Pick an image you want to use and save it as "my-avatar.png" then take note of where it is.

Use WebOS Quickinstall and go to Tools--Send File--choose the .png image-- in "Destination Folder" type

/usr/palm/applications/com.palm.app.messaging/images/

Click "Send to Device!"

Followed this to a T and it worked, my pic is now my avatar (on the right) but even after luna restart and a full restart my messaging app runs in slow motion....freezes, then your typing shows up for a second then freezes again and so on. Any ideas why this would be happening and if not what's the easiest way to restore? Thanks for the help!

i figured it out!! if u have any path that has to do with avatar, remove it.. open WebOS quick install. click tools, then tweaks.. theres a checklist, tick the box where it says landscape messaging and avatar or something like that. remember to have the picture ready in .png format, set it to 40x40 for best quality.. hope this helped a lot of u guys.

I followed the directions perfectly, but to no avail... it just doesn't work. Is this patch compatible with 1.3.1? Thanks!

Ok, first of all, this is a pretty old thread and the patches available in Preware are much easier to use than what this thread describes for you. You say you uninstalled an avatar patch? Which one specifically? And then after you uninstalled it, what exactly did you do to your Pre?

Second, was your pic a png file to begin with or did you just rename an image file to my-avatar.png? Forgive me if this is an insulting question, but sometimes it's hard to judge someone's technical knowledge from one short post. Give me some specifics and I'll see if I can't point you in the right direction.

Just install the new one and it will replace the old one.

for the message balloons, when you say upload them to "wherever".. that's kind of vague, I'm not sure what you mean
