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)

hi,
I do not know exactly the name of what I am looking for, but what I would like is the following:
When you type a phonenumber you get a list of numbers and contacts.
I would like a different list. Something that looks a bit flashier.
For example I would like to see the pictures that I have linked in my contacts in front of the contacts.
Then when you make the call I have a black background, with a reallly small picture next to the phonenumber. Is there a new screen available with a bigger picture, maybe another colour, or even better, the linked picture used as background for this screen?
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.
hi everyone, this question is more about developing, but I can't post there now because i'm new.
I'd like to write an app (using the new WP7 RootToolsSDK from heathcliff74) that changes the accent color, just like Dave Amenta's "accent changer".
But I'd like that my app also can change the accent color on the phone, after you have selected it; just like the one on the settings on the phone.
This because now if I want to change Blue, for example, I have to change the blue accent color, then Settings->theme, select another, then reselect blu.
When I change the value of the key "CurrentAccent", the native apps already opened (including the menù) doesn't changes the color (of course they don't know something changes). For example, if I open Messages (with every instance closed), the accent color is changed!
Anyone knows if there is something that I can do about?
for real no one knows something about?
same problem
wondering if you ever fixed that issue?
the start screen needs some kind of refresh function call that happens when you go through Settings/Themes and select the color in the list. I cannot find what function gets called, I also looked at the WP7RootToolsSDK.RegistryKey.RefreshKey() function, but it is not documented so not sure how to use it or if it will help.
anyway if you ever found a workaround, I would be grateful for your help!
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?
After switching to the Galaxy S10 phone, I noticed that the gallery photo editor application is robbed of its best features. it's so frustrating when these manufacturers just arbitrarily decide to screw up a good thing.
I constantly and I mean constantly use gallery photo editor and the eyedropper feature to select a custom color and then use the pen to edit out things in images I don't visible. I make them disappear by writing over them in the exact custom colors that already exist in the image. I choose that color with the eyedropper!
Now it seems you either have to overlay a text box over the top which flat out doesn't work because the new text box interface is so bulky and ridiculously lacking because it only has a very very few options. The NEW UNIMPROVED paint feature has ONLY 10 or so canned multicolor designs you can print with... WHO WANTS TO PAINT WITH MULTICOLOR DESIGNS? (KINDA DUMB, but okay)
1. Please don't tell me to go download it because I already look for it and it isn't there.
2. I already tried clicking the upper right corner and clicking advanced and then clicking the pencil to edit and then going through all the options inside that area and it's not there.
3. I've tried using the key combination to create a screenshot and several third-party apps to create screenshots in my efforts to find the eyedropper and it is not there.
4. Please don't tell me to go download Photoshop or some other app I don't want too; I just want my photo editor eye-dropper back!!
I use it constantly and I mean constantly 50 times a day! I take screenshots and edit out ads and things like text and hearts and stars to indicate the item is a favorite etc. using the eyedropper to select the custom background color and then the pen to write over the top of whatever it is you don't want visible makes it blend right into the background... THIS IS SO UNIMAGINABLY BASIC!
I be already spent weeks hunting for where the ability to add an image inside another image and finally was able to find it obscured in stickers area! I've searched and searched every possible conceivable section for any imaginable way they might have hid in the eye dropper and I just can't find it!!
I just want my eye dropper back! It's causing massive problems because I can't do what I need to do 100 times a day!!
Can someone within the limitations outlined above 1 through 4 please PLEASE tell me where the eyedropper went?!?
I'm in the SAAAAMMMME BOAT.
I manage several different social media accounts, and have used this feature FOR YEARS to edit out extraneous things. It was simple and easy.
Weirdly enough, it was there in November, so it kept my main sampled color as an option, WHICH IS THE ONLY WAY I can basically continue to do what I do. This has been a nightmare.
If you find anything out, PLEASE let me know.
I'll also do the same.
You mean this?
To do this?
Thanks ?
That option does not show up if you have selected the edit dialogue box to pop up after you screencap, as it used to.
But this is very helpful. THANK YOU!
It's on the color palette now
