I posted this over in Q&A and I didn't get a response. But I thought maybe this was a question better suited here. I installed the free version of beweather on my phone. I love the weather animation videos for that app. So I got thinking. What if just I switched those videos with the stock HTC animations. I tried one and it worked! But the problem is, when the weather program opens, it starts with an image of the first frame of the stock video. Is it possible to change that image to the first frame of the beweather videos, so they can be switched out? Would this even be allowed on xda? Beweather is free, so Im not sure.

I have uploaded some wallpapers to my phone and for some reason it doesn't really take advantage of the high res screen when i set them as wallpapers. I downloaded this app called HD Wallpapers in the Market and every single wallpaper they have available come out very clear and crisp on the Atrix screen. Download it and see for yourself!
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.srsdev.wallpapers&feature=search_result
FYI The wallpaper size on the Atrix is 1080x960 which is slightly different than other android phones. If you take a slightly larger image, and resize it in photoshop - you can get it to display as a wall without cropping/distortion.
I'm getting a ton of random FC's from that app
"Wallpaper Set & Save" does an excellent job of setting wallpapers without making them look resized and crappy. I used it on my Captivate, didn't expect it to work on the Atrix yet...but it works perfectly.
http://www.appbrain.com/app/wallpaper-set-and-save/com.android.wallpapersetandsave
It works with all image files, but I've noticed PNG files look the best.
Tried Wallpaper set & save, but found the pics to be even more pixelated than using stock wallpaper setup. On top of that, it does not scan my sd card, only the internal phone storage (although it mistakenly calls it sdcard).
I haven't tried HD wallpaper, but I tend to use my own wallpapers so that won't really help
Runs like a charm

Same, FC's every time, very disappointing oh well, Flickie HD will have to do!! Rooted and de-odexed Atrix.

Same here. I still use it from time to time. I like their selection.
One of the best ways to get HD wallpapers is with AndWobble. Even if you don't use it for its intended entertaining purpose, you can use it to set images as wallpapers, and it does it without cropping/pixelating.
They just updated this app. So much better now.
Hi All,
I apologize, I know this has been covered before, but I am confused and having some issues applying my own photos for wallpapers on CM9. I used to use the HP wallpaper applier when I used CM7, but it keeps crashing with CM9.
Anyway, I have high res raw photos that I can resize to whatever I choose. I used to use 1536x1024, but now it still crops/zooms/blurs it when I apply the wallpaper. I've used the stock one, ES and quickpic. I have also tried other resolutions, but it still crops/blurs my images.
Can anyone explain to me what I'm doing wrong? Is there a way to get the HP wallpaper app to work on CM9?
Also should mention I'm running 120 dpi, if that makes a difference.
Try using OI File Manager in conjunction with the HP Touchpad Applier.

I'm currently on CN. I will flash to CM9 and see if I can figure it out for you. Give me about half an hour so I can backup, flash, etc.
What version of CM9 are you on?
Sent from my MIUI Evo 3D
Ok, I flashed over to CM9 Alpha 2. I can finish that HP Touchpad Wallpaper Applier force closes. I installed OI File Manager then retried the HP Touchpad Wallpaper Applier and it worked perfectly. I tested it with multiple wallpapers with no negative effects.
I recorded a video of it if your interested.
My suggestion is try uninstalling the wallpaper app, re install, install OI File Manager and it should work. Worst case scenario is having to do a fresh install of CM9.
Sent from my MIUI Evo 3D
Yes if you install the applier and the oi file manager the app works pretty dang great, no crashes or issues, if you need wallpapers (which need to be at or above 1536*1024) you can get them in my thread in my signiture
Thanks guys. I installed oi file manager and it the app works now! Except, it still crops my photos and zooms in a bit. Nothing terrible, but it still does it.

The reason it appears to be cropping is because the Touchpad is originally 1024x768. The app requires a higher resolution to account for the scrolling wallpaper effect. If you have multiple screens, take a look to get an idea if what I mean.

I personally use multipicture live wallpaper and it pretty fantastic..yes it has a bit of cropping (but not much) but i think all of them do. I recommend it because you can have it switch wallpapers at set intervals or by simply double tapping any blank area of the screen to get a new image. I downloaded a bunch of images from some of the various wallpaper threads and I found a bunch of ipad wallpapers from flicker. Very pleased with this app check it out...
https://market.android.com/details?id=org.tamanegi.wallpaper.multipicture
also there is a paid version
Thanks guys. I'm ok with the cropping, just thought I remember it not cropping but taking the full image with CM7.
Because of the constant Sense reloads I downloaded and am using the Nova launcher.
While I like it a lot, the one thing I miss is the HTC photo gallery. I'm not finding anything out there that matches it. What I am looking for is a full screen widget for one of the home screens that shows all of the photos from your device just as the HTC gallery/album does. What I have seen out there either is an app you have to activated before you get to the album or a widget where you have to go in and select which photos you want to show on the screen.
Any help?
I'm more curious why you were getting sense reloads. I'm not having any issue like that at all, and haven't seen it reported on the mikmik.

Well, in general Sense has had reloading troubles across platforms for about a year or so depending on the device and the update where it seems to have started:

HTC's "community" forum had a number of threads about it which seem to have been deleted:
http://community.htc.com/na/msgs/default.aspx?MessageID=9
Specifically with the EVO LTE:

This is also a problem on the One X:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-1601619.html
So, while perhaps not for all, it is an issue. It may depend on what app you are leaving to get back to the home page (seems to happen every time with Chrome) or how many apps "open" or how much memory being used, or who knows... And as you can see from the threads, there have been lots of suggestions and supposed "solutions" which don't seem to solve and sure didn't for me. Got so bad that started considering taking the LTE back before the 14 days was up. But Nova solved this problem. Not only do i like the launcher, there have been no loading/reloading"resets since I installed it.
And, in any case, I find I like the NOVA launcher and plan to stick with it at least until we have fully functional stable ROMs and I am fairly certain there wont be any major OTA updates (one hearsay post I saw suggested a recent update to the International One X helped the reload issue but can't find a confirmation).
Which brings me back to the ONE thing I did like about Sense that I cant seem to replicate, a photo gallery that accesses all of your pics and displays them all the time on one of the home screens, just like the HTC Gallery does.
Anybody????
So, is this impossible to do?
I would like to know if this is at all possible.

Quickpic works great https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alensw.PicFolder

I just installed quickpic and it doesn't have a widget that I can find.
But, I live what it does with the burst mode shots, gives them their own folder and unpacks them. Nice. I hadn't tried quickpic on this device yet.

Hey all,
I recently downloaded an app called 3D PARALLAX BACKGROUND.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vinwap.parallaxwallpaper
Seemed like a cool and interesting thing, much like the new iOS feature. Background looked pretty awesome too once I was done installing...
Only problem is, it changed my lock screen to something else (I guess a default within the program) and no matter what I do, I can't change it back to stock.
I have tried uninstalling the app, restarting the device, changing lockscreen to every stock lockscreen available, etc but it still won't change back.
Super weird and it seems that I am the only person that has had this problem. I looked through the app reviews and nobody mentions it. Wondering if it's an HTC One problem... Running 4.2.2 Android Revolution 12.0
Does anyone have any suggestions? I have attached a screenshot of the lockscreen in question. It's a nice looking one at least, but I am not a huge fan of the functionality and I would rather have a 12-hour clock than a 24-hour one...
TL;DR App changed lockscreen, can't get the stock one back.

Well that was quick, I figured out it was a completely other app that was activated for some reason. Go Locker was the culprit. Problem solved
