Can we upload wallpapers on xda at 1440x1280 without the images being down sampled?

It would be nice to start a wallpaper thread if possible.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
It'd also eat their bandwidth nice and quick :P

You can host the image elsewhere and link to it using IMG tags to display it full size.

Ya this what I figured. I thought I'd ask before trying it out.

Thanks dan!

Newbin question:

How get wallpaper fully display with out cutting?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] webmastir:
There's a free app out there that does this - so no cropping is necessary. Can't remember the name though. Maybe someone else can remember?

Also, a quick workaround is to use Chrome2Phone & send the image to your phone via browser. Once it pops up in phone browser, long press on image & choose "set as wallpaper". That method doesn't ask you to crop.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Baldilocks:
If your wallpaper is the correct size, 1440 x 1280, you shouldn't have to cut it anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] diablos991:
I used to use Wallpaper Set and Save back in the nexus one days.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] synaesthetic:
The button bar cuts off the lower 96 pixels. It's completely unavoidable with the stock launcher. ADW Launcher EX changes the wallpaper's resolution and aspect ratio to 1440x1184 so that nothing is cut off.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] webmastir:
No way. I have all 1440x1280 images on my phone, and when I go to the gallery & choose set as wallpaper, it makes me crop to a certain size. i can NEVER select the entire image.

edit: I'm an idiot as pointed out a few posts after this one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] orihuri:
You wizardrii from the market...its the best solution to set wallpapers with many costumization options
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] webmastir:
Thx...will check it out
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xenevo:
When you apply a 1440x1280 wallpaper it will bring you crop function. At that point move your cropping box to the top left corner and then drag the box resizing it to the bottom right corner. You should result it a full image that is not cropped at all. I use these sizes all the time this way.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] webmastir:
Oh..wow! I'm an idiot. I've been doing this wrong for years :o

I don't think I've ever started at the top left. I've just left the default frame centered before trying to stretch it.

/headsmack.

Thanks dude
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Baldilocks:
It's ok. A lot of people do that. It's not like Android provides any clear instructions on how to perform simple functions.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] metajames:
Actually you still never really get a full size image. With the stock launcher the navigation buttons and notification bar are omnipresent so you can never see the entire wallpaper image. So in practice your image is still getting cropped. This was making me crazy, I would design a wallpaper in photoshop to be just the right height cropping for a 1280 px height, then apply the wallpaper and the top and bottom bars would be covering parts of the wallpaper. So in essence the top 49 pixels and the bottom 96 pixels of the 1440x1280 image are never actually seen.

What I have been doing is designing my wallpaper to be 1440x1135 then adding 49 pixels to the top and 96 pixels to the bottom to "pad" the images and account for the blacked out areas. That way I actually see all of the wallpaper displayed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] twiz0r:
That's what transparent status and nav bars are for :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] twiz0r:
Any ideas if you do this, but when you apply it the wallpaper ends up being cropped?

Im trying to root my LG Optimus ME p350 but it doesnt work!

When i used Gingerbreak v1.20 it keeps rooting for ever. I open it through ASTRO, as i saw in a tutorial, and when i clicked on root my device it appears the following:

Gingerbreak

Rooting...

Running exploit...

This may take a few minutes!

Device will reboot on success!

and it keeps on, and on, like forever! I've let it for like 30m and nothing!

I also used Universal Androot but when i click on root it saids that there is an failure.

I've also tried Superoneclick but it also keeps forever without anyresults.

In all the actions ive made the usb debugging was check and the unknown decises where also check! I have the 2GB sd card mounted and i just dont know what to do! Everywhere i look the users said that with the gingerbreak everything works on LG OPTIMUS ME P350 but with me... it does

NOT!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChicaAndroid:
What firmware do you currentrly have? If it's 10a, then that could be one of the reasons gingerbreak is not working. I had the stock firmware version 10a, couldn't root - then I update the ROM to 10d and Gingerbreak worked perfectly, my phone is now rooted.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeek-id:
sorry for this late reply, hope u reply me. I dont really know where to look for that so i checked the About phone section. The version pf software was LG-P350-V10g. Any other help?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChicaAndroid:
Then if you ROM stock is 10g, I guess it should really work with Gingerbreak. I have version 10d, and it worked wonderfully... maybe you could switch to 10d?

I've just got a GN, but I think this is a general Android question.

What is acceptable in a dial string?

212.345.6789

212 345 6789

212-345-6789

Can I prefix a 1?

Prefix a +1? Is there any difference between this and just "1" in US?

Do I need + for international numbers? Is 00 the same as "+"?

I do know that in some places (NE Pa) texting won't work for a number that has any special characters or spaces, but what are the rules for dialing? Is there any reference?

most (if not all) oem parts will come from korea.

where was yours made?

made by samsung

i was told the first batch was made in korea.

Wonder if there is one like the battery cover of the Nexus one, like soft touch Teflon (that feel anyway)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
some members were allowed to keep the covers, the seller didn't ask for them to send it back, so they cut connection.

Kindly tell you that this battery case is OEM, which is the last christmas gift for the staff of google(google designed the pattern by themselves, the pattern is printed on the case).

Edit: Expedited shipping costs $25 they told me, might just order it and wait it out until the 20th to save the $25, just incase this is a piece of junk, Lol

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Gingerbread Man:
I did hear that they aren't as grippy as the normal one but look into the clear case I mentioned above and that shouldn't be an issue plus you should be able to see the design.

I feel like the stock battery door is slippery enough, I can't imagine it being any more slippery... Do you feel like you're going to drop the phone at times or have had any close calls? I use a leather sleeve/pouch but my phone isn't protected when I'm using it if it were to drop.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sacksyboy:
Well from theses pictures there is a definite difference from the Google le version...it's darker. The original matches the frame color of the phone.

Still looks nice though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HashTagHell:
Something tells me that these are originals. When you look at the pictures from the ones that Google employees were given, the phones actually look darker than what we have as well.

Something tells me these are not real lol. It was only a mather of time 'till these would come out.

Ofcourse they are almost 100% alike, it has been the same with battery covers for other phones too.

They look decent ofcourse and that price is not much.

Point of interest, if you place eBay links to items there it is against XDA rules. I was participating in a thread that was closed due to this reason. I had placed an eBay link too :(

Might wanna hold off the URL's regarding eBay items.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
The sellers says it's original, and whiles everyone says the covers are darker, many photo's tends to be like that, but i can tell you this, if these turns out to be real, ppl who has purchased them before for high prices will be pi**ed:D.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NorCalDroid:
I love living next to Google HQ. I bought mine for VZW Gnex off a Google employee who was selling on Craigslist. Best battery cover ever. Love having a phone with zero Verizon branding. http://twitpic.com/8ki5fw take a lok ac
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BuddyJoe83:
Ofcourse the seller will say it's real but I saw one of these auctions and more then 10 were available hmmmm.

And if Google were to sell real covers why through Chinese sellers that, with all respect, on eBay are known for selling very good looking, but 'fake' covers, instead of US sellers or w/e. I would expect originals be sold on a Google/ Android supported market website.

Anyway they look decent so might be worth spending 10$ ish for most.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
the oem covers could all be made from china so it's not too surprising that a few extra 100's came off the production line without ppl knowing about it.

BTW my galaxy nexus has the label made by samsung, so i think it's made in china.

anyways if it fits for 14USD it's better than an lazer engraved one.

too bad i live in hong kong, they dont send here, real or fake i wont really both about it, i'm using the extended cover, my normal cover has been lying around since i've had the extended cover on.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BuddyJoe83:
hehe ofcourse most of our products, and especially this one from Samsung, originates from Asia and I freaking love Samsung so I don't mean harm by saying if a Chinese seller sells something it's fake (half asian myself).

However this cover was intended for US Google Employees so I have my doubts, they still can be sold anywhere.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
as i said a few 100's off the production line unofficially, thats another few 100's on the market, and things like this do happen alot in china.:D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BuddyJoe83:
haha okay I get your point in that :D

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BuddyJoe83:
hmm might be marketplace, thread I posted in was in marketplace. Ah well, should be okay then..

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
these battery covers are only plastic, so real or fake, it doesn't matter, as long as they look good and fit's well, thats what matters, they are only considered as an accessory just like a protective case.

This. Besides, from a photo its going to be fairly hard to tell. Colors and everything else can be thrown off in a photo. I've bought several pairs of nikes that look much different when I get them from the photo.:D
