Looking for an app similar to PhotoMarkr, something to do customized watermarks on photos taken, directly on an android phone. I've found a couple apps that let you put text on a pic, but it's either too big, or requires me to draw a line, and I can never get them straight. Please help!

I don't know if this has been suggested before but I wanted to throw it out there. I think the picture in the dialer app while on a call is very small and not clear. Does anyone know if its possible to make the picture displayed bigger and maybe better definition? I'm sure there could be a software limitation but hope not.
Yeah, I hate how the Iphone has the whole screen filled with the caller's face and my phone doesn't. However I've always thought of this as an android problem.
Read somewhere that android only saves your contact photos as thumbnail pics. So when someone calls, android just blows up that thumbnail into a slightly bigger square, resulting in a very pixelated picture on the screen.
Sucks. I hope Google does something about this. I've no idea if a 3rd party app can solve this.
I'm probably not the first to 'complain' about this... but I thought I'd put it all together in one post and see if anyone was having the same issues, or same results...
So...
Trying to 'Sync' Facebook contact pics with my x10 contact pics - tried a few apps, and while most of them did the job to some degree, with varying results, but mainly the same level of disappointment, one thing I found with all of them was that the resolution was abysmal to say the least...
I found also that if I opened Facebook, I could view any of my own profile pics, and I was given the option to assign them to a contact – great (sort of) providing the only people I know are myself. Friends pictures were ‘locked’ such that the assign to contact option did not exist - silly, really.
Now, while fiddling with my phone, I discovered that the some of the Facebook contact syncing apps actually downloaded a full quality pic to my device – perfect – now let me see if I can open them and assign them to a contact... nope, no luck – interestingly, they were ‘locked’ just like they were when I opened them through Facebook – no option to assign them to a contact.
Now, I move them to another folder (one which had pics that I could assign) and all of a sudden, they were unlocked... funniest thing was that pics left in the original folder I took them from were also unlocked... odd... good too, but odd.
So happily assigning all these full definition contact pics, I then had a look at them, and the resolution was again abysmal... WTF...! Anyway, one last go, and instead of going via the picture to assign it to a contact, I went through the contact then assigned a picture to it... Success...! this time proper resolution...!
So from this I assume that going through the picture, or any syncing apps, you’re only getting a contact pic as good a quality as the Android system expects. However, if you go through the contact, the x10 is getting a contact pic at the full quality it knows it needs to display...
Anyway, take what you will from this, but I thought it was interesting...
same over here, the pictures I assigned to my contacts are very high quality and they all look like sh#t on the phone when some one calls me.
It is full of noise and extremely blurry. Really don't understand why...They can't be made this for such a low quality so I assume we do something wrong, but I can't figure it out. Do we need very big resolution pictures to get them proper on this phone? But thanks for the tip, working the other way around does work good, but it keeps being strange...
Cheers.

Consider that a phone call needs to pop-up right away. Why waste the processing speed to show a full resolution image?
Note: I think an update that went around to some regions cleaned up the resolution a bit.

Not the brazilian update.
I'm willing to swear that it's a donut issue... mainly because going the Android way in is ugly, and the SE way in is on the money...
You'll also notice the Android way gives you a square pic, and the SE way gives you an elongated pic to fit with their interface...

Agreed that it might be low res for this reason, but the x10 can handle the hi res just as good - and considering the contact pics are so large, you definitely want them full res.
Hopefully SE do some updates to improve this... Hopefully...

Problem is, I don't wan't the elongated pic or the square pic.
With WinMo I could put any pic format.
Why should I be restricted in Android?
I find my pictures inside are really bad using auto mode. I always seem to get off colours of objects in the back plus blurry parts like peoples faces. Any suggestions on what settings I should be using, I mainly take pictures of kids, family etc.
thanks
So, I have just upgraded myself from G3 to this Beast phone (love it)
Native Galaxy Gallery App there is a Story Mode/ selection that puts together all the pictures you have then in a given day or location and adds background music & some effects but, in doing so it cuts the pictures so you end up with half the face or picture to see.
Are there any settings the I need to change to make the pictures show in full or is there any fix for this.
I tried searching the forums but found nothing. In case I was wrong please direct me to the correct post
I'm finding that I have the same results and can't find any settings to change the way it seems to zoom in on each photo. Really nice idea but poor execution...

No one else seems to have this issue or care for this feature
or they are too busy rooting/ unlocking the SD version of the phone
Can't say about others, but in my case: 1. easy enough to do it manually just the way I want it 2. it almost never works properly, besides cutting off the frame. Case in point, my phone created album called "at the beach", after we went to the beach. Well, most of the pictures in this album are not from anywhere near the beach and since I have location embedded in every picture and phone already correctly identified I was at the beach including particular field, not sure why it added pictures taken at home and many other locations. Bottom line: useless function personally I don't care about.
I am wondering if anyone knows of a simple photo editing app.
There are plenty that are very powerful, but I don't want to do that on my phone. I'd rather do it on a desktop. I am looking for something that I have had a need for plenty of times, take a picture and then highlight the issue that the picture is showing. For example, taking a picture and then being able to insert an arrow or draw a circle around something in the picture to highlight it. Even adding some text might be nice. Then I could quickly add what I need and forward it off to whomever I need to send it to.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Search for cm gallery app under Android/apps it's small, practical and meets your requirements.
Perfect. Thanks!
Interesting to note that the newest version (the one labeled Lineage OS) loses that drawing feature, only the CM version has it.
Thanks.
I like an app called Sketch.

That looks good, although overkill for my needs. Looks very powerful though.
I just found Pixlr which seems like it is simple, but effective for what I need.
