I searched the forum and since I can't post in the dev section I am posting here. I've been using ICS passion since v7 but didn't really notice until v9, whenever I go into the camera I can't zoom in. I looked online and have seen pictures of the sliding bar to zoom but I don't see it anywhere. I also tried using the volume rocker but that only turns up my ring volume. Is this a problem on ICS passion or just me? I am uploading a couple of screen shots to show the issue, (sorry they're kinda dark but I have all the lights on in the room).

As far as I know, there is no zoom feature in ICS Passion as of v10.6. That's something I hadn't really noticed until you brought it up. The only thing I did realize is if you try and change the size of the picture, the APP FC's. Also the effects don't work.

I get the same FC if I try to change the picture size. I did notice that if you go back to the camera app it changed the size however.
Thanks guys I thought it was only me having the issue

Hello everyone, has anyone else experienced this issue?
I have a 640x480 wallpaper which looks great when viewed in album, or in my computer but when applied as a wallpaper, it loses quality.
HTC asked me if I have updated to their latest firmware, did update fix the issue for you?
I've noticed this, it seems to apply for the lock screen as well as the home wallpaper. Running the latest ROM doesn't seem to have fixed it.
Seems like the pictures don't get cropped correctly. The thing is that it happens with all the pictures, despite the fact that they are the correct resolution.
Download Wallpaper Set & Save. It will keep your wallpaper looking nice and shiny

That did the job, thanks. But the thing is that this is an issue that needs to be fixed by HTC, so that we do not need to have an extra application installed, that fixes it.
WOW!!!...I saw this thread but was convinced there was no real solution, but I was wrong!! Works amazingly well!!!
BTW, does anyone know how to get this to work with the lockscreen? Or what does it exactly do so that I can do it manually with the lockscreen pic?

First off this is not my app. I went back to the vibrant for a bit and found this. It works perfect on the MT4G so I figured I'd show it to you guys.

Pretty much it's what the 3D gallery should do. Not just sway the pictures when you move the phone but actually scroll through them.
*If you have the aosp 3D gallery installed already you'll need to uninstall it before installing this one.
Heres the original post:

Hi there,
For a school project I have modified the Gallery3D application to enable scrolling, zooming etc by using the accelerometer.
I have made a short demonstration which can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xYkblRYPcY
The mod is based on CyanogenMod-android_packages_apps_Gallery3D-a63279d.
It would be very cool to use scrolling for the selection of pictures within the album grid, so one could open/close the picture by shaking... However, the sourcecode was not so well documented and we couldn't find some functions that would help us implementing this... I must note, the source contains 50+ classes, we have only looked into a few.
For installation instruction check http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=752007
Current Functionality added
VolDown: en/disable motion (disabled by default)
Gallery:
● Scroll by tilting
● Reset to first by shaking
Image view:
● Next/Prev by tilting L/R
● Zoom in/out by tilting U/D
● Reset zoom by shaking
With some help I hope to add the following in the future:
● In grid mode: Select center image
● In grid mode: Open image by shaking
● In grid mode: Prevent scrolling out of the grid range
● In picture mode: return to album by shaking
● In picture mode: initialize zooming at current tilt angle, and zoom from there by holding an overlay button (next to the zoomin/zoomout overlay buttons)
If anyone could help me a hand with the image selection, e.g. by giving me a direction where to find functions for this, I'd be very greatfull!
I'm wondering what you think about it, your questions/remarks are very welcome

lmao i figured they desired some battery mods real quick
but for real the only thing i hate is having both of em cus of that damn screen.... the mt4g wouldnt be so bad if i had gotten rid of the vibrant but seeing them side by side makes the mt4g look like **** (which i hate to say about my baby) but its true besides that i hate the thing I would honestly never buy another samsung phone (hence why NS isnt on my sig list) I stepped away from htc once and it was the worst experience ive ever had lol
oh and on a side note I never saw you post those icons i sent you... i couldnt remember if you asked me to just send you links straight to the flashables though lol sometimes I just lost in piles of msgs
Thanks for the gallery bro! Now get on AIM fker!
Wtf I was about to say that to you ... logged in 9 days 17hrs... so now what **** talker lmao!

I dont remember ever getting the icons, I was just thinking about that yesterday. Maybe I missed the PM or something. I will have to go back and look. I was just playing with my buddies Vibrant. He just put the Froyo update on and was wondering if the lag fix would work. it is so laggy compared to the Glacier. I couldn't believe it. I didnt think his screen seemed much better than mine (good screen) and his seemed kinda color tinted. I dont watch movies or anything like that, I am sure there is a big difference there. I probably couldnt watch a movie on it anyways, that would require me not messing with it for like 2 hours and that aint happening. lol
Hey I saw you were making a zip for that guy in the other thread with the batt icons...YOU ROCK PACK!!! Thanks for everything!!!
Ha...when I posted this you had posted 420 times....I guess I know what I have to do!!
ill resend em to ya... no big deal... I always lose stuff in the ridicules number of messages i have lol
side note: lol after I saw your post I tried not to make another for a while because of that (and i dont even smoke anymore lol) just though it was funny as hell... I didn't notice until you posted that...
Thanks pack works great!!
sent with iced out mt4g built to the hilt wit the xda app
not working with CM7
if it says cannot install... you need to uninstall the original one like I said in the OP
in root explorer goto /system/app
goto gallery.apk or gallery3D.apk (cant remember what its called)
and delete it
then install this one
i installed it again in root explorer then appmonster backed it up then deleted from appmonster. then moved this apk and installed. works perfect! Thanks for the tip!

The reason for that is because it is made from the original gallery app. So when you try to install it your device thinks your installing a duplicate application and denies it.

Hello all,
Total noob here, so forgive me. I tried searching before posting, but couldn't come up with anything.
I'm using an AT&T Galaxy SII and just flashed CM7.1 last night. I noticed there is native support for screenshots by longpressing the power button. What I couldn't find is if there is a way to adjust the quality of the screenshots.
The reason I ask is that the stock screenshot app that Samsung/AT&T packaged (using Power and Home keys) took a much higher quality shot than the one built into CM7.
If there is no way to change the quality settings, is there an apk to install the stock one?
Thanks in advance.
[EDIT] Seems to be resolved. Don't know exactly what happened, but the screenshots I took came out blurry at first. Just took another one and it was fine. I did notice that the screen locked when taking the first blurry ones. Maybe it's possible it was mid-locking when it took the shot and that's why they were blurry? No idea. Please ignore me
Hi, I noticed some of the stock features built in the S3 are very laggy such as:
- On screen magnifying lens (attached screenshot) - laggy, zoomed text looks pixelated
- Contacts app starts up VERY slow, sometimes takes up to 5 seconds
- Gallery app is pretty slow also (when you first open it, either from the camera app or from the app drawer, it takes 2-3 seconds to start up each time)
- General scrolling lags for a split second quite often (eg scrolling through news feed on the facebook app, or zooming in text on a webpage then scrolling around while zoomed)
- Messaging app has a few seconds delay to start up also
I need any sort of advice, either 3rd party replacement apps or settings I can make to improve the user experience, anything at all really that will improve the issues mentioned above (Devoper-Animations have always been off).
I am currently running WanamLite ROM v6.2 (stripped even further) with another 10-15 apps such as Facebook, Whatsapp, Evernote, nothing pretty heavy. (tried different roms such as FoxHound 2.0 running 4.1.2, same issues, I also tried different ROMs based on android version 4.2 which had many other bugs, but the gallery was incredibly fast & smooth)
Many thanks.
Smart tools app has a pretty good magnifying glass built into it.

is this what you`re talking about ? because if so, I might have made myself misunderstood. I believe the magnifier glass built in the app is pretty much using the camera to zoom in then it focuses on whatever object you`re pointing the camera at.
I attached a picture as I should have done from the beginning. You can see which magnifier I`m talking about, and how pixelated the text looks.
it's just that no one wants to read your wall of text. explain your problem clearly in a couple of sentences

Hi, I have SGP311 and just upgraded to 4.2.2 and i noticed a major drop in screen resolution, it is noticeable since the boot animation, all videos played from Movies, MxPlayer and so look crappy, the stock font also looks blurry. I was wondering if anyone has the same issue?

That's not good, I won't upgrade until this is responded too (not that i can update yet, I don't have OTA ....)
Can you do a screeny if you believe that it will be evident to see?

I would but it is not that evident, it came to my attention since the first boot after de XPERIA logo, the lines look extremely blurry in comparison with 4.1.2, I'm not that demanding in terms of screen res but i can notice it even with 1080p movies i used to play looking super crisp, also on Firefox and pdf's, I've been browsing threads but found no comments regarding this..I am looking for a downgrade but I'm a noob and dont want to brick this thing, I was hoping if someone could tell me if the right way to do it is via Flashtool + FTF file with full wipe??
I upgrade to 4.2.2 and do not have this everything is the same.... I find the scrolling on mine a lot better more fluid with the tip of the thumb..... only one thing so far but I will wait to make a battery drain and recharge to be sure but I find the battery is draining faster in sleep mode (stamina) I lost 4% leaving the tab doing nothing I thing it was better before. and also be able to root the device...... I like the new camera software in Superior auto .... Wifi also improved .....
I haven't experienced this, everything looks the same, and when doing a full screen application the top status bar disappears and the bottom bar icons turn into dots (less obvious), not 100% but I think the bottom navigation bar is not as tall as when it was a combined navi bar, if that's the case more screen real estate for full screen which may be causing your movies to not look as crisp as they need to fill in more room on the screen?
I'm not sure there is, but it may be a problem with assets (icons, stock wallpapers, etc.) if they're specifically optimised for the original bottom combined navi/status bar and now they're being stretched but any other content is just displayed within the boundaries of the bars without resizing or dpi change (just less being visible)
Just downgraded
I just downgraded to 4.1.2 and it is all back to normal, Im aware that it may sound like a thing of perception since the new notification bar was added an so but I swear its not, maybe its just my xtz..the only thing i miss is the speed of 4.2.2
