[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DjDarkDragon:
If you want to sett an wall from the gallery..Its way to big if its 960x854..So can anyone tell me what size to choose for the pics to be senterd in "non scrolling wall" setting?I want 1 pic that stays sentered in the screens..Hope anyone knows.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cryogenix:
that would be 960 divided by 3.... since SE's home launcher by default has 3 screens...

320 x 854
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lawgone:
It should be 480x854 I guess since it's the dimensions of the lockscreen wallies.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Step666:
Even if you're using a launcher that doesn't scroll the wallpaper, the wallpaper still needs to be 960x854.

All that happens is it displays the middle 50% of it.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DjDarkDragon:
Well thats my point...I want the size that makes me able to show the wall correctly NOT only the middle 50% of the wallpaper.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Step666:
Then you need to create a 960x854 image that you only wish to display the middle 50% of.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtacy!:
LOL! He'd still end up scrolling with that resolution. He wants a static, non-scrolling wallpaper.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Step666:
Well, depends which launcher he's using.

But even if he uses one that lets you disable wallpaper scrolling, he'd still need to do as I say - the wallpaper

has

to be twice the resolution of the screen, that's just how Android works.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DjDarkDragon:
After trying cuite a bit i finally found that With:320 Heigth: 284 gives me the best result..This gives me a STATIC setered wall that is NONE scollable..

Both on the orginal Xperia arc launcher and on the Adw Ex(this one is my personal fav) this resolution gives a sentered pic.Ofcource this scrolles in orginal but not in adw ex..

So to answer my own question:

The Wallpaper size that makes a Static sentered wall is:

With:320 Heigth: 284
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Step666:
So all you've done is disable wallpaper scrolling in the settings then, it's got absolutely nothing to do with the size of the image you're using.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DjDarkDragon:
Well..I really dont oundterstand what youre saying now...If i take a pic in Resluition 960 x 854 with an model standing in the way right of the pic, then i sett this as an wallpaper and turn of scrolling in Adw ex.

Then this problem comes forward: The pic is showing the middle 50% so the model is cut in half..or even is all the way out of the area shown..

With the pic in Resulution With:320 Heigth:284 and the same pic with the model in the way right then the pic on my NONE scrolling wall will be showed like its supose to...Acutually standing in the way right..

Gimme a couple of minutes and ill up some pics showing what i mean.

Ok..Here is the pics showing you what i mean:

Wallpaper in resolution With: 960 x Height: 854:

Wallpaper in resolution With: 320 Heigth:284:

Hopefully this makes things clear?And that someone else finds this helpfull.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Step666:
Well, the fact is, that if the wallpaper scrolls in the SE launcher, then it means that that resolution doesn't magically disable scrolling.

No resolution magically prevents the wallpaper from scrolling, that's just not how Android works.

The only reason that it doesn't scroll on certain launchers is that they override the default behaviour.

But they can only override the behaviour, they can't the fact that the OS requires the wallpaper to be twice the width of the screen, which is why the can only display the middle 50% of the image.

Take this image - it's 960x854.

If you use that with the SE launcher, the middle page of the homescreen will be all red but as you scroll to the side, green will appear. If you use it with ADW, LauncherPr or similar (

and have wallpaper scrolling disabled

), all you'll ever see id red - unless you flip the orientation to landscape.

So as I say, it's nothing to do with the resolution of the image, it's just the way that Android works.

Believe me, it took me a long time to work all this out for myself - I created images very similar to the one I linked to to allow myself to work out what shows up where on the homescreen.

edit: how about you upload your 320x284 image so someone else can have a look at it.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DjDarkDragon:
Well if you have ounderstoud me in the way that I sayd that this wallpaper resolution stops scrolling then Ive expressed myself badly..Ive all the time ment that I wanted the resolution that centers the pic in an launcher wich disables the wallpaper scrolling.

And the Resolution that in adw ex laucher with wallpaper scrolling disabeled centers the pic and showes the intyer pic you want is With: 320 Heigth:284.

But in Xperia Arc Launcher a wallpaper with this resolution will scroll.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aryuautku:
I bought my tab in February. Seemed like a great deal and it really seems so.

But the tab got ridiciliously cheaper and the iPhone is still the same.

My uncle has an iPhone and when I compare it with the Tab with Gingerbread, everything seems fine but, Android gets outdated very fast...

I mean, the iPhone 3G , released in 2008, got outdated last MONTH, by not receiving the 4.3 update.

What about my Galaxy Tab, released in Oct.-Nov. 2010? It hardly got a rom update in 6 months and it doesn't seem like it's getting Honeycomb!

What about Ice Cream Sandwich? No assurance we're getting that either.

And touchscreen sensitivity... the iPhone can feel my SLIGHTEST touch I can feel, this is just for test purposes. My Galaxy Tab sometimes fails to feel the slight touches, sometimes gets very unresponsive. Not that the iPhone doesn't, but it's really rare with the iPhone..

Yeah, I guess I can still trade it for an iPhone but, I don't know really.. iPhone 4 is not likely to get outdated any time soon, but the Galaxy Tab already has successors and already failed to get an OS update, let alone Ice Cream Sandwich. And this just helped me decide that next time I'm going Apple.. My Galaxy Tab was supposed to be a long-time purchase, about 2 years long.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zetsurin:
I can relate to a lot of your gripes. I personally go with Android because I don't like Apple's control, but it can be a tough world sometimes.

For example, with the Galaxy Tab, I have the Docomo Japan SC-01C model. I originally tried importing a UK model as I knew the EUR model would get the best support, but it got ridiculous trying to find a site that would export them here to Japan. So, I ended up grabbing the Japanese model.

So now I find that they all (GSM & CDMA US, South America, EUR model, Korean, HK/Asia model, Japanese model) have subtle differences making it extremely confusing knowing whether you can install any cooked ROMs on here. In addition to that, samfirmwares has no listing of ROMs for the SC01C at all, totally out in the cold. It pisses me off that it's made so confusing.

Take now for instance, there's a Gingerbread ROM out, but it's for EUR. I've read a Japanese site that has successfully installed Chainfire's excellent release, but when I emailed him, he indicated he has the HK model. So even on the Japanese sites I can't get any clear idea of whether I will brick my tab trying to install it. I've got the source code for the Japanese model kernel and it does seem to indicate bluetooth differences for a start but I don't know if that's for real or not. All I want to know if the hardware is the same as the EU version so I can debrand the damn thing.

With my iPad, well, if there's news that the iPad 1 has been jailbroken (as it has) it's relevant worldwide! Having said this, I did debrand my HTC Desire to the WWE version, painlessly I might add, so I'd like to focus this criticism at Samsung, as HTC do a better job (except of course for the 32A/32B nonsense with the HTC Magic which naturally I ended up inadvertently buying the inferior of the two from Vodafone when I used to live in London).
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rex013090:
i can relate with that too, it juwst sucks, i bought my tab on july 2011 but it seems that i did not get the best deal, this is my first tablet and it's working fiine I love it but it's just that theres no update on it since 2 weeksa after i bought it :(

[Nook Color General] Kriegslend:
Hello all,

Quick question. I created a CM 7 ROM for my SD card and love it. However, I did not add a OC kernel when I created it. My question is can I add a kernel to the SD card now without having to recreate the card?

Thanks
[Nook Color General] Kriegslend:
Nevermind! Found the answer after a little digging.
[Nook Color General] jfree901:
what was the solution?
[Nook Color General] TheTodFather:
Yes you can!

Download an ext 4 kernel like the 4-24 1.3ghz one for example

Open the file and delete the meta folder-

then rename the uimage to "kernel"

Done!

Now just take the whole .zip file which you original downloaded and modded and just drop it on the SD card and pop it in the nook. Make sure to reboot into recovery and it will install.

Hope that helps
[Nook Color General] Kriegslend:
Actually it was a little different. I downloaded dalingrin 04011 zip and there was already a uimage in the zip and I just replaced the uimage that was in my boot directory on the card. Now I have the option up 1100Mhz in CM7. Not too hard at all.

yes, you can surely edit it while its still in the signed zip before install, but post about Root Explorer's (for example) button "Mount r/w" is also true, itshould allow you to save build.prop and then you can try remounting it as r/o again, it shouldnt change back

I've had this card in my rooted Droid 1 as well as a Archos 101 tablet and in both of those instances I've moved apps to SD as the internal storage on those is too small. Now that I'm going to be using this 16gb card exclusively on my rooted Evo 4G I have no reason to have space taken up by apps that won't be used or are on internal storage on this device. I want to find the folder and delete the contents to free up some space. I see one called /Android/data and another that is just /data both on the SD card. Either of these what I'm looking for? The former appears to have some older apps that I'm not using any longer but it also seems to have a couple that I'm currently using but haven't knowingly moved to SD card.

android 2.2 uses the .android_secure folder on your sdcard. for the native apps2sd. if you are using some other kind they use a ext2 or ext3 partition on your sdcard. you will need gparted or linux to see this type.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OstrichSak:
So basically if I have 3rd party apps that were installed to SD card from another device I basically need to backup the files I need to keep and format the SD card in order to delete them?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thedudejdog:
You could do that, but first, were you using some other type of apps2sd? Not the android native one that started in version 2.2? Dark tremor or any other flashable or aftermarket apps2sd that uses a ext partition on your sdcard?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OstrichSak:
I would have used a combination of individually clicking 'Move to SD card' within some of the apps as well as SDMove (which I believe actually uses the same location as moving them within the apps themselves). I don't think I used anything else but I had that phone for 18mos so it's hard for me to remember for sure. On my current Evo I haven't moved any apps to the SD Card because there's much more room on the phone than my Droid 1 and I'm actually running into problems w/capacity on my external 16gb SD card. Hence the reason I'm trying to free up some more space from objects that are unnecessary.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thedudejdog:
Ok, so what you can do is just backup your music and pictures and whatever else that you know what it is and format the card. Then move everything back afterwards.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OstrichSak:
I was hoping to avoid a format but sounds like I may not have much of a choice. I need to back up pictures, Mp3's, Titanium backup, Clockwordmod and a couple other folders and reformat. I was hoping it would be easier to track down all the loose ends though.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thedudejdog:
Yea, what you could do is delete every folder on the root of the sdcard that you don't know what it is.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkrodgers:
If you moved them just using the Move to SD card built into Froyo (including apps like SDMove that just help you do that), you shouldn't need to reformat. That's only if you set up an ext3 partition.

Mount the card and view it from the computer (or use a card reader) and delete .android_secure. The real folder is hidden when the card is mounted on the phone.

I can only suggest you to look at Overcome rom in the developers section.

There is an amizing guide explaining you step by step how to upgrade your tab and at the end you'll have a much better 2.3.3 rom than Samsung stock one.

If you still want only Samsung rom stop the update process when it says to install Overcome and you'll end-up with a very clean rooted stock 2.3.3
