GoSMS Pro & Contact photos question

I don't think that's possible for GO SMS. However, Full Screen Caller ID can do that in conjunction with any SMS app.

 

I do this all the time in GOSMS. Open the picture that you want to use, then select menu -> set as -> contact icon. It opens your contacts and you can navigate to the appropriate contact.

 

This ^^^

Just open the picture you want to use in gallery or what ever picture app you use. In gallery...

1. Select the picture.
2. Press the menu option either on screen or the menu key.
3. Select the more option.
4. Choose set as
5. Choose contact icon.
6. Choose contacts.
7. Select appropriate contact.
8. Crop picture as wanted
9. Select save disc icon at the top right of the screen.
10. Rinse and repeat.

 

nvm. Misread

EDIT. I'm not sure if I misread the OP. I think he wants it that whenever someone sends him/her a message, he wants the notification icon to be a picture of the person. The instructions you gave him just puts a contact photo, which should already be there in GO SMS if you had contact photos in the phonebook in the first place.
