You should change it using a browser instead of app.. in app you are allowed to do this : maximum size of your custom image is 80 by 80 pixels or 19.5 KB (whichever is smaller).
Try this link

The xda app can't do it.
But I see that Tapatalk can successfully set higher res pics as avatars.! (may be it compresses it?)
LIFE! Live it to the best!

Try doing it through a computer or use your internet app and log in through that. I believe the app version only supports small pictures. Hope this helps!

{Q} Photo converter for stock screenshot app?

Can someone give some good recommendations for a photo conversion program. I just need something to convert these .png's to .jpg's so I can post to the forum. Any advice would be great! Thanks in advance.

I haven't really found one for the phone...I just use Photoshop on my computer to change them to jpg if I need to.
Use the built in editing app. You do have to make a change to the original image before saving. Found this out when I wanted to upload screenshots via the Xda App

You know I fooled with it but I didn't think of changing the name to .jpg after editing. Good find. Photoshop recognizes it as a jpg also..good work my friend!

So what do you do, just add the .jpg to the end of the name, save and it converts it?

Camera Shutter with Volume Button?

I've tried retro camera and fx camera but I wanted to use the stock camera app and use my volume button to trigger the flash. Isn't there an apk that does that passively?
PS the volume button zooms so would need some type of remapper app
Theres a app in the og gs2 section that does that.

Not liking vignette, since I can't use it from IM.
Launch "camera" to send a photo as an attachment and it launches vignette, but chokes after it successfully takes the pic. I forget the message, but basically that the data returned to handcent was invalid.. Possibly the effect of vignettes "preview", idk.
So since its a .rar does it need to be extracted? Has anyone had success yet?

Where to get YouTube HD apk

Hi, does anyone know how and where to get HD YouTube apk that works with our phone?
Sent from my Kindle Fire using xda premium
try changing the phone's resolution. i've noticed that when i set mine to x720, even opera browser's interface changed. the menu is no longer a bar at the bottom but like on the upper left, if im not mistaken. and yeah, i remember youtube being crisper. look for lcd resolution at the market to set screen res.
I'm no genius on the matter, but I think you would need a phone that supports the HD resolution which currently are only a select few with ours out of the picture.
There is enough hate in the world. Why can't we all get along here ...?
The thing is I have the Galaxy Nexus
And it has a YouTube app. That shows the videos in HD. I know our phone doesn't have HD screen but that doesn't matter it can downscale and it will still look crisp.

Hmmmm. It might just not work bro
The new YouTube comes part of gapps with ICS so you would need to have ICS framework most likely to make it work. The new gmail app is also like that as well.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
i guess you guys missed my point. the gnexus version might have a compatibility update just to make it work with ics. but to make youtube's hd look better our phone, we must have an hd screen or at least make the youtube app think that we do.
change your phones resolution from x480 to x720 (using lcd resolution app from the market) and youll see apps like youtube and opera browser detect your phone's res and adapt to it.
HD vids on a fake 720 res is much better than on our native x480's youtube hd vids. opera browser's interface changes just by changing the phone's res. try it and youll see what im talking about.
what it boils down to is, we need someone to make the youtube app think our screen is at least x720. that might work.

Tweaks in ##data# menu?

Hey all! I just wanted to make a thread if anyone found any other tweaks in the ##data# (##3282% in dialer) menu and if so what tweaks did you make to help make whatever better? Cause right now the only tweak I made was to increase my 3G speed by going into the menu "Others" then going into the menu "Multimedia" and changing the HTTPD Proxy Address to 0.0.0.0 and the port to 0. So if anyone else made any tweaks to help out their internet or voice in the menus then please let me know since I'm very interested in this menu.
How did that increase your 3G speed. What is bit now compared to before?

Mine went up about 1.8x for download and about 1.2x for upload. I used this trick when I had an EVO 3D and it works basically on any phone. Here is the link to the thread about it on the EVO 4G forums. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=922978

{ROOT REQUIRED} Another way I like to increase my data speeds even further along with the dialer option is to download this app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=provision.netspeed.optimizer&hl=en
Select the drop down menu and select "Max Speed (Low Battery)" then tap "Apply tweak". then reboot after prompted.
Once booted up go back into the app and you'll notice the changes next to "Current Set". It should also show NORMAL next to the set numbers meaning the tweaks will focus both on download and upload speeds equally but most of us favor download speeds so to change this so that our data network can focus more on download speeds you'll need to edit a single line in your build prop.
Go into your root browser, mount it as r/w then navigate to your /system directory and open up the build.prop file using a text editor.
Locate this line
ro.ril.hsxpa=
The value should be set at 2.
All you need to do is change that 2 to 1
Save the changes and reboot!
If for whatever reason you prefer better upload speeds then change the value to 3.
Keep in mind it may not have drastic changes but you should notice a slight increase in speeds at the least.
please let me know if this gives you even better results.

Download "Get My MSL" from the Play Store.
Go into app and select to get your MSL.
Once the error comes up exit the app and go into your dialer.
Enter ##DATA# and it will ask for your MSL.
Just enter any single digit 6x. Ignore the message of entering an invalid code.
Exit the dialer and go back to the app and it should now give you your code!

You need to be on a stock rom to do this. Or just plain stock dialer. Forget which one there may be one way to get into this interface though while using a different ROM though. Download https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sika524.android.quickshortcut (QuickShortcutMaker) from the Play Store and make sure you are on activities. It will list all activities each application on your phone can do and basically start each specific activity to see what it does and make a shortcut of it on your home screen. So that menu may be in there under the Phone part of the activities list but I haven't found it yet.

Google Home Launcher. Tried my best to provide info and files. Good luck!!

Google Home Launcher. Files and instructions. Should work on most Jelly Bean phones.
Download the files.
1st - PrebuiltGmsCore.apk (Google Play Services) first.
2nd - Velvet.apk (Google Now)
3rd - GoogleHome.apk
Place the lib file in System/lib folder and fix permissions (owner , group and others should be checked under READ)
(ONLY owner should be checked under WRITE)
Reboot.
Thats all I did. If OK Google doesn't work do this.....
Settings - voice - offline speech recognition- install language of choice. I use English. - switch to english UK and perform a search and then swich back to normal language. That shoult make everything functional. If not.....I tried. Works for me!

Thanks for the icons. However, the backgrounds aren't transparent. Could you perhaps provide us with versions with a transparent background? Thanks again.
are the apk being installed just like regular apk's or are they being pushed to a specific folder?
Nvm got it to work, looks like it has potential, it would be good if we could set our own settings for the drawer and if we could hide certain apps

So when I tried to install PrebuiltGmsCore.apk, it said "application not installed", but I went thru and installed everything else, rebooted and it seems to be working ok. Should I be worried?
This hack is awesome. Makes the ROM 2 x faster.
One other question,
I've noticed on my home screen tile it doesn't have number indicators next to the stock e-mail and SMS icons to show how many items are unread. Is this by design? Any way to fix this?
i believe that is how its designed.. hopefully they will add that feature at a later date
