Default Wallpapers bug - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Got some problem with wallpapers.
After experementing with some ROMS, my default wallpapers have this strange noise;
I tried to install another ROMS, but this noise still here.
Is there a way to full reset wallpapers?

Whats the problem? They all look like that, or are you trying to say that its blurry ?
If so I would try to get another version of that image from the web, http://images.cyberimg.com/android/2012/06/28/jellybean_wallpaper-650x541.jpeg
Try downloading that and swapping the image out.
If the "Noise" persist, then I don't think their is anything wrong with your image.
Hope this helps.

So compare
tau . rghost . ru/40813681/image.png (dont forget to zoom)
and
cdn01 . androidauthority . com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/wallpaper_01.jpg
Difference is more noticeable at png.
By the way, when i fresh install any ROM, this wallpaper looks normal, but when i set this wallpaper again in wallpapers menu, it has this noise;

The two images you linked to here look identical on my screen, they both look fine.

I wonder why you can't see the difference.
plasmon . rghost . ru/40817332/image.png
Please, look at this fragment. I ask my friends about it, and they said that they can see this "noise".
Also, i have a simmilar problem with whole screen. It seems that between the glass and the screen is dirty. It makes simmilar effect on the whole screen, but its not noticeble as this wallpaper bug. So difference between images you can see on any display.
It's all very weird.
Sorry for my bad english

Okay, now I see what you are talking about!
It seems like the one on the right was saved with a lower color depth producing noticeable dithering. I can't tell you why the same image would appear differently with different ROMs though, I have no idea.
I could upload the default wallpapers for you when I get home tonight if you would just like to restore them though.

Thank mate, but i want to fix it permanently.
Is there a way to do a FULL wipe, really FULL? Lol.

So anybody know, where is stock wallpapers folder?

Updating to 4.1.2 didn't fixed this problem.

Hi, I sure hope this doesn't count as thread-necromancy, but my search didn't lead to any other results (except this guy here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1817956 - an even older thread.)
I just wanted to confirm this issue, I guess. The stock wallpapers really turned from (more or less) crispy clear to a grainy mess.
I bought my Nexus 7 on release here in Germany, first half of September iirc. Everything fine, no hardware issues at all.
Some day, the OTA Update to 4.2.1 turned up, I confirmed and installed it. The new dropdown settings are cool and all, but...
Yeah, the stock wallpapers got all noisy. The update somehow messed them up.
I use the green one on every Android device I own, so there's no doubt. Noticed it the second the homescreen became visible.
I have no idea why Google would reduce the quality, if that's even an intended change. And, yes, you can simply download the "old, good" version and set it as wallpaper, but it remains a weird issue. Hey, at least we are not imagining it.

What I want to know is how he got the clock/calendar to stay static on the background and not move when he swiped to the other homescreens - unless those were static images that were part of the background wallpaper. Great effect.
OK ... just a guess here, but having done some looking around, I think that is Typography Wall live wallpaper. It takes some tweaking to get it set how you want, but once you do, it just sits there on every screen. Had it on my DX, didn't like it that much. I think I like it now.
Very Nice
Thanks for showing us some of the things you can do on the xoom. Enjoyed.
great video. Its only going to get better
*waiting patiently*
I do have to say that I lold when that flash page didnt work..

Please fix your typo for the appname( there is only one d)
The only issue I've had going this route is that when using WW is that it "repaints" the screen and resizes while reorienting....it doesn't just flip...it's annoying...
There's no more issue anymore. The latest Asus Transformer update version 8.4.4.5 (Android 3.1) features the new wallpaper crop tool which shows you a preview of how the wallpaper will look, so you can adjust it properly.

I agree there is a preview with 3.1 but you are still unable to use the full image. This app allows the entire image with 0 crop
Doesn't work for me, still crops. Multi picture live wallpaper works perfectly tho.
Neither of those apps worked for me like I wanted...each introduced new issues that weren't an acceptable trade off for me.
I resigned myself to just getting wallpapers from the web and using "set as"...that seems to work nicely and not crop anything.
There isn't a wallpaper issue!
It's you the users fault for having/trying to install wallpapers that are the wrong resolution
I have about 25 wallpapers installed at 1610x1280 and never have to crop any of them, ever.
It works well enough for me. Thanks for the tip.

I couldn't FIND any pre cropped at 1610 x 1280...I had to pre crop them in picasa and then set them as wallpaper...
Where did you find ready made wallpaper at that resolution?
Does this issue still exist though?

Not when I tried it. It only had a "burp" while reorienting...like a temporary fritz while it figured out what to do ...
I stopped using it because of that.

This issue has been bugging me, I will try finding / creating backgrounds that size. Thanks for the tip!
even creating images at that size I still have cropping issues
Works for me too. Thanks!
Still a fail for me. Croping an image thats already too small into a smaller part that looks grainy..(kind of like trying to type into this forum in Dolphin HD) just doesn't work for me. I just go to the web at someplace like alphacorders that you can pick resolution long press and save as wallpaper.
3.1? Still doesn't look ready for prime time IMO

[Q] Low Quality visuals on sense roms?

Every sense rom I have tried has problems with banding in the images and apps and widgets. It looks low quality. Also on widgets they have black lines that run diagonally through. Can I fix this?

did you verify the md5sum beforehand?
what is the md5sum? and yes full wipe every time. its not terribly bad just annoying. its almost as if it isnt fit for our screen

[Q] HellKat Rom Question.

So I am posting this here because my username is too new and I can not place this on the correct forums.
I downloaded the HellKat ROM [ http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/development/rom-official-4-4-2-hellkat-mako-t2606098 ] The ROM is working just fine, except for one miner thing.
and I did mess with the DPI settings in the interface a bit, just to fit more items on my screens. When I change the wallpaper to one from Gallery, or the built in ones, the paper saves as super zoomed, and way far to the left. I am wondering if there is anything I can do to fix this? Can I use the app settings app? and change the android wallpaper cropper DPI settings? I am left confused.
I came from a 4.2 Jelly Beer build, and it was not like that. I am sure there is a easy fix for this, This ROM is my new daily rider, although I have not updated it due to others experiencing issues with later builds.
I thank you for your help, and for taking the time to read this post. If there is any way to have this moved to the correct thread, it would be greatly appreciated. I would like to make sure the correct dev reads in to this.

My solution was to install Holo Launcher HD. It may or may not work for you. In conjunction with that, I use Quickpic to set the wallpaper.

Thanks so much... I will give them a try.

I did not change to holo launcher, i enjoy the modded trebuchet launcher that comes in the ROM. I changed my wallpaper with you other option and I think it is the same still.

If you have the zoom fix settings then it will solve the problem. This is what keeps me from using any other launcher.

I do not have that setting, maybe this is just something I have to deal with until the creator fixes it...

U need to use a different launcher the gallery default DPI is different that the dpi your using.. U can try wallpaper apps that have scaling build in like picspeed.. But just download nova and you'll be fine
