[Q] Incoming caller Id photos - HTC Rezound

So I read somewhere in the evo 3d threads that someone came up with a script that can be added to the phone that prevents the phone from compressing the caller I'd photos from looking all crappy. Anyone heard of something like that for the rezound? If I change the pics for the contact they look great until I flash a new rom.

[IDEA/REQ] Full Contact Photo On Call Screen

Instead of the little photo box of who is calling you that you make it a full screen 'water mark' background image so it takes up the whole screen when someone calls.
See example attached. I'm not good at photo shop so I tried my best.
Just a thought.

Surely there is a free version/the ability to include it in a rom though..
Yes that would be cool...
full screen app
full screen app works great but it's not free on the android market.
The pictures would be crappy quality? Aren't they only a 96x96 image?

I think you're right.
That app kinda sucks. It doesn't 'explode' the pictures embedded in the contact but rather requires one to 'attach' a new image which is a chore every time I flash a ROM.

u could backup app and data wit titanium or my backup pro (pay app i use) and restore that way if thats the only thing stopping u
Those are workarounds.
Fact is, I already have pictures set for about three hundred contacts thanks to the now new picasaweb feature and I don't want to manually do this over. For the rest Facebook widget automatically assigns images for my contacts. Ideally the app should leverage this already available information rather than creating excess work.

That, and it needs to not downgrade the resolution that was an issue in the past. The Desire build is still doing that...someone calls, the picture is some crappy low quality...barely make out who the person is calling...haha...
Unreal how some many things with Android are broke from Google...good thing all of their money is made from search advertising, because they can't do much else right...rofl..

[Q] Why are call-recording apps so difficult to write?

Can someone please explain, once and for all, why recording incoming audio for calls is so damn difficult? Forget about the legality of it or whatever - my question is purely technical. What are the technical difficulties that a developer runs into when trying to write a call recording app? Particularly for the Atrix?
I've heard that "moto blocks it", but that's not really an answer. Is the driver "hidden" in some way? Is the stream encrypted or something? Is there no API function that exposes the incoming audio stream?
On phones that do successfully record the inbound audio, how is the app doing it, and why does it work on that phone, but not on another? What's different about the platform/software/driver/electronics/etc?
Thanks
Would love to know this as well.

definitely a bump. My bet is that the API is crippled in that area for legality reasons.
Trust me, I'm sure your phone already has plenty of call recording software on it....

Totally bro it like totally records your words and stuff and like saves em on an invisible SD card and the file is 0kb... oh and then if you check your memory to see if it is recording it sends it via the internet... even without a connection!

probably is the legality issue. worried about something being recorded during a conversation that can't legally be recorded.
Can't really imagine any technical difficulty that would prevent it.
If you call me its legal for me to record the conversation. There is nothing illegal about that.

In many jurisdictions, all participants must be aware that a conversation is being recorded, or the recording is illegal.

Thanks for all the replies, everyone, but I'm afraid this post is turning into the legal conversation that I hoped it wouldn't. I'm sure none of us are lawyers, so let's stick to the nerdy technical stuff we're good at.
So just to try to reign the conversation back in; there's gotta be some devs out there who have dabbled in this area before. What are the technical nuances and obstacles in wirting code to record the incoming audio of a phone call?
(Ya, I know about the 'speaker-phone' trick. I'm asking about the incoming audio stream.)

Back to the post..
the Atrix, cannot record calls is because Moto left out a standard Android function from one of the libraries, the libaudio.so file. Supposedly that is the standard way to stream the live call audio (both incoming & outgoing) for Android programming.
Since other Android phones CAN record calls, and since other Android apps do work with multiple other phones--it seems likely that this is a Moto issue and not an "Android" problem. Moto have no comment on the topic other than "we don't make call recording software".
Someone capable of shimming in some new code or writing a driver that can access the hardware will be my hero. in another post I saw someone that was able to bring a driver from another phone and use its functionality to record calls
I would pay good money to record MY phone calls.....
I came across this idea from another board about a "virtual recorder"
Quote:
"For example, maybe we could develop a virtual bluetooth device. Similar to a virtual DVD drive in widows. There's no real physical drive, but the driver makes windows think there is and it can be used to mount ISOs... Well, same concept - make a virtual bluetooth device that android thinks is a physical device, and use whatever existing mechanisms to divert the audio stream to the virtual device. Then of course, the back-end for the virtual bluetooth could simply send the sound back to the handset whilst recording the audio stream."
^^Thats a neat idea. However, I am not sure it is possible to do that given the APIs and the inherent limitations of the platform!
That post about the "other driver" is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=806451
according to him he "Because it wasn't open source, I had to disassemble it in order to write what I wanted exactly."
Also here is a link to android FYI

Is this something that can be corrected with a custom ROM and kernel? I admit to not knowing much about programming for Android and how a lot of that works. I've got some programming experience outside of Android and Linux, and I'd be willing to cross over and work on custom ROMs just for that feature. Like you, I think it's worth it's weight in gold...

3d pic to another 3d phone

how can i lets say take a 3d pic and send it to someone else with a 3d phone?

You can, provided there phone has the software to run it. It's nothing more than a MPO file, a straight take from Nero's 3D format. You can also open the file on a non-3D computer using Nero's software and see it. Note, it WILL look funky, but it does display. I sent a 3D picture to my EVO 4G, it just shows up as a file, nothing more. So if there's an app on the market that support MPO, yes you can.
while viewing the picture in gallery, click on the screen. an icon with a circle and two diverging arrows will show up in the bottom bar. Click on that and scroll down to "mail". It will ask if you want to share it as 3D or 2D. The rest is straight forward.
Try an app called Hoccer, its the most convenient and cool way to transfer files between two phones next to each other. Or Dropbox if its long distance
JPS is classed as the "industry standard" 3D format (by HTC themselves) which is basically a renamed jpg file.
Other 3D phones at the moment are just Optimus 3D and the Sharp one, both of which support the viewing of MPO and JPS files
Also, to view on a PC, just use the freeware "StereoPhoto Maker", you can view any type of 3D file as save out as a different one (e.g. open MPO and save as JPS and vice versa)
Nothing is easy. I figured you could just send the pic to another Evo 3d with no problem. You figured Sprint and HTC would have recoded picturemail to do this. Guess not.

When I send a photo with Handcent to someone, it prompts me for 3D or 2D and warns a compatible display is needed for 3D. Pretty simple ;o)

I complained to HTC about this and the tech said its an mms limitation or some crap like that
Dear Sean R***,
I understand that when you try to share a 3D picture via email or MMS the result is a 2D image. For the text message sharing the image has to meet the requirements of the MMS server, so the phone will downsample the image.
When you email yourself a picture and receive it in the mail program if you can preview it, the image is already fully downloaded and in the download folder on the device. In the GMail program it should give you a separate option to download vs preview. When you open the Gallery and then the All Downloads album are you able to view the content you have emailed in 3D?
Please advise what you see with this specific test. Let me know if you are using the GMail or Mail application when you get the 2d results and I can always run a test on one of our devices for you.

shouldnt have to get a third party app to do this... it's not like 3D is something we, the consumer, added to the phone

Flashable Sprint Visual voicemail for ICS available?

Only thing I'm really missing, hoping someone has found a way to get it working for ICS.

PS. No, I don't want to use Google Voice for this.
F$ck Google voice, I want vvm. If I figure it out, I'll let you know.

I've been with Sprint since the day I got my E4GT on 9/16/2011 and my biggest gripe has been constant problems with their voicemail, regardless of whatever ROM I was running. Did some digging and found out that it's written for them by Smith Micro which has been publishing answering machine apps for years. Unfortunately I am VERY familiar with Smith Micro apps, having tried to use their software with the voice/fax/modems on my desktop PCs. In short, IMHO, Smith Micro software sucks so it's no surprise that it's been a problem with Sprint and Android. I'm praying (seriously) that Sprint has someone else preparing a voicemail app for Ice Cream Sandwich or we all might be moaning about this same thing a year from now.
Glenn
P.S. As I write this, I am running the FB17 beta of ICS on my Epic 4G Touch and the ONLY major app that keeps crashing on me is .... Visual Voicemail ! If/when i find a voicemail app that works with Sprint in ICS, I will announce it to the world (via XDA and my E4GT review on epinions)

Ummm..... OK? Did you bother reading at all first before just trying to get a shot in?
First off it was ripped from an Official Sprint ICS ROM from the *Samsung Epic touch 4g, and isn't Device specific.
Second, this isn't for Video Messaging, it's for the Sprint VISUAL* VOICE MAIL.

Mentioning QIK, which is an app to have a LIVE video conversation, has nothing at all to do with Visual Voice Mail. Visual vmail allows you to see (visually see) a vmail with pause, fast forward and rewind options right on the screen.
I didn't shoot from the hip as you did by mentioning OoVoo, another Video calling app, again which has nothing to do with the topic of this thread.

Wtf are talking about not quoting correctly? I had put an asterisk (*) to highlight my responses to your specific arguments, before "Samsung" to show you that it wasn't Device or Manufacturer specific, and an asterisk between "Visual VoiceMail" to highlight my clarification for your confusion on this topic.
And ACTUALLY... You're still talking about something completely different than the topic of this discussion. I'm sure you can send Video messages using QIK, OOVOO, SKYPE or any other Video calling applications, but you cannot RECEIVE YOUR SPRINT VOICEMAILS FROM MISSED PHONE (PHONE) "PHONE" [PHONE] CALLS, PLAY THEM, SKIP FORWARD/BACK TO REPLAY AND CALL BACK THE PHONE NUMBER.
Flame ON!
Can we just agree that you two are discussing two entirely different systems here?
Thank you for the Visual Voicemail workaround, BTW
OOVOO, QIK, SKYPE and all other video/messaging applications have nothing to do with this particular discussion thread. it concerns the sprint voicemail application that does not seem to work or in many cases is just plain missing if you are using an ICS ROM (Which I am) Thank you again, I ended up installing GV before I saw this thread.
