I assume it will do. I just bought this one from here for UK - not sure if USA model though, might be EU? https://www.districtelectricals.co....ch-256gb-tablet-5g-unlocked-mystic-black.html maybe you'd be better getting it from UK site. You might have custom charges to pay from USA and it might take a while to arrive. This is the 5G version I got. Only 'problem' is that the serial number on the back is partly scratched off.
Samsung really put limited wallpapers on the s7+ does anyone know of a good Samsung wallpaper app ? The ones they put for the lockscreen are beautiful but I can't figure out how to make them my home screen wallpapers

Try the Resplash app. I've gotten several good ones from there. Also Zedge & Pinterest. And various 4k wallpaper apps
I can't see any pictures in this thread.
I'm still waiting for my s7+ but I saw on one review on youtube there's an option to automatically change the wallpaper even on every device wakeup....I think it's under "wallpaper services" setting.

The Folder have covers. It's show the First app in the Folder and if you touch it, it open the first app. If you swip the icon up you get in the Folder.
Here's mine. I'm using Nova Launcher Prime.
I just received my T870 4 days ago and love it. I use Nova Laucher for my Home Screen and default. I find it much more customizeable and it suits the way I use my tablet.
The background photo I captured with my DSLR of 14,255 ft Longs Peak in Colorado. The view is from my neighborhood which is at 5,034 ft above sea level. The peak is 35 miles away. There's a lot to look up to around here.

So I just got my G Tab yesterday. I've rooted it and slammed on Vegan. I'm really impressed with this thing. The one issue I seem to be having is that I download wallpapers (1024x600) but they never show up properly on it. They are always cropped. Am I doing something wrong?
Also, is there a way to verify that my screens resolution is correct? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Happy new G Tab guy
Yeah, that happens to me too. It seems the wallpapers only show the full art in portrait mode.
The only way I have seen to recify that issue is to download MultiWallpaper Live from the market. Set the single picture that you want was your wallpaper as the default wallpaper and it will fit to the screen as you would expect it to.
I still haven't figured out how to correctly display wallpaper without the use of this program on my GTab.

The correct app for this is MultiPicture Live Wallpaper, which is free. https://market.android.com/details?id=org.tamanegi.wallpaper.multipicture
After you install MultiPicture Live, it will appear as an option within "Live wallpapers".

You may have to try the market fix (go down to Part Three). However in my experience you will lose access to the device on the 'Web Market' (your device will disappear, never to be seen again). I have not figured out how to fix that, so be warned before trying it.
When I check the 'market', there's a list of apps I look for specifically (Not because I use all of them, but they seem to cover most of the filters). Some of them I've noticed are only available BEFORE the fix, and some (most) only available AFTER:
Adobe Flash/Air*
Mozilla Firefox*
Dolphin HD
Google Apps (Maps, Voice, Youtube, Voice Search, Gmail)
Launcher Pro
ADW Launcher (probably same filter as LP)
Titanium Backup
Yahoo! Messenger Plugin (Voice & Video)
Smart Keyboard
*means they are only available BEFORE the fix, they disappear from the market afterwards, so if you want them, be sure to download them first (may be others).
Of course, these are only the ones I know about, YMMV.
EDIT: If you still have trouble finding it and have another Android device (like a phone), you can download it there first, then back it up (eg. with Astro or TB), then sideload it onto the tablet (copy it over using preferred method, such as USB or Dropbox, then open it with a file manager on the tablet).
multipicture
I have tried puting different backround pics on each screen which works fine until I reboot and then I get a "picture not available" message on all the screens. I have tried several times with the same result.
I am a newbie - what the heck am I doing wrong!
Agree on the 1024x1024. However, if you can't find background in that resolution or no photoshop skill to make it so, use crop wallpaper.
Depend on the image, set it with the gtab horizontal or vertical.
Voila, no low rez crap background.

I'm really curious about actually getting this problem fixed. I don't have very much knowledge, however I am a quick learner. can anyone shed some light on whats causing this problem in android and why its present in every rom?
I've got a bit of free time until summer semester starts and i wouldnt mind spending some time on getting this fixed once and for all.

It's the built in gallery app made by cooliris, which is 16bit. Google's own gallery app that was there before android 2.1 was 24 bit. They opted for the 3rd party solution probably for it's 3d interface to attract more regular consumers.
I love google's apps for it's functionality. But IMO, graphical interface smoothness is not one of their strong areas.
I am on Calkulins 1.1, Clemsyn 9, Launcher Pro, and my wallpaper was always 1/3 cut off and moved to the bottom of the screen. Last night I switched to Go Launcher and it was fixed. Wallpaper looks perfect. Go Launcher has about 7 themes that are free and really cool. It functions a lot like Launcher Pro and is free.
happened to me
Got my gtab a few days ago and tried some new launchers tonight, when I switched to the toshiba launcher my wallpaper messed up. Live wallpapers work fine but normal ones are cropped, tried the fix posted but I got a "no photo to display" message and I don't know what folder the wallpapers are in to fix it.
Now that we got cm7 going, why not show it off. I wanted to make a thread Dedicated to Screenshots of Your Touchpad Android Homescreens or whatever you wanted to show off. Feel free to discuss why you made it look that way, how, tips, tricks, etc. Ill start by showing my Screeny

I think it's because of how Android is cropping them. You know, for when the wallpaper slides a little when you change homescreens?
It's annoying (especially after getting used to the nice crisp wallpapers when using stock webOS), but I've found a few that I use where it doesn't look so bad. I wonder if those other tablets that use gingerbread have the same problem? All the more reason to use plenty of widgets I suppose.

I use a live wallpaper called "MultiPicture", it allows you to have a different wallpaper or set of wallpapers for each home screen if you want or you could just go with one static image for all, it also has great scaling options.

On my old HTC Tilt 2 I had an animated weather part on my home page that updated automatically.
What app can I get to have this type setup? Free is preferred.
GO Weather is what I'm using, sounds like what you'd like. Widget, lock screen and/or live wallpaper.
This appears to be the one I want. How do I get it to replace the one on my home page?
I'm on GO Launcher, so not sure if TouchWiz is the same, but if you want to swap widgets, a long press on the existing should give you an option to delete. Then menu-->add-->widget should give you a menu option of GO Widget, where you'll find weather.
Try 1 or both of these...

I have tried the ones mentioned, but have not found the one I want. The one I had with my old phone would show rain and windshield wipers if it was raining and wind if it was windy, etc.
Are there any like this out there? It also would automatically update the temperature every so many minutes.
Beautiful Weather has the options for unlock animations which looks pretty sweet.
HTC sense 3.5 4.0
I assume your last phone was HTC with sense 3.0 or 3.5 sadly there isn't any company that does software like HTC does alot of companies try but just can't get it exactly like HTC so your out of luck there. Beautiful weather is as close as it gets to what your looking for. HTC does best software lacks in hardware and displays. Samsung does best in Displays and hardware software they leave that to app developers unless it's Bada . Motorola ok software good hardware ok displays software may get alot better now that Google owns them we'll see. Sony pretty good software, last years hardware, ok displays. I wish we could get HTC sense on Sammy phones it would be sick. Oh this is all my opinion so please don't flame too much.
I tried Beautiful Weather, but it would not take my location which is Dallas, Texas. When I did the auto it came up with New York.
There is a Sense app, so I may try it.
I am also hoping to get an app that will automatically pick up the local weather wherever I am. For example if I am in New Orleans, it would show New Orleans weather plus what locations I have saved.

Weather bug elite is pretty decent and stays upto date with just about everything weather wise. Nothing really compares to sense.

What you describe with windsheild wipers, rain, etc. is on my wife's Android, I believe as a live wallpaper. She's had hers for over a year so its been out a while.
Do you know what app it is?
I just checked, it is a HTC phone, not sure where/how that setting is made - it appears on top of her personal wallpaper.

Been looking for some good wallpapers for my tab but still not liking many so far.
Thought would be good idea if everyone share ones they have or links to where good ones exist.
Also I've been looking at 1280 x 800 resolution ones & always seem to require being cropped. Is this not the correct size?
I'm one for minimalistic and dark wallpapers. the less distraction the better.

Depends what you are into. If you google something like Nature Wallpapers HD you should get quite a few sites where you get install straight off the net. Sometimes you get a choice of resolutions. And it's better than copying it into the tab because you don't loose the resolution over cropping. You would have a choce of theams like sports, natur ... Some of them are really good looking. Good luck.
nice wood one thanks
I also prefer dark wallpapers but on the phone. On the tablet and desktop I prefer the high-contrast type of wallpaper, the one that will bring in front the elements on the screen.

I'm glad you like it .
The launcher is ADW EX - and this thing is allowing the naming of the icons/folders according to my liking. All the icons on the main desktop, except Play store, are folders containing the respective applications.
The widgets are:
big weather - "HD widgets"
small monitors in the bottom left - "Battery monitor widget" and "System Tuner"
the music player - PowerAMP
toggles set on the bottom rigt - "Extended Controls"
The other two are Calendar widget from touchwiz and the mailer is "Moxier mail".
That's all ... simple yet functional
Darker than ever for me.

1. Download your 3rd party app/launcher
2. Settings>Applications>App Info>Tap on the three dots on the top right>Tap Default App Settings>Desktop (on the top)>select the launcher on the top.

So did it fix in OS 5? I want to buy this phone but not sure about its OS 5 yet.
OS 5 has a ton of bugs, the reviewer all complained about the bugs but I've had Chinese phones before so I thought I would be ok with a few bugs/spelling errors. But Its kind of ridiculous some of the bugs I've seen in the week of ownership. It took me half a day to even setup my Google acct(In redmagic's defense, it did seem like google was having purchasing issues that day with people reporting multiple purchases and failed downloads but, I could even login in. It would refuse to connect to google servers at all and I had factory reset a few time so I don't know it was google fault or Red Magic but I didn't see any complaints about login in, just purchases when searched)
There are a ton of spelling errors, words outside of boundary boxes so you cant even read what its trying to say, nonsense names/translations for settings. Phone has the weakest vibrate for notification and calls that I often miss them and if you go to settings called "vibrations and haptic strength" there is no configuration for strength, only on or off. If you select show full notifications on lockscreen they are still hidden/collapsed If you get more than one so I have to swipe open to read the notification making it pointless. I can set the clock on lockscreen to 12hr but AOD is 24hr and there is no way to change that so far. AOD also showed no notifications so whats the point. I turned off AOD The flashlight is a joke and is dim as hell.
Yes but if you like say are in an app and you back out too much you back to the original launcher but when you click home you get sent back to the default launcher.

This does happen if you don't do the steps I mentioned in the original post.

Is there anyway that you can upload your OS in here?
Ok guys i didn't know this was a thing and gave up using 3rd party launchers. But oh boy it's really working after doing that default app setting stuff and the latest update.
i recently got an update on my red magic 5 (still android 11) and yeah now i can use nova launcher even with the nubia gestures beeing the navigation method. and even after leaving gamemode and killing all tasks in recents i still get Nova launcher.
so yeah I'll probably go with the upcoming redmagic 7 pro. being able to change the launcher is the game changer for me.
only thing I've noticed you have to slide slightly higher to open recents using the gestures otherwise it will act like the home button
I literally got rid of my Redmagic 5G because of this and right after I sold it, they released another update and tons of people were reporting using Nova hidden in settings. I'm glad it's still hidden on the newer OS.
Question though, do you think that even after it's set to the default, and going back from apps and such will restore the default launcher. If you uninstall the default launcher using ADB. Think that would stop it from restoring back or just break the entire OS?
Cause if it can't restore back, cause it doesn't exist anymore.. It "should" default to the only other launcher on the phone. Unless Nubia specifically designed the OS to have their launcher embedded as the safe mode default, rather than the system selected default.
