I have an image I wish to use as a wallpaper background on my home screen.
I have cropped the image in photoshop to the exact screen size, I have successfully blue-toothed it from my mac to my Hero, when I go to set it as my background it only takes a section of it and not the whole image itself.
When looking at the standard wallpapers they are all landscape and selecting one also only takes the middle section to use.
Any ideas?
Whenever I have set my own picture as a Home wallpaper, the Hero shows a green cropping rectangle that sets the correct aspect ratio.
Do you not get this ? If so make sure the green box is resized correctly to display your image.
Also... in case I read you wrong... the wallpaper covers all 7 Home screen's and is not supposed to be enclosed in just one. ie you will see a section of it and this will move slightly as you swipe between Home's.
BTW, what did you use to Bluetooth the file from your Mac ? My Mac won't see it in Bluetooth File Exchange.
Of course forgot that it was one giant screen...
Just using the regular built in bluetooth, (have a dual 2.8 imac, OSX 10.6 snow leopard)
On another note - do you know what size the image would have to be made to fit the entire 7 screens (pixels or mm)
Snow Leopard How's that going ??
Maybe 10.6 adds more functionality ?
Did you just pair it with Bluetooth setup ? I did try that but it failed to find any services.
I believe its 640 x 480 or any other size to that aspect ratio.
Snow Leopard is the mutts..... Little bit quicker and I gained approx 15gb on my HD (not really noticeable when you have 1tb internal and 1tb external though )
Various little tweaks and a few old things improved.
Could well be that Snow Leopard has improved functionality, I know my friend had probs running OSX 10.5 and it wasn't seeing his Hero but mine is fine
Sounds good... being ex-Apple its great when the company do things right
mrdavie, I've just installed 10.6 (finally arrived this morning), but the Hero is still not seen as having the necessary services for file transfer - how are you doing it ??

Is there a way to set the wallpaper on the Mini Pro, without having to crop the image? I'm having a little bit of a poor experience in getting the wallpaper the way I want. Tried 240 x 320 sized images and same thing. Any ideas or apps ? (Or free beer? )
You can drag on the corners of the box to make it bigger in the cropping screen.
I was aware of the ability to adjust the size of the crop window using the edge markers. However, the results are often stretch, blurred, pixelated or something else.
I figured out a bit of a workaround though, from looking at this article HERE
To quote them:
Select an image that is 960 x 854 pixels.
Go to the option to change the wallpaper
Select the pictures folder, where you have the images stored (In above mentioned resolution)
A cropping square will appear, drag it to one corner and then maximize it as far as it will go to cover the whole image. Then hit ‘Save’.
Hey guys and gals,
How about wallpaper size and resolution?
What size and resolution of wallpaper are you guys using for the Archos 101. I'm currently trying to find the best size of wallpaper that will allow me to see the whole picture on the screen without having to cut a large chunk out of it.
What are you guys experiencing and have observed.

If you just use the stock wallpaper app, that is never going to happen. It will fore you to cut the picture in a square, and then zooms in.
Use something like Wallpaper Set and Save, or MultiPicture Live Wallpaper. I prefer the latter as it does not cut or crop my picture.
Same as every other Android device.
Double the narrow resolution.
So in our case, wallpaper for the 1024x600 display is 1024x1200.
For some reason though, not sure if it's Archos or Android, the quality is still degraded a bit. Not noticeable for a lot of images unless there's text that's already on the verge of illegible.
thanks, TempestDK! MultiPicture Live Wallpaper worked like a charm
I found that on my A70, I had to use a 1280x1040 image was perfect and gave me the full image. I have a great Super Mario wallpaper on currently (see attachment).
for A70 -> 960 x 800 or 800 x 960 and will work in vertical and horizontal position too
Here is a list of the recommended wallpaper resolutions for each Generation 8 devices
Archos 28 - 320x480 or 480x320
Archos 32 - 400x480 or 480x400
Archos 43 - 854x960 or 960x854
Archos 70 - 800x960 or 960x800
Archos 101 - 1024x1200 or 1200x1024

how about when it is on horizontal??does it fits?
I tried a 1024 x 1200 on my Archos 101 and it didnt look great. It lost the bottom of the picture. Looked OK in Portrait. There's something going on with the way Archos is resizing the pics.....
What is the exact screen size I should use while developing apps for Prime ?
Declared screen resolution isn't correct, because I used that and tested and its not showing in full size as it should, so it must be some other screen size.
Don't know, but would it work to take a screen shot and mail yourself the photo?
I had the same trouble with my hubs screens. Beautiful Photoshop stuff, but when they display at the original (advertised) size, they have a few pixels missing at either end.
I've used 1280x800px, but width of 1280 won't go to their ends and height seems to be shorter, because I see font degradation and rest of the objects, but its best visible on fonts (at least in my case.)
I'll have to explore tomorrow with different sizes... although I don't like these testing where I have to do whoknows how much of them to find exact dimensions.
The system bar take 48 pixels. So the actual resolution that's is available is 1280x752
If you going to create a app. I why don't look at android developer section for guide and info.. Just a suggestion...

Both of your links don't mention 752px, there is 720.
Anyways I don't use Android SDK or any other of their info. I use Adobe Flash and do it all from there. Very easy and no need for lots of reading
I will be using my phone as a desktop computer. I will connect it to a monitor but my monitor just like most monitors have a 16 by 9 aspect ratio. Now when I mirror my phone, it creates a black bars on top and bottom because the phone aspect ratio is wider. I want to change phone aspect ratio to 16 by 9 too. Anyway to do this? By the way, I'm using Andromium's Sentio Desktop app to change my UI to a desktop appropriate one so it looks good on the big monitor. If you guys have a better idea on turning my phone to desktop, please share too. Thanks in advance!
Hello, I installed android x86 on an old laptop to run a game. Everything is working correctly and no issues so far. Now I’m trying to run one app that only works in cellphone resolution (720x1280). Tried to change resolution with apps from playstore, resolution changed but app stoped. Tried to change resolution with terminal ( wm size 720x1280 ), resolution changed but app still stops. Then i finally remembered to edit build.prop and added (debug.drm.mode.force=720x1280) to build.prop and the app started to work, but now the resolution doesn’t fit in display, causing the image to flip and stretch in screen. Now that I’m sure that it’s a resolution problem to use the app, is there any alternatives to display things proportionally on screen without flipping all the system and apps?
Thanks and sorry for the big text
