I have downloaded several wallpapers which say they are sized for the Dell Streak (800 x 480 pixels), but when I load them they are huge and don't fit at all on the screen.
I am obviously doing something wrong...
You should try wallstreak.

Is it possible to use HTC sense keyboard on dell streak ?
How do i install it ?
the one from streak is soooo smal for the screen...
U should try ultra keyboard
Loads of customisation and the keys r huge.
I love using it especially the swype feature.
I've tried installing the HTC keyboard but supposidly it's something to do the framework apk
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
Well I'm actually using it now. Just install it as a normal apk. And reboot.
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
u cud try smartkeyboard pro..it has an option for a HTC skin for the keyboard...
You can go to www.gimpsta.com to make a custom skinned htc keyboard and then just install the apk as usual.
Just remember to go into your settings to activate it for use before attempting to change your input method.

None of these work as they should...
The htc keyboard doesn't work at all...
If you have rooted your phone you can adjust the lcd density which will cause all buttons drawn to be larger.
You will need root access to /system/build.prop. Open it in a text editor and scroll down to the "other edits" section and increase the number by increments of 20 till you find what you like. A reboot will be required to have changes take affect.

Can you confirm this, and which version did you pick when you made it.

Same for me so far. I have tried a couple of versions and no go for any of them. Did not try a reboot though.
I tried rebooting but it doesn't work...
I've recently been testing Screenshot it on the Streak for the dev, and can now confirm it takes screenshots in the correct orientation and without the red tint!
I guess this is the first fully working app, so anyone who wants a great screenshot app should find it in the market immediately!

Screenshot by gik soft has always worked fine on the streak.
but it's always nice having an alternative for whatever reason
No it doesn't, the image comes out upside down.
Screenshot it is the only one I've found that corrects the orientation.
Sent from my Dell Streak using Tapatalk
dont think i would pay $4 just because the image is auto rotated in portrait when gallery has it itself.
I found that even after rotating in the gallery, when I upload to buzz/facebook etc, the image is still upside down.
Sent from my Dell Streak using Tapatalk
Just updated to 1.991 and the orientation works but my screeshots have a bluish tint. When i select the option to invert the colors, the screenshots have the heavy red tint. I am on retail 351.

Same here on 318. It is sooooo hit and miss with the streak and screenshot apps.

I'm currently on 318 without any tint.
Would you be able to contact the dev via app market?
He's waiting on feedback.

Awfully strange that it works for me but fails for others :-/
The dev is waiting on feedback though. Tap him up as he's wanting to get it working for us.

yeah screenshot it works...you just need to clarify to change orientation in the settings but id rather just edit them myself then pay 4 bucks for it...
Personal preference I guess. Even when I rotated the images, they would still show up upside down when I uploaded them. At least this works properly for me.

I've got version 2.0 & for the first time
taking a screenshot works to the full.
Of course, one still has to tick the box
"flip picture", not to get it upside down.
I tried every version of every screenshot
app so far, & this is the very first to work.
The app "screenshot" mentioned above, was
never able to present the picture other than
upside down, although the colors were correct.
Screenshot It, on the other hand, was able to
flip the picture, but never with correct colors.
I still used the "Screenshot" app until now, since
it was simple to get the picture flipped anyway.
You just took a shot, & then another shot of the
shot - voila! Picture not upside down anymore.
Now I don't need to perform those acrobatics anylonger...
Haha! I never thought about taking a shot of a screenshot...
Glad you have a better solution now

My dell streak did not show the tiny fonts
Sent from the Almighty Note!
The Streak had a crap resolution compared to the Note. Amazon just needs to update their app store.
Change your dpi to 340. Hit thanks if I helped you
I doubt want to change font just for an app store. Thought perhaps there a a setting on the app store somewhere..?

How do I do this? Can I change it back and for easily? Can I change it for just one app? Is 340 the correct dpi for our device?
There is no way to change the font size. Interestingly, the tablet mode only started with a later update to the appstore. Also for whatever reason it runs in 'phone mode' on ics
Go into your build.prop and scroll down. You will see default is set at 320. Change it above that
I wouldn't change your lcd density ...it will mess up other apps...including phone app...some will look funny or be off aligned....

Does anyone know where the stock wallpapers are located on the DNA? I'm trying to set a Sense 5 wallpaper but the Gallery app, Astro, and ES File Explorer won't let me set the wallpaper properly. I'm trying to set it for portrait yo view to entire picture, but each app wants me to resize it with its framing square. This is a problem because it distorts the image when it zooms in. Can someone help with this? Is there another way to set wallpapers in portrait without having to resize?

Try using this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.twistedapps.wallpaperwizardrii&hl=en
It lets you set the entire wallpaper instead of having to crop it.

It works except it doesn't fully scale. It leaves a black bar at the bottom of the screen where the wallpaper doesn't cover. I tried using the fix option where you change the numbers, but it didn't work. I guess because this is a full HD device and there's no way to scale.

Nice app but we are looking for a way to take stock wallpapers already on phone from HTC One (from downloading) and taking the entire 1080x1920 image and making it the background. With images already on phone you have to use that selector from HTC which forces you to shrink image...

Nope.
Install the app. Go to your gallery and select the wallpaper you'd like to set
Touch the screen and go to More -> Set as -> set as wallpaper.
That will trigger picspeed.
Have fun
I stand corrected. It takes a little tweaking but it worked! Thanks. You have to goto gallery app then go to picture you want, don't do personalize under settings...once you get to the picsee deal then you have go select the rectangle square on right to get full image...little confusing at first but it worked. The full screen option states it only works on picsee wallpapers...but when I selected the landscape wide option it highlighted the entire image and worked like a charm!
Thanks again!

Hi,
As you all know, when you set your wallpaper it stretches out on more than one page.
I do not want this to happen. is there any way you can change this?
Lets say i want to use the below image and want it to fit the screen and not strech out.
Is there a way for me to do it without it looking bad?
I used a program before (cant remember the name wallpaperiwisisi or something) but that didnt work as good as i thought.
Image to wallpaper is a great app to use
I think you cant disable the scaling or wallpaper scrolling

There's a few Live Wallpaper's that will let you load an image and it won't scroll, can't remember their names though, but should give you an idea of where to start looking.
