Thanks guy its gre8
how can i get these images from phone? where are they in the system?
Would also like to know how to add images to the wallpaper gallery.
Ever since installing ICS it now only lets me crop my damn images resulting in part of the image, seeing as I can only expand the orange square so far
Tried it with both the old & new galleries as well, guessing its an ICS issue as it happens on my tablet too (also on ICS)
If it doesn't expand to the full size, it means the downloaded picture is larger than 960x800 which is the scrollable resolution. Try opening the file in Paint or Photoshop and adjusting the resolution.

If downloaded from a browser, they should be in App drawer > My files > Download. Otherwise if you're using a wallpaper app, check it's corresponding folder in My Files. Hope that helps.

Searched through a couple of threads on getting the wallpapers to show up properly but wasn't able to find a definite solution and after spending a couple hours trying to figure it out here it is:
This will allow the wallpaper to span all 5 screens of ADW launcher (or any other launcher I would imagine) without pixelating or distorting.
Create a background that is 1200x1024 and in PNG format (I used PNG 24bit since that is what the stock wallpapers are at) and put the picture in the My Files\Wallpapers folder on your device memory.
Go to the Nook settings>Home>Set Wallpaper and select the wallpaper you want to use form the "Wallpaper" tab and not the "Photo Gallery" tab.
After applying the wallpaper go back to the home screen and you will have a nice clean background that spans all screens and isn't distorted.
This was starting to annoy me enough to post about a possible solution. I will do this as soon as I get off work.
Thanks!

No problem. That's about how I was feeling until I finally figured this trick out

I found this in another thread: you can also get a market app called Wallpaper Set and Save. It also sets your wallpaper of choice in the proper resolution.

I tried the Wallpaper Set and Save app but found that it still enlarged the image and cut off the top and bottom somewhat.
resizing them to 1200x1024 and saving them in .png did the trick
although this one is not 1200x1024 (the original isnt either) here's a default wallpaper for contrarians

The default wallpapers are 840x1024, but they aren't big enough to fill the multiple screens of ADW
What I did was turn the nook horizontally and set the wallpaper. Make sure you don't turn it over until the wallpaper is set. Once the wallpaper is set you can turn it back vertically and it should come out ok. This was the only way I could get the wallpaper to not be zoomed in.

Yeah, it does cut it off some, but not a big deal to me... the resolution is great, and it doesn't require photo resizing on a desktop. Depends how particular each person is about getting every inch of the image (I'd imagine this app would suffice for many).
I use Flikie Wallpapers HD which is free in the app store. Has many different types of wallpaper and they fit the screen perfectly regardless of if you're using one screen or seven screens.
Flickie wallpaper HD worked perfectly for me. I have been looking for an app like this. Thanks!
I got another solution.
But this only work with one wallpaper.
go to system/framework/
Look for framework_res.apk
Then use 7z to edit it.
Replace the default_wallpaper.png you'll get a better quality wallpaper.

Your not missing anything my friend. You are using a different OS than the OP. He sounds like he's still running stock, where as you have CM7. There are no "Nook Settings" in CM7.
Thanks - That's what I thought , then I guess I am stuck with malfunctioning wallpapers on my CM7

hi everyone. i'm having an issue which i'm sure you all will be able to help me out. i've looked through the wallpaper collection that many of the users have and i right click the image and "save image as" and save it to the desktop. then i connect my vibrant via usb. where should i be putting the wallpapers to get the right look? if i put them in my gallery, when i try to apply the wallpaper it makes me use the crop function then after applying the wallpaper, it's all blurry and out of focus. could someone please help me out?
thanks.
Is the wallpaper proper size?
Cropping a LARGE picture WILL make it blurry.
Just use your computer.
Use paint, a free program on your Windows PC.
Crop it to the area you want, Idk the EXACT dimensions of the wallpaper (someone wanna help me on this?) but crop the about right amount, and put it on your phone.
That should help.
Or maybe the picture is a bad format? (probably not)
You can make a folder call it wallpapers in the int-sd card, and put in there. if you size them first you usually do not run into the cropping problem. Also there are easy apps from the market that do this automatically, so you could use those as well. One of the error that easy to make is thinking that the home screen is the size if you are using 3 or 5 screens then it is 3 or 5 wide by 1 tall, just in case you had not thought about that.
ok, cool. i will try both ideas. i could be mistaken, but i think the correct size for the vibrant wallpaper is 400x800...could someone verify please?
thanks.

You're correct.
ok. i tried both ideas and i'm STILL having issues with the wallpaper. i used GIMP to resize the images to 400x800 and created a folder on my sd card and named it "wallpapers", but when i go to apply the wallpaper, it makes me use the crop feature and after applying it, it's too big, blurry and out of focus and really starting to piss me off. the same thing happens if i try to use one of my pictures from my gallery as a wallpaper. can someone please help me before i lose the rest of my mind?
thanks all.
It's 480x900 I believe.
Just use the app wallpaper set and save.
Not sure why your having an issue using gallery though, works fine for me using the crop tool zoomed all the way out.
It's actually 960 X 800.
Both those sizes are obviously bigger than 400x800 so they wouldn't fix the croping problem.

You know that box that appears on the picture, when you select using it as a wallpaper, is adjustable right?

yes. it is adjustable. that's the cropping tool. (if we are talking about the same "box") i tried using a couple of wallpaper programs from the market and it looks a little better, but not as good as the pre-installed ones.

Where on the android filesystem is the lockscreen wallpaper stored?
Is it different from version to version of the Android?
Or maybe it is launcher specific?
I couldn't find any mentioned of it in the SDK.
I'm not just looking for the way of setting the lock screen WP via menu, which has mandatory cropping in new TW anyways.

On launcher2.apk under /system/app/. Copy it to the PC and use 7zip to extract launcher2. I don't have my personal PC, else I would have given you the exact folder name.

Interesting, so whenever use changes lock wallpaper it get's repackaged in to that APK?
I've examined the above mentioned APK and although it contains a bunch of wallpaper images none of them is a lock screen one. Which makes sense, why the APK will have current lock screen repackaged in to it. Just doesn't make sense.
So the currently set lockscreen wallpaper must be saved either on the file system or in the launcher DB.
Any ideas where it is?

This is killing me. I've spent a couple hours now looking for the frickin' location of my lockscreen wallpaper, and was super excited to find this, the only post on the internets with a path to the file rather than a path to the default system wallpapers or some other answer to a question similar to the one asked (where's my current lockscreen wallpaper stored?), but this path isn't on my galaxy s2.
Anyone have any idea where it might be? It HAS to be somewhere, right? I mean, it's being loaded when I turn on the phone, so even though the original that I used to set it is gone, it has to be cached somewhere.

I seem to be missing the stock photo editor icon and the ability to use it. On my phone I cannot locate the icon. However, when I go into setting, applications, manage applications, all, the icon is there. When I click on it, it is basically blacked out from me doing anything. See photo. I am rooted on stock ROM, but it was never there for my use. Any idea what is up? If for some reason I cannot use the application, can I re-install it? Is there a better application you recommend for simple photo editing?
when you select a photo in the gallery then select more and select edit you will then be using photo editor,for some reason it's not in the app drawer though.
On my Galaxy S2 it was in the application drawer. Just wanted to be sure I wasn't missing something.

Missing apps?
I was editing a photo, then had to look at something else on the phone and moved from the editor display. It doesn't show holding home as last used app.
Can you continue editing/reedit a photo once saved?
Also it seems we are missing the video editor. I looked at a few video reviews, it seem the international note has these icons in the app drawer, but we don't..

I just figured out today that the att version does not have all of this great software we have been led to believe it does. I still love the phone but I'm a little pissed about it and I am looking for ways to strike back.
When you've on a photo, click menu> share>photo editor.
Took me a while to figure it out. Sometimes it doesn't show when you're looking at a photo from the gallery, but when you click the view finder from the camera, it works all the time.

If you saved it, then it created a copy of the edited photo on your SD Card and you can get to it through the Gallery. It would have created a folder called PhotoEditor or Edited or something.

Thanks, I knew about that one. But what if I haven't saved yet and it's still being edited but I hit the home button or answered a call during the edit? How do I get back to the current picture?
What I did was snap the same picture again to edit, it then took me back to the one I was editing, saved it and replaced it with the new snap. But I couldn't normally get back to the app and I could not continue editing the one I was already working on... lol... sigh
You know you hold home key and it lists the last apps, multi task to switch back? It doesn't show photo editor, but you can go into the task manager and it shows it's running, but you can't click/touch to bring it up.
Gotcha...I have no idea then. Sorry I can't help you more.
