[General Questions and Answers] ssijt28:
Hey,

Can any one tell me how can I save a picture in the default wallpaper folder of my android device??

As every time I set any picture that is not a default picture of my set I've to crop it. I'm using 2 different android devices, one of them is Samsung galaxy star pro, this one is rooted. I've been searching the net for this issue and found that it's packed with the launcher.apk, if it is true then is there any way by which I can set my images without cropping and without using any apps(like image2wallpaper and all)????

I've also tried different kinds of apps, but the results are not satisfactory, in many cases the images is zoomed or some other problem.

So it would be much easier if I can simply put my photos directly into the default WP folder, then I wont have to use any app.
[General Questions and Answers] madcapfrog:
As far as i know size must be horizontal x 2 + vertical x1

Like if you have 720*1280 screen, wallpaper must be 1440*1280

İ am not so sure tho.
[General Questions and Answers] Konno_Yuuki:
I've noticed this too. Part of the cropping 'problem' is due to they way Android is made. As Android is used on both devices that work in portrait (like phones) and landscape (most larger tablets), the OS is made to encompass both. Your default launcher on the other hand may restrict your orientation but the Android OS still has to take in account for the other orientation. This can make finding a wallpaper that works well difficult. The general rule is to find a square image that matches your screens height. This will result in the best, centered, crop.

As for where the default wallpapers are stored, I don't know. I poked around my device for a bit and didn't find any of them. My assumption is they are stored in a system app or archive.
[General Questions and Answers] ssijt28:
even if I maintain the aspect ratio the scrolling won't work with any images except the default ones. Do you have any suggestions for that ?
[General Questions and Answers] Konno_Yuuki:
That is most likely a restriction of your devices' launcher. An aftermarket launcher like Nova will give you that scrolling effect no problem.
[General Questions and Answers] MaelStorm16:
Try CM11 kitkat. It donT really crop the image.
[General Questions and Answers] susuchoco:
agree.. i used Pro-bam based on cm11 . and it show give the best view on wallpaper. although it is not show the full of image.

I mean after rooting and unlovking what steps as a juniot I should not take?
[Sony Xperia L] csocaciu:
cautious steps

i am a junior too. got my phone 2 months ago and i am not a developer, even though i have some IT expertise. up until now, i messed up the android on this phone probably 20 times and reinstalled it everytime in a couple of minutes. i have tested lots of roms and kernels, some of them several times over and my impression is it's difficult to really brick it. maybe

not having a charged battery while flashing

, but that never happened to me.

try installing clockwork mod recovery after rooting, because it's really useful. then use extensively the backup it provides, before flashing something.

otherwise, follow the forums. these guys know what they do. :)

Hi

I am actually trying to port trusty tahr for my S3.

But I cannot get it to boot though everything i did, I suppose is correct (I also built a successful saucy, that boots well).

So my question is-> Is the ubuntu Trusty Tahr preinstalled image only for nexus devices? Or should I keep looking for problems in my source code??

In short, is the trusty tahr preinstalled image meant to run only on nexus devices or can it run on others too??

The thing is, if thats the case (preinstalled images are only for nexus), then I will move on to removing bugs in my saucy build.

Last updated date for i9505 is 7th January.

don't you think that your ROM is slightly never than that?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Obagleyfreer:
I can see why you may be confused, let me me explain.

6.04.5 is the current version of CWM that Philz is based on. The last 10 or so updates from Phil have all been based on this recovery. That's why it still shows 6.04.5.

You would have updated it fine but you're confused because of this.

A way to test if you have latest Philz version is to go to wipe Dalvik Cache, if it gives you an error line it's an old version. If it wipes dalvik without any mention of errors you have the latest.

There probably also somewhere in the settings that you can find the version you're on but I don't know where lol

So for now just use my arse about face method :P

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OuncE718:
16gb isn't that bad unless you download a ton of data, music, videos, etc. I never maxed out on my N4 although I was like 2gb-3gb away from it.

Do you use a lot of data? If so you also have the option of using a storage cloud (which I find somewhat inconvenient).
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GtrCraft:
I use around 6-7 gb of music and 1 gb of development stuff (like roms mods etc). I think 16 is enough but I need to sure because this will be my phone for at least 2 years
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OuncE718:
So that'll leave you with around 4-5gb. More than likely I'm willing to bet that you won't keep this phone for the full 2 years. Every time I get a phone I say the same thing but it never happens. The most I ever lasted with 1 particular phone was probably 10 months to a year. I think you'll be fine on 16gb or check eBay or some other site to see if you can get the 32gb version. I'm pretty sure there's a way to do so. Or even check the Marketplace section of XDA and see if there's a respected member that's willing to ship the phone to you granted you cover the shipping cost.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amirTor:
Sorry for the dumb quastion- but is your phone switched to download mode before you plug it to your computer?

Anyway, I suggest to try downloading newer version of Odin and check if it works, or get the 3.09 and try to flash 4.3 version.

(By the way, make sure that only 'Auto reboot' and 'F.reset time' are checked)

If it still doesn't work. i suggest trying to flash philz recovery and root (if you don't have it already):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2002953

and install CWM based rom from the variety of the dev section (I personally suggest the one in my signature).
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shi_IL:
Yes I switched it to download mode before I plug it in to my computer.

I downloaded Odin 3.09 but it looks diffarent and I'm not sure what boxes I need to check and where to upload the stock ROM file (some help would be great).

From what I've read about version 4.3 I think I want to wait a bit before flashing it. But I still want to try and flash the 4.1.2

If it dosen't work, why should I flash philz recovery (what exactly is it?)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amirTor:
in 3.09:

cp = phone

bl = bootloader

ap = pda

everything else is similar. and you dont need to check anything. just load the rom as pda, connect your device in downlaload mode, wait until the upper left square becomes blue with text "0:com..." and press start.

(By the way- rom of which country are you trying to download?)

philz recovery is cwm based custom recovery (like modded bios in pc) that lets you install roms without the need of using odin or pc). the link I gave you is the developer installing guide).

ps- I'm using 4.3 rom for about a month, and I can say for sure that the current known builds (mk6, ml2, ml4) are stable as any 4.1.2 rom and more
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shi_IL:
I think I found the problem but now I'm stuck.

I've downloaded a diffarente ROM stock version for my country and tried to flash it with Odin 3.07 and it failed.

Now my phone is "soft bricked" but I have noticed something.

When I bought the phone on eBay they listed it as a Galaxy S3 I9300 Factory Unlock. Now when I put the phone in download mode it says "Product Name: SGH-I747". Now correct me if I'm wrong but isn't that an AT&T version??

In my opinion, you have 4 different choices:

1- Try to flash SGH-I747 Stock rom with odin form Sammoblie- It supposed to work, but i don't familiar with the outcome in a case where your phone was been unblocked to use in other countries and carriers beside AT&T.

2- Try to install custom recovery following this guide:http://www.teamandroid.com/2012/08/24/install-clockworkmod-recovery-att-galaxy-s3-sgh-i747-odin/

and then try to install custom rom (considered to be less risky than the first choice, but yet again...)

3- Try to start your phone with safe mode (just pressing vol down button while it starts up), and try to instal CPU-z for android to check your real phone specs.

4- Try to ask the same quastion in above forums, hoping that someone has figured out a way.
