Well... before i had my nexus one and in it i had pics for all my contacts so when i would text everyone would have their little face in the chat. And when i would text i simply put a pic in the VOice mail contact and that was the pic for my responses.
For some reason this doesnt work on the G2. It's just a grey square and what i described doesnt work... anyone know how to change the default gray pic in the messaging app ??
I was able to do it by saving my number as a contact and then adding a pic of my choice to it.

The one with the pic is my number saved as a contact. And the one without is me aswell
Any ideas ??
I would like to edit my empty place holder image that shows up in Contacts and MMS when there is no picture.
I would also like to find the one for the picture of the person that shows up during a call.
I am running inverted People/MMS/Gmail apps that this just ruins the look.
Can someone point me at the images so I can pull it and photo-shop it darker and replace it?
Thanks
Try these locations...
/system/framework/framework.jar
/system/framework/framework-res.jar
Might want to try exploring the people Apk as well
Hope this helps

Thanks I will.
Is there anyway to change the stock image for contacts from the grey packman style head to some other image?
I'm assuming you mean all at once and not one at a time? Im sure you know you can change them one at a time.. I don't know of an app that will change them all at once sorry.
yeah I was thinking if you could just replace the file somewhere with the one you want.

Good idea, i just wish someone would program up a app to inject high resolution contacts instead of pulling the low res crap from Google.
I am using cyanogen mode 7.2...
I would like to know how I can put picture for my own contact ...so that I can see it in messages in the thread ....
Now I can see the picture of the person whoom am sending message..but my picture appears as blank...
Can anybody help me????

When You Add A Contact You Can Add a picture To Him There is the photo icon choose to place your contact on google its much butter
Create a contact for yourself. And also make sure that in call settings>additional settings that you have your phone number in there aswell
I recently tried Swiftkey 3 in order to see if the keyboard allowed the user to see the actual Emoticon when you want to send one in a text. Just as in the stock keyboard, all you actually see is the characters that are used, not the actual smiley. I would like to use some but dont have all the smileys memorized as to what the emoticon actually is and the only way to know is to send the text and see it when its too late. I sent my buddy a kiss yesterday lol. Is there an app or any way to actually see which smiley I choose. I will say the Swiftkey 3 keyboard is just excellent at its predictive typing. I barely spell anything correctly and punch in whatever is close and it turns out perfectly. The stock keyboard changed it to sentences I couldnt even make sense of. Thanks pete
I haven't used anything that allows you to see them. You just learn as you go. You can always text your own number the emoticons though.

I don't think you'll get this from a keyboard, you might have to find a different SMS program that interprets the smiley keys as an actual smiley while you type. I's using GO SMS Pro, by default it doesn't have this function, but there might be an option to activate it. It's free, so you can install it and look for the option.
How does go sms differ from the stock messenger

Go, along with other third party apps, allows you to customize the look of your inbox via themes, assigning individual contacts a specific text tone, and other features are available as well. I know with Go, you can install the emoji plug in that iPhone uses, but only those with the plug in can see that kind of stuff.
On a side note, now that I think about it, Go has a button within the texting that allows you to see what the emoticons look like before choosing.
Edit: I just checked and the feature you are looking for is indeed available in GO SMS Pro. With the soft keyboard down, there is a smiley face button and it allows you to see what the emoticons look like before choosing. Hope that helps.

K trying it out but I have one issue with go. When you send a pic to someone who doesn't have go its a link to the picture instead of actual picture. Is there a workaround for that

How are you sending the photo because I haven't had an issue like that.
Sent from my LT28at
There are two ways to send a photo. If you click the soft button that says go and select image, that's when it sends a link to someone without go. If you were to select MMS at the far right instead of go, it sends an actual image via MMS.
Have you been using the go tab to send pictures?

Is anyone able to have a dark theme in the stock messenger? Black/grey background instead of white?
I used the mms photo but sent it to an iphone user. Sending to other androids is fine. Thanks for the suggestions. I am liking it so far much better than stock with a black and gray theme downloaded for free.

You can tell that iPhone person to just get an android phone and solve the problem
Well I'm stumped honestly. You could try emailing the devs

Not a big issue just wondering if non smartphone people will get a link or picture?
