Hello all. Is there any way to increase the number of favorite people slots available? I think the default is 15 or so. But I would perfer more...I like the layout of the favorite people since the pictures are bigger, feels like your selecting the picture not the name as it would be under the regular contact icon. Any advice is apperciated.

I am using the XDA Mobile 6 r2a ROM and all is well except the dialer.
The contact's picture shows up very tiny. So my question is which
dialer for WM6 shows the largest picture?
Ummm..... Now I'm using NBD 8.0, very nice. May decide to keep vs cooking my own. All it needs IMO is MuN keyboard, Calc lite & Novii remote toy!
Still question is, which dialer shows the largest / biggest / contact / picture / photo? So far I'm seeing teeny tiny contact pics and that's not too great.
I HAVE searched these posts but I keep missing! ANY help would be appreciated.

Depends on which picture you want bigger. When someone is calling you and there number pops up, and you have a photo associated with them, if that is what you want big, then I would leave it at the default wm6 dialer. Not the one you have, which I believe is from the HTC touch rom. Now if you mean the photo on the dialer itself when you are making a call or on a call, Then the biggest picture I've seen is using Pauly Eten Dialer Classics. They show a very big picture on the dialer itself. Hope that helps
Thanks for the suggestion, I'll give it a shot this week and report my results.
don't shoot me, but i am a bit of a novice. posted here 'cos this is where the hackers are, hopefully with some advice...
i like to keep my main (wm6.1) today screen clean as poss. i don't want any new gui app or touch flo etc etc. just a plain background image with one (transparent icon/bmp) folder containing 8 or so favorite contacts.
and, if poss, have it as a pop-up displaying the contact icons, then tap a non-linked area of screen for it to disappear - if that's possible without cluttering up the system with files too much.
is this possible without much knowledge of heavier hacking/script editing?
(oh, and obviously i don't want to install a big third party app to get 'whatever' to go, if that makes sense)
been searching and trying different things, but to no avail.
cheers very muchly
Moved to QnA, not dev related.
I like how I can make a shortcut of a certain person on your homescreen, but I don't like how I can rename it on the homescreen. For instance...my home phone and wife's cell is under one contact, so when I make the shortcut they both say the same thing. So I'm curious if there's an app or widget that would keep the similar style but allow me to rename it on the homescreen.
file this in the 1 of 2 things that do not exist for some unknown reason.
A good contact widget and a google voice widget are just non existent, IMO. I am not a developer in the least, so I think we are stuck wishing or settling for apps like:
http://www.appbrain.com/app/br.livroandroid.widget.contatos
I think it does what you want, sort of, but it just doesn't "LOOK GOOD"
This one looks better, but still not what I was wanting....
http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.phonepony.frequentcontacts
Maybe?
http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.moxier.swiftcontacts
Or you can just buy Launcher Pro, as it comes with an awesome contact widget (same as HTC Sense basically).
There was a "contact widget" that is very similar to this and I don't like it. Just looking for something that shows the profile pic and I can rename to "Home" or "Wife's Cell" instead of two instances of "Wife"
BetterCut solution?
You can do this with BetterCut ($1.99 in the market)... you can set up a direct dial shortcut and select wife cell # change the label to whatever you want, e.g. "wife cell" or "wife work", and choose an icon for it including a photo you've taken (make sure you crop the photo you want square first or it will distort when used as the icon)...
What I am not sure of is if there is anyway to tie it too the friendstream facebook or G-mail icon though...
Hope this helps you though
PS... anyone know how many posts I need in order to link or avoid the 5 min between post n00b restrictions? Obviously I can search for this too, just curious.
I just came across this. Thanks!!

I have never found an answer to this question, but I think it's actually a forum-wide rule, perhaps to prevent server overload. I still have search restrictions. For me, it just gives me time to review all of my results.
Hello
Since sensation has high resolutions screen contact number fonts in contact list is very small. It is very difficult to read after 40 years of age
This is one of the basic function of this device. It is very difficult to see without to magnifier. Pinch to zoom works elsewhere but not here.
Could you tell me a way to see text in contacs program without carrying magnifier in my pocket
Thanks
Have you tried installing a different font?
Maybe you need to change you glassess. My common sense saying you are wearing glasses

It looks like htc has forgatten to announce that People over 40 needs to buy glasses together with sensation even if they dont need normally
System font shange affects many things. It changes design completely I think
That is why I am looking for another solution
HTC keeps forgetting that not everyone has perfect eyesight, I have trouble reading many HTC applications and widgets. Most annoying to me was/is* the Calendar app: Appointment details usually span less than 35% of the screen, and you can't zoom in. Contacts are also an issue, but I usually tap phone and start typing the name on the numeric keypad, I keep typing until one name is left, which I then tap to call / send message / ..
I am happy with the SMS Application and Mail application though - pinch-to-zoom works on both now (Previously it would only work on Mail I believe).
*: I use Simple Calendar Widget by Alex Gavrishev, which is fully customizable.
you forgot incoming calls as well ...
font is just wayyyyyy too small !!! HTC expects all of my contacts to have PICTURES

Yes, You absoultely right
For example, When driving, or doing something else It is impossible to see phone numbers during incoming calls
This is a phone and We should see contact names and phone number easily and clearly. This is highest priority I think

Has anyone tried editing the build.prop to change the lcd density to a higher number, I have decreased it to make everything look smaller, it only rewins the lockscreen when I do that, I haven't tired making everything bigger by increasing the number.. anyone want to be a guinea pig?
This is inspired by robo4130 geeky way of professing his love for his soon to be wife. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1771509
I thought about making an application that does a similar thing, without having to bother about a LWP. Gratz btw robo.
The app has most of the functionality I was going for, but the UI needs a huge revamp.
Current features :
- Add a name to the message
- Add up to four lines showcasing your love
-- Each line is separately added
- Add a personalised message
--Default is 'Will you marry me?' , but this can be changed to 'Will you go out with me?' etc
- Option to add a personalised background
- Set the app to display your message on application startup
If you guys like it, I could add in sounds and UI changes and some wallpapers included in app.
I have narrowed down most bugs, but if you find any, please post here.
I tried to it out on my samsung infuse running cm9. It works well. If i understand the concept a person goes in beforehand and sets it up with their words. Then when you are ready to show it you start the app then press start and the words appear on the screen?
I understand its a basic start but its a good start you have going. I would definitely like to see some ui enhancements and some sound. Maybe even let you pick a chopped mp3 sound. Or include a couple premade sounds that are timed with when the words appear on the screen. And a live wallpaper effect for a background would be neat too.
I did notice that it displayed the text in the upper left part of my screen. Any way to get it centered in the middle?
Good luck and thanks.

Thanks very much.
I will try to make the UI look nicer Inshallah.
Main problem might be sounds. Firstly, I am not experienced with SFX and I have just a faint idea of where to find them copyright free. I found a neat website but I am not sure if it will have the sounds that I'm looking for. I wil probably use specific tracks and not unique effects because they are easier to find.
If anyone has any that I can add, it would be much appreciated.
Secondly, timing I think is crucial. I will try to make it spot on. I would love to hear/see a lovey-dovey song playing in the background while a dude sits on his knees and hands his (soon to be) wife an Android phone with those 4 magic words displayed on the surface
Regarding the text placement.
That is just temporary. So many times before I have made an app and have thought of posting but have always given up due to laziness and my short attention span.
I nearly went to sleep mid way so decided to post as is.
I hope to have 2 options. One. display in the middle. Two. Display it diagonally.
I could also make option to add hearts, roses, chocolates etc. Anything that raises the odds of getting the right answer
