I'm using a billboard-type particle in order to show a texture/plane look at the camera, the problem is i have the billboard option selected so i can't choose 'object' and the planes from the billboard are working great, but how can i add an object or a (single) texture in order to replace the gray plane the billboard offers?

1$\begingroup$ billboards use the material chosen at the top of the particles render settings. This works in BI but cycles does not appear to render billboard particles. I just reported it as a bug $\endgroup$– samblerMay 19, 2016 at 6:53

As answered in the bug report by Brecht, billboards is a feature that is not supported by cycles and isn't planned to be added any time soon.
To get billboards working you need to be using the blender internal render engine. By default the material used for particles is the same material used on the object emitting the particles, you can change the material used for the billboards in the particle settings in the render panel.
