i have pictures to some of my contacts.
in the contacts tab they look very blury.
what is the best resolution for this function?
the best are 256x256 pixels, because builtin rom pictures of unknown callers has the same resolution
However, when in Contact Picture mode, the built in camera takes 240 x 320 pixels pictures, so I would gather this is more appropriate?
Try 240x240.
non of those, tried all.
I'm using 480*640 for favourite people... Beautiful and very crisp...
If you sync contact pictures from outlook you can change it from Favourite people screen soft "menu" key..
I use many size, dependin on what picture i have. Myself, I use resolution range from 98x98 to anything bigger.
Then the Trick is, you don't add picture at Outlook, but instead, add picture at TF3D contact. That will get make picture stay very clear and sharp.
I do found that, contact I add with picture resolution at 98x98 (or something around that, i have both 98x98, 99x98, etc) stays clear after I flash rom and need to re-add people. Bigger resolution picture i added that were sharp and clear; some became blury after re-add.

great!!! that works.
There is a much easier way of doing this than resizing. You don't have resize any picture. I had the same problem until I discovered this very straight forward way.
1. Go photos and videos section of the touchflo.
2. click on the image you want to add to the a particular contact.
3. click on the image again once it appears by itself.
4. click on the icon on the far right, the menu icon.
5. select Save to Contact.
6. Choose the contact you want to assign the picture to.
You will have a very crisp picture.
Another method is this:
1. Go to the people section of your touchflo.
2. Add the contact you want to have appear there.
3. It will prompt to add a picture to the contact.
4. select one.
This will also appear as crisp.
If you already have the contact there all you simply change the picture using the menu. That should do it.
Thank you - that indeed works and the 3d pictures look nice and crisp.
Beats me what strange algorithm is behind that, but as long as it works...
Hey guys, new to the site and the Tilt, but Ive done a lot of research without being able to get an answer to this issue with setting the background.
The only way for me to set the wallpaper the way i want it is to set it from file explorer, by holding down on the picture and setting it as the background without having to go into Pictures & Video. Doing it this way however the background comes out very faded and it does not ask you for the option of setting the transparency level. However if I do go into Pictures & Video and do it through there the wallpaper gets cut up in Landscape mode and I end up seeing 1 and a half wallpapers.
Does anyone know how to change the transparency level without having to set the background through the Pictures & Video folder???? I mean its not the end of the world but its so frustrating that the wallpaper is either Normal but Faded, or Full Color but distorted. I love the tilt but this particular problem is making me GRRRRRRRRRRGHHHHHHH
Mine doesnt become faded if I go through the way the book that came with the phone tells me to . . . . . . . .
Start----> settings----> today----> check the box that says "Use this picture as the background"
Using the browser that pops up, select the picture you want to use . . . .
i did it that way and the picture is faded but the wallpaper does not get cut up in landscape mode, how did you get it to not fade is there another option to set the today background transparency??

easy way to make a landscape and portrait wallpaper:
Let's call base file a "tutor.jpg" (best size is 240x320 - portrait mode)
Now:
1. Copy "tutor.jpg" 3 times, so you get:
-"tutor.jpg",
-"Copy of tutor.jpg",
-"Copy 1 of tutor.jpg",
-"Copy 2 of tutor.jpg",
(or similar),
2. Open "Copy 1 of tutor.jpg" with Windows Picture viewer, and rotate it as you wish but for landscape mode.
3. Do the same with "Copy 2 of tutor.jpg",
4. Change the names of files:
- "tutor.jpg" to "stwater_240_320.gif"
- "Copy of tutor.jpg" to "tdywater_240_320.gif"
- "Copy 1 of tutor.jpg" to "stwater_320_240.gif"
- "Copy 2 of tutor.jpg" to "tdywater_320_240.gif".
5. Copy all files to /Windows directory and overwrite current one.
6. Put the phone to landscape mode, and then again to portrait - it will change all wallpapers.
Hope I'm clear with that.
Side note:
tdywater files are for today background,
stwater filer are for start menu background.
240_320 - portrait,
320_240 - landscape.
Little bit complicated, but best .
Cheers,

The best way to do this properly is to create a new theme (*.tsk) with ThemegenCE for the PC. Just do a search here or on Google and you will find it (freeware). It's a great app!
Use any image and the app will crop it accordingly for both landscape and portrait.
If this is a bit too dauting for you then use TKCreator which is a freeware app for the device itself and you can create your own themes right on your device. Images should be as close as possible to QVGA dimensions, but the app will allow some latitude for cropping.
Good luck!

Has anyone else noticed that when viewing pictures in the Album application in TF3D2, that the Gsensor appears to have no effect? Landscape pics appear in Landscape mode, no matter how you hold the phone, upright or sideways, and portrait pics appear in Portrait mode even if you've tilted your phone sideways.
Or is it just me? It's a bit of a pain if you're holding your phone in one hand and want to see all your pics the right way up!
(I'm not referring to slideshows, by the way)
This is strange, I've noticed it to. I'd like the photo album to auto rotate - any tweaks that anyone can suggest?
And even Gyrator doesn't rotate when viewing a picture. When i'm viewing the whole set of pictures, it works, but as soon as i select one, it doesn't. Strange...
Just wondering, how is the device to know what the bottom of the picture is? The picture could have been taken landscape or portrait, depending on how you held the device when you made it. IMO it's the best solution to just display the picture best fit on the screen...

The device does know. In the tab for pictures, it displays all pictures in their right aspects. As it also does in the gallery. Just not when you click on the picture to bring it up.

You're right, it does! I never noticed that. Clever..

It must be stored in the file somewhere...
...anyway, getting back to the point. The Gsensor has absolutely no effect when viewing pictures. I cannot hold my phone upright and view a landscape image. This seems wrong to me - I'm 100% sure my old Touch Pro used the Gsensor to determine which way to display your pics - this seems like a big step backwards!
Mind you, it'll all be moot in September when Winmo 6.5 comes out - TF3D will be pretty much redundant :O)
any program that can help on photos rotation? thanks.
i get the same problem
i have used gyrator2 but it just can rotate the interface and 180 deg

i tried gyrator as well and it doesn't work maybe i dont know how to set it
Dosen't the Photoalbum rotate itself?I think it rotates but lets the pictures in their original position/rotation.
The buttons rotate, right? The old photoalbum did a better job^^
I found it to be a very annoying feature on the diamond1.
Sometimes you just want to see a pictuer from another angel, and the autorotation made that impossible.

Yes. The Exif information of the pictures contains generally the Focal length, shutter speed, iso, date & time, sometimes GPS coordinates (can be added later with software, and some new camera include GPS), and of course orientation of the picture : landscape or portrait. It stores even if it was 180° rotated in portrait or landscape.

Olivier.
As stated....
I take a picture in portrait mode....click the little button to view the picture i took (inside the camera app) and it saves the picture sideways in landscape mode.
But, when i go to the Gallery app to view the picture, it displays correctly in portrait mode. So if i try to upload to facebook or send as an MMS, it turns the picture back to Landscape mode and sends like that, even though it displayed correctly in the Gallery. Even if i try to save the photo with it rotated incorrectly (thinking that it would turn the correct way when i sent it or uploaded it) it still shows up incorrectly.
The only fix i have found is to go to Gallery, view the photo, crop the photo (you don't actually have to crop anything, just select the whole picture) with it in the correct orientation and it will save a new pic in the correct orientation.
Come on, there has to be a fix for why it saves the picture incorrectly. I shouldn't have to make a full picture crop everytime i want to upload a pic or send it via MMS.
bump....
is this a common topic or what??
Use vignette to take photos and justpictures as gallery replacement set resolution to high in just pictures...this will keep photos sharper when zooming and cropping. The stock gallery app plain stinks
Swyped.....you may have to interpret
Hello XDA,
I'm back in school come September for my 5th semester of Computer Engineering, what I'm looking for is an app/widget where I can have a small photo of my timetable/schedule and when pressed will open up a larger picture of my timetable to check class locations/times and whatnot.
I've tried a few picture frame widgets but none of them really seem to have the ability to link to a larger picture where more detail can be seen (as the font is rather small and need the larger image to read). I would be happy if I could even create an icon called SCHEDULE that when pressed opens up the picture of my schedule, as long as its not as slow as navigating to my Gallery, selecting the folder in which the picture is stored, and then scrolling to find the picture of my schedule.
Does anyone know of an app or somehow that I can make this happen?
Cheers
