler will work this way.

Add app to the secure folder and uninstall it from the app drawer.
