my wallpaper does not scroll when i scrolll the screen. is it normal with every samsung note? because i used to see wall paper scroll when i first used it.
With the stock ROM mine has never scrolled. I can use other launchers and get it to scroll.

I upgraded to Froyo yesterday and was sad to see that the native wallpaper selector for the streak was gone. You now have to crop your image and lose some of it in landscape mode. I happen to fool around with a couple of apps and have found a solution. You need to have ADW Launcher and WallSwitch, both available in the market for free. In ADW Launcher you can choose how the screen display is used. Check the function to disable wallpaper scrolling between screens, this will keep the image centered when you scroll left or right. That's pretty much it for that app. Next, in WallSwitch, make sure your settings are set to auto for Processing Method. That's it!! You can choose to have your wallpapers change automatically, and at different intervals if you like, just an added bonus if you like to have something different displayed frequently, or just turn off auto-switch to keep the same image all of the time.
oh! I almost forgot... very important... in order for your image to show up full screen with these settings, you need to have your image file resolution set at 800x378. I know it sounds weird, but after much fiddling, I have found that it is the perfect size so the app will auto crop and make the image full screen.
Hope this is of help to anyone who would like to try it.
actually 960X800 is the size I use and it fits perfectly....

How are you getting it to go full screen using the stock selector? I can only select a portion of the picture?
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
I think I've figured this out, the stock selector selects images that are 960x800 (well of that ratio anyways) but when in landscape mode, you only see the top half of the image, thats because the stock selector is catering for both landscape and portrait, so if you turn your phone to portrait mode, then you'll see the whole picture (plus swiping to the sides).
While it is in landscape mode, it is only displaying an image that is 960x480 (if using an image that is 960x800), so if you create a wallpaper that is 960x800, but then have the main image of what you want in the top of the image that is about 960x480, then when on the phone, you select the whole image, you have the main part of the image appear in full in landscape mode.
Example, see the image attached, the area in the box and above the coloured line is what will appear on the phone in landscape mode....however when you turn it in portrait mode, for this picture, you have a white strip across the bottom. Hope this helps people.
The question is, is there anyway of getting the UI to show the bottom half of the image instead of the top? (Using Launcher Pro Plus)
I have more decent images with something that is along the bottom that I do that is along the top if you know what I mean.
Thought I'd Share
Thought I'd share my current wallpaper, managed to find these two images that has most detail along the top half of the image (bar the Aston, I had to mod it slightly ). Again, these are 960x800 images but I've made sure that the main part of the image is within the 960x480 of the image. Oh and for some reason, when the phone is locked or in the clock dock mode, the wallpaper shifts to the middle of the image too, proper weird!
Download JustPictures app from the market, it lets you set the wallpaper without any cropping, i am official froyo and its working perfect and so far I am able to set any picture as my full screen wallpaper, hope that helps....

Just tried this app and I'm still stuck with the square crop box, is there anything in particular you are doing to change this? I find the picture I want, press the menu button, then choose "use picture as..." then "set as wallpaper" and then I have a crop box appear.

Getting the same thing, it still crops it.
Very nice download! Thanks for sharing!
I've had the G-tab for two weeks and always use something for a while before I ask questions. It looks like at least one of the questions, icon spacing is answered elsewhere but since I am going to as a few questions I'll still include it here.
I'm using TNT-L 4.4 but guessing most of these are universal to Android.
1. The G-tab does lock after a while and I just slide the lock up and it unlocks but is there a place to tell it you want a password. Also when it boots up I'd like a password on it.
2. I know it does multi-tasking but when I am in certain apps, browser and others, I have to either back out of it, or hit the home and when I go back the app starts over again. I thought you could just slide from screen to screen.
3. On the home screen when I put icons on the home screen only four across and and three high. Should be able to get at least 6 or 7 wide and 4 or 5 high. What's up with that?? Can you set icon spacing on the home screen?
4. A lot of devices you can have information displayed when it is locked like your name/phone number in case it is lost/found they know who's it is. Anything to do that?
5. I've seen a number of posts about screen protectors and most are related to fingerprints. I'm mostly wanting to get rid of glare. What is the best Anti-glare screen protector?
6. Where can I get free chocolate? Always a good question.
Thanks.
p.s. This is a great resource!

TNT-L is based off the stock ROM, I do not believe setting a lock-screen code is available. Other ROMs may/may not offer this choice. CM7 and those built from the CM7 base do.
2. I know it does multi-tasking but when I am in certain apps, browser and others, I have to either back out of it, or hit the home and when I go back the app starts over again. I thought you could just slide from screen to screen.

No, no sliding from screen to screen as apps are designed to be inclusive to their own layout. Hold HOME to switch between apps. Don't press it, hold it....a screen will pop up with the last few used apps. Selecting it will take you right back to where you were in the app.
3. On the home screen when I put icons on the home screen only four across and and three high. Should be able to get at least 6 or 7 wide and 4 or 5 high. What's up with that?? Can you set icon spacing on the home screen?

Not with the stock one. Launcher Pro, ADWLauncher, VTLLauncher will allow you to increase the columns and rows. I use an 8x8 grid that fits nicely without chopping off the text of the icons.

Yes, though off the top of my head I don't recall. Plenty of app/widgets that will overlay/use on top of the lockscreen.

No answer for you there...I hate screen protectors.

Thanks for the info, more than I knew to start even thought you didn't have all the answers

This ought to be in the "Android Navigation 101" thread...it has been driving me nuts trying to figure it out. Thank you...
Regarding screen lock in TNT
I'm not sure if this will work in 4.4. I switched to Vegan a while back to get EAP functionality, so I haven't had to check. However, I did figure out how to do this a while back on TNTLite 5. It requires Launcher Pro (or a launcher with similar functionality).

Next question for a simp
What is the easiest way to get into the Sound applet without having to navigate through the settings menu? The volume control only brings up the Media Playing volume levels, and I'd like to be able to get into the Master and Notifications volumes quickly as well.
EDIT: set up a custom shortcut which gets to the general Sound Settings, but would still like a way to get directly to the volume applet.
It works in TNTL 4.4.0.
I just followed the instruction and was amazed.
Thank you!
Is anyone else having a issue with the screen resizing after you open it. Mine opens up normal and after a second is resizes real small and I can not get it right in landscape mode.
Yea but on miui I went larger (max) and it did become ok. I do see it downsize as the page loads . It does seem different .
So crazy what did I do this is driving me crazy. Xda looks normal fuulscreen and resizes real small right after a second or two.
Make this a HUGE protest thread?
I just don't know what happened. It is only this web page. It opens fine full screen then as soon as I touch it the screen goes to mini font I have to stretch the screen but is no longer full view?
Same here but I double tap to zoom.
Nevermind you would have to see it. When I double tap it goes way to close. When I look at it as normal it is way to small. But it does the normal view for a second or two before it goes small. When I double tap I can not even read a whole thread. Weird as hell.
Did a sbf and reloaded nano back up and it is back to normal.
Really.
And you were which rom and browser?
Please

Cm7 and stock browser from cm7.
I did that in my ATT s2. However, i forgot how to. Can someone remind me this?
Right now the screen move left and right when swipping. Would like it locks in place.
Thanks
Looked to me like you could hit the menu button while at the home screen, select edit, and then drag the unused pages down to Remove...

I did remove all the empty screens. However the one page screen still moving itself a bit to left or right. How to completely lock? I think only scrolling wallpaper in TW in inter Note or ATT S2 can do it. Not our Note
I removed all home screen pages on my S2 as you can see in the pic. The problem is, how do i get rid of the one white dot in the bottom of my home screen? It ruins my backgrounds and just irritates me.
Just stick a small piece of black insulation tape over it, or paint it with a permanent marker.
Now seriously i think it's not possible without modding.

Well that's an easy one. Just replace your launcher for something like Apex launcher (my fave). Search the play store for it and you won't look back because you can customise all those sorts of details
