Call wallpaper or whatever its called - JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General

I pretty much debranded my T-Mob compact but when someone calls, the T-Mob pink and white square pops up as the caller wallpaper if you see. Anyone know how to change this, I like the choice and not being dictated to by T-Mobile.

Look at this thread I created some time ago. I have created some gifs that you can use.

That's excellent, thanks very much kta !

If these better match your theme, just copy these GIFS to your PPC (anywhere, I put in mine in Storage Card) and then go to Photo Contacts -> Tools -> Set Default Photos and change the defaults from there. Make sure you keep the original size (218x72).
Graphics, size and speed are exactly the same as the original!

Just copied the originals to PC and with a GIF animator I got the 2 seperate files for each animated gif, re-coloured them and used the GIF animator again to create the new animated gifs.
Any way possible to change the last one that has that generic Smartphone with our beloved magician? That would be sweeet!

Looking for Photo Dialer for Ultimate Launch.

I'm trying to find a today plugin that will allow me to have a panel on my UL that just has photo dial pictures.
So it really just needs to be a nice today plugin that is a photo dialer..Anyone?
what you can do is create your own link and make your own photo icon
I created the photo icons myself so that the frame matches my theme...
I also use this program called "go2contact" that allows you to open up the contact screen via command line...
thanks got go2contact to work and it brings me to the contact page so i can pick what number to dial or sms whatever...thanks
hey,
i also was looking for a photo dialer plugin and i found a plugin that was from the Treo 700w that works great on my Kaiser. It allows you to have a row of photo contacts and then also add more contacts without photos underneath if you prefer. for more information and to download the plugin go to

Put it will be 3 tab to 5 contacts.
why dont you al make a fotodialer tab just with ul ? you just need the makecall.exe from daniel who created UL:
www.ultimatelaunch.de. you find it on the left side. its a a part of "smartutilities". put it on your phone make under command a link to that. under "params" you just write the phonenumber. thats it, and so easy.
this is one is good

i liked this one. nothing much to do. just add the contacts..
Thanks for the info guys I really like those dialers they are nice but the only thing is the pics are just a bit smaller then what I would like but it may have to do..
thanks again
I still haven't found one that does exactly what I want... i'm going to attempt to make my own using UL author's Smartapps dialer app... Course with that, I have to make my own ICO files... time to take some photos of people.

This is a bit of a digress... any such utility to create short cut for SMS? Now I'm using Mort Button. But I like how UL works. Would prefer not to 'launch' another application.

Just download the program like he said. You create your own icons, and bam, done! it works very well. I'm using it...
thanks for the dialtab program! works great for ul!
Well I decided to create my own icons.. so i used photos (photoshop elements) in .jpg format and saved them in irfanview as .ico format, but UL won't open them. Can someone tell me which icon/graphics program I can use that will convert other formats to *.ico format?

people pictures

hi where can i get some nice people pictures ie size.all the pictures i put for people look bad very bad i think i need the right size?.thanks
make sure that the pic has horizontal/vertical resolution of 96 dpi and they all look good. size doesn't matter that much
I've some which are 72 dpi and they look dull.
best way,
open the picture in the touchflow album, from there you can add it to your contact.
It will be auto resized and look sweet.
try downloading icons file in png format (fm 128*128 to 512*512 no difference), the same as linux uses... they work great!
thanks for the fast help

bye
if you're having problems with the contact pics looking unsharp (blurred), then try adding them to the contact directly from the tf3d (on the people tab, right softkey "menu" and "change picture"), that worked for me perfectly, now all the pics are crisp.

Where are contact pictures saved?

I transfered all of my contacts and contact pictures over from my blackjack 2 to my X1. I installed TF3d, and the contact pictures are very low quality looking. But to get them to have a high quality look, u have to change the picture from within TF3D itself. So being that I don't have these pictures saved to my phone anymore, I would like to know where contact pictures are stored on the X1 (since the contact pictures still do exist somewhere) ?
inside the contact itself i think.
but thats not a problem of the contact pictures itself, its a problem of TF3D. it scales all thos pictures down (and looses tons of quality) unless they have a certain format / size.
it's not a problem with TF3d It's a problem with outlook, it only saves very low-res images within the contact database.
far too low a resolution to appear at a decent quality on our gorgeous Hi-res screens, after all these images are according to MS supposed to be a tiny thumbnail..
If you have Hi-res images on the blackjack then dump them to a folder, and load them from there. If not then I'm afraid you'll have to do what I did. Get new photos..
if thats true, how comes that the Contact pictures of my Mates touch HD are sooo much better!?

Did he upgrade them off another device?
If not then that's probably why, the ones I transferred across from my uni via the athena are really low quality.But the ones off the X1 are fine.
But I've had most of them for so long I've got so used to them that I couldn't get on with some changed ones.
nope! not upgraded!
just did a test with his phone. i ordered him to do a picture in the Contact size (240x320) and snd it to me.
i made a contact pic out of it and is definitely of better quality.
go try it yourself. (attachment)
maybe not TF3D related, but downscaling is the problem.
if it was a tf3d problem then his image would be poor!

edited my text allready ^^
try saving a pic as a contact using S2V then sync with a pc.
do a contact backup with ppcpimbackup to be on the safe side
disconnect activesync, delete the entire contacts database, (can use sktools for this or ppcpimbackup)
then sync again and see what happens to the hires contact pic.
I've found that the image comes back lowres, ergo it's outlook that reduces the image quality.
[EDIT]
Having tested this in orifice 2007 at work, it didn't reduce the quality. so maybe it's only older versions that did?
simple solution for the blurry pictures!
open the PIC in HTC album, open options and choose "save to contact".
this seems to bypass the Outlook compression function.
All I do with mine is save them to a folder I made on my Memory Card. Then when I open the contacts list choose a picture, find it, attach it and jobs a good one. Very good quality too...

Picture Size in Contacts

I've been searching for an answer to this question for a while with no luck so far.
Outlook 2003 has a placeholder for a photo on each contact's details page. This picture can be used in the People tab on the Touch HD.
What is the ideal specification for such a picture (resolution and actual size)?
It may be obvious to others but it isn't to me!
TIA
I don't know what the optimum size is, but if you add the contact photo from within the contacts app it will be small and at low resolution.
The best option for me is to resize the desired image to the same size as the screen and then add it to a contact from A_C's S2V program. This then allows a full screen photo for caller ID with another of A_Cs programs S2U2. This works fine on my Kaiser and I see no reason it wont work on my Blackstone when it finally arrives.
Hope this helps.
i just got my touch hd yesterday and i instantly had to figure out the same problem.
i recommend to sync all your contact with your pc and then add the pictures later at the "people tab" on your device.
anyways,
the contact pictures in the "people tab" are 268x268 pixels.
that works pretty good, just try it.
Most people seem to agree 256x256 is the best resolution to use, however if you import the picture from Outlook it'll be horrible quality no matter what the original resolution was.
You need to select the picture from TouchFlo on the contacts tab to get the best quality (which still isn't fantastic).
some clues here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3388796&postcount=100
Is it still 256x256 in PNG format for HTC Sense ?
Try 400x400 pixel size. I use a 400x400 JPG and work fine for me.

Should have read up higher. I can confirm that is still the exact resolution for HTC Sense.
