Hey guys
I have a Mate SE, but those boards are not as populated so I thought I would ask this here. I have been trying to add custom pictures to the Mate SE magazine unlock gallery, and when I do so, I get the rotation working for maybe a day, but eventually all the pictures I added just arbitrarily go away and it resets to the default image. Am I doing something wrong? How do I get the images I added on the magazine unlock to stay there without being deleted. Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

I'm running Shirshir's ICS ROM, but he hasn't made any changes for quite some time and I have no idea if he's supporting it any longer, so that's why I'm posting this here. The rom uses AOSP gallery and a themed mms.apk, both of which I like, but in this tweaked mms.apk Shirshir removed the ability to add pictures to a text message using the gallery, so you can only add pictures and videos that you take at the time. That is, you can't add ones already taken unless you go through the gallery app itself, and even then you can only send one at a time, you can't add multiple like you could on stock. So my question is, can anyone re-add this ability? Or point me towards how I might do it myself, as I'm very noobish?
P.S. If you happen to make one, I'd also like a switch of the attachment and send buttons in messaging while you're at it XD
Thanks for any help in advance.

Hey!
I know about this problem... I was actually going back to the old gallery to fix this and the lockscreen wallpaper problem. That's the only easy way short of decompiling and fixing the code inside the individual apps... which is useless since I plan to change my ROM to a completely new base eventually.. That's what I've been working on lol.
So, you can't really fix it and keep the stock gallery app. If you want, I can upload the original gallery for you to install, and that should fix everything.
Is there a setting somewhere, anywhere that would allow the actual wallpaper to be used instead of cropping it or automatically zooming in on the image??
This is driving me crazy...:silly:
I tried Wallpaper Wizardrii, QuickPics, PicSpeed and they all seem to enlarge the wallpaper to an either blocky, pixelated mess or zoom in too much and cut half of the image out.
I also tried making wallpapers in Photoshop the exact size as the stock Asus wallpapers but they still end up zoomed in or cropped...
Even the stock wallpapers are enlarged...
Could it be the ROM (AOKP) or something??
I've never had an issue like this before and I'm pretty sure that when my Prime was brand new the stock wallpapers weren't enlarging like they are now...I remember they were perfectly sized to fit the screen...
I've been through many threads and forums and Google searches but I can't seem to fix this.
Any/all help is appreciated.

yeah that's how I am doing it...I go into the gallery, choose the image I wanna use then select PicSpeed and it opens up, gives me the choice to rotate or crop the image in 3 different styles or "use original"...I still get the zommed/cropped image as the end result.
maybe I'll uninstall then re-install it (PicSpeed) and that will correct something...or maybe fix permissions...can't figure it out because when I first installed PicSpeed it was working fine.
sorry cannot be more helpful since I do not have access to PicSpeed so cannot try it out myself.
Hi there, i installed an app Go theme, but didint like it so i uninstalled it
and the stupid app somehow deleted my wallpaper, i had the photo
on home & lock screen and on contact, on my lock screen and on contact
the photo appears, but on wallpaper it doesnt, and i cant find the photo,
is there anyway i can find it ? its a very precious photo to me!!!
Thank you.
Is no one able to advise with this, post been here a fortnight with no replies?
I believe that the wallpaper is saved in this location - /data/data/com.android.settings/files/wallpaper but requires root to access.
You could also perhaps try this Wallpaper Saver (tried to post linky but I'm still to much of a noob) from the play store. I have had a similar problem, I set a picture as my wallpaper background that I had taken and was saved on a now gone tits up memory card, the wallpaper is still there but I don't have the original image. The wallpaper saver app pulled it back for me but it's worth pointing out that it DOES NOT pull back the original image but a slightly reduced 1280x1280 .png version but at least I still get the picture back I suppose.
Would love to know if there is a way to pull it back without the need for root?
DISK DIGGER, an app from playstore helped me recover many lost images even the ancient times'
Hey,
I have a great picture I took and I set it as my wallpaper about a year ago. I accidentally deleted it from my gallery and now the only place I have the picture is on my background walllpaper. Can somebody please tell me how to export this picture because I want to factory reset my phone but do not want to lose this picture.
Thank you very much for reading,
Rambo
UPDATE: I used a app called wallpaper saver available for free on the Google store. It saved my wallpaper.

Try screen shot lol move all icons and apps off your main home screen and screen shot it, and take the picture and edit it. and also if your phone is backed up through your google account most of the time if you do a factory reset your settings will be restored once you log in to your account and that includes your wallpaper.
Hi all my First Post as new member, (I think I was a member a long time ago, but no email search works)
I have 3 Android devices, my trusty old Galaxy S5, TCL 4K UHD TV and now new TAB7+5G.
Anyway I am trying to change my Lockscreen Image from original but can't seem to find a way and I did search before this thread, I have changed Homescreen Image OK, but not Lockscreen.
Appreciate any help,
Thanks
Ash
There is a service that will change the lockscreen image daily. Go to settings - wallpaper - wallpaper service - enable.
It would have been nice for samsung to enable the service to work for home screen wallpaper too.
Go to wallpapers and when you pick on it asks you which to use for.... home or lock screen.

Hi thanks for that But the Lockscreen Settings are either None (what came with Tab) or Dynamic which gives you options of about 4 category titles and then others within each title, BUT you must have WiFi on and they must update every 2 weeks to change LS cycle.
I don't want this at all I just want to set my own Lockscreen to my image as I can do with the Homescreen (use my image).
Guess we have different tabs.
Edit: Not sure why can't upload a screen shot.
When I go to "Wallpaper" in settings I see my current home an loclscreen images at the top, below that I ..
My Wallpapers
Gallery
Wallpaper Services
Apply Dark Mode
If I pick either My Walpapers, or Gallery and then pick an image I get a meny that asks me where I want to apply it.

Well finally got it,
Because I First added a particular single Jpeg Image from my Mega Cloud it saved in Gallery to a folder called Pictures first when I bought Tab new.
I also use a Recovery App for images off Twitter, etc....some I save and "restore image' from same app.
The image goes in Gallery in 'Restored 'folder.
Even though Gallery has 4 options in bottom of screen the Picture option Only has my Restored Images and not THE Picture I want as Home and Lockscreen.
As I said Yes I can use My jpeg as Homescreen Only as it gave me no other options, BUT when I copied this same Jpeg over to Restored Folder and opened up image there were the options to add to Hone and Lockscreen...so it worked.
Anyway all good, just the usual learning BS with Sammy and their control with OEM.
I am going from Android 6 to 10 in one hit, still learning.
Thanks.
