Background Image Help

Hi,
I'm trying to put a background image of a car on my today screen.
When i put it on its far to close (pic to big). With my old M3100 you could chose how much and where abouts of the jpeg you wanted as background is there anyway to do this on the kaiser?
I've tried changing the resoultion then it works in wide screen but tiles it in normal mode which looks naff.
Any help would be appricaited.
Thanks
Jason

Go to Start | Programs | Pictures & Videos - then find your image you want to use as the background; select Menu | Set as Today Background and you'll get a window showing what part of the image will be used on the today screen - use your stylus to drag the rectangle left or right to suit and then just OK your way back out.....
HTH,
Mark.

Thanks, but even if i do that it still tiles or i can only see a small amount of the car.
I have tried numorous resoultions on the jpeg then put it on my phone but still no joy.
rangeing from 200x200 to 1024x768
Any one had this issue before and solved it?

Strange....it seems to work for me as long as the image is not stupid-sized (like 1600x1200 off my digital camera ).....
The screen resolution is 240x320 so that should be fine as an image; you may want a 320x320 image so that it works for landscape too, although I think you have to keep the part of the image you want to the left of the 320 pixel width....
Of course, you could always use something like ThemGenCE to make yourself a theme with the picture(s) you want - that should work....your call
HTH,
Mark.

TouchFLO 3D wallpaper is zoomed-in alittle bit

Hey,
Has anyone noticed that the wallpaper on the Home screen
is a little too stretched?
It's like it's zoomed-in, and it shows only about 80%
of the full picture.
Is there anyway this can be fixed?
Thanks.

I think you need to get out more my friend if this is the kind of thing you notice about your device!

Yeah, I've also noticed this and I think it's a bit annoying. It would be great if anyone have a fix for this!

MY GOD! you're right!
Thank you! you helped me so much!
what have I been doing all these years?!?
Actually, I made a mistake, it's not zoomed-in,
it just has a much lower quality, maybe HTC wanted to boost the tf3d performance.
Anybody else noticed it?

Well , I have the same thing. I have a picture which is quite large (but also decreasing the size didn't work) where only the top of the picture is shown and the picture is zoomed in. The bottom of it is falling of the screen. Maybe there are specific requirements for the wallpapers (size) someone knows of?
Thanks in advance,
Olaf

it's not because the image is shrinked.
the screen resolution is 480x640 so the wallpapers are
the tf3d screen is smaler, due to the bottom and top bar.
in wm6.5 you niticed that the wallpaper fits the hole screen, because the bars are transparent. i also asked the cookers, if it's possible to rewrite it to use it also on wm6.1 but the answer was: no it's not possible, because the homescreen/with menue are different.
your wallpaper must be smaler than 480x640, i don't know the exact resolution, but then it schould be look nice

Wel I have resized it to 338x639, but it still zooms in and so the whole picture is still not displayed. Fortunately, it's a painting of Maria Magdalena by Pietro Perugio, the face is displayed fine. But I would like to see the whole picture. If you have a Diamond HTC, I can upload the attachement so you can try?

i think you only have to adjust the height, not the width, it scales it i assume.. havent tried it though (never noticed it because i use the standard screen )

Wel both horizontal and vertical is smaller now than the 480x640, so that shouldn't be the problem.

Honeycomb: Problem with default screen resolution

Hi, I'm running into the issue that the screen is being rendered larger than the physical size of the screen so status boxes sometimes partially off screen and app icons get half hidden in the corners.
I plaid around with build.prop, but it didn't really help any. Is there a way to modify the home screen without changing the resolution? Also, if anyone knows of a way to change icon sizes short of installing a different launcher, that would be a huge plus.
TIA!

I've read that there are limitations in place for the preview image that kind of create this problem. If I understand the problem correctly it may be a case of changing pixel density but the preview image doesn't let you go beyond a certain density so even then the problem still exists. It's probably just something we have to deal with until Honeycomb becomes publically available for development.

This makes sense. The only reason I care about this is that when I use Aldiko, I can't see the top line of text because it pushes the words above the actual screen.
Does anyone have a recommendation for an E-Reader that they use successfully on HC???

You changed the LCD density in build.prop and the screen didn't change???
What is your lcd _density set at?

I haven't really looked into this but I do know there are ports of honeycomb for various phones such a the evo, maybe try pulling the build.prop from one of those and see howe they altered screen density.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

i've tried changing the number but havent had much success through the buid.prop. Any ideas on a good number and which number to change? Looks like there are 3 density numbers

For Honeycomb, I found that 120 is the best lcd density, it shows all the options when you expand the settings from the clock, it also displays the correct number of running apps in the quick change button (or whatever you call it) Also, Lcddensity is a good app for trying out diffrent settings. For Aldiko, I recommend increasing the margin size to see the top line of text, not a perfect solution, but it works.

[Q] Stock Screen Density

Hi, I am fairly new to Android development. I have a question regarding the Galaxy S. What is the stock screen density of this phone in 2.1? I am trying to create the Galaxy S environment on an emulator so that I can test my application (I do not own one of these phones). Does the density change in later versions?
I have read hxxp://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens_support.html
I know that the phone screen resolution is 480x800.
I am not sure what type of screen it is (Normal or Large), hence I cannot determine the density.
Is there an easy way of determining the density and screen type of a phone?
Thanks!

I do not know how to find out a density of other phones thought its a standard
But Samsung Galaxy S I9000 should have 240 (as seen in build.prop ro.sf.lcd_density=240 ) as the standard one and no it doesn't change in the versions.
(I use 200 though looks nicer )

Hmm, strange. The application seems to work fine with that configuration, yet one of the users is reporting an issue. I wonder if he changed the density..
Thanks for your help!

What kind of issue?
Well tell that guy to download spare parts and unticks "compatibility mode" if he is using changed density it may help him.

Grr. It was a simple user error. He thought the background picture was not appearing in the center, when it was. Just the way the picture is.
I started fiddling with making the application accessible to other densities. The AVD comes with a large screen, medium density skin (480x800/480x854 at 160dpi). Are there actually any devices that use that kind of setup? I ran my application at those settings, and for some reason it is loading the mdpi resource, which is designed for a normal screen (640x480).
Thanks for your help Pagot!

[How to] Change Screen Size

Hi Guys,
If you wanna be normaly screen size (not original screen size of Htc Desire 510) than download this apk to your phone:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nomone.resolution_changer&hl=hu
NOMone Resolution Changer (its free)
Open the app and you see
"Width" "Height" "DPI"
Change Width to 720
Change Height to 1280
Change DPI to 312
and click on apply
Or second way:
Open the app
Click on "Select device template"
and choose Motorola Moto X or Htc One X
Click on apply and you done
If you dont like this sizes,dont worry,apk will restore stock sizes after 10 sec and after 1 minutes too.
I hope its helped to some people.
Good Luck to all.

Use this all the time (different app, same effect) but it can seriously eat ram depending how far up you go. While it makes stuff look prettier, it can slow down your device.
Also our aspect ratio is weird. 720x1280 causes a border effect. Use 768x1366 at 300dpi. Looks great and uses the same amount of ram.

I don't know if it's just me or not but everything seems tiny on my screen, including the HTC home,back, and recent apps button.

this does not work on my 510.
any idea why?
do i have to be rooted?

Yes.

I've done this with a different app, but now my widgets & some other stuff seem rather disproportional.
Any way to fix this?
Other than this, however. The 720P looks much better on this phone. Thanks for the tip.

UPDATE: The biggest problem so far that I'm experiencing is that I cannot use my favorite keyboard. The buttons are out of place. Too big, can't fit the space allocated. SwiftKey & TouchPal are both out.

All the resolutions dont suit it they are all too big

After changing resolution, reboot your phone. The resolution will stick but everything else will resize to normal. If it doesn't, lower your DPI. All issues regarding "stuff size" should be resolved by lower DPI. Experiment, you'll find what works for you.
But again, RAM is an issue. I've asked pattyboi to adapt Swap into his kernel so I can test out RamExpander. With Swap enabled we should see a bit of a performance boost, but it can be risky if you don't know what your doing. Until we have a Swap capable kernel (and it actually works) were stcuk with what we got. From what I've read up on it, Swap seems like a viable solution to many performance issues with the 510

Okay so I'm really puzzled about how you can just change the resolution, how does it work??? Does the screen have a resolution more than the stock 480-800? I dont understand

So, that changing resolution? Is that works at all?
