Hello all, Ive spent a couple hours trying to crop a picture to make my background, but im having problems, when I crop the picture it looks blurry or its not centered on my home screen. I searched all info here on xda, i tryed apps that crop pictures and make whole images your wallpaper, i tryed resizing my picture in gimp, I used apk manager and put the wallpaper inside the stock ics launcher, I used CMwallpapers apk and put my picture inside. All no luck, im running ics/cm9 on my nookcolor, help is greatly appreciated!

Have you tried setting the wallpaper through the Album? I'm fond of using the slideshow in viewing pictures because pictures look better in slideshow view, right?
Now, i want it to be set as wallpaper from the slideshow mode, is that possible? it just looks good in slideshow mode, and i want the wallpaper to look just as how it is displayed in slideshow mode. Is it possible?
sounds like the slideshow thingy have a better resizing algotitme then just using today picture have
i sugest that you take the picture to your pc and work on it there with resizing and such and take it back to the xda and use it as "wallpapir"
the slideshow on the device cant do anything "magic" which programs on a pc cant do much better
Thanks rudegar,
Whats the image size of XDA wallpaper/screen (pixels/inch)? So lets say I already have edited it on my PC and uploaded back to XDA. how will I set it as wallpaper? the last time I used the Today option, it made my picture translucent, why is that? is there any feature there where we could stretch the wallpaper to fit the screen?
there is some registry setting which remove the translucent thing
i dont recall it though try search the forum
i would try some of the today theme creator programs they make it all pretty easy
Hi
Anyone know how to mod the News and Weather widget (genie apk) to not show pictures?
Im using an already modded widget (transparent)
and it looks lush on a black wallpaper, problem is that the pictures are lowish res and just take the shine off the overall look.
is it possible to stop them from showing somehow?
if anyone could point me in the right direction i would be most pleased.
thanks everyone
you could try editing the .png files inside.
pull it from the phone
open the .apk with and .zip program
look for the relevant .png files
replace each pic with a 1x1pixel transparent .png
push back to phone
if the alignment is out then you will have to use transparent .png images that are the same size as the originals. this will however leave a gap on the left of the widget that is empty (where the pics were)
Hey guys I am trying to make a custom wallpaper for my MT4G.
From what i understand, the phone is 800x480.
I have 5 "screens" (homescreens i think they are called?)
so each homescreen should be 800x96 right?
I am trying to make a wallpaper that will show a picture centered on each of the homescreens.
I can not seem to get it working.
I resized my initial picture to 800x96 and pasted it in a 800x480 new image 5 wide. It still does not look right on my mt4g.
can anyone offer any pointers?
The first picture is 500x500
The 2nd is 800x480 as described above.
the wallpaper does not scroll as much as the widgets and screens do
Hi !
I would like to extract the image of a live wallpaper, but I can't seem to find it.
Used apk tool to decompile the apk, and when I look for the image there's only a 256x256 thumbnail of the wallpaper in the res/drawable folder... How come ?
Another solution would be to modify the apk to make the wallpaper still instead of animated, but I don't know where to start. Is there a file I could modify to do that ?
Thanks a million for your help !
Cheers
It sounds like the wallpaper is generated entirely with an algorithm. Live wallpapers are actually special apps that run behind the icons.
A simple solution is to just take a screenshot of the wallpaper. You can select it in the Live Wallpaper picker and take a screenshot of it. Then, you can crop out the bottom area that has the Settings and Set Wallpaper buttons.
What wallpaper are you trying to take a still image of?
That's what I thought... Damn.
I tried to use a screenshot but it's not the same since it's smaller and can't cover the sliding effect. Better than nothing though.
I'm trying to get a still image of the "Holo Grid" wallpaper.
Thanks anyway
