I have a lovely picture of the wife and kids as my lockscreen wallpaper, but when I get a call the contacts photo comes up across the middle of the screen, with the options to answer in the bottom third. The top third however remains the wallpaper picture and this makes for rather a confusing image when you glance quickly at the screen.
Are there any options to get it to not show the wallpaper as a background when someone is calling? (apart from changing to a different lockscreen, or removing the wallpaper?)
cheers

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

I can't seem to use a static wallpaper that fills the screen in portrait mode. If I try to add my own from a hi res picture it hangs for a few seconds then returns to the standard green leaf background regardless of which paper I had selected. The standard ones aren't big enough to fill the screen. Live wallpapers are fine though and fill the screen. Has anyone else noticed this and is there a work round?

Same here. I got CM10 installed and managed to get a nice full-screen background made from my gallery that was downloaded from Interface Lift. It is VERY annoying, as the standard backgrounds are smaller than the 1920x1080p screen, so I'm left with a black screen.
Any help would be appreciated!
Hi folks.
I am having a really odd thing happening to my home screen icons.
I have searched the viper rom threads and HTC one threads but can't find anything similar.
I decided to put a few icons on my homescreen in a grid. (see first pic)
When I go to select any icon they all jump to left. (see second pic)
If I go into apps and back to the home screen the icons return to the original position...
The other odd thing is if I try and select the far most right icon it registers as a press on a blank screen. (ie it takes me to the widget selection screen and not the app I selected. It seems as if the grid is messed up and registering hits one icon off.
Example, if I try to hit settings icon in first pic it registers the people icon...
Anyone have any idea what is going on?
If it helps, I am on Viperone 3.5 Rom with the 4.06.1540.2 firmware,Hboot 1.5.5 and I'm S-OFF.
Thanks to anyone who can enlighten me on this weird behaviour!
Anyone?
Anyway, I've found a workaround for now if anyone else has this problem...
I removed blinkfeed and added a blank screen where blinkfeed would have been and it stopped happening.
If I add a blank homescreen to the left and put icons on the screen next to it (my main center screen), this jumping around stops.
Weird but it seems to work.
Can somebody tell me the purpose of this grey shade at the top of the status/notification area when you have a pure black wallpaper it only shows in the home screen
I have noticed the same thing. It's for sure not burn in.
I also have it and so does my wifes not sure whats the cause for it
Here is a screenshot of a screenshot showing the grey bar in the center and nothing at the top when viewed on a solid black background.
Edit: I only see it while on the home screen.
Go to the theme store, find the black wallpaper, apply it.

Use a live wallpaper like simple or multipicture and set the image you want to get rid it. This is the only thing that has worked and trust me I've looked hard as it was driving me crazy
Yes use ....multilivewallpaperpicker from playstore...works like a charm...
Hi - I have always had Galaxy phones and I create Contact shortcuts for all my friends that I use to quickly dial or text them.
I used to just use the Contact Widget and it would create a shortcut with a photo of my friend (I had uploaded those).
On my S23 when I do that its creating the shortcut but on top of the photo, in the corner, is an ugly, distracting orange mini-Contacts app icon. Looks terrible.
This never happened to me in the past and I just cannot figure out how to create the Contact widget without these ugly icons on top of them....
Thanks!
EDIT: Added links to two different HOW TO videos. The first shows how it used to look (no orange contact icon on the shortcut). The second shows how it looks know with the highly annoying orange contact icon imposed on the contact shortcut. Thanks!
