I really like the built in contact manager that comes with android, but i'd like the ability to see the photos in a larger format (clicking on a contact and have an option of seeing a blown up photo) and I'd like a larger photo on caller id. I've seen various apps that manage your contacts, but I'd like to stay away from running extra apps on my phone. Is there any way to do this?

Check out this link for a mod to the Dialer/Contacts app.

Features: Dialer: Ability to set certain programs for voicemail Themeable background: custom_background_dialer.png in drawable-finger Changeable digits color Haptic feedback function

Call Log: View total incoming/outgoing call time in call log Show actual time in call log, instead of relative time Show contact pictures in call log Hide the green dial button, when this is hidden, tapping on the arrows showing incoming/outgoing/missed call will dial the number instead. That is, they replace the function of the green dial button. Ability to clear all logs of a particular user or number (long-press on the entry, it's in the context menu) Ability to clear all logs of a particular type (missed, incoming, outgoing) Call logs are now grouped Ability to change the size of the contact picture when viewing an individual's call log

Contacts: Navigate directly from contact info (works with M4ps and rooted Maps, it doesn't make sense actually, if you're rooted you shouldn't be running M4ps). Show dial button in Contacts/Favourites, saving you one step before you call the person. Add/remove contacts from Groups I've tested this quite extensively. It works when creating a new contact or when editing an existing one. Ability to change the size of the contact picture when viewing a contact. Alphabetical separators in contacts. Ability to create/rename and delete groups! System Groups and Starred in Android are shown but not editable though. Access this by pressing Menu in either Contacts or Favourites. Ability to take a picture with the camera directly when adding/editing a contact. Added copy to context menu when viewing a contact so you can copy a contact's number, address, email, etc. directly. Thanks to vinz0r for suggestion. Added preference to hide all "Text/SMS" actions except for mobile numbers. Thanks to nolageek for suggestion.

Favourites: Ability to clear frequently called numbers. Ability to hide frequently called numbers

Misc: Enable/disable auto-rotation based on sensor
