Ok, I searched and searched (with Search and Manually) for an answer, but I can't find it. My apologies if this has been answered.
Info:
AT&T Note
Official ICS Stock ROOTED
I installed the TW from the SGS3 (the 5x6 version) and everything works GREAT, except the Wallpaper.
I tried the whole QuickPic trick and no matter what I use to set the wallpaper, it's still zoomed in.
Has anyone had any luck with this? I would LOVE to use the launcher, but this one issue is just driving me batty as all hell! :silly:
Thanks!

my question is, has anyone got the Friendstream app and widget to work in the official 2.1 release?
I tried installing FriendStream.apk and com.htc.FriendStreamWidget.apk from VillainROM, but it's not possible to install them.
The other thing is, has anyone working Live Wallpapers in Official 2.1 ?
Again, I tried installing LiveWallpaper.apk and LiveWallpaperPicker.apk, these worked, and when selecting background I can really select Live Wallpapers.
But, whenever I click on a Wallpaper to get the preview, LiveWallpaperPicker crashes.
I have searched around a lot and found that many people have these problems, but I found no solution. Am I just too blind to find it?
Please tell me if there's something I can do.
Thanks

Nah, you need the whole rom to get friend steam, as there are big changes in the frameworks.
Also, you using launcher pro to get lwp? Iirc u need a third party launcher to do lwp
ah thats sad... i had hoped it would need only minor changes in the apk to make friendstream work on the hero.
as for live wallpapers: i tried it with HTC Sense, Launcher2, Launcher Pro and HelixLauncher, the results are always the same: when selecting a wallpaper, I see the "Live wallpaper" option and can select it, afterwards I see the list of installed wallpapers. but whenever I click on one of the wallpapers, the "application Live Wallpaper Picker has terminated unexpectedly".
is there a fix for this?
Hey everyone, did a search here and couldn't find anyone else with this issue. I was running stock for the last month and had no issues using a custom wallpaper (1080x960) that I made. Just flashed CM and that same wallpaper is pixelated, even using different launchers (ADW, GO, Zeam, etc.) Any ideas?
I recall people saying it's the Gallery's fault, try setting it as wallpaper with some other application from the Market.
There we go. Used Quickpic. Thanks!
Hey XDA,
I recently upgraded my Nexus S to ICS 4.0.3.
LOVE IT.
It's smooth, and bugless. The browser finally seemed to have caught up with Safari!
There is one small annoyance, however. When the phone starts, everything is great and dandy. I use PlayerPro, AudioManager and some other widgets on my homescreens.
After a while I find the widgets don't seem to refresh anymore. They are stuck on one static screen no matter what I do.
It's really annoying, as I don't know which album I'm on, or what my current audio settings are.
Is this a ICS bug? Or is there some setting I should change?
I'm using JuiceDefender in the BG. I had autokiller, but since uninstalled it.
It is rooted, with a unlocked bootloader.
ice cream sandwich:
works camera?
and usb?
Correct, everything works. why wouldn't it?
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
Thanks. Gotcha. Anyone have any idea? it's driving me crazy.
Same issue here - stock Nexus S 4.0.3, not rooted. I don't know what caused this, but just restarted the phone and now it is ok. We'll see if it will happen again.
If u hav installed beautiful widgets then..
Well after lots of trial and error.. the only solution i found is..
1. uninstall beautiful widgets animation
2. clear data beautiful widgets from settings - apps - beautiful widgets
3. uninstall beautiful widgets..
Living without beautiful widgets is better than facing that refresh problem..
I run ICS on my SGA and the widget refresh works fine
To begin with, I'm far from new to Android, just new to Samsung and the Note.
Also - I know I'm not the only one with this problem but I haven't run across a solution yet. I can take and image I want to use as a wallpaper and, on the lock screen and the Touch whiz home screen and it looks exactly like I want it to. But, since I'm one of those folks who dislikes the fact that I can't swap out apps on the TW launcher bar, I slap my own launcher on the Note to make it mine again. Unfortunately, then comes the annoying part.......
Whatever photo I put up as wallpaper looses resolution and seems to explode in size so that only about 1/4 of the original wallpaper/ photo is visible and what's left is very blurry. I know this isn't limited to just one launcher - I've tried ADW, Launcher Pro, Nemus, Go Launcher, Holo, and a few more I can't remember the names of right now. And they all give me the same problem.
So far I've changed the format of the wallpaper photo to .png or .jpeg and back again, tweaked the size and resolution of the picture, dug through XDA and a few other forums fort wisdom, and used harsh language on my Note - all to no avail. So, can anyone tell me what I'm missing or if there's any hope for me at all? I'm rooted stock 2.3.6 and would prefer, for various reasons, to stay that way for now. But, at this point I'm willing to consider options if all else fails since I'm getting quite annoyed by this.
Thanks for any help/ insight!
Use the Quickpic app to set the wallpaper.
Thanks! I'll give that a shot.

Hello
I've been having trouble with setting a wallpaper from the day I bought this phone. I've now tried 4 different roms over the past couple of weeks, those being AOSP, AOKP, ParanoidAndroid and Sammy Stock, none of these allow me to set an image as a wallpaper without cropping it, even if I choose pictures that have been resized in Photoshop to 720x1280. This is quite frankly getting very frustrating, to the point where it almost makes me want to buy an iPhone (yeah, forgive the blasphemy). One of my main reasons for buying the S3 was it's gorgeous screen.
Is anyone else having the same issue? It doesn't matter if I use ES File Explorer, Gallery, the Album app from Xperia, the phone always forces me to crop. I've searched a couple of threads for answers, and tried taking a screenshot of the wallpaper I want, but still I need to crop it.
best regards, Tim
My standard answer to this question is to use Image2Wallpaper from Google Play .Or and PicSpeed Wallpapers .

This one works for me without cropping in TW
All background with this resolution should work with no issue...
Thank you both for replying, I will check out those apps mentioned
I've included a screenshot of the wallpaper that was attached to your post, here's how it looks on my S3, currently running Paranoid 4.1.1.
De-crop yourself!
Put your finger on one of the blue point and move it. You should be able to select the full picture...
You mean making the selection rectangle as small as possible or the other way around?
Cause it's stretched out to it's limits in that screenshot
You should be able to make the selection rectangle bigger (at least I can on stock rom...)
Maybe something with the rom you use or with the gallery app included in this rom...
This also happens on my stock rom, and every other rom I've used so far =/
Thanks for trying anyway

This same thing happens to me every picture I choose, no matter what size or shape! And when I try to adjust the cropping, proportionally the shape stays the same, It just always cuts some of the pic out. Is there a way to take a photo , image etc. and place it somewhere so that it shows with the rest of the stock wallpapers instead of picking from the gallery??
Btw: I'm on Clean Rom 2.1 w/ Clean Kernel
