Hello everyone, has anyone else experienced this issue?
I have a 640x480 wallpaper which looks great when viewed in album, or in my computer but when applied as a wallpaper, it loses quality.
HTC asked me if I have updated to their latest firmware, did update fix the issue for you?
I've noticed this, it seems to apply for the lock screen as well as the home wallpaper. Running the latest ROM doesn't seem to have fixed it.
Seems like the pictures don't get cropped correctly. The thing is that it happens with all the pictures, despite the fact that they are the correct resolution.
Download Wallpaper Set & Save. It will keep your wallpaper looking nice and shiny

That did the job, thanks. But the thing is that this is an issue that needs to be fixed by HTC, so that we do not need to have an extra application installed, that fixes it.
WOW!!!...I saw this thread but was convinced there was no real solution, but I was wrong!! Works amazingly well!!!
BTW, does anyone know how to get this to work with the lockscreen? Or what does it exactly do so that I can do it manually with the lockscreen pic?

Can those on Froyo please report if you're seeing this? I'm seeing mixed responses! Make sure you are using the STOCK Launcher! If you're using another Launcher chances are they used the previous bugged images, that's why.
Note: STOCK Launcher, please. If you're having this bug with another Launcher, feel free to reply but please state which Launcher you're using, and if you can, contact the dev and tell him to fix it . If the dev is interested, prash has fixed those images and they are available here: http://github.com/cyanogen/android_...mmit/afc8145a97ed4a6a1335aa625a4a9b972fb1622a
Hi all,
In Launcher2, the folder images seem to be misaligned. Take a look at the following screenshot (the part between the title and the contents of the folder):
It'd be good if someone could get it fixed! I would but I'm really bad at 9-patch images. MontAlbert has kindly helped me a few times but it's still misaligned, he think it might be due to the code in Launcher2.
Your thoughts/solutions?
This is still an use on Froyo 2.2 as I can see...
ok ill try and this fixed for 2morrow

Not on my 2.2
I fixed this in CM source recently for 2.1, and running froyo now it seems Google has fixed it themselves.
See: http://github.com/cyanogen/android_...mmit/afc8145a97ed4a6a1335aa625a4a9b972fb1622a
Do not have this issue in 2.2 Froyo for me seems to be aligned

I have it in 2.2
The main problem I see with these folders is not the alignment bug, but simply that they look ugly !
Do you guys think it would be possible to skin them and maybe add a little bit of transparency (or maybe a gradient) in the background ?
What a waste of time! I think this post serves to no purpose. There is no mulfunction here, only a visual misalignment almost invisible. Try to focus on other real problems for example the scrolling of programs on the original launcher. My 2 cents.
rgl12miami: What is your problem? There are people working on code, and people working on graphics as well. prash has put in effort to fix a Google bug, and calling it a waste of time really pisses me off. A bug is a bug, no matter how big or small. If every minor bug was overlooked you'd get a system with many small unimportant bugs?
BlueScreenJunky: Stay on topic? =) There're skinned Launchers, maybe you should check out Themes and Apps section?

I've seen this happen when I edited the background .9 patch file.
Even though the patch file "appeared" to be ok, it rendered exactly like your screenshot.
britoso: Yeah! That's what happened to me back then too. Ok, I just re-tried adding a folder in Launcher2 in CM5.0.7.1, and the bug is still there . prash?
It is fixed on Froyo on both my N1s. It is still, however, a bug in Cyan 5.0.7.1 and it has to be in code somewhere because I couldn't fix the image no matter how hard I tried. I haven't tried pulling in the image from Froyo yet but it probably won't work. It's worth a try, though. And for the record, this is not a "small" bug. It annoys me so much because I use folders a lot and see this bug 500 times a day.
AndroidAppCritic: Thanks for the feedback. I too, believe it is in the code now...
Folder window looks good to me, no problem in froyo. I will do some testing on my side to see if any other luncher changes this. Will report back.

Fine for me too
I'm sure there are other apps out there for this, but this was the one I stumbled across. Allows you to set a scrollable (or non-scrollable) wall paper without having to crop it with the Honeycomb wallpaper cropper.
Got rid of a lot of headaches very quickly.

I thought so as well at first, but I have the Transformer weather widget and its not as small and compact as his in the screenshot. So unless he found a way to resize - thats something different.
I'm curious as well what those widgets are.

These are from the Asus transformer. You can find them in the apps and themes section. I can upload the wallpaper, I think it is Vancouver.
Install the weather app as you would normally do. I used rootexplorer to make a backup of /system/app/DeskClock.apk and copied the new deskclock.apk into the same dir. The picture may not cover the entire screen in portrait mode.

I tried it on my evo 3d..... my wallpaper no longer scrolls.
I tried all the settings to fix it.....nope didn't work.

How can i fix this?

Anyone else having issues with WW?
My wallpapers periodically get cut off with the no scroll function on, leaving half the home screen black. WW would be the perfect solution for setting wallpapers on tablet if this worked

scrollable, no scroll or exact?!
thanks

I just select no scroll so the entire wallpaper appears and is not cropped. Scrollable will crop the image and reduce resolution. I believe exact is what you may have selected if a small version of the wp appears in lieu of full screen. Unfortunately i am having some issues with no scroll function, which i mentioned above. Some reviews of the app indicate similar issues.

I have tried every setting, tried adjusting the slide,and still it blows up the wallpaper. Unless someone decides to share what they're doing to make it work right I recommend using multi picture live wallpaper. Aside from having to refresh when switching orientation, this app is perfect for setting a proper wallpaper in HC.

I have the same issue.
The last days I was playing a little bit with the density on my phone. At first you want to know which ROM I'm using. > CM9 latest build. I would like to set my density to 178 or also to 170, these are densities, the phone can show without a blurred screen, or blurred icons. Everything works fine and looks bombastic! But the problem is, that the phone.apk keeps crashing.
Everything is working until a density of 190. Below this value, phone.apk crashes everytime you start a call, or are called.
I know this problem is not new, but other threads are not answered and very old.
So... Anyone knows, whats the problem? Why it is. And how we could fix it?
I will try to disable compatibility mode in spare parts, but I don't think that it will work.
Anyone knows a workaround or maybe has a modded phone apk for ics?
Thanks in Advance!
EDIT: As I thought, compatibility mode won't change anything.

I don't know how to solve your problem man,but I suggest you give exDialer a go.It's as smooth,functional and cool-looking(even has an ICS theme available) as the ICS dialer.It'd make for a good alternative until you find the solution.
i'm using 185 on cm9 and phone.apk is working great for me.

The problem is that it isn't the dialer that crashes, but InCallScreen. exDialer still uses the default InCallScreen, so it still crashes.

I believe it breaks once you go below 182. If you were to drop your density to 180, you'd see the crashes, too.
hi,
i read very often about reducing density from twohundred and xxx to one hundred and xxx.
but nobody explained, whats the advantage of reducing this.
can somebody explain to me please?
regards - sui
As everything's a bit smaller, more stuff fits on the screen.
its a problem which isnt even fixd in the latest cm9 build so no, wait for fix!
But when everything is smaller, the widgets wont fit on the homescreen... ?

Hey guys, I've got a problem.
After playing with a bunch of ROMs I found out that there are certain (just a few) wallpapers which, when applied, are shown as if they were broken. As far as I remember it started after I applied original CM10 nightly. I thought it was related to the ROM I was on so I even flashed the original stock ICS and the problem still exists. It doesn't seem to be related to the extension of the wallpaper either. This only happens on my phone, a friend of mine also has LwW and he can apply this wallpaper with no problems. Have you got any ideas on how to solve it?
I'm enclosing some screenshots and a sample wallpaper that's not working.

Yes, I've tried Nova and the built in trebuchet. I'm running ZellyCream rom now and the problem still persists :/ clearing data and cache doesn't help either. Do you think it could be related to the resolution of those wallpapers?

I don't think it is the resolution, I always choose a very high resolution for my wallpaper without any problem.
Anyways, I don't have any idea left so you probably have to wait someone else. Sorry...

So the new Pixel 3 Live wallpapers are out. Everything about the phone is out so this is not a surprise anymore. What I find interesting is that the new wallpapers make us of the AOD too. particularly the Pixie wallpaper has a tiny person on AOD for some time.
Apparently it requires Android P upgrade and the Pixel Wallpapers app installed for this apk to work correctly. Works without issues on my P2XL with Pie not rooted.
Link to article:
https://www.mysmartprice.com/gear/google-pixel-3/
I was skeptical but this really does work, the live wallpapers show on AoD for a short time before going to just clock. Very nice find.
How safe is that APK you reckon?
The Pixel 3 LWPs seem to be working on my unrooted Pixel 2XL, but don't show the cool screen unlock animations that they show on my OnePlus 6 (running official Pie). The wallpapers all seem to work fine otherwise, but rarely with the unlocking animations on the Pixel - at least my device that is.
If it's not clear what I mean, basically on the OP6, these Pixel 3 LWPs each perform a different animation when I unlock the phone. All the 'drop in the ocean's WPs briefly shift from dark to light with a kinda electric wave effect; the bubble up WPs shift right to left from dark to light and the globe on the screen zooms out. The Bloom WPs also begin dark, followed by points of light glowing in thedark on the tips of each of the 'spikes' before the whole screen shifts to its light shade. On my Pixel 2XL, I simply go straight to the full LWP nearly event time I unlock it. Am I the only one with this issue? If not, I'm guessing the OP6's faster unlock may be what allows it to show the unlock animations.

I cannot absolutely guarantee the safety, I can only say that I have not experienced anything negative since I installed this.
But I doubt there would be anything malicious about this.

Wow that sounds quite interesting. I have observed that the Groove wallpaper does not react to music too on the P2XL.
Although I have noticed that the wallpapers behave differently if the phone is charging. You can see the wallpapers moving on the AOD when plugged in and just static when not charging.
Also the SF and NY wallpapers have a cool light effect on the AOD when charging!

Hum, OK, I was wondering if someone ever heard of that website before this leak.
I have installed the live wallpapers and they work fine with the screen on. But the big issue that the majority of them flicker when in AoD, it is specially noticeable with the Earth, Moon and New Horizons wallpapers. I don't see the unlock animations either.
If we downloaded the apk and aren't yet getting the full notifications, is it likely they'll be fully updated ota at some point - or is that likely to happen only with the preloaded Pixel 3?
What is the best version to install on the pixel 2xls?
The official APK seems to flicker and does not have the animations.
One of the ports or do they all have the same issues?

I did not try the OP6 version yet. But for on P2XL the official APK seems to not cause flicker at least for the moonshot wallpaper.
Also the animations are moody as in they work sometimes but not always.
I would suggest go for the official apk as it is most likely to cause least issues elsewhere in the system.
It only flicker's when always display is ON for the PIXEL 2 XL you need to turn it off and switch to tap to wake and or lift to wake and you won't have those flickering issues
It looks like November security patch finally fixed flickering! I don't remember what exactly version of the app I'm using, but it works.
And still no animation.

Holy crap, I'm wrong. It started flickering again. But I'm sure that the first time I've tried the empire State building today morning it wasn't flickering!
It doesn't look like these threat is interested for everyone but still looking forward for something to find a proper solution for animation and note freaking Life wallpaper...

I think it's likely the screen brightness- the flickering is easier to reproduce in dark.
When we disable the always on display, the animation works amazingly well and it is quite pleasant, on the other hand, if the ambient display is on, it starts flickering.
