get_file_name method is where the actual naming occurs. In order to avoid much workarounds and just hit the nail on the head, edit it as follows:

protected function get_file_name($file_path, $name, $size, $type, $error,
        $index, $content_range) {
    $name = $this->trim_file_name($file_path, $name, $size, $type, $error,
        $index, $content_range);
    //don't return this right away; parse it to a variable
    $unique_file_name = $this->get_unique_filename(
        $file_path,
        $this->fix_file_extension($file_path, $name, $size, $type, $error,
            $index, $content_range),
        $size,
        $type,
        $error,
        $index,
        $content_range
    );
    //generate your custom name here
    $custom_name = uniqid('profilepic');
    //extract file extension
    $file_extension = pathinfo($unique_file_name, PATHINFO_EXTENSION);
    return $custom_name.'.'.$file_extension;
}
