I've done a lot of searching on this and the general consensus seems to be that setting wallpapers on 4.3 compresses them (I can attach a photo for reference if someone asks) and I'm using PA too. Some suggest using another app to set wallpapers but I cannot find one that actually lets you set the stock ones.
Is anyone else having this problem? Any help is greatly appreciated!

I use PA too, and I don't have this problem. I have a 1280 x 720 wallpaper, and I don't see any signs of compression.

Thanks for the reply, here's an uncompressed screenshot of my homescreen, if possible do you think you could try applying the same wallpaper and reporting back? That'd be very helpful, thank you!

It happened to me too but just with this wallpaper (the orange one)...
I tried using a wallpaper I downloaded, and if you zoom in you can see compression when it is applied as a wallpaper. The image on the right is the original.
I've got this problem too. Look on my screens.
It's Android 4.3 Gallery problem, use QuickPic to set wallpapers

Hi, im using the official rhodium 6.5 rom,
and i realized that when i change wallpaper in the background of the Malina,
the weather animation is gone,
has anyone ever made a application that its still turned on the animation even in other wallpapers?
For the weather animation still to work, the wallpapers need to be converted to Manila files. You could do this using HDWalls or if you can't use that, post the wallpapers and I'll do it for you.
ok....

I'm doing them now, but due to the way they are with borders and text they may not look great.
Tell me what you think.
That's those done.
BTW, these are for WM6.5 with Manila 2.1 - I'm not sure if they'll work on others.

Thaaaanks! They work flawlessly in portrait mode, though bit small in landscape but i don't really use it that way... Btw if i get that straight, i can only use one cab at a time right?
Yeah, unfortunately you can only use one CAB at a time because the wallpapers have to replace the Manila default wallpaper files for the weather animation to work. Thought they might be a bit small in landscape mode when I was doing them.
Anyway, glad they're ok!
And one last qs. To return to the original one all I have to do is uninstall the cab right? Sorry if I'm bugging here, just a bit new to all this modding experience..
Yeah, that should work ok. Don't worry about asking questions
I've searched everywhere for this but somehow can't find anybody else with the same problem.
My lockscreen clock widget keeps on cropping itself really badly when I unlock, like it's too big for the widget space.
Weird thing is I've tried wiping, and I've tried several different roms and kernels (PA, AOKP, Rasbean) but still the same issue. So lost as to why nobody else seems to be experiencing this. Screenshot below:

Anybody think of an explanation? It's doing my head in !
It is too big. Your font is way bigger then the standard font the clock widget was designed with. What's the mystery?

Why is it so big? Know of any way to change it? I've looked everywhere in my settings and searched all the internets.
Just don't understand how it still does it on all roms I use. Ahhhhh
Damn. That woman is fine.
That's all I have to add to this topic.
Unfortunately I can't help, but could you share your wallpaper?
And her name if you know it, I used to know it but I completely forgot
Have you tried removing the widget from the screen and adding it again?

I just got 2 new 9505G's for me and my wife. Out of the box they had a simple blue themed wallpaper that looks kind of cool. I unlocked the bootloader on my phone which of course reset the data and for some reason defaulted to one of the live wallpapers, while my wife's is still on the blue one I mentioned before.
I cannot for the life of me find the blue wallpaper as an option on either phone (even on the one where it is actually being used). Any ideas where this file is stored?

Okay great! I know how it feels to want something and not get it! Glad I could help. Found it on google.
I take it back, that is not the right image file. It appears similar but it is of a lower quality with weird rendering artifact bands across it. No offense to the guy who posted it, but if anybody else still has any ideas, I am all ears.
I found it by searching inside the stock images in the 9505G development forum.
It is buried inside framework-res.apk\res\drawable-xxhdpi\default_wallpaper.png. Seems pretty stupid they would make the default wallpaper something the user can't select again once he's changed it.
I put it online HERE.
Hi. I just want to ask, how to fix the blurred Wi-Fi icon in I9301? I know, it's a small detail, but it really bugs me. Also, the signal and battery icons aren't straight relative to each other. The battery icon is placed higher and it doesn't look very good. Here's a screenshot :

I tried to replace the wifi pngs from GS4's SystemUI to our device, but they're the same, the problem lies in the XMLs I think. I know that I already made a topic about that, but it seemed to have no attention at all and it was buried.

I tried to copy xml data from other ROMs that have this issues fixed. I tried with dimens.xml in values and signal_cluster_view.xml in layout but I don't see any changes. I will wait for more help.

Check SGS5 mini systemui which has 720p display because SGS4 has 1080p display
Figured I would create a thread here so that we don't clog up the main thread but think it would be helpful for people to get examples of what people are running. I always feel like I am not getting the most out it just because there are so many possibilities. I know my situation is different since I am running 2 units but here is what I have currently running, I think I am going to change the navigation to one of the other options because it annoys me how much the location jumps around while sitting still and haven't seen any 3D recently to make it worthwhile

Just downloaded FCC Launcher, and having tried most of the other launchers out there, for me, it is the best one! Currently creating my screens, so will post an image when done. Can't seem to upgrade to the premium version, though.

Were you able to get it upgraded? I love the launcher as well, almost like there are too many options for it

Yes, I had to uninstall, redownload and re-install, and it then worked. You are right; there are so many options. I had my screen all set and ready to take a pic, and then the media player widget stopped showing artwork and track names from DAB-Z. I will get it fixed and then upload an image.
