I was wondering if there was a way to use your camera as a live wallpaper so it would just show what your camera sees in the background of your phone so it would look like your phone is transparent
One already exists. I haven't used it so I don't know how good it is but its gotten good reviews. Here is the link.

http://news.uk.msn.com/photos/week-in-pictures/photos.aspx?cp-documentid=157028871&page=11
I've been looking everywhere but can't find it
Much appreciated.
Sick Pic I couldn't find it in a Google search, How 'bout leaving a comment and asking?
Well, here is a little bigger picture: http://msnbcmedia1.msn.com/j/MSNBC/...2-libya-week8/ss-110413-libya-01.grid-9x2.jpg
But what do you mean by ''wallpaper picture''? Bigger resoultion? 16:9?

Larger resolution I guess, because unless your monitor is 728 x 483 or even close to that the picture is going to be stretched and blured, Might be alright for a phone's resolution but not PC
I think if the picture was streched, it wouldn't be so bad. Maybe just me.

Anything a bit bigger really, around 1024x768. My screen resolution is rather large but that sort of size should be ok when stretched.
Good luck getting it. Your best bet is to contact either AP or the author of the photo, and I don't think they would let it go too easily. lol
Lol, worth a shot. I've emailed the author and will get back to you.
In the meantime, if anyone's found a bigger one, you know where I'll be
Imagine... Default OSX wallpaper on a 27" iMac
I have spent the last several hours downloading wallpapers from 4walled.org for my phone. The wallpapers look so nice on the computer, and I really wanted to start theming my phone with them.
So I've loaded up the 300+ wallpapers to my SD-card, and as I start browsing through them in the gallery, I have realized one immutable fact: they all look horrible. The gradients aren't really gradient, they're splotchy.
It was my understanding that this phone's LCD was capable of 24bit color? Perhaps it is not and this is where my woes are from. I have also noticed that .PNG backgrounds do seem to look better than the .jpg counterparts.
Any comments or wisdom into selecting backgrounds would be greatly appreciated.
I just looked at some of those images and they dont look that high quality to me. Maybe your monitor is older and made them look better than they are. Check here for some more. Maybe you will find some you like. http://wallbase.cc/start/
Look up "wallpaper set and save" on market, it will eliminate the color banding you get when you set a wallpaper through the gallery app.
Also make sure the resolution on any wall you get is a minimum of 960x800.

I use fish bowl photo which will also eliminate the banding. dodol wallpaper maker works great for setting portrait wallpapers too.

Thank you for that site, I always used Interfacelift.net. Nice addition.
I regularly raid DeviantArt for backgrounds and use Wallpaper Wizardrii to set the wallpapers. WW allows you to set a properly sized background without cropping.

Do you prefer that over the Fish Bowl Gallery? And does it support high-resolution images?

I've never used Fish Bowl. I only just started using WW today, but I would think that the no crop feature would only work on a wallpaper that was at or below the correct size for the display.
its all about nik.bot.nu thanks for wallbase.cc tho, another site to lose large chunks of my life too lmao
I get my wallpapers from socwall.com. Thats where I found my current wallpaper.
Thanks for all the links and the info! I will surely check those out!

This.
Wallpaper Set and Save will fix what you've described, including the gradients issues you've mentioned.

I did a little searching on the forums but havnt come accross a post that has the correct size for a wallpaper size that wont look all pixelated and terrible when applied. ive tried 1200x1024 and even 1900x1024 it all looks pretty bad. Any information would be awesome! Thanks
No offense but didn't look to hard. The VERY first page of Themes and Apps section has the thread your looking for, with all the details you want. In a nutshell there is no REAL resolution, but that thread has the solution and it works very well.

No worries, if you could see my face that was typed with a smile. We're all here (well most of us anyway) to make this awesome device more usable for everybody, i don;t mind helping at all. Didn't mean to come off rude if i did

Give Multi Picture Live Wallpaper a try, free in the market. Has worked 100% for me.
Rodney
Install QuickPic (free) and set wallpaper with it. It'll keep the image nice and sharp.
example: http://k.min.us/ib6DuE.png
It's also a great image viewer, faster than the gallery and easy to exclude certain folders.
Agree with previous post. Greaet app.
Quickpic does a good job for Portrait wallpapers but fails badly at Landscape. Ive tried everything possible on the nook for a locked landscape setup and the best result ive had was gathering a ton of pictures, slapping them into a folder, then selecting that folder inside a app called Wall Switch from the market, and just keep switching till a razor sharp one shows up.
I know its not a proper method, but after a while, at least one of them shows up super sharp and high-res and looks amazing. Wish i could be more precise, but thats all i got.
I love what you did

Eozoon, I wish you had posted how you arranged such a nice looking layout. Does anyone know what he used? I would love to know.
*EDIT* I found out where the battery and disk widgets come from, if I find out anymore I'll update my post.
Calendar widget
CPU widget
Folder icons
Battery % widget => Mini Info
disk usage widget => Mini Info
Toggle widget
Launcher/theme
I forgot what the clock is might just be beautiful widgets. Sorry I used to know but this ins't much help.
The cpu widget is SetCPU.
Not sure about the others.

Calendar widget - I assume you mean the clock? That's Simi Clock, I also use Simple Calendar Widget for the actual calendar in an other homescreen.
CPU widget - SetCPU
Folder icons - Simi Folder
Battery % widget => Mini Info
disk usage widget => Mini Info
Toggle widget - Widgetsoid
Launcher/theme - ADW, default theme, I think. Wallpaper from Wallbase.
Thanks for the info. Now I can get mine looking spiffy.

Search on the market for an app called "Image 2 Wallpaper". It's given really clear images and allows for different scaling options.

It looks like a burn in but it dissapears in the app drawer and is visible on a screenshot. Got it like a month or so ago. Only visible against a black background.
Any ideas what it could be?

It would be much easier to spot any problem with your display with a uniform dark background. The current black background with non uniform white patches is a bad choice.
Here is my own. It cant be a burn in as its visible in the screenshot and disaperes if i watch a video, look in my gallery ect. Only visible on homescreen.

Not screen burn, software issue.
Set the same wallpaper with a live wallpaper app like this one

Bam.... Fixed

So you have to download ANOTHER app, just to mask an issue, which can be truly fixed by using a different wallpaper? That makes no sense.

What? "Another app" implys you've downloaded one in the first place
I think your mistaken in thinking his wallpaper has the gradient actually in the image, it does not. It happens with any black wallpaper !
This has been happening as long as I can remember on my Sammy devices... It does not effect live wallpapers therefore you set your wallpaper with a live wallpaper app that lets you choose your own image.
That's all

Sorry if I misunderstood. You linked an app to download, soci assumed you were saying he needed to download an app to his device.
I have a Galaxy S7 Edge, two S8 pluses, and the Note8 I'm using right now. I actually have a black wallpaper on it now, and no distortion or funny light.
As I said it's his wallpaper.

OP hope you see the fix and no need to worry about your screen being damaged. Cya
Wait.
Are they talking about the gradient looking thing at the top of the screen? That's normal for the statusbar to do that. There's an app called L Speed (for rooted devices) that lets you disable it since it's a RAM flag that creates that effect.
If it was screen burn-in, we wouldn't be able to see it in a screenshot, lol (which they do, but because it's software related, baked into the phone's settings).
