[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nukedukem:
Maybe I can give you some ideas. First a disclaimer: I'm running ICS and using Trebuchet launcher, and I add my custom wallpapers to the Trebuchet launcher before compiling it myself. I like to have the fancy wallpaper selection screen with my custom wallpapers, so I don't know how this would turn out if you just selected a wallpaper from the sd card and used that annoying crop screen to select a wallpaper. Anyhow, with that out of the way, this is how I do what you describe using a photo editor such as GIMP. Maybe you can adapt this to your situation:

1. Resize the original wallpaper to 1920x1408

2. Add solid black background layer of same size (1920x1408)

3. Resize the foreground picture layer to 1280x800 and save

4. Using Trebuchet launcher, disable wallpaper scrolling

That gives me the entire photo inside one screen without scrolling (landscape mode only). When in portait I have black bars on top and bottom. I'll attach an example. Maybe you can adapt this somehow because I'm not sure how it would work with the wallpaper picker that makes you crop the photo.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bZerk:
That is actually the best solution I've seen so far, but I still feel it is a little too much hassle for something that really should be easy to do.

Thanks for your help!
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saintfyre:
I think, unfortunately, the most common fix to this issue is to install Multi Picture Live Wallpaper (free in the market).

You can set the picture as the source image and you'll want to disable vertical sync I think it is..

Unfortunately the cropping issue blows and we have to go elsewhere to fix it.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bZerk:
Multi Picture Live Wallpaper is an okay solution, but it is kind of buggy. When changing to portrait-view and back to landscape-view the wallpaper gets zoomed.

After checking the Android bug-tracker I found that there were several people with the same problem, and I added a comment. I suggest that everyone else who is bothered by this, does the same.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bucketmouth:
i use Quickpic from market its free and use "set as quickpic wallpaper" and it doesnt crop the living hell out of the pic....best solution as cropping on xoom is def broken.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] protour73:
I just tried QuickPic and it works great, no cropping necessary, but it leaves you the option to do it if you so choose.

Thanks!!

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AT2184:
I am using HTC One V and I tried using quickpic but it doesn't work for me as mentioned above :( I used option "Set as quickpic wallpaper" and still shows me frame to crop and it doesnt stretch to entire screen. Anybody else faced this problem? Please help. Its annoying that HTC is forcing crop to set image as wallpaper. I downloaded HD 480x800 resolution wallpapers to go with my screen resolution and it still doesn't work :eek:
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chillertech:
What a great idea though....quick pic def crops but if you put an extension on the photo you could get the whole photo in the crop

How would one do that? Or if someone can make an app...
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dellenrules:
I use PicSpeed from the market.

Select a pic from my gallery and then set as PicSpeed wallpaper.

Worked great for me.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllAboutAndroids:
DUDE! PicSpeed works perfect for me!Thanks for the Suggestion :)
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rosystreasures:
How did you do that? I can't figure out how....
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dellenrules:
Read my previous post.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] collinsac24:
I've tried this on kindle fire and transformer prime and my wallpaper always resets back to default crop after I go from landscape to portrait, or when I reboot. Any fixes for that?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dellenrules:
I'm not the creator of the app. I don't own a kindle fire to try it out so I'm not sure why that is happening or how to fix it.

As for the transformer... not sure either. I use that app on the tf01 transformer without any issues.

I have also used it on the xoom as well without a problem.

Both of those devices are running ICS ROMS with a custom kernel.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] collinsac24:
Maybe it's just my launcher then as I use nova prime on both devices
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dellenrules:
That would make sense. I don't use nova.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jwhy89:

FREAKING GENIUS!!! Made an account just to tell you THANKS!!! :good:
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckanish:

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckanish:
I would also recommend nova launcher.

Can select wallpaper with or without cropping.

The launcher is pretty fast and customizable too.

[HTC Sensation] mathrania:
Can anyone help me find the same radio and the corresponding RIL for this.

I want to use it on Energy rom.

Also if there is anyway to backup my current radio.

Thanks in advance.
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
HI,

It could awkward figuring out which one you want.

The hboot radio is usually one number BEHIND the one that is actually installed.

The true radio is shown in:

Settings>about phone>software information>more>baseband version

So ,if hboot is showing:

10.56.9035.00U_10.14.9035.01,

then you want to install:

10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2

These are available HERE

Information on RILS is available HERE

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] njarun:
does this device ( ATRIX ;) ) supports usb on-the-go?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marko!:
what is USB on the go?

sent from my Transformer Prime
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WiredPirate:
Wiki made it sound like the USB host feature that is available in ICS, flash drives, keyboards, mouse and such..
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] njarun:
its a cool feature that allows a usb-phone connectivity. in simple we may plug and use pendrive, ext hdd with our phone, and access the files in those drives.....
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ycavan:
Short answer.. Yes

Lapdock and hd hubs have usb ports already configured.

You can also make your own adapter by purchasing a usb otg cable and modifying a generic usb hub. The otg protocol needs to have 5v returned from the hub to the phone.

There are a couple of forum posts related to that. :)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] njarun:
it will be great if you could point to some forums......i need to connect a 1tb ext hdd to atrix. is it possible? thanks in advance.....

(hell lot searched and found nothing)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beefytr:
that's of course possible :p; atrix is a great gadget and capable of many things :eek:.

here we go:

1. first get a USB OTG adaptor cable.

2. make your 5v electric-powered USB hub ready.

3. make your USB cable ready (usually USB hub is good for mini USB cable; therefore, you need to obtain also micro to mini USB adaptor too.)

everything is ready now.

4. connect USB hub to power.

5. connect your USB cable to USB hub.

6. connect your USB OTG to your atrix.

you are all set-up.

here we continue...

connect your keyborad, mouse, usb flash, etc. to the USB hub. Voilaaaaaa :):):) mouse cursor and the keyboard as well as the usb flash are all visible on Atrix.

Have fun and enjoy it...

In case you wish, search for youtube for "Atrix OTG support"; you will come across many vidoes that verify what I just briefed above..

on top of all, get a neptop.apk and connect to the HD TV via HDMI cable and taste the ultimate pleasure of WEBTOP :)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] njarun:
great. believe the left mouse click is select and right one is back. can u tell me where can i find the usb folder in the root??
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beefytr:
Yeppppp, u r right about the clicks.

I am not sure at the moment nor can I verify where I see the USB as I am not at my home desk now, but if I am not mistaken it presents itself or you may find it under "files". Should you have not stock "files" app, then refer to "usbdisk..." folders under "mnt".

My regards,
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryandigweed:
Till yesterday there was a schematic, where did it go? :S
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sumit77seo:
is this necessary to use usb hub cant we directly connect 1 tb hd via otg cable?? I searched the whole internet but cant find any guide reagarding atrix otg... Is otg working on atrix cm7??
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rasec2002:
WOW!

I just got it working in a Custom Blur-based Rom ([ROM][GB] NOTTACHTRIX 4G (v1.9.0) Updated Mar 11 2013).

I used a Power charger connected to a Innobo (average quality) USB hub. Then I connected a mouse and a USB memory to the hub plus the Atrix (via OTG cable).

The phone recognized the USB memory without any problem and the mouse works really fine.

I have´n´t tried a keyboard yet, but I guess It will work as well.

Regards. :good:
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gradd:
usb otg isnt suppose to work this way. right? its not portable. i hope there would be any hack for this. :D

[Xperia Arc General] E15i:
I need something very very simple, first of all I have LT15a & LT18a prototypes, I don't trust the FTF posted here on XDA, some write that they Gneric and etc, but we can't compare the SI numbers, so what I need is:

- Flash using Wotan client.

- Repair using SEUS (just to download files in blob_fs folder)

- decrypt and create bundle from SEUS files in blob_fs

* the second task will be enough for me.

I asked many times, but no buddy helps me, and the devices can be flashed only by "Flash Tool" with FTF, so maybe some $$ will help ?:rolleyes:

PS, not sure if an A flash will repaired on I HW and etc, but everyone welcome to help.
[Xperia Arc General] Loosely:
Don't sell your cat - he/she needs you! (Or vice versa ...)

Let me get this straight: you don't trust something that's on xdadev, so you're asking xdadev to help you do what the thing posted on xdadev would do anyway?

If you're talking about firmware, what's your problem with what's here? Many of us, me included, have used it successfully.:confused:
[Xperia Arc General] E15i:
I have 2 cats :D

Ok, I explain, The ROMS from xda-dev do work inded, but for now any user who want to flash Stock SE ROM, can use

Wotan as they free, or try other fee/free service, but my situation different, my devices are BROWN certificate, so no software any than EMMA (SE service program) flash them, but "Flash Tool" still can do it, but I don't have access to all FTF (or SIN, SIN SETS). Also how can I be sure that FTF posted here is Geberic Trade US? I know that the main thing that differs it from other, by "Books" app from Google, and still I can't be sure, as there no CDA numbers to compare with (Wotan also not post em). So in conclusion, my only way to get FTF for specific ROM is to flash it with Wotan, and then repair with PC Companion, I'm not sure if there also a way to just backup flashed ROM straight from device.

*BTW, the files from Wotan looks like SIN SETS, but people here tried to bundle FTF, with no luck, they different from SEUS files, I successfully made a bundle from "Omnius" files, unfortunately they miss many in compare to Wotan.
[Xperia Arc General] Ambroos:
It's probably a stupid question but... can't you just flash directly from Wotanserver?
[Xperia Arc General] E15i:
That the problem my friend, I also try gsmserver, and davinci, there no such support for brown prototypes, that why I ask for help.
[Xperia Arc General] pvyParts:

[Xperia Arc General] E15i:
no, there 4.0.2.A.0.46 LT18a Generic US on Wotan, for LT15a I don't need for now.

Can you just do it for me?

1. Flash your phone to 4.0.2.A.0.46 LT18a Generic US with wotan

2. repair with PCC, and send me blob_fs?

actually files from SEtool can work to, but I need somebody with the box :(

[Samsung Focus S] AdamOutler:
So I won the XDA phone of the year contest. I showed my work on the Galaxy S 2 and I was voted to win a AT&T Galaxy S 2 http://www.xda-developers.com/announcements/xdas-favorite-phone-and-tablet-of-2011-contest-vote-now/

I am typing this on a Focus S i received from someone at Samsung. This is not what I was expecting. My initial impressions:

1. Laggy. When loading a page, the device tends to lock up and words become illegible.

2. No status indicators when browsing the internet.. I want to see time and signal strength when I post a new thread.

3. Copy and paste should not be the default when you select a cursor position

4. Autocorrect seems to be pretty darn good.

5. Its pretty.

I really hope I'm not stuck working with this closed source device. Everything about it is closed source, down to the Qualcomm processor. As a hobbiest, this device isn't valuable. It is a finished product without the ability to be modified or changed in the true xda hardware/kernel hacking manner.

I'm sorry if I offend anyone. This is not my intent. This device is definitely not for me.
[Samsung Focus S] drtolson:
So, I understand that isn't what you were looking for, and yes, it's not 'open source' like the Android phones.

But I'm wondering why you thought you should post it here, rather than complain directly to the XDA moderators and/or Samsung. If you were voted a Galaxy S II, and you didn't receive it, I would think the appropriate place to complain would be the people who offered the content -- not rag on the unit in the user support forum of those of us who enjoy the WP7 O/S and one of the speediest and best looking units out there.
[Samsung Focus S] AdamOutler:
I already did. I figured someone may benefeit from my initial impression of the device. Also, it's not speedy. My single core Infuse4g responds better and has more features.

If samsung lets me keep this device, I'll tear it up and make a how-to on the serial administration console.
[Samsung Focus S] exynos5250x:
Damn the i777 would really benefit from having u onboard =/, hope u can sort it out with samsung tho =]
[Samsung Focus S] Omxman:
Hi, I am looking for a Samsung Focus S. But it wouldn't be sold in China. If you don't like it. I want to buy yours. Contact to me via omxman@msn.com if you would. By the way, is is unlocked? I will use China Mobile SIM card.

:)
[Samsung Focus S] drtolson:
Don't know if eBay is available in China, but that might be the best place to look.
[Samsung Focus S] geoken:
Curious about what exactly you found not speedy? After going from a Samsung Focus > Galaxy Nexus (for 2 weeks because I couldn't handle all the lag) > back to a Lumia 710 I couldn't find a single aspect of Android that was less laggy than WP7. There are some things Android would do faster (browser page loads) but all in all it did everything with far more lag. Even the keyboard lagged severely compared to WP7.
[Samsung Focus S] alodar1:
I most certainly agree with you here. After the last 2 years with android, I replaced my bionic with the focus s yesterday. I bought a lumia 710 3 weeks ago to check out the 2nd gen devices, after coming back to my Dell Venue Pro. It was $20 USD, with no contract extension, so it was worth a risk. . Yes there are things android does better. But not alot. Wp7 is comparable in many ways...most of the ways I use a phone. Android and rooting and modding, in many ways reminds me of the old tv commercial for McDonald's chicken nuggets...parts is parts.

I will actually be moving to a lumia 900 when it arrives. I bought the Focus because its a 4.3 mango device and I had to leave the Bionic, immediately. It has been a pleasant surprise....no regrets.

Only problem so far...1 freeze when browsing while loading 30 apps with reinstaller.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] todds67:
I felt very fortunate last week when HHgreg apparently priced the prime incorrectly for $399.00. I immediately ordered one online and my local store had it in stock. First thing I did when I opened it up was to check for the ICS update and it started downloading it. My battery was at about 27% when the update started downloading and at around 20% when I attempted to install. After the install was complete I had the same issue as many others in that the screen banding was happening and so I called HHgreg to see if I could exchange it. The reason I mention battery % was that I had read somewhere that if the update was completed on a low battery that it could cause the issue that I experienced. They had one more in stock and allowed me to exchange. The next one I received was one with the serial number issue that would not even recognize there was an update available. I am now waiting on my third tablet to arrive but wandering if I should keep it. I hate to take it back seeing I got it for 349.00 after the 50.00 coupon but I dont see to many comments of people who are having no issues and are completely satisfied with the tablet. Please comment if its possible to have a prime that is functioning properly.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] royale192:
I also purchased my TP from HHgregg for 399. but i waited before I upgraded to ICS. I was nearly charged or i might have been fully charged. But the only Issue is my gps. wifi works from 35- 40 feet from the router anlong with my other 3 device's I use in my house. Been playing agry birds for hours not problem at all. Only once did it show that Baning issue when I started using the camera after the 4th picture it started. I shut the app down and restarted the prime. No problems using the camera app again so far. Never had a screen issue either. Ialso tested the wifi with my home router and my htc sensation how spot. both work fine.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] willowave:
I love mine, it works BETTER after ICS and it's your own fault you got impatient and borked your first one. Us with working Primes don't come on here and *****.

We just watch everyone else and try to help when we can. Maybe it's karma that the second one didn't work...cuz you screwed up your first one.

So respect the equipment. Either way if you wait or don't, it's a nice tablet.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] todds67:
willowwave,

your probably right , I was very anxious to update because I've been using an Acer Iconia for a couple of months now and was really looking forward to the update. Has nothing to do with respect for the equipment, whatever that would mean, just didn't know it would cause an issue with the update. Really I'm not trying to *****, I've just read so much negative and not enough positive about the tablet. Thanks for your letting me know that yours is working perfectly. By the way, I do not believe in Karma, I would say its more likely providence.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] IneffablePigeon:
It's not his fault that he got two units that wouldn't update correctly. While it's true that it's best practice to do upgrades either plugged into the mains or fully charged, if the tablet didn't actually run out of charge in the middle of the update I don't see how that could affect anything.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] PrimeTimeBro:
Todd don't listen to him you did nothing wrong I updated to ICS as soon as I got my new one from HHGrregg with 20% battery life and it works perfectly fine with no lockups something is different in some Primes making this happen we just don't know what that is until Asus owns up to it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] todds67:
PrimeTimeBro, thats good to hear, I really want to keep the device but unfortunately I've received two bugged devices. Hope that the next one is solid.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] -lukin-:

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Danny80y:
Not your fault.....you just got 2 bad ones. I updated mine at 20% and have had no issues. Just return it and get one that works.....350 is still a lot to pay for a tablet that can't be updated.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Evo_Shift:
I have returned two as well. Both had screen issues. I am still hoping to get a good one. I ordered two just in case this time from best buy. If i get 4 bad tablets I'm not sure what I will do... I really wish another company had the nice matching docks. I suppose i would continue this until either best buy bans me from buying more or the tf700 is released and i start the process over.

Don't worry, you will get one. Just keep returning them if there is problems. Asus will not tighten qc if people keep problem tablets. I am sure they directly correlate the % they accept as defective during manufacture to the number of returns they get.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] SteveG12543:
I've yet to notice any problems with mine caused by the update. The only problem is that GPS still doesn't work lol but I wasn't expecting it to be fixed either.
