I have the latest AOKP Nightly and it has some modifications to the MMS but not what i'm asking for here.
I have various group chats going on but the contact photo/avatar is the white faceless avatar. Is there a way to change this to something else or assign a Contact Photo to a particular group of participants? I just don't find that stock photo to appealing.
thanks in advance.
any ideas or suggesstions?

Is anyone else having an issue with contact pictures becoming distorted? If i add a picture to the contact, the first couple of them are alright, but as i start adding some more they all become distorted. I just got my phone over the weekend and this is the only issue i'm having.
sorry should have searched for before i asked. it seems like it's a g-sync problem from other threads. has anyone found a solution for this? i don't really see anyone saying they found a fix, just talking about the problem
Just create a new contact using the same name as your existing contact. Under contact type, select Phone. Assign the picture to that contact and save it. Now open the contact and hit the Link button on he top right of the screen. You should now have nice crisp contact pictures.
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.

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.

This 100% works.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
That is how I did it as well. Works great.
iphone uses MMS to send single group threaded messages to each other, i have been added to a chat group like this, except for when i receive the messages from the group they arrive on my phone from each separate individual. so i cant really respond to the group.
I have tried handcent and go sms pro, but neither of them seem to work
i could use groupme, but that is an inconvenience to the other users of the group
there must be something in development or a loop hole that anyone knows about, if testing etc is necessary i could def help with that
With the default Android messaging app when you start a new message you can type in multiple contacts separated by commas
From something awesome

thanks for the reply but thats not actually what i am trying to do, that would send a bunch of people the same, but separate messages. I am looking to send the same message to a bunch of people in the same thread, like groupme does, but not with an app and using MMS just like the iphone4 does
anyone got an idea?
hey you, could someone do me a favor?
could someone post a screenshot of the contact display view?
ie the selection in the phone book, AND within a contact
i like the vanilla androids like 4.2 on the nexus 4 , because of its big profile pictures and fb updates
bye and thanks in advance
I'm sure you guys know about the group text. I recently moved to the galaxy s7 from an iphone 6. I noticed that group texting doesnt really work. I can send group text messages to my friends with iphone but i will only be able to see one person's reply, and i dont get anything from anyone else. MMS is enabled and group chat is enabled. Does anyone know a work around, tip, or trick to get group texting?

I fixed it got all of my iphone friends to delete my text messages on their phones and i deleted them on my phone, then re-established a group message and it all worked. Btw you have to go to the apple website and de-register imessage for the apple account that you previously had.
