Fitting Wallpapers

I'm looking for a good background on the screen, if I open the screen setup I see a square block instead of a rectangle block,
if i use a 1280x800 image is always cuts off a part of the image.
does someone know the resolution of the square box?
of does anyone have a link to a wallpaper pack for the Tab 10.1?
Greetz...

I been struggling with this same issue since day one. I too tried using the same Res wallpapers with the same issue lol. Soo I did some experimenting. For me what worked was a combination of two things. First off I use 1280x1024 wallpapers and I use quickpic to apply them. Here's some screenies to compare gallery and quickpic..

This image I'm sure ur familiar with. Nice n square and not cropped as we want it to be.
Here as you can see the crop toll within quickpic fits the rectangle horizontally quite perfectly and only cutting off the image at the top and the bottom. This is something that has become quite acceptable to me lol. Well I hope this helped

Wallpapers that fit
I too was having this problem. Even using Zedge would render blurry, non-fitting images. After some trial and error, I found PicSpeed wallpapers (https://play.google.com/store/apps/...1bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5zcnNkZXYud2FsbHBhcGVycyJd) and everything that I've loaded from there has been cropped and adjusted properly. I did find that I get my best results by picking the default settings, which is the one that allows the wallpaper to scroll. Not my app at all, but it solved this problem for me.
Good luck.

best solution till now for wallpapers i found
i use app in google play called wallpapers bay to get nice looking wallpapers with tablet resolutions and save them as download them then use app in google play called simple image wallpaper to set them i enter the app from from live wallpaper !!! and then find the name of installed app then enter it enter setting and browse image in gallery then set it sooo decent looking

What are you using to create these?
I just tried making my own using PS touch. .I don't think it worked very well.
I would love to get the HD detail like you. Nice job.

I'm using paint.net its free and very powerful, also it helps to use high res images to make your wallpapers

Oh I was hoping you were using your A500.....8(

I just made this on PsTouch

and another

There should be a "set image as" option from the gallery to do the first (under settings/options) - some galleries will ask if you want to set it as wallpaper if you longtap the image from the gallery.
On latest 4.3 ROMS you can set the lock page wallpaper to be different than the standard, but not usually switchable from one home page to the next that I know of.
John

ok thank you for your suggestion

font

Randon wallpaper size change

I'm enjoying my N10 but randomly the size of my screen changes. Maybe it's not all that random because it happens when I change orientation BUT it's not consistent. I can get it back to the smaller image by turning the tablet around and opening and closing apps but it's pretty ridiculous and I'm inclined to ignore it but it surely isn't right. I don't seem to find a thread where anyone else is having this problem. I suppose if I changed to a pattern of snowflakes I might not notice it but the snowmen shouldn't be changing sizes. btw I am using ADW Launcher and hope that's not the problem becasue I like it's features.
Anyone?

I used to have the same problem with my nexus 7 and I was unrooted and completely stock running no launchers. So it's not that. But still... It's something lol.

try the app: "Simple Image Wallpaper"... after installation its not under the app drawer but is found by clicking and holding on the main screen, clicking wallpaper, and then selecting "Simple Image Wallpaper" and then just going through the settings. you can also have it change images for when you rotate it so you can have the snow one on landscape and a different one for portrait mode.

Excellent and thanks. The app actually installs under "live wallpapers". It took me a minute to find it.

[Q] Alphabetical list for app drawer?

I just can't understand why Samsung would eliminate the one feature I truly like about TouchWiz, ie, the alphabetical list mode for the app drawer with the little letter tabs along the right-hand side to quickly jump through the list. Am I just missing something? I would really like to believe it is my stupidity in not figuring out how to turn it on, and not their stupidity in removing it for no reason.
If it really is gone, is there any way to bring it back on a rooted phone? I prefer not to use a 3rd party launcher.

Hit the 3 dots on the upper left side of the phone (your right) and select view as

Thanks for your reply. I do realize how to make the icons in the app drawer alphabetical. What I am talking about is the much more useful alphabetical list mode, as shown in the screenshot from my Galaxy Note 3.

Alphabetical LIST (not grid) is SUUUUCH a useful feature. I dont understand why they removed it in the latest software because its a step backward in doing so.
I've looked everywhere for an answer to this and everyone simply replies to the thread failing to realize that its a vertical scrolling LIST view (like your contacts), NOT swiping grid we are asking for. Doesnt anyone have a mod or solution?

This was one reason, not the only one but one, why I decided to stay with my HTC One M8 and sold the Galaxy S5. I have sinced move on to the LG G3 but I still wish I had that alphabetical list mode!

I cant imagine why there cant be a mod for this.
A toggle switch would also be nice for the new volte feature too.

For mycase is little bit different with you, my weather can't show on lock screen.
But google around, and find a way, enable location, and then del all city line under weather app
then tap again the weather widget select the detected location, and i find the weather can show on lockscreen.
I wish this method can solve yours too.

Add a weather widget to the homescreen, click on it to see if it's the right location.

Actually no need to add a weather widget on lockscreen, enable it under
setting > lock screen > show information > weather (tick it) it will enable weather widget on your lockscreen.

But the widget never updates on its on.
Also must have GPS on and hit refresh for it to update to accurate temperature.
