Hi to all,
I try to explain this (my english language is poor)
When i open with gallery an high quality image i see it in lower quality then really it is and if i set it as home wallpaper it is still in low quality.
Before i thought that Hero's screen had not enough colors (i think 262.000) to display all shadings, but after i tried to set as home wallpaper the same image with another app (Wallpaper Set & Save or Wallpaper Plus) and the image/wallpaper was perfect.
For to be more clear i added 2 screenshots of same image set as wallpaper with default Album app and with "Wallpaper Set & Save".
In first 3 black blocks you can see big differences of quality. This is only an example but i have same problem with other images and not only when i set them as wallpapers, also when i watch them with album app. Am i the only one with this problem or album app is buggy?
I added the image link for who wants to try himself: http://www.mediafire.com/imageview.php?quickkey=1mywznmatmy
Thanks in advance,
Andrea
Thanks to all for help

always fascinating, ppl don't get their problems solved for free within 24hours so they start *****in' around. and they know for sure that everybody knows the answer, but they don't explain it because they are mean and greedy.
ever thought that nobody can help you with this? or is this unacceptable for you?
I think that "download a picture and set it as wallpaper and tell me if you have my same problem or not" is not very difficult to do.
I don't pretend an answer like:
"ok i solved your problem, do this: ..... "
I need only answers like:
"i have same problem" or "on my hero i don' t have this problem"
so i can understand if it's a problem of my hero and i can try to solve it or it's a bug of album apk and i'll stay with it
Correct me if i am wrong
sure, why use the search and find out that it has been discussed already...
and sure, it is probably a hardware fault in the dedicated album art coprocessor, you should get your handset replaced...
Ok, so you mean that not all Hero have this bug.
I've just performed a reset and the problem is still here, must i call Htc customer service and ask a repair/replacement?
my album app clearly degrades the quality but i assumed it was to reduce the file size and in turn reduce memory usage
Can you try this?
Download this regular lockscreen
http://www.mediafire.com/imageview.php?quickkey=enyzn22lzml
and set it as lockscreen background;
is it ok?
Or lose quality?
So if i want to set regular lockscreen i must reset my device! I think it's not a good thing.

i was being ironic. there is no such thing as an album art coprocessor. i thought it was obvious, sorry.
if you had searched for your problem you had pretty easily found that this is a common problem. since you can solve the problem with software, how should it be a hardware bug?

someone mentioned somewhere here that you can put the wallpaper into rosie.apk with metamorph, but when there was no button labeled "wallpaper" in metamorph i was too lazy to dig into it, i just use the wp s&s method.
i have the same problem as you
when i set a pic as the wallpaper i lose quality big time
anyways i'll do what you said and use the apps you mentioned
thanks

OK, Here is the deal.
I have created a working XdaLive Screen Lock for the XdaLive Live Wm6.
This is similar to the iphone with a working Sliding Unlocker. Only I put the sliding unlocker on the top and used XdaLive image as the Background & put the Digital Clock and Date at the Bottom as you can see in the Image I attached.
FINAL WORKING LIST:
1. Battery Life
2. NEW SMS Counter
3. Active Tasks
4. New Emails
5. OWNER NAME DISPLAY.
(TODO: A LOT OF THINGS LIKE ADDING MORE FUNCTIONALITY, FIX A LOT OF LITTLE THINGS & NEED TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO READ REGISTRY KEYS with SPACES in BETWEEN ANY HELP? ONE THING IS TO NOT HAVE THE APPLICATION QUIT ON END BUTTON (FIXED!).)
Another thing:
----------------------
Does anyone know how to replace the default Lock with this one? I tried replacing the DeviceLock.exe with this one and it does not work. BSDeviceLock.exe does not exist in WM6 either.
WAS A LITTLE OUT OF IT BECAUSE OF JACK DANIELS. HENCE THE BLACK SLIDER
DUE TO A LOT OF PEOPLE WANTING TO TEST THIS, I DECIDED TO JUST PUT THE FILES IN THE OPEN AS I WORK WITH THEM. LIKE DAILY SNAPSHOP OF THE EXECUTABLES (WHENEVER I WORK ON THEM)
THIS IS A PRE-PRE BETA OPEN TEST RELEASE AND NOT PACKAGED.
UNZIP AND PUT THE FILES IN A FOLDER. THE DLL & THE EXECUTABLE HAVE TO BE IN THE SAME FOLDER
REQUIREMENT: FLASH ACTIVEX (NOT FLASH LITE)
ZIP FILE DESCRIPTIONS:
--------------------------
1. xdaLiveScreenLock.zip (XDA LIVE UNLOCKER)
2. SliderLock.zip (JACK DANIELS BLACK SLIDER)
*****MORE IMPORTANCE WAS GIVEN FOR LOOKS RATHER THAN FUNCTIONALITY WHEN STARTING THIS.****
not responsible for anything that might happen by using this little useless application. There are a lot of small glitches usability wise, else works good. preference was given to aesthetics more than anything else. The size is big due to the sliding component being created in flash.
ADDED A 240X240 SLIDER. THIS HAS NOT BEEN TESTED AS I DO NOT HAVE A 240X240 Device.
.
this looks excellent, good job! I have been wondering about that also, devicelock is signed is it not?
Anyone know of a generic wrapper with basic API calls that I can call from within this Flash Application?
edit: compiled own from source code found, change adopted and compiled.
Hi,
i don't really use the device lock... because when turning the phone in standby all key's are locked and i don't want that the screen is always on...
or is there any other significance about using the device lock??

don't really know it helps... but just test too but the string in " " like in commandline when using spaces... maybe you can just try to use double bslashes \\windows\\system32\\
this looks awesome. the people on this forum never cease to amaze me. Pure Genius
WOW the progress of this is really good sir, youve managed to implement a few more features since i last looked. This will definatly be in the Extras wiki page once it is fully working
I thought about what you could do in respect to replacing the standard lock, disable the lock in the today settings and map this program to a hardware button (5??) How does it fair after a power off (just standby not fully off) as it would be a good way to check the time etc... in the night?
keep up the good work CD, quite a few people are waiting for something like this.
Heya all gurus, give tha man a little help with issues maybe?
Thanks Ppl.
This is something I have been wanting to do for a while now but just got around to doing it. Hopefully in a couple days I will have everything squared out.
I am wondering if I should let ppl test this out. I will also have changeable backgrounds for this.

To read the registry I had to actually use \\\\ to get to different levels. But I am NOT able to read the Value Names with spaces.

Since not even Sbp Mobile Shell was able to replace the lock screen (and that while they basically have something to show then ready with their new Intro screen), I guess it could get quite complicated to replace it...
Does anyone know if the fake iPhone things that were or were not around are able to replace the lock screen? I especially remember that last one were only videos existed, it had a real good fake, but I'm not sure if the video showed it really in action as a lock screen?

I am able to Execute it on "Device Wake" via notifications (thanks KYPHUR for the suggestion.) I also actually was able to replace keylock @ Install time and an installation induced reset. The icon also shows up in the Setting folder.
I am also thinking about doing a Today Plugin. Let's see how that goes.
Looks nice..cant wait till its released..
open Pre-pre Beta Test Release On The First Post.
.
Where to download?
Yeah!!
Would love a slider unlocker as a today plugin. I use the WMP plugin since I use my phone as an mp3 player a lot so the device lock function on the today screen is a must for me.
Great work and look forward (hopefully) to a today plugin.

Could you use %20% AND %40% to represent the space and other special characters as they do on other windows products? MS has a list on its knowledge base for these...I think %20% is the space, but not sure

yes, in html and such it is, maybe you could use \%20%\ as space , but I am just a webprogrammer, and not a very good one

Actually, in HTTP requests it's %20 w/o the percent sign at the end, and it simply means 0x20, which is hexadecimal 20 or decimal 32, which indeed is a space. I highly doubt that it would be useful in accessing the registry, though.
I don't see why a space doesn't work as just a space when accessing the registry. Perhaps escape it with a backslash (or two)?

He may have meant .tsk files, but he asked for posting themes, which encompases more than just wallpaper files.
As for dialpad cabs, yes, I knew that, but I don't use any custom dialpads, hence, I didn't post any.
hello victoradjei
yes! I want to .tsk file on X7500,
thank you
Ok, if thats all you really want, just type into google 'vga ppc wallpaper' and you should get more hits than you could shake a stick at. Probably thousands of .tsk files to choose from.
that's definetly not true (thousands), and if you have realvga on your athena then most vga wallpapers (part of the theme) won't work properly. so you have to look for realvga themes.
Your right, it's probably many, many thousands. And who said anything about realvga??? You are the first.
If you have WAD, you'd be able to use ANY wallpaper you want, no matter the size, since you'd be able to stretch it (or shrink as the case may be). You wouldn't need .tsk files either. You could use png, jpg, gif, tga, etc..., and then it wouldn't be thousands of choices it would near endless choices.
Oh wait, you already can use jpg files. You just have to do it through the included photo viewer, so you can disable the transparency.
As for resolution, use your favorite pc photo manipulation software the change the image size, and/or convert to jpg, if needed and you don't have WAD. There, now your choices are near endless, and you don't even need to have WAD afterall.
Obviously, I'm sure you already knew all that, though.
there may be people who don't wanna ruin there system by installing WA, the biggest system break of all besides phonealarm and battery pack (my poor device)!!!!
and there may be users who don't wanna put a photo on the today screen when you hardly can read anything anymore.
and there may be people who are just looking for the htc theme and don't need anyone to tell them how they can find vga themes thorugh google (like the threadstarter).
and many thousands of vga themes? that just tells me how little you know about that and that you haven't searched at all!
I agree about WA, I hate it.
I found a simple Crossbow theme in this forum that has no photo, looks nice and works on the Ameo(Athena) ok. Just search for Crossbow Theme.
I also found a phone theme (cant remember where) that makes the T-Mob dialpad look nice again but I have a problem. Its very dark, and the text at the top is black!
Does anybody know the Reg Key to change the colour of font on the phone dialer?
I cant read the network or number etc.

Why don't you try searching first before pretending to know a thing or two, of which you obviously don't.
I found 243,000 pages relating to my search of VGA PPC Wallpaper. Yes 99% are rubbish (I'm sure a couple of dozen are not), but on just page ONE, I found 300-400 .tsk's in VGA, between websites. Now if you have something CONSTRUCTIVE to say, perhaps let the OP know where he may find the themes he's looking for, then post that. Otherwise, go sit in the back of the class and pay attention. You may learn something, yet.
Since you din't read my post well, I'll say it once again, you DON'T need WAD (I never even mentioned WA!) to install any wallpaper you want. Use the WM5 photo viewer to set the background image and remove transparency. You don't need to use a photograph (making it hard to see text as you put it), you can use ANY graphic file you find or make.
If one prefers not do these things, and is still intent on only using .tsk files, that fine, there are tons out there. So don't start causing problems. It seems I'm the only one who has even tryed to help out in some way, so far.

Its a combination of software, including Wisbar Advance 2, Wisbar Advance Desktop (both by Lakeridge Software), SBSH Pocketbreeze, Phonealarm, and Weather Panel. There are some really impressive themes over at http://www.lakeridgesoftware.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=34. So far, no compatibility issues, lock ups, or anything. PM me if need any more info.

Thanks for the info. If I do migrate to that package and its themes I'd want to make sure I keep two features: 1) 3G indicator at top to confirm that type of connection, 2) Indications of each email account and number of unread messages. Any VGA themes you recommend that keep those features? Found one here but don't see either of the above: http://www.kolumbus.fi/anders.ruohio/wa/organizervga.html

1) To my knowledge, the 3G icon has not been identified seperately from other connections in any Wisbar skins. For me, I did not care, since I can't do anything about it anyway, but I can see if it were essential to find a 3G area, it would be needed to know.
2) I'm not sure whether phonealarm can do this or not. I vaguely remember reading posts about custom email alerts (didn't know what that meant then or now). The phonealarm forums are located athttp://www.pocketmax.net/smf/index.php
I wish you luck in finding what your looking for.
Hi for All!!!!!
Does anyone know how to place animated gif to the manila home screen to cover the Operator text(I mean with overlap)
on upper layer(Like Forelayer)?
I know that animation should not be added to the home screen but maybe another layer to display.And would be freely positioned on the xy coordinates.
Maybe with a 3rd party application?
Can anyone recommend a program that can display animated-Gif on today screen with configuration options?
My ROM: G10 Dusk Ultimate 2 WWE
Manila: 2.5.20173921.0
Thank you in advance for your answers!
I would like to kick-start the imagination of professionals ...
For example: (There is a WHITE thumbnail)
See Post: #15 !!!!!
Hmm, I'm a little bit confused with your signature;
But if you used CHT you can't use animated wallpaper!?
I'm not sure about your question.
Oooops!

Misunderstood me.
I want to show a gif file on the manila home screen.
I'm talking about not the animated wallpapers but a single Gif-file.
If you look at the attachments, you understand what I mean.
I know that it is impossible for a simple way.
But see if there is a solution...

Thx to Houser.
It uses the today-screen.
But it's not what I thought.
Nobody knows a solution?

Not as background but as a separate gif animation, which is can be freely positioned.

I seem to have an issue whereby when I adjust the alignment of a 3D image to make it crisper and then click Save, the image looks fine. Then when I navigate to another image or exit the gallery the image alignment reverts back to the original and the changes aren't saved.
Does anyone else have this problem?
Some people seem to have the same issue: http://forum.pocketables.net/showthread.php?t=10163
Bump?
I've tried restarting the phone and removing the battery but the problem still persists...
Hmmm, I've noticed some changes seem to be saved but after connecting the phone to my Mac changes are lost! The file modified date does not change from the created date either...
I've found an app called 3DSteroid which can make alignment changes but surely I shouldn't really have to buy an app to do what the phone should already do!
So nobody else has this problem on here?
What are you using to adjust use alignments?
The standard Gallery app like so:
http://www.htc.com/uk/howto.aspx?id=83886&type=1&p_id=398
Wow! I didn't even know about that! That's cool. Now I can save my 3D pictures into 2D. Woohoo!
As for your question, mine remembers the settings. You think your gallery apk is corrupted? If so, I could upload mine and see if that helps.
Hehe it's a good feature to have (while it works on mine!).
Out of interest on yours does it remember the settings after you plug/unplug the phone from a computer and does it actually modify the files or does the gallery app store the alignment settings?
Thanks but I'm not rooted and I'm guessing I can't replace the app without having root access? It's something I'm looking at doing but I've only just got the phone so I'm a bit nervy about it!
From the looks of it, the gallery just remembers the new alignment. I don't think you need to be rooted to reinstall an apk file.
PM your email address to me. I'll send it to ya.
Ah thanks, I've just PM'ed you with my email. Do I just install from ASTRO like any other apk file?
Thanks!
The version you sent me was slightly newer. I clicked Upgrade but it comes up with an error 'Application not installed'.
File Version = 4.02117323218.115252
Installed Version = 4.0.2116342830.92213
Maybe I do need root access?
Well that sucks.
It's very odd... on some pics the settings seem to save (but then can revert back again at some point) and on other pics the settings don't save at all!
Oh well, thanks for your help anyway.
No prob. Hurry up and get rooted!
You guys do realize the adjustment is on a per-image basis, right? The setting isn't supposed to "stick" as a global setting because you are not adjusting the display: you are adjusting the parallax of an individual photo.
Mike
Yes we do. He's talking about how he tries to save the change, but for that file, it doesn't save the change.
And it's really weird how they revert back after a while, which leads me to believe that option has a cache limitation in the gallery, or either that his gallery is messed up.

Hi, yes I realise it is on a per-image basis. The issue I'm having is that changes do not 'stick' to the images.
I guess a hard reset could help but I'm reluctant to do that as it'll mean re-applying all my settings etc.

Hello, have you ever had this bug? only on the main screenHello, have you ever had this bug? only on the main screen
i would warranty that right away .
Since certain features of the screen are not color-scrambled I don't think it's a hardware problem to be warranty corrected. My guess is there is something wonky about the file format of the picture. I would try another picture of plain origin and see if the issue clears up. If so, just convert your desired format to a slightly different format which would avoid the bug in interpreting it.
