Hi all,
Is it possible to use any animated GIF as a photo contact? I have some GIF's I'd like to use but when I view them prior to assigning them they just show the first frame.

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.
Is there a plugin or a hack that allows for a larger photo in the contacts screen?
I wish....
Hello all,
when I want to set a photo as a contact icon, a frame shows up to crop a photo, but all the photos in the album are rotated to "best fit" or "actual orientation"...so in both cases, I can't rotate the photo to the best orientation, and I add the photo to 90 degree to the left.
How can I rotate the photo in the crop mode( set as contact icon mode) ?
p.s.: I know that I can rotate the photos from start>>Multimedia>>Pictures & Videos....this solution is useless in my case !
from start>>Multimedia>>Pictures & Videos
go to edit>rotate>menu>crop
then save it

There's a way to get animated contact picture which is pretty cool and isn't on s7/edge.
You record a gif go to contact photo and change to the gif and this is animated in contact details plus if you pull contact pic down in contact list you get full screen and also you get animated contact icon when getting call from person you assign gif to.
That's a really cool idea! Does it actually exist on any phone right now?

That is brilliant! Thanks for the find
Was thinking now i need to redo a picture (well GIF), then realised i can edit my camera roll using the GIF capture tool - NICE.
Download Animated Photo plugin from Galaxy Apps for the stock camera. It Captures in GIF from the stock Camera, and then can be applied as a contact image. Tested and works.
However, The annoying fact is - S8 doesn't display Full Screen Images of contacts for incoming calls.
