[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] eizyark:
home screen wallpaper. every time i try to set as wallpaper, the crop option appears and i can't choose the whole wallpaper... it's the same with any picture i try to apply as a wallpaper... it's weird, never had this issue with my sgs2 (my previous phone).
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Baldilocks:
I think the GS III uses the stock ICS gallery if I am not mistaken. You CAN choose the entire wallpaper, but it's just tricky. You have to move the box to one side and keep dragging and moving until it fills the whole screen. Def not as easy as the older Samsung way.

Does it start of like this???

If you take some time you can stretch it out to this -- which will choose the entire picture for the home screen.

Password zip please.:confused:
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Baldilocks:
There is no password.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] TechTune:
eizyark, had the same issue.. quickpic from google play took care of it. Much larger crop area.

Baldilocks, you get a crop option the size of one homescreen, with no alternatives. Weird.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Baldilocks:
It actually looks like that, but when I select it, I get the whole picture.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Kevin_seymer:
I also doesn't get alternative to make scrollable wallpaper...

I only get to crop a very small bit of the picture and then its not scrollable?

Any ideas?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] elsonhwx:
i've got a problem.. wallpaper on my s3 won't scroll. and when i was setting up wallpaper there is only a rectangular box to crop .. when i use wall base the cropping is like a big square with a portrait/landscape shape in it but it still wont scroll :confused:
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Baldilocks:
Seems like a lot of people are saying that the wallpaper doesn't scroll. Weird.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] nicholasdart:
Non scrolling wallpaper

It's true guys...the wallpaper on the SGS3 doesn't scroll.

I have tried the wallpapers, which are awesome by the way, but non will scroll.

Will upload some even bigger pics and have a play....but no go so far::confused:
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Baldilocks:
If they don't scroll then you are just going to have to go with 720W x 1280H pics. OR, you can try Nova or Apex launchers....scrolling might work then.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Overmars_om1:
I think Samsung are going backwards rather then forwards not being able to have a full size wallpaper on a S 3s desktop is totaly stupid.

Im thinking of starting up a new thread ;/

---------- Post added at 12:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:31 AM ----------

The launchers do work on the S3. But its still the same as the cropping softwere is built in. Even with the launchers you still have to crop your picture thus not being able to see the whole picture ;/ :confused::confused:
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Baldilocks:
Can you take screenshots of the cropping feature?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] xda890:
I installed Quick Pic and it allowed me to choose the whole image without the need for cropping it...

BTJ
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Overmars_om1:
Im useing Wizardii :D

Dose the trick.

Still looks pants though. Also makes the picture look smaller.

So we lose out on the Resolution :confused:
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] sak500:
What i've noticed is that if you select wallpaper option instead of gallery or live wallpapers the default pictures there are not required to be cropped and these will be full scrollable on the homescreen. I tried to find that folder couldn't find it and even copied pictures in a folder i created as wallpaper but any other method i used it still required me to crop the image to one screen.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] dan 6a:
I am using Nova launcher and using Estrong file manager to install the Wallpaper and works well

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ps3kev:
i have heard people talking about it, how is it done?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] I_FLY_Z3R0:
There's apps like z4root that root your phone with No computer. Also something like universal root

Sent from my iPhone killer.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ps3kev:
im not sure z4root will work on a vivid will it?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ps3kev:
also how is universal androot one click, is it good?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] tjubrock:
any luck?

did you have any luck with those apps? I wouldnt think those apps would work without the computer because you need that token id from your phone by using the command prompt to unlock your bootloader.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] tanner4137:
You can only temp root with boot loader locked
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] skippyg:
Updates on an app that will work?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] tanner4137:
There most likely won't be any. You can just download the toolkit and it will do it all for you.
[HTC Sensation] sameermishra726337:
I have been running ARHD 6.5.0 and all later versions since they've come out and while they're great, I've been running into random reboots every now and then. One minute, I'll just be closing out of an app and when I try to unlock it, it shows the HTC boot animation and everything.

I've tested this with Faux and SebastionFM kernels but these didn't seem to help. Any suggestions?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] contagous:
Hey there

I'm currently working through the below process... on my Verizon CDMA LTE Galaxy Nexus runing 4.0.2 Stock.

http://strifejester.wordpress.com/2012/05/01/imm76k-direct-for-verizon-galaxy-nexus/

Also watched this Video (but he doesn't get the error) :(

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQ1HuteSnDE

And when i get to the part about running mempodroid as sh I get an error that says the following:

Segmentation fault See the below screen shot.

Does anyone have any advice on how i can get past this? I have restart phone and desktop many times and happens every time. I have the PDAnet drivers installed and everything else adb seems to be working.

Would love some help,thanks in advance. Really want to get this working tonight if possible.

You are not developing anything

Moved to Q&A

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] imnuts:
Why would you temp root? Why not just temp boot to recovery, flash the superuser zip, and then restart. You'll be rooted, and if you don't want CWM installed, since it is only temp flashed, it'll disappear as soon as you restart.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] contagous:
I'm just following the process for the 4.0.4 install. How else can i do what i need? I'm quite new to my Nexus, i had a bionic before.

Thanks

Need the temp root to run mempodroid i think, can i do this another way? i honestly don't know
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] imnuts:
If you are on stock 4.0.2 (ICL53F), download the 4.0.4 OTA update zip that is posted here somewhere and put it on the root of the internal sdcard. Restart your phone into recovery (should be stock recovery) and apply the update. It will verify the system and flash the update if everything checks out.

From there, if you want to be rooted too, download the superuser package from http://androidsu.com/superuser/ and put it on the internal sdcard (location doesn't matter). Use fastboot to temp boot to recovery, you'll need a custom recovery file for this (CWM, CWM Touch, TWRP, etc.). Run fastboot boot <recovery image file> and it will boot into recovery. Select the option to install a zip file, flash the superuser zip you downloaded, then restart and you should be on stock rooted.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] contagous:
Which CWM version do i want and will this include the radios if i do it this way, sorry kinda newb at this phone. very different to my bionic.

Thanks so much for your help tho

Eidt

I got into stock recovery and saw the android with the explanation point but when i click Volume up + power i get no menu...

I'm off to bed will check back in the morning and see if you have any ideas, thanks again for the help :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] contagous:
Finally got the stock recovery to work, however it only allows flashing from ./cache and i cant get my update.zip to cache without root right?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] contagous:
So decided to just unlock bootloader and then it let me root and push to ./cache and then i flashed the update.zip :)

All seems to be working now.

Thanks for all the help

I love the fact its so easy to unlock and lock the bootloader. very happy with that lol

is there a way to re root the phone once its on 4.0.4 IMM76K ? as the Galaxy Nexus toolkit stops at IMM30B...

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] contagous:
Nevermind :)

Somebody can me explain difference between software and hardware rendering ?

Software rendering consume more battery life ?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] doomed151:
Hardware rendering should be better in terms of smoothness and performance but somehow Sony managed to mess up something causing the UI to lag and stutter.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jjdoctor:
hmm... I will give this a go... But I have a question...

we already have build.prop tweaks that force HW acceleration like e.g

debug.sf.hw=1

video.accelerate.hw=1

debug.qctwa.statusbar=1

debug.qctwa.preservebuf=1

com.qc.hardware=1

Should these be removed or kept in build.prop...:confused:

wont they conflict with the patch...?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] zainthesnipe:

[Xperia Arc Android Development] Diskun:

Wouldn't software acceleration use much more CPU and decrease battery life?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] chitose_ndy:
Question,

Will it work on MIUI v4?

I assume it will work cause MIUI v4 is based also on ICS.

Outrageus, this kernel is truly awesome,

I was installing it to enable ClearBass on Walkman v.1, cause I was using Stock with CWM and no effects is enabled, but never really thought about performance improvement especially in gaming.

Usually I could only get Temple Run to run smoothly the first time after rebooting, after the first game it stutters and lags awfully.

But after using this kernel for 2 hours so far gaming is incredibly stutter and lag free. I've tried 5 games of Temple Run, and thinking I have to try multitasking too.

I started the Walkman app, play a music, minimize Walkman and launch Temple Run... still stutter and lag free gameplay (also stutter and lag free Music from Walkman)! Awesome.

I'll report back after a week or if there's trouble in paradise (btw, I'm using Rooted stock 0.587 ROM)

Thank you very much for this kernel.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] gpkumaran:
@anyone,

1. Does this Support SWAP Partition?

2. How`s the battery life?..
[Xperia Arc Android Development] malih16:
Read my configuration (ROM/Kernel) in my signature, I reset battery through CWM and through Sony method (unplug battery for 30 seconds), and full charge it,

I actually change from ondemand to interactive Governor.

Receiving a couple of SMSes, one email, with a couple of minutes in Twitter app

WiFi on (my WiFi is always on when at home or office), Network set to 2G, Gmail/Twitter/Whatsapp sync on, Location service on,

One percent takes about more than 20+ minutes for me. So with similar usage it would last approximately 2000 minutes / 60 minutes = 33.33 hours,

Probably with my variable normal usage (opening Apps, downloading App updates) somewhere between 20-22 hours, this is without Gaming.

Edit: This is assuming that battery percentage is not bugged, I had this before where the phone stays 100% the whole 2 hours, but when I restart it drops to ~70%
[Xperia Arc Android Development] gpkumaran:
thank you very much @malih, i`m getting somewhat similar battery.. thank you..

1. With HSPA on, i get 2.9 to 3.4% /hr,

2. HSDPA only, i get 2-2.4% /hr

3. with 2g i get 1.8-2%/hr

All the above with k9mail(one a/c), FB, Whatsapp, Twitter, Viber etc. on..I choose 400m-1.4g interactive while screen on and 122m-500m conservative while scren off.

all above while screen on..

I was wondering if there was a way to make the phone force choose HSDPA instead of HSPA mode.. I see it in a lot of samsung threads..but nothing regarding xperias...

the ro.ril.hspxa=1 in the build.prop doesn`t seem to help.. :\ does anyone have any idea?

---------- Post added at 01:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:19 PM ----------

[Xperia Arc Android Development] gpkumaran:
and i`vea small problem with this kernel, with wifi tethering on in stock .587, it disconnects when screen goes off..
[Xperia Arc Android Development] malih16:
I'm using baseband 77,

and I'm posting this using my laptop connected to the arc S portable hotspot that's been on for 10 minutes, it doesn't disconnect when the screen is off for me, so it might not be the Kernel.

So far my battery has reached 50% after 12 hours, with previously mentioned usage plus App updates, ~10 minutes of gaming, ~30 minutes portable hotspot usage, few minutes calling, battery life is looking pretty good so far, no issue with baseband 77.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DzikBagienny:
After flash this kernel I can't see any new governors and OC possibilities. Why ? Others kernels works fine
[Xperia Arc Android Development] gpkumaran:
Thank you.. Anyway, Offtopic: Will you please explain here how you calibrated your battery?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] malih16:
I got it from the Sony Mobile forum, this was posted by Sony Support Staff, I bookmarked it, but the link is not working anymore, so here goes:

1. Charge your phone to 100%

2. Unplug charger, you can use the phone like you usually do

3. When battery reaches 50%, turn off the phone

4. Remove the battery for about 1 minute

5. Insert the battery and plug the charger, charge while it's off for at least 2 hours (or based on my experience, at least let it reach full charge and wait for 30 minutes after that before unplugging charger)

6. That's it, battery is now recalibrated

According to my experience it's always working for me, I'm not sure, but different phone may have different experience.

Issue flashing the kernel

Hi,

I have a LT15 running LT15i_4.1.B.0.587_Generic Global World, rooted, bootloader unlocked.

I flashed v1.52 with this command: fastboot flash boot KTG_anzu_v1.52.elf

At the reboot I keep on getting:

Unfortunately process Keypad has stopped

Unfortunately process com.android.phone has stopped

To solve the issue I have to reflash the whole firmware.

I tried to search the forum, but I couldn't find a solution.

Do you know what I'm doing wrong?

TIA
[Xperia Arc Android Development] AwesomeARC:

Hey....

why dont u try change the name from ktg_anzu_v1.52 to boot...

Issue flashing the kernel [SOLVED]

I'm replying to myself as I found a way to solve the problem.

It seems that it was all due to the missing /system/vendor

I connected as root to adb and issued:

rmdir /system/vendor

ln -sf /data/idd /system/vendor

After a reboot everything is OK.

I'm still puzzled as my device looks different from the others, though. :confused:

Thanks anyway to AwesomeARC for his suggestion.
