photoeditor vs. china.photoeditor - Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

anyone get this before editing an image?w
selected an image from the Album gallery, went to edit it. got a dialogue box with two options: com.sonymobile.china.photoeditor (which is the "standard" one that came with the Z3c, and that i have used before) and also com.sonyericsson.photoeditor (which has similar functionality -- frames, filters, cropping, etc. -- but more control/options)
just noticed this, must have been the most recent Album update? i guess one was to replace the other, only Sony's update didn't do that ...?

I have the same thing. Did you get rid off it?
*UPDATE* : I managed to get rid off the China version Go to Settings,Apps, to the tab All. There is an Album app, but if you go down the list you see three different album icons as well. One has the same icon as the China photoeditor looks like, the album icon with a pencil in it. That is also the only one you can uninstall. I first cleared the cache before uninstalling it, but I think you can only uninstall this one and it will work. FOr me it did!

There are two photo editors. The second one (with a lollipop design icon) is better for cropping images as it lets you set the whole image as a wallpaper. I think you should keep both

Changing Background for Xperia Panel 1

Hello! I have a quick question for anyone who is willing to help me out here..
I have already searched and found a topic on changing the default background for the sony ericsson panel 1, which states you have to replace the 10v and 10h files in the programfiles\panels\SonyEricssonPanel\images with other jpeg images.
Here's the thing: I tried and it did not work. I have backed-up my originals, took them out of that folder, and replaced them with my own jpeg files, same resolution as the originals, tried selecting another theme, tried changing panels, and tried to soft rest, and somehow, the panel still comes up with that same default background.. :-(
Please someone tell me what I'm doing wrong, very much appreciated!!
I'm just a newbie, but changing the background photo on panel 1 I just opened explorer, opened up my photos folder (it works on both internal and external memory, tested right now), marked the picture, chose "set as background", set opacity and voila I have horses running!
(white horses and white letters in the menus, so I changed to another theme from "settings - today" that gave black letters)
(my menus are Norwegian, so I'm guessing what they would be in English)
thanks for the reply,
I already tried that and it didn't work. The only place I see somewhat of the picture I chose was when I press the start menu. It's like a background for the start menu only and the panel background stays the same.
Anyone else have any suggestions?
google for pocketpc theme
get the tsk themes you like
put the tsk files on your ppc
cloose the theme in settings->today
using
"use this picture as the background" is not enough
colours for text and bars are defined in the themes
Ahh, thanks for the help but unfortunately no one understoon my question!!
I wanted to actually modify one of the existing panels. Panel 1 is not the normal today screen, it is the one that displays the clock and calendar and the quick function buttons.
I wanted to find out how to get that default color-laser looking background out and replace it with my own so that way i can still have the quick function icons on the bottom, but I already figured it out.
It seems you have to tap the weather information to get to the screen where you can change your background color, and that lets go of the cached background image after you've replaced the 10v and 10h files.

How do I apply wallpapers without hideous compression?

As we all know, the CoolIris gallery on the Nexus One makes compressed versions of the pictures it has for faster loading times and smoother 3D effects. However, I was not expecting to see the same hideous compression on the wallpapers I download and then apply from the Gallery. They look simply rubbish in the display and that's disappointing. I've attached a screenshot of how this actually looks. The actual wallpaper is actually quite crisp and sharp.
Is there any other way to apply a wallpaper without using the gallery and consequently having it compressed?

Nope, still looks compressed. Any other options?
Bump. Anyone?
link me the full size picture (upload somewhere) and i'll try a few things here.
The only solution i have found, was to add the wallpaper i didnt want compressed to a launchers default wallpapers. I use ADW, so I replaced the default adw wallpaper with the htc sence wallpaper (the static one). Had to make sure it has the same file name as the one its replacing. I originally did this using metamorph, but that stopped working, so I use "App Manager 4.5" (google it). I copy the AWD Launcher's apk file and use app manager to unzip it, I then replace the wallpapers I want and use app manager to recompile the apk making it usable on the N1 again, and it works like a charm.
The sense wallpaper no longer has the hideous compression it has when applied through the gallery, I was hoping this would be solved with froyo's release, if only to be applied to wallpapers only, but I guess not, till then, this is the method I have to use for the wallpapers which are affected.
I use "My Gallery" to avoid the wallpaper banding issue. It by-passes the 3D Gallery when choosing an image to be set as a wallpaper. The troubles with "My Gallery" are 1) it cant crop the image to fit the phone resolution. So large images must be pre-cropped. 2) The image organization is horrible. It doesnt have any function to go to specific directory. It'll just dump every image it could find on the SD or internal mem. If you have loads of images, there'll be a lot of scrolling involve.

[Q] Scrolling background problems

Hi,
I searched but I couldn't find posts saying how to fix this.
I had a background image of the NYC Skyline which I got off Zedge app, saved it and applied it. My background would scroll through the 7 screens. A week later I found another NYC Skyline dusk picture and I decided to download it and apply that. However when I did, it did not scroll, it was just a static picture.
So I decided to go back to the NYC Skyline (original one) that did scroll, when I applied it, it no longer scrolled.
The only ones I have now that scroll are under the "wallpapers" section of my phone, however all the ones I downloaded from Zedge under Gallery->"wallpapers" category no longer scroll.
Why did this happen, what am I doing wrong? How can I fix this.

[Q] HTC one has two option for set the wallpaper

Hello everyone, I have recently upgraded my HTC one to the latest version of android and sense,
Today while i was trying to change my wallpaper, after I go to gallery to choose the photo, after pressing Set as, it gives me options, but the weird thing is that it gave me exactly two options for Wallpaper where one of them is set a square wallpaper which looks like ICS android and the other one the normal size of screen for cropping the picture, has anyone has the same issue or know what the difference is?

Actually, via: settings > display > wallpaper (think those are the names in english) there are also two options called "wallpaper", both with different wallpapers in it.
The way you describe (set as in gallery) I found it is probably because we now have two gallery apps (the standard one and the Google+ one)... but I'm not totally sure about that...

ty dude, but i think it is not the case, because it is looking for the wallpaper in the same folder in the gallery, the only difference is in the crop resolution of the picture and I tried both and couldn't find any differences.

Proper wallpaper ratio in lockscreen?

When trying to set an independant lockscreen wallpaper HTCs gallery insists on cropping the height, despite the lockscreen wallpaper space being the full 1080x1920, this results in a zoomed in wallpaper on the lockscreen for zero reason. When setting to use the same as the homescreen it uses the full 1080x1920 wallpaper no problem/distortion. I'm using arhd 71.1 w/ the sense 6 toolbox, I've been through all the settings, tried all the xposed modules that look relevent; even tried something developed for another device to unrestrict the crop bounding box but I think that was supposed to work with the aosp gallery. Everything that sounds remotely promising ends up back the the HTC gallery and it's restricted bounding box.
I'd be happy to manually change settings and files somewhere, just cram my desired wallpaper in where the system will look for the lockscreen wallpaper and reboot; if I had any idea where to look or if that's even possible. I'd even be happy to put the time in writing an app/mod, except I've zero idea how - "how to dev for noobies" is something I've never come across here, and not for not looking.
Any pointer in any useful direction? Please?
