Share your Wallpapers

It's been hard finding good wallpapers that actually fit this phone correctly without making it look bad. So anyone want to share some wallpapers that actually look good on our phone?

I like the dog so much

A good app that I use is Wallpaper Wizardrii from the market, and I believe it's free. Pick any of your wallpapers you have saved and it'll automatically set it to fit your screen size, and you can make it either scrollable or nonscrollable. Works perfect for me. In fact, my current wallpaper is sized for my computer, and this app sized it perfectly for my phone.

try this apps :

Sorry that version doesn't have the date cropped, but should be easy to fix as you're setting it as wallpaper. Yes, it's an out of focus pic of the screen of a dvd player displaying r00t, but imo that's freakin awesome.
Forget where I found this 1 but sadbot is cool too.

I tried the app,but some wallpapers still look messed up. I'll upload a picture later.
I've been using this one for a while now:

Use the app called 'Zedge', It is the best app for wallpapers, ringtones and notifications. Check it out on the market

Hot summer
feeling hot this summer chk this out ,for all walls download from the link below
http://www.multiupload.com/X0I8K2TK1W

Here's a quick collection I did and I assure you they will look great!!
* most of these images aren't mine, I just found them on the net then resized for our screens, sharpened, corrected colors, blabla... I take no credit for them.
You can download the pack from here: http://www.multiupload.com/TK3N8RQEVJ.
As a side note, some of these backgrounds actually have interesting... backgrounds.
For example, "deep field" is an image made by Hubble, showing the furthest reaches of the Universe (light emitted ~ 13.5 billion years ago), "cherenkov" is an actual picture of a nuclear reactor (nuclear radiation isn't green, like in the movies, but that very cool blue) and "vitruvian", if you didn't know already is inspired by DaVinci's Vitruvian Man.
I'm currently switching between staredad and vitruvian, I love them both so much!

Two of my favourite background. Very nice with Laucher Pro and default icon

Anyone have the stock HTC Sensation 4G Wallpaper? (not the unlocked HTC Sensation color wallpaper)

[Q] Screen rotation in Honeycomb

I have an iPad and really love the way its screen rotates anywhere I rotate the device. Left-right-bottom-up, any direction.
Can Honeycomb do this? Or can Iconia do this?
Thanks

Well, it seemed my Iconia doesn't have that flexibility
Even on homescreen, it doesn't rotate

Maybe your rotation lock button is set to the wrong position?

Well, i won iconia and i have seen IPAD and IPAD2, but i think IPAD really works wonderfully smooth, Android and Honeycomb or whatever version and any android device is far away from iOS in either IPHONE OR IPAD. so you will be disappointed when u will use android cause no doubt iOS is far more smooth and better in animations like rotation etc. I know many here won't like it but i have seen both and can tell u exactly.

Yep, look for the little slide switch next to the volume rocker on the top edge.
As for iPad vs Iconia tab, ignore the Apple shill above. I have an iPad 2, the Iconia A500, and the Asus Transformer all layed out in front of me. I pick up the iPad an rotate it, and the screen rotates. I pick up the Acer and rotate it, and the screen rotates. Apple does a cute animation trick that makes you think the icons simply rotate in place (but they don't), while Honeycomb blanks out the icons then redraws them after the turn. Take about a 2-count for each to respond. Honeycomb slows down a little if you have widgets on a screen. Neither delay will prevent you from quickly getting back to work in the "new" orientation.
If the stock launcher bothers you, there are a few dozen amazing launchers to replace it using some clever animations of their own. Can't do that with the iPad.

people do take animations and the act of scrolling more important than actually doing something.

That´s true... one iSheep here in the office said his iPad is better 'cause it has smoother transitions. I asked, and what else? He fell silent.
I really don´t understand why people prefer cute animations better.

screen rotation
Works fantastic. Plus you get a hardware lock switch to lock it in place. Sure, the EyePad might have a cuter way of rotating the screen, but when you consider no flash support, no USB host, no MicroSD slot - is the cute animation really worth it?

well tbh even though it does rotate every which way, in any other orientation other than the original landscape (with the port at the bottom) scrolling between screens shows a slight, but noticeable, framerate drop.
I'm hoping this is due to 3.0 and that the 3.1 upgrade will fix it.

I tried it, but I dont like it. The one long continuous home screen is cool, but I dont like the dullness that is the app drawer. All I want is the stock launcher with the ability to go to 1 home screen and change the grid size. Anyone know of such a thing for honeycomb?

i do not get the need to change to launcher ui.when I have my tablet in my hand im looking at a app I use. Don't care much for all the not needed flash .keep it simple save the CPU cycles and memory for the apps and browser.
With that said the pics look nice. Just dont see tthe point

Good responses I didn't like it cuz I have SPB shell and this launcher still needs alot of work to it in my eyes. That being said FOR THOSE THAT WANT CHANGE and don't wanna spend 15 on a 3D launcher this might be of interest which is why I decided to post

Who needs an App Drawer when you can have these Folder Cubes.
This video is after an hour or so of goofing with it.
No way was this a quick process. But it was easy to do.
Yes I did move every app from my App Drawer to the Folder
Cube on the desktop.
And no. You haven't lost or began to need reading glasses.
Just try imagine that I took the time to clear up the video a little bit.
There's not a lot that I can do to lessen the pointlessness. So. Much like the video. I didn't
even try to correct that one. Sorry E.R.
Not too bland eh?
It is easy to see that the larger icons take a few seconds to load. I will send a link to this video to the dev and see if there is a way to put large, and even customized icons (for the ones that it doesn't find.) into the cache somewhere. Maybe it will be an easy fix. Other than that I have to say that it is pretty nice on the Iconia. I don't regret buying it one bit. Now to find the Nook Color...

Look for a app called Folder Organizer.. I have it and set it up once it allows you create groups with menus on your home screen .. not exactly what your looking for but you might like it.. also DENSITY CHANGER APP.. im not sure the exact name .. changes the screen density . This changes the icon size not sure if it will allow you to drop more on there or not..

No problem. This app works just as well on the Nook Color as it does on the Acer. (?!?Maybe even better?!?) Thanks again for sharing the find. I'll use this for a solid couple of days and report back on the stability. As well as any news. So far so good though.

I Want To Change My Hovering Pen Icon, Any Idea?

The Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 default hovering pen icon is just a tiny little dot...
But I wish it could be changed to another shape like cursor on PC destop...
Pls help me.
Thank you.

Hmm, in LectureNotes you can select the size of the hover so it shouldn't be impossible to change in other apps as well like a launcher.

Yeah, it does in LectureNotes.
I currently working with Screencast creating math tutorial and post it on youtube. But I think the student would be confuse if they couldn't see the hover. There is a problem when recording on LectureNote, it's lagging (paused somehow). So I chose S-Note (built-in app on galaxy note 10.1), my problem is just the tiny hover. There is no hover setting in S-Note

The pen pointer has changed in the 4.1.1 (something) rom I'm using on my n8010, it's a small light blue ring with a hole in the center that matches the s pen's tip. I find that it's nicer than the dot, but I didn't see any new options to change the icon. It would be great to have some more customization, especially for using drawing apps.

I see your problem. I use YouTube lectures from Kahn academy and similar videos all the time, some have a pointer and even though I prefer that most videos doesn't and it's usually no problems if the teacher is switching colors and tell where he's writing. Some courses are better than others, math is imo pretty straightforward compared to other classes where you have to make and edit large flowcharts etc. But that of course depending on what level of math we're talking about.
A way around your problem would be not to use any recording tool but to actually record the screen itself. Ie, just like you take a screenshot but like a video instead. This however, usually requires root and that might not be something you want to if it's not your tablet. I also think there are programs to record your voice simultaneously too, something I don't think SNote is doing.

Hide On Screen Nav Buttons

One of the software features that isn't getting much press but one that I'm hugely looking forward to is the ability to hide the On Screen Nav Buttons on an app by app basis.
I've never been 100% behind Google's decision to advocate the On Screen Nav Buttons. A huge waste of screen real estate sitting there doing nothing while you read/play etc. The expectation was that developers would choose to hide them when they weren't needed but that never really happened. Some developers got behind the idea (thanks!) but even Google has inconsistent behavior when dealing with them.
Now we can choose to display them or not on an app by app basis. A swipe up from the bottom of the screen displays them again.
There are a number of delightful touches like this one on the G3.
Great work LG.

I agree. Even though it's easy enough to root the phone and force immersive mode, I applaud LG for implementing something that should be on every applicable Android phone, yet isn't. I'm very much looking forward to the phone becoming available, whenever that may be.

Though a nice effort by LG, there are a lot of games that use up motions for movement. Anyone into game emulators will especially have issues. Not to mention not all apps work with it, including web browsers.
I prefer my S4 having buttons at the bottom. The irony is the G3 5.5" display is the same size as the 5" display S4 for some apps and navigation.
Still, LGs effort is MUCH better than nothing.

Browsers do work with it. I say 'browsers' but I can only confirm Chrome and the stock browser.
In the instances that it might cause a problem for things like emulators then just don't include them in the list. It's an opt-in feature on an app per app basis. Best of both worlds really.

seems to work perfectly with chrome and stock browser and pretty much any app that i select on my phone. I have to say LG really listens to people and implement their suggestions on their devices. I hate wasting screen real estate especially when i'm playing games or watching a video in an app that can't force the nav bar to minimize. LG solved this problem.

not all apps, I guess

This sounds a very good feature and something that everyone should be doing, the thing is though I haven't seen this mentioned in any reviews I've seen or read and that's quite alot! As mentioned I'd prefer hard buttons ala Samsung phones but because they've dropped FM Radio I wont be buying one of those any time soon.
Does anyone know if there's the one handed mode from the G Pro 2 that shrinks the whole screen down to a size of your choice? Again was featured and mentioned in G Pro 2 reviews but is not something I've heard about on the G3

It's a nice feature for sure, but gets old after awhile. I hate constantly having to swipe up to bring them up to hit the back button. It's cool on some apps, then others it's not. For whatever reason I can't get it to go away in YouTube. This is on 4.4.2 on a g flex though.

It's a shame there is no pie like control system in the stock rom but it's a lot better than other stock roms where you can do absolutely nothing with the on screen buttons.

It's nice to use for certain apps such as a news app or game where you don't need buttons. Other then that out doors get annoying to swipe up, but I'm glad LG included it.
