Mine is my Google+ picture.

Contacts app --> Select the contact under "Me" (first one with your name on it) --> Press the edit pencil at the top right corner --> Tap the icon next to (left of) where you edit your name --> Choose photo

Why are my backgrounds like 60% white faded?

I cant figure this out no where.... Why cant i have my photo 100% color without the white over it? It works fine with the default wallpaper but when i change it, it has the white over it
open the picture using file explorer and open it... then go to menu and select "add as today background" or w/e it says... then it will allow you to choose your opacity/transparency. =P
It doesnt give me that option? I have Touchflo turned off if that does anything?
Also is there away to get rid of the picture when i hit Start?
When ever i hit start the picture is behind the list...
Anyone? this is really annoying and i cant figure out whats going wrong

ROMeOS uses File Explorer extended, which I noticed doesn't give that option of opacity when you choose to use an image as wallpaper.
So is there away around this? Regedit possibly?
Anyone?
.
I'd also like an answer to this, I'm using the latest RomeOS.
There may be other solutions too but here is one of them:
Open your picture from "Programs>Pictures & Videos" - while the picture is opened at "Programs>Pictures & Videos" click "Menu" and select "Set as Today Background". Here you have the option to set Transparency Level (Set it to 0 if to see it clear) and click "Ok". You should get unshaded clear picture.
Surprisingly, I could not get the "Transparency Level" setting when I try to set background while browsing the picture from file explorer.
Hope this helps....
Thanks pksher, confirmed working with latest build of RomeOS. (Start > Programs > Multimedia > Pictures & Videos is the path, at least for RomeOS, though)
The OP had forgotten the face of his father. ;-)
Anyway - the useful thing I'll add is that this method works even without using TouchFlo3D. I gave up on it a while ago - and am using my own background image. I also found out that if you use an image 1024x768 or larger - the image will fit nicely in landscape as well. If you use a 640x480 image, when you go to landscape mode - the left part of the image will be added to the right to make up the difference.

[Manila 2D] People Tab

Hi
I've tried the search but I could'nt find anything because the words were too common. I'd like to change the behaviour of the people tab in manila 2D, so that when I click a picture it calls the person instead of opening up the contact file... I don't really understand why it does this anyway, because when you add a contact in the tab in the first way it asks you to choose either mail/sms or phone number, and even adds a little icon on the bottom...
Thanks everyone

I'm sure you've figured this out, but if you press on the bottom part of the contact picture (with the phone symbol or icon) it will call them.
I like the feature that when you tap the upper portion it open up contact info. If you want to text or email one of your fav contacts it's the easiest and quickest way to do so.
I could be wrong, but I believe this is a feature of M2D that is built in and can't be changed. Kinda like asking for a calendar tab, or stock tab.

Just for future reference, it is against forum rules to double post. I know you found the Manila thread, after you already started this thread, but you should have search before starting a new thread.
I would've actually switched between the option if it was up to me
clicking the picture should call the person and the bottom part should bring up the contact's page.

Yeah, I agree that would be better. Sometimes my big thumb hits the picture when I'm in a rush.
P.s. I have to apologize for a double post as well, I answered his question in both threads.
lol, it's alright.
anyways, if it's changeable, herg will know what to do.. i'll see about that.
my problem is the opposite of this.
when i clik the picture in the people tab nothing happens. but when i click the name it calls the contact. how do i make it work to bing up the contact info when i clik the picture.
thanks
strangely buggy... I've never heard of that before. It might be the skin. try changing it use M2D customizer and see what happens.

[Q] Issues with contacts not showing pics

First off am running StarDroid 3.2.1 I don't think it's rom related but user related
I have added pictures of 2 people. They do show up in the phone when I edit the contact. They also show up online when I hover over the contacts name. However they won't show up in the people app or the phone dialer when I scroll to them.I get those grey silhouettes. I do however have one picture visible in there as that contact is linked to a google+ account and that person has picture in there profile.
I do have to say searched the forum for this and came up with this path /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/files it does have the thumbnails for the pictures of the google+ people but not of the non google+ people. The pics that are in my gallery are the ones not showing up.
Am I do something wrong? I thought by editing the contact and adding a picture it would show up in the people app and in the dialer. I haven't tested any other functionality of have a picture added to a contact
Also want to add that the pics that I used from the gallery do show up in the people widget when added to a home screem.
Well after google searching and looking on other forums I finally found my answer
"Go to the Linked icon (upper right corner), then press the menu button. It will give you the option to select contact photo. Click it and it will show the photo options."
I then selected the photo cropped it to what I wanted and I was good to go.

Facebook top bar problem

Hi!
I have a strange problem with top bar at facebook app. I didn't find that anybody had encountered such thing.
Everything is shown at following picture
[IMGh.t.t.p://s24.postimg.org/4rbr0jg51/2015_09_22_01_50_45.jpg[/IMG]
By default message icon should be in one line with the others. I suppose you know what I mean. It happened unexpectactly. It was looking normal after installing.
Why it happens and how to fix it?
PS. I cannot add a pic from external hosting so you need to remove some dots at 'http' in photo link

Kuba

Change profile picture in Samsung contact app

Is there a way to change the generic picture in your Samsung contact profile against one of yourself?
Thanks,
MG
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?
