Hello Everyone,
Does the Weather Toggle Widget work properly for anyone on the Dell Streak? I tried this on 1.6 and now again on 2.1 but it always looks messed up. The clock looks great but the weather is always compressed and cut-off on the side. I have tried different skins but always the same result. I really like this application and just want to get it working.
Check the screen capture to see what I mean.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
PS. I did send a support email to the creator as well so I hope to hear from him eventually.
[FIXED using ADW LAUNCHER (Free) in Market Place]
I was informed that ADW Launcher allows many customizations, including widget sizes. I use this as my home scren now and couldn't be happier having total control over my widgets.
Yes mine was cut off and it is cut off on Beautiful widget

What widget r u using?
I use beautiful home screen, and had a time issue when i flashed to 2.1 in that the time wouldn't change.
Sent and emial off to creator and got a reply very quickly saying to exclude it in task killer and it now works.
Only problem i have now is that the minutes section is over lapping on the right, not a big deal but still an issue.
Have to say tho the beautiful home live weather wallpaper is amazing.
Yeah i tried it too and it wouldn't line up correctly so i had to ditch it.

I looked around the forums but couldn't find any good answers/explanations about it, so I decided to ask myself.
The thing is I grew addicted to GoWeather's live wallpapers showcasing the current weather, the HD ones are a true sight for sore eyes, the thing is I dont want it on my home screen because I feel it lags me up a bit, and I also dont like how it transitions on to other screens, but mainly because I like static backgrounds for my home.
So I wanted to set the live wallpaper to appear ONLY in the lockscreen (im using widgetlocker) but I simply can't set it to go there; is there anyway to set a live wallpaper only for the lockscreen? I tried browsing my phone's memory (I own a SE Xperia Neo) to see if I could find the live wallpaper myself and set it manually, but I cant find them on there.
If someone can shed some light on this or where the wallpaper got installed to I'd appreciate it greatly ^^
cheers
Anyone? Anyone at all? *__*
i dont think u can use live wallpaper for only lock screen ..that is all i know
meh, thx anyway >.<
You can have it on the lockscreen but you will also have to have it on ypur home screen. i use go locker to do this but i dont know anyway in which you can have it only for your lock screen. Go locker is a new app so hopefully they will update it the way you want it
If you keep access to the original Nook homescreen (stock) then when you longpress on it and click on wallpapers, you can install live wallpapers.
If you enable the live wallpaper from here, you can then see the live wallpaper on your other home replacement such as GoLauncherEX or ADW.
You must change the settings each time from the stock Nook homescreen.
I hope this helps you guys out if you were interested in running live wallpapers on your NT.

Nice find... I was getting ready to port android live wallpapers over, but this works fine.
***UPDATE***
Multipicture Live Wallpaper works great with this...
Exactly. Definitely wanted multipicture live.

Nice find, but if I'm not mistaken this will absolutely destroy your battery life -- given the screen size.
The nt supports lwp's anyway. I actually bought one frome the b&n store and the option appeared automatically to accommodate it.

I guess I don't understand how it works.
Do Live Wallpapers still keep consuming battery life when the screen is off?
On EInk displays any animation destroys battery life. It takes almost no current to maintain a static display.
Active displays like the Nook and Fire I would not expect a lot of difference in the display current draw for animations. The big deal here would be taking the processor out of idle to generate the changing display.
This would certainly be a fruitful area for a test. Love to hear the result!
And this is with the display on. Display off may shut down everything related to the screen.
Thank you. I was trying to figure this out. Should have known to look here first.
hello. if this has been asked before, please point me to the thread and lock this one. i am wondering if it is possible to make your lock screen wallpaper a live wall paper like you can your home screen? i know with the gs3 you could do it from settings, but in my lgog the lock screen settings doesnt have the option to select live wallpapers for it. it only lets me use gallery pics or wallpaper pics, not live wallpapers. so does anyone know of a trick to get it to enable live wallpapers on the lock screen? thank you for your time.
I just got done scouring the internet for an app or mod to do this but I came up empty. I think there was some weird limitation because there was plenty of interest for something like this and a few bootleg ideas.
The best of those is clear lockscreens which let you see a live wallpaper if one is set as your normal background, but that's the best you can do at least for now. Just search for clear or transparent lockscreens to try it.

Well you could delete(make sure to copy it somewhere first) lockscreen3.apk and you will have the ability but you lose the shortcuts and the lock screen just looks like this and the camera button doesn't even work

And I have tried the clear .png and it doesn't work. The lockscreen app has a white background behind it that I don't believe is an image, so I don't know how you would take it out.
Hi all,
Is this new to Samsung? I had the Note 4 previously but it didn't have this issue where by when you set the wallpaper for both the lock screen and homescreen, the crop on the lock screen is exactly the dimension you have set but on the homescreen it is zoomed in.

This is because the S6 detects small up and down motions when using the phone and moves the home screen wallpaper up and down to make it look like your view is changing. Fun little gimmick. Not sure what its effect is on battery life, but I've found no way to turn it off. But it does mean it has to crop the home wallpaper.

I've tried to tilt the phone to different angles but I see no movement of the wallpaper though, to me the phone just plainly auto-cropped the wallpaper on the homescreen for me.
It's pretty annoying at the moment

I've seen on here that some people's accelerators have malfunctioned. Does your screen rotate properly when it's supposed to? If not, it may be an accelerator issue.

Hmm that's weird, I tested my phone apps and the accelerators are fine. Apps switched orientation as they are supposed to and snappy, but I still don't see any tilting of the wallpaper according to how I tilt the phone.
Not that I want this feature tho XD

Interesting. I wonder if it's carrier-specific. I have Verizon, not sure if other carriers disabled this feature.
Glad your accelerometers work though! :good:
is there a solution to add wallpapers to the S6 without having them zoomed in??? this is really annoying!
I asked this once too, nobody even glanced on my post or tried to help, so I found the solution by myself, just get the app dodol wallpaper maker and try setting a wallpaper using that app, it doesnt crop or zoom anything, the way u set it is they way it will be set on the homescreen, believe me, I notice every little thing on my wallpapers, so naturally, I immediately saw that crop issue, I think it was after the latest big update. Anyway, just try the app.

Hmm thanks for the tip. But I am not satisfied with this. The app just sets an image as live wallpaper. So there is no zoom, but having a service in background that uses 80 MB ram just for a wallpaper is not nice...
But it seems there is no other solution.
You dont need the app to keep the wallpaper, the app itself creates a wallpaper in your Gallery, I think it is in an album under the name Crop, then u just set that wallpaper the normal way, it will not have a zoom, I've tried and it works, you only need that app for the wallpaper crop, it's good that the app saves the wallpapers so that you don't have to use it, try it and tell me if it works.

I think we are talking about two different things. My wallpapers are already cropped to the resolution of the display. But when I set them as wallpaper, they are a little zoomed in. If I take the image from the "crop" dodol folder, and set as wallpaper, it will also have a little zoom...
When I set the same image to lock screen and home screen and unlock my phone, I always see the the home screen image is a little bigger - you dont have this problem???
btw, I am using nova launcher.

I believe it's the same problem, I would put a wallpaper using TouchWiz, and a high quality image (after being cropped and looking good on the preview window) would become pixelated thus I imagine it was being zoomed in, otherwise without zoom I wouldn't be seeing those dots in the middle of my wallpaper, after using dodol to crop the picture and set that one again using TouchWiz there was no deterioration in my wallpaper. I don't think that the picture was the problem, every other picture had the same thing, It's like I lost quality in my pictures, and I intentionally get high quality images to have everything look crisp. I looked over at the webpage you posted, they are talking about the Parallax effect, but for me it made no difference if it was on or off. Maybe not all phones have the same fix, or as you said we may not have the same problem after all, one thing is for sure, Samsung while fixing one thing sometimes breaks another.
