Is it possible to resize the photo of contact when using conversation option?
I used to use spb shell on my prevoius windows mobile 6.1 phone, just because I liked their 3d message viewer.
Now I like windows mobile 6.5 interface more, but I just want to have bigger contact photos on the left by the text...
Maybe someone know any registry key where widht and height for image is set?
Thanks
I posted this querie a while ago and got no response. Hope someone has the answer
I guess there are some registry keys about that?
I am not sure why some of my contact images are crystal clear while some a blurry on the HTC Dialer. I noticed the ones I added images to contacts on my HD are clear while the ones I added on HD2 is not even though the images are of the same sizes. I have tried with 320x320 and 480x480 and the results are the same.
I have same problem with that too, but I still didnt find solution for my primary problem about images in sms conversation

Something i REALLY hate with Windows Mobile, is the complete waste of the display. Everything is written with tiny ugly font, instead of a big clear font (i know you can change font size, but that only applies to some few things).
On incoming calls, theres LOTS of space to display caller id/name, but no, it only displays it with a tiny font leaving 90% of the dialog with white pixels, so it's impossible to see it if you have your phone mounted in your car.
Does anyone know if it's possible to change fonts size of the incoming call dialog, or some third party application that replace the entire screen?
I tried a search, but i don't really know what I should search for?

If you want something for PICTURES of contacts of incoming calls, you could try ProPhotoContacts, I use that a little and it just displays a large pic of the caller and some info ( you can choose between business style, personal, or just name and number to be displayed.)
If you just want larger text, idk what you could use for that, but there are many good 3rd party contacts apps that do what you are looking for.

I don't want pictures - i just want the number/name to be readable from 1 meter distance - so i guess i need some 3rd party application to replace the default dumb dialog.
But i haven't found any, and i'm really not sure what keywords i should use? Have anyone found an appliaction like that?

That's a darn good ?. Even the pictures assigned to my contacts are too small to see who it is calling. Luckily I have different ring tones to each of my contacts, I know who's calling by the ring tone.
I remember there was an app for Symbian that allowed for full screen caller ID pictures. Don't remember which one it was... my last Symbian phone was the Pana X700 and I stopped using that back in summer of '05 when I discovered the Blue Angel.
But there's got to be something for WM as well. Have you checked all the freeware sites?
there's been a thread within the wizard forums about this app that changes the caller id bubble and is very customizable. Im gonna go look for it, and if I find it Ill report back

check that out, scroll about 1 or 2 pages down it shows a screenshot of a diff bubble. that is your software sir!
Anybody Know?
I was wondering if anyone knew how to magnify just the picture of who is calling. That link above is great but it has all these additional features that i'm not interested in...i think my phone might explode if i put more softwares like that on it. I just want to be able to make the picture of incoming calls large. I have photo contacts pro and I don't like it. When an unknown caller is calling then it's completely useless...more importantly it doesn't recongnize callers from your sim card...that is why i stopped using it....if anyone knows that would really make my day
You could always make a jpeg with big bold letters of the contacts name and save it to their photo contact...
Does anybody know the optimal Aspect and image size for contact pictures?
something that will look decent and maximize the picture on incomin call pop ups along with the HTC Favorite people tab with the 10 icons for contacts?
Same goes for me. I would like to have high res/ size. When using the slide2unlock with caller id, the photos looked like crap.

The default size is 120x160, if you're trying to use S2I2 maximized i'd probably go with 240x320
my problem is that the faces are getting cutt off when using the HTC home with the contact buttons, its quite annoying
why not this? can we make it so when someone calls, their pic comes up on the whole screeen instead of that stupid incoming call balloon. Its obvious an incoming call is coming in already by that little sound called a ringtone. would be cool to see a big pic of whos calling instead of a chopped up small stamp sized blurr of a pic IMHO
Has anyone figured this out yet?
There is 3rd party software sold for just this. I can't think of the name at this point. It's been a while since I was trying to do the same thing.
The thing is... in the case of WM, to change the size of the avatar, the OS would have to change. They don't make it a variable option. That was back in the WM5 days. I haven't heard that it's any different with WM6.5. We'll see what WM7 has to offer when it's deemed ready!
Hi, did anyone know how i can take my contacts on my Todayscreen? Like IContacts, just for the todayscreen Thx

All your Contacts? Or just some of them (e.g., Quickdial)?
If you just want key contacts for quick access, there is a cool product called Face Contact by CNetx that might work. If you want ALL contacts, I have not seen one....
Yeah, I have been thinking about this too, would be great if iContact could be made into a Today Plugin. I will pose this question in the icontact thread.

Try SPB Phone Sweet. I know you have to pay for it but there are plenty of places were you will be able to find it below one penny if you get my drift, I just cannot post them on the site. SPB Phone Sweet will allow you to post picture contacts, up to 15 I believe on the Today Screen. Really good function program which I used in conjuction with SPB Pocket Plus but have since then moved to SPB Phone Suite. Good luck.
first... thx for the answer´s and sry about my English
So i really looked for a today plugin who show ALL CONTACTS, like icontact i have now Facecontacts, thats great but i can only show a few contacts or all with many work... spb.... hm i have ultimate launch if i use spb too my kaiser will be slow i think.... so lets search another one
I wrote it in BURT thread...
I got UL too and in combination with spb phone suite there is no problem. My HTC touch is slower
ok but i think this have to look so:
Even I am looking for such thing from quite a while now.. but without luck.. I am trying to search or develop something which can integrate programs like Icontact/PCM image viewer to today screen.. Something like we can see in HTC Diamond but with less memory usage.. There are prgs like Throttle Launcher which does this, but heavy on memory.. consumes like more than 10 MB.. Anyone has any idea on how can we achieve this..
try this
you can use face contacts, its the best looking contact plugin available. and it scrolls like s2p cover flow (but smoother)
if u read u will see.... i use this.... but its not so good i think
As I've mentioned in Icontact thread
use one of your softkeys to invoke Icontact, or use Mortbuttons - you can assign one in today screen with Icontact and other phone app inside
Again Pisca, how does this establish a today plugin
1. not only icontact, any software what can do this, but in the today screen.
2. if u can look on my today screen? NO SoFTKEyS
I have set Spb Diary to show photo contacts on the Today Screen and it works out great...

See post in Icontact thread
You can also use DialTab.
Everything listed here are the best options. Trying to fit all of iContact as a plugin on your today screen eliminates the app itself. Doesn't make much sense to me.
Perhaps "Ineosoft Adressbook". You have a bar on the todayscreen, like the HTC Random Access and then the adress is popup. Have a look on it.
Or we can make a shortcut to HTC Random Access for the today screen.
i am currently playing around with my own made C# picture dialer that is displayed as a today item (very early beta i might add ). it enables a user to see pre defined photo contacts (which is of course nothing new).
as with most photo dialers, a long (2 second) press on the photo dials the number that belongs to the contact. (it also has an option to assign two numbers to one photo contact, which i find very usefull, eg the first number is dialed when you press the photo for two seconds, the second number is dialed when you press the photo for four seconds.)

The same thats all the other said... i click on a button and i get my contacts.... ok thats work with allllll software, icontacts also....
i show my idea again ok....
I have done much searching across xda and the web and have still yet to find what i am looking for. I have a diamond and like many people i disabled the HTC dialer due to the ring delay.
I have been using the standard wm dialer. I am quite happy with the incall screen this provides but i am unhappy with just one aspect of the dialing screen. I like the smart dialing feature and use this all the time only ever using "contacts" for sms. BUT I find that sometimes it is difficult to select a name from the rather small list above the keypad. I dont see the point in the dialed digits being displayed so large as they do not need to be selected with a finger. I have therefore been looking for a way to reduce the size of the dialed numbers and increase the size of the contacts in the list. Couldnt find any tweak to do this
I did find a program yesterday (cant remember its name now) that displayed easily selectable tabs in place of the small menu items sadly twas qvga only and develpment had been stopped years ago. I have looked at using alternatives such as phonex ect but these come with incall screens and call history lists ect which i dont need or want. All i want is slightly larger menu items OR a simple dialer screen only, no incall screen ect but i would like it to look nice tho.
Does anyone know how this mod could be made or of any app suitable? I've attatched a screeny to give you an idea of what i mean
Thanks Guys and Gals
I'm interested too
I have recently bought an HTC Diamond2 and upgraded its ROM to the official WM6.5, still using TouchFLO 3D. I have set the character size to the largest available size (through Settings), yet the character size in 'Contacts', SMS text and the digits when I dial a phone number is too small for my eyes.
Is there a Registry Tweak or Utility to further increase the character/font size?
I use a utility from here to zoom in/out text from SMS text, which is good but not adequate (NB that no sliding bars appear for the text to be read properly but...).
In addition, mine is bought from the Netherlands, yet I installed the official Greek WM6.5 ROM.
I tried RealVGA, but a single DPI is available (hence useless).
Thanks in advance for any information.
there is a magnifying program for the phone. Maybe this is something for you?

i believe the real life application: "reading glasses" might also be appropriate here
jokes aside, magnification programs are easy to use. search for them in this forum. a few available i think.
I do own the real-life application "reading glasses"; the problem is that when I am about and the phone rings, it is not easy to take the 'application' out of my pocket and 'run' it.
I have also installed the Zoom In/Out application for SMS.
Nevertheless I am surprised there is no information on how to change the character DPI under WM6.5 or the screen resolution.
Thank you again for your answers
The fontsize from the SMS tab can be found in a _manila-File.
But i forgot in which file... You could ask a rom cook, who build in a biger SMS font.
I changed the font on Manila 2.1, but not on 2.5 with Mode9 editor.

Try this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=551611
You can just use the slider to enlarge the text in SMS and emails.
As far as the system text.... maybe Advanced Config?
Thank you, but the proposed application does not run for some reason (I have install the latest mobile .net framework (version 3.7). Should I use 3.5 instead?
As for the last reply, I have set the character size to maximum from the Settings, but they are too small due to the small screen size compared to the resolution.
Judging from a LG GT500 I would say that a resolution of about 320x200 (or slightly higher) would be alright, but I know neither the Registry setting (if one is available) or a working application that can do the trick.
Thanks again for the replies though.
Try NET CF v3.5.
