I know that someone posted a tread about this issue on XDA or some place else on the net, but for the life of me I can't find the thread now. I am trying to figure out why my wallpaper on my lock screen is clear, but when I use the same wallpaper for the Today screen the image looks grainy. Does anyone have a link to the thread that discussed this problem, or an answer as to why this occurs? I know this has been discussed before, so I apologize for bringing it up again. I am probably just putting in the wrong words in my search.

reaganh22, It was designed to overcome the exact issue that you're dealing with...the way sense doesn't display wallpapers you choose in full high-res glory. It takes a little learning, but it's awesome once you get the hang of it. Let us know if you need a hand getting it to work for you
Thanks so much guys! That was one of the threads I came across, but thought I had seen another one. It looks like this should do the trick though.
Hi Guys,
I've seen some discussion around the HD2's screen colour depth.
I've been doing some experimenting and have found that the colour depth is decreased when using a live wallpaper.
Im using the Darkstone's Froyo V1 Build with Cotulla's latest zImage. I havn't tested with the Sense build yet...
Give it a try :-
Set a Live Wallpaper
Now Add The Analogue clock widget, power control and Home Screen Tips widgets to a blank desktop.
Notice the Gradients of the widgets look blocky and appear low resolution.
Now apply a normal Image Wallpaper and you'll notice a real increase in quality of the gradients in those Widgets
I've taken screenshots to show you but when the screenshot of the Live wallpaper is looked at on the computer it looks perfect so must be an issue with the Way the HD2 is displaying it..
Here's the 2 screenshots :-

Dont read them if your not interested?
This is something that no-one has noticed so far and actually could be quite important - now why dont you go back to your 9million page thread and continue pointing people to post#4 like the real helpful fella you are eh....ffs
Yes, it's especially noticeable on the anologue clock but not on the pics you posted up. Didnt notice it at first. Sharp eyes you've got there. Lol

HD2 has poor colour quality from the get go, running multiple applications let alone an OS that is overlapping another OS on top of of multiple applications running in the background is bound to have more than some effects, least of all important right now being the colour. I have no idea what you're talking about, but perhaps a quick browse over the forum rules would be a good start, it isnt 9 million pages long so you shouldnt have too much trouble. The least you could do is post in a thread of whoever ROM/Android release you are using.

Yeah unfortunately they look normal on the screenshots i took for some reason which leads me to believe there's an issue with the way it's been displayed on the HD2.

First of all - the point of my post was to 'Prove' that the HD2 can display more then 65K colours as was first thought, if you'd read my post at all - what you've posted above is a complete nonsensical response.
This IS important as people 'like you' seem to think the HD2's screen is of low quality when in fact it isn't.
Maybe you'd have an idea of what im talking about if you took the time to read my post instead of 'trying' to be a Mod?
Maybe you should peruse the Forum rules and then you may in fact realise that i havn't broken any of them?
I wasn't moaning about it not booting, GSOD, SOD, No Sound etc i posted a unique 'observation' that may help in the further development of 'proper' graphics drivers for our port.
I also wasn't moaning about a bug of this particular build - so why should it be posted in the Thread for that build?
I just think some people around here have a chip on their shoulder and are trying to be something they are not - & you dear sir are not an XDA mod.
...whoa...nice...calm down guys...calm down...
Yep, no reason to get upset. I think that's a pretty interesting point you found there. Do you have any opportunity to store the screenshots into a lossless format? I really can't tell any significant difference from the two jpg´s you've posted there - been watching the two for about a minute and i can tell you that my eyes are known to color difference detection
i think it's better a thread like this than the 2348740860th always about "no booting, no sound, no radio, no android, no intelligence", all completely useless if the author read the forum form 5 minutes before posting, this thread is about a new "problem / symptom" and it's not useless... maybe it's not importante now to obtain 16m colors, but it's always something that can be fixed
on topic guys Dev forum not flaming
Keep it peaceful

i haven't really used an actual android phone (day to day) but im sure Google put that in there, because of Live wallpaper taking up CPU power thus lowering the quality of widgets.
EDIT: and the pics look EXACTLY the same (except for the wallpaper and time of coarse.)
but, on the device itself it is less quality, ive seen it before and thats why i use a static wallpaper.
Hi guys, yeah as i said in the post for some reason the screenshots taken directly didnt really show the difference for some reason.
I've taken some pictures using a camera and the difference is clearly highlighted here.
Cheers
Paul
I installed a live wallpaper on my Desire V5 build and noticed that the moon on the weather portion of the Sense clock (it was a clear night last night) changed color and looked a little more green than gray with the live wallpaper running. Don't know if its a bug or not, but it's just my observation.
Sorry to resurrect this ageing thread but it at least shows I bothered to search for it.
I seem to get this effect on some ROMS more than others, I also get it on the wallpaper itself but only for some.
I am thinking that it must be the wallpaper itself for me, it must be in a colour depth beyond the capabilities of the phone. For instance if I install the honeycomb ADW theme with the wallpaper enclosed I get this effect on the wallpaper.
Couldn't see any other threads about this, any ideas anyone?
hi
After playing with the touchpad and ipad I've really noticed how much you have to move your finger to actually scroll on the 10.1
Is there any setting to make it more sensitive?

hi,
all i can say is that i am using it, on my 10.1 v and 10.1, together with" ADW ex launcher " and it works for me.!!!
eg.
i barely touch my screen and can " swing " the icons around in a circle !
flicking from desktop page to page, is smooth and fast !
i have played with a ipad 2 a few times and its smooth, but i rate my 10.1v and 10.1 right up there !!( facts, according to me)
Finally,the customization, bit from android does/swings , it for me !to the 10.1
Just read the " relevant app " market reviews,and there is quite a few! ( nearly all are very positive reviews and i see the rating is 4.7 out of 5 ? ( if i remember correctly ?)
so all in all,
sorry to hear it does not work for you !
good luck

The Touchscreen Booster app does not work. Nobody cares about scrolling/swiping speeds on the home screens. That is not the issue.
The issue is scrolling in apps especially web browsers. Scrolling in web browsers on the tab 10 is the most frustrating experience you can have. It scrolls so slowly that you have to swipe up or down 100 times to get to the top or bottom of many webpages. Very annoying and frustrating.
Your Touchscreen Booster apps does nothing to resolve this.

hi,
plse read my post ,i gave an example about sensitivy ( in case you don't understand what i meant with ..eg ..abreviation ? Further i use it with ADW ex , ( not as a standalone ? )Further, i said read the reviews about the relevant app ( market ),etc .In general ,this is my experience and what i found.Above all, it is not " my" touchbooster as you state in your post "Your Touchscreen Booster apps does nothing to resolve this."
plse, if you have only negative comments ,don't also try and "attack/insult/etc "like getting personal ( "your ")
Keep to facts or your personal experience and thats it !
Above all " respect "other forum members ,who is only trying to give positive input to the OP question in post 1
lastly,
in my post no 3, i stated " give it a try if you want ?
good luck"
so i left the option open ,to take my advice or not !!
Again, the touchscreen booster does not change anything. It does not improve scrolling at all. It has no effect on scrolling at all. As stated before nobody cares about the home screens so I dont understand why you posted what you did. This thread is asking about scrolling not touch sensitivity. Touch sensitivity does nothing for scrolling.
Even with the app installed it does not change any aspect of the touch screen. It isnt even compatible with the tablet. Its just does not work at all.
hi , i am not interested in arguing with you .!
i stated over and over i use it with ADW ex and i believe it works for me .(you don't and i respect that )
just for your info,in post 7 ..eg..i said flicking @scrolling ?
and yes it is compatible see snip in post
lets move on and try give OP, positive advice
end of story .
thank you
again, that does nothing for scrolling. I dont understand how you think that is a solution when it does nothing for scrolling. Please explain how the app touchscreen booster improves scrolling in apps like the web browser. Please explain because I dont understand.
Thanks for your suggestion
I've installed both apps and scrolling in the browser is exactly the same
The home screen animations are different, but I'm not really bothered about this
Anyone else have any ways to fix this?
Can't believe there isn't more voice about this issue
So annoying!!!!

markdj57, please comment on the above and also where you've noticed the improvements
Its the one let down with this tablet, feels a bit of a chore to use for long periods where as the Ipad is a pleasure to use in this area
is this an andriod or samsung problem?
I think the touchscreen booster app does help with scrolling. Has a more "instantaneous" reaction like my ipad. Also the ipad actually flings the pages slower than the galaxy tab IMHO
I am away from tab but I will be back on friday evening, will do a few more tests then.

You should stop attacking people with your "I know best, just because I say so" posts.
He is trying to help, hell, maybe he is helping te OP, and you are clearly not helping at all, providing 0% contribution to this topic.
Stating your (lousy) opinion like "nobody cares" or "does nothing for scrolling" are merely your opinions with no proof whatsoever. (You have a reliable source, or is this just your experience?)
As far as I see you enjoy putting people down mere on their experience, as actually trying to provide helpfull information!

Does it work for S-pen writing some memos as well? It would be serious improvement if that's the case.

And the patch doesn't work in the note.

No. I've been doing pinch-zoom's in Gallery (which was where I noticed it from the SGS2) and don't notice any delays in finger recognition.

Alright that's good to hear. The problem might not affect all handsets.
Confirm the problem is there and even the app doesn't solve this, but I didn't really notice. S-pen in SMemo doesn't seem to be affected, but reducing to 0 the hyst still gives the "sticky" behaviour, which maye, or may not, be a con depending on the various uses.
so the way to confirm the problem if i understand correctly is to install the mentioned app and test for jumps in coordinates ?
Gnote
I have had my Gnote for 25 days, my device is way to sensative in certain areas of the screen with the S-pen only. i can hold my S-pen 10mm away from the screen and it will activate the apps or words. it gets annoying when im on a rush taking notes, it sometimes quadruple clicks on apps, i stop using my S-pen and get my screen dirty with natural oil smudges. Kinda Lame. Any way i am going to AT&T today to test a different S-Pen, or switch Devices.... Does anyone like the White GNote Vs. Black/ or blue?
Guys, here is a very easy way to observe the black clipping issue.
In your launcher settings, set your drawer to horizontal paginated and the transition effect to card stack.
Now, in a dark room, simply scroll through your app drawer from one page to the next....very, very slowly.
(This works best if you can scroll from a page full of icons, onto an empty one)
Watch the icons as they appear out of the black background, note how they are broken and choppy at first, only taking full form once sufficient brightness is reached.
I also have an sgs next to me, running ics sgs 4.2.... If I repeat the test the application icons fade away and reappear perfectly into the black background.
Its a very sad state of affairs......but it affects every galaxy note.......

The question here is, why do you want to sit in a dark room and slide through your ap drawer slowly? I am sure you must have better things to do, at least I do!!

I know, I dint mean it to be condescending. But if you searched, you would know, it used to be once oft discussed topic.
The recent CM9 and Stunner ROMs have subsided most of it, though some of it is inevitable. Samsung, unfortunately, dismisses it as normal. LOL
No offence taken. I'm aware of the history.
I'm keen to try the CM9 ROM, to see if it addresses the issue.
