Hey everyone, since theres a few threads every now and again about a custom gamerpicture, and I [seem] to have found a way to get it to work.. I decided I'd make a guide on it before some leech beats me to the punch.
So first, let's cover what you'll need-
-Xbox LIVE Vision Camera
-Horizon
-USB/Memory Device
-64x64 and 32x32 .png of your desired new picture
And before you go *****ing [to/at] me for lying and that this doesn't work and blah blah, note this is the equivalent of a personal picture - only your friends can see it. It's literally only one step up from the old way - where only you could see it. I have a few theories I'm going to try later but I cbf for now.
Now that that's out of the way, let's start.
At the xbox:
1) Take a personal picture and let it sync.
2) move your profile to your USB/Memory device that you can freely disconnect the memory device..
3) use your xbox live vision cam to take a personal picture as you normally would
4) once you get to the part where you hit accept picture, go to your xbox, and get ready to take out your memory device.
5) press accept, and quickly take out your USB/MD.
6) Stay signed in. Disregard the PLEASE REPLACE MU ;~; message.
At the computer:
1) Open horizon, and open your profile in package manager.
2) Go to the "contents" tab.
3) replace pp_64 and pp_32 with your own files you hopefully prepared earlier.
4) Rehash, resign, and go back to your xbox.
At the xbox again!:
1) Sign back in. Right away you should see your own picture being displayed on the sign in menu.
2) Go to edit profile -> gamerpicture -> Personal Picture.
3) Pick the modded picture.
The gamerpicture on that tag is from my sig..

And you should be set! Pictures / video coming soon-ish (this weekend, perhaps?)

I'm very surprised that this actually works. Nice find

Don't know if those affected the outcome or not. If you want to record the Xbox portion of the tutorial in HD and don't have the equipment, I would be more than happy to do it and send you the Raw footage, as long as I can do this again so I don't end up messing up.
A VIDEO?!
Working as of 12/21/11

I'm just going to say what I did and hopefully you can find out the error:
1. Moved profile to USB
2. Took Picture
3. Clicked accept and disconnected USB right after, got the error message, signed out of the account.
4. Opened the Profile using the Device Manager on Horizon
5. Replaced pp_32 and pp_64 with my own pp_32 and pp_64 (both as png files which I made in Photoshop)
6. Resign/Rehashed/Saved profile
7. Put USB back in xbox
8. Signed into Xbox Live, went to profile and selected the gamerpicture
9. On another account, which is friends with the account I am testing this on, I looked at my FL and it's still the original picture.
Whats the gamertag / upload your 64 and 32 images.
im assuming if i put something naughty ill get banned?
Right you are.
@Neko Jims: I've got no real idea as to what's going wrong, maybe the timings a bit ****ed or something? Try to do it faster or slower.. If you get fed up with it I [could] just recover it and do it for you, but..
I remember way back when some guy made videos of him trolling people with a Nazi Flag as his gamerpicture and he got banned, IIRC.
the swastika is a symbol of peace in many cultures the fact that they ban for that is preposterous yet again it could of been the time when they didnt let you express religion but you can now so who knows what would happen now
OT: i could have some fun with this if only i had a vision cam how much are they these days??
