Hi all,
I noticed it is possible to use an animated GIF as an image using Photo Contacts.
The default animation when somebody calls (the yellow-orange phone image) seems an animated GIF to me, but I wasn't able to find it in the file system.
I thought, using this image as a Photo ID, I am able to increase the font size of the caller notification window used by Photo Contacts.
Does anybody knows where to find this image (if possible), or knows a good animated GIF replacement to use whith Photo Contacts?
the orginal files/gifs can be found at
\My Documents\IA Caller ID Photos
the .DEF files are renamed gif files...
Thanx alot!
font size
Can you tell us in details how you managed to change the caller id font size?
why not take a look here... and here...

Start menu > Programs > Photo Contacts
Then, for every contact, set the background image to whatever image (I renamed the CONTACTS.DEF file to a contacts.gif file), and associate every contact with this image.
Then you can specify the Caller ID format, including font, size and color
It is a workaround, but it works for me
Animated gif
I know this is an old thread but i am still using my xda 2s with windows 2003se.
i have installed photo contacts pro 5.8 and it is working welll but i am unable to get it to play any animated gifs.
Whenever i assign a photo it seems to change it to a jpg,Anybody got any advice,i have been searching for ages for an answer to this
If i install caller id by htc that will play gifs so i assuming its a problem with photo contacts pro.
I want the kewl homescreen plugin that shows the caller photos and where i can search my contacts from my homescreen on my phone. anyone know of a place i can get these from?
are there apps out there that offer animated photo caller IDs?
and before i get scolded.... i did try to do a search in different forums here and found nothing. ;-)

How to get a Bigger or Full Screen picture for Caller ID? The Default one is pretty small.
There is no application? pls rep something
Have you tried some of the other Panels? Maybe spb or even the touchflo3d could have bigger caller pictures..
They do, but the resolution stinks...TF3D just blows up the little tiny picture bigger which is crap...
S2U2 has an option for enabling full-screen caller ID, but it stretches the tiny Windows Contact pic so it looks awful.
Oh god! This is so bad. There is not a single software? Shame on WM
There are several alternatives;
S2u2 as mentioned above, (set the contact pic using S2V btw, scales properly that way). Available in the Dev & Hacking section of this very forum.
As is iCaller http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=450187
Commercially theres
Phonex and Photo contacts pro both are really nice apps.
The manilla dialer is my favourite, and one reason why I tend to install it on most devices.. The blackstone one doesn't do fullscreen but it is much better than stock, and a nice slidey answer button.
There's probably more, but as you don't seem to want to search for them I won't either..
But the first find in GOOGLE comes up with these..

Not if you use S2v to assign picture to contact. It looks great on my X1.
Home of S2U2, S2P and S2V

Ahhhh! Did not know that, good idea
Though I'm using "Fonebook" to sync Facebook pictures down to my Outlook contacts... I guess I have to pick one, huh.
I`m just testing out Photo Contacts Pro. The Photos are still crapped..to far to much compression noise...yes i reasigned them from the orignal source imagaes.
Ist Phonex looking better?
Ok found the settings to increase photo quality. 400 x 400 pixel and still a lot of compression artefacts...it has to be better...
Photo Contacts Pro is having a problem sending SMS...i get the message "this sms message cant be sent" anyone any idea what to do about it?
I like the SMS editor from photocontacts..larger buttons and all that stuff...
