Hi all,
I have just updated my system to the official O2 2.1. However, the wallpaper does not take the normal 800*444 anymore.
Does anyone know what's the resolution for the 2.1 wallpapers?!
Cheers!
Hi all,
I don't know if it's just me being stupid or others have the same problem with it.
I have been asking and searching around different forums to find a solution to this problem, but no one seems to have any ideas.
So I decided to play around with different resolutions.
This one works quite perfect for me, it fits in within the orange crop box.
Give it a try guys and tell me what you guys think.
Resolution: 747*298 (i knwo it's a wierd resolution, but it works perfet)
Cheers!
Try 1000 x 400 I think that's it.

Heya Guys,
I've been trying to customise my GSIII but I'm finding it really tough to find wallpapers that take full advantage of the resolution. I've noticed that 1280 x 720 wallpapers fit perfectly and appear really sharp as lockscreen images but they are really hard to find on Google Images.
I've also heard that 1440 x 1280 should work great as my home screen wallpaper yet it appears blurry and not very sharp ... Do you guys know any good places to find wallpapers? This is really disappointing since with my old phone I could have thousands to choose from.

There was a thread here @xda in general or app section with all the 1280x720 wallpapers. A search might bring you the thread.
It was titled some "HD wallpaper collection" or something like that.. not so sure..

Try downloading the zedge app, it has lots of wallpapers and it detects the device you are using...

On my phone, no matter the resolution, the lockscreen image will always appear blurry! i had to disable the s3 ripple effect (was using stock rom then) to make it clear again.
not sure whether this would help you. Anyway back on topic, for my phone i used resolution of 1440 x 900 and they looked great
Not to use sarcastic comments but a Google search would suffice
Click the images tab and then on the left look for advanced I think it is and then you can put your own res in
Hope this helps

This is definitly the best site for HD wallpapers: http://wallbase.cc
I've got a dozens of wallpapers, and I got all of them from refined Google Images searches.
A wp that looks good ("pretty!") on the PC screen doesn't necessarily work well as a wallpaper, specially if there will be lots of icons and widgets on top if it.
Hi,
First I would like to thank the developpers of this ROM as it really gave my tf201 a new life. Working really great so far. My only problem would be the font rendering, all fonts look really blurry. I have used iFonts to change the default font and it is now a lot better but still fonts are not crystal clear. I have searched the forum for quite some time but haven't found anything on the matter. Has someone experienced the problem as well ? Is there a workaround ?
Thank you
It's not possible to make it crystal clear because prime's resolution is 1280*800 on 10.1 inch screen.
Nowadays phones have 1920*1080 on 5 inch screens and it's equal to 441 ppi pixel density. Asus prime's pixel density is only 149.
I was under the impression that fonts were not that bad with stock ROM (but I only just got the tablet and almost directly put KatKiss on it, so I might be mistaken). Changing the default font with iFonts made quite a difference already.
Anyone notice that the resolution shows 2k on this device but the icons and pictures and other things dont look as crisp as they should? They look sort of blown out.

I noticed it on my Axon 7 phone which has a QHD display too.
icons are probably incorrect resolution, 2k screen isn't that popular. Also you might have smart resolution on, (i never notice it and therefore doubt it does anything at all)

Smart resolution is off but screen (especially fonts) arent very smooth. Maybe its the EMUI ROM

I have TAB S 10.5" (Lineage OS 14.x) and M5 10.8" (latest) ... If I set dpi 800 in dev options, I see zero difference in sharpness compare to 2 tablets (2k oled pentile vs. 2k ips true), oled is vivid but it is not crispier

Okay, thank you I thought I may have had a bad unit or that the tablet was using some trash screen. Thanks again for the response

technically, the IPS screen would be better, as it has RGB layout instead of pentile.
But the resolution on both is high enough you probably can't tell the difference anyway.
I think its strange youtube will never give an option of more than 1080p

Currently the "smallest width" is set to 627 dpi. Would you recommend boosting that up to 800 dpi then?

I came from TAB S and 800 dpi ("smallest width") gave me same experience. Only issue is that, every reboot reset this dev value to 756. (+ in settings/display view mode: small; font size: normal)

Quick question, how do you get it to stick after reboot? Mine keeps going back to 627 dpi.

I boost mine to 915 (I think!), though I have to bump up the font size if I do that. Having come from a Tab S, that seems closer to a similar use of screen real estate (e.g. in YouTube, it shows 5 videos per row on the home page). Unfortunately, it means the other settings can no longer be accessed, so I need to reboot if I want to change anything
I'm surprised that more people aren't complaining about this. I think Huawei have simply taken the interface from the 8.4 version without any changes, so things are just bigger all round but you get no advantage to choosing the 10.8 version

Someone had posted just last week that the M5 feels like a large phone and not a tablet, likely due to it not identifying itself as a tablet. This causes annoyance with some apps as they draw as if they are on a phone, which when stretched to a tablet screen not not good. Instead of making use of the extra screen space and resolution, things just becomes hard to use.

I have mine set to 1250 dpi and I love it. So much real-estate, looks clean, higher quality and since its on the Resurrection Remix Rom, the dpi stays at that custom number even after reboot. Some things are hard to tap at times but I use GMD gestures and control the tablet with gestures and tasker

The Resurrection Remix Rom makes things easy to set a better resolution that works well for the bigger screen real-estate ☺

Check out my latest response with pictures included. I use RR rom with 1250 dpi and everything works atleast 99.9% accurately for me and allows me to see things better, even on reboot

Use RR rom as it has dpi number customization thats works perfectly and stays on reboot!

Look up vanced youtube apk on google. Default youtube on this tablet does not use a specific codec that is required "VP9". Vanced youtube has this codec in its settings that supports 2k option videos

No thanks, not rooting my device. Had a very bad experience with rooting a while back which bricked a brand new phone and got no help here.
