I have one of the WOOT tablets. I had problems with the apps which needed log in information loaded before accessing the internet so I used the factory reset. This seems to help with that problem but the background now has a beach. I tied the ClockworkMod back up restore found in another thread but I couldn't get it to load on mine. I looked at the properties and it shows that this is still the same "version" that I had originally (3588). It seems to be working now but I was wondering if anyone knows how to get the water and leaves background image back? I can reload all of the apps.

If you are talking about the Live Wallpaper (which i think you are), if you long press on the home screen, choose wallpaper, then Live Wallpaper, it should be in there.
My favorite is the Blades of Grass live wallpaper, but the Autumn Leaves are nice also.
Thank you. I didn't think it was stock.
+1
Thought this one had been overwritten with the OTA update. Thanks!
Here's another question along similar lines-
is there a way to get these stock live wallpapers, AFTER one has flashed a new ROM such as VegaN?
I like some of the ones from VegaN, but that pond effect was kind of cool, it would be nice to put that one back.
Thanks.

I'm still very new to android but I wanted to know if anyone is experiencing this same problem. whenever i swipe left/right at home to back/forth between diff. desktops, the contacts and call button do not go away. It's particularly annoying... Has anyone else had to experience this? is it a general android problem? Is there a fix for it?
I have attached a screenshot. Look at the bottom how they are overlapping.
Are you sure they're not part of your wall paper?

looks to me as tho you've installed launcher pro, and havent set it as the default home launcher, what u can do is download an app such as Home Switcher, and choose launcher pro as the default launcher for the phone, this should get rid of the default Blue launcher which is what you are seeing in the background
i installed launcher pro before and then restored the phone to factory settings because it happened a few days ago... so after that, i decided to stay away from launcher pro because i figured it might have had some bugs since the Atrix is brand new, blah blah blah.. Well, without touching launcher pro, it just happened again earlier today... I didn't install anything either. I might have unplugged the phone or something but other than that i have not installed any new apps today... I cannot remove it through the apps and it's not a part of the background... What can I do to fix this? There has to be some easier way than reseting to factory everytime? anyone else have any ideas? am i the only one experiencing this so far?
I still get the same problem... I find that when I go into the running application 'Home' and click clear data, the problem is solved. My icons and all my desktops are also cleared... Is there some sort of config file I could edit instead of losing my icons everytime this bug occurs? I also don't have launcher pro or any other launcher app installed atm.
i'd do another factory restore if not take it back to ATT if u bought it from them.
were you rooted before, and did you install the custom rom?
Both times it happened, I was rooted. I never installed the custom rom. I'm still trying to look into what's going on and see if I can find a config file that I can edit to change it.
Same problem with my new ATRIX
Hey everyone, I just bought the Atrix last week and had problems with it freezing right out of the box. The next day I noticed that the direction arrows that pop up when switching screens would pop up and overlap my call and contact buttons instead of them dissapearing just like he said. So I went and got it replaced yesterday and all last night and all today my phone was working flawlessly and I was very impressed and thought I must of had a dud until just now my phone froze while playing a game. GRRR not this again So I was forced to take out the battery to restart it and then I scrolled over to the next screen and the stupid arrows were overlapping the call and contact button again I think this must be a common problem. Two phones in a row this has happened. This is kind of pissing me off. Surely more than just the two of us must have this problem? And no I haven't done any of the things you guys said could have caused the problem. The first time it happened I hadn't downloaded anything other than facebook or ebuddy.
I was super excited for the atrix but now am wondering if I should have got something else.
So it turns out that it may have been a program called mixzing music player thatwas causing the problem. After having some problems with the app I removed it and reset my phone and the problem has resolved itself. If anyone with the same problem has mixzing on their phone I strongly recommend using something like winamp instead. My phone works great now and Bell finally released an update today aswell
Hey everyone, thought I'd post up a couple problems I've had since I got the tablet. Totally new to the whole android thing so bear with me if I am clueless.
I've read through every posting and haven't seen anyone describing the symptoms I'm experiencing. I'll describe symptoms, then steps that I've taken in hopes of answering all questions ahead of time.
First off, I saw the various wallpapers that were posted and followed the directions to use Wallpaper Wizardrii in order to make them work correctly. Initially the pictures take well and work however, after some time the image cuts off on the right 1/3ish of the screen. I also set the image to "exact" to see what would happen and after a bit of time the complete image moved all the way to the left of the screen - obviously in this case nothing got cutoff but it still moved.
*I've not been able to replicate this by doing anything in particular.
*I uninstalled and reinstalled Wallpaper Wizardrii thinking maybe something got f'd with the install. This had no effect.
*I've messed with locking the tablet in both horizontal and vertical orientation and this has had no effect either.
*If the wallpaper is at the point where it is "cut," (for lack of a better word) then switching to any other wallpapers (including the ones that came with the tablet) are also cut.
*If I open wallpaper wizardrii again and reset the image, the cut goes away and everything is back to normal.
*I've currently reset everything to an image that came with the tablet and uninstalled wizardrii. I'm not sure if that will resolve the issue but as yet it hasn't gotten screwed up. My friend who showed me his tablet and ultimately was responsible for my buying one has not had any of these problems using the same settings. Wizardrii settings were 100% compression and full screen image.
The other MAJOR problem that I just discovered relates to using Adobe Acrobat as a PDF reader. My primary reason for getting this tablet is for work. I plan on creating electronic records of all the journal articles I recieve. I've run out of physical real estate to keep these articles at home and I don't know where else to put them. The same for books. I was able to transfer some files to the tablet just today using windows explorer (couldn't get Kies to work) and several PDF's work fine and look great, but this particular one locked up the system and somehow restarted it. Can someone try it on their tablet and see if you have problems? Actually the file is too large to upload to the forum for me to post although it's less than 900k. Would anyone be willing to let me email it to them? It is called the Discordant Eardrum and is written by Fay and Puria through Stanford's depart of Otolaryngology/Head and Neck Surgery and Mechanical Engineering.
My tablet has been rooted - don't even know what that means in reality. My friend did it for me to get rid of advertisements. That is the only thing that has been done.
I appreciate any help in resolving these issues.

Hi
I had exactly the same problem with the wallpapers. To fix this I've removed the Wizardrii and found the wallpaper i wanted in a higher resolution.
For PDF viewing try using ezPDF Reader - the best software ever -) i'm using it to view big PDF files like 1000-1500 pages. Size wise i was able to view 100-120MB files with no problems.
Use Aldiko premium book reader to view DRM PDF files. works really good.
cheers.
Im experiencing the same wallpaper problem with my tablet, and not sure how to fix it. I'm running stock 3.1 and sometimes the homescreen gets so laggy I have to restart it, and some of that lagging is because of honeycomb horrible wallpaper options.
First off, I feel bad that with how much I have learned from the wonderful users of XDA my first post will not contribute back in that same manner.
I work at a certain wireless retailer and was excited to know that the Galaxy S II was going to be in stock which coincided nicely with an available upgrade. On Tuesday I purchased one and did the normal new Android phone process. Unbox, heed AT&T's warning to not text and drive, insert battery, etc. When it reached the home screen everything looked like an Android phone on first boot except the wallpaper. It was an Android on a skateboard encircled by an arrow made to appear to be painted on a brick wall. The same wallpaper I used on my backflip running a ROM posted by J-Rod. I will point out we have nothad any returns.
I showed it to the rep that was ringing me out and my GF who was with, then removed the wallpaper and set a default background. When I went to change it back the CM based wallpaper was not an option and no where to be found using (limited?) default file explorer.
I have not had time to look further due to school but was wondering if anyone had this happen to them (Nothing turned up with Google and XDA's search). Or know if that logo/wallpaper is not related to CM and I should just ignore the fact that it was on my phone? I started watching unboxing videos and only ever saw a SGS2 with a blue background.
I just do not like thinking that someone messed with the phone before it was even sold. Though I do like the phone and will be a nice change from the iPhone 4 that was my daily driver for the past year.
Your wallpaper was saved to your google account, and when you signed in with it in the initial setup it loaded your wallpaper.

Lol.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
lol, I never even thought of that. Thanks for clearing it up!
I rooted my EVO 3d. I used the HTC unlock and TWP. I can load roms at will. I have now tried 3 different ones (viper, Miui, Synergy) and keep getting the same problem. When i open an app the screen size is all wrong. Usually the right side of the screen can be overlapped or a black bar (about half an inch) is there. I guess i could live with the smaller screen, but it also throws the touch off. If i go to click a button in the app, i have to aim above or beside where i really want to aim.
At first i thought it was the first rom i tried, but i reloaded it. no luck. So now I've tried all sorts of versions of Factory resets, wiping cache, wiping dalvik and installed 2 more roms. All of them give me the same result.
At this point I have to assume there's a setting off? or something still on the SDcard that is holding some setting? Or is this a known issue with EVO 3d rooting? I find that hard to believe or no one would be rooting as it pretty much makes apps unusable. Normal things like Facebook I think are okay, but any app I buy and load seems off.
When the apps start up, if there's a video clip or a logo splash screen, i'm fine. Once it goes into the actual app, I lose my size.
At this point I'm about to unroot and go back to Sprint factory setup, but I like the Miui Rom I have on there now and would prefer to keep it if i can fix my problem.
Sorry if this is a doulbe post, i've spent days googling this, trying to fix it myself, going through every app on my phone looking for a setting doing this and at this point I need someone's expert advice.
Thanks!
all apps or just one in particular? because some apps still arent formatted for qHD displays
Every one I've tested so far. Ones that were fine prior to rooting.
Try downloading Spareparts and uncheck compatibility mode.
Anyone else have this issue? Occasionally I'll unlock my Nexus 5 and the current theme will have many of the icons and widgets showing letters or numbers instead of the proper icon anymore.
For example, the phone icon may be the number 4 instead of a phone icon.
The only way I've found to get things back to normal is to download a new theme and install it, delete the old one I was using, and every other one I already had downloaded.
Any idea as to the cause? It is kind of annoying and I've now lost out on some great themes and customizations to current themes (themes that are now missing from themer, adjustments to broken themes).
well had many problems here but unfortnately not that one,are you running latest version ? also if you upgraded current version instead of just an install of the latest version,try to remove everything connected with themer,ie uninstall then physically go into your device storage and delete the mycolorscreen folder (remember to back up what you need to keep first though ie exported themes) then reboot device and reinstall from market,this should hopefully sort it out.If not report back and we will have another go unless someone else had this problem and found a solution
Yeah, i'm in the current version, and I had to do a full uninstall and delete then reinstall when it came out as it kept crashing. THis has been happening now and then for months though.
My wife has had the same issue a few times on her Note 2, so I know it isn't just me. I'm still trying to figure it out. Perhaps I'll start a log of what I do on my phone and then see what last was done before it happens, in case it is my fault.

Hi,
Are you running any 'cleaner' apps? These apps think the Zooper Widget fonts folder is malware, and deletes it. As the icons are fonts, they revert back to the original default font. Unfortunately the only way to fix it would be to reapply the theme or ever reinstall Themer, unless there's a way to whitelist a folder within the cleaner app.
I think you guys hit the nail right on the head. I use clean master, and so is my wife. I went in and checked in the cleaner settings and it was cleaning the zooper.
Unchecked it, Ran cleaning again and the problem is gone away. That's quite awesome.
