hi guys, i dont know if i am in the right thread and if its diffrent from phone to phone (if not, mods please move this thread.)
but my question is,
how can i choose a contact photo and make it stay. most of the time i use the phone contact picture and not facebook. i already disabled facebook and twitter for htc sense.
but still the standard twitter and facebook app changes my contact pictures. and i dont like it. i would like to have the picture i choose stay. is there any way?
i still like the linking to facebook and twitter just dont like the automatic picture change, every time my phone synchronizes with facebook, it chages the pictures. ist allright that it updates the picture for the facebook account but in the htc contact app i only want to see my pictures i selected.
because the other thing is. i am using launcher pro plus and using the contact widget and this one cant display the facebook pictures. i dont know why. but sometimes i dont even like the facebook pictures. would be great if somebody could help.
Thanks a lot
Is there a way to install folders? In other words on the home screen, you have the tiles , thats great , move to the left and you have a line of a thousand apps, would be nice to be able to make folders , that way I can move all my utilities to a folders, and have sub categories for all the apps, just curious! It would be easier to get to the stuff I need right now!
at present, no. maybe it would be good to take a look at the pinned threads in this section first as it will give you better insight into what is there and what isn't, and perhaps if work arounds exist yet.
I'm not sure why you'd need folders, the app list works very well with its SPIN-STOP-TAP numminess. Folders would just add extra taps and complications.
I personally use the app list very rarely because my most-used apps have tiles on the start screen. If you're using the app list much, consider adding your commonest apps as tiles.
Yep, the alphabetical list seems to work surprisingly well (and notice how people aren't complaining about it, while there was lots of talk about it before real devices got out).
Also, there are some folders. They are called hubs. Games, Office, Pictures, Music+Videos contain links to all relevant applications. That, and pinning most frequently apps to Start Screen, does a good job organizing things for me.
Custom/additional hubs could be a nice addition, though I'm not sure how that should be implemented.
Im not complaining at all , I love the ui , but I think folders should be available , not just HUBs , with a hub you have set apps for the hub , now if you had a folders you could add the apps you want to those folders , If I had a folder called Utilities ,I could add Registry Editor, settings, accent changer, samsung tools, diagnosis, one for Mail, add all my emails and mms ,sms , just thinking it would be easier to group certain items and be less cluttery! Sure scrolling is nice and easy, but like on my desktop , I group programs and it makes it easy to get to them!
a small correction, there aren't set apps for hubs, app devs can make their app associate with the hub, for example third party app that does this which isn't made by an oem are Fantasia Painter, Apict, and Lyrics.
I too want folders. I have a lot of apps and scrolling can be long and tiresome. A grid would be better as more icons per page could be shown. I don't want to add lots of apps to the homescreen because then that will become a long list too!
I would love folders like Travel, Fun, Utilities, System, Audio, Video, Photo etc.
There has to be a reg tweak somewhere....

eww, grid? No thank you, don't want my phone to be an iOS ripoff (I'm looking at you, Android). Customizable folders would be awesome. Long hold on start screen, create new folder option, name folder, drag apps to folder, choose hub background pic, done. That'd be wicked. I'd love to create a Business folder with MS Office, Notes, stocks, realtor.com, handyscan, financial calculator etc.

Erm hello? What are you talking about? The old windows microsoft OS (5 and up) had the grid system layout before IOS so how could a grid system layout be a rip off of IOS?????
The current windows phone 7 list view shows 9 and a half applications per screen view. If you had a grid layout you could get anywhere between 12 and 18 app icons per page view. I thought the whole point of the WP7 marketing system was to spend less time on your phone. Who want to spend ages flicking their thumb up and down to get to applications when you could tap and maybe scroll once or twice if the apps were in a grid layout. Surely that would be a more time efficent layout. I love the OS but wish the app list view could be better.
create new folder option, name folder, drag apps to folder,

Exactly!
I too love the home screen the way it is , but if I had the folder system I could employ a utitlities folder on the home screen , drag an app, drop it , pinning is fine too , I like to keep the homescreen limited to apps i use frequently!
The grid system would be a killjoy. It would require more hunting. With multiple apps in line you are not only reading the first letter as you are with WP7, I can scroll through my apps, see the letter and stop, with android I had to scroll through my apps, see the letter, read through the next 2 rows to find it... with WP7, much quicker. Plus it would just make it uglier.
A grid wouldn't serve many of us. With them ou need to keep looking for icons instead just the application names as in WP7 applications list.
Folders should be a neat addition. You have a folder in there, TAP and then a list like a contextual menu appears and TAP the app. This, without living the applications list would a be a great addition.
Also, adding search capabilities to the list is a much needed feature.
Hi,
In the Pictures application on WP7 there is an share option, wich opens Google, Hotmail, Messaging...etc. Is there a way to add my application to this menu?
Tnx
up ! I have also this problem
Check Picasa Metro. That app support Pictures application but you must run first Picassa. In app you can add, edit, delete photo, edit albums and more.
I i want to delete InfiniteView.apk, is this needed for anything?, and what it is for, i believe is a higher resolution and animated visualization mode for the contacts, but if i want the contacts in plain mode and save space and memory, can i delete it without problems?
thanks
the the little "infinity" logo u get when u press on a contacts picture, and it shows up all of there info, like extra numbers, emails, address, stuff like that. by all means get rid of it, but u wont be able to see or edit contact details without it (i think)
No you can't, without it you wont be able to select a contact to call I believe; I removed it a few months ago and you can restore it after you remove it so I suggest you download titanium backup and then try using it.
Thanks
Yeah, it definitely messes up your contacts and stops you calling from them.

whay about facebook in infinite view, if i delete facebook, will there be unusable facebook icons on infiniteview?
You can delete anything Facebook. As long as you don't need Facebook. Before flashing any ROM I always delete Facebook stuff. You can always install the app from the market and move it to your SD card, but you won't have any integrated stuff. Or just use your browser.

i mean because i opened infiniteview.apk and saw facebook icons there, if i dont have facebook installed, does this icons appear in infiniteview somewhere as buttons or anything?
You can sync your Facebook friends' contact details to your phone's contacts. Maybe that's why there's Facebook icons in there?

Thanks, i wonder if the facebook contacts sync will stop working if i remove facebook integration and i only leave the facebook app.

5 BEST ANDROID APPS TO HIDE PHOTOS AND VIDEOS
1. Hide Pictures Keep Safe Vault - is one of the best apps to lock away your personal pictures and videos with ease. The app makes it effortless to simply store away your videos and photos in a safe vault. The separate gallery is kept hidden from the regular ones. I have used the basic version of the app for a while and it worked perfectly.
2. Gallery Lock (Hide pictures) - is one of the most popular apps around for Android. Almost every friend of mine recommends this free app for daily usage. I was pleasantly suspired to see the robust feature list of this app. Gallery Lock comes with almost every feature you would want from an app that hides photos and videos for you.
3. Hide Something - Photo, Video - With Hide-Something, your public gallery remains available to your friends, family, and coworkers. And your hidden images are only for who can unlock. With Hide-Something, you can customize your gallery when you want to show different photos to different people. With Hide-Something, you can share your photos and videos easily, even hand over your cell phone to others and no worry about your privacy.
4. Gallery Vault - Hide Video&Photo - comes with a simple and understandable interface and a good design. You simply need to move the images to the GalleryVault and they will be kept safe behind a lock code. The app also has the option of making the launch icon hidden; virtually making it completely concealed from your device.
5. Hide Pictures & Videos - FotoX - allows you to store your private pictures and photos in a secret gallery. If you want, you can take a picture directly from the app itself and it will be stored instantly. It is a great way to avoid the extra work of manually selecting pictures and hiding them in a secret vault.
