HELP PLEASE?? Contact Photo Related - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

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......

Tytn 2 Panoramic Shots Inside

Just thought I would post a few photos using the 3mp panoramic feature, you may notice that some pics are slightly overlapped, couldn't help it as it was very windy and very cold and difficult to hold the phone steady
Photos were taken today in South Wales UK in the Brecon Beacons
Cut the size down a bit as they were huge.

Great place to visit and a nice 40min walk to the summit, on a nice sunny day the views are amazing
Here is some info on the place.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brecon_Beacons
Here is their main site.
http://www.breconbeacons.org/
Is it me or is there a greenish vertical stripe about a third of the way in on all those photos (+maybe another one 2/3rds of the way in)? How many shots were in the panorama?
Last time I was in the Brecon Beacons I had a 60 pound backpack on a 20 mile run They obviously look better when you're only carrying a camera and a sandwich bag
Great photos
Those are some really good shots!
Was there a lot of motion with the cloudcover or where they pretty steady?
They were steady.
I can't find the registries to enable 3MP in panorama mode, some help please?

I see them. Vertical bands where the picture is slightly darker, with a greenish hue. They aren't spaced exactly at 1/2, 2/3. But it must have something to do with the stitching.

Use KaiserTweak ! There are two registry values to edit...
Thanks for the suggestion but actually I wanted to keep my other registry settings so I didn't use the KaiserTweak. Anyway, I've figured out the registry settings and did the following changes:
HKLM\Software\HTC\Camera\P6\
Changing the DWORD value of MainCamCaptSize from 64 to 1024 and MainCamSupportCaptSize from 80 to 1748.
Is there a way to darken the part of the screen that is frozen in place to line up the 2/3 and 3/3 shots? I suck something awful at lining up the panorama shots.

what is the best resolution to contacts tab?

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...

Camera hangs after 3MP photo and photos are green

Hi everyone.
I searched for a similar problem in the forum and could not find it so, I decided to try this way.
I have a Touch Diamond for a month now. I noticed that after taking a photo with 3MP resolution, the camera hangs. I have to do a soft reset in order to access the camera again.
Another thing that happens is that the photos taken in all modes are green (except the ones with "L" resolution).
Does anyone have a similar problem?
The only advanced thing I did was to activate a few extra photo modes using advanced config.
Thanks a lot
JohnT
Just another hint...
Just another bit of info.
the photos are green on the touchFlo interface, not on the album. In the album they seem to be ok.
Thanks
More info

Correction:
The photos less than 3MP seem to be ok when seen on the thumbnail album interface. However, when seen on full screen all pixels are green an pink. If you see them on the PC, it's the same...green and pink weird.
If I have the courage, I'm thinking of doing a hard reset this weekend, just to be sure it is not an hardware problem.
Any inputs?
Thanks
I had the same problem until I discovered that the cause was a setting in my AdvancedConfig. I don't know i f you have installed that program. But the greens screens are due to the G sensor. It's a particular setting in the camera node that you have to change. It's something like turn photo with G sensor.
I hope it has solved your problem
Fixed! At least for a Touch Pro
I had the exact same problem with the green and plaid color pattern in thumbnails and the actual picture on my phone.
I have the Advanced Config 3.x program and I found out that I had to: Encode photos in portrait mode under the Camera options needs to be set to NO.
Works fine after that!

Advice on how to make background fit

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.

Camera Easy [free]

Hi
this is my latest creation, an easy camera app,
in short words, you can change the resolution on the fly and all commands (like resolution zoom etc.) are on camera screen.
And More when you click the image just shot don't blocks visual so you can shoot more fast.
here's the link to market
windowsphone-com/en-US/apps/1aa27aa6-5991-4798-97e3-73df8446db76
and this is the "official" text:
Camera Easy is a “easy to use” and practical camera application.
No complicated settings,
no unnecessary menus and submenus,
all settings are fast, minimal, easy to understand, and mains of these are on camera display, to avoid unnecessary clicks.
One important feature is that once a photo is taken, camera will not display image just taken, but continue to display camera image stream, so is fast to take multiple photos.
these are the main features:
- Self-timer
- Resolution, flash, self-timer, are all on camera display
- Digital Zoom
- Local photo gallery, with multiple rename, delete… to
- Save to phone gallery button
- Sound on / sound off
- Help screen
- Metro UI
- Free
thanks for attention

Nice App.
Can you add date and time stamp just like WM 6.5?

Thanks for comment , can you explain me better please, you mean in the foto...?
thanks

that's work fine
Can you also modify or add a widescreen resolution in the settings?.. and then label it with "6MP (16:9)" or "4MP (16:9)"?
Photos looks better this way in my opinion.
Looking forward to it, thanks for a nice app. I'll recommend it to my friends.

Hi I've upload a video on youtube for better explain how camera easy works on wp7, just a video help, here the link:
youtu.be_BVk9XLsKvME
I can't write links so subst _ with /
thanks
ok here's link and video I've found the way to post a link
http://youtu.be/BVk9XLsKvME
nice app
Thanks
very promising indeed, but you could add:
*Tap screen to autofocus+shoot
*theme colored buttons
*option to aways start on "take photo" mode
*remake flash icon to a thunder-arrow-like (flash icon usually is one); the actual icon looks like bright settings, therefore isnt so intuitive
*drop "owner identity" permission
>rotate pic(s) before save to galery
>while viewing a photo on "photos", slide left/right to show previous/next taken photo
>change icons to ones more like default camera app
>zoom buttons feels more confortable on the right(?)
## "overtake" camera shutter button (like the lumos app does to turn on/off his led flashlight)
"*" means the fundamental things are missing, in my humble opinion
">" means secondary tweaks,
"##" means utopia: all previous tweaks were achieved, people now use camera easy as their default camera app, pinned to their start screen, so now the one step left is to completely overtake the camera button
but offcourse, this are only my opinion; you may use them or not
but if you do, i'll be more then happy to beta-test it!
cheers
Hi
__That's work fine...

bytheway others are really good improvements
really thanks again
p.s.

glad i could help =)
about the "> Tap screen to autofocus+shoot", you mean you r not sure if its usefull/fundamental or if its possible?
Either way, it feels fundamental for me because of how precise it is (on the native app at least, as the physical button pressing may shake your phone and ruin the photo).
About it impossibleness, i think i test other camera app with this function, im not sure. Maybe you could do your custom buttons as a "mask" on the default camera app? Well, i dont know if it even makes sense since im no developer myself =p
About the twitter, i think you do can add it on your profile or signature, but as im new here, i woudnt trust me =$
oh yes, another suggestion i just thought: multiple shots! =)
im rooting for updates
take care
I'm just wondering. Why is the owner identity necessary?
Hi thanks again for your feedback, about autofocus "> Tap screen to autofocus+shoot"
is possible, but I not see the needs, bytheway I've seen somethings like that some mouth ago, but I see something like hold = focus and once focus shot...
and multiple shot is on the way
to npoe: ??? what you mean?
In the marketplace there is a list of function that the app uses and listed are:
Camera
Owner Identity
Music and Video Library
Phone Identity
Data services
Basically I would like to know why owner identity and maybe phone identity are used or necessary.

ok this is what microsoft add reading xap, I dunno how avoid this, and set only what I really need... in this case:
Camera!
Music and Video Library is put because I've include some lib to manipulate image (this lib made by microsoft, contains other services), data service I think and Phone Identity is used by microsoft ads...
it's the same for Owner Identity,
just to be clear nobody look your name, tel. number, but maybe ads service can put just something like cookie... so no fear...
for other question I'm here
Thanks for the answer. I just gave it a try and the app is fast; I'll try to find something cool to take some photos and let you know my comments.
