[HOWTO] Enlarge call-avatar without loss of quality in MeeGo Harmattan
 

Many people know about tweak Q from N9QT (it enlarges call-avatar). However, the existing mechanism for handling avatar keeps them in very poor quality, and it is noticeable if you apply mod from N9QT...

One day, I have accidentally discovered folder that stores contacts avatars. And I have decided to remake modification. Below is the result of my labors.

DISCLAIMER:

1) This modification isn't for lazy people.
2) It works only with blanco (and sailfish) themes. I will do ti for all in the future.
3) You use it at your own risk.

Let's go:

1) Install attached deb and reboot (refresh) your phone.
2) Go to Settings - Avatar Settings and follow instructions.
3) Enjoy!!!

This course of action is important! Any deviation from the instructions will not lead to the desired result. Attention - file names are generated randomly and each time you change the avatar it binds to new png-file! For this reason, I was not able to automate the process.

If you don't like it - just uninstall deb and reboot (refresh) your phone.

Sailfish-theme (future feature):

cool APP, but I'm five hours trying to customize the photos for better pictures and is too complicated.

When the contact has no avatar, it is with a standard design. I tried to change the files in the "/opt/enlarged_avatar/round" and "/opt/enlarged_avatar/icons" and I can not.

I say this because with your program I am unable to make any modifications!
