Does anyone know how to create Camera Templates like the Magazine or Totem for the XDA IIs camera?
I read the postings at http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=12185 and I tried to create my own.
I am having a problem where after creating it and opening the template in my camera, it looks fine.... but when I press the button and the picture is taken, the surrounding frame (that was suppose to frame the person's face) became semi-transparent.
Anyone know how to fix this?
Any suggestions, anyone?

save the contact pictures on you phone then edit each contacts and change the picture to wherwe you save the new pictures on your phone . and it will be ok.
outlook makes the pictures look low res, & when you reconnect phone to pc it will not get rid of the new pictures.
but the correct res is 256x256 @ 72 DPI
I got this device a week ago and loving it but has anyone else encountered this problem? I just noticed it and its rather annoying. The pic i was trying to use was taken with the camera and pic was not blurry when viewed in albums. I've also taking pic in lowest resolution but still came out blurry on caller id. Help anyone?
yes, I have this problem too, would love to see a solution ... ?
did you sync with activesync? I have a feeling activesync reencodes the jpeg.
So this is what happens - and this happens every time I put a new ROM or change phones
1. I always synch with Activesync, so the pictures are kept in my Outlook.
2. When I sync the pictures are blurry. If I put a new picture in Outlook, it still comes blurry on my phone.
3. If I put a new picture on my phone and then sync, then - all is fine - pictures are sharp and crisp and they stay like that until I put a new ROM and have to sync from scratch
There is something fishy in the way outlook stores these pictures may be.
does anyone have a fix for this???
That happened to me with the stock rom but when I switched to one with Manila 2.5, they're more clearer because it doesn't use the flipping notebook layout of the older style.
I would rather not flash a new rom to this phone... Is there a cab file out there that can fix this?
I had this problem on my Diamond
What you need to do is go to the people screen in touchflo and add the contact pictures from there, and it saves them as high res and will then sync them as normal
If you add your contact pictures from the outlook contacts program or from Outlook on your PC, then they are saved at a lower res
So I save the pictures to the memory card and then in the People tab, add the picture from there?
Blurry Fav Pics
Well as long as you add the pic to the contact from the People area of the touchFlo, you will be able to pic a section of the pic, (crop it), which then keeps it high res... I had the same problem too... I dont know if you have t-mobile, but it is kind of the same concept as the myfaves icons...
Yes, I think I read somewhere that if you save your contact pictures to msd card, it'll be higher res.
Here it is:
# Hi Res Contact Photos
Assign contact photos on your SD card directly to specific contacts for hi-res thumbnails. If you assign contact photos in Outlook and then sync, the contact photos on your phone will be low-res.
While we're talling about high-res pictures, here's another tip:
# Improve Photo Thumbnail Resolution in Photo Tab
Modify or tweak a photo (such as adjusting brightness) using a image editor directly on your HD (eg: Resco Photo Viewer) and save and overwrite the original. This makes the photo thumbnails on your Photo Touchflo 3D tab hi-res instead of low-res.
I have a t-mobile branded version of the tp2 and thanks for your responses. One more thing to add, when scrolling thru contacts in touch flo is it normal for pics to be blurry and take a few seconds to sharpen out?

It does not matter where the images are actually saved initially, it's just important to add them from TouchFlo and not from outlook/contacts
I don't sync with ActiveSync, but use Funambol instead - created a free account and used clients for Outlook and PPC.
Now I can sync from every location to internet and back - works great! (Also you can sync with many PCs while Activesync cannot even handle two PCs)
I am a newbie to this forum, how can I add the contact pics via touchflo. The pics are all blurry in my contact. They look sharp in album view

Yeah, I've been doing that and the pictures are a little bit blurry also and I thought that's what people are talking about. It must be because the People tab zooms on the picture a little.

I don't have that many contacts pictures... BUT when I scroll through pictures in Album, I have a similar effect. The next picture appear slightly blurry at first and then sharpens out in about 1 sec.
Think it's a Windows thing... experienced the same thing in Vista sometimes as well if I scroll BACK and the file size is big (scrolling forward give a sharp picture immediately).

Use the slider from the home screen to go to the People tab. This is really the "favourites", and will be blank unless you have already input some of your contacts.
Either add the contact, or go to the one you want to change, then press menu at the bottom, and a list comes up and "change picture is the bottom one.
Select your picture, move the highlighted box or zoom in/out to get the crop you want, then then save.
NOTE: if you go into the contacts, or into "all people" and change the picture, then it will be blurry. This must be done from the People tab from the home screen
touch HD solution for Pro 2
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blackstone_tboy2000
this link from the blackstone wiki will show you some tips that are actually usefull for both phones since they have such a similar platform.
I've had both the HD and now the Pro 2.
(lost my HD yesterday)
Look at Hint 8.
a.
Having played around with various apps to lock or hide pictures in the phone's gallery and found them somehow lacking I've discovered that if you edit a photos properties on the PC and make it 'hidden' when you sync it then it will not show up in the phones picture gallery.
However I have no experience in developing apps so maybe this info would be of use to someone who knows how to exploit it.
Hi all
I have a quick question with regards to Geo Tagging.
When I take a photo on my phone, I have it set to Geotag its position. The tag is definitely saved within the file as when I export it and look at the properties the location information gives the coordinates. What is strange is that the inbuilt gallery app does not seem to want to plot the photos. It is very selective on which ones it plots.
I have imported photos from my iPhone and saved them on to my memory card. It has plotted some of the photos, but not all. Likewise, earlier, after taking a few pictures I looked at the location view in the gallery and found that it had not placed any of the photos on a map.
I have cleared the cache on the photo app but this does not seem to solve the problem.
Does anyone have any ideas?
