Hi all.
HTC hero has 2 ways of showing homescreen - 'touchflo' and 'home' when using 'home', there are some wallpapers available that are not available when using 'touchflo'
Any ideas where these are?
If you use the 'locale' app and use it to change wallpaper - it lists this other gallery.
Cheers
Press the 'menu' key.
this only shows the touchflo wallpaper though....
I've always wondered about this.
It seems like the wallpaper gallery is seperate from the rest of the galleries you find in the album.
For some reason you can't set the lock screen to have an image from the wallpaper gallery that the home screen uses.
The Lockscreen wallpapers lie under /etc/lockscreen/port. Just copy them to the sdcard, and you should be able to pick those.
But I haven't found the standard Android wallpapers.. Could they be in an archive or something? Or on the sdcard, hidden in a temp folder?
edit: found out it's a pain in the ass-droid to copy those files to the sdcard, so I just uploaded them to the web: http://fluesoppen.com/android/lockscreens/

Does anyone know how to make anycut work or does anyone with bettercut know if it works?
I can not seem to get it to place any of the shortcuts on the home screen.
Would be great to get it or something similar to work to gain access to portions no accessible in the menus..

BetterCut does not seem to work, either. Anyone have a workaround? I want to be able to edit my shortcut icons and names.
Desktop Visualizer seems to work pretty well. It allows you to use any icon with any application.
Using Astro with this will allow you to create widgets of any of your files on your homescreen. Most file formats are supported. You can also create a new extension to allow Astro to read epub format as well. It already reads most other file types.
This also works for folders on the homescreen. It's made the "Shortcut" and "Folder" selections on the launchers unnecessary.

How do you get this to work? I am using Launcher Pro. When I long press it goes blank for a sec and then nothing. If I try to launch DV and create from there I get a DVR message saying I don't have permission to create icons on my homescreen.
I downloaded a 1280x800 wallpaper on Google images but when I go into gallery and press set picture as the picture is way to big and I can't fit the box around the picture..
Download Wallpaper Slideshow from Market. Use a file explorer program like ES or Root Explorer and make a folder called wallpapers. Move your wallpapers into that new folder and use the program to point into that folder. That should fix your problem.

i can't find the app I searched for wallpaper gallery on the market but couldn't find it
Grab a copy of wallpaper wizard from the market. I had the same frustrations as you before I found it but now life is good

I found out about this recently
I found those programs to slow down the xoom a lot. Scrolling through homescreens goes jerky etc.
In the end I wrote my own livewallpaper that just sets a completely static image as the background at full resolution without any cropping. When you turn in portrait it uses the center third of the image.
I think the issue with the other apps is on every frame update they appear to reload the image so it is acutally doing full screen animation but with the same image all the time. I made my wallpaper only reload the image when the orientation changes.
It's pretty buggy at the moment as if you load a massive image it will force close due to lack of memory. Also the wallpaper picture doesn't reload until you change orientation. If I get time to sort these bugs I'll put it up on the market.

Widget size and gallery pics questions
1 - Is there any way to make the widget bigger to fill the 5 column screen? I can use Spare Parts app to make the program screen fit the note screen, but what about the widgets?
2- I noticed that after installing CWM, I can not see any pics stored on my USB storage section via gallery, not sure is this from the CWM or not, but I did 2 reboots and saw the media scanning is on and completed but can see any pics stored on USB storage and must be moved to sdcard (not the external, I dont have one) to be seen in gallery
Stock widgets can be resized by long-pressing then releasing. You will see a grid and you can drag the bottom right corner to any cell.
I use ssLauncher and it allows you to resize any widgets, although some stock widgets are not there and some do not behave well. It also allows movement / sizing almost to the pixel if you wish (20 pixels is default).
As for the images not showing up, look in the main memory area for a file named .nomedia (preceding period, no extension). It may be hidden, and it may be in a lower directory. This prevents the media scanner from searching that folder and any child folders.

Yes I know this, but they are not stock widgets, they are installed apps widgets.

I know this file , people added it to prevent pics from shown in gallery, Even I took a video and it did not shown in gallery!!!
I did not added, but when I looked for it Found it in (application-->SMemo) in 4 different folders, I deleted all of them but still can not see my pics in gallery and each time I reboot the phone 2 of these nomedia files come back in application-->SMemo?
Please Guys I still have the gallery problem, any pics added in usb storage does not show up on gallery
I don't know how to resolve your problem but I find quickpic gallery to be much better than stock and you can specify which folders you want to be visible.
1. All stock widgets are not resizable, few of it can resize in stock.
2. Replied at your other thread

Hello all, I have a G973F that I rooted and deleted a bunch of crap off of. My lock screen wallpaper is black. Still has the clock and the quick launch icons. But when I try to change the wallpaper to an image nothing works. Is it possible I deleted something related to the live wallpapers or something like that?
If so what should I look for to re-install.
My home screen wallpaper is working fine.
Thanks
Hello Chris33333, do vice versa your bull**** removed if possible as you are master on your phone.
You explain your removed animation, screen background in developer or in parameter.
How do I know what to put back on the phone>? When I pinch the home screen there is no longer a "wallpaper" icon to select.
Hello Chris33333, you pinch the screen, I press the screen to be able to add an application or others.
you put yourself on home is press 3 to 4 seconds you will have wallpaper, style, themes widgets and parameter.
