[Q] Dialer / contact default picutre - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

How do I change the default contact picture?
Such as unknown calls and for people that do not have a picture set.
My old Aria used to have a picture of an Android robot. I miss the robot. It is much better than the Atrix's gray outline of a person.
Thanks!

In gallery do menu>more>set as
You can also set pics by facebook twitter or myspace in settings>accounts

Dialer One not importing all Contacts

I Have a Droid 2 running Fission 2.5.7, and I'm using Dialer One as my default dialer. For some reason I can't seem to figure out, Dialer One will only show 153 of my 545 contacts. There's no option that I can see to refresh or import other contacts. They all show up in the default dialer under contacts, but not on Dialer One. Any ideas?
I have found that an applied filter based on groups will be active with ALL programs that use the contact list. I use Better Contacts and groups from Google are transferred in. If I have a group filtered, say to "Personal" it will only show those in Dialer one even if using the filter in Dialer one. And on top of that! Dialer one has its own filter selection based on the groups that DOES NOT get passed to the other Contact Apps.
Hope this helps.

How to clear the default picture viewer?

I have chompsms and I completely forgot what client I set to view pics with but when I look at pics that someone sends me mms they look super small. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
well they will generally always look small if you view the picture from the message since most phones resize images to minimize the amount of data that needs to be transferred for the MMS.
So the best way to view pictures from pic messages is to long-press the picture and select Save to SD Card or whatever it says
then
go to Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications
and go to Gallery and Clear Defaults
if you have any other gallery applications, like QuickPic, do the same for that.
then when you click the picture it should ask which gallery you want to use to view it.
i recommend using QuickPic since the stock Gallery on 4.5.91 Android 2.3.4 is awful.

[Q] Anyone knwo where I can get the first "favorite contacts" widget?

I just had to reinstall the latest software on my Xperia P, and now I am missing the "favorite contacts" widget. the one that is one line, with four contacts, but you can scroll it to find the other favorite contacts. anyone know where I can get my hands one this widget?
btw: I found out it has been replaced with a widget called "TOP CONTACTS". however I really don't like this. as it is 4 static contacts (can't scroll like I used to, to see more contacts, much the same way as the album widget) also, it's looks horrible, with TOP CONTACTS in big letters and the pictures are boxed in.
- Tried a 3rd party app, still not the same functionality.
- Also found an old widget someone posted, but this is the top contacts and call logs, its a 3x4 square widget. and I still want the 1x4.

Better album viewer than stock or QuickPic?

The stock gallery app annoys me as it does a lot of people with the FB portion, but what also annoys me is how it arranges the photos in my albums. I like QuickPic because I can arrange my photos in my albums from the app, but I cannot send an MMS from that app. Is there an app that will allow me to send MMS from within the app, and also serves as a good album viewer?

Try Just Pictures.
I like it as much as quick pic. I think you can share from it.
Just downloaded it, looks very nice. When I try to send it as MMS there it gives me a list to share the picture, but the text icon is not listed in there.
I just downloaded Gallery ICS, which is the older style i prefer from AOSP

Same problem as the stock gallery app in that it arranges my pictures weird.
Not for me.. it just puts them in different folders (based on actual folders in the drive), and arranges from newest to oldest. I hate how sense separates them into date folders

Which dialer?

Hi,
I've been using exdialer for three years now, but lately I got tired of it. Its main problem for me is that it does not seem to replace completely the stock dialer. Each time I get a call, the background colors are the same light ones used by the stock dialer and also the caller ID photo does not cover the entire screen. Is there any more modern dialer? I'd like someone better integrated, with more complete theming options and a full caller ID picture. Feel free to post a screenshot,if possible. Thanks!
