High Res contact images and full screen caller ID

Did a search on this, and found a thread mentioning exactly what i was thinking:

Android’s crippled low resolution contact photos drive me nuts. The only alternative I found is “Full Screen Caller ID”.

Is there something with open source out there, which does it similar or better?

My problems with “Full Screen Caller ID” (which allows an extra photo to be attached to each contact) are:

-non-free and no source code (lite version with ads exists)

-no one-stop “create new contact” editor (name, number, photo, notes)

-no photo driven assignments (from the gallery: this is Bob, that is Alice, ...)

-FC

-“on top” of the normal call screen, no 100% integration

-no volume-control

-no “notes” or other details listed on incoming calls

-what is the backup/restore file format?

Does anyone know another app for nice contacts/peoples photos/images? Is there any CyanogenMod- or even Android-wide improvement underway?

Thanks,

There is a nice full screen caller ID in rocketDial, but the problem is that it uses a low res contact image, which doesnot look too good..

yeah ive been looking for something better. it seem ridiculous that a full screen hi-res photo isnt the standard option when receiving an incoming call.

there is another issue that doesnt help here - google reduces the resolution any contact photos that are synced up to your google contact account.

u grab nice hi-res ones from fbook.

your contacts sync the hi-res ones up to google.

google reduces the size of the images.

then they sync back to your phone....

its a known issue.

I read about a workaround for preventing google from spoiling things up here:

But still the resolution isnt good enough for full screen...
