s view wallpaper - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello.
I set my own s view wallpaper today and can't get back the one I selected from default. All I see when I go to s view settings are colours like red, green, and my custom pic etc. How do I get it back? It's the image that looks like the default look screen wallpaper with he multiple colours.

dont really understand what you mean
you want it to be clear but not transparent ?
clear then how ?
just a colour ?
You probably mean the picture on your Today-screen.
That is an interesting question I would like to know.
Furthermore since I have upgraded to 1.72 the picture I have on my Today screen has lowered 2-3 mm, so there is a white band right over my date display.
Anyone know an answer to adjust that (and change the picture from being transparant to bright)
i still have no clue what you want
you can adjust the background picture in a theme maker
i mean the opaque wallpaper in today's screen. not transparent
so you want remove your wallpaper?
hey double_ofour, i\'m not sure either what you want, but i\'ll try..
anyway, if you mean the transparency of the picture you\'re using on your today screen, here\'s what you can do:
1 Go to Pictures, select the pic you want to use as background
2 Click Tools > Set as Today Wallpaper
3 Then from there, you can set the transparency level for that. (0-100%)
But if you mean for the picture quality on your today screen to be more crisp and clearer.. I guess it just depends on the quality of the picture you use. I tried using a high res pic as a walpaper, and it appeared to be more crisp and clearer.
Or did you mean for your background to be just a plain screen?? -- I haven\'t really tried that yet, but the only work around i can think of right now is for you to find a nice plain pic (any color you want, perhaps a plain white jpg will do) then use that as your background. (sorry for this lame suggestion, i\'m just trying to exhaust all options)
Is this what you meant?
like Guts_S; i'm also trying to digest what you want to do so i'll give it a shot as well. if you want to clear up your today screen; as in the only thing left is the wallpaper then you should download the app "no plugins today". put it in your start menu; clicking it will clear up the today screen and leave only the wallpaper / pic you have. clicking the app again will restore all the today plugins.
as guts_s said; if you simply want a plain color (no pic whatsoever) then simply save a plain colored pic, sync it to your ppc and use pictures to use it as the wallpaper...
are we there yet?
cheers

whiteish overlay on custom background image?

I tried setting my background image to a custom one and it shows up with this weird white overlay that makes it look really bright (darkening the picture doesn't really help). I have the same picture set as my splash screen and it looks great there, but as a background, it (or any other non-system image I've tried) looks horrible. What's going on here?
If you mean the Today background, and setting it through Start > Settings > |Personal| > Today* - known. It's done on purpose to enhance/keep legibility of items on the Today screen.
There's two things you can do..
A. make your own Theme with the image.
B1. Open the Pictures & Videos application
B2. Open the picture of interest
B3. Menu > Set as Today Background...
B4. Adjust the Transparency Level to read 0%
B5. OK
Awesome. I tried the B option and it worked great. Thanks

white today screen backgrounds with custom pictures?

Whenever I try to use a custom picture for my background for my today screen, the image has a "white out" look to it, meaning its a very bright version of my image. How can i use the original image for my background?
When you set your wallpaper, it will ask about transparency.
Set it to 0% and it'll look just like it should!
ok thanks! my problem that i was using settings>>today>> then the "Use this picture as the background"
but is their anyway to change the lettering to white without adjusting the transperency of the background?
You mean the font color on the today screen? Isn't it white by default?
ok nevermind i got it, i forgot i had recently changed my theme too

Screen Saver Bakground Color

Not sure if anyone has noticed but when using a screensaver that is suppose to have a transparent background (be able to see what is on the desktop) it defaults to the background color chosen for the start screen theme.
An easy example is the bubbles screensaver that comes preloaded, the weird thing is when selected and you preview it, it previews with a transparent background you are able to see what is on your desktop, but when you let it run its time and it pops up on its own it replaces the background with the color theme you chose for your start screen.
any ideas on how to change it to remain transparent? I've tried changing the background color of the start screen to transparent with Decor8 but the screensaver background still is not transparent.
attached are the images of how it should look and how it actually looks.
never noticed it, but i tried and indeed the background isn't transparent. strange

S4 Default Wallpapers (resetting to default theme)

How can I get back the following default wallpapers without actually resetting the phone to factory settings that came on the phone when I was unboxing it on my SGS4?
Please see screenshots.
The other screen capture labeled CAPTURE2 is a solid light blue color with the hint of Sun glow on it.
I only have the plain normal blue solid color for the Home/Lock screen wallpaper.

NEVER MIND:laugh::laugh: I have it. I downloaded it.
However, can someone tell me where SGS4 stores its default Wallpapers? In which directory?
Because now, I would like to move this to the default Wallpaper directory.
Thanks!
Is there any special reason that you want to add them to wallpapers? You could add them to your gallery and then set them as wallpaper.
Dont think you understand my point here....
I know how to set the wallpapers. But I need to locate the folder in which these DEFAULT wallpapers are so I can add my downloaded image along to those default ones.
IThanks

For some reason that light solid blue color (with the sun beaming down) wallpaper was indeed in my list of default wallpapers list.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39745417
Please see that wallpaper from my first posting. Thats gone from the default wallpapers list and plus, I even did a factory reset and still, its not there. However, could be that I had this 300MB Firmware update last week and the firmware replaced that wallpaper from the default lists?
But somehow it got replaced by a darker solid blue color.
Thanks
