Call Screen Picture?
 

I've tried searching the forums, but can't seem to find anything. Is there any way to enlarge the photo in the call screen?

Re: Call Screen Picture?
 

I have read a few threads in other forums on how to do it but I am sure that you have to be rooted.

Re: Call Screen Picture?
 

I have rooted it using the stickied thread. I just can't seem to find anything on how to enlarge the pictures. I have googled it as well to no avail. Could you point me in a direction as to where you found this in other threads?

My bad, actually it is able to be done in 1.6, not 1.5.

I appreciate your help. I'll just have to wait for the 2.1 update like everyone else. :)

Re: Call Screen Picture?
 

yes, you can increase the caller ID picture - the issue is that it'll be pixelated because it's associated with google (and they shrink it when synching)

here are the instructions i posted somewhere else (also, you can remove your mute and speaker buttons too):

oh, you can make the pic larger as well... full screen... there's an image of it here:

as for installing, backup your current Phone.apk in your /system/app folder and
just push this one (deodex'd if you've deodex'd your system) over the Phone.apk (need to rename to "Phone.apk").

Post Merge: February 19, 2010, 11:07:43 AMfor those that want to play around, here's a step-by-step on what i used and did (from the beginning so hopefully others will learn):

Assumptions:
Your phone is rooted and you can ADB on your computer

Programs used (all free):
7-zip (to extract and maintain the file)
HxD (hex editor)
AXMLPrinter2.jar (allows text of XML files) - make sure you put it into the folder with the xml file


Steps for Contact Picture enlargement:
1. Grabbed the Phone.apk file from my phone (located in /system/app)
2. Extracted call_card_person_info.xml from /layout folder
3. Opened up command prompt and navigate to the folder with the xml file
4. Type in (without quotation marks) "java -jar AXMLPrinter2.jar call_card_person_info.xml > call_card_person_info.txt" - this will give you a text version of the xml
5. Open up the text version and take a look - it should have a section like this:

<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" (or 05) Change to fitXY
android:background="@drawable/incall_photo_border"/>

6. Using HxD, open up the xml (call_card_person_info.xml). If you want to try different values, a good way is to put the decimal into a scientific calculator to determine the value for the HEX. These are the values you'll need to change for a 210px:

Offset 0x481 -> change 74 (width 116px, default) to D2 (210px)
Offset 0x495 -> change 74 (width 116px, default) to D2 (210px)
Offset 0x4A8 -> change 05 (centered) to 01 (fitXY)

7. Save. You can "java -jar AXMLPrinter2.jar call_card_person_info.xml > call_card_person_info.txt" to verify that you're changing the correct values (pretty neat eh?)
8. Drag it back into its original folder (/layout)
9. If you want a full screen (Eclair look) - take the drawable folder from one of the files here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=576310 and replace:

incall_frame_bluetooth_tall_port.9.png
incall_frame_connected_tall_port.9.png
incall_frame_hold_tall_port.9.png
incall_frame_normal_tall_port.9.png
incall_photo_border.9.png (not sure if this is needed, but that's what I did)

10. Voila - you have a full screen Phone.apk (however the mute & speaker buttons are still there and active)
11. Connect your phone in recovery (vol down, call, end) and "adb push Phone.apk /system/app/Phone.apk" and reboot

Steps for Removing the Mute & Speaker Buttons:
1. Grabbed the Phone.apk file from my phone (located in /system/app)
2. Extracted incall_screen.xml from /layout folder
3. Opened up command prompt and navigate to the folder with the xml file
4. Type in (without quotation marks) "java -jar AXMLPrinter2.jar incall_screen.xml > incall_screen.txt" - this will give you a text version of the xml
5. Open up the text version and take a look
6. Using HxD, open up the xml. These are the values you'll need to remove the buttons:

Offset 0x92D (toggle 1 width) - changed from 52 -> 0
Offset 0x941 (toggle 1 height) - changed from 32 -> 0
Offset 0xAF9 (toggle 2 width) - changed from 52 -> 0
Offset 0xB0D (toggle 2 height) - changed from 32 -> 0
Offset 0xA45 (button height) - changed from 32 -> 0
Offset 0xA31 (button width) - changed from 53 -> 0

voila, no more buttons (you can still pull up from menu).
7. Save. You can "java -jar AXMLPrinter2.jar incall_screen.xml > incall_screen.txt" to verify that you're changing the correct values (pretty neat eh?)
8. Drag it back into its original folder (/layout)
9. Voila - you have no more buttons in your Phone.apk
10. Connect your phone in recovery (vol down, call, end) and "adb push Phone.apk /system/app/Phone.apk" and reboot

Thanks, that is one that I saw over at SDX but I also saw a number of complaints in that thread of other issues, which is why I did not post that here. Are you saying that you personally did it, on a (rooted) Samsung Moment, and it worked with no ill side effects?

Re: Call Screen Picture?
 

i have this on my moment and it works with no side effect.

the issues that occurred were that i initially started doing this without a deodex'd system (i didn't install any themes and such, so i didn't see any reason to); which means, it'd only work on my phone... so no one else could use my Phone.apk (even though it worked on my phone); and that's where most of the issues came from - other people got force closes because it was only for my phone.

the solution was to do this on a deodex'd system (but you'd have to deodex yours as well) or else just do it manually (the instructions are above). ultimately, i'm not sure if it's that worth it because like i said, google shrinks your contact pictures, so when we stretch it for the contact picture, it pixelates... unfortunately.

however, getting rid of the mute and speaker buttons is worth it. :)

Re: Call Screen Picture?
 

Yeah, I thought about doing it because I only show my Exchange contacts because it is a work phone and the Exchange contacts pictures are a little larger and will pixelate a lot less, if at all. Thanks, I may give this a try this weekend.

Re: Call Screen Picture?
 

I too use exchange and the pics are too large for the small section for the pic. So I only see a portion of the pic. I may try this tomorrow and see what happens.
