I was wondering if anyone else has noticed that when using the 18.5:9 aspect ratio option in the camera, the navigation bar blocks the bottom part of the photo. This is only apparent​ once you take a photo and have more in the frame than initially shown.
Has anyone worked out how to either hide the navigation bar or at least make it see through when using the camera?

When i choose a picture as a wallpaper, it onli appears in the middle of the screen. It doesnt appear on the top bar (the start menu area) or the bottom bar (near softkeys).
what i wanna do is make the picture fit the entire screen, or at least make the bars opaque-ish so i can see the picture. I think the pictures will look much much better that way. Is there any way to do this?

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

I'm not sure whether this is a problem with Android (doubt it), HTC Sense in general or the HTC Photos app..
But what I'm finding is that pictures with gradients (usually ones computer generated) have their gradients shown very bady and makes the picture look terrible. Instead of doing a smooth colour transition, it sort of does it in chunks..

As you can see here, isntead of fading smoothly from the red to black, it does those ugly layers. I first noticed it when I had this picture set as the lock screen picture because it does it there too. In bright light its almost impossible to tell, but in the dark it tooks terrible.
Sometimes when I look at the full picture in the Photo app it doesn't do the gradient so badly, but when I go to pinch zoom the slightest it instantly changes to look like that. (isnt just a problem with the one picture btw). I thought it might be something to do with the large picture being resized to fit the screen, but I resized the picture on a computer to be smaller than the screens dimensions and it does the same thing.
Another slight issue I picked up is that black areas in a wallpaper picture don't show as 'true black'. When I view the picture with the black background fullscreen in Photos, the black areas are true black (tested at night - true black of AMOLED screen). But when the picture is set as background, there is a noticeable difference between the blackness of the background and the 'true blackness' of the bottom of the notification bar...
Might be hard to see, but to show what I mean:

Does anyone have any explanation for these problems, and even better, fixes?
I've got HTC Legend unrooted

I want to convert movies to fill up the entire screen on my Transformer. taking away the bottom bar, what is the actual resolution of the screen?
1280x800 but you can't remove / cover the bottom bar unless you root it
If you want to take away the bottom bar, you'll need to distort your videos aspect ratio (from 16:9 to 16:10) or you will still have black bars around the video, which defeats the entire purpose of removing the bottom bar. Just use 720p and ignore the bar.

Got a Nexus 7 on black Friday. I've used pictures of Serenity, from Firefly, as wallpaper pictures on my Android phones for years. When I tried to use them on the Nexus 7, I kept getting the frustrating cropping issues people keep talking about. I finally sat down this morning and found a solution. The first key is to use an app that doesn't scale the pictures. I'm using "Photo Gallery Live Wallpaper". The next step was to find the right picture dimensions so the picture on the wallpaper matches the picture file resolution exactly. This took some trial and error using pixel grids.
The Nexus 7 screen in portrait mode is 800x1280. The wallpaper picture sits 48 pixels above the bottom of the screen. So a 1232 pixel tall picture sits properly in the screen. Using the default launcher, the notification bar at the top of the screen is 48 pixels tall, and the navigation bar at the bottom of the screen is 64 pixels tall. So, the top 48 and the lower 16 pixels of the wallpaper pictures are covered up. For each of the two pans to the left and to the right of the center home screen, the background image moves 150 pixels. With the center home screen 800 pixels wide, this means that a 1400x1232 pixel image will display properly.
I've made 9 background images this size, and the wallpaper app seems to be cycling through them all properly.
