Hi,
When i upgraded my phone to ICS, it used to set wallpapers as i crop them (at any size, any length or width) and it also appeared exactly the same size on home screen as i crop it. But now for some reason, that i dont know, it has stopped doing that and use the same method as before i.e. predefined length-width + zoomed wallpaper on home screen.
Is there any option or a method to revert back it to setting custom sized wallpaper?
Please i dont want any 3rd software to do this because i believe there must be some genuine way to solve this problem as once i restarted my phone and i got the desired wallpaper cropping settings. But now it restarting phone also doesnt help.
Please help me for this. My phone is not rooted yet. PLEASE HELP!!! Thanks!

Yeah i know. I don't like to use any other software then the built-in one. But in that case you can just flash some other rom or re-install the ICS stock one.....

Ok so I have installed the Live Wallpaper packages in this order (extracted from this ROM....http://db.androidspin.com/androidspin_filedownload.asp?release=166&type=1)
1) Live Wallpapers Picker
2) Live Wallpapers
3) Visualization Wallpapers
4) MagicSmokeWallpapers
So on Home++ or Home when you click Wallpapers>Live Wallpapers, and then when you try to choose a Live Wallpaper (even one from the market) it will say "The application Live Wallpaper Picker (process.android.process.acore) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again"
Any guesses?
I have one. Did you notice the Native Developement Kit for android was released? Meaning, more than likely, the live wallpapers rely on a C or C++ backend written with the NDK. So, enough said, it probably *wont* work without a custom ROM.

Okay, accidentally clicked to set Launcher2 as default while getting around the infinite FC's and reboot the phone. Now the FC's pop up without the option to change the default Home launcher.
Any suggestions?
Flash again?
Okay, I bricked my phone. Is there a method to unbrick?
I do not believe there is a way to unbrick your phone if you really have. How exactly did you manage that?

Reboot into the menu where you flash the phone. Only option was hboot. didn't want to do that. So after it read the image, menu was waiting for me to click the trackball to confirm <Action> Yes. Instead, I powered off. Now it won't power on nor even charge.
Yeah, sounds to me like you definitely bricked your phone. You can ask around more. But I Honestly do not think you can unbrick your phone. Basically its like your phone has no brain now and does not know what to do.

Okay, turns out that I dirtied the battery sensor and that was the reason for it not starting. So, not bricked!
But still I can't change the default FC'ing from Launcher2. Any way to get into the applications menu to change it? Recovery Mode doesn't work. Just a picture of an exclamation point and the android bot.
Must I flash again? Dang.
Im not going to try and recreate this one but when it loads to the force close try pressing and holding the home button and see if you can get into any thing else, if you time the close button right you should be able to get to something else...thats if anything else boots up with launcher2 set as default...
This goes to prove it doesnt work on these phones...

Tried. The small box in the center appears, quickly displays a message saying something to the effect of, "No Recent Applications" and then disappears.
BTW, other background processes are running. Examples, I get wifi notifications, login error notifications (Gmail), and I can access these and their settings, but I cannot find a way to get to the Applications Settings to change the default.
regis_star: You should be able to reinstall the 2.1 from your SD card as per the original instructions and it will fix your problem. Granted it will reset your phone but if you want it to be usable you may have to do this anyways.
Hey guys!
I'm wondering on how to remove the TouchWiz lockscreen because I'm about to use Lockbot wich act buggy with TW Lockscreen, it shows the TW Lockscreen before switching over to Lockbot.
Is there an APK somewhere i can remove to get rid of TouchWiz lockscreen (the one with the puzzle sliding etc.) ?
Thanks in advance masters!
Im in a similar predicament, i actually am using a passcode right now so it doesnt look like touchwiz

Thank you for your reply, the problem is I cannot use Lockbot now because the TW Lockesreen messes it up. Also on Exlair (Android 2.1) it is not possible to set up a passcode, FroYo is needed for that plus this won't fix my Lockbot issue either. I alreafy did some diging in the APK folders but couldn't really sort it out. You are on FroYo I believe? It is possible to set a SIM pincode but that doesnt help aswell.
PEACE!
The free app NoLock will remove your lockscreen entirely, if you press power/home to wake your phone it will immediately be unlocked. There are several apps on the market to replace your lockscreen with a different style but in my experience these aren't completely satisfying - sometimes the original lockscreen appears for a splitsecond, other times they're just not as responsive and may take a second longer for you to unlock the phone.
Regardless, just try searching the market for 'lockscreen' and see what you find. WidgetLocker is pretty good but not free.
Indeed I am on Froyo, I wasn't aware it isn't available on eclair. Well, if anyone else finds further development besides market apps that seem to slightly lag please help out!

This is exacly my problem, LockBot is one of these tools, it shows the default TW Lockscreen for a second before switching to LockBot Lockscreen, this is exacly why i want the TW Lockscreen removed
Oh and thanks for thinking with me
Download SGS INFO on the forum here install and run the app selecting set powerbutton action. Select the tickbox and this will permantly disable the lock screen until you select otherwise.
The beauty if this is that it doesnt use a 3rd party app to do this just provides a shortcut to hidden options within the SGS.
Hope this helps.

You can also easily revert back to the stock lock (...and two smoking barrels! ) screen by modifying the code in /system/framework/android.policy.odex.

i installed the app. but when i choose set powerbutton action, i have only this one on the list :
shutdown: enable to shutdown on end call long press.
thats not right or ?
which code must i enter to disable lockscreen.
and would it be the same code to reactivate the stock lock screen ?

when i tick off the shutdown option, then 3 things happen:
1. the question if i really want to shut down my phone is gone. (i think this is the real action, what it does)
2. when i restart my phone, the sim card is not accepted, its even not asked for pin. i tried 3 times, so its not working
3. the lockscreen is gone.
so i need an other option, maybe i will deinstall it completly.
or has someone an other suggestion ?

Hey Rambone!
Most of the times these apps don't work together with apps such as LockBot for getting another lockscreen. Will try it out tho, thanks for the heads up
Great job on your ROM's b.t.w. mate, really awesome! Keep up the good work!

After flashing 4.4, i am unable to change the lock screen wallpaper. Tried all ways and still no luck. Anyone has this issue? There is no "star dust" effect while unlocking too..

Same here, can't change lock screen wallpaper, got the star dust though.
The stardust effect only works when it's 'swipe' to unlock. Doesn't work with pin or pattern unlock.... Would've been really cool if they could integrate the pattern lock with the stardust effect.
I also can't change my lockscreen wallpaper no matter what I try. It's a good thing it's not an ugly wallpaper... But still really annoying!
Same here, cant change wallpaper, i tried a clean install but still this error.
Don't know what the problem is, I can change the lockscreen wallpaper fine whether I use a cropped photo or another wallpaper. I'm using the french update I received yesterday via SUS and I did a factory reset to be on the safe side
Yes same thing here can't change the profile picture from my contacts

I think we need to do a full wipe, as I did it on my Z Ultra. I got all features, changing of lock screen wallpaper, star dust, the Simple Home ect. Which did not happen on my Z1 after updating.
Try changing themes, which will alter the lock screen wallpaper and then try changing the lockscreen wallpaper.
Yea this is definitely a bug tried everything changing themes setting wallpaper from album and settings and etc and nothing seems to work
Sent from my C6903 using Tapatalk
After update repair the phone.
Repairing will wipe all data. I tried reflashing with just unchecking wipe data, the lock screen is back to normal, lock wallpapers can be changed and star dust effects is back too!!
Its left with the simple home, still not available. Perheps really need a clean wipe.
did a clean installation thru SUS, no lockscreen bug, im on generic CANADA

So the question is answered, factory reset solves all the problem. Hope this would be useful for ppl keep saying abt the lock screen bug!!

I just tried setting an image as my wallpaper. The first time I did it asked me to scale/crop it down to where I'd like it to be. I did that, and didn't like how it looked so wanted to go back and rescale. Well, every time I go back and try to set it as wallpaper again, it doesn't give me the option to scale/crop it how I'd like. What do I need to do to get that option back?

I've tried from gallery, from long holding desktop, from going to pushbullet, I've tried from "Photos". Literally everywhere. Did it the first time but hasn't done it once since (asking for me to crop/scale/zoom).

So going that way it brings it up and lets me zoom in by pinch zooming if I want, but it never brings up the little box that I can move around and scale the corners for cropping/scale as needed. It just says "Set wallpaper" at the top with a check mark to push and I can only zoom in farther on the image that it is.
(I can do the above in any of the previous mentioned ways as well, was just explaining more. Basically going through settings changed nothing and does it the same as any other way)
