Hide contact images in messages? - Hero, G2 Touch General

I installed CM6 (Android 2.2) on my Hero today, and now I have a contact image at every message wich is really annoying since it just takes up a lot of space on my small display.
Is there any way to hide them?

I don't believe there is a way of hiding these images in the default messaging app, you could always try using another message app such as handcent as they tend to have more options.

[request] Stock Android Dialer for 2.1

Would it be possible for anyone to post the stock android dialer found on Nexus One?
Thx.
Hopefully the right one.
I think thats the HTC dialer isnt it?
Nope, It's from a Nexus dump i believe.
Blue phone icon, same as Nexus.
Thx, will try later.
Sadly, it doesn't work. It says phone.android.com not found.
You just wanna have the Icon? Serach for "SMS unread count" App in the Market. It has the icons for gmail sms and phone + widget support witht he little iphone like counters etc. you know?
Its a good App!
greets
That is the 2.1 update1 stock phone/dialer app from Nexus. I doubt you can install it to a stock ROM, maybe even a mod ROM.
Like nodq said, if you just want the icon, use something from the market.

I don't need the icon, this would be pretty silly, I wanted to use the dialer, because I like it better than the Sense one. I know DailerOne is similar, but still to confusing, with all the swyping gestures.
Ahh, then I think the only way to get that is either play around with the file and make it compatible, or flash a ROM with it.
Don't like DialerOne either, its too much effort just to find contacts.

[Q] new text messages

Is there a way to have the new text messages move to to top on the list of text messages instead of scrolling threw all of the messages and looking for the ones with dots next to them
that is actually a Froyo 2.2 issue on the x after the move to froyo "supposedly" an OTA fix update is on its way out soon to adress the issues the X has after the 2.2 OTA update
only way i've found around it (until its fixed by moto) is to use a diff sms app. I use handcent and set the recieved message offset to -4.
I used to use Handcent, but there's so much overhead for that app that it runs so slow. I used it for months...then one day accidentally opened my native text app to find it was blazing fast! Never used Handcent again...

My stock messaging app stutters visually, and takes a good grip before it does anything. Handcent has never given me an issue.

When did this happen? Handcent use to be HORRIBLY slow for my X but in the last 2 months all the updates have made it alot faster.

Only sense based roms are messing up my text message order...anyone have a fix?

So I've spent the past week flashing different roms trying to figure out the issue and the only thing I can figure is sense based roms cause my text order to be out of order. The incoming texts show up before the sent text in the thread. I've tried stock messaging app as well as alternate sms apps and still the same thing. My wife is on stock non root and has the same issue.
Put CM7 on my phone yesterday and ran it all day and all my texts showed right..I first thought it was maybe a carrier issue in my area but why would CM7 work right when sense doesn't....
I'm at a loss on a fix and my wife wants a fix too lol...anyone have any ideas?
Fixed my issue...finally hit me on what I could try and it actually worked...so stinking happy!

I had the same issue with an AOSP rom. weird. I believe it might be one of the 3rd party widgets (not messaging apps) such as the sense widget or the launcher pro sms widget. first I thought it was my theme, reflashed still no go. so I wiped and reflashed then found out that if I clicked on a friends name from the launcher pro sms widget and sent a message it would be out of order for instance when he texts and I reply my reply would go BEFORE his message...
If not the widgets my second theory could be the kernels...
quick fix. just restart your messaging app and delete all the threads.
I tried everything and the only thing that worked for me was putting the vanilla android mms.apk on instead of sense mms.apk
Although the vanilla messaging app likes to force close on composing mms

Different TXT messaging app?

Was wondering if there are any different txt messaging apps, besides the default?
which also has the ability for attatchments.?
Thanks
I haven't used it myself, but a lot of people swear by Handcent SMS.
GOsms is what i use pretty nice
I have tried handsent not too bad but too much "bubbles" for me.
Are there any txt messaging apps that don't screwup the order in which messages are sent? What I mean by that is this:
When I send a txt to someone saying "hi, how are you" at 9:40am and I receive a reply a few seconds later, it shows up before my original message. Because both timestamps are at 9:40am, it displays them in alphabetical order (which is wrong)...
Allie - 9:40am - "good, u?"
Rob - 9:40am - "hi, how are you?"
I use Handcent SMS and I'm happy with it. No issues with the time stamps being out of order. You can customize the appearance, too.
How do u get rid of the bubble messages and have just a normal "list" type.
Settings - custom style - bubble settings - conversation style
Switch it to android.

I use handcent. It's pretty good. One thing that bugs me about handcent is that everytime I flash between different roms. I can never restore it. I've used tianium and astro and it would force close. What works for the best recovery when using handcent? For those of you who are using hc. Sorry, little of topic.
I've never had a problem between ROMS. Are you doing a full reset between? I just wipe the cache.

GoSms is what I recommend. I use the pro version, which is free in the market. Visually it looks like hanscent, But has more features. You can tailor it to performance or set it up with all the features/settings you want.

Go SMS
Go SMS is the best! They update a lot, too! Plus lots of personalization!

[L5-II E450] Small but anoyng issue with new FB Layout

Hello friends, as you know facebook is rolling a new Layout for they'r official APP.
I hear it is server side, so as long you have Android 4.x, you can roll back older instalation, uninstall and download the older FB APP APK, you can do all that and the new Layout still will be present.
The Layout is fine exept for one small but big issue.
At the buttons on top (Feed, Notifications, Friends Request) it dont display the Messages button.
I dont use FB chat, it is aways off and now exept for the push notifications i cant see if i have new messages on the APP, i need to check then via the options menu.
That is very anoyng for my use and a very deal breaker.
I tryed 3rd party APPs but none seens nice too.
Is there a way (as it seen to be server side) to roll back for the older layout, or add the stupid messages button??
Thanks for all, here what i mean:
