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,
Chris
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!

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.

Q&A
1) How to install?
Do it at your own risk. Remember to do a nandroid backup before going further.
You need a rooted Samsung Galaxy S3 International(GT-I9300) with stock android v4.2.2 leaked, boot into recovery mode, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, wipe dalvik cache, and wipe battery stats. Then, choose "Install zip from SDcard", located your zip file and start install this rom. I recommend not to change the default selection of apps when you prompt to "choose apps to install"(Reason: To decrease the RAM usage while you may install it from Play Store, Samsung Apps Store or others third party store.)
2) Why I don't have all the apps?
You can download from the link attach in the Download Links section below.
3) Why some of the apps not shown in the app drawers?
Some of the apps is just a link to the main app and provide shortcut within the main app. For example: Gallery app can link to Collage app and it only available when you select multiple pictures and hit the menu button. Under menu, there is an option to "Create collage".
4) How can I get the Travel Wallpaper for my lockscreen?
You can set it by press and hold on empty space of your home screen to get to the instant setting menu or hit the menu button on home screen -> Select wallpaper or go into Settings -> My device -> Display -> Wallpaper -> Lock screen. For the pop up setting menu, choose "Travel Wallpaper" to enable it.
5) How to change to the default S3 camera?
You can download the "Other apps" zip file included in the Download Links section below. The default S3 camera and Nexus 4 camera is included in this zip file. Just extract and replace the apk in system/app.
6) Why I can't paste the files given to system/app?
It is due to the limited size of system partition which break down your paste operation to system. You can manually delete the apk from here and make sure you are remount the system to rewritable (R/W) before modify the system apk and files.
7) I use My Files, but I can't go into system/app?
You can use Root Explorer or other file manager to browse to these system files and you need to grant permission for these apps to modify your system.
8) Why I get this notice "Your system is modify, system update is unavaible..." when I enable "System update" from notification panel?
This is due to the SuperUser apk which has modify your system kernel and it is preinstalled in this Rom. If you want to unroot your device, then you need to go into SuperSU app and fully unroot it using the setting option in it.
9) When I choose to install certain recommended apps like dictionary from Optical Reader, the Samsung Apps give me this message "Product does not exist in this store(4002)"?
This is because there are some specific apps which are mainly distribute for S4 users only.
10) Why the S Memo do not sync memo from my Google and Samsung account?
S Memo in this rom only can sync memo that are created by using this version only.
11) Group Play in this Rom does FC or not?
All of the functions are working now including music sharing.
12) How to install the apps in "Other apps" included in the "Download Links" section?
Extract zip to SD card and install it as a normal app.

Not recommend if you are upgraded from other ROM...Fully backup before perform any update...TQ...
This time, on this version, YOU can change or add any apps from Aroma Setup if you has miss or select the wrong apps that you want to install by rerun the Aroma Installer without any wipe, deselect any unwanted apps and select ONLY the apps that you want to replace or add. For example, you want to add Nexus 4 camera and change lock screen light effect to other effect, simply deselect all of the apps and just select Nexus 4 camera and other light effect and then press NEXT to continue till reboot.
***PS: ONLY apply for apps under these categories: Black or White?, Lock screen Light effect, Battery Mod, Accuweather widget, and Camera.***
*****PPS: First thing to do after finish setup: Open SuperSU, drag to right to go to setting, then change "Default access" to [Grant] and uncheck "Show notifications" checkbox. Secondly, open Air Call-Accept to activate this feature...*****
Another REMINDER: Deselect Google Keyboard in Aroma Setup. If you want Google Keyboard, download it from Play Store or download from HERE: Google Keyboard --- Download it and install as normal app...
Tips: If you have setting the Google Keyboard as your default keyboard, you need to degreenified it in Greenify app in order to keep it permanently as your default input method...
From Black and White? till Camera, if you want to change to another, deselect first before select the new one...Thanks...

I see that you already have version 2.5 beta

Downloading
There's only S4 camera app or also S3 stock one? Because I need make videos. Thanks.
Edit: I see your rom twice in DevDB, maybe it's a mistake?
After some hour of usage, I can see this is a good and stable rom. The Aroma installer is simple to use, but the first boot installer crashed and a widget is not working (I forgot wich one in the second or third page), but the rest is very good.
I'll test the battery usage in this days, but the base is solid, so I don't think this will give us issues.
Thanks and good luck.

Included both camera S4 and S3, as well as camera Nexus 4.3...
First time moved to DevDB, so not very familiar with it, then import the project twice, and that's the reason the thread is duplicated...
