Hangouts high res SMS? - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Seeing as I have zero app skills, I was just wondering if it was on anybody's radar to tweak the hangouts app to allow high res pictures to be received through the SMS side. I used a unofficial CM on my GS3 that had full res pics through the stock messaging app. I would love to see that on Hangouts.
Edit: disregard, I meant to post in Themes and apps.

Low quality pics with Facebook sync.

Hi. I recently installed CM 7.0 and I'm getting low quality pictures on my contacts. Is this normal behavior on stock roms? I didn't have this issue with mysense or sense roms.

Yeah, at least for me, it was normal. When I had CM 6.1.1 on my G2 before I switched, the contact pictures when someone called looked like ****. Even if I synced that contact with their Facebook profile, it still looked bad.
Yep, I noticed this as well when I first got my HTC Glacier, running stock ROM. I'm on Ice Glacier v1.1.4 right now and I see the same thing. Granted, IG is still the *same as stock, to a degree. It looks like the same 50 x 50 thumbnail they use for the feed and use that for the image when someone calls.
I have a problem with low quality mms. I can't read text on pics sent to me.

Doesn't Facebook lower the image quality. I've noticed that when I dl a pic from Facebook to my computer its not as good as say an original that was emailed to me.

Facebook contacts merging with Google ones.

Does anyone know why the profile pictures are so low Res? Especially on cyanogen mod builds and stock android builds, sense ones have higher Res pics. Any way to fix it?

yeah, i was just thinking about the same thing. anyway, i don't know what is the casue, but if you use photos from facebook for htc sense, they high res
Yeah definately. I just wish it was the same for stock or cm builds. The low Res pics make my phone look like a dumbphone, not a smart phone

I nabbed the Gallery 3D app too but, either it's just me, or it's rather irritating. When you click on the photo icon while in camera mode, it doesn't take you directly to the last picture taken; just plops you right down at the beginning of your camera album and makes you scroll through all the photos (annoying if you have a lot). Can't remember whether stock gallery was weird like this.
Stock wasn't like that, it went directly to the last picture taken. Did you get the 3dgallery+ from the market or the official apk? I'm using the 3dgallery + and it does that.

I got this from the Market: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.cooliris.media
Wouldn't be surprised if it's the wrong one. If so, could you link me to the one you are talking about? Searching 3dgallery just comes up with a bunch of non-relevant apps.
Moved to general as not android development
Oops....mine does the same.....i ripped it from a rom

[Q] Issue regarding wallpaper scaling. Help appriciated!

Hey XDA.
I've had an issue latlley regarding my Nexus 7, whenever I set a wallpaper, no matter if it's a living wallpaper or just and ordinary high-res image, the wallpaper gets scaled down extreamly and looks like crap. The issue started after I installed 'Gyrospace 3D' (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=opotech.starfieldLWPFree) and I have the same issue on my HTC Sensation, aswell after installing the same app, thats actually what made me relize the app came with the isuee. Heres what i tried to do to resolve it:
1. Uninstall the app
2. Change launcher
3. Wallpapyrus app, Wallpaper Setter app
4. Other Wallpaper apps
5. Restarting devices
How can I resolve this stupid issue? I issume theres some value the app changed wich makes all wallpapers be very very scaled down, and even if i choose as big as possible, it stays zoomed in when set.
Id love to if anyone can help me, a solution that aint factory reset obviously. Thanks in advance, and warnings for that stupid app.
I'll try a little bump and hope someone has an idea how to resolve this! Thanks
Use quickpic to set a wallpaper, available in the market. When it ask you which gallery to use to set the wallpaper, pick quickpic and it will use the full picture and not make you crop a section. Hope this helps.

Clear cache or reinstall the app and mess with the settings to see if it has an option to disable the cropping or whatever the hell it's doing?

Wow... Awesome solution. I've been really hating how gallery crops photo's to look like crap.
Quick pic loading app too. Will be replacing my gallery for sure!
Now.... Just wondering as I haven't been on the up and up on apps...
Since using original HTC incredible Google has had issues with high rez contact pics when callers call. Still have that issue... Is there app to fix that too?

I tried, theres simly no settings for this **** app..
Syncmypix works well for making higher res call pictures, but it is for Facebook pics. As long as most of your contacts are synced through Facebook then you won't have a problem.

If your just setting a static wallpaper, you have to open quickpic, select your pic then set as, then crop using quickpic. If you use the long press method from the home screen it will force you to crop the normal way.

I use the 3d pic live wallpaper app by the same developer as the gyro space LW and it works beautifully.

Hangout Alternatives

Hello I was wondering what everyone was using instead of Google's hangouts app for SMS. I am stuck looking for a good alternative. Also I saw an AOSP SMS app with the sliding side bar kind of how hangouts has it now but I can't seem to find it anymore.

Go SMS works well... had tried it earlier...
Sliding messaging
Ninja sms ftw. It is a paid app, but the window is wonderful. Reply without leaving the app youre using is great.

You may try 8SMS
I'm still using the old messaging app, isn't that included in 4.4 rom? (I personally flashed 4.4 over 4.3, so it's still there).
