Turning off contact letters - Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The contacts app in KitKat displays huge letters in a box when there is no picture available for a contact.
I find this very annoying, and confusing.
How can I turn it off and get the old behaviour of showing an abstract puppet image?

weird dialer problem

Since a few days I have this weird dialer problem. Normally when I look up a name in de dialer and I scroll down the list, the dialer always shows the number of that contact. This function suddenly disappeared.
when I type for example 323 I would get a matching list of contacts. When I scroll down that lis, 323 would stay in the upper bar instead of displaying the corresponding number of that particular contact.
Does anyone have a solution for this?

[Q] Displaying phone number in text messages

I've noticed in some of my text message threads the phone will display that contacts phone number alongside their name. With other contacts it will simply display their name alone.
Does anyone know how to toggle this feature on and off? Or what causes it in the first place? I've looked around and I can't find anything that lets me know why its doing it.
It's kind of annoying to see a phone number next to every text message when a name will suffice.

[Q] Weird dots in icons, contacts and widgets

Hi everyone,
Since 4-5 weeks my phone is not displaying icons, contact details and widget text properly. The words are not completed, there is three dots (like an ellipsis). Only first letter is shown, followed by these 3 points and few more letters.
Sometimes the words go back to normal or affect icons only, contact only, etc. it is completely random. I can’t think why this is happening, what app is guilty or what to change at settings.
Here are some phone details and screenshots. Hope anyone knows how to solve this problem. Thanks.

Problems to display relatively long emails

Hello,
I'm using cm-11-20140916-UNOFFICIAL-s2vep.zip, coming from stock firmware and I noticed the following issue displaying mails:
If I read an email (exchange or imap) with relatively long text, only a part of text is shown and below a gray area.
It's not about downloading the whole mail content, but a display problem, because if I unzoom, more text is shown and if I zoom, less text is shown, and gray area is still in the same place.
Screenshot is attached.
thank you

fullscreen caller pic by default

hi all,just wondering if there was a way to make the caller picture fullscreen instead of a circle even for unkown numbers,been looking arround to see if it was possible to edit the dialer apk and replace the circle with a simple black solid background but without success.
well,two days and not a sign of an answer or a suggestion!!..looks to me it's not a possible thing to do,so i'll stick to that small ugly circle that appears everytime I call or they call me.
I've noticed that favorite contacts have full screen pictures, others are with small circle.
yes indeed,favorite contacts have that option,the thing is how to make it fullscreen by default for all callers even those that are not on our contacts list.the incallui would have a cleaner and sleeker look I guess.
