Probably more of a general Android question, but thought I'd give it a go here. On way to work shortly, so apologies for my lack of proper search.
Once upon a time on my SGS, someone showed me where these icons are located - I'm sure I'll find them again, but I guess I'll have to do some kind of text realignment, which is probably out of my depth.
I just want my contacts to show as a list - no icons, no photos.
Stock KE2, rooted via CWM, have Root Explorer.
Many thanks to anyone who can point me in the right direction - will do further research when I get to work.

Might not be what you want but you could replace the image with a blank one in the framework or twframework file.

No. Pictures(res\drawable-hdpi-finger\contacts_default_image_small_01 - 05.png) are in Contact.apk file. When I remove'em from it - empty spaces remain there - so it's not expand Contacts lines to that space... So we need to encrease table row size...
Well, the contacts db is located here:
/data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/databases/contacts2.db
I don't know how you plan to decipher this file. It's neither xml nor plist (like iphone).

I just checked go contacts ex and it can do what you want via a setting. Works very well.

Click to expand...

The contacts2.db is a sqlite database file. You'll need the sqlite3 executable to view it's contents (eg. sqlite3 contacts2.db).
Don't think it'll do what the OP wants as it contains contact details and not the layout of the contact list. Think you'll need to decompile the apk and edit one of the drawable/*.xml files.
Haven't really looked at this but a guess would be it's one of the .XMLs in res/laout in the Contact.apk where you can edit out the imageview for the photo.
Yep, looks like it's in res/layout/favorite_contact_list_item.xml
Someone's reading my mind - I was thinking of bumping this thread last night... spooky!
As suspected, I'm out of my depth here - but thanks for the replies everyone, I may try to get back into my depth over the weekend. It's one of those not-really-a-big-deal-but-it-still-bugs me things.
Just switched from adw to Go launcher. Not a fan of 3rd party apps for contacts/SMS, but I'll give it a look.
Thanks again to all.
I tried GO launcher. Wasn't a fan of it. Anyway on ICS these picture icons are even more of a pain! Why do you need a picture of yourself next to every text you send in the thread!?!? And why do you need a picture of the person you are texting next to their text. Have a picture of the person on the list of threads fine.... but not in the thread itself thats stupid and takes up to much screen space.
Who wrote that into ICS? Not an improvement!
Has anymore found a way to change it in ICS?
the text looks horribly jagged and aliased on this phone, there must be a way to fix because when I installed MIUI, the text is far better , clearer and anti-aliased.
is there a fix for the non-miui roms that anyone know?
many thanks
Search for "voodoo screen tune" in the market. You need to be rooted for it to work.
Thank you for the help, I tried it but this program appears to be a fix for banding issue. It didn't work anyway.

Moving to Q&A
Hi,
im using cm10.1 at huawei g300 and im missing some feature in stock sms app - maybe it's strange, but i really like it, it's simple and has almost all features which i need. Almost. I have problem with sending sms to a group, i have to write concacts separately, and there is no other way to do this. Below is screen from other (also stock?) sms apk (the dark one) and there is a "people" button, after click u can choose from your contacts more than one person.
In my phone it look's like at attached screenshoot - im missing button in place which is marked with red almost-circle. So is it possible to get that "people" button? Something in settings or maybe modded app? I couldn't find anything. And the reason why i don't have that button atm - it's because of CM rom or just google has removed it or...?
Thanks in advance for answers ("Install Go-sms/chomp/handcent." is not the answer - i know that way:>)
Sorry for my english
And sorry, if wrong section.
I have a VZW Note II so I can't install the full leaked 4.3 ROM, but I did install the 4.3 camera/gallery. I have a quick question about it.
On the bottom left corner when looking at an image in the gallery on the old APK, the Edit button is three overlapping circles. On the new APK, it is a pencil icon. When tapping on the button in the new APK, it crashes Gallery, and I assume it is because it has different dependencies for the new API level.
I was wondering if anyone has noticed any changes with edit features in the gallery other than the new icon. Since I can't get the Edit options to open, I can't check for myself.
I would post screenshots to show both icons (I have both APKs installed at the same time on my DD) but I am installing different ROMs right now in what appears to be a futile attempt to regain Google Wallet xD
Thanks in advance,
Opalelement
No, I like the Samsung overlay to be honest! Although I did install the photosphere APK xD
