I'd like to use the 'Galaxy' Live Wallpaper with my 'Galaxy S' phone. Ironic, isn't it, that it is not included?
Is there any way to get this otherwise stock wallpaper?
Look in the market.
Precisely the first thing I did.
I searched for 'Galaxy Live Wallpaper' and 'Galaxy'. I couldn't find it searching for either.
Are you certain it is up there? If so, what is the exact name of the download?
Why don't you rip it out one of the N1 or G1 roms out there and try installing it like a regular app. Not sure if it will work but worth a try if you really want it.

Does anyone know how I can change the fonts in Facebook back to stock? I installed some apps and when I was done, the fonts in facebook, as well as google maps have changed to this hard to read tiny 7 segment led display looking things.
I tried this in another forum but i think this is a more general issue and not a Rom issue.
Thanks,
Jeff
That's one of the reasons I got ride of it and there are many many reasons to get rid of it number one reason being it sucks...
www.lite.facebook.com via Opera is a million times better.

Yea, I agree, that app does kinda suck, but the pickle of it is that the fonts also have changed in my Google maps, not the text on the map, but all of the search results and gps loading test up in the upper right corner.
I don't get it, they were fine before I installed one of the many apps I usually use.
Thanks,
jeff
Just an FYI, I had this problem too... The font looked all straight and boxy, terrible quality, almost like a very old terminal font... However, all of the sudden one day it went back to regular. I dont know what I uninstalled or whatever in the time being, because i didnt uninstall something just with that purpose, but it definitely did go back to regular after a few random uninstalls... unintentionally.
cool, thanks, that is exactly what my font looks like, like something out of the early 80's.

I know what caused these font's (both in Google Maps and Facebook) to change on my TP2 - installing TouchWatch2 (which includes the LCD font). I think the problem is actually in Facebook/Google though - I think they somehow link to their default font by number, not name, so if a new font is installed they end up using a different one than expected...
Not tried fixing mine though - I liked the 80's!!

That is a good hypothesis, I to love the touchwatch, but my fonts got buggered, I believe when I installed the gps cycle thing and that used nice rounded fonts.
I am hoping that someone on here can tell me where how I can install a different font in the font pool that these programs use so i can fix it, I really dont care about the Facebook being hard to read but the Google maps thing is really hard to read.
Thanks all,
Jeff
This happened on my Google maps apps some weeks ago and is related to a font called TRANGA__.TTF being installed which can be found in the Windows\fonts folder, along with TRANA___.TTF.
I think it may have been installed alng with the 'GPS Location' app but I'm not sure.
Today I renamed the TRANGA__.TTF as zTRANGA__.TTF then copied tahoma.ttf to Windows\fonts and renamed it as TRANGA__.TTF.
This has solved the problem in the Facebook app, which I had just installed, and Google Maps also.
HTH
Note: TRANGA__.TTF gives a digital display with all the bars filled in, possibly to indicate no value in the GPS app. I also replaced the TRANA___.TTF which is a digital style font is probably used to give the lat and long but I have replaced that also.
Hello,
I am currently using Tainted Vanilla. It has the stock lockscreen with a transparent background. How can I change it to a non-transparent background? Thanks.
I would suggest searching before you ask. There are threads about this already. It involves flashing new files and maybe some adb stuff if I remember correctly. Check the themes section or over in the hero cdma section if you're using a sprint based rom. A google search will more than likely turn up multiple threads on multiple forums.

You know, I did alot of searching on google and on this forum and cant find anything that is helpful. I am hoping someone knows how to change the nexus one lockscreen from transparent to non transparent.
I did find one zip with a lockscreen and a background but could not flash it. Anyone have the vanilla or nexusone lockscreen with a nontransparent background?

That one is the same one as the one he's using, it's just a patch to remove the HTC lockscreen. You can even see in the picture on the first post that it's transparent. It seems to work with EE with a background but its those stupid rendered grey blocks and you cant change them. DianeofArcadia found that picture in the system files but it cant seem to be modified to make it a different wallpaper. I asked the devs a few weeks ago and none of them seemed interested in helping figure it out and I dont know enough so if you find something let me know.
I flashed a hero theme over my aloysius rom that have the lockscreen a solid black background. I did read a site that has a method for making a background picture work. It pertains to the hero so I don't know if it would work for your vanilla rom. I just flashed a new rom so I don't have my bookmarks right now but I'll post a link tomorrow afternoon.
I figured google would turn up some results but maybe it's not as popular a topic as I thought. Sorry if I came off like a jerk
i'm also looking for this or a lockscreen that works with tainted that has the all the text removed. ex, carrier, clock, date.
Okay guys, this is what I found. Keep in mind that this is for the hero cdma so I have no idea if it will work for u guys, I haven't tried it myself, just sharing what I found.
Heres the link specifically for the wallpaper:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6221422&postcount=76
Here is the original thread, there are some neat things like removing text:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=665652
Once again, I don't know if this will work for you but it's all I could find. looks like quite an undertaking, if you guys get it to work let me know I haven't had time to play for a couple of weeks.
AFAIK, the Heroc fixes will not work on Eris roms. Don't ask me why, but that's from my experiences.
Thanks for the information rentjr, at least now some might have an understanding of why it is being so hard to change and maybe we can come up with something. ???
thread should be moved to Themes and Apps

yeah, i love the eclair lockscreen. back before root and these mods started coming out, I used lockbot pro to get the eclair lockscreen. lockbot pro will let you put a background though, as an alternative you could try that. I found it a little laggy for my taste but it might be good for others
Good evening all. I just recently received my Galaxy Tab 7.7 this past week. First off all I can say is WOW, the screen, size, weight, etc. absolutely an incredible little critter. Anyhow I was wondering if it is normal for this device to NOT automatically put my apps in alphabetical order? My Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus and my Epic Touch 4G do it but I have to manually do it on my 7.7 everytime I install something.
I havent tried it if it works on the tab with a touchwiz by look for an app called Appzorter, it works on all Galaxy based phones with TW that I've tried.
Get adw lancher ex.. it organize it for u in the drawer,plus its more efficient then tw. Wit it installed the tab seem much faster.
On my galaxy note on gingerbread w/ stock Touchwiz launcher it doesn't alphabetically organize unless you change the app drawer layout to "List". (The ICS leak ROMS for the Note do however) Waiting to get my 7.7 so not sure if it has a "List" option as my 10.1's and 7" on Honeycomb were always in alphabetical order like you mentioned, OP.
Like the poster above said get an aftermarket launcher and you can alphabetize them.
I am also trying to figure out how to do this. With my 6810, even when I organize them manually several of them go back to the last page on their own. Ive tried Appzorter, but for some STRANGE reason it shows as not available for my 7.7. but my EVO 3D can download and install it? So I tried to just copy the APK and sideload, but it just force closes over and over. Ive also tried ADW, but I dont like the top grey bar that is always visible on the home screen. Couldnt find any option to change that. Loving my 7.7, except for the ridiculous app drawer. Even the 7.0 plus I had auto alphabetized the app drawer, but my $600 tab cant?

You can hide the top bar on ADW.EX with the "swipe down action" under gestures. I think the one you want is "show/hide statusbar"--I changed swipe down to this, hid it, turned off the gesture, and it hasn't ever come back, including after reboots.
Nevermind. Sorry for the mispost.

AppZorter did the trick on my 7.7! Great little app. All sorted alphabetically!

I actually worked with the dev of the app to get it to work on honeycomb. I no longer use it because I use go launcher, but it definitely works great to sort the app drawer.
I have been trying out a lot of widgets to find the ones that meet my needs. The problem is that in some cases after I've narrowed my selection down to the one I want to keep, I can't figure out what widget it was! It doesn't have any About screen or other identifying branding. Which is good in one respect I suppose, but I have no idea what widget it is! Can anyone tell me how to identify the name and/or manufacturer of a widget that is installed and working on my phone?

Post a photo, maybe someone here knows it.
I have to say thanks to everyone in advance. I have looked at sites and posts about this question to no avail...at least it did not fix mine
My wallpaper is changing on it's own every hour or 2...at least. It changes to these wallpapers, and the wallpaper is SORT OF "black and white'ish" I have rebooted the phone. I have looked into the accessibility settings and saw nothing and in the display settings and saw nothing. I saw that it says something about possibly having set the wallpapers from the selection "on OnePlus" Well, I didn't. The box is unchcecked.
In addition, the wallpapers that mine are getting changed to are all getting changed to that material typpe. Not only that, but they are being changed in a way that makes them look sort of black and white, while staying color.
Any help short of a factory reset would be appreciated.

Is it any possibility that's it is an app that you have installed? I know it's most likely not the case but just thought I would ask just I'm case
You said that very nicely and that means as much to me as solving the problem so thank you very much.
I'm going to look into it in a little while or when I get up in the morning and I will get back on here and let you know thank you again. you give me too much credit anyway I don't even know the best way to go ahead and check that. Possibly just go ahead and take any apps off my phone that have to do with wallpapers and start from there putting one back on at a time?

Just trying to help
But yes definitely start with wallpaper apps, those can definitely be the problem. Also are you using a different launcher? I know Microsoft launcher has a feature where it changes the wallpaper every so often. Let me know and I'll be happy to help as much as I can!
I normally use Nova but not at the time. As far as the wallpaper apps go I realized a better way to go would be for me to open up each one of them and look at the settings so I could find out that way. and also I picked out the names of the titles that had material in it as in material walls since the images were of that type. Thanks again. (how is the Microsoft launcher? is it just basically a launcher that looks like Windows phone?)
These look like wallpapers by the Tapet app, there is an option in there to change the wallpaper every so many minutes, I would check to see if you have that installed.
NBH (and everyone) that was the solution
Thanks and Happy Holidays
