First off, I want to say that this is an AWESOME ROM. Every version keeps getting better and better. Much thanks neobuddy!
I had a question about this latest version. In the Gallery, it seems to have synced with either Picasa or Google+. I turned off the sync option in the settings but there's still some unwanted albums there including a couple that I'm not sure where or what they are because they're empty. Anyone know how to disable, hide or delete these albums from the Gallery? Usually there's a hide feature but I can't seem to find it in this version.

Just as title asks, i know that motoblur on photon has the social networking widgets and that stuff. Biggest question is, i currently have a stock rom and have my facebook sync'd to my phone and it combines my contact list with facebook and blah blah, anyways i like how i have my contact photos syncing with facebook. IF i flash to CM7(or any blur-less rom) will i lose this? Or will i still be able to sync my facebook into my phone and have my contacts and contact photos sync together like it is now? Not the end of the world if it doesn't, just want to find out any possible downside before flashing anything.
blur is nothing but bells and crap. flash cm7 and you have settings to choose to integrate social networks or not. I have CM7 and i have it to sync contacts to pictures so they show up with latest pix when they call. I can confirm that it works.

i believe you still can integrate the facebook contacts via CM7 i might be wrong on this one, but its the facebook app that can still offer that as well, like the things you would lose is like the stock music app, any moto apps really since they are built into the framework, settings will be a little different, theme customization will be different as well, sometimes it can free up and even speed up your phone by removing even more bloat. one thing i cant live without is the stock moto music player. i really do like it but its built into the framework so i cant move it over to cm7 im hoping i can figure out a workaround for that one
Hi everyone,
Got a little prob if you guys can help.Namely when i recieve or send calls the contact pic (either from Google or FB sync) are really pixelated ,because they're low resolution,how can i force them to be bigger?
P.s. i've alredy tried alternate dialer apps and am not satisfied with them,nor do i wish to use a 3rd party app.

Im actually looking for the same thing... but do allow me to ask the question in my manner.
Currently, on ICS, each time we manually set the contact pics, the reso turns pretty good. It stays that way UNTIL i flashed/wiped everything and restore from google. Where the picture seems to be resized and presented in a horribly pixelated image.
Question is, is there any way that i can alter my google account so that it saves the high reso contact images? i know of some backup programs that does this, but its pretty annoying sometimes that google auto restores my contacts and the stock contact app on ICS has very limited feature in batch management of contacts. Also, i prefer stock phone because by far, its much more speedy than most 3rd party phone apps. Its a pretty annoying process to just install another manager and re-edit each time i flash.
Google wont provide u with high resolution pics... the reason is that there are some phones that have ~50-100mb free internel phone Memory by default...
If they Sync High resolution pics then those who have thousands of contacts will have no internal memory left as Contacts+pics would consume all of space...
Ah that explains it...
But is there a way to cache the images from the google acc in my phone?
P.s. i found a somewhat solution,an alternate FB app calles Friendcaster that has the option to sync High res.pics,i say somewhat,because it works for some pics and not for others :-/

ive been using friendcaster for awhile, one of the best FB replacement app and does things way better than stock FB app. One of the worth-going-pro on my list.
Then again, not all of the contacts are in FB...
Picture resolution fixed!

It seemed to be fixed for JB. I haven't tried it though!
BTW I was using FB Contact Sync app from play store and it worked super well when I was on CM 9.1. But now I have moved to another ICS ROM and lost all the pics and the low-res pics got synced
Since upgrading to ICS, I noticed that my AT&T Note battery has been suffering. Using BetterBatteryStats, I noticed that there is a process that caused "Partial Wakelock" for hours: com.coliris.picasa.contentprovider.
Based on my research (there's not much infor BTW), it has to do with Picasa syncing with the Gallery app. This was documented in Google Bug list (http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=24145) but that's it.
I wonder if anyone have any experiences on this and how to fix this issue. I DO want Picasa sync on my phone, but not at the expense of the battery life.
I'm not familiar with the Picasa app, but is there anything in Settings that allows you to set the sync interval, to perhaps Daily?
Picasa is the web-based photo sharing application, part of the Google products like GMail, etc.
The "Gallery" application in AT&T Note ICS have a built-in feature to sync pictures in the phone to your Picasa account and vice versa. Under Settings --> Accounts and Sync you will see "Sync to Picasa", among others like "Sync Gmail", etc.
So no, I cannot reduce the number of syncing. For now I am disabling this completely just to see what would happen, but wondering if anyone came across this..or even use Picasa.
I just about choked.....I thought the title said something else!!!!! still LMFAO!!!!!
Hi All,
I use to have the option sync with Picasa under google account but it is no longer there. I also no longer see it under my Gallery neither. I am currently on JB 4.1.1 I605VRALL4. Any one know how I can get this back? I know there are many other 3rd party that I can use to view my Picasa pics but I like to have under Gallery if all possible. TIA.
never mind, I found my answer, it is automatically synced and the option is under google plus I believed.
Hi! I'm running MeanROM currently, might switch soon, been thinking about Smooth Criminal.
The ROM came with the "people" app, but it's broken; the join option does not show up, so I can't combine duplicate entries, which is annoying. Is there a newer version of People I can find someplace? Can I use the Contacts app instead? Is there a place to get that? With ROMs that have a working 3D camera, what are my options?
My preference is for something that will not try to sync contacts with google, facebook, memotoo clouds, or other places not under my control...
Thanks for any clues...
