[Q] Need to crop when choosing Wallpaper. - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey, So i hate the fact that when i set my wallpaper i need to crop it. Is their a way to get around this so it can just be the original size ?

wow.. none has answered it till now?? its pretty simply man.. when that cropping box appears just touch and drag any of its corner and you can inscrease the size of the crop..
..but the aspect ratio cannot be changed..

Yeahh i know that you drag the box.... sorry i explained it wrong, i ment the aspect ratio :/

I hate that problem too even resizing on windows to 960x800 makes it look bad on the phone.. Maybe it's due to the 65k colour screen?

For lcd density yes. Launcher, no. Just download them from market. Ex: Launcher pro, adw launcher (ex), go launcher (pro), tons more.

Is the display really that dull and not sharp? I'd hope for a step up above pentile, larger size and all.

I think it's very sharp and readable, but that's coming from having used the Nexus One for almost a year and a half.

I'm have an i4 at the moment, and I can't see any pixels on that so on the SGS they are a little noticeable :/
Can anyone tell me what LCD Density actually does please?
is it effective?
Will it make text in the browser sharper?

its pretty damn sharp, and the only way your going to see pixels is if you go looking for them.

haha ^^ that made me LOL
on another note, i have tried changing the density by modifying the build.prop with root explorer, the default is set at 240 so i tried 210, made it look so much cleaner but the games have a slight issue with it tried running compatibility mode but no joy so back to 240 for now...
If you want to do it using root explorer
MAKE SURE YOU BACK UP YOUR ORIGINAL BUILD.PROP!!
1. navigate to system/build.prop and open in text editor
2. Make sure ur read write (lil button top right)
3. scroll down and look for "ro.sf.lcd_density=240"
4. change to whatever you want, i chose 210
5. save and exit and reboot

Can you remind me how please :/ I did this the other day but I can't seem to find it now :/
EDIT - Remembered ... I have already done it tho :/
In the end the display will always be WVGA and 4.3 inches so small text will never be as sharp or pixels as invisible as on an iPhone 4, ZTE blade, or other small-screen high-res device.
On the up side Samsung's choice of WVGA probably kept costs reasonable and means all software is compatible, and the screen is still flippin' gorgeous
Screen is beautiful. I'm using the above mentioned font. Can't see why anyone would complain. What r u guys trying to read?

Hey I understand, but was using a motorola atrix the last 2 weeks. And that was a poor excuse of a phone. My fiance has a iphone 4 and my naked blind eye dont see any difference. Its just me, guess I got low standards.

Hey Rahul,
You don't have to resize any images to be honest. But I usually only resize the power menu icons to 24x24 so that they're all the same size. Also the notification bar icons to the same size, 16x16 or 8x8, because otherwise some icons look huge in comparison to others.
For instance, the gps icon should be the same size as the battery icon. Do you know what I mean?
^ok....
Can you also suggest tools for resize

Sorry for the slow reply. I've been on vacation since Thursday afternoon. What ROM are you currently using?
That screenshot looks like it was from an earlier version of the minimal matte theme. I would suggest using the newest 2.0 and see if that fixes it!
If not let me know and I will check into that for you!
You are great guys, i know there are a lot of forums where you can find everything step by step but nothing can be better for newbies than a wellmade video

I was always thought that the text color is within the actual ROM itself. Let me ask Lestat if it's within the framework apk file though.

Well, that is one of those duh moments for me.
As a side note, I get the highest resolution I can and use QuickPic for my gallery, and for when I set my wallpapers. It works really well and doesn't give you some weird crop that you can get from the stock gallery sometimes
