Viewing Flash in full screen

With the Nexus One if I load a flash video and press and hold on the flash content, a expand icon would appear to make it full screen. I can't seem to get this expand icon to appear on JPO flash content.
Any ideas?

[Q] 5 screen preview

Hey guys. I went from a G1 to the N/S and it is amazing how much android has improved.
Is there anyway to get the wallpaper to display in the 5 screen preview when you hold down the app drawer button? It already displays widgets and icons just not wallpaper.

Long touch on any free space on the homescreen and the wallpaper option should be there

No, not the select wallpaper option.
If you press your finger and hold it on the app draw button for a few seconds, you will see a popup of 5 desktops. Each is a screen capture that shows your widgets and shortcuts. It does not show the wallpaper in the popups. Does anyone know a way to get the screen captures to display the wallpaper along with the widgets and shortcuts?

You used to be able to long press the dots near the bottom to see the preview, should still work.
Or just install launcher pro which you should be using anyway, no reason not to, and you get the preview function as well.

Yeah, it does. You can do it either way. Long press the app drawer or the screen switching dots.

Do you REALLY need to see the wallpaper (that you're currently seeing in the normal screen) as another tiny wallpaper in the little window previews on the bottom of the screen? LOL.

Does flash video from the stock browser play in proper full screen? Or do they still have the bug that always displays the top notification bar?

Finally I can create appointments in Exchange Calendar marked as private

Don't know.
Doesn't do on YouTube atleast

Do you know when this will be available through Kies? Nordic.
I just got 2.3.4, but battery sucks, so I'm not happy. If I'll have to wait a long time, then I guess I'll have to learn to deal with Odin and rooting...

How's the Yellow Tint?

I don't know if it's me or what, but when I unlock my phone I see a flash image of my homescreen and then the lockscreen appears.
Happenning to someone else?

Yeah i got that too!!

Battery usage link under applications was always there.

i think the vibrate icon is NOT a bug, i think they changed that to!
because..
when you put your profile on Ringtone+ vibration, the vibrate icon appears right ?
now drag down the notification bar and put it on silent, you wil get an icon of a speaker with a \ stripe( a new silent mode icon?)
so i think they did this on purpose, as i have never seen the speaker icon appear when myh phone needed to be silent( not that i ever put it to silent, but i have never seen this icon!)
Grtz

Can someone upload the TwLancher.apk from this firmware please????

This has happened in 2.3.3 and 2.3.4 for me also. I think 2.3.5 was better..just in my case anyways. Could be that the phone is running a bit quicker

hey guys, if i use the browser and browse to www.wieistmeineip.de (german ip identify and speed test site) and stay there for some seconds my browser just close and go to homescreen... same problem by anyone else? Maybe some Webelementbug?

Ya, it does it on all stock builds I used so far.

Any improvements on the gradient colour banding with 2.3.5?

Lockscreen Wrong Size

I notice right off the bat if I wake my phone by pressing my lock screen, the widget I'm using (not just Calendar) is condensed. I need to manually drag the square down to see it in its entirety. However if I scroll across to other widgets on my lock screen, they are all the proper size. How do I set it up so I can see the full view of my center widget whenever I unlock my phone without touching the screen?
To be clear, I want picture 1 to look like picture 2 the moment I wake my phone. Is this possible?
Edit: I'm running stock vanilla Jellybean

It's not possible running stock. It was designed that way because the bottom half of the screen is needed for your unlock pattern.

You'll need to flash a custom ROM. They do this so you can unlock your phone quickly without having to drag up the widget.

[Q] Way to set home and lock screen wallpapers without cropping?

Hi guys!
I have been trying to set home and lock screen wallpapers without having to crop them, I want to use full images.
I tried using many apps - stock gallery, google photos app, picspeed, many ' pic2wallpaper' type of apps from play store..but none of them seems to work with our beloved note 4.
I have some 2K and 4K images that I want to use as wallpaper. But even the default images provided by samsung are cropped when selected as wallpaper.
Is there any other app that would autoscale the wallpapers to fit fullscreen, or maybe a specific size that we can manually resize the image to get the perfect fit without cropping(and the tool to be used to resize the image, if any)?
I am sure you awesome people here have already tried sorting this out
Thanks a ton!

Anyone?

Photo Grid
This may take several steps, but I am satisfied with my lockscreen now lol.
Download/open Photo Grid from the Play Store
Select Scrapbook (This will only work in Scrapbook mode)
Find the picture you want (You have to save the picture somewhere first if it's not in your camera roll)
Touch the picture. Then, in the lower right corner there will be an arrow going in a circle and it's blue. Hold down the little blue circle to stretch the picture out as tall or as wide as you like.
You will still be able to see some of the background, so touch the background and click on the Background button in the lower left corner. Select background of your choice.
Select Ratio at the bottom. Then, select the ratio 3:5 or smaller if you like.
Touch the picture again and resize with the blue arrow if you wish.
Then, hit save in the upper right corner.
I just thought of this, so I'm sure there may be an easier way. Let me know if this works for you, if you have already tried it or have found an easier solution.

Will try your suggestions. Been using Mont Blanc wallpaper for now lol

Try taking a screenshot of the full size wallpaper you want to use and then use the screenshot as the wallpaper.

Use image2wallpaper or slideshow hd live wallpaper
