Does anyone have a solution to fixing the clarity of the contact photos in the phone book? They are very blurry when I place a call or when I am receiving one. I ha e tried resizing the pictures but that did not work. Any other ideas?
Thanks

theyre gonna need more info
which firmware ?
etc.
if ur still on 2.1 or 1.6 then set the photos with mediascape
go to mediascape find photo
choose set as icon pic and then size it and set it. should be more clear.
theres also another way using sony ericsson sync and stuff
cant help you with that. search button
Use search, there is a recent topic on this matter.
Apparently the latest fw allows this if contact pics are assigned via mediacrap

Fast tutorial (only solution):
Sync with SE-site
Log in
Edit contact pics there (best results if pics are 480x480 pixels)
Save
Sync again
Voila!
That works 100%!
BUT
If you're bored to do this , you can also use Full Screen Caller ID to assign pics to contacts by using it's "Override Android Phonebook Contact Pictures" feature. That works as well but you need the full version of it.

You are on the 24 fw, not sure if that is new enough.
I am on the 435 fw and setting mine via mediacrap gives me high quality in contact list and in call.

Get the greek firmware. It has an option in the messaging app for dealing with this.

When I had the greek firmware it had this option to not encode in utf8 (thus doubling the size). This is not there with nordic fw.
As said, handcent SMS is pretty damn good and far superior than the stock SMS app.
Hi to all!
nice to write from Italy to all of you!
I just bought a Dell Streak 5 and I've upgraded to 2.2 version that I found more better and complete compared to the 2.1
I switched from HTC because lately, I was bored because of the lees of the ront facing camera (I use to work a lot on Skype)
the thing thatI noticed that when I receive call, the profile picture is small and very low defined.
Is there a trick to make the definition of that image as the original?
Thanks advanced

Try the Full Screen Caller ID app in the market. It will give you a high res big picture. I cant get it to work on my crappy 1.6 os. Good luck

I use it with 1.6.1 and works fine
Works good on 2.2 as well!
Make sure you get the correct one as one is very hit and miss - Fullscreencallerpro is very stable and works very well.
Excellent picture quality.
Dearest Guys,
I've followed your suggestions and both of your program work with the 2.2
I have to say that they show excellent pictures quality.
Thank you very much for your help

Dear all,
I just had this very idea, wanted to share with you:
1a) Put together SE legacy stuff, that some of us might miss:
- Backup & restore
- Timescape
1b) Bring stuff from new devices, like ARC, for instance:
- Arc launcher
- Any fancy apps you recommend
2) Publish it via xRecovery as an add-on.
We could centralize all efforts here, on this thread. What do you think? Please post the threads, if you have already efforts or results on part of these (I'm just looking into how to crack licensing for the backup ), I will also try to enlist those.
Cheers, arch
PS: this is not an SE blame/hate thread, so please no posts on how much you dislike this or that...
Alpha2 for CM6, download from here:
http://rapidshare.com/files/452882711/se_legacy_alpha2.zip
(alpha1: http://rapidshare.com/files/452780369/se_legacy_alpha1.zip)
Install via xRecovery as a custom zip.
Note: build.prop was edited that manufacturer is 'Sony Ericsson' again.
Features:
- Timescape and backup&restore (thanks to myth999)
status here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=982051
Known issues: backup and restore works fine, for timescape font is too small (not much of a use now)
- Arc launcher (thanks to phoneyericsson and manjeet15)
threads here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=979675 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=973153
Known issues: Tray bar is not visible, blocks are too large, drawer window is vertically somewhat small.
Notes: Also tried the one from fifarunnerr for the Wildfire but it is still buggy also with drawer button alignment.
- Sony Ericsson Sync (by me)
Sony Ericsson account can be used from sync accounts. Also sync is provided as an extra app. Theoretically other SyncML accounts could be also used.
Known issues: Font is black with a black background by account settings. By adding a new SE SyncML only first/last name is editable, no phone numbers (maybe a number from the call could be saved, don't know).
Anyway we can restore our old contacts from sbf backups or from Sony, this is cool anyway (saved my butt aswell). With the new contacts app also vcf export is there, so after an export it could be directly fed to Google contacts, cool aswell.
- Voice search
Works flawlessly.
- Track ID
Known issues: Locked, do not work currently.
Biggest thanks goes to Lef.teris for providing the ARC rom.
Works good otherwise, got one FC from timespace during the whole day. I've seen no degradation of original CM rom.
Testers are welcome.
Cheers, arch
I dunno what's done, but maybe this help ?

This is exactly the point! Could you pass a link on the last version?
(I've seen 2 of them: one has the drawer misaligned, and the other's drawer window is vertically somewhat undersized.)
Cheers, arch
Maybe I'm totally misaligned: too much SE stuff needs to be taken over for some these, don't know. The arc launcher is at least quite standalone.
Just tell me

Sorry D:
Sorry, what I meant is that the point is to centralize these efforts in one thread if possible, here in DEV and also package them together. That way we don't have to manage N threads and check what is the latest, is there an effort to do this or that.

hey arch,
i have managed to crack ''SE backup and restore license'' and it loads now on CM6 mini pro...
but ofcrs its nt fully functional so need to work on it and also sm help
i also got ''timescape'' from xperia arc fully running on any froyo device even non SE devices
however for ldpi devices the text is too small to read so need help there too
u can find the thread under x10 mini themes and apps section titled ''timescape apk edit''
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=982051
Alpha1 uploaded. Thanks to myth for his hard work!
Cheers, arch
Alpha2 is up, if anyone is interested...
why dont you attach the files to the post(click on "edit" button then scroll down until you see a brown bar sayng "additional options"... and them select "manage attachments").... it is easyer to download
archflex when i bring an update i will include the right build.prop for this alpha so you wont need that build.prop anymore and that way it will work on cm6 and cm7 this way only on cm6
will mail you when i've done it (;
thanx owain
having a build.prop with manufacturer Sony Ericsson would really help newbies
there is one funny thing here...
some htc desire users reported timescape + ts widget working fine
apart from that even backup and restore was working for them
if some one here could test sms and contacts backup/restore on a non SE phone then it cld be a boon I guess
Thanks a lot guys!
The resolution the Desire is quite close the Arc (54 pixels difference only ), so at least they could read the Timespace UI
I'm really shocked by the Arc APKs, how SE independent they are, good stuff. Open source, freely distributable, wow: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11677993&postcount=8
Thanks again, arch
But the real problem is starting now.
The new retail arc firmware has locked apps, or apps that cross verify signatures via shareduserids...
trackid is locked too
Though am working on track id at this very moment and hope to over come the lock lol
SE gonna sue me haha
TRACK ID
first goto build.prop
see this line
ro.product.device = U20i
it should be U20i after "=" and capital U20i is not same as u20i
I could get it to work on my 2.1 stock rom
but it doesnt work on CM6, it doesnt seem to be able to connect to the microphone to record audio.
Maybe owain could help here now
if it says couldnt parse package just change permissions to 777 using root explorer then install

are they really? so it's not a mic problem after all, just there is no notification that 'hey, what the hell are you doing?'
could you send where the locking code is? The good thing is that if one app lock is removed, similarly all other apps could be broken.
there ws a file in system/framework called com.xxx.privateapps**.jar
I thought it wld b inteeresting but when I deodexed its class.dex I ddnt get anythng worth it.
so I guess they lock by
1. build.prop entries and
2. signature cross verify using shared ids.
as for new arc firmware best option is to use old arc dump files and not retail ones
as for track id, its nt microphone prob, prob has smthin to do with these files.
useragentprovider.apk
customizationprovider.apk
credentialmanager.apk
well myth999 and archflex its good to see the xda spirit got you and I am happy to see you really dug into all the infos and became a developer yourself now. I really like it when people start helping and still are eager to get to the next step and contribute to the community

I'm running Wolfbreak's TW 007 with custom kernel 3.52 and BB52. I installed from scratch (stock 2.1, then up to TW 007). It's brilliant in every aspect except I can't get Vignette to work. It takes the picture and gives me the preview screen but from there if I try to save, it gives me a VIE error saying it can't create the file. I've tried all options for save location and I've tried all resolutions also, still no love. Has anyone else come across this? Have tried the 2 latest versions of Vignette, and the demo.
same thing for me :/ any1 know anything on this issue?
Also battling with this. Mailed vignette support and they sent a new test version but it also has problems. From what I can see it falls over after it has saved the file. I'm guessing it may have something to do with the gallery as that doesn't get refreshed. If you force a media scan it then picks up the picture in the gallery.
I was also having problems with the LED flash. I played around with various versions of the 3D gallery and suddenly the flash has started working. This is also with the custom kernel. There have been quite a few posts about this in the dev thread, but I need to get to 10 posts before I can add my findings there.
I have a few different versions of the 3D gallery at home which I will try tonight to see if any of them help further.
It seems older versions work better, especially in illimanting flash issues.
Try and find an old backup of the demo version...
i tried the past 3 versions of the full version, and all had same error in processing photo.. i found out it does save them in the folder, just throws an error when processing.
I'll check in the gallery after trying some more photos. Just a prick that we get this error. I'd like to post in Wolf's thread but also don't have my 10 posts up.
thanks for your work on this andypen, I haven't tried any different versions of the gallery, and TBH I haven't bothered trying the LED as yet.
[edit] a couple of questions, how do you force gallery to refresh? just kill the app then start it again?, also, I must be stupid but I can't find the LED control in Vignette [/edit]
The problem has gone in 2011.06.23 version from market.
Sent from my X10a powered by Wolf's TW-007.1 / bb:65 / zKernel / BRA
Also I have the same problem. What could be the solution? Some speak of the core of the 3D Warehouse, other processing before storing the photograph, and so on.
What if, I can not make Vignette function properly.
I tried 4 different versions of this application, but still has the same processing error when trying to save the picture, so I concluded that this ROM is not correct for the operation of Vignette.
Please someone who has a possible solution?
Greetings!

If you don't have the problem, what's your settings?
this is infuriating...
I have found a possible solution to the vignette saving error. Instructions here
Have any of you contacted the developers of the vignette app and asked if they can rerelease an older version that works.
I have version 2010 - 11 - 04.3 which has worked on all versions of wolfs rom with all custom kernels.
I have a backup up of this but can not share it as it is paid app.
But I am sure the devs of the app will help once they know about the issue
Maybe it's an issue of the 3.52 kernel? i'm on wolf's tw071 rom, with zkernel and the latest version of vignette, fully functional.
No its nothing to do with the kernel....
I have had vignette working on all the 3.4 and 3.5 kernels with wolfs rom.
And now with z's new kernel and BB67.
Just email the devs of the app and ask them for an old version!!!

PS...I have just sent the following email to the devs of vignette
Hello,
I was wondering if you could help a lot of people out.
I am writing this on behalf of a lot of users of the SE x10i who use custom roms from the XDA developers site.
As you may be aware the camera on these roms does not support flash light or zoom, the only way to implement that was through vignette and developers of these custom roms often pointed users to your app in order to get zoom and flash on the camera.
However, with the latest versions of vignette the flash and zoom also seem to be not working but those of us with older versions still have full functionality.
Would it be possible for you to re-release older versions in the market for those people who use custom roms on x10.
I have the november 2010 version and it works fine.
This would be a great help to everyone at XDA who uses the x10i.
I look forward to your reply.
PS, i have copied this email to the xda website.
Regards

Here is the response from the developers of the app to my email.
Hi Greg
Some older releases of Vignette can be found on our website at
http://sites.google.com/site/neilandtheresa/Vignette/releases
If you can provide us with any information that would allow Vignette
to detect whether it was running on an X10 with such a ROM (e.g. the
contents of android.os.Build.VERSION.INCREMENTAL and
android.os.Build.DISPLAY), we might be able to solve the problem for
you.
Thanks,
Neil.
Hope this helps you all out.

Hi Guys,
my problem is, that on my Sony Xperia P LT22i, idipendently of the way of syncing, contact pictures won't show up during run / accepted calls, only by the contact itself.
I already tried to assign pictures in Contacts, or by synchronising with Google, Picasa, or through PC Companion. I tried pictures with low and high res, with 72dpi and 180dpi, with/without EXIF data, edited by Gimp, Paint or Microsoft Picture Manager, or loading up originals taken by Canon Powershot or EOS, or even by Xperia itself. I tried again and again, deleting all contacts and synchronising again, without result.
OS is an Android 4.0.4, build 6.1.B.0.544.
I actually won't like to use 3rd party Android apps, i'd do it with the built in way.
I would appreciate any help. Thanks in advance,
Peter
Hi peter. In which way do you want your pictures sync ? Tell me and I'll try it to help you

Hi ilgreco,
thanks for your answer.
The best way would be actually the common way, by assigning pictures to contacts in Contacts, either choosen from Gallery (of pictures shot by Xperia itself), or from any folder/image copied to Xperia from my notebook. Right now none of the above and earlier mentioned methods is working.
Thank you for your help in advance,

Not even with JB
Hi out there,
meanwhile, last week, I upgraded to Jelly Bean (unbranded, 6.2.A.0.400), but the problem remained the same. I have to use a 3rd party app (without advertising) to get this option.
Has anybody an idea, what could be wrong?
Thanks,
