[MOD] Improve Synced Contacts Picture Resolution

---

Here's a mod to improve the resolution of synced contact pictures, so no more pixelated pics Now I have only tested this with exchange contacts as that is what I use but from what I read, Gmail saves it in a 96x96 format on their end, so this might not help too much if you use that but test and post if it does or not.

After applying this mod, you will need to either clear data on contacts storage or remove & readd the e-mail account that has your contacts so it imports them with the new resolution.




And for the devs, the mod is actually quite simple, decompile the ContactsProvider apk and mod these values in the values/integers.xml but please remember to give credit

<integer name="config_max_display_photo_dim">2048</integer>
<integer name="config_max_thumbnail_photo_dim">768</integer>

Thanks. :)

seems to be working well for me, pictures aren't perfect but still an improvement. Thanks!

edit: using gmail, and after looking closer, doesn't seem to have made a difference.

Since you are messing with the contacts app, can i direct you to this thread and see what you think??

Nice! Any chance this will make it to ht EG4T?

I don't see any difference with Google contacts.

As posted in the op, Gmail saves contacts at 96x96, you'll never make them look pretty until Google changes that. Your contacts would have to have a picture up on Google+ for higher resolution pictures.

I saw that, just confirming it wasn't working.
