How to Change the contact's Default Icon - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
Is it possible to change the contact's default picture which you can see below in the attached file to an green android man like in other phones? I am sure it is, I just would like to know how.
Thanks in advance,

Go into contacts. Select the contact. Menu/edit contact. Tap the picture space in the top left. Follow prompts. Save.
Swyped on my rooted MyTouch4G

Well, I know that much, that's not what I meant. I want it to be changed systemwide, not per each contact. Like the one in the attached image.

There is no default picture. The image in the OP post is the default. No way to change that (that I know of). The droid contact pic is something somebody added to an individual contact.

That's incorrect. That is the default when the contact don't have a phone pic on a lot of full sense ROMs. We would have to dig in the contacts apk and change the png for it. Let me look..
OK, its in there. It's called
common_icon_default_avatar_300.png. we'll need the one from the evo, I know it has the Andy avatar. And maybe it's as simple add replacing it and naming it properly

Thanks man. I was going to correct the other person about him being wrong but I was not 100 percent sure. I would think it should just be a simple fix.

Ninja-morph?

I was gone try last night, just got track down the png we want. I'll probably have to download a evo rom and get it there

After downloading 3 evo roms, I found the png needed. Changed em with ninja morph but they didn't stick. Idk

thanks for trying man.

BTW; I specifically stated that there wasn't a way 'that I knew of'. Not a way that would perma stick.
So I wasn't wrong per say. I was simply exercising an educated guess.

It's cool bro. But I was referring to the someone set that as a profile pic part.

Who is brave here?
ADB Push attached Phone.apk to /system/app and let me know if that's what you're looking for.
Make sure to nand or at least save your original phone.apk

K, I tested it on outgoing calls... it's a little too late to ask people to call me.
It's not a full screen pic neither, like OP has, that would require some serious xml edits, and then, people with actual pics would look all stretched, that happened with G1's dialers back in the day. Looks much better then that bogus original pic.

Good job bro, it works for in call. How about the contact default. Without a assigned pic?

Very Nice.
just signed up - but I'm hesitant to put my email up there. PM'ed it to you, if thats ok.
Yeah, i changed the sign up sheet a little
After your great write-up on rooting 2.2 I have no problems testing your programs however when I click on the sign here link it asks me to sign in with my gmail account and I am weary about using my credentials through a link thats asks for that first. Can I pm you my email for testing? Thanks.
I pmed you, love to help out
hmmm, everyone should be able to see and edit the list.... no matter if they are signed in or not...
I was able to edit spreadsheet without being logged in.
As for the program, it works good for me. I haven't accounted any bugs.
except suggestion: make it so it only has to check environment once, it takes a little bit to run the check everytime.

Yeah, I thought about that, but I also thought about, what if they copy it to another computer, or they uninstall something, the flag would still be there saying the environment is clear, even when it's not. I will definitely take this into consideration.

It could be that I am accessing the link through my evo. I work nights so I wont be able to grab any links until I get home but I am definitely up for testing.
Oh, forgot, also please fill in your windows version on the spreadsheet. This info is very valuable for me and future programs

did have a question though, since it's creating a system/app folder, essentially this would override the one on your phone erasing pretty much everything, correct? I wanted to test the "push to phone"

Damn the time zones. I'm always asleep when you west coast fokers release new cool stuff
Just tested the program and everything looks good.
It's a good alternative to re-installing htc and sprint apps when the user has deleted them and didn't back them up.
Haven't tested the push to phone option yet and will have to make a most recent nand before I do.

Could it be to do with your version of Sense or something? Perhaps that's a version newer/older than yours (logically newer) and this isn't included in your version?

That should be easy enough, your arrows point to the little vertical bars on the far left, which most likely is a PNG image inside the apk, can you upload apk and i'll take a look see?

If I'm not mistaken it's supposed to be a UI feature of Sense, but for some reason nobody's been able to find it. Maybe it was part of the UI in a beta version but they simply forgot to add it in in the full version?

Is it a system apk? Or a third party one from the market? I didnt realise he was on sense. i thought it was like an email app he downloaded.

System apk (the stock Sense email app) and judging by the OP date and the bottom tabs it's for Froyo (not sure which one though)

Apparently is not persistent. On the next calendar update, the colors also get reset (as far as I have seen so far).

[Q] Edit Mini Apps tray on 6810?

I apologize if this has been discussed, I really did search and only found one place where this was asked, but there was no answer. According to the Samsung 7.7 features page it says this "Mini Apps : Upgraded so you can choose and edit your own Mini Apps tray. You can easily access favorite features such as Calendar, Email, or PenMemo as a pop up over full screen applications. " So obviously my question is this. How is this done? Or is it even possible on my model? Thank you and again sorry of this has already been addressed.
If you look at the bottom bar on your Tab you will see an icon that looks like an upside down 'v'. Click on it and it will bring up your mini-apps tray. You can launch those mini apps over the app you are in.

I think you misunderstood my question. I know about the up/ down arrow and the mini apps. But it says that is is Upgraded so you can choose and edit your own Mini Apps tray. So Im trying to figure out how to change them if its possible on the wifi only 6810. Thanks

Im not totally sure which one I used, but it might have been the one in post 19. But that one will change the icons as well. Im not sure where you might get one that is stock. The same author of that thread "Ssaass" makes an app called "Wizzbar" that might help you. I may be able to make one for you. Upload your systemui.apk and Ill see what I can do.

Ok, didnt think I forgot about you did you? I think this is what your looking for. The edit function shows up when you press the mini apps button. Lower right corner, cant miss it. This is all stock icons with edit function built in. Hope this is what you wanted. I tested this on my rooted stock 6810. Let me know if it works.
PS: For anyone that might want to know how I did it. All I did was use the "layout" folder in the Res folder from the apk that has the edit function. Then rezipped, changed name and permissions, and put back into system/ app.
Awesome... Thanks for your time. I'll try it when i get home tonight. I'm thanking you now anyway...

Yes, it works, thanks... But what I didn't expect is that you can't add any app you want, it's just limited to some samsung "mini" apps which really su**s!
I wonder if there's a way around that...
Thanks again I really appreciate it anyway.

Tasker would probably be your best bet.
http://tasker.wikidot.com/failedloginphoto
That is old school, but you could modify for your case.
first, i don't have root now.
second, i can start the app before and then to close the screen and to take pictures with pattern or press some place...
Wait, what?
Are u an spy or something? haha ;l
There are Gallery apps in the playstore that have a "private" function that require a password to view and some are just hidden?
Also with apps like QuicPic, and many others, you can long press on a folder and "hide" it... Then it's not visible while using that gallery app, but you can find it using a file explore or you can re-enable the view of that folder.
this is how upskirts happen
no .. i don't s[y or something like that even not something that rude, just want to take pictures and to send them to a specific number but...without opening the locked phone

You're not supposed to take pictures when you're taking a test, that would be wrong. And what comes to meetings, there's really no need to hide what you're doing with your phone.
i have my porposes i don't understand what these doing with the question? if you can help, help if not so not..belive me i don;t use it for illigal porposes, for thet there is special spy stuff
this is a funny post to read so far. But yeah i would not post stuff like that in here since i would make you seem very sketchy regardless what reasons may be. And good luck to find one
This is not going to go anywhere. Nor do I see anything good coming out of this. Thread closed.
