Hey XDA, wallpaper won't set correctly for me across different ROMS with Apex Launcher. I tried Wallpaper Wizard, QuickPic, Wallpaper Setter, Wallpaper Set and Save, Image 2 Wallpaper, etc many more and its frustrating.
Wallpapers are 1600x1280(correct height, height is what's cut)
Here's an example of what happens across all apps I try it with, quickpic here:
Wallpaper is:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Cropping like so:
But wallpaper is cut off on top and bottom
ok so i just noticed that it is ok on portrait but the above screenshots are landscape. is there a particular different resolution for landscape that i should use?

In landscape your height is 800
Here's an idea -- try SuperWall Lite -- it's a live wallpaper that you can set different images for portrait/landscape. Re-size a copy of the girls so the height is 800, then you can have the best of both!

Makes sense, thanks.
Running latest f5 from fj with nova prime. Set using quickpic.
Only crops heads in landscape. Like other guy said, different height so logical it would crop some off.

I already notice, that if I'm trying to use a static wallpaper, the launcher cut it in two....
I'm using multi picture livewallpaper and all is on my xoom installed.
Had some one the same problem?

Hi everyone,
Anyone else think the icons on the screen are too far apart?
Do any of the ROMs/MODs address this problem/issue?
Use LauncherPro, you can set how many apps/icons you have by the column and by the row. I think ADW does this as well..
Edit: I have mine set to 8 rows & 5 columns, no labels.

Move icons closer together!
Seriously...........I use ADW EX............have columns set to 5 and rows set to 7. You can also scale your icons and icon text with ADW.
Image below will illustrate the distance between icons. I have found if I tighten up the grid anymore, especially in columns, they get too close together.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Sick wallpaper! Will you share?
use Go Launcher EX, it's free and has most of the features of LP+ (widget resizing being the biggest)
Regina Launcher also does the trick, plus it has a nice 3D look

EDIT**
found the file:
just not good quality when applied to my phone, is there a way to fix the resolution? Im not good with photo editing
How picky are you about how it looks? I can't do anything about the original, but 5 mins in photoshop should produce a very close replica.

that would be sweet
Edit: Ok, here is the 800x480 version of the picture. The caveat is that I can not get it to display properly on my phone. Under the select wallpaper screen it fits perfectly, but then it shows up funky when you look at the actual home screen.
Edit 2: Use this version, but do not crop out the black. For some reason it is only displaying 1/2 of the image, so by adding extra it displays the whole wallpaper cleanly.
Edit 3: If you need a scrollable version let me know.

THANKS! now if only i could get the icons, your the best!
In the main Android forum there is a massive thread full of icon sets. I suggest looking there. You probably won't find something identical, but you may find something similar.
In this thread we can share our wallpapers and where we get our wallpapers.
Here are some of mine

Nice ones. I'm going to use some of those. Thank you.
Just checked out wallbase on my Nook and got a few good ones just scanning the site's home page. The site was also mobile friendly, so thanks dude. I got all my Nook's wallpapers from your link in the TransformerBread theme thread, so I would simply recommend others go check that thread out.

Be careful with huge wallpapers on wallbase. If the resolution is too high, they'll lock up your NC. Don't know what the limit is.

Yeah, I never really try to get anything bigger than 1024x768 since that's the resolution of the Nook and the Touchpad, great thing about wallbase is they usually have multiple sizes for each wallpaper.
You also don't want your wallpapers to be too big because that's just all the more memory(RAM) that they'll eat up while being applied...
setting the wallpapers with the Gallery, and they all come out looking pixelated and not HD. Any secrets to get the wallpapers to set right?
I'm downloading them at 1024x768, and have Cm7.1 set to 160 dpi.
Here's a screen shot:

Thanks,

I personally use and recommend MultiPicture Live Wallpaper to set and manage your walls or I imagine you could use a 3rd party gallery such a Just Pictures or Quickpic.
thanks dude, I had actually downloaded Multi-live a while ago. I configure that last night and it worked much better. I guess I'll just use that to set my walls from now on.
Screen captured wallpapers from Milkdrop
All of the wallpapers I share I will be getting as screen captures from Milkdrop. Definitely worth checking out! Please give me some feedback on how they look, too many to try them all personally...

Hi, since 12.12.13 there is a new update of google search in playstore.
If i install this update, the google experience launcher changes the grid size (now i have less icons) and some widgets disappear or are resized.
Is there a possibility to change the grid size of the experience launcher desktop with a hack?
I would also like to know what has happened to the grid, as now I cannot have my homescreen as it used to be.
I wonder if this is anything to do with the new 'tablet mode' in the launcher. (install on an N7, then turn horizontally)
Funny, that the launcher is not officially supported on tablets!
For the time being, I have just reverted to GSearch 3.1.8. (or whatever it is!)
I am a developer, but I cannot find any reference to grid size in either the Launcher or Search APKs.
If you know, please reply

There are there modes phone, phabet and tablet. With Android 4.4, tablet mode is not available anymore. To switch between different modes use this tool
I think that it does not depend on the tablet oder phone mode. Other user have the same problem on different devices. (home button not in the middle, widgets deleted and and ...)
Hate to post in an older thread, but this is one of the first results when you start looking for ways to adjust the grid size.
GravityBox[KK] can change the grid size on the GEL launcher, but it's not perfect.

some widgets don't take to kindly to being squished down. like BeautifulWidgets.

Thanks for this. I was looking for a way to get the grid size larger on my Note 3. The resize ability for widgets is great too. I got it working using the Kit Kat version of Gravity Box, despite the fact that the dev says it may not work on Touchwiz ROMs.
If you run non-stock DPI, it will take a LOT of work to get widgets to display correctly.
I am running SlimKat 4.4.2 on Galaxy Note 2 with global DPI 245, and had offset widgets from the start, which wasn't surprising. So I installed Xposed & App Settings module, set Themer to 320 DPI, rebooted to recovery, wiped cache & dalvik, launched Themer again, and still had graphical glitches:

"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

}
I tinkered with individual widget settings and discovered the widgets are positioned in absolute pixels from margins. It would be awesome if users had the option to set graphical elements in relative terms, ie, a percentage of the distance from margins/center.

Nice idea, using relative positioning and size (HTML like?) would make themes more usable on different screen resolutions. However, this would not play well with themes that have the objects designed directly into the wallpaper
I don't understand what are you trying to say. Can you clear it for me?

Grame, do you have any experience with HTML and CSS?
If you do styling of text in them you have a possibility to chose precise or relative size of text by using tags saying something like:
font-size: 16px - this is absolute size of text
but you can also say :
font-size: 2em - this is relative size saying that the text should be double the standard size for what ever the default text size is on the device
Same is possible for size and position where you can define them in pixels or percents
As I understand what OP said, Themer now uses positioning in pixels (absolute) like setting the battery status 10 pixels from right border and 10 from top. If theme instead allowed for percentage (as well as pixels) it would help with scalability of themes for different sizes and resolutions. As I said the only issue to solve would be graphics that are built into the wallpaper.
I am also having a lot of trouble with widgets on themer
