Hello all,
I just had to swap out my Captivate and am in process of setting things back up to my liking. I did something on my old phone and cannot figure out how I did it.
I had taken a plain black image and applied it to all my contacts to remove the default "alien" contact picture. Anyone know I can change the contact picture for a group or batch of contacts (instead of one by one).
Thanks!
You can change the "contacts_default_image_small.png" located in the drawable-hdpi-finger folder of the Contacts app to change the "alien" contact picture. That's what I did.

Simply take the contacts photo and change the resolution to 640x480 then move it to your Fuze and change the contact's photo and you're set. No more blurry photos. Check it out: http://www.fuzemobility.com/?p=920
You don't even need to resize the photos, just use the original resolution and change the contact pic from within TF3D.
If you set it using the contacts app, then they appear blurry in TF3D, but if you set it from within the menu in TF3D, then they won't be blurry.
you're right...it's a huge difference.
Awesome! Thanks
I believe if you use Album or S2V to set a picture to a contact, it also gives a clear contact pic.
How do you get the photos to show up? I had photos showing but now the contact screen just shows "add favorite". Is there some setting to change?
someone should come up with a simpler way to do this.. like automatically from a computer with ur old photos.
Hi everybody
Probably that's a silly question asked already lots of time, but I wasn't able to find them.
Is it possible to change the standard profile picture? I'm not sure but it looks like this is globally the same.. And because I have everywhere a dark theme (for whatsapp, etc.), i'd like to change this.
Thanks in advance.
maybe you must change your gmail photo profile firs.. :silly:
I mean there are few contacts I won't have a profile picture, because some of those simply aren't persons but companies. So there is a standard profile picture (from android?) with this round head ...
And of course I could always change the profile picture of those seperatly. But when I add a new contact, there's this standard profile picture again.
Is there a way doing this directly?
Hi. Any idea if it's possible to change what colour android decides a contact should be when they don't have a picture associated?
It seems completely random but I'd rather have people who I SMS a lot NOT be bright pink but can't find any way to change it in contacts or Google Messenger
Any ideas? Thanks
Well I deleted the contact(s) and re-added them and they got a new random colour...
Not the best solution for changing stuff...ho hum
Have you tried simply adding and removing contact pictures ?
The colors seems to be set per contact but changed to match the dominant color of a picture (if set)

I tried this but it didn't seem to work, the colors remained the same. Instead I uninstalled the app, changed all the relevant contact pics that I wanted changed in messenger to just solid color images of the new color I wanted, re-installed and opened the app, and all the changes I wanted were done. After that I changed the contact pics back to normal and this fix appears to have worked. I'm pretty sure it's most important that you have to open up the app at least once upon re-installing before changing your contacts' pics back, that way the app gets stuck in the colors you want. Anyway sorry if I'm repeating anyone else, just thought I'd offer my two cents. And of course besides this shortcoming it's still a really good app.
Latest version of messenger added color change for each conversation.
Still remains the contact as of in itself.
The varying colors of the contacts is not random on my phone (Galaxy S5).
Each time I add a contact it selects the next color in the sequence...
Blue, Green, Orange, Orange
Blue, Green, Orange, Orange...
It just looks untidy in the Contacts list, and I see no way of changing it - apart from adding a contact a few times until it's the color you want, and deleting the unwanted ones. You could also create some simple color pictures to assign to each profile picture (if you don't have their photo)
Is there a way to change the generic picture in your Samsung contact profile against one of yourself?
Thanks,

Open the profile
Click Edit
Click the "-" in the upper right of the stock pic
The camera will open and you can take a selfie, or you can click the pic icon and select one from your gallery
If its stuck like mine was, you have to go into settings. Then at the very top right there should be an icon that looks like your current profile picture, or a silhouette style icon. Click that, then click the icon in the middle that is 'obviously' a spot for a profile picture, and select to either take a photo or choose a picture. You won't be able to use the 'neat' images they have in the contacts app when you try to change it via that route. But hey, at least it changes it all. I can't change my picture from the contacts app for some reason... it just never saves. you click 'save' and nothing happens, and even if you press back and hit 'save' it still doesn't do anything. Sometimes it even degrades the quality of the picture to make it all blocky, but still doesn't actually save anything...
I have a question- I have a mashup of contact pictures and letters on my s9 plus. I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to change all of my contacts pictures according to the theme that I've downloaded. Can that be done? Default contact pics that are theme specific?
When I open the Contacts app on my Galaxy S8+, next to my name is a generic picture of an elk (I think). When I select the contact, I see the same picture at the top of the screen, as well as all of the contact information. When I select EDIT, instead of the picture of the elk, the picture displayed is the picture associated with my Google Gmail account.
Is there any way to change that picture of the elk to a more personal picture?
Thank you.
U edit profile for that contact?
