Bigger Pictures On Caller ID

i agree...  in fact, i had thought the pictures used to be bigger and then something changed...  (sort of like how they used to have the green android and now have the gray silhouette).  haven't been able to find any sort of configuration for this...

Nice find! but someone is going to have to edit our phone.apk the same way they did because theirs is most likely not compatible with ours.

anyone know how to make these hex edits:

The Xml Layout Portrait in the source is:
file: call_card_person_info.xml

<ImageView android:id="@+id/photo"
android:layout_width="116px" Change to 210px or bigger if you want
android:layout_height="116px" Change to 210px or bigger if you want
android:scaleType="center" Change to fitXY
android:background="@drawable/incall_photo_border"
/>

the file is binary I did this in HEX

Offset 0x469 -> change 74 (width 116px, default) in D2 (210px)
Offset 0x46D -> change 74 (height 116px, default) in D2 (210px)

this is already fixed by Cytown
Offset 0x480 -> change 05 (center) in 01 (fitXY to expand the photo 210px)

i can get to the offset, but what am i supposed to change?  any help would be appreciated.

Ok so... Your wish is my command!

Here is the first edited Phone.Apk, complete with Larger Contact Icons! That's all i've changed so far, but I'm sure I'll do more later.

To Use:  Using your favorite method, be it update.zip or adb shell, replace the Phone.apk in /system/app with this one.

great job guys.....we have such a great community around here!!

cookies for both btw

I'm with jazzy, I would love to do this but don't have a clue how to.  Can someone describe the process (hopefully in Fisher Price terms)?

Thanks

Once again - hok beat me to it.  blah!

first, you have to have root (so that you can access and edit the file) - for rooting, there's a nice tutorial in the rooting forum.

here's what I did, but I'm sure there's another easier way and shorter way...  

1.  download the attached file (either hok's or mine)

2.  ensure that you have all the right drivers and ADB installed (basically, i just took the folder and dumped it into c:/windows/system32 folder) on your computer (once again, i think all the files are in the rooting forum).  

to test this in windows:
- turn USB debugging on in your phone (under menu > settings > applications > development)
- connect phone to your computer
- click start > run > type in "cmd" and you should get the command prompt
- type "adb devices" and your phone should be on there.
- go to the folder where you downloaded the file (or throw the file in your current folder) and throw it on your /sdcard (i.e. type "adb push PhoneEClair.apk /sdcard/")
where PhoneEclair.apk is whatever downloaded file you picked.

3.  turn off your phone and disconnect the USB wire.-

4.  boot up the phone in recovery:  hold volume down, call button (green), and end button (red) - you should get a weird looking blue screen.

5.  connect your phone via USB to your computer again.

6.  go back into the command prompt (start > run > cmd) and type in "adb shell"

7.  you'll get a # or $ prompt (if you have the $ prompt, type in "su")

8.  type "cd sdcard" - and you should be in the sdcard folder

9.  type "ls P*.*" to make sure your Phone.apk is listed

10.  backup your current Phone.apk by typing in "cp /system/app/Phone.apk /sdcard/PhoneBAK.apk"

11.  now just copy your downloaded apk over the current one:  "cp PhoneEclair.apk /system/app/Phone.apk" (note:  the name needs to be changed to Phone.apk)


it seems like a lot, but it really isn't - basically, you're just copying the new Phone.apk over the one in /system/app - i tried to 'baby-step' it.

hopfully that makes sense.
