[General Questions and Answers] TheGiantHogweed:
Well, I have looked all over the place for information, and am still really struggling to set a desktop background on many of my tablets in landscape that doesn't zoom right in and ruin it. I have already asked about a week ago ( #44340 ) providing images from two of my tablets that shows the problem. I thought it would be a pretty simple answer really. It doesn't just seem to be a problem with one device. I have now tried 3 tablets, and they all zoom into the backgrounds when in landscape and look horrible, even if you scale them down the the resolution of the screen.

Surely there is a way to prevent this happening? Is there any other program that you can set your background with rather than the default "wallpapers" one? I am wondering if it is to do with the program being used to set it that seems to oversize the wallpapers when in landscape mode.

It isn't to do with the wallpaper being over several screens. I would understand it if that was the case. I only have one background on all my tablets where the apps are. It is very frustrating how such a simple thing doesn't seem to be possible to sort out. Why would you be unable to get even the default wallpapers to fit the screen in landscape?
[General Questions and Answers] ktmom:
I'm not positive, but setting the display size to something different than the resolution might cause this. There used to be an app; Wallpaper Wizardrii, that was effective at solving these issues. Maybe it exists on apkmirror.com. using a different launcher might also help.

how to odex an apk ?
[General Questions and Answers] TheGiantHogweed:
I have tried that app just now, but i think it is probably a little to old to be stable now given the latest release i can find was from the middle of 2016. I did try it and it seems you can edit the size of the picture, but then i know how to do that on my PC before hand. No matter what i do on vertically every tablet i try, it zooms into the picture. The only thing I can think of doing would be putting a large black border round the image i am wanting so it crops that instead, but this shouldn't be something that I need to do. It seems all android devices I have used from 7.0 onwards have had this problem and it just makes no sense to me. Do only a very limited number of people use their device in landscape? Or even notice that their device zooms in? I am really puzzled that this issue is not discussed more given 3 of my tablets have it.

I have tried with over 4 programs now to set the background, and they all have the same result - look fine when you confirm what you are setting, then look horrible and oversized when you go to the home screen. The example pictures this time were from and set through the google wallpapers app.

I also tried changing the display size as you mentioned it. I had it on small so tried putting it to its largest. That changed the icons and many other things, but the wallpaper still had the same issue. It always seems to zoom in towards the top left. Such an odd and random thing to happen.

Is there anywhere else you could suggest i ask for some advice about this? Will it be to do with android or the apps? It is such a basic thing that i think is ridiculous that it doesn't work properly. I don't think it can be me missing something obvious or one device not being compatible given several have it.

Recently got a Samsung Galaxy Watch & found a app called Facer with amazing watch faces however so many users report terrible battery drain because of the app, so my question is, is it possible to install the watch face without having the app?
[General Questions and Answers] CosmoGalaxyQueen:
I need some help figuring something out about my phone please it is a "Kyocera Hydro Reach" I have recently found out that's to this site how to remove unwanted apps such as apps that came with the phone. But still not much for room has been added to the phone. So now I'm adding 1 freaking app at a time and moving each one to the SDcard that is inside the phone. Which I find frustrating. I have looked in the settings for the apps I wish to move and am able to move them one by one. I have even tried to move a simple "Bingo Game App" from the apps stored on my phone too the SDcard and it wont move I tried to move it a few times. And I know there is plenty of space on the card but it just wont move. I have all the current downloaded apps moved to the SDcard except for this 1 game and I can't download any more games to place on the card because the phone doesn't have enough space on it to download the games. So I was wondering if there is a app I can download and mess with the settings to bypass storing them on the phone and downloading them straight to the card instead.

What I'm try to do is basically move the downloaded apps to the SDcard but the bingo game wont move with using settings and then going into apps. And I don't know how else to do it. I even tried a app called "Files To SD Card" but once I download the app and then tried to find the bingo game listed inside the app I could not find it to move it to the SDcard.

Is there anything I can do to fix my problem. Thank You in advance.

You don't say what android version you are running. There used to be ADB commands that defined the default install location;

"adb devices" (verify ADB finds you device)

"adb shell pm get-install-location" (note current location)

"adb shell pm set-install-location 2" (set location to sdcard)

"adb shell pm get-install-location" (verify location updated)

This may no longer work though.

There are app managers in the play store that you could search for. This one might work.

[General Questions and Answers] Raresh T:
Mate, some apps do support being moved to sd card, some dont. Its simple as that. If the app was designed not to be moved to the sdcard, you cant move it.

Now, there are some ways to increases the space. You could disable and delete all data from any system app, that is accessible without root. Second, if you dont rely that much on Google Play Games app ( the app with all the achievements) and you dont buy games from the playstore, you could install a third party store, like Apkpure. Then proceed to disable google play store and services. These alone counf for around 300 mb. The last resort would be to root your phone and then uninstall with root every non game app from the phone.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
You could try some "wallpaper tablet" at Play Store, assuming that these kind of apps are designed to fix these kind of issues. I had a similar problem with an AOC tablet but not in my last Hyundai, probably the error resides in how the launcher manages the resolution of the image also here are two other silly possibilities, before to simply select an image maybe you can "simulate"crop it but resizing it as larger you want, and the other option not allowing scrolling wallpaper.

[General Questions and Answers] TheGiantHogweed:
Right, now I look into it more, this zooming problem looks to be extremely common. I have found a lot of information about it, but from getting on for 10 years ago so I really don't know if these solutions will work now. I will try following somebody's advice on wallpaper wizadrii then as that seems to be the most suggested app though it is pretty old now.

Regarding you mentioning "simulate" crop, I'm not sure what that is either. Is scrolling wallpaper when you slide to one of your other backgrounds and you move along the background too? The wall paper is fixed zoomed right in my case so i would guess scrolling wallpaper is off.

Es File explorer lets you select the area of the picture you want. Even if i select all of it and set the background, it looks like it redirects you to the default android program that sets the backgrounds (same with every program i have used) and I think it seems to be this that always zooms in too much.

Someone on the old forums i have looked at said that while all other apps failed to solve this issue, wallpaper wizadrii seemed to fix it.

I will give it a go.
[General Questions and Answers] TheGiantHogweed:
I have now tried with wallpaper wizzardrii and i get a different and bizarre result.

I don't think I can use this program correctly anyway as it keeps crashing. It isn't recent enough to be stable it seems. One screenshot is simply of my home screen with the default wallpaper, which already zooms in as I said. Then i simply set that screenshot as the wallpaper through the default app and you can see what happens. Then i tried with wallpaper wizzardrii and that just seems to put the picture at the correct size, but shifts it down to the bottom right. Which in a way makes sence as I think the problem with the tablets as they always zoom in towards the top left corner. But why? This is baffling me... It seems needlessly complicated to do the simplest of things such as setting a wallpaper to fit the screen.

Maybe I don't understand what scroll or no scroll is. I don't see an option for this anywhere other than in this app (which doesn't seem to sort the issue out). I have tried to look it up in google. Is it an option in the android settings?
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
I referred to something like center wallpaper to avoid that Wallpaper Picker get trying to fix it along all the pages of your desktop to make it scrolling, at this way if for example your desktop has 3 pages then it´ll try to fix it to match along of all them.

Anyway which launcher are you using? Did you try with other launcher like Nova or other with more options? Did you try with something like "wallpaper tablet" apps from Play Store that I mentioned before? This happens when in portrait too? I don´t recommend that you select an image from an app like ES File Explorer so these kind of apps ever ask to crop it and the result is not so good like from the launcher itself.

[General Questions and Answers] bken:
So I'm trying to modify an .apk while keeping the signature intact. I've read a lot of people say that if you just open it in 7zip or WinRAR and modify the files in there, then it won't touch the signature. But when I do this and try to adb install it I get "Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES]" which implies something is a muck. I can't uninstall and self-sign because I can't let the app's cache clear.

I've been testing this and found that if I load the .apk and change a single character in a non-critical text file ("Definition" -> "Deffnition" in license.txt) and save, it will give me the above error. But then if I change it back and save again voila it installs perfectly! So it's not the act of changing it that is messing things up, but it looks like some kind of checksum is breaking?

I'm not entirely sure how the signatures work, but how can I keep it intact when changing the .apk?

Long story short(ish), my gf accidentally deleted a bunch of photos off Instagram and didn't have them saved on her phone anymore :crying: so they're lost, except they're in my massive cache folder. Which gets complicated as I'm not rooted and I can't unlock my bootloader without deleting all of them, and you can't adb backup cache, or pull it without root. So I got the apk from adb backup and I'm trying to modify the AndroidManifest to enable debugging, so I can run-as and pull the applicable cache data, and recover the lost photos. I've got everything I need, the only step left is to install this .apk

Rooted Sph-L710/Factory Reset

Hello! I've been reading through a lot of threads on XDA and wasn't able to come up with a solution to my problem, or even find anyone who made the same mistake I've made. I'm absolutely a noob :D, rooted my Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III successfully a few weeks ago, but since then have run into one problem I'm not sure can be fixed..

I flashed the PAC-man ROM to my phone without any issues, but being a nightly ROM there were always updates to perform. My phone downloaded 7 of the same update at one time, and in doing so used up the last of my internal storage. I googled my problem and after reading around found that performing a factory reset would fix the issue.

I had forgotten that rooting my phone means giving myself total system access. I realized a little too late that I had completely wiped out my phone, Nandroid backup, internal SD, anything that gave my phone the Samsung name, all gone. My phone still works fine, but now I am told that I am improperly rooted (via Root Checker). I followed this guide, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2011491, to initially root my phone so I gave it another shot. Everything in Odin went fine but upon checking for Root access I was told I am still improperly rooted.

So basically my question is should I unroot my phone and try again or simply wait until I can get a new phone? I don't mind using it as is, but I'd like to fix it if I can.

Any help would be appreciated!

Maybe reflashing PAC-rom can solve it. Or you can flash another custom rom. Or flash stock rom and try again.

[superSU] su-binary update fails on GT-N8100

I signed up because I encountered a problem which I still cannot solve after hours of work - unfortunately, noobs cannot post in development forums, so I'm hoping for help here.

I want to use superSU with my Galaxy Note 10.1 (GT-N8010, Android 4.1.2, all stock), but when I start superSU, it wants to update the su-binaries, which always fails and makes the superSU close immediately.

I rooted the device via Odin, and it seems to work when using superuser by clockworkmod and the terminal-app also shows "#" when entering "su". However, there is at least one app that doesn't provoke the root-prompt when using superuser and hence fails with the error "root needed". The "root checker free"-App from the play store always says "not properly rooted", for both superSU and superuser.

The error with superSU is probably that there is no su-file in system/bin/. Why doesn't superSU create it when installing?

Updating the binaries fails every time, no matter if I try installing it normally or in custom recovery. Deleting cache in recovery or the "down- and reupgrading superSU"-method also didn't work, like all the other workarounds I googled or found here on xda.

Flashtool Drivers intalling issues on Win 7 x64

Hi all!

I wanted to post this on the developers forum, but, apparently I don't have enough post done yet.

I have a computer with: Win 7 Ultimate 64 bits

I've downloaded and installed: Flashtool Version 0.9.12.1 built on 2013-06-04 22:50:00

How ever, when running the Flashtool-drivers.exe I get the following error:

"DPInst.exe cannot be executed on your Current Operative System"

This, when trying to execute: dpinst64.exe

And so the installation of the drivers doesn't complete and I can't continue flashing Jelly Bean on my Xperia P LT22i :crying:

I've read a suggestion on maybe installing flashtool on a 32 bit device, which I currently don't have.

Has any of you had this issue? Is there a previous version of flashtool that I can get and works correctly? Is there a way I may get the drivers installed in an other way?

Plz guys any help you can provide will be welcomed!

Flash the stock firmware and kernel for ur device models only Via Pc odin..

Get the imei no. fom the back of device or from the box. Back it up. Also Note it down..it comes handy

Then After getting to stock check the device status via root checker.

And then use cf autoroot or any rootkit available for rooting..

Also Cm would have backed it up also see from recovery that is any restore available.it won't hurt to do so.

Try these and post here

---------- Post added at 04:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:52 PM ----------

Firstly make sure sim is working fine. Check it using in other device.

And

Check if the imei is correct or not..

and then juand post herest flash the modem seperately from the stock rom of ur device.

---------- Post added at 05:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:55 PM ----------

It could be because of the incompatibility or support of supersu in samsung's devices as the busybox have diff script and binaries. So it's better to use only 1 app either superuser or supersu...Selection depends on you..

So

Backup the data..

Again unroot the device.

and the reroot it using the rootkit u like..and use superuser.and check the root access

And post here

---------- Post added at 05:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:00 PM ----------

It could be as most likely flashing of the firmware replaces cwm.

So basically try to install the latest Cwm version supported for ur device. It'll work.

"Superuser Request" force close

I have a problem with my superuser request - when I enter any root-access required app the "Superuser Request" stops, forcing me to force close it. I'm not sure what's causing it, but I have an idea - the app that I installed "App.Hide free" ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kei.android.appshidefree). Basically it hides apps that u choose (you can't see it on the launcher).

I chose a few apps, Superuser includes. After a while, I decided that I don't want it, so I uninstalled it, and then all the hidden apps - was kept hidden. I tried some thing to get the apps back, and they didn't work. Yesterday though, I tried to uninstall and download again (the Superuser) and to my surprise it worked (when I tried it before it didn't work). But now, even though it came back, the Superuser Request is still force closing and I can't use any root-access app. Again, I'm only saying it's an option that it related to the "Apps.Hide" app, it might as well be something else. General information about my phone - Xperia PLAY r800i, rooted without anything but root access.

Please help as soon as possible.

Ah I think i see now. The apps i used to set the background must always direct me to the same launcher that causes the problems. The issue is, I am very bad at getting used to things. When I installed Nova, it asks me a load of things i don't really understand and totally changes the layout and interface of everything I am used to. I fully understand it may be able to sort the issue out, but I haven't worked that out yet.

I'm not sure what you mean by "wallpaper tablet" apps. Do you mean any specific ones that appear in the list on my screenshot provided? Google LLC was one i tried and that had the same problem.

When I set my own pictures as the background, it does seem to have the issue weather in portrait or landscape.

Can you suggest another launcher that won't change too much of the tablets interface?

Sorry for my lack of understanding. I'm not very good at understanding instructions and i just seem frustrated about how complicated it is to get a picture to fit the screen. I can't understand the need for any apps to zoom in on them.
