Can anyone please tell me how to change the default android robo icon that comes up when i make a call or receive call with a custom pic of my choice.
Any app for this ?
For setting it as your caller id , go to the picture you want in your gallery, select 'set as' and choose contact icon. Simple as that
For the picture when you call someone, if you have set a picture from the gallery or synced with Facebook, the picture would change to the contact's picture automatically and no change is needed.

Just to add to it, the contact should be in phone and not in sim..
how do i know or change where contact is because othe steps did not work still ringing with default picture thing little green man thing
That would involve editing that default contact caller id img in phone.apk of your rom.
You need to decompile the apk, make your changes, compile.

For sense roms;
Select the person from people app. on top right there is a "linked" thingy. touch that. now you'll see a picture on top left. there is an arrow right next to that picture. click on that arrow.
now select an option you wish.

I just figured out how to set mp3 ringtones for the Sony Xperia... but I'm wondering if there is a way to set a different ringtone for each contact in my phonebook ??
Yes open the contact and scroll to the bottom
I opened up the contact, and it shows their name , call, and send text message only. When choose "edit" to edit the contact, I can only change their name and number. Can you be more specific please ?
When I edit a contact I have 20+ things I can change about that one person. One of those is 'Ring tone'. Might be some of the SPB software adding it but I doubt it....
Ohh, ok thanks! I found it in the SPB panel, but it's not there in the windows mobile contact for some reason..
I think it depends on how you have the contact saved. The option to add a ringtone to a contact might only be available if the contact is saved to the phone, not the sim card.

On my X1, this is how i get to do it.
1) open contacts from start menu.
2) select the contact to edit. You should now see a screen with options like call mobile, call home, etc
3) click onthe name of the contact, and you should now see a screen with a lot of options for that contact.
4) scroll down until you see the option for ring tone. now click in the text space for the ringtone drop down selection box.
Hope this helps. There are also a lot of other useful options to be found on that screen, like setting pictures for contact. birthday reminders, etc.
I've always peferred to use Phone Dialler's keypad to search for a Contact by pressing a few alpha/numeric keys -
then I used press the contact that I'm looking for and select SMS or call mobile or home phone, or email.
With TouchFlo 3D's Phone Dialler HD, however, this is not practical as it AUTOMATICALLY DIALS THE CONTACT instead of OPENING IT to allow you to chose your contact option (as in WM dialler).
I don't want to go back to WM6 Dialler because I like everything else but -
DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO CHANGE IT FROM AUTO DIAL (selected contact) TO AUTO OPEN CONTACT?
Maybe there's a registry setting that can be changed?
PS. I'd also LOVE to be able to make the SCREEN FONT for SMS's in the TouchFlo 3D MESSAGES Tab, any Ideas?

Yeah, this is an issue that has been discussed here before and as far as I know, there is no ideal solution for it. At least no one here has found any.
The only suggestion I have is to slide over (rather than tapping) the contact name when in the caller ID screen. This of course flips through the various phone entries for the given contact. However, it also means that it selects that contact without calling. Once selected, you have to press Menu (bottom right) and then "open contact". This is the same as opening your contacts list and tapping on a contact.
By the way, once you are in that screen, tapping on a number will initiate a call (or sms depending on what you tap), and tapping on the name of the contact (or picture) will open the contact file for you to edit it.
Like I said, caller ID screen is not ideal, but my suggestion might be a good enough "work around" for you. If you have a lot of contacts in your contact list, then my suggestion is faster than entering the contact list and finding that particular contact.
As far as your sms screen question - sorry, I don't know how.
So when setting up the people widget, is there a way to set up a shortcut that automatically calls someone, and another shortcut that automatically texts the same person?
Say, for example, I set up 2 different people widgets, on 2 different screens. On one screen, I have the people widget full of people and it's set to automatically call them on their mobile phone. On the next screen, I have a people widget with all the same contacts, but it's set to send a text message instead of call.
Is this possible? I can't figure out how to change the default action on 1 of them in the widget without changing it for that contact in all of the widgets.
It would sure be nice if I could have a screen full of contacts that have the default action as a text message, and another screen with the same contacts with the default action being to call them.
I set up 2 different groups- 1 called VIP, and the other called VIP text, but changing the default action of a contact in one of them changes it in the other too.
Sure you can do that, only don't use the widget. go to home screen long press, then select shortcut then person, then select your contact then when the contact screen comes up select a number then that shortcut will be put on the home screen, if you select one of the message numbers then that shortcut will text somebody. the other option is to use the quick contact option at the bottom of the contact screen this will put a shortcut icon on the home screen when you touch that icon a submenu will open that will give you the option to call text email or even navigate to that contact, there is also a subicon that will allow you to go to that contacts contact card, play around with it im sure you will find it is very easy to set it up the way you want.

Yeah, I know you can do it that way. I am trying to use the Widget though because it lets you add a whole group. If I could get it to work the way I want, I could add a group for calling, then a group for texting in another widget, and be done. Doing them 1 at a time takes a lot longer.
I replied in your topic at AndroidCentral, lol.
I've heard that the People widget can cost you some battery %'s...
The HTC People Widget scrolls though and lets you organize it by groups, so... I guess it's better in that case.

Hey... I think what you need is... a direct dial/ direct message for a contact
So here's how you do it
1. Longpress on the home screen
2. Select Shortcuts
3. Select Direct Dial or Direct Message - depending on what you want to do
4. Select the contact
and voila - you're done
What I have is a folder on my homescreen with direct dials of all the contacts I call frequently.. its very useful

I thought I am the only one. Same thing with mine.
Mine does the same but when I clear the app from the"recent apps" it reverts everyone's names back. Without needing to save that new number.

I've seen that as well. But all I have to do to fix it is open any message thread from someone in my contacts. Unread or not.
