Okay, the title sounds like bad English, but I'm wondering if it's possible to set a contact picture for "Myself", rather than it showing a random androgynous creature from Avatar...?
Is that fair, or am I just being vain...?
? just save your number in the contacts and then add a picture of yourself the same way you do for other contacts?
Oops sorry thought I was in X1 forums so this may not be applicable.

Sure you can, in your contacts list hit "My number: 06XXXXXXXX" . In case your number is not there and the X10 says: Sim unavailable or something similar. Then take an old phone, put in your sim and setup your own number.
Once that's done the X10 will recognize your own number. Once you click 'My number: 06XXXXXX" , you'll see a contact named 'Myself', then hit edit and add your picture just like you did on all the other contacts.
Good luck!
Duh... you can too... I thought I tried that, but obviously not...!
Thanks...!

I was wondering if their is anyway that i could Put a pic on all the Contacts i call the most or the ones saved in the Today Screen. What i mean is like Having a pic of their face instead of just saying the name.
Any ideas?

Use PocketCM, it gives you the pictures that you want, a new intercface adn it's extremly skinnable.
Pocketcm.com
if you are using outlook for you contacts just go down to edit then change photo
if you go in to the contact list...find your contact...and then edit their information, there is a section that says "Picture"...just click on it and choose a picture you want to have show up for that specific contact.
It's on the tip of my tongue, but I forgot how to make the phone recognize who I am. I'm in my contacts list, but how do I make the phone realize that that contact is me? For example, in Messaging, the threads boil down to who you're talking to, ex, Allison would be who I am texting, but for my bubble it says 'me', and a place for a picture. I think if I made the phone realize that I was that contact in my phone, pictures would appear where they need be and certain info relating to me would also appear when needed. Make sense? So basically I just want to know how to make that possible (I know how I just forgot and it's bugging me).

Just add yourself to your contacts with your full name, phone number, e-mail address, and picture. This should do it.

Well that's the thing... I am in there as myself, picture, email, phone number, emails, address, everything essentially, but for some reason my picture doesn't show up in the messaging app, and I don't think my phone knows it's me.
But it has to know it's me, because of my account sign in through google... Hmmm.
Click..menu..settings..about phone
I bet your "my phone number" shows as unknown?
Need to put your SIM into another mobile that allows you to edit the number.

Oh lawdy that was it. Thank you so much man! I had to call AT&T to unlock the old MOTORAZR that has that capability. haha
Hello everyone I have tried searching for this but cant not find it. the one link that I did find returned a dead page.
What I am asking today is in reguards to CyanogenMod 7 and messaging. I text a lot and find it annoying that the "Me" in messages does not have my picture in it. Before I went from stock everything to CM7 I had the ability to edit me contact card and this allowed my pic to display for my messages sent. But now I can not find out how to do. I was told to do Settings > Call Settings > Additional Settings > My Phone Number but I do not see additional settings.
While it is not a big thing it does annoy me as my OCD kicks in and I see received pics of the contact but an android bot as my pic. Can anyone help me out with this.
BTW here was the dead thread link

I'm not sure if this is the right way or what, but it's pretty easy. Just create a new contact using your own phone number. Name the contact 'Me'. Then select a picture of yourself to set as the photo for the 'Me' contact. Save your changes. Your picture should now appear in the text mesaging threads as the Me contact.

I will try this to see if it will work, but that will last till my OCD kicks in when I try to make my contacts look better LOL.
Will post back if it does/does not work.
Edit- Thanks k2buckley that did it. Appreciate the help with that. But having "Me" in my list will bug me in a bit I am sure. Stupid OCD LOL

It should work. I use that method on every AOSP rom I've ever used, because I also hate seeing the blank spot on the 'me' contact. Should work no problem.
Here is the link:

My text has my gmail picture....I think I uploaded it to latitude once and it got associated with gmail.
Anyhow, you should be able to add a contact pic to your gmail and it will show up.
My phone also has the same picture in my contacts where I have put all my information for myself. I didn't associate it with this contact, so it must be done through Gmail.

Probably the "Owner" card when you pull down the notification bar and go to quick setting.
Click the card twice, and click edit.
Go into the People app, make sure there is a contact containing your information. Pull down the notification shade and select the quick settings icon (or pull down using two fingers). Press and hold the owner square (top left) and select the contact card.

Hi,
klvnhng:- I have provided the snapshot. On pulling down the notification bar it shows "OWNER" icon, I want to add detail to it.
exb0:- Yes, you are right, but on clicking the icon twice it tells "The contact doesn't exists". Even if I have made a contact by "OWNER" name in my people list.
Please help guys.

im sure u wud have used a particular gmail id for logging in
create a contact with that email alone and tthen check that space..
i have my logging email as the owner
pls see if it helps..
if so let me know:victory:
Are you syncing contacts with Google? On my owner square it has my Google + profile picture. Maybe try setting up an account picture through that. I never even seen "owner" on my square, just my picture.

Yes you are right, I use a particular email for logging in.
"create a contact with that email alone", I didn't get you.
creating a contact with the email that I used to logging in, is it?
Doesn't it ask you to fill out your name when you first start up the phone?
That's where I see my owner info from...

Hi,
Actually my cousin bought it for me from the US. And he started the mobile first.
So it didn't asked me for the "Owner" set up.
Please sort it out.

After unrooting & setting my Nexus 4 backup, I skipped the part in the setup to add a owner of the device. After awhile trying different things, I managed to get my owner info back on the phone.
All you need to do is add your info to the People app, Then it will show in the notification area that you are the owner. Or you could sign into Google+ & your owner info will sync back to your phone.

My device is not rooted, adding my info to "People App", how??
I mean name, email address, contact no. etc.
Please clarify.
Hey guys, quick question!
My contacts are showing up in the contacts bit but when I get phonecalls and messages I just see numbers. Even though I have the contacts saved. Any ideas what it may be?
I'm on X note 5.1 and have lots of xposed settings installed, non of which modify the dialer or contact storage.

Do you have call display as part of your cell package? I believe you need that service activated in order for you to see incoming contact info.
If you do have that service, maybe call display is turned off in your options?

I think I know the problem ur having, so I'm gonna attempt to help. This happened to me and for the life of me couldn't figure out the solution. But then after a few minutes I got it. What u wanna do is open up ur contacts then hit the menu button and choose "contacts to display". Once that page pops up pick the one that says "device". Now back out to ur contacts again, then pick a contact and insert whatever may be missing. For me it was all the pictures. So I had to apply all my pictures over again. I think this is what is going on with ur contacts. Once ur done adding pictures go to ur messages or ask someone to call and u should now see all their info including pics. I hope I was able to help u. If I was all the way off base, sorry for post.

Ahh, see, depending on what package you have here, it's an extra feature you need to pay for, so thought it might be something to consider. I have no idea how cell packages are structured outside my local carriers.
