Is there a text/sms app with this feature? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am looking for a texting/sms app which will show the contact image as a transparent backdrop/wallpaper for conversations with that contact. I have inadvertently texted messages to incorrect recipients and I think such background image will correct such mistakes.
I looked at few, but could not find this capability.
If such feature does not exist, which applications are likely to take this as a worthwhile suggestion?
Thanks

Google Hangouts
Try Google Hangouts. It shows contact image to the left side of each message.

Thanks .. I am using samsung's messaging app and it also does the same .. What I want is transparent image overlay on the conversation of the contact's image.

Handcent is what you want .. on google play

Thanks dk0dave! I would have liked if I could add transparency to the picture ..
I am also looking at yaata which has similar features. One of those should work out for me.

Group contact images

Hey, hope someone can help with this... I have assigned a couple of images to 'groups' in contacts. But when I send a text to the group I still get the default HTC group icon image.
Pics attached are groups with 2 images

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Then text message thread sent to group 'Dudes'
I remember with my old HTC DHD when flashing Rom's the contact images would sometimes vanish, the fix was something to do with permissions, that you could fix by entering some lines in a terminal emulator. Although I can't find the fix now. Any ideas anyone!

Anyone? I'm a bit OCD when it comes to things like this... I'm not sure I can cope! Can anyone recommend a good counsellor instead?

Possible to remove icon text but keep unread count? [stock touchwiz]

I've used Desktop VisualizeR & QuickShortcutMaker to create app shortcuts (with the name as a blank space) for most of my apps. However there a couple of "live" shortcut icons like Messaging that don't respond well to that technique. Is there another way to achieve what I describe in the above image?

If you are rooted, Nottach Xposed has an option to disable the names: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2293956. It's under 'Launcher>Hide dock app labels'.

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately I'm unrooted and that's not going to be happening very soon since I updated the firmware.

Translate
Magnify
Glance
SOURCE
After trying out a model in the store, I don't understand the glance feature. It kept telling me to open an app but I had a bunch of apps running in the background. Then I finally got one little thumbnail of an app that was open and I could hover to get a preview of it but I couldn't get a second one to do that. I thought it would be like all of your open apps would be thumbnails and you could glance at them? I don't think I'll be using that feature much. It just didn't seem handy or helpful. Maybe I need to play with it more. Did anyone else try it yet or understand it?
For the record, magnify and translate are brilliant.

Changing Default Dialer

i am out on the road for 12 hours a day and i have always had issues with Nexus Dialer or This phone dialer app that comes with Xperia XZ1.
The reason is because my screen is always on navigating and when i receive a call, a little pop up windows pops up, i have to click on it to make it full screen and then swipe from bottom and choose a custom message to reply with text. it is not convenient while driving,
i had iphone 6s before this for 3 months and the only feature i miss from that phone is its simple click to answer or reject a call with a text with less steps.
i tried many dialers in google play but i cant make any of them default dialer because making them default don't work. is there anyway i could achieve this without root?
you just have to go to default apps in the applications sub-menu.
