Is there a place to download apk files for Sense 3.0 widgets? For some reason, after the most recent patch, my photo frame widget doesn't properly display the border on the pictures anymore. I like the way the Sense widget handles cropping images as opposed to many of the others in the market. I'd like to try reinstalling the widget if that's possible. Or, if someone else has any suggestions, I'd like to give those a shot.
Are you rooted?
I have the same problem, hate it when updates fix some things and mess up other things that worked just fine...agrivating to say the least. And I am stock 2.3.4 now, no root here yet.

Yes, I am rooted. The more I look around the more I think this is just a problem with the software update. I've tried numerous roms including the stock one and each time the photo frame displays white blocks. Hopefully this will get fixed at some point but it's hardly a big issue.
i was holding off on the update, but just ran it today. i too am having the same issue with the photo frame widget, and am not rooted. so it is most likely a software issue from htc. have you found a fix yet, or are we just gonna have to wait on htc?
I have a PhotoWidget.apk that will work if you still need it...you'll have to use Root Explorer or push it with adb

It's in the market too but it won't display pics in 3d
I hate this problem too, a workaround is to open the camera app and click the preview box in the corner. That will allow you to view the most recently taken pictures first, and when you switch to grid view it will start at the bottom.
Did you know that, when scrolling through the photos, there is a function similar to what you get in the addressbook (People)? Once you start scrolling and the little scrubber/scroll bar appears, grab it and move it manually. It'll allow you to fly through the images in a second. As you're doing so, it'll even give you a pop up of the date of the photos where you'd be if you stopped scrolling. I hope that helps.
I think the other annoying thing I've seen in every Android phone (or not seen) is the ability to choose a folder before/as you're taking photos where it will save to. On top of this I don't like the HTC photo numbering scheme (image sequence) instead of time stamp as a name. I prefer the time stamp as you don't have to worry about duplicates, repeats, or conflicting names when moving and shuffling photos from phone to phone or computer for backup.
I seem to have an issue whereby when I adjust the alignment of a 3D image to make it crisper and then click Save, the image looks fine. Then when I navigate to another image or exit the gallery the image alignment reverts back to the original and the changes aren't saved.
Does anyone else have this problem?
Some people seem to have the same issue: http://forum.pocketables.net/showthread.php?t=10163
Bump?
I've tried restarting the phone and removing the battery but the problem still persists...
Hmmm, I've noticed some changes seem to be saved but after connecting the phone to my Mac changes are lost! The file modified date does not change from the created date either...
I've found an app called 3DSteroid which can make alignment changes but surely I shouldn't really have to buy an app to do what the phone should already do!
So nobody else has this problem on here?
What are you using to adjust use alignments?
The standard Gallery app like so:
http://www.htc.com/uk/howto.aspx?id=83886&type=1&p_id=398
Wow! I didn't even know about that! That's cool. Now I can save my 3D pictures into 2D. Woohoo!
As for your question, mine remembers the settings. You think your gallery apk is corrupted? If so, I could upload mine and see if that helps.
Hehe it's a good feature to have (while it works on mine!).
Out of interest on yours does it remember the settings after you plug/unplug the phone from a computer and does it actually modify the files or does the gallery app store the alignment settings?
Thanks but I'm not rooted and I'm guessing I can't replace the app without having root access? It's something I'm looking at doing but I've only just got the phone so I'm a bit nervy about it!
From the looks of it, the gallery just remembers the new alignment. I don't think you need to be rooted to reinstall an apk file.
PM your email address to me. I'll send it to ya.
Ah thanks, I've just PM'ed you with my email. Do I just install from ASTRO like any other apk file?
Thanks!
The version you sent me was slightly newer. I clicked Upgrade but it comes up with an error 'Application not installed'.
File Version = 4.02117323218.115252
Installed Version = 4.0.2116342830.92213
Maybe I do need root access?
Well that sucks.
It's very odd... on some pics the settings seem to save (but then can revert back again at some point) and on other pics the settings don't save at all!
Oh well, thanks for your help anyway.
No prob. Hurry up and get rooted!
You guys do realize the adjustment is on a per-image basis, right? The setting isn't supposed to "stick" as a global setting because you are not adjusting the display: you are adjusting the parallax of an individual photo.
Mike
Yes we do. He's talking about how he tries to save the change, but for that file, it doesn't save the change.
And it's really weird how they revert back after a while, which leads me to believe that option has a cache limitation in the gallery, or either that his gallery is messed up.

Hi, yes I realise it is on a per-image basis. The issue I'm having is that changes do not 'stick' to the images.
I guess a hard reset could help but I'm reluctant to do that as it'll mean re-applying all my settings etc.
Root root root root!
actually you aren't stuck with this method. I have figured out a way to apply wallpapers like they're supposed to be with no loss in quality. applying through gallery or quick menu forces you to crop the picture resulting in the images you posted. check out my method.
go to marketplace and get a free app called picSpeed wallpapers. install it. it has high res. wallpapers and has its own proper way of applying wall papers. but any how go to the stock prime gallery app and choose your pic you want to apply as the wallpaper. press set as. then choose wallpaper. now, since you installed that app I mentioned, a pop up menu will show asking you which method do you want to use to apply the wallpaper. choose PicSpeed method. now it will allow you to apply the whole image without being forced to crop, having loss of quality, or looking zoomed up like crazy. Enjoy. as this method has been proven. also, only apply wallpaper through gallery app. don't do it through the quick menu where all the Widgets are at. if you do, then you will be forced to apply the wallpaper the gallery/stock method.
hit the Thanks if this solved your wallpaper woes
already use it. love it
Thank you so much for posting this. I have an Archos tablet (the 70IT) that I have fought with trying to get a decent wallpaper on, and it's impossible. I'm going to give this a try and see if it works on that too.
Thanks again!!!!!!

no problem. hopefully works cross platform also. I guess the gallery way of doing it improperly is actually a honeycomb or tablet thing.
thanx! I was using the browser, now I won't need to go look for wallpapers I can just save them internally.
Thank you very much this was very helpful
sweet... nice find. I had been using multi live wallpaper or something like that on my xoom.

I haven't seen that one yet. ill probably check it out. as I love a great looking wallpaper n hate when it gets messed up or resolution gets distorted. I'm always downloading/saving great wallpapers that showcase the great display we have. Blacks look especially beautiful on this tab. the blacks are very deep.

I'm still using it on ICS. Works perfect applying the wallpapers how they should be. Instead of stock gallery way software forcing you to crop. What exactly is the problem you having to say you can't get it to work?
It doesnt work in ICS. It doesnt properly crop the images I had to stop using it and just use the bubbles live wallpaper now for ICS.

Well, I goto the gallery, click on my image I want, goto Set picture as --> Set as wallpaper whcih is the middle option. Then it shows me the picture with 4 arrows, and a scrollable button, user original, rotate buttons and SET button.
I hit set...and it sets it as my wallpaper, but doesnt resize it. You can tell it easily distortes the entire image like it does originally without the app
THX m8 woorks great on ICS. Wallpapers in orginal size ..nice)
Wysłane z mojego Transformer Prime TF201 za pomocą Tapatalk
your best bet is to uninstall then install again. As youbcan see from poster above and me, it still works great in ICS. that's the only option I ever choose to apply my wallpapers now.
another tip also, which might be Also you're experiencing is this: if you get a wallpaper and apply it the way I said and the wallpaper is bigger than the middle box, use the one to the right instead. its custom and will stillbspply the whole image in its native quality. If the wallpaper is bigger then the middle box and you apply it like that, it will be zoomed up. If wallpaper fits box exactly, use middle one. If its larger, use the one to the right, the custom rectangle one. then hit set. works perfectly for me on ICS. try that
Does not seem to work for me as well.
For one I can only find the picspeed HD version (don't know if that matters at all).
any how go to the stock prime gallery app and choose your pic you want to apply as the wallpaper. press set as. then choose wallpaper. now, since you installed that app I mentioned, a pop up menu will show asking you which method do you want to use to apply the wallpaper. choose PicSpeed method.
From this point I have no option to select PicSpeed - only 2 other options.
Running ICS...
Quit working in ICS for me as well. I used it on HC, and know it worked then. Following the same procedures, its still zooming in. Wiped data, still no go... too bad. Drives me nuts when it is zoomed in.

thing is more than likely after you choose pic speed option to apply, your wallpaper is bigger than the middle option that's default. to the right of it is another mode, custom, that will apply the whole image. Basically if you try to apply wallpaper thru picspeed option, the middle one should cover the whole pic. if it doesn't, and pic is larger than square with arrows, then choose the next one to the right that looks like a rectangle. that will cover the whole picture then press apply. it still working fine for me.

Works perfect !!!! the simple way to do it is just to open the gallery first, crop the one you want to be like 'wide', and than, make it "set as wallpaper"...Thanks!
I'm running Shirshir's ICS ROM, but he hasn't made any changes for quite some time and I have no idea if he's supporting it any longer, so that's why I'm posting this here. The rom uses AOSP gallery and a themed mms.apk, both of which I like, but in this tweaked mms.apk Shirshir removed the ability to add pictures to a text message using the gallery, so you can only add pictures and videos that you take at the time. That is, you can't add ones already taken unless you go through the gallery app itself, and even then you can only send one at a time, you can't add multiple like you could on stock. So my question is, can anyone re-add this ability? Or point me towards how I might do it myself, as I'm very noobish?
P.S. If you happen to make one, I'd also like a switch of the attachment and send buttons in messaging while you're at it XD
Thanks for any help in advance.

Hey!
I know about this problem... I was actually going back to the old gallery to fix this and the lockscreen wallpaper problem. That's the only easy way short of decompiling and fixing the code inside the individual apps... which is useless since I plan to change my ROM to a completely new base eventually.. That's what I've been working on lol.
So, you can't really fix it and keep the stock gallery app. If you want, I can upload the original gallery for you to install, and that should fix everything.
So as we all know if you use your own images for wallpaper that the images turn out cropped and blurry. I was using Simple Image Wallpaper Free but a couple months back the application started to crash and not work prop. The app will no longer let me choose images from my gallery or SD card but instead only allows me to use images from a setup Google account which does not show all my images. When I do select an image it crashes every time.
So I'm now looking for a new app that will let me use my own images without cropping then to crap and making them look blurry as crap. I have tried Image to Wallpaper and I do not like it and it doesn't work that we'll.
Please help. I would love to make my own images for backgrounds. Thanks
QuickPic will do the job well. Its free on the play store.

Uh, no?
I've never had this issue as long as I've used an image with a suitably high resolution. Since the display resolution on the tablet is 2560x1600, I'd recommend using a source image at least that large. Preferably larger, since it will crop it a little by default to properly format it for both portrait and landscape orientations.

This is an issue and I think you need to take a look better. If you setup a 2560x1600 image for your wallpaper you will be pushed to crop the image. Now you easily make the image look clean and crisp by cropping the image to the size of the photo and it looks wonderful BUTTTTTT if you flip your tablet long ways you will see the image for the wallpaper does not cover the full screen and instead your left with a black top and bottom border cause you image doesn't fit.
Now,,,,,,,,, let's go back to choosing a wallpaper again and when we are left with the option to crop but instead we don't crop like before but instead we make sure our crop markers show horizontal and diagonal view so that the image for the wallpaper will be seen covering no matter what angle we are using the tablet,,,,,,,, well guess what?????? Now your image has been blurred and looks like crap.
I don't know how long you have had your tablet but I've had mi he since the day it was released in stores. When the tablet came out this was an issue everyone was b***hing about non stop but now one wants to help me here. I cannot even find the write ups and threads from this issue anymore. There were threads where others had the same issue but your telling me 136 stupid idiots can view my post and thread and ignore to help as if nothing is wrong or they don't care?
What a useless forum and group of people here. Thanks to the two who replied. But this is an issue that had been addressed by everyone in the beginning too. This was also an issue with the previous Note 10.1 and also the 2014 edition. Its by fault Android which makes you crop.
Again look...

Relax brother, android can be a bit of a crap shoot when it comes to stuff like this. Even on the same device, we're all running different roms/tweaks/dpi settings/etc. I can vouch that your issue affects my setup as well, but it may be different for some of the others here.
Seriously though, did quickpic work for you? If not I'll see if I can find something else that will since I can replicate the issue.

Thank you for recommending the app but unfortunately it didn't work. With images your given three options for wallpaper cropping which are photo, Google photos and Quickpic. Tried all three and same issue, it crops the images to the point your left with a blurry image.
Simple Image Wallpaper was the best and I miss having it work. No worry of cropping and worked in landscape and portrait mode.
Thanks for recommending Quickpic but still no fix.
Guess what? Good news got it working with Simple Image Wallpaper but had to download the pro version for 99 cents to get it to work. Happy again. I recommend anyone having this issue to download it. You can now choose a different image for landscape and portrait separate or keep it the same. Doesn't blur the image, doesn't crop the image and uses the whole photo. I use 2560x1600 images which is the display is and I get a 2560x1600 wallpaper.
