Hi folks,
I was watching a vid on youtube today and have noticed the lock screen wallpaper features an image of a scene from it. A blurry picture of hotdogs on a kitchen top
I can't get rid of it, I've tried setting other wallpapers, have applied Xperia themes but the bloody thing won't budge. My phone is unrooted and I'm using Sony's Lollipop OS.
Any help? It's infuriating and looks stupid as hell!

I tried locating the above image and deleting it to see if that would help. I tracked it down via File Manager and it was saved to my internal memory to a screenshots folder. I deleted it but it keeps regenerating and its still there as a lock screen wallpaper.
Here are the image properties if they mean anything....

This has been observed as a bug in lollipop.
Try these suggestions -
1. Clear Cache/Data of the YouTube app and Reboot
2.Just play a station(Fm radio) or any music from an app and then close it.(This will put an album art on the lock screen) and the lockscreen picture will be back to normal.
3.Watch a different video on YouTube and then close it.
Thanks for the advice. I didn't do any of that, I installed the XZ Locker app last night, set a wallpaper (which didn't work) but after deleting the app my lock screen had reset itself to a pre-installed Xperia wallpaper (which I can now change to anything of my choice).
Strange one but everything seems to be fine now.

Is anyone successful in extracting this Galaxy Tab wallpaper?

That's not an official Honeycomb wallpaper, at least not that I know of.
You can grab them all here. The one I use is Glowy Hex, looks awesome on my Tab:

The beauty is that you don't need to rebuild the launcher2.apk to insert those images... if you sync your tablet with a Google account, all you have to do is upload your preferred wallpaper to Gallery and use it as background.
If you ever flash your tablet or do a permanent erase, once you restore your Google account, it will also restore your background even if the image is not present anymore in your tablet sdcard. I was surprised to see that, when I did a complete wipe. It took a while, but eventually the background popped... I don't remember if it showed after I restarted the tablet... I know that after the initial app re-sync it was not there but it showed like magic 15-20min later on my tablet.
I don't suppose anyone has the TouchWiz wallpapers in a zip file?

The new Auto Awesome Movie functionality in Google+ 4.2 seems pretty cool. Here's an article if you don't know what it is:
http://lifehacker.com/google-adds-auto-awesome-movies-great-video-editing-f-1454154626
Anyway, it's only enabled on certain devices running Android 4.3 like the Nexus's. How can it be enabled on S3's running 4.3?
Here's how you see it's enabled:

how to enable in other devices
has anyone found the way yet?
I'm also looking for this for my Note 2. Would love to have auto awesome movies, but it is not available on many devices. Surely someone out there has found a way to make it work on other devices?!
Maybe you can change your device ID within the build prop?
any solution?
I've got a Note 2 as well running Kitkat and I'm sort of pissed for a few weeks now that I can't get movies to work.
I found the solution to enable making movie feature in google photos, but you will need to have your phone rooted.
You need to edit build.prop file in /system folder in root and find and edit as following:
(be sure to backup your build.prop file first)
ro.product.brand=google
ro.product.name=shamu
ro.product.manufacturer=Google
o.build.product=shamu
ro.product.model=Nexus 6
ro.product.device=shamu
ro.cm.device=shamu
Save the file and do a reboot and then try selecting multiple photos and click on the plus button on top, it will now show an option to make a movie, if still it does not show, reboot again it will show up.

didn't get movies option even after several boots also cleared data
Hi,
after upgrading to Android 7.1.1 I realized, that some of the Icons inside the appdrawer/homescreen are not displayed correctly.
With Android 7.1.1 round Icons were introduced. Some of the Icons are just fine, like Maps or Google+,Google keep etc., while other google apps (like playstore, inbox, drive, gmail etc) are round, but they have a white space around the icon which has shrunk in size.
These Icons normally should be displayed like the first three I mentioned.
This problem seems only to be appearing with google apps. There are apps which are not displayes as round, but that is okay since they do not have a round Icon by default.
The issue can be seen on the attached screenshot.
after updating I did not do a hardreset, which supposedly fixes this issue, and I do not plan on doing so at the moment.
I am looking for a solution, which does not force me to do perform reset.
I am thankful for every clue I can get to solve this issue
Hopefully I can be understood, since english is not my first language.

You can reset your system. After that, all icons will be shown correctly.
Maybe you can try wiping data and cache from your Launcher.

A reset is not an option at the moment. That is why I am looking for another solution. I already wiped the cache and data from the launcher (nova) and google now launcher, which I do not use.
It seems that the settings (how the Icons are shown - maybe another cache) for the stock icons are stored elsewhere.
Furthermore I already tried formatting the cache partition from recovery mode.
Hm, the last idea: Try changing the icon pack in nova settings, maybe reboot and revert back to system icons?

Have any of you encountered this problem? (see picture for reference)
Just got the phone yesterday (6gb/64gb variant, global rom) toggled themes to make the battery percentage appear just before updating the phone. Now after the update the "NoGlyphs" appeared suddenly. Tried applying other themes, restarting the device but the problem still persists. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Yes I get it too.
Here is the attached screenshot.

Clearly font issue. Did you change any font that was applied with the theme? Change the font back to stock. It should fix it.
No glyph means there's no placeholder for that character (unicode).
Some additional problems encountered:
-Can't change wallpapers when using nova launcher, you need to go to themes and change the wallpaper from there.
-NoGlyph appears on some instances when trying other themes. But later on after 2-3 changes it goes back to normal.
-Text color on some notifications blend in with the color of the background which makes it unreadable
-notifications dont even appear on the lock screen and sometimes don't drop from the status bar whenever a notif from fb or a message comes.
-don't even get me started on the clock display. Even when I deselect the 24hr ver. It stays the same and just adds am or pm next to it
Hopefully they'll fix the bugs in future OTA updates. Its buggy as hell!
Hello everybody
First time poster thanks for the help in advance. Please note I am a total novice when it comes to anything like rooting or unlocking boot but i can follow instruction if you leave them.
I bought my phone from Ali express global launch event. When I received the phone i noticed some basic functionality is missing for example : Gallery, File explorer, CAMERA APP. and so on.
It doesnt make sense, my camera works through whatsapp and such but no dedicated app.
I am starting to think the firmware was faulty. Waited for few updates hoping it will sort itself out, but no luck.
Now I am considering installing stock firmware but I have no idea where to start. I have downloaded few roms "different versions?" but i don't know how install them on my phone. They are on the root of the phone storage but i assume i must root my phone to get fast boot ? because i tried restarting with holding volume down, after language selection i can chose between wipe and reboot no update option.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
If you use the App Drawer view, you may find the missing icons there.
In settings/app-management/app-list you will find all installed apps.

Only found files in app list but I can't open it. Other apps have options of : open, uninstall, and force stop but not this app. For the other apps like camera and gallery they are not there. Do you think a fresh install of stock ROM will help or no ?
If the apps are not displayed in your app list, the best thing you can do is do a factory reset.
Which firmware version do you have on the GT ?
The GT was in its original packaging and shrink-wrapped when you received it ?
Ya it was brand new. Bought from Realme official store.
I see your firmware is A 16 mine is A13 but when I check for update it says am on the latest version?!
Also my Google backup is greyed out so factory reset will set me back big time.
