[Fix]Contact Pics for Handcent on ICS - HTC Amaze 4G

Okay, I got annoyed enough with handcent not showing my contact pics so I googled how to fix it and found this from the rezound forums. It's way easier than it might seem.
Download the files from the link here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24187839&postcount=6 and extract them. Now follow the instructions on the link here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24242762&postcount=22
I used terminal emulator on my phone for the commands, and copied the long string of text from the browser and pasted it into terminal emulator after running "cd system" then "cd xbin" then "chmod 777 sqlite3" (obviously with no quotes anywhere)
Hopefully this is helpful, I haven't seen anyone post something like this yet. And I take no credit, except for my awesome googling skills
Edit: Sorry, I forgot to mention this is on the new ICS leak.

Doesn't work for me when I try this, it just says it can't load the libnscurses.so file

I discovered that contact pics will start working in the messaging app if you update the picture from your phone, the problem seems to be that it won't display any picture that was taken from a google contact.

Bummer. I used root explorer to copy the two files, then ran all the commands and it worked first try. Maybe change permissions using root explorer? I changed mine to make sure they matched the other files in the respective folders.
Yea, updating every contact manually would be a pain though...

I only have like 30 contacts so its not to big of a deal.

Awesome, this worked on mine, thank you!

worked great!! thanks!!

This also works on the Sensation XE so thanks!

Please keep all fix/apps in the "apps & themes" section. Please take a few minutes to.read the rules. Failure to comply will result in an infraction.

My bad, I had no idea since it wasn't an app or theme at all, and it was just taken from another forum. Either way, thanks for cleaning things up.
And to the sensation user, I would assume this works on most HTC ICS phones that have the issue since it originated in the rezound forums.

I've been trying to find this fix since sense 3.6

Can confirm this works on CapRom CE as well, did it word for word the way it was posted in the OP and it worked like a charm. thanks!

will this method work with moto razr?

i used both adb and terminal emulator cause i wasn't sure if i was doing i correctly but in the end it turned out to work! thanks lots. finally my GO SMS has pictures!
and yep it does seem to work on all 3rd party apps

There is an App now for this on the Marketplace
unlocker app http://www.1mobile.com/photo-unlocker-160330.html it worked wonders for me! I would see if this helps you
Chronic

If your contacts are linked all you have to do is open up facebook go to your list of friends and scroll through them all until their thumbnails pop up and then close out of handcent and it will refresh the pictures

Android Market Apps Gone?

Since the Last Two Market Updates, has anyone noticed that there's a Limited amount of Apps that get Shown when Typing in the SearchBox... Even though its says that there's about 3000+ apps to choose from!
For Instance I Typed "ROOT" as my selected word to search, and with the Old Market there would be Dozens to look through, but Now its Definitely a Shortened List...
Anyone Experience this?

I flashed a nandroid back to 2.3.3 stock from cleanrom just to use the old market for the bill to my account option, could of been a result from cleanrom, could be my noob status(learning new stuff daily thanks to xda) however either way it goes the old market rocks, and Google only reveals failed attempts at making the old market stick when trying to revert from the new one, the apps suggested above are the best bet at using old market. The new market seems to be a step backwards

That's right friends, if you've been holding out on the Tapatalk app to become free somewhere, you're in luck. Today (I'm not sure and I think today only), Tapatalk is free.
This will allow the users of the free xda many new features, browsing multiple forums, and all free (p.s. you can thank people with this version)
Sadly, it requires you to download the getjar market app to install, but thats just a minute long irratation, nothing major. So for all those who want it, get it now!!

You don't need to save the download.. You can back it up with an app like Titanium Backup or send the apk to your dropbox..

You have two options, 1. titanium backup, which stores the app and all its data on the sdcard for immediate restore. What crump told you to do was to make this backup and place it on dropbox. Dropbox is a free (for 2gb, upgradeable with offers to 8gb) file hosting server. It works as a folder in windows, linux, mac, that you can drag and drop files to and have them synced to any of these devices at once. Great for vacation files, and keeping track of important files (like the tapatalk backup for instance) If you want to try this out, sign up with this: http://db.tt/8SjkWkMO (if you use this, give both me and you an extra 250 mb to our accounts free )
2. Use a backup app (such as astro file manager) the advantage to this method is you can install this file again without root, the downside is you don't keep your data, just the app itself, so you'd have to login everytime you changed roms. But again, no need for root, like if you upgrade to an unrootable device. This backup can also be stored on dropbox if you so choose.
Hope this helps
(P.S. Sign up with this http://db.tt/8SjkWkMO)

Yeah, google won't put alternate markets in theirs for download. Makes it harder for their competion to get noticed. You have to get the apk from getjar.

I don't understand what you are getting at, I have sideloaded 25+ apps on my Nook HD and I havent had a problem yet?
Are you asking people to post working .apks? Cause thats a long, long list...
I just use Astro File manager (anything that backs up apps would work) on my phone, drag the .apks to my computer and sideload them via adb to my Nook HD... Takes a little longer than downloading .apks from some site, but this way they are directly from the play store.
Ok That's great that you have found a way to easily install apk files to your nook, yes, my intention was to get a long list of apps that work nook that way future users don't have to scour the internet searching for apps. I understand your point, I know some people don't see the logic in helping others, I get that. I am sorry you don't understand good natured intent.

You may have a good point there, also if the latest version of an app doesn't work see if we can try older versions to see if those work sometimes older versions can be compatible while newer versions are not.

adventures of tintin doesn't wrk on nook hd+
I side loaded it' it opens up and then says device isn't compatible. Any suggestions?
What do you mean by "side loading" because side loading means using ADB to push install apk files. You have to have your nook rooted, and have flashed the zip that gives you the ability to install from unknown sources. If you are trying to flash it, through CWM, that won't work on this tablet. All you have to do is install it as you would any other apk file that you have downloaded no need to "side load"

Hi, I have never used comixology but from what i understand it tries to do specialized zooming from panel to panel as you said, I am not sure if it is preset by the authors or if it tries to use a algorithm to decide it, anyway non of that really matters, no manga watcher just show full pages on screen and you can choose zoom width, zoom height, of zoom page. it also has the option for dual pane in landscape. I will say it is one of the smoothest comic readers i have used almost as good as komik. Again thoughit doesn't do any speical zooming from panel to panel and i honestly think that might be choreographed by a person on comixology.

You're also running an apk not made for your device. It may depend on other apps/resources that you don't have installed.
I'm a big s-voice hater, but I don't think you can judge the new version based on what you have.

I can confirm that Samsung turned off the server because I had it on my S3 over a week ago and it worked. They got wind it was being used and pulled the plug til release.

I saw a thread that had the keyboard apk, just search for s4. I would do it to post the link but I'm on my phone and we all know how useful the search function is on the app
EDIT: I forgot I bookmarked it

If you would read the few posts of this thread, samsung turned off the server. To get the old one back re flash your rom.

I did read that and I have flashed from beans build 11 to 12 and I still have the s4 s voice
Should be able to just pull the old apk from another Rom, uninstall the current one and install the Note 2 version.
