i9000 wallpaper

hi guys,
i'm using a 800x480 picture for my wallpaper but when i select it to be my wallpaper, i'm given a orange box to select the area I want. But isn't the resolution correct?

Yes, but you have to disable the "wallpaper scrolling" feature to have a static wallpaper. Not sure where you find this in the touchwiz settings as I'm using launcher pro, but should be an option somewhere.

No, the correct resolution for wallpapers is 960x800 pixels.

The wallpaper should be 960x800 to be the correct size (to allow for the scrolling to new screens).
When you apply the wallpaper, you need to hold your finger on the edge of the box and drag so it enlarges.

curious why you say it has to be that large to allow scrolling
mine's 640 X 480 and it's still 3 times larger than the orange box (before i resize it up) and fills all 7 home screens and scrolls across em fine
resolution is actually great -
i'm trying to learn something so the question w background is for real, not trying to contest
the first picture is what i uploaded to the phone, the white box in the 2nd picture is what displays as the wall paper

Paint.net is a pretty good free picture editing software. Could also check out Gimp.

hi all, how do i disable the scrolling? i can't seem to get 800x480 nicely on my screen.

Question about Camera app

Hi, I was having a play with one earlier - and it appeared that when you take a picture there is no way within the app to see the picture you just took? You have to exit out and go into gallery?
Is there a way around this? Ta

There is an list of latest taken photos on right side... You can even expand it & then it shows all files in image-folder...
Take a look:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

Thanks, I thought it strange there was no way to do this. Buy the model I was playing with (three uk branded) definatly didn't have it - must be different rom versions?
Thanks anyway

Remember that you can flash a normal non-messed up rom from the dev section,
like my orange uk version, is now a on the global rom minus the orange bloatware

If you swipe the thumbnails to the right, they will disappear... if you swipe from the very right edge of the screen toward the centre.. they will come back!... same with the menus on the other side (but in reverse!)

Is it possible to remove compression from our phone? Try to take a picture and the size only around 700kb when i use 8mp setting.

you can use vignette off the market - but in the tests I've done it doesn't really improve the image quality very much at all.. and actually in some shots I preferred the stock camera's results.

yeah, i like the result of the stock camera apps. But when i transfer the file to my PC and zoom it, the quality still not too good because of the compression. that is why i'm trying to remove the compression.

Wait for my MOD once we get root
I will add photo preview too

Is there any way to have multi shots option???
To press camera button and take 3-5 pictures in a row...
I miss that capability....

Fitting Wallpapers

I'm looking for a good background on the screen, if I open the screen setup I see a square block instead of a rectangle block,
if i use a 1280x800 image is always cuts off a part of the image.
does someone know the resolution of the square box?
of does anyone have a link to a wallpaper pack for the Tab 10.1?
Greetz...

I been struggling with this same issue since day one. I too tried using the same Res wallpapers with the same issue lol. Soo I did some experimenting. For me what worked was a combination of two things. First off I use 1280x1024 wallpapers and I use quickpic to apply them. Here's some screenies to compare gallery and quickpic..

This image I'm sure ur familiar with. Nice n square and not cropped as we want it to be.
Here as you can see the crop toll within quickpic fits the rectangle horizontally quite perfectly and only cutting off the image at the top and the bottom. This is something that has become quite acceptable to me lol. Well I hope this helped

Wallpapers that fit
I too was having this problem. Even using Zedge would render blurry, non-fitting images. After some trial and error, I found PicSpeed wallpapers (https://play.google.com/store/apps/...1bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5zcnNkZXYud2FsbHBhcGVycyJd) and everything that I've loaded from there has been cropped and adjusted properly. I did find that I get my best results by picking the default settings, which is the one that allows the wallpaper to scroll. Not my app at all, but it solved this problem for me.
Good luck.

best solution till now for wallpapers i found
i use app in google play called wallpapers bay to get nice looking wallpapers with tablet resolutions and save them as download them then use app in google play called simple image wallpaper to set them i enter the app from from live wallpaper !!! and then find the name of installed app then enter it enter setting and browse image in gallery then set it sooo decent looking

[Q] Edit pictures without losing image quality on LG G2?

If you shoot a good photo in a special moment, there is maybe a very small part on top of the picture which you would like to crop out, to make the photo perfect! But: If you do that, you will have the following issues:
It reduces the size of your photo - means you loose quality
It will remove the location from your photo - you can't remember where the exact point of shooting was
the photo will not stay in the right sequence in your gallery
maybe you loose exif information
I tried to edit my photos with:
Built in crop
QuickPick
Photo Studio
Photos
No one of them did a good job. Any suggestions from you what the perfect App would be?
Cheers

Snapseed is my favorite by far of the bunch. Very easy to work with with its swiping setup. The photos will be placed in the correct order you only have to move them to the original camera directory with a file explorer after editing them.

@defcomg. With that app you can't crop!

[Q] Unknown symbol in stock Gallery

Hello everyone,
I've started to notice that when viewing some images in the stock Gallery app a symbol appears over the image (and also in folder view). This seems to be related to images with a specific ratio between width and height, but I wanted to ask if anyone has a more detailed explanation of it.
TL;DR: Help, my Gallery app is playing tricks on me.

Click on it?
It looks like panorama.....or maybe the movie view thing in Apple products.

I've forgot to mention: tried tapping, holding, frowning at it, but to no avail. Doesn't seem related to any motion feature/eye control, etc.

it simply says that the pic is a panoramic picture

That's what I was thinking, since it needs a specific ratio between width and height, but it applies to any image with that ratio (not only panoramic photos taken with the camera). Problem is, it stays there all the time, and sometimes I have to zoom in and out and move the image around in order to read the text in it.
Can it be disabled? Or what's the purpose of it, really? I can tell by myself that it's a panoramic shot, no need for it.
Thanks.

You're on panorama mode. Click on mode and select a different mode.

No, I was talking about the stock Gallery app, not the Camera. Still, it's not in Panorama, but Auto.
That symbol appears in the above mentioned conditions only in the Gallery, regardless of the Camera settings.
But thanks anyway.
