TouchFlow Picture Dialer.

Is there a set resolution or size the picture has to be so it can be clear in the box? Thanks!

i have the same question cause my pictures are distorted

My pictures are currently set to 2MP, there is no distortion in the pic whatsoever. The only problem is that it takes a while for the pictures to load up, i'm not sure if its because they are located on the storage card or because of the large resolution of the picture. Whats the resolution of the pictures you use???

I'm pretty sure that we can assume phonebook pics are saved onto the phone itself, not storage card... because if you take your storage card out, the pictures should still work.... plus that's built into the whole outlook/contacts part of the phone.
Whenever I'm cropping pictures I usually make them somewhere in the range of 150x150 - 200x200 or somewhere along those lines. It just depends... I haven't really sat there and thought about it too hard.

actually i do have the same problem. the pictures are shown very small and blurry this is even though the original pictures are pretty large and sizable...
is there any problem to customize the incoming call window anyway

my resolutions are SUPER high like 1600x1200 and its still blurry

yeh same here my pictures are 2mb in size from an 8 megapix camera soo i dont why its still blurry i tried puttin it in the phone insteead of the storage card but its still blurry

make the photos .png, I use that hand have very nice pictures

yeh no luck with the .png either

anyone care to post am image of a distorted image...

what do youll use to get a screen shot sorry iam new at this???

I actually think your images may be too large, you are using 2mp images with a very high res and then squeezing them down to a very small part of a 240x320 screen, try resizing your pictures down to say 200x200 or somthing like 120x160, this will also make them much smaller and save mem, and load much faster ...
all my contact pictures, for the dialer are like 240x240 and they all look fine ...
Using a 2mp image on a 240x320 screen is just going to wast your memory anyway ....

it doesn't really eat the memory, only uses .1mb to access but the main problem is that it takes a while to load up the pics, and they only load one at a time. will try the resize
As for taking a pic of the screen
http://www.pocketpccity.com/software/pocketpc/graphics-screencapture-datesort-1.html

True it does not waste memory, unless you are not storing the pics on a storage card, then it just eats storage memory for the large pic, but storing pics that big in main mem, would just be silly anyay ...

yeh i tried resizing it still blurr....
"update"
ok finally got it after I installed pocketcm the pictures cleared up thanks guys for ur help

its not really a matter of picture size, what i found is that is actually a problem with the orientation of the picture.
when the phone is in normal view, HTC home screen crops the picture, very baddly. the picture gets a square ratio, but when HTC home screen is in the landscape orientation, the same blurry pictures now look perfect. what i've done is to change all my pictures to have a square ratio or atleast a vertical 4:3 ratio
my 2 cents

how does pocketcm work? helps a lot?

The Answer
The Answer to the original question is to use the 'Change Picture' from the Menu Button on TouchFlo 3D. For some reason, chaning the picture in either Pocket Outlook or Desktop Outlook distorts the picture and doesn't keep the resolution. I hope that this can solve the thread.
Edit - Sorry if I sound smug but this post was first on my google search but I didn't find the answer for another 2 hours!!! I reckoned this would stop others from having to hunt.

[HELP] Photos and Videos Thingy

Hi Guys
I got 2 problems related to the Album.
1. My photos appear extremly blurry on the main screen (the part where you flick through them). It's not a huge deal, but I wouldnt mind some focus.
2. When I make my way to a video album the videos are only displayed as windows media icons. No text and no thumbnail video preview. As a result I have to guess which one of the 50 videos is the one I want to show a friend.
Please help me.

Unbelievable
I just can't believe absolutely no-one has a solution, or some advice at the least.
If I can't get help here, I am doomed.
I thought this forum was over-run by brainiacs.
Guess not.

Hey!
To be honest....it's not a solution I can offer you...because I think everybody has the same issue with the blurry pictures and no preview video, but I think I can explain why....The main reason I guess it's blurry, is because it will take too much time for the device to pre-load the images on the sceen ie...especially if you have many high resolution pictures, it takes forever to load for every picture...the same with the music...that can also takes some time to load when you slide to the music tab.....
for the video the same reason I guess..
Please anybody...correct me if i'm wrong....
BTW...If you see the amount of views for this topic, you'll see that a lot of people see your problem, but don't have a solution for it....so please newby...don't complain allright??? we all try to help each other......

I had the same problem very blurry photos. But I solved it on mine.
Copy the original photos onto your diamond into the internal storage. I put mine in my pictures for while I did this.
Then on the diamond go onto your people tab and on each of your favourite people click on the menu bottom (bottom left).
Select change picture.
Then select the photo from the location you copied them too earlier..
That's it.
Do that for each of your favourite people.
It seems outlook contacts get saved with much lower resolution photo's but if you add the photo's on the phone it's a much higher res.
Carl
BTW I deleted the folder I'd copied into internal storage once i'd completed this and the photo's all stayed so there's no need to have the copied photo's permanently on the phone

That's a good answer nice man! I knew the problem was also on the Favorites Contacts tab, where the photo's were blurry as well, but I didn't know you could also fix it on the Photo/Video Tab...!
Nice tip!

me confused
Capt_Carl, I think you are confusing "blurry pictures in Photo & Video Tab" (my problem) with "blurry contact pictures in the Favorite People Tab" (solved this a while ago).
Am I just misunderstanding Capt_Carl.
What do you think Pietje_1985?

Yes....to be honest...i'm confused as well.. because of the fact that I knew there was a problem with the Favorite People tab and the pictures, but for the Photo/Video tab, I still think you can't solve that problem....... I thought Capt_Carl had the answer, but I think not after I read your post MaD-CoW
Ne ways...I hope maybe somebody else is familiar with the problems and somebody has got a solution to it.....
Cheers

Bump
Has anyone solved the blurry photos in the photo & video tab?

I have the same problem. 700 views and still no luck. I'll wait.

I'll join in the wait as well.

Update?
Maybe an update to the new official ROM 2.03 could help?

With the 2.03 ROM the problem started for me. On 1.93 it was fine.

Make the pictures 240x320

Photo thumbnail in Album - over-saturated.

When I take photos and open Album app to view, the thumbnail previews of the photos look very saturated and posterised.
Any tips?

Yeah, I mentioned it here.

BTW, they also look the same if you put your card in another phone, or as thumbnails on your PC ??!!

It's not a solution but, if you change the setting Quality to super fine (my ROM is French "Super fin") the thumbnails are over satured, if you put back standard setting (fine), there is no over satured thumbnails.
It's a bull**** but maybe it could make htc make a patch.

Yes, oversaturated on PC too.

Thumbnail Corruption?! Only 99 images in Sense gallery!!

Why is it some of my thumbnails look horrible like these and others are perfectly fine, and why can I only veiw 99 images in the Sense gallery view??
When I click to veiw full screen they display perfectly, just the thumbnails look horrible!
Cheers!

install the two hotfixes released by HTC. it will resolve the thumbnail issue and the storage issue.

What Hotfix's?
I've installed the Update for HTC HD2 – Digital Picture Enhancement to remove the pink, and I do not have a storage issue, the other Hotfix's are:
Update for HTC HD2 – SMS Function Update
Update for HTC HD2 SD Card Storage Capacity
ROM Upgrade for HTC HD2
Cheers!

The pics with horrible thumbnails are the ones taken pre-hotfix... if you look at them on a PC they dont look as good as they do on the HD2.
The storage hotfix updates the camera app to better compression and sorts a bug which lies about how many pics you have left to take. best to reboot before you install this.

the hotfixes wont fix the already taken photos. the thumbnails are corrupted as they are. but newly taken pics are ok.

I have this issue too. Not with the thumbnails, but the sense gallery only displays 99? And I've applied every update/patch.

Thanks for your input chaps but the pics look fine on my PC and on the HD2, it's just the thumbnails, and they were taken after the hotfix was installed!
None of the hotfix's address why you can only veiw 99 images in the Sense gallery either!

It's not abug. Just a software limitation to avoid manila slowing down the device too much.

Thats not right!!
It loads each image as needed not all at once, so makes no difference how many there are.

but it is how they have designed it, so like it or not its working "correctly"...

The images in manila photo tab should be and are cached for faster loading.
It is not done in realtime as you think.
Also,there will be some prerendering of images anticipating the next possible onces.
same method used in most softwares for anticipated rendering like in opera,gps softwares etc.

Although it does appear this way how do you know this, or is it an assumption?

Maybe one or two images ahead but not all images, if you scroll through them fast enough you'll overtake the loading/precached images.
So there is no need for a limit on how many you can view because it doesnt load them all into memory at once which is the only reason it would slow the phone down.

so no fix ?
no reg tweek ?

Error with Moto G5 plus raw dng files

I rooted my moto G5 plus by traditional method, ie unlocking bootloader, then installing twrp recovery and then flashing magisk files
I had no problems with rooting and stuff, and I am still on stock ROM, Oreo 8.1.0. I haven't installed any custom roms.
Then I enabled camera2API using buid.prop app
I installed manual camera, open camera and few other cameras to try to shoot RAW images.
They are able to take raw .dng files but I am unable to open them either in photoshop or in few other image viewer.
It says: "The Original file appears to be unsupported or damaged."
So, I need help taking raw images which I can open and edit.

Google camera raw opens up. But GC won't work on 32 bit rom.

There is a 32-bit google camera port.
When shooting with hdr+ it will also save a .dng file that can be opened normally. It's not perfectly polished but works well. https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78322212&postcount=116

Thank you. Google camera is so much better than stock camera app.
I did try HDR+ and RAW. It works pretty awesome.
I did notice that .dng file is only 0.3MP and resolution is much small, while I am shooting at full resolution... is this normal?
The size of dng file is 25MB and above (almost all the time)
It it normal with this Google camera?
Edit:
I copied the dng files in PC and tried to open them in Photoshop.
I am unable to edit them. I get error that file is not supported.
I do feel there is something wrong with the raw format.

That's odd, the gcam .dng files work perfectly fine for me in photoshop. The size is right, it should be about 25mb, and I think the resolution isn't reported accurately - when import them to photoshop they are 12MP as they should be.

I don't know whats wrong with the dng files.
I hope someone on forum can guide me to get this working properly.

Editing the exif file does the job.
Removed camera 1 and camera 2 calibrations and now I can open the raw dng files...
PS: Raw files will look completely washed out... It's your job to edit them using Photoshop or Lightroom, whichever you prefer.
