Top and bottom of my homescreen is dark - Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Something weird I noticed on my home screen is that the top and bottom is dark. The middle of the screen is at the brightness I set it to but the top and bottom are darker. It wasn't like this before. I restored a backup on TWRP and my screen was back to normal, but after a few minutes it went back to the darkness on the top and bottom. Is anyone else experiencing this problem? Does anybody know how to fix this?

Go to your nova settings, click desktop and untick shadow option. That'll remove it

I am having issues with it trying to setup. It is not force closing but when I setup the button, when I tap it from the home screen, it goes into setting instead of just showing the apps I have assigned to it. Not sure what I am doing wrong or if it is a bug on Xoom.
Edit: The "Blur" option in advanced settings does not seem to work. Only shows black background and the circle centered in the screen is not really centered... it is too far to the bottom in landscape cutting off the bottom icons in the circle.
I did it looks great for me love it

Anyway of moving quick settings? I'd like a screen to the right and left of my default home screen.

Not with the stock launcher, you'll need a third party launcher for that.

i noticed this too...click on apps and then back and screen will be normal...
Pretty sure it's related to Page Buddy, which dims the screen in a similar fashion.

Whats up with the widget box to the left on the lock screen?

Does anyone know if that white widget box to the left of the clock on the lock screen is normal? I've never seen it before. Lastly, is it removable?

You can add multiple widgets on the lockscreen

I think the question is why does the area show up highlighted for an instant when there is no widget to display? It's especially noticeable in landscape orientation.

If you don't touch fairly close to the unlock symbol when you first start up from screen-off mode, the lock screen will let you swipe to another (perhaps not yet set) lock screen. That's what you're seeing. My problem is that I can't remember how to set up the secondary screen LOL!
Edit: Just swipe to the +, tap and add the widget. Too simple!

Wallpaper problem - Kitkat 4.4

Installed Android 4.4 via adb sideload onto 2x Nexus 4 and 1x Nexus 7 (2012). Installation was smooth as the rom is stock (un-rooted).
While trying to change the wallpaper (which I used earlier in 4.3), the wallpaper does not center anymore. Tried with multiple wallpapers meant for Nexus 4 and 7 respectively.
I later launched airdroid and saw --> com.android.wallpapercropper running in the background and consuming anywhere between 33-44MB of RAM.
The cropping tool to select the wallpaper no longer appears in Android 4.4. Anyone else facing similar issues?

Glad to know . Wonder if a bug is already reported.
In the same topic, even when I manage to center the wallpaper after reboot it get distorted (like zoomed in), do you have this to?

I got the exact same problem. The wallpaper looks stretched and real ugly.

Has anyone raised a bug with Google on this? If not, any idea how to submit a bug?
Wondering if the wallpapers are the proper res for nex 4. Possibly a small detail that needs to be corrected in the build env.

solved?
ok i figured out how to center my wallpaper image on the lockscreen.
using the oem launcher, on the desktop, swipe from left to right, to the last screen on the left...
hold down finger on screen till choose wallpaper option comes up, pick image from gallery and save as wallpaper....
shut off screen via power button press, press power button to wake device to lock screen...
image should be center on lock screen.. if its not, you didn't do it right, try again.
default screen in stock launcher is the screen all the way to the left... lame but whatever.
now you can set your default launcher to your choice, ie NOVA - APEX - WHATEVER and your lockscreen wallpaper is aligned

The problem happens when we set any photo as wallpaper, after restarting the phone, the picture appears as if it had applying a zoom.
have the same problem
I have the same problem with Nexus 7 2013 on KitKat.
Because the photo wallpaper will automatically zoomed in, now I'm using 3rd party wallpaper apps.
I'm just wondering how the app set wallpaper without being zoomed in. If the logic of setting wallpaper is the same, it should be zoomed.

That works for the centering, but after the power cycle the image (if a huge res is used) is blown up to a section of the picture and not how it was originally set as.
It's crazy that it lets you use a whole image for the wallpaper yet when the device rotates or power cycles it buggers it all up..
I had the same problem on stock 4.4.2. I even f-reset my nexus 4 but uh it didn't worked. in wallpaper cropper, if you choose it as is (positioning), it will be positioned in the hard left screen, so choose the half of the image like this
