I am really confused. I just downloaded an image in 1080x1920 which I want to set as my wallpaper.
I can display it in gallery and it appears as I would expect, filling the screen perfectly. However when I try to set it as wallpaper in settings, my One wants to crop the thing.
Any ideas why? My googling is failing me, just keep finding stuff saying get images in 1080x1920 which I've done.
Beamed in from my HTC One.
The way I do it mate is find an empty space on your home screen the press and hold until a menu pops up then click choose wallpaper then choose gallery and that will let you choose how much to crop or just play with the selection tool so it doesn't crop anything

There you go, I just saw the crop window and hadn't even tried to expand it out to the full screen. Too early in the morning to try the bleedin' obvious I spose. Sorted - thanks mate.

On my Home screen it displays the weather and I am wondering where the setting is to have it display the temp in F instead of Celsius
I've looked everywhere and can't find it.
I would also like to install the iPhone theme. I did a search but came up with conflicting info on what to install.
Thanks
Have look for HTC Home Customizer (HHC).

I'll help you out on the weather part since I was easily confused at one point. In the screen where you select your City, the right soft key will take you to Weather Options, select Fahrenheit from that menu.

Thank you. I found it.
This phone does SO much more and has so many more things to set up then my SDA did so it's taking me some time to figure it all out. lol
I though because you didn't find it staight away it must be in the 3rd party customizer software rather than in the Config options.
Google for HTC Home Customizer and you will find it.
I really should have installed HTC Home and looked for myself before guessing

I got these apk's from several different places, mostly from OpenEclair rom so shoutout to that team. They all install and open and there are FC's here and there. enough talk, let's see what does and doesnt work then
GenieWidget.apk
gallery_flan.apk
Music.apk
DeskClock.apk
CarDock.apk
http://bit.ly/9eJm9u
Problem I have with the music app is the fact when I lock it, I dont have the convenient play/pause, forward, and back button on the lock screen.
Gallery is great but don't put it in landscape mode! All you get is a distorted image when you do so not that bad (I'm guessing it's a screen size issue?). It did force close when using the camera button tho.
Gallery is pretty sweet, a little slow at first, but for sure an improvement over the stock gallery.
Gallery FC's on me consistently. It asks for permission for the google account.. I hit allow and it FC.
If you guys have anymore apk's let me know and I'll add them to the list
Does anyone else get a FC in the Desk clock when they press the settings button? I get it in LS and PT.

Mine works in both landscape mode and vertical mode. You just have to have it orientated that way when you start it up. If you move it from one or the other, you get the distortion.

Didn't know that, I also assumed it was a screen size issue. Thanks

All the pictures I try to use have to be cropped like crazy and come out all pixelated, including the ones it came with. Any ideas?
Get Best Wallpapers by Swiss Codemonkeys. Its free in the market. Good selection.
I don't think it's the image, since they are very high quality. It's like they get downsampled or cropped to a tiny section.

It's a known problem when using non-stock launchers.
I believe there was a workaround, but I do not recall what it was.
Don't set the wp from the gallery. Long press on the home screen and select a 1280x1024 image. At least that fixed it for me.
Use the free app -
Wallpaper Set and Save
Your nice resolution will be preserved.

Interesting, gonna try it...
I think the reason we have the issue with the wallpaper is that what ever we use to crop is meant for use on smaller screens at a different rez.
Another theory I have is that the system is really at that other rez 800x480 then it's "upscaled" to 1024x800 (don't quote my numbers, but it's the general idea).

+1 for this. The specific answer post is: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9816964&postcount=8
Tested and worked on my Nook with multiple backgrounds
w00t! I'll give it a shot when I get home. Thanks for all the replies. I am using the gallery app and the zeam launcher.
Glad it wasn't just me!
Ya know, maybe a "Tips & Tricks" thread is in order to keep track of all these little things that keep popping up.

If you are using the regular Gallery app, there is an alternate way to do this:
Gallery
select picture
Select "menu" button (at the bottom - tap if it isn't there)
hit the "more" button
select "set as"
Select to use "Wallpaper" if "Set picture as" comes up (it will have the app source name as com.cooliris.com)
Drag the border by the corner to cover the entire frame
save
exit home
Just picked up one of these beauties (truely samsung paid attention to the iPad), aside from the annoying lack of a micosd slot (and touchwiz, really has no dev wanted to make a touchwizless rom? haha)
Can one remove the screen shot button from the launcher? frequently when I type or go to used the "recent list" I accidentally hit it, I must have 20 screen shots in less than 24hrs!
thanks!
Bump. I wish they could have given you the option to disable it.
Still waiting for a dolution to this myself. Tried launcher replacements like adw ex or launcher pro but nothing
Ok if you freeze com.sec.android.screencapture (search for screen in case i spelled it wrong) in TitaniumBackup it disables it, however the icon will remain.
Not perfect but a workable solution until cm9 arrives for us!

Thanks Ill try this. I don't mind the button but a screen shot out of context can make for an embarrassing moment. Especially when your girlfriend picks up the tablet.

That is true because I turned it off on my 8.9 LTE but damn if I can remember how I did it.
Currently Skyrocketing into Android Space!
none that I've seen under "screen", I am on a custom rom, Overcome
You can freeze it with Titanium Backup. The button remains but is inert, so you're not taking random screen shots willy nilly.
I think the Tab Plus has the functionality to disable/remap that button, it's not on my 8.9 LTE or 10.1 WiFi.
Yes I mentioned that fix earlier, strange they have it in the tab +. maybe we can port it over.
There is a setting in the display area. I changed mine to an apps key. So it now does the same as the apps icon in the top right corner.
Took me a while to figure it out but under settings go to screen and configure the Quick Launch settings.

This setting may be unique to the 8.9 LTE version that I am using.

It was...when I flashed the AT&T firmware, I got the setting option. Win.
Downside, I also got all the AT&T bloatware, and an older version of Market.

For Android 4,go to settings, select display, then select quick launch and then select the desired option. You can replace the screen capture button with something else or just remove it.
Got this from Sakitech on Youtube... A big thankyou to his show...
Go to stock Gallery app, Hit the 3 dots on the right hand side (around the middle of the screen) to bring out the menu.
Go to Settings>About Gallery.
On the word "version" under the Gallery heading tap 8 times, It should show a count down, to activate Gallery Labs.
Go back to menu and at bottom you should now have Gallery Labs with a whole heap more options including some UI 2.5 options...
Enjoy....
thanks a lot it works
I saw it on some comment on his videos a few weeks ago and been using it since then.

No problem, thought it might be of interest, haven't seen anything about it on the forum...
Also supposed to be able to get photo editor labs when you take a live focus photo, go to the gallery, pick the live focus photo then edit to go into photo editor. You then hold the sticker icon for at least 5 seconds and the photo editor labs comes up with the option to change the depth view of the sticker.
Did work for me with an older version of photo editor but did a factory reset and I'll be buggered if I can get it to work again...
Was a great feature... Hopefully it will make it into the photo editor in a future update...
