[Q] Cropping pictures for lock screen - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am trying to use the attached picture as my background on my lock screen. When I select it under the settings it keeps trying to have me crop it. The picture is not that big and the cropping will not let me select the whole picture. Is there anyway around this or how can I edit the picture so I do not have this problem?

i think it has to do with the physical aspects of the picture. Because its square rather than rectangular, it may always want to crop it even though it could fit.
I suggest you use a paint shop program on your computer to make a rectangular black backround and then attach this image to that. Finally save the new image with the background as it is, and then try cropping that.
If you dont know how to do that, send me the picture as an attachment or somehow to download it and i will try it for you.

I have answered this before so I'll answer again. First, take a screenshot of that picture then go to where it was saved and use the screenshot picture as your background. It will be fullscreen with no cropping.

true! didnt think of that! that is much faster!

cm9

hi in was thinking about installing cm9 but it looks complicated with linux etc. is there a place ai can go to see the difference between cm9 and cm7 and why its so much better? also im sure that i saw a video of a girl showing off the rom she made for the nook tablet but i cant find individual roms in the development section. do i just need glasses?
Rom
There are also a few experimental roms out, but I won't be adding them to that thread until they are stable. You can find their threads in development though (grab a pair of glasses) if you want to try them.
I've commented on the pros and cons of cm7 and cm9 a few times. Search around and you'll see.

In CM9? You can go to Settings > Accessibility and toggle Large Text to make menu text bigger. That might help a bit.

[Q] Theme of SIII

Hi,
One of my colleagues has purchased a new S III and the only thing he's not happy about it is the white text over black background on certain screens (specially the Email app)
Is there a quick and easy way of having black text over white background on email app (and others) ?
thx.
No, you need to either download an alternative application, or root your phone and install an inverted version :/
I don't mean to patronize or anything , but someone with 10+ thanks should be able to go figure this one out by himself / herself ..
There is a whole sub-forum of themes
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1567
If there are any other-way without theme-ing you ask ? ... well yes, you can do that too ! =) use 10 mins of your own time and you will almost certainly!! figure it out
I dare ya .. actully i DOUBBLE dare ya "!!one1

Have him use mail.google.com in desktop mode ... dowhatever you\he wants is 1 option ... inverted colors with intelligent app launch on gmail app ?
I prefer the black backgrounds and white text actually. Easier on the eyes AND the battery.

thank you. I have lots of experience with Android platforms but I really never wanted to change any theme of any of my devices.
This is just a colleague's request and I found it easier to ask ratherthan try to invent wheel from scratch.
what do you mean by inverted colors with intelligent app launch ?
hi,
I'm searching but no results;

A Great Modification Of AOSP Camera

Here you go guys, an awesome modification of AOSP Camera made by me.
What's the difference:
In-App UI themed to look like Google Camera
CameraNext icon
What was it originally:
Moto Camera2
So try it out, it is currently in beta so I don't suggest flashing or pushing it into system folder yet.
Just install it like a normal APK (for now)
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8cp6uk2EIfnUlB4bHBYSk1Oanc/view?usp=drivesdk
Also it would not replace any system file so don't be afraid:silly:

I will try it on cm14.1

I found out. In cm14.1 camera app. If the power button to take photos option is enabled, then this bug occurs. That option is called as power shutter

Noticed both of you are seriously complaining and complimenting the app.
But the final stable version has been made by me.
In-App UI themed to look like Google Camera from Pixel.
Custom green icon from latest CameraNextMod
What was it earlier:
OnePlus One Oxygen OS Camera
Here is the apk:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8cp6uk2EIfnUnhlOWhBLWtfdE0/view?usp=drivesdk
( Not sure if it works on Nougat though,you can try:laugh: )
Hit Thanks if this helped you.

I install it, and HDR, HD and the flash works fine, video its fine, but the slow motion, time lapse and panorama doesn't work, they don't record anything and in panorama when I start it says that I gotta move the device, but the camera doesn't detect I'm moving.
The first apk works better for me, and it has different functions so I'm staying with that one.

Hey giancarlo0071,
I have noticed that you are very interested in this project and my first app took a week to build.
Now I have an experimental version of a camera.
What's the difference:
A Customized UI made for me.
A Customized icon made for me.
What it was earlier:
HTC Camera Sense 8
So here is the file, and also tell me what you think about it.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8cp6uk2EIfnRGtEMjVNaXBxZ1E/view?usp=drivesdk
And remember, it is highly experimental ( and I mean very highly experimental ) . So please expect bugs. If you don't experience any bugs I will mark it as stable.

Does the P Smart+ have a notification LED?

For me there are three things that i want from a Phone:
A good Camera, a notification LED (because my Phone is always on silentmode) and a price lower than 330 dollars.
This looks like an unresolvable Task
and i also want the possibillity to disable digital balance ?
Thanks for Your Support!
Yes, it is on the bottom of the phone near the usb port
Yes, there is. But it's small. If that's not enough tho, there's a bunch of 3RD party apps which do the led thing when theres a call or notification.
Help pleas
I have a phone huawei p smart 2019 and I can not install a call recorder. I ask for help if you can write me an explanation of how to do everything and set me up for the characters. Thank you very much in advance

It does but it's completely useless, way too dim to be noticeable, in the process of choosing an app myself that does something with the camera flash or similar.
