??? It's a blank page!

As there's no link, this is what I do (in CM 7.1):
Add your own number to your phone book, set your picture and fill in whatever info you want. Make sure you populate your mobile number in the international format (.e.g mine reads +447987987654)
Settings>Call Settings>Scroll to "Other Call Settings>Additional Settings
Hit "My Phone Number"
Make sure your phone number is in there, again in the international format.
In CM7, for some reason this value is not being retrieved from my SIM, so I need to add it here each time my phone is rebooted. Same for my Wife's Defy too.
Back before I had rooted and was on stock, it's even easier; simply set your Google Profile picture and it is shown on the phone automatically.
Maybe this will help someone.

If you're not on CM then take a look here.

Thanks, that was excellent. I didn't know where this setting was burried in the CM7 extensive settings dialogs.

How to Change the contact's Default Icon

Hi guys,
Is it possible to change the contact's default picture which you can see below in the attached file to an green android man like in other phones? I am sure it is, I just would like to know how.
Thanks in advance,
Go into contacts. Select the contact. Menu/edit contact. Tap the picture space in the top left. Follow prompts. Save.
Swyped on my rooted MyTouch4G
Well, I know that much, that's not what I meant. I want it to be changed systemwide, not per each contact. Like the one in the attached image.
There is no default picture. The image in the OP post is the default. No way to change that (that I know of). The droid contact pic is something somebody added to an individual contact.

That's incorrect. That is the default when the contact don't have a phone pic on a lot of full sense ROMs. We would have to dig in the contacts apk and change the png for it. Let me look..
OK, its in there. It's called
common_icon_default_avatar_300.png. we'll need the one from the evo, I know it has the Andy avatar. And maybe it's as simple add replacing it and naming it properly

Thanks man. I was going to correct the other person about him being wrong but I was not 100 percent sure. I would think it should just be a simple fix.
Ninja-morph?
I was gone try last night, just got track down the png we want. I'll probably have to download a evo rom and get it there
After downloading 3 evo roms, I found the png needed. Changed em with ninja morph but they didn't stick. Idk
thanks for trying man.

BTW; I specifically stated that there wasn't a way 'that I knew of'. Not a way that would perma stick.
So I wasn't wrong per say. I was simply exercising an educated guess.

It's cool bro. But I was referring to the someone set that as a profile pic part.
Who is brave here?
ADB Push attached Phone.apk to /system/app and let me know if that's what you're looking for.
Make sure to nand or at least save your original phone.apk

K, I tested it on outgoing calls... it's a little too late to ask people to call me.
It's not a full screen pic neither, like OP has, that would require some serious xml edits, and then, people with actual pics would look all stretched, that happened with G1's dialers back in the day. Looks much better then that bogus original pic.
Good job bro, it works for in call. How about the contact default. Without a assigned pic?

Name not showing up in text messaging

Since I have redone my phone, contacts in my contact list the name is now showing up in text messages. Anyone know what the problem may be?

Ok I took my phone back to stock. I have since put a custom kernel on it, mobile ap, and emotionless beast. Every since then when I get a text message of someone from my contact list, it only shows the number instead of the name.
Hopefully that makes better sense.

I am a flash-a-holic, so maybe I can help a "little".!! I have noticed that many of the latest/greatest themes use some form of the stock messaging ap, which has a check box in the settings menu (under "extra settings") that says something like "Only Mobile Numbers". Unchecking this has fixed this issue for me.
And before I get flamed too bad by people who "know" this isn't the reason, but have not offered their own suggestions - this is what I have noticed and what has worked for me!
i swear that is a setting... i cannot remember exactly where i saw that but i know i did, unless it was on another android... i wish i could be more help, ill try to see if i can look it up tomorrow at work, have access to all the menus on one screen rather than cheking everything on my phone

quick yes or no question about cm7

damn, now im stuck using cm6 which is annoying cause i recently put on the newest cm6 cause the version i had was slowing down and well yeah now the phone doesnt vibrate which is annoying. no matter what i do it will not vibrate when i get a message or when someone calls me which is annoying cause im usually on silent mode 99% of the time and i need to be able to feel when someone has messaged me or calling me. and i need proxy settings for uni.. hmm annoying situation.
I think you can do it in CyanogenMod 7.
Here is a quote from the CyanogenMod forums:
"In CM6 there was a setting in the Wireless & Settings for the proxy.
In CM7 you have to long press on the desktop background.
Then in the list that pops up select `Custom Shortcut` - `Pick your activity` -
`Activities` - `Settings` -
toward the bottom of this long list is `Proxy Settings`
Add this shortcut to your desktop. When you then click on the shortcut you can enter your proxy
address and port number.
Works fine for me."

EDIT: does anyone know if that can be done in blayos rom? about the proxy thing? cheers

How-To: Fix No Pics and Fix Voice Reply on Google Now

Google Now: NO Voice reply or Picture showing up work around.
This is for anyone who cannot get a voice to reply for anything in Google Now (that includes weather), and also for people who cant get a picture for Google Now cards. The reason for why voice does not work is because the languages are mixed in settings. I used to have Google Now as English Canada, but voice as English US. Unfortunately, I cannot use English Canada, so I had to set them all to English US.
This is how I did it:
1. Go into System settings > Language and Input
2. Make sure Language is set to English (US)
3. Make sure Google voice typing is checked and set to Automatic
4. Click on Voice Search underneath SPEECH. Make sure Language is set to English (US) and Speech Output is set to always speak
5. Go into Text-to-speech output. Click on the Google Text-to.. settings icon. Language should be set to English US.
6. Test voice by going into Google Now and asking it the weather. It should reply! Note: For weather, the voice always replies, which is why you should test weather.
7. Click Thanks if this helped
Picture not showing up for cards: This is pretty easy.
1. Go into Google Now
2. Click on Settings>Privacy and Accounts> and check off "Search on google.com"
3. Test it by asking a question that has a picture. For example: "How tall is Kobe Bryant?" The picture should now show up.
4. Click Thanks if this helped
Any questions, just Private Message me. ^.^ or post in the thread.
PS. This workaround worked for me, on CM10 v8 Alpha Preview by FE with the Gapps from OP and Devil 1.0.4 Test3 JB kernel. Also, for pictures, one other user reported that he did not get the "search on google.com" option. Please test it out and tell me if it works, THANK YOU! Also, click thanks if I helped ;D
Feedback please? Does it work? Yes, no? Click "Thanks" if it helped?
tested it, still no pic shown
Thats strange. It works 100% for me on any ROM. If I go into Google Now > Settings > Privacy and accounts > Check "Search on google.com" (bottom blurb says "Using www.google.com instead of your local domain (www.google.ca), the picture shows up perfectly. If I uncheck that, no picture shows up. Im sorry if im unable to help, but thats how I managed to get it working. I really dont know why its not working for you, sorry. :/
Mine doesn't have the option to search Google etc in privacy, however I am able to get pics.
Followed steps and speak back feature works great!

This post right here, is a perfect example of what we here at XDA like to call "SPAM."

I've implemented these changes myself and I still had some issues sadly ^^
Mostly with voice recognition. But thank you for the contribution!
bro, its working now, finally figured it out where those stuff is located, its working like charm now, but without cards.
I think you may need to use them a bit more. I always get cards. And I think it also depends what you ask it Weather should always have a card. (99% sure)

Hmm, I know this sounds stupid, but is your volume at max? It didnt work for me once because my volume was down lol. Major fail on my part.
Also, could you tell me your settings on Voice in Google Now settings?
It should be Language: Default - English(US), Speech Output: Always Speak. (The other two are block offensive words and Hotword detection which are both checked, but they shouldnt make a difference either way)
Other settings to be aware of are:
-Make sure profiles is off (some profiles might have silent activated)
-Settings>Language and Input>Language, English (US)
Unfortunately, Im not on the same rom as you are right now, (Im on RemICS - JB) so we have some different settings in the Language and Input part, but I'll make a backup and flash PA 360 and try to make google now voice stop working to see what settings are stopping yours. I apologize for this thread of not being much help to you. If you manage to get it working before I can find which settings are messing it up, then kudos to you, and please share your new findings so I can update the thread. Really, I dont know why half the community has it working and the other half doesnt.

Not sure if this will help 100%, but I am sure i can't hurt.
Since you're rooted you can go ahead and install this by flashing the zip in recovery.
After you have booted back up, open the new incall modz control app.
Then hit the three lines on the top left to open the control menu options.
Scroll down and click the advanced hidden menu section.
This section opens up several hidden menus.
You can look through and see what may give you the options you're looking for.
I suggest using the "apn unlocking" to give you access to edit the apn setting.
You can also play around in the "phone testing menu" section and look within the field test secrion to force LTE.
I must say BE CAREFUL because you could change a setting that may require a restore/reinstall of your rom!.
I have played with a lot of settings and never done any real damage, seems like it would just close the app of the option wasn't compatible with my phone.
The hidden menus are also accessible via a dialer code (which varies per device variant and there are playstore apps as well, don't remembwr the names.
I only suggest the mod, because it is part of ny oZoP project and it will give you lots of customizations for the caller id, plus the advanced hidden menu that i beleive you could use. Like i said though, there are other options and the choice is yours.
Good luck

Well it looks like I don't need to answer the first question, but I will just mention for other users, the mod has been tested and confirmed working on every "stock" based rom without issue.
As far as the menu options not showing, it looks to me if the setup you are running has had the files needed for the options debloated or possibly that variant doesn't include them by default.
I have attatched a flashable zip of the files needed, but I DO RECOMMEND MAKING A FULL BACKUP just in case.
After you get your backup finished just flash the zip in recovery and proceed back to the app for the extra options.
Good luck again and let me know how that goes. Your feedback is valuable to me so I can ensure that everyone gets the same experiance as I intended
