Everybody has that. So don't worry too much. It's the ripple effect itself. You can disable it on the lockscreen option or put a lighter lock screen wallpaper. :good:

I like dark WPs too. It's beautiful plus it saves battery.
However, a group on samsung devs did a lousy job.

[Q] Weird Effects On Any Faded Wallpaper

Hello, I am having a little issue with my wallpapers. Any of them that have a fading effect end up with a weird thing happening to them. The wallpaper I am trying to use is a basic faded blue wallpaper but when I use it as a wallpaper it gets pixelated. It looks fine on the computer and in PhotoShop, but not the phone. This happens with all pictures like that, from my computer, Zedge, where ever.
So, is there any way to fix this pixely looking picture into what it really is? Any option I can change? I am using ThaUnknownArtist's Ice Cream Sandwich Final ROM. I know it is not the launcher, since I have tried it with Go, LP, and ADW.
Sorry I can't post the pictures, I am new on XDA and it won't let me post outside URL's. Thanks to anyone with an answer!
I think it's so because our phones screen outputs only 265K colors instead of 16M like some other phones.

No, it doesn't have to do with the screen. Just tried the same picture on another Optimus V and it looked fine. Maybe it's the ROM? I'll see what I can do. Any tips though?

In CM7 roms there is a option for surface dithering, if its unchecked then this might also cause your symtoms

there still are these GIF-like colors also when surface dithering is enabled.
It is a known issue caused by the poor screen of p500 and the lack of dithering in some roms. A workaround is to download quickpic from market and put a wallpaper through that app. Dithering problems is almost gone in quickpic
Thank you! I put the wallpaper through Quick Pic and it fixed it. Seems like it was a problem with the gallery.

None.this happen only on my lock screen but.i try opening my gallery and view a black wallpaper and its normal

May be its because of water effect on the lockscreen?thats why is brighter?
Sent from my GT-I9300
1-it's normal
2-as you said, it comes from the ripple effect
3-the only solution is to disable the ripple effect
4-next time, try to search: there is already a few thread on this issue...

Wallpaper Chooser

I'm so sick of these restrictive wallpaper choosers on most devices now, that don't let you have what it is you really want to see on screen! I'm currently using an SGS3 with halo launcher but that doesn't change how Gallery wants to use the image. Same thing with my Galaxy Tab 10.1 Have a look at the screenshots...
So what do other people use?
Does anyone know of an app that can do this better?
QuickPic allows selecting the entire image, or you can pinch & zoom the selection you want.
App called 'crop wallpaper' works best for me. Light and does not auto start at boot. Crops at very high quality as well as selecting certain sections, as well as setting full image uncropped.

Look closer before you laugh Its the TOP of the wallpaper that goes dark, or better to say
it's the top of the screen that goes black. If you change to the same wallpaper it will look
normal again for a few hours, but then graduatly getting darker. Has nothing to do with the
weather conditions, time of day, display settings or screen mode..
I have exactly problem the same and didn't find a reason..
Galaxy S3
Android 4.2.1
Omega v44.3
