    Post [Q] How to get contacts to display HD image

    If I remember correctly Gmail downgrades the quality of contact images, if you want higher quality photos for your contacts try linking Facebook with your phonebook. It works well for me Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium

    Post Htc Hero = HTC Dream

    I suppose it is possible, the only things i would check to make sure your not short changed are the RAM & ROM, also maybe the camera. Other then that the specs are pretty similar, They even use the same ARM11 processing chip

    Post cool (less known) functions, hints and tricks?

    Woah that is freaky. They changed it in the latest ROM update. Okay, what I did was download ahome from the market place & ran it. That then undid the home button's association to touchflo/sense from there select home & your using vanilla android. Let me know if you can/can't follow my ramblings

    Post cool (less known) functions, hints and tricks?

    Its the same process you to enable both. All you are basicly doing is cleaing what the Home button does by default, when you press it again it will ask you what you want it to do
