!!NEW!! Default photo contact pics that match your theme

If these better match your theme, just copy these GIFS to your PPC (anywhere, I put in mine in Storage Card) and then go to Photo Contacts -> Tools -> Set Default Photos and change the defaults from there. Make sure you keep the original size (218x72).
Graphics, size and speed are exactly the same as the original!

hi
how did you make them.. ???

Just copied the originals to PC and with a GIF animator I got the 2 seperate files for each animated gif, re-coloured them and used the GIF animator again to create the new animated gifs.

Any way possible to change the last one that has that generic Smartphone with our beloved magician? That would be sweeet!

Nice work, man. It now matches perfectly with my theme,
Thanks

I-Contact greater Profile-Picture

Hey Guys,
i´d like to know how i can make the pictures bigger. (I mean in general not icontact, they will be zoomed in S2U...)
I mean, the small outlook picture is normally zoomed to fit the screen, is any kind of possibility to replace it with a big one?

As you said the programs managed the size of the pictures, like S2U2.
Most of the programs have standard sizes for the pictures, so you cant change anything.
In general I would post such request in each thread of the applications
you would like to have a bigger picture.
It would make more sense.
Here nobody can help you, I gues.
good luck.

It sounds like you assigned picture to your contact in Poutlook. If you use s2v to assign contact picture then you can have the big pictures.

Contact Pictures

Which image size do you use for the pictures of a contact ?
I tried almost every combination but the picture of a contact/people in the Touch Flo 3d still remains of poor quality .

I was about to start a thread about this too. The biggest pain is that there is no sample picture you can use to make your own pictures the same size. Does anyone know the answer?

256x256px 72dpi

After some research I found it. The resolution is 256x256. I use a PNG, but jpg works as well. I found out by looking at one of the avatars you can use when you have no picture of your own. Now the contacts picture looks perfect

How do you do it?
Take a pic of the person, crop the wanted part and downsize it?

Yes,
that's what I will do.
I will replace all of my contact photo's in Outlook that way.

Perfect??
I'm using a 256x256 JPG or PNG as well at 300 dpi...and it is still poor...

?
Ok I tried it . The result is better but still far from perfect.
Does someone has another idea ?

I´ve heard, but not tested, that you could use S2V (Slide to view) to add contacts´ picture without downsizing to low resolution.
If anyone tries it and works, tell us here.

Could someone post how contact picutes look like on the HD so we can see whats you mean when you say its bad quality...
Thanks!

Thanks
Thanks HelderJr I tried 2SV and that worked perfectly.

There is a setting when taking pictures with your phones camera to take contact pictures.. also for some strange reason when you use the pictures and videos program to add a photo in your library as a contact image the quality looks like crap. What looks best to me on the touch pro is open the Album program and add an image to a contact from inside the program. The contact picture quality looks much better.
Now this could turn out different on the Touch HD, but it works like this on my Touch Pro.

The thing that I dont like with TouchFlo 3D Photo Contact ... There is no standard "matrix" view of the photo contacts, for example 5 x n number of photos.
With TouchFlo 3D, we need to scroll to the correct photo and take action.
It is nice to see that 3D animation, but it is better to have an option for the user interface like the old HTC HOME.

Correction
2SV does the job. But !!!!!!!!!
Touch Flo 3d became extremely slow especially when reaching the tab "PEOPLE" and even crash down . Has to perform a soft reset and then 2SV doen't seem to work anymore.
So back to first question .

recorrection
UTVOL has it right.
Using the album(program) to assign a picture to a contact does almost the job.
Picture quality in tab "People" is largely improved but still not perfect.

... i think you must save in 72 dpi to avoid resizing by the HD ... in 300 dpi, there is a resize to web definition.... i 'm currently trying becaus ei have same problem, ...i will post the answer later ...hope it works.

Add photos from Album
Hi, try to add photos to your contacts from Album application

the difference is tremendous ... see samples:
1. foto used in both tries
2. set in outlook and synced via activesync
3. viewed with touch hd fotoviewer and saved to contact

so are you saying we should use 446 x 446 res?

No!
256x256 pix. but you need to set it from the phone. Copy the picture to device, open it and set to contact. Outlook will blurr it.

Spare Original Wallpaper pic file copy for me?

After a strange sync session all my file in phone memory disappeared, including all my notes.
My system is fine, and the nothing was important on the note. However I do miss the included rainbow colored bubbles for my wallpaper. Call me old fashioned but I just like the ones included with the phone.
Anybody got back uped ones can e-mail me?
Please PM me and I'll send you my e-mail!
Thanks!

Which one of these ??
PS: I converted from png to jpg to reduce size

They both look good... I didnt even know they were on the x1... will have to look those up...

Yeah! They do look pretty good. The 1 on the right works quite well with Touchflo3D!

I'm using your touchflo3D theme right now (thanks btw) and love'd it if you could consider these 2 as the background for all taps!

does anyone know where the original wallpaper is located?

original (or better say your "current") wallpapers are /windows/st_water****
2 files: landscape and portrait

Picture quality changes in the people tab. Why?

Hey all.
I am using the HTC Diamond.
WHen i store a picture to any contact and view it on the Peoples Tab in the TF3 the quality is horrible.
I tried to edit the picture as 256X256 which is equal to the default pics ,.... but still st does not impeove..
but when i choose the default pic in the tab. the pic quality is awsome.
why ?

Better way is to add picture to your contacts directly from album - not in contacts - that works for me better

Yea thats what i do. stll the quality is not good enough....

hmmm...and are those pictures captured by Diamond?? What for a resolution??
and could you give a screenshot??

well just bought the phone so not able to give you the screen shot but
tried by pics captured from my diamond as well as digi cam.
the resolution is
256 X 256
depth is 32 bit
72 dpi..

Does anyone here knows how to have a super image quality in the peoples tab.

Not sure if resizing the pictures to such a small format is a good way
Ok when you´re in album - picture with 3,2mpx resolution add to contacts - then the quality in people tab is bad??

Yea its stll bad dear

So for now I don´t know what it causes ´cause for me worked adding pictures from album and not in contacts..
But some time ago I saw here a thread about this issue so I´ll take a look

I had a similar problem I got around it like this..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2824740#post2824740

Resize to 240x320

you don't have to resize. The issue is with the fact that win mobile on its own isn't designed to show high res images that the diamond outputs (since most touch phones don't have a super high res screen). All you have to do is go to favorite tab and using that interface to add a picture for that specific person. The TF3D software will bump the resolution for you so that the image appears right.
People > Menu > Change picture

I think it's a problem from outlook. When you add a picture in outlook from your computer, you see the visit card and the picture you add is low resolution. But adding picture by the HTC album keep the right resolution. But you can sometime have an error when synchronizing with outlook after that.

HEy guys.
thanks everyone for your coments and suggestions..
after trying nearly for 2 days all differenent propositions...
i have almost solved the problem..
the solution..
1.Change the image from JPG to PNG
2. Change the image resolution to 256X256.
3. Increase the DPI to as much as possible... pref 300 DPI
4. Click on the menu on the peoples tab and change the picture.
by this i am getting very good resolution and clarity to my pics.
Please add more coments or suggestions to this.
Thanks.
SIdd.
