I'm running 2.1 Generic Rooted. I also use FolderOrganizer with the Widgets/Containers.
I've noticed running the Sony 2.1 Home Screen that the transpararent background of the FolderOrganizer containers looks A LOT better than it use to.
However I prefer to run LauncherPro. When I use LauncherPro though the gradients look like they use too on 1.6.
Has anyone noticed this?

No dice. I did notice though that when I flip through home screens the gradient is "Sony Home Screen Quality" for a second then when the page is finished "bouncing" the gradient turns back to the ugly LauncherPro style.
Quite odd. Now that I've noticed it, it bugs me.
EDIT: Ok with the high quality scrolling on it looks normal anytime I'm scrolling pages. So I have HQ but only when scrolling then it is low quality when you release the screen. What the hell.

I would like to have this wallpaper that's featured also by the new 8.9" Galaxy Tab.
Is there anyone that can share it?
Thanks a lot
I think you just have to set one of your 7 available Touchwiz homescreens to look like the wallpaper you wish to have.
Then take a picture of this homescreen with the stock GS2 Screen Capture app (Home + Power buttons).
Then set this picture as wallpaper.
Don't know about the rendering quality of this wallpaper but shouldn't look so bad.
Maybe it's worth a try.
Good luck
that looks good phone
If you only want the background picture of the displayed homescreen, then it's available in the stock wallpapers of the GS2.
If you want your background picture to look like the homescreen shown on your picture, you can set one of the 7 available Touchwiz homescreens to your taste, then you take a picture of this homescreen with the stock Screen Capture of the GS2 (Home + Power button).
Then you set this picture as wallpaper and you're done.
Hope I did understand what you wanted. If not then ignore this post and forgive me .
Have a good time with your galactic überphone
EDIT : sorry for this double post. My bad
Whoa, thanks... I didn't notice that this background was actually among those available by default... guess I'm quite an idiot but hell, I didn't look almost at all inside that stock wallpaper gallery... I always use some live wall's I found "here & there"!
Ok thanks a lot!
I stumbled on this "clock" browsing the interwebs while I was getting whooped in fantasy football today. It is not actually a clock but a "typographic live wallpaper". What I like about it is that it is simple and at the same time displaying lots of info. You can customize what info you want to see. You can also set the background to slideshow displaying pics from your gallery.
Here's a few screenshots that I took with the slideshow delay set at 30 seconds.

Here's a link to a youtube video of it in action. I recommend you watch this video if for the music alone.

In case you are wondering about the theme I applied to my phone it is the wonderfully simplistic X-Power+ Black for any KH7 ROM! [1.1.1] ported by jivy26
You can find it here

Been runnin this live wallpaper for a day now and have experienced no discernible battery drain. Been off the charger for 9 hours with moderate usage and battery is at 66%.
Ive actually had this on my Captivate and have had it on my GS2. I like it, its different.
It's too big... and by that I mean it only allows me to use the bottom row of widget space without covering up any of the clock. The second to bottom row starts to cover the year. If it was a big shorter vertically then I'd like it. Perhaps there is something in settings in the full version... I dunno.
Love this. keeps my home screen looking nice and clean.thanks for posting.

Hi, new member here.
After reading about the custom roms for quite a while I finally decided to move on from the official ICS 4.0.4 to try the latest. I successfully installed this one: [ROM] [JB 4.3.1] CM10.2/SGT7 for P4WIFI and P4 [20131116]
While it feels overall much more quick and better than ICS and has lots of more advanced settings that are pretty useful, there's one thing I was missing in the settings and I'm simply wondering if it's there and I just couldn't find it.
You see, I often use the tablet to view photos and videos/movies and all my other displays in my home are calibrated to the reference, and when using Samsung's version of ICS 4.0.4 there was a color setting in display settings looking like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
By default it was set to standard which gave the whole image an uncomfortable blue tint, but when set to movie it resembled my other displays enough for me to not go for some more advanced calibration method. In the custom rom the display is set to what would've been standard in the old settings.
So is this a feature only available in Samsung's UI or can I find it somewhere buried in the menus of the custom rom?
If it's not there, are there any advanced color settings apps that can't be found on google play that maybe works even better?
I'm off to try some of the settings apps until I get a reply. Thanks in advance!
EDIT:
I've tried lots of apps and stuff now and nothing can correct the picture like the old setting did.
If there's no way to implement this into the rom I guess I'm rolling back to ICS.

I 've liked the first look for time playing but 1/4 was advertisment. And after some seconds I had full screen advertisment. I can't see now why I should change back from default player.

So I recently acquired an LG K51s, because my old Sony broke due to water penetration.
One annoying thing I really dislike about the phone (apart from the rubbish skin LG uses), is the simple fact when I go into horizontal mode the phone cuts off part of the top screen to make it look seamless (because it has a hole-punch camera cutout).
Now I really don't mind the camera, provided I can use the 6.55" 20x9 720p screen. So I'd like to know, if there a way I can permanently disable it? I know Nova launcher and YouTube can somehow bypass it and use the whole screen.
Thanks in advance!

So this is kinda useless. But I'll keep trying nonetheless!
I suspect the problem is with com.android.systemui. I have managed to extract the APK and will be looking around to see if I can somehow disable a custom setting in System UI Tuner. If that doesn't work I may have to edit it manually and see if I can overwrite it, somehow...

Settings app giving me the stupid black bar (horizontal)
Same issue in Chrone as in the Settings app (horizontal)
But any app that plays videos (in my case it's YouTube) has the option to remove the black bars (horizontal)
Why is no one giving me ANY useful input?
I can even upload the 90mb systemui apk if, anyone has the knowledge and experience to go through it.
Mods, what the on earth is going on???
