Does anyone have an idea why the default Gallery app doesn't show full-resolution images, but rather a crappy down-sized and heavily compressed images instead?
I've tried some other gallery apps, but I really like the look and transitions on the default app - everything is good, except the resolution :/
Also, if you have any other good gallery apps to try out, I'm all ears. My problem is that I need to carry with me a very large amount of photos (several thousand). I've downsized them to fit into 1200x1200 resolution box, but when viewed through the default app, they suck immensely.
I believe that is Android's fault. The stock android gallery downsizes all pics. If there was a similar gallery app (transitions and look) but with full-size pics I'd be interested too!!!
Same problem here. Though it's still far from perfect, the best viewer I've seen so far is JustPictures!, which can handle hires images quite correctly.
I have the same problem and as I am a photographer and use the Tab as my portofilo I have found on the market for free the app Large Image Viewer.
That will display the images as I want it to see.

Indeed. Stock Android apps suck at any decent media viewing or editing. Its also why every photo editing app downsizes your edits to a pitiful 1024 resolution. Its an OS limitation I believe.
Um, Google. What the hell is the point then in better cameras & higher resolutions if you're crappy OS can't handle editing them??
Someone buy Google a clue.

Does it work for the tab?
I had to root first to remove the old gallery before installing the modded gallery.

Yeah, same here - a photographer After that I've uploaded most of my archive in a resized, but still high-res mode, and saw that horror on the screen... Bah! I'll check out that app, thanks!
Photog here too... the modded gallery looks like a nice option, but I've been using the app called just pictures from the market(as mentioned by obi4d above)... it allows you to specify the maximum res for zoom viewing (up to original size), and for the most part it is very smooth and clean... a hiccup every now and then with 18mp 300dpi jpegs, but it's free and doesn't require root... it also can connect to several photo sites (flickr, picasa,smugmug, even facebook etc...) to remotely display your galleries much faster than the browser...

I use Number22's Gallery3D app, which fixes the sensor battery bug and provides full resolution picture views. I also use JustPictures from time to time.
What about EXIF data. I know 'JustPictures' displays EXIF but what about 'Large Image Viewer', does it too show EXIF material?
If so which is considered to show the greater additional material?

DAMN..... That is so important to me.
Looks like I'll have to install JustPictures! for EXIF data.
Can someone post an example image so we can test various gallery apks?
I have installed the molded gallery from the SGS Toolbox but my images look fine (as did they before this).
I fail to see the problem.

I've tried resizing and everything it just gets blurry when smaller size when bigger size its clearer but the pic still isnt scaled to hd2 screen am i doing something wrong? is there an app that can claim non market pics and claim and get them to fit? i have all these epic pics but they look like **** unless i get wallpapers from market
thanks
your images should be 960x800
upscaling can make them look bad, make sure you are using a fairly big image to start with
You should check out an app from the market called "crop wallpaper ". It does what your looking for I use it all the time.

same here, the wizardrii worked great, exactly what i was looking for. tnx guys.
I download wallpapers off of interfacelift.com, which resolution should I download them for, for this device? Every wallpaper I set is blurry (aside from LWP's and stock wallpapers). Camera pics and other ones are blurry.
I've been using 1280x800 wallpapers but I still get zoomed in poorly cropped wallpapers unless I use the stock ones. You could try any HD picture and use an app like wallpaper wizardrii to scale it nicely

I tried that one but even with a single wallpaper and no transition, my tablet lags. I don't get lag with a standard wallpaper though. Maybe I'll need to re-try and play with settings

Hmmm which ROM are you using?
Set to "no transitions" here, and not experiencing any "lag", however it does take a second or two to initially set the wallpaper on boot up.

I don't know if it's just me, but every time I try wallpaper wizardii, at first, it fits nicely, and there is no problem, but after a few hours, the tablet becomes laggy. Especially the home screen transition is very laggy. Same goes for Multi live wallpaper. Although this one is laggy from the start.
I just couldn't believe the high rating of the apps. And I'm guessing it's only me who's having the problems..

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but here's the solution...
Download Wallpaper Changer by j4velin. Download whatever wallpapers off of interfacelift (I use 1680x1050, but other resolutions should work), put them onto the SD card. Add the wallpapers to the rotation. There ya go. Note that this app has a "Change wallpaper" widget. Add that to your desktop for quick wallpaper changes.
fwiw the default Res on the stock wallpaper "default_wallpaper.jpg" is 1920 x 1408
Crazy but true.
Hey guys,
quick question.
I make a wallpaper from my own picture cropped to 800x1280. Perfect right? I load it on my tablet it looks great but when I set it to wallpaper it forces me to crop and doesnt get past 1/4 of the picture vertically. I thought the resolution was that size? Am I missing something here?
Thanks
Pinch out to resize the crop window.

Ther iz a simple way.... go to system- framework- frameworkres.apk- draweble- ther iz a wallpaper called defaultwallpaper.png.... reset ur wallpaper to dat size.....
Hit thanx if i helped.....
Sent from my Micromax A60 using xda premium
I cant access that file to find out the size. Do you know it?
And to responder#2. I didn't mean a simple pinching of resizing the crop window. I got that. What I meant was it won't let me "pinch" out all the to my 800x1280 picture. It limits my selection area.
BTW I had this problem since day 1 of android usage. I just never cared enough to ask since phone displays are so small, but being this is my first tablet..a wallpaper makes a difference now.
Does anyone else know what I'm talking about?
Go get your own favorite 800x1280 picture. Download it, save it to gallery. And set wallpaper..you will not be able to set the ENTIRE image as wallpaper.
Figured it out.
http://androidforums.com/asus-eee-p...83827-no-more-forced-cropping-wallpapers.html
basically, download PicSpeed Wallpapers
Then when you set your pic as Wallpaper choose picspeed. And they offer different orientation.
Thanks man that app worked like a charm

Picspeed worked great for me, no more weird cropping on my wallpapers.

So you can see what it will look like in both portrait and landscape.

And all the 1280x800 wallpapers everyone said is correct for Nexus 7 are no good either, can't use the whole image The cropped parts are just too zoomed in and don't look high-res.
I'm having better luck using my 1920x1080 wallpapers on it.
I would recommend searching for 2560. It yields results for both 2560x1440 and 2560x1600.
This is where I looked for mine.

If you don't use a launcher that rotates, you can use Wallpaper Wizardry from the Play Store to set the wallpaper to use the whole 1280x800 image. If you allow your launcher to rotate to landscape the image will be cropped and have black bars on the sides.

wallpaper wizardrys black bars in landscape are what annoy me, i wish there was a solution where we could crop both landscape and portrait separately in stock Google
