Three questions about Froyo

Has Froyo fixed the issue of "Family" and "Friends" contact groups getting deleted on web UI?
I don't like the in call wallpaper (green robot) on Android that appears when I am talking to someone not in my contacts list. Is there any way this can be changed?
Finally, is there a way to make Gmail app allow choosing from more than one email addresses when sending an email? I have configured three "Send From" addresses under my Google Apps email account but Gmail app shows only one (default).
Thanks much.

What do you want to do actually this was a different kind of querry......

Hangouts 2.0 Contact Pictures

I installed the Hangouts 2.0 apk the other day and it's working perfect except I am missing one person's contact picture. He has a picture in my contacts app. Anyone else run into this?

The new Hangouts 2.0 can potentially show two different pictures for a contact. One of those images is the photo you've assigned in your address book while the other is the photo the other person has selected for their Google+ profile. I've seen this on my setup when comparing two conversation threads to the same person: one SMS and the other Hangouts (Gtalk).
Long story short.. Check to see if that person has a G+ profile and if they do, I suspect they haven't chose a photo for themselves.

I had his default contact picture set to his Facebook profile picture. I switched that to his Google+ picture and now it shows up after I force stopped the app. Thanks!

[Q] Contact Management / Mail App

I'm running stock CM11S (Verson 33R) on my OPO. Unrooted.
I notice these stranges behaviors:
When receiving e-mail from any contact in my contact-list, the mail-app (stock CM11S app) only shows the picture connected to this contact for one of the stored email-adresses in the conversation-list. When I open the mail to read it, the picture is shown correctly in the email-header.
With some e-mails, the picture is shown, but instead of the contacts name the mail adress is displayed, both in conversation list and in the e-mail view.
Additionally I can not find any way to manage contacts in the contact-app, meaning I can not move a contact from phone-storage to google account or vice versa. Am I to stupid or is this a bug?
Thanks for any answers to enlighten me.

[Q] add avatar to google sms

Hello, frequently I recieved sms from certain companies (google calendar notifications, my home banking, my football club, etc) and these sms came already with name of the sender and they are not in my contact list.
How can I add an image to these contacts?!
I've manually add Google as an contact and put the Google's logo but the avatar doesn't appear in the hangouts.

the messages you are getting are different sms... not like others i guess... like we get for promotional ads... they automatically have name in them.. and you can't see there no so you can't save them... and i guess you just can't apply picture to them..

avatar
The way I did it it, for example Google Calendar, added Google Calendar to contacts in gmail using +148368 as the mobile phone number and then changed the photo to one of a calendar (or whatever). Then I followed Google Calendar on G+, I also on the Google Calendar G+ page added that same number (+148368) not sure if you need to do the last step or even if you have to follow on G+ but there was a delay on it changing on hangout so I'm not quite sure if you have to follow. Sometime adding the +1 to the phone number is what works, and sometimes you just need to use the short code, for example US Bank uses a short code of 872265 and I didn't need to add the +1 for that. So for example Twitter, you need to use +140404 and if you already follow Twitter on G+ the avatar will also show up in gmail contacts. The whole think is convoluted but it finally is working for me except Google Voice sent sms.

[Q] Contact Display Picture not showing up in Hangouts

In hangouts, if the user is not part of G+ and is just a regular SMS contact, they get set with the default blue person icon. I have pictures set for those contacts, but everything I do will not show the set profile picture.
Is this the way hangouts is designed? It's annoying seeing the blue person (which I assume is set by google if they dont have a g+ profile). when I had set pictures for all my contacts.
Any work arounds?
