Hi guys,
I've got this weird problem with the standard camera app on CM7 Wildfire. I've been using the MIUI camera for some time and thus used Titanium backup to backup and remove the stock camera app. But now that a HVGA video option has been discovered I wanted to restore the camera back. However, after successful restore, the background image of the camera app (the blackish pattern) is missing and it is completely white. Apart from that the app works fine. It's not a big issue, but it's quite painful for the eyes watching into so much white color while recording video.
I've tried to completely remove what titanium backup restored and put the original Camera.apk from the CM7 zip file into /system/app using Root explorer, but it didn't help - the app still works, but has white background.
Any idea how to restore this without reflashing whole cm7?
Thanks very much for any advice.
Cheers....
do you by any chance use a theme from here? I use the iMatte (or something) theme for nexus posted here, which also themes my camera and the background is indeed pure white (the video/photo choose button is grey and blue in case we would we talking about the same thing, and the "take photo" button is round and red)
in case you are using such a theme, then the solution to get black back is to not use that theme
Yep, I'm indeed using iNexus matte theme - it never dropped to my mind that it could cause this. Thanks a million for making it clear.
Cheers...

I recently asked in the Themes and Apps forum about making wallpapers and was told that I should ask in this forum about the size to make a panoramic wallpaper, but I was also wondering if there's an option somewhere in android 2.2 to turn off panoramic wallpapers and even stop the cropping (i've made some wallapapers with the screen's size and it still crops)
I use Wallapaper Set and Save from the Market
Tried it and it didn't seem to want to work with my phone for some reason.
Sorry, i meant xda's android general forum =P. There are more modders there.

As far as I know there is no option to turn off panoramic wallpaper in vanilla android. But in ADW Launcher there of course is this option. Google the needed size...I think I once did and found. But I'm not at home so I can't tell you right now.

I google'd for the size and got lots of different pages with different sizes @[email protected]
Look for M2 on http://www.gsmarena.com

I use Multi Picture Live Wallpaper to have different pictures on every screen. You can set a folder to rotate photos, or even a single picture on one screen... quite useful
It still wants me to crop the picture, even when I made an image at 25% of screen size on my PC. that's just annoying.
If you can use photoshop, you can do this:
Get the image you want as wallpaper, already trimmed, and paste it inside a square image with just a background color (preferably with a color from your image). When asked for cropping, crop the whole image and ask for no panoramic wallpaper. That should work for portrait mode. M2 screen resolution is 854x480. In order to get a perfect image, do this on a square image with dimensions bigger than 854

it doesn't ask for cropping, it goes straight to cropping. but thank you for the advice, I originally did a photoshop image of 480x854
And all you need to do is create a folder called wallpapers in the root of SD card and install Wallpaper Set&Save.
Open the ap and press Set Wallpaper. It show the wallpaper from the catalogue you created above. You can scroll through them. Press Set Wallpaper when you see the one you want and it's done.
DO not say it dos not work for you, because it does work. I have been using this for a year and a half, first on my MS1 and now on MS2.
When I said it didn't work for me, what I meant was that it wouldn't run for some reason. I'll give it another shot (I reset my phone to factory settings after I screwed something up)
HI all,
So I'm at a loss and hoping someone could point me in the right direction. Installed Alliance ROM onto my Verizon Note 3. So far I'm quite impressed with the ability to customize so many aspects of the interface. But my noob status working with android is causing me to get confused. I'm encountering a UI element that is used in popup menus that currently is displaying white text on a light grey background (as seen in the attached images) Could someone show me where to find the adjustment to change that UI element is?
Also I was a fan of the ability to swipe and launch the camera on the Stock ROM, but I was able to set my preferred app on stock. Don't see anything listed under Default Applications, also when I look at the stock camera's App Info, the Clear defaults button is greyed out. I'm unable to choose which app I want to launch since installing this ROM. I found a workaround by setting Shortcuts to Custom and selecting my app that way, but I liked the Stock ROM's grey button as opposed to using the apps actual icon.
Thanks for any help you can send my way,
Josh
Anyone have any ideas about the grey background. I'd appreciate any help, thanks

In AllianceRom Custom Settings under Colors, go to Background -> System and you can change the background of most system apps/menus, it is a universal change but you can enable/disable apps effected in the Whitelist menu.
Thanks for the idea! I'm trying but still can't seem to get that gray background to change. Any other thoughts would be appreciated.

You could try wiping cache/davlik in SS, or try flashing a theme like All Backs Black. Other than that the only other thing I can think of is wiping/flashing the rom and starting over but that seems like overkill.
From what I know, I asked the same question in the ROM thread and the answer was this is a bug they are gonna have fixed in Build 2.
Thank you so much guys for the ideas and info. I was going crazy trying different combos of settings to get it to change. I'll look into trying a theme. I was already flirting with the idea of having to try doing a full reinstallation. But if its a known bug I can deal with it, the benefits of using this ROM so outweigh the annoyance of the grey menus. Thanks again!
Hello everyone,
I'm have looked online and I can't find anyone else that is having the same issues. I have a Verizon S5. On downloaded images from the internet or sent to txt (stock sms app) i can see the full color of the photo for a split second then it looks faded. If i hit the back button it flashes its normal color real quick before backing out of the photo. I am using the stock gallary app not the G+ gallery.
Thanks
Hi , on my Verizon S5 it shows shadow image of my apps on home screen , Its not that visible but if I look closer I can see them.
any clue to that and how to fix it .
thanks

Try holding down on the icons and moving them. If you can, remove them from the screen and re add them. If not, try disabling any xposed modules (if you have any that could effect the home screen) and look at it again. I don't personally use the touchwiz launcher and this never happened to me, so these are just guesses. Also, I noticed you have a strange colored Google app in your bottom bar. Did you do anything to the icon, and if so did you possibly break other icons while doing it?

I did factory reset my phone and still see these , is there any software to fix that or this is a hardware issue .
is this called a burn-in issue or it is called some thing else .
thanks for replying .
Are those applications actually there software wise? If not, then it would be a burn-in, where the screen has the images "burned in" and can't be removed. If they are there you could try flashing a stock tar using Odin for whatever build you want.

yes , they are software wise and if you look very good in the pic you can notice the whatsapp shadow on the screen , also I had flashed the stock.tar odin rom many times and they are still there , if this case is a burn-in issue what software would you suggest to fix because I tried all the softwares on the playstore and they didn't help .
thanks

The only other thing I can suggest is to take your phone to Verizon and see what they can do. They might have to replace it.
having same issue in MotoG3
I got this phone(MotoG3) 15 days back, it worked fine for a few days and suddenly I noticed that a "Whats app Shadow" is coming on my home-screen, it was hardly noticeable at first but then it became darker and darker, I replaced the phone thinking it might be a software issue, and got the same handset today itself, it worked fine but again as I installed whats app the same shadow problem appeared, I uninstalled it and it started to work properly. Am not sure where is the problem, so please help me out.
About the shadow issue:
The home screen of whats app appears in my wallpaper and also above all the other apps, a transparent shadow kinda thingy, I hope you people got what am trying to say.
Thank You
I also have the same issue on my redmi note 8 but in my phone i doesn't shows the shadow of the icon but but the shadow off appa inside when I use anh app
I have the same issue on my Pixel; the shadow apps aren't directly on my home screen, but when apps are opened. Perhaps due to Google system.
Hey guys,
I flashed a Note 4 ROM onto my Note Edge, in order to make good use of the entire screen. (So that the curved part could also show content.)
Everything works flawlessly, except for the camera interface. As you know, the screen resolution of Note 4 is 1440x2560 while Note Edge 1600x2560. As is the normal case on the stock Note Edge ROM, the camera interface which is 16:9, should have shown on the left 1440x2560 area of the screen, alongside a dark bar on the right 160x2560.
But now, just the opposite, the interface shows on the right and dark bar on the left. However, the real problem is that the touch area doesn't correspond to the display area. That is to say, the touch area is on the left side while interface on the right. When I touch the shutter button on the screen, it has no response, I have to touch 160px left, and when i touch to focus, it actually focus on a spot on the right.
I tried several means but none worked:
1. I extracted and copied the SamsungCamera3 folder using a root explorer from the stock Edge Rom to /system/priv-app/, granted right permissions to it and to all files in it, restarted the phone, but then camera Fc and I had to restore the folder back.
2. The 'adb shell wm overscan' way is not an option either, because it would affect all other normal apps. Is there a way to change the display area only for a specific app instead of whole?
3. Tried the Xposed Module 'App Settings' to change the display resolution for the camera app, no effect.
I know some of you guys have experience of developing tweaked TW ROMs compatible both with Note 4 and Note Edge or porting a TW ROM from one totally different device model to another, so how did you solve this kind of problem? How do I make the camera interface display on the left?
Thanx in advance.
You should just replace a copy of the camera app from note edge room using xplore in rooted mode, perhaps Mickey room or Batman room.

Hi, Alboooz, thanks for your reply. Like I've mentioned, I tried this method, but camera FC. I have no idea why.
photo added to describe the issue
Show me the normal functioning of it.
Hey don't know the solution to your query but would you like to show us how you use the entire screen to show content. That must be looking cool....

Here you have Note edge Samsung camera multi dpi, you shall copy this camera app named as is in the same folder name
in here; root/system/priv-app/SamsungCamera3/SamsungCamera3.apk and set the permissions correct, go to system application settings and clean data and cache, you start the phone i recovery mode and delete cashes and reboot your phone, it should work.
This camera file must be (SamsungCamera3.apk) name.
