[Q] Xperia X10 asking diferent aspect ratio pictures for contacts - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I don't know when it happened, noticed today.
I´m using an Xperia X10 with the SE 2.1, brasilian carrier VIVO, rooted, cleaned up and "JIT"ed with Flashtool 0.2.5.
All my contacts on the phone are Google Contacts, but when i try to select a picture to use with contact, sometimes the phone give me a horizontal retangular aspect crop for the picture, and sometimes give me an almost square crop. And i can't find a pattern for this behavior yet.
Anybody know something about this?

[Q] Difference between contacts views in 2.1 vs 2.2

I am using Wolfbreak's awesome v006 rom and I noticed that when I view a contact, I can no longer scroll to the left or right to see different pages of the contact's data like I could in 2.1 roms.
I used to be able to scroll to the left or right when viewing a contact to see related information such as facebook statuses and photos associated to that contact.
Now there is just a Info label on the bottom with a white dot above it when I view contacts.
Am I missing something here or has this ability been taken out of infinite view? or did i screw up installing the rom? Or perhaps I need timescape to make that work?
Would appreciate any insight into this as the contacts view is the only thing that I have found I don't like about this rom.
Mine doesn't pan left or right as well, but i didn't install timescape. However, scrolling up/down already shows all i need to know.
I'm not sure, but wolf's rom uses a port of the Xperia Arc contacts and maybe some features were removed to prevent errors or simply that feature isn't in Arc's contacts anymore. Maybe an Arc user could answer that.
The old one (2.1) just seemed much more organized and sleeker. But maybe that involved timescape integration. I'm not sure so I guess the question still stands.
There is an apk called FriendPivotLargeUI.apk that handles that stuff in 2.1.
I dont see Facebook status in mine but I removed timescape and face recognition... I dont remember seeing it there before though either and the spot for pictures is still there after I removed face recognition... Could be mistaken though...

thanks AyDee. I wonder if there are any 2.2 roms that use FriendPivotLargeUI.apk and not InfiniteView.
InfiniteView in my opinion is ugly compared to the 2.1 contact pages.
I think it may be used in addition to but not in place of infiniteview. Not sure though...

infiniteview has been there since 1.6

[Q] Wall paper issue after Go Launcher EX

Hi All,
I just decided to try Go Launcher Ex after seeing so many good reviews on it. But as soon as I installed it, I noticed the wallpaper size changed. When I tried to reset the wallpaper, I noticed I could only crop a 4:3 square. I remember it used to be a more rectangular shape (don't know the original ratio).
Does any know of this issue and how to fix it? I really don't want to have to do a hard reset.
Mine's stock Evo3D... if that makes any difference.
Thanks!

[Q] Launcher & Wallpaper resolution not playing well

To begin with, I'm far from new to Android, just new to Samsung and the Note.
Also - I know I'm not the only one with this problem but I haven't run across a solution yet. I can take and image I want to use as a wallpaper and, on the lock screen and the Touch whiz home screen and it looks exactly like I want it to. But, since I'm one of those folks who dislikes the fact that I can't swap out apps on the TW launcher bar, I slap my own launcher on the Note to make it mine again. Unfortunately, then comes the annoying part.......
Whatever photo I put up as wallpaper looses resolution and seems to explode in size so that only about 1/4 of the original wallpaper/ photo is visible and what's left is very blurry. I know this isn't limited to just one launcher - I've tried ADW, Launcher Pro, Nemus, Go Launcher, Holo, and a few more I can't remember the names of right now. And they all give me the same problem.
So far I've changed the format of the wallpaper photo to .png or .jpeg and back again, tweaked the size and resolution of the picture, dug through XDA and a few other forums fort wisdom, and used harsh language on my Note - all to no avail. So, can anyone tell me what I'm missing or if there's any hope for me at all? I'm rooted stock 2.3.6 and would prefer, for various reasons, to stay that way for now. But, at this point I'm willing to consider options if all else fails since I'm getting quite annoyed by this.
Thanks for any help/ insight!
Use the Quickpic app to set the wallpaper.
Thanks! I'll give that a shot.

SGS3 Wallpaper won't change

All of a sudden today I can't change my wallpaper to a pic from my Gallery. Tried from stock Wallpapers still couldn't, I changed to a Live one and it worked. Tried rebooting, shutting down turning back on and still happening. Another weird thing, when I select the section of the pic and hit save, it generates a duplicate but cropped image as another file...so the wallpaper that I wanted instead becomes another cropped image. Never seen anything like this.
Wallpaper to your home or lock screen? if it's the lock screen that won't change are you probably using a launcher? if so turn off your launcher and go back to TouchWiz first then change it from there also use the default gallery viewer.
Thanks for that, I made the original Gallery default app instead of gallery3d from S2. Shame though, I don't mind using the S3 gallery except that that the sharing options are lacking. Has every option except Messaging, Email etc. The most popular choices are missing even if I choos 'More'.

[Q] Backgrounds in landscape mode issue

Hey guys! A few days ago my Xperia Tablet Z went crazy for some reason, and it isn't displayng the background properly. I don't know what the problem is, but I need some help (I attached photos, you can see them right down below this post). So the problem is everytime I set a background and crop it, it goes well, then I "okay" the cropping, and it shows only 2/3 of the background picture. Same problem with the built-in themes. The only backgrounds that work well are the live ones. I tried closing the default Xperia launcher or rebooting the tablet, but the problem seems to be staying. My last solution will be a repair with SEUS, but I don't want to go that far. Any suggestions?
Try to remember your widgets layout, then clear Xperia Home data. Maybe it will work...
