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.
I've loaded some photos onto specific contacts so they show up in the TouchFlo People tab as speed dial links. The photos look crap when they're shown in the flickable list. I've tried all resolutions (from large to small). One photo looks fine (no idea why) but others look like really heavily compressed jpegs.
Photo slides in the Photos tab look just as bad. The original ones loaded onto the machine looked fine but whatever resolution I try for my own images they look heavily compressed and pixellated. They're all jpegs, just like the originals.
Can anybody help please?
Just recently got the HD Touch myself coming off of the Pro Dual and yea, had the same "issue". Basically had to re-do my photos for contacts; ended up doing 500x500 saved as pngs...
Hope that helps!
Thanks for that. I'll try making some pngs and see if it helps.
Well png images for the People tab has certainly improved things. Thank you for that tip. They also look great in the Photos tab. I guess TouchFlo doesn't know how to optimise png images.
But what about the 'Photos' tab? My albums are full of jpegs and I don't want to have to reproduce them as pngs just for the bloody TouchFlo screen. Why do the original photos look so much better?
There are people in this forum complaining about the sharpness of the TouchFlo background image, but am I the only one whinging about these album pics? Grrr...
Try using photo album, then choose the photo and assign to contact.
i used the people tab and from there added the people and then choose menu --> change picture. looks a lot better and no resizing pictures needed.

I've tried all ways and the png method is the only thing that made a difference.
I had the same prob....You need to add the photo from the people tab using the menu button, they look fine if you do it this way.
I found the way that gave the best quality by far was to add them via the Favourite People tab as a 256 x 256 JPG. A bit of a pain in the arse to do but at least you only have to do it once.

calvin55 is right - I had the same problem and then moved good pictures into "My Pictures" folder and then from the photo album used the "assign to contact" option.
Big improvement !
OK, I've taken a photo of the screen to show you what I mean about the poor quality images in the Photo tab. Hopefully it's clear what's wrong with the preview image...
I confirm that the album method works fine and fix this problem.
Create thumbnails of your choice and move them all to My Pictures folder.
Then open Album, choose an image, and 'Save To Contact'. works great.
Can I remind all people to read the tips & tricks part of the wiki
It already has the solution to your problem amongst other tips/tweaks you may all like
Hi Res Contact Photos
Assign contact photos on your SD card directly to specific contacts for hi-res thumbnails. If you assign contact photos in Outlook and then sync, the contact photos on your phone will be low-res.
All contact photos should be saved to My Pictures folder on your Storage card
Normally, People will go to
>>menu>>change picture>>name.jpeg
But that will give u low resolution.
Try using this method, it eliminates the trouble to resize or change format.
>>file explorer>>[open pic file]>>menu>>save to contact>>select a contact
and this will solve your problem

Is there any way to resize a picture before emailing it? I just tried to send myself a picture and it took forever to send because it was 2mbs, i used to have an iphone so it would automatically shrink the pictures before emailing them, this one allows full size pictures which is a good thing but id like the option to send a not full size picture if possible
Please read the sticky:
Image Shrink Lite #FTW
The tips&tricks thread recommends Image Shrink Lite. I've only used it once but it worked well - it generated the reduced image and then opened a new Gmail with it attached (you can choose which app you want to send with when you shrink the picture).
^ right on. Also, if you open the app you can choose the default shrink size and it skips that step of the process too.
wow thats awesome, thanks guys
Anyone ever gone to google images, then gone to advanced and selected LARGE PHOTOS??
When doing this on a pc/laptop all photos appear large.
However when doing the same thing on my Samsung Note the pictures still appear small and when looking at images of 4 and 10kb they look ****.
Why am I unable to view LARGE image files when doing a google search?
I manually change the image settings to large yet they still appear small.
I've tried this on THREE browers and there is no difference.
Surely others have had the same problem? If not give this a go now and see the results...

No, let me explain in another way.
On ANY computer I've used, for example, I go to google images, advanced, select image size to large and then click 'search images' .
All images will now appear large since I changed the option.
Now, the issue I have with the Note is that when doing the same as above, the pictures still remain small in size and not large.
This means that when changing the image search to display only large images it still displays small pictures...
On the google search and on the left pane there are three options,Any size,medium and large.
of course first you must choose the classic google and than images.
Try using desktop user agent, dolphin and maxthon both support it. (others to)

I tried both browsers, same problem.
Even when trying images over 2mp it still displays pictures of 1024x768 & smaller.
I tried both Android & Desktop viewer on Dolphin. On the desktop viwer it displays larger images only you cannot open them.
When selecting Android viewer in the setup it does not display larger images even when choosing this option in the advanced images.
I tried Maxthon and the problem persists...
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 see.
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.
