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...

Guys,
What should i do to make the contact photo in my diamond looks bright like in htc.com (the demo).
Already photoshoped the photos and no matter how great and how bright i edited the photo, but still in the contact section of touchFLO 3D the photo looks blur.

I suggest:
1. Low resolution of the picture (120x160 pixels is the size I believe)
2. Use High contrast to make clearer.
thanks.....i'll try that....

Wrong!
Contact photo picture should be 256x256 pixels!
MOD: Please post in relevant forums. This is ROM Development!
ok thanks....sorry about the wrong thread in wrong section thing ..
Go to the picture you want to set with HTC Album. If you want you can zoom in on the picture to crop. Then you can choose "save in contacts" (or something like that: i have a Dutch device) by pressing the right menubutton.
Your contactspicture will be set in the right resolution now!
finally, it works....thanks guys......
Can someone advise me how to get pictures from my pc to fit on the today screen rather than the mosaic effect it produces. i would really appreciate some help on this as it is doing my head in
Cheers in advance
Think you have to edit the pics at your PC using Gimp or anything similar.
Make it at least screensize (That is 800 x 480). Notice tehre is a difference if you set the picture in landscape mode or portrait mode. Not the full picture can be display because taskbar cuts off some space (And softkey labels, too). Don't know how much that is, but certainly not more than 100px.
That's easy.
Use 800 x 800 pictures,
the same size as DEFAULT, preloaded pics on X1.
This way on HORIZONTAL view the part of the pic will be displayed without need to repeat it.
Understand: having 800 x 480 pic makes device repeat it to fill the 800 size in horizontal view.
Hope I'm clear.

1) Find the two images within the windows folder called
stwater_480_800 and stwater_800_480
2) Understand that st_water_480_800 is the portrait picture
3) Understand that st_water_800_480 is the landscape picture
4) Create your own custom images with matching or corresponding pixel resolutions: 480_800 and vice versa
5) Replace these st_water files with your custom images
6) Don't worry about replacing the st_water files... st_water files are never original files, so you do not need to back them up.

Actually that is for the TODAY screen. Unless there is such thing as the TODAY Panel? Or you just mean default?
That instruction is correct.
stwater_480_800.jpg is Portrait and stwater_800_480.jpg is Landscape. Just replace them with your picture and you will be set...

lol lol lol
the easiest way and the best way, is to make all images 800x800, browse to the folder using the pictures and video application, tap and hold the pic with the stylus until a menu appear and click on 'set as today background'
then set the transparency according to your needs, set it to 0% if you want the full pic to show as it is, then click ok
this is the best way to set your wallpaper in windows mobile
if your image is 800x800 then you have no issues with portrait or landscape
this method can set wallpapers in both L & P using one image as long as the image is at least 800x800, and yes you can use any pic
using this method you do not need to replace anything, this is a waste of time >>>stwater_480_800.jpg is Portrait and stwater_800_480.jpg

Not really, doing that makes the background look the way you please.
Instead of random way the winmo decides to display the 800x800 image, all out of focus and all over the place. Maybe the pictures of sky will look great but a picture of Megan Fox will look terrible!

no dude, obviously when u scale the pic to 800x800 you make sure her face would be center, then when u set it as wallpaper, adjust the box around the image in landscape mode, bcos obviously its already set centered in portrait once u made her face center b4 u scaled the image...btw megan fox aint getting no free marketing from me, she aint family to me so i aint want her face on my x1 lol that goes for any celeb
also note that this method allows you to move the box to set the image as you like,
now why would a person want to rename and replace images every single time i want to set a wallpaper?
i for one change my wallpaper almost everyday,on both my laptop and x1, and i do have tons of images on my memory card, changing a wallpaper should not be such a hard task as renaming and replacing, it should be simply selecting and adjusting
this method u can change a wallpaper in less than 6 seconds
the sony ericsson panel now is where u have no choice but make both P & L
in my opinion, making P & L 480x800 and 800x480 images for wallpapers is too much of a hassle and i would only do that if i wont be changing wallpapers for a long long long long time

agreed!
tried different resolutions...the best is 1280x800. Try it. no problem in landscape mode. 800x800 doesn't work well at all!!! it goes center in portrait mode but not in landscape mode
Haha, I never thought about this, because I have been using only one wallpaper since I got the device - pure black!
Let me point out a very nice app called "picture resizer" that helps a lot.
Arghhh how the heck are you guys getting your photo's to display correctly ( as wallpaper ) on the NC after you install any Launcher on the market !! ... this is horrible. The images are all zoomed in and cropped off no matter what I try.
Set it through the nook. Nook button -- settings -- home (under app settings) -- set wallpaper. This was mentioned in another thread, I'm just repeating the answer.
Search for Wallpaper Set & Save - that's what I used.

I tried that app. With any Launcher that I have tried, Set and Save still does not format the wallpaper correctly. Seems as soon as you replace the stock Launcher nothing will set a wallpaper correctly.
I wonder if there is a way to pull a stock wallpaper of the nook then push a new one into the /system/wallperps folder via the shell ...?
Check your other threads on this same topic and you will see I have already answered this for you. Go to the nooks original home screen and set the wallpaper there. Turn the device to landscape and discard the first try at wallpaper then select. You can just put a folder on your sd card called wallpapers and they will show up in the nooks photo gallery automatically.

Well I tried this again and still it crops the picture and zooms in. Are you getting the square crop box when you do this ?? I am. I am doing this...from home screen >long press home screen>click on change wallpaper>pick new picture from photo tab>move crop box as much as as I can>hit save. New wallpaper is zoomed way in and pixulated. :O(

Ok. When you get the portrait crop box - DO NOT hit save. Rotate the nook into lanscape first then Hit discard (trust me). When you discard the first image orientation it will give you the option to crop the same image in landscape format. Crop the second image option and then save that one.
Ps. You should see two tabs when selecting to set wallpaper. One labeled wallpapers the other should say pictures (I think). If not, try putting some wallpapers in a folder on you sdcard.

Ok I see now what you mean. And yes that did work ... sort of ... After I hit the discard button the picture reset and the crop box changed to a landscape size. But .. even tho the photo changed and the crop box changed, I can not fit the entire picture in the crop box. The picture I am trying this with is a portrate picture of my kids standing up. They fill the entire picture, but I can only get the new crop box to frame in either the top half or the bottom half of the picture. If the crop box was to rotate then they would fit in the frame perfect. Right now I can only see their chest and heads. But it did fix the problem about the zooming in. Any other thoughts mate ? and THANKS
Just to confirm, I'm trying the same method and seeing the same (picture doesn't fit) behavior.

hmmmm... what is the size/resolution of the image you are using? you may need to resize the image with photoshop or one of the free image editing programs. Maybe cropping the image on a pc then transferring to the nook. Glad this could at least get you started. Thanks for asking the question cuz I am gonna load pics on the two NCs that I got my kids for xmas so that they are personalized when they start them up that morning. Now I know that I have to do some photo editing before hand. When I get it done, I'll post a little tutorial on the steps.

I'm using the hummingbird pic from the stock NC pictures tab.
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
Hellò,
I would like to know why some contact pictures are showed in full screen while other, with same size and resolution are displayed very small.
I have assigned 3 picture with same size and resolution to 3 of my contacts but only one of them, when called (or when he calls me) the display shows the picture in full screen mode.
Does this happen to you also?
I don't want to use any application for full screen caller, I don't like it..
thanks for help
