Stock messaging app in AOSP contact picture removal? - HTC Rezound

Been trying to figure this out. On ant's CM build. Always wanted to remove the image portion of the contact in the messaging app (stock). Has anyone been successful at this? Maybe I'm missing something simple?
Thanks in advance.

contact photos are managed in contacts not the messaging app. works fine between cm9 and aokp

I understand that thank you. But what I was trying to say is how to hide the photo next to the contact in the messaging app.

can't be done. all you can do is just remove them in contacts if you don't want them to show

Yeah but I don't think that's what he's after. He's wanting to remove that area from messaging entirely. So there's not even a blank picture there.

Exactly. ^

Contacts sync ?

So I just noticed that whenever I add a new contact its not being synced and added to my Google contacts .. whenever I added a contact on my nexus it automatically added it to Google contacts. How come it doesnt on the tbolt?

I am seeing the same thing... My droid always uploaded everything and now my Thunderbolt doesn't. The Apps don't go to the Cloud either. It says when I setup the google account that it's going to sync but I don't see it doing anything. I reformat nothing comes back....

Seems there's often a delay between the syncing of Google and my backup.
Sometimes when flashing roms ill get all my contacts at once other times it seems to take awhile.
Best option is to export your contacts to sdcard occasionally.

Well that's dumb. Does anyone have a solution?

I noticed this too. Not sure why this is happening. Maybe the GB build does not have the Google sync functionality working properly?

I suggested a solution, export contacts to sdcard.

That kind of defeats the purpose of an android phone then.. its made so everything is synced with google regardless of which device you are using
Hm, im not using a GB build, im using perfect storm weird

I was having this issue as well, and read about it somewhere on here.
Google.com/contacts is your friend. Use it.
If you input a contact, via the phone, make sure you change it from a "phone" contact to a "Google" contact.
Problem solved. ;-)

Ah thanks, for some reason if you add a contact from another app it would default to the "phone" contact option with no option to change to google.
Thanks

Is there a way to make the Google way default?

I really wanted that inverted Gmail too, but couldn't get it to even open without FC'ing.
love the inverted apps...now for an inverted messenger app...and also, where did you get the battery mod in your pics.
Works great, just had to change owner to root instead of sd card before I could get permissions to change........thnx

If you have Root Explorer, push the apk to system/app and change permissions to rw-r--r-- then reboot. You can do it with adb too. I've never used it so have no idea how.
how do you push using root explorer? Please explain

Can someone please explain on how to push apk by using root explorer or adb?

I can't seem to get the contacts one to work, my contacts app completely disappeared. I even uninstalled the inverted app and renamed the old one back to contacts.apk, still no go. Any ideas?

Did you set the permissions after pushing file then reboot afterwards?
I did, I set them to the same as the old contacts.apk. There is also a a contactsprovider.apk Does that affect anything? What are your permissions set at? I really want to get this working!

Is it safe to delete the stock messaging app?

I use gosms and for some reason the stock app notify me more times then the gosms.... I was going to try and delete it but I don't know how embedded it is in the system and I don't want to break something.

Don't delete it you'll ruin you're sms capabilities just shut off its notification

I would used Titanium Backup to freeze it and test whatever sms client you are using instead. I use Google Voice for everything and have had my messaging frozen (disabled) and everything works.

I use Handcent and have uninstalled (with TiBU) the stock messaging account on just about every ROM I've flashed on all 3 of my EVO's (4G, View, and LTE) with never an issue.

[Q] Not receiving notifications from Twitter, FB, Words

I'm using Avatar 2.13b and have not been receiving notifications from Twitter, Facebook, Words With Friends, etc. I've checked the app settings and they are all set to notify. Cannot for the life of me figure out how to get the notifications working. I am getting Gmail and TweetCaster notifications.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
A lot of views but no suggestions. Have gone back to BB ROM until Avatar can pull in the notifications.
I like the themes in Avatar, but like the notifications more.

Looking for a certain MMS.apk

What's sup guys. I was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of a ROM (non touchwiz) with the messaging app that converts sms to mms after a certain amount of charaters have been entered. I had this on a particular ROM but I switch often and have wayyyy too many ROM zips on my computer to sort through each one. So if any of you know off top, it would be greatly appreciated. :good: Please no alternatives from the app market. I just want to know the name of the ROM your running that has this feature already on the included messaging app
The Beanstock ROM has it...
