Problem with weather wallpaper?

Hey guys,
I choose weather wallpaper, it shows up, but just for some minutes, and when I turn back to home screen from programs, weather disappears, only the background wallpaper left? Is is normal?
Thanks a lot!

Yes, it is normal, it's a power saving measure I think...

If so, we have to choose the weather wallpaper again, again and again if we want to keep it for long? It does not make sense...

The weather wallpaper is default for HD2, you don't have to download it.

Lock screen wallpaper

hi there, i have a picture of my missus that i want to put as the lock screen wallpaper however it tiles the same picture as it is smaller than the screen (480x800). i was wondreing if there was a way of getting the picture to be centred in the screen, with a blank background, similar to the XP setting.
i have tried enlarging the photo to 480 x 800 but it doesnt look right

You need something that will resize it and keep the aspect ratio, and then resize it to either 480x... or ...x800, then add a black background to fill the gaps at the top & bottom or sides.
I'll do it for you if you like - just send me a link to the pic.

ah okayyy i think i could work that, i;ll give it a go and if i fail then i will send you a link...cheers

you're a diamond mate, worked a treat just gotta make the top and bottom bar transparent then its looking mint!

Oh by the way could you please let me know how to set the lock screen wallpaper and thanks.

Yeah that's normal we all have that

We know that..The problem is finding a solution..any app or such..? Even I have loads of wallpapers which do not fit
Sent from my SM-N900 using xda app-developers app

So what keeps you from resizing them in any photo editor to the right size before loading them onto the note ?

try this app? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.twistedapps.wallpaperwizardrii&hl=en

[Q] fullscreen only with stock wallpaper?

Hi! why only with stock LG wallpaper I can see a full screen image in my home? with custom image, the topbar it's only quite transparent, not totally like stock.
how can I solve this?

Been having the same question. After some search, it seems that using the Xposed mod is one of the way to get a 100% transparent bar. Not sure if there are any other ways..

I'll let other, more informed G2 owners confirm this, but I believe that if you install wallpapers via an apk, the G2 sees those as "stock" and you can get a transparent notification bar. I am still exploring this.

Wallpaper as an apk..? Okay unless I'm going crazy from all the studying that is something new to me. I don't remember installing wallpaper.. However I did install apps that has a selection on wallpapers. After setting it thru the app, the status bar becomes translucent. Thanks for the info though. Will search around because I really liked the transparent status bar.

Let me re-phrase that:
I meant to say that you can find apps (apks) that install wallpapers - and when they do (I believe) the G2 will see them as "stock", not as "pictures" that are used as wallpaper. When those wallpapers are seen as stock, you get 100% transparency in the notification bar. This is what I think - still looking into it. Hope this is helpful!

Well it's pretty simples really ... the status bar icons are white and aqua, these would only be easily visible on a dark (non-white) background, which all the stock wallpapers are ... now if you use a custom wallpaper, I doubt the phone can detect what colour the wallpaper is, so to avoid numpties setting a white wallpaper and then wondering/complaining why their icons have disappeared, they have set it so that there is a semi transparent black bar for all custom wallpapers to ensure the icons can still be seen regardless of what colour the wallpaper is.
Simples.

Makes sense.
So is it the case that when you install wallpapers via an app/apk, the G2 sees those as "stock" and won't automatically apply the semi-transparent background? Just wondering...

I'm not sure about that, I don't tend to set wallpapers straight from an app, I always download them, I actually only really use the wallbase.cc app for all my wallpapers. (best wallpaper app).
But if was to take a guess, I would say that the phone assumes all the pre-installed stock wallpapers are compatible with a transparent status bar ... so if you get the phone to think your custom wallpapers are preinstalled stock wallpapers then it might work.
This could be just as simple as saving the wallpapers in the correct system folders along with the other stock wallpapers. Which might explain why if you set it from the app directly it works, as you're not actually downloading the wallpaper, so the app only saves it as a temporary file in the system folders, thus making the phone think it's a stock wallpaper.
Again, these are all assumptions, I haven't tested any of it so it could all be useless info ... but worth looking into .. I do like the transparent status bar.

I believe the phone came with a light blue sky wallpaper. That should have made the status bar translucent. But it didn't. Is it possible to put in wallpapers together with the system's default set? You just need to add pictures into the specific folder eh?

tried to achieve the same with GravityBox Xposed module and it works just as strange as observation in this thread. the status bar becomes transparent right after applying the settings no matter the wallpaper but it goes into the usual semi transparent mode right after you visit the app drawer for example.

Lock screen clock, not AOD clock change

Can we get a horizontal clock? I can only seem to adjust the AOD clock.

I applied a theme and it was horizontal for a while... a few hours later I look and its back to the vertical one. Anyone else notice this?

Hours and minutes are aligned vertically, if there are notifications.

It seem to be horizontal if you have any notifications. Once those are cleared, it goes back to vertical.

Here is a easy Solution
smarturl.it/samsung-s8-clock-chg
Takes less than 2 minutes costs nothing, does not revert back after notification or anything like that.

Horizontal clock is an option under AOD display settings. Look for clock style

Go to Settings...Lock screen and security...Information and FaceWidgets...Contact and Information. You can type in something here and it will show up underneath a horizontal clock. If you don't want anything to show up but still want the horizontal clock, just put in one space and no other text.

I've made a theme with horizontal clock on lock screen. This theme used stock icons and a colour is a little bit changed. Change wallpaper and change icons and thats all. But you can create this by yourself by samsung mobile theme editor wish i have later version. So in order to make horizontal clock in this editor you need to use not colour selection on tab lockscreen but images. And upload image of every digit 012345678: and thats all.

This is really the best proposal. I came here to get rid of this ugly clock on lock screen of my S8+. Thank you so much. No theme, nothing. :good:
Edit: does not work. The horizontal clock just showed up because there was a notification.

No dice on Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus for AT&T

Had a horizontal clock working for months using themes, but since the samsung update about a week ago it broke, there really should be a simple was to do this anyway, we shouldn't be looking for work arounds
