How to get rid of droid in-call picture - HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity

Ok. I have tweaked the living heck out of my new droid phone, with much frustration and glee . One thing I'd REALLY like to change is this goofy green droid picture/art that pops up when you're on a call. Please. Please tell me there is a way (I am rooted and everything) to remove this, or install a dialer that'll cover it up. Thanks a lot.

That only happens if u don't have a contact photo saved..I think

You are correct Sir.
Add pics to your contact list. Fixes it every time

So you're saying I'd have to do that for all of my contacts?

Well, if you have Facebook, it's super easy. SNS syncing takes care of that, and will attempt to make connections by name similarity, identical email addresses or mutually supplied phone numbers.
Also, if your contacts have a Google profile that you've linked to in your email contacts, that'll do the trick.

Personally the only time that happens is wrong number calls.. other than that i usually have pics for all my contacts ha but if you could change default pic that would be cool
one other thing... not sure if new to coming to an android phone but droid and android are two separate things Droid is a phone Android is an operating system Droid is made by Motorola sorry just bugs me when people say "oh nice droid!"... i feel like im doing at least a little something when telling people this

If so, you'll wanna replace these images in Phone.apk -

I'm curious as to what you are wanting to put in the place of the Android pics

[Q] Can Someone Please Screen Capture Their Staus Bar -for anyone on O2 UK contract

I have not yet rooted my Samsung Galaxy S sadly so I cannot do this myself. My PC is also broken so I cannot do much of anything at the moment.
I am basically after a simple screen capture of the standard status bar, including most importantly the UK English O2 network in it.
Basically like this (but perfect capture quality, not poor camera shot like mine ), the O2 instead of my T-Mobile network. So I can fool people into thinking I am on O2 basically when I show my phone, they wont know its a picture.

Hopefully it is a simple thing to do and it would really help me out I would usually just look about and find one such screen and edit it in photoshop to O2, but as my PC is playing up its a bit hard at the moment.
Thanks for looking and keep up the frankly amazing work, I love reading this place, but have yet to dip my toes into the actual forum. Guess this is as good a time as any to start.
J.P.
Is there something I have missed in this request?
Ahhh it is for priority cue jumping at O2 music events. I have an old never use anymore O2 Nokia phone and my new T-Mobile Galaxy S, so I have to take 2 phones to do the cue jumping at the moment.
If I just port over this screen to my Galaxy S, then I only have to show my Galaxy S screen.
Strange request I know, but it should save me a lot of time, and more importantly not needing to carry around two phones

OK, it makes sense. Not a bad idea.
I did hope there was an App out there that could change the Network to a new name, could not find one sadly. Mind you I may get more response if I asked that question as I think I worded this one a little oddly

Thanks, that is so kind of you.
I have messaged you with an email link if you would kindly send it to me.

Oh em effin gee notification issue

Okay. I don't even ask for help because I know as soon as I do, first reply is "google it ho." I don't even register for these sites because of that.
With that said, if there's already a thread about it let me know because god damn, theres a little new message icon won't go away!!
I've been searching for an answer for a while now. I'm pissed because it shouldn't be that difficult !!
Before you respond you should know I'm pretty versed in standard usage. I KNOW that with 2 apps that do the same things, you'll get 2 notifications. (Obviously not from handcent/messaging)" Problem is where the **** is it from!! Has anyone seen this specific icon?
I have perception 8w/voodoo directly off of the thread here. Was fine until I restored all my apps(nodata) with titanium backup, then every message it shows up, wont go away until I actually hit clear, does not automatically delete after reading.
*XDA says i can't post photos because im a new user, ill email

Try it out, and tell me things that will make me better. If you think it is good than please rate it, and leaving a comment saying so on the market. If you think it sucks, than please send me an e-mail or PM about why you think so. Thanks!
Tried it. Couldn't get it to do anything though. When I press it it doesn't tell me anything. Other than that, unless its just me, I would suggest making it into a widget. If it were a clock widget that you could press to hear the time (for those sunny days where its hard to see the screen) then it would actually be a pretty handy app for this and other phones with smaller low resolution screens.

Oh hahahaha You're right. That was stupid on my part.
Oh and BTW guys I put out version 1.5 I am going to try to figure out how to make an app into a widget for the 2.0 update.

How to find the culprit?

I have froze all the recently installed apps and I still get a "notification" for an "improved market" how can I find out which app is causing this crap? Here's a pic

Install Air Push Detector. That should help you identify it.

I don't know why It does that. I've found if you save the picture you can see it clearly.

Thanks, I downloaded it and the other one he recommends. I get this ad a few times a day so I should be able to pinpoint the app by tonight or in the morning.
If you have a music download app that is the culprit

The only music apps I use are rhapsody (for a year and a half) and Google music (since I got a beta invite months back) , and neither have given me any trouble. The rhapsody app is actually much better than their PC client.
Weird
I can see screenshots fine on the desktop, but when i use the xda app on my phone, they're always blurry, who knows. Sorry to derail.

No problem, the issue was resolved anyway. I don't know why that is, but I have the same problem viewing pics that were posted using the app when I'm browsing on my PC, phone, or tablet. BTW, I used photobucket to post that pic.

Images in text messages ?

Not sure , never had this issue before. I receive some kind of low quality images with some of my text messages. Can anyone advice what it is please and how to turn off? Thanks.

It basically shows a preview of any internet url, not sure about webpages that don't have photos. The preview kind of sucks as it's limited but somewhat gives you an idea. That way you don't have to click on the url to figure out what it is if it's not familar to you.
One example, one of my lil brothers used to send me youtube links that were gorey, etc. He knows I don't like viewing them. Now he can't trick me anymore.
Or if you happen to receive spam texts or texts from parties unknown you can get an idea of what the link is instead of having to visit a url that might be harmful. I don't know, I've never received spam texts or from people I don't know but just a thought.
I can see how it can be annoying to some but at least we have the option & can turn it off as desired. To add, the stock Gallery has a new feature I've never seen before (maybe the S8 had it, I don't know). If you take a screenshot of a website it'll include the url so you can visit tge page again in the future. I have it turned on but have not tried it yet.
