Is it possible for someone to make full screen widgets like hero? I think they look really good
Hi,
i know it has been asked a couple of times and a lot of people are against it since they dont care about looks, only about performance. Others say they dont want their phone to look anything like an iPhone but this feature is just great.
But is there a way to get the fancy rotation animation as seen on 1.5 on 2.1/2.2? Cant 'we' just modify the sourcecode in that way that is does this animation?
Hi,
I'm trying to get dark-ish wallpapers for my "theme". But what I would really like is to have (or, if need be, make) a wallpaper for my Samsung Galaxy S (SGS) which is different on multiple screens. Meaning image X would be on the default screen, image Y on the next screen, and image Z on the third screen. SGS is an HDMI device...I think that is relevant. Anyone know of existing wallpapers which lend themselves to this type of setup?
edit: I'm using ADW Launcher. I'm also guessing that such wallpapers would need to be tailored to the number of screens, as swiping the screen moves the wallpaper a different amount depending on how many screens... but I don't have a specification on how much that amount is. Ideally I could get a wallpaper which would display a different image accross 3 - 4 screens.
You need to Multipic Live Wallpaper.

I sort of think this should be included in a sticky how-to thread, as this is a great tool / method for theme makers. This is awesome. I was looking for this for a long time. Thank you for answering the question.
You know...it would be even cooler if you can set the lock screen image within the multi-picture live wallpaper app as well. But that may be asking for too much.
Again...thanks!
No problem. I hope you enjoy it. I know I do.
My boss and I are having a little debate/bet:
I argued to him that the screen off animation (like the old tube style tv television turning off) was PURPOSELY animated so that the colors appear to separate as the animation progresses before the screen turns off, while HE insists that this effect was not intentional, and only looks that way because that's how screens work..
Does anyone have a definitive answer on this? I'm 99% sure that I'm right I just cant prove it with fact..
Thanks!
LOL hehe sure its just animation Ask him where he saw phones with CRT display ? And why on so many phones before Gingerbread release they didn`t go off like that? And after flash Gingerbread they did HTC unfortunatelly removed that animation in their SENSE roms :/ So we still have no animation on gingerbread I wish i had display which goes off like that Its very nice effect novadays for people who remember those old TVs
I lol'd too hard.
Hi to all.
I cant find a solution to my problem and maybe someone can help me.
I have found some wallpapers for our Note in the right resolution (800x1280) to use these in my lockscreen.
The problem is that when i choose a wallpaper with lot of black color and choose it as lockscreen wallpaper i can see some horizontal lines on it.
If i choose the same image as phone wallpaper everything is ok.
Where is the problem?
Thank you all.
I have the exact same issue. Horizontal lines on lock screen, but looks fine everywhere else. I don't have the solution, but maybe I can help you out a bit.
I did some searching, it turns out that there's some sort of software bug that doesn't allow black images to be truly black but rather very dark grey. The thread is somewhere in this forum.
Also the native lock screen resolution is actually smaller than the screen resolution because of the notification bar. Per this forum: http://androidforums.com/htc-hero/37268-lockscreen-resolution-compression-issues-false-info.html
Also when you set an image to be the lock screen, it seems the picture is re-scalled and saved again (in another directory), which means compressed again.
Android phones usually don't display images in 24 or 32 bit color but rather 16 bit color, which means color banding. More on that information somewhere in this thread also.
My suggestion is:
1. Find out the native lock screen resolution. I'm also searching for the figure.
2. Edit your photo, change it to that resolution, and make sure the black areas of that image are truly digitally black (000000), and save it as an uncompressed image.
Maybe the horizontal lines are because the image is being re-scalled, re compressed, and the image being displayed at 16 bit color with a "true black but" is resulting in horizontal lines.
The solution is this. I'm using it and black is perfect.

Not bad idea at all...I have used widgetlocker in my previous phones but somehow i had some little problems like small lugs or battery draining.
I dont know if in the latest version is fixed.
But ill try cause i love black lockscreen in our huge super screen...
edit:Not working properly for me cause i have lower destiny...
Ah, what a shame! But WL does work, so if you ever go back to the stock density i highly recommend you using it.
Magick locker is free so you can test that, get a theme and customize wallpaper, set any black image and its fine. so its samsung lockscreen software bug
