There has got to be a way to set a damn picture as a wallpaper without having to crop it.. I just want a regular pic as the wallpaper. Period. Like I could do 5 years ago with my damn A900 for christs sake!!

Has anybody figured out a root way or adb way or any OTHER way other than downloading aweful apps that crash every other day???????

Usually put the phone in landscape and use the left and right edges to expand. Should work. If that's not what you were saying I apologize.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerryparid:
Pictures has to be cropped, but you can massively expand the crop box.

I was so frustrated with my low-res crop until I discovered that you can expand the crop box to 800 x 480 resolutions.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _Cooze_:
Yeah no I don't know.. When I choose the pic from the gallery, it comes up, with a crop box, but landscape or portait I can only drag the crop box so big (which is only half the photo) So say I take a pic of my truck.. I cant have the whole picture just like it looks in the gallery.. I can only have some of the picture.. then once cropped and you click "set" it expands it even more... so damn frustrating....
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmegalodon:
Hmm...never tried it with an actual photo. >.<

Are you taking the pic in landscape mode so you have a wider pic to work with? (<-- silly question, I know >.< x2)

I noticed on my friends phone he had taken a cool pic with in portrait mode, so when he went to set it he could only do so much with it.

Have never had any issues using another pic/wp and using it all.

Could always go with illogic's reasoning as well, below
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] illogic6:
If your picture was of the correct aspect ratio, you wouldn't have to crop it. The default wallpaper in sense ROMs is 960 x 800. Photoshop the image you want to 6:5 and it'll work.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _Cooze_:
I've tried downloaded .jpg's and camera pics.. I can't get either to work right.. I tried resizing the pic to 960x800 in photoshop.. save it.. put it back on the sd card, open gallery, choose the pic, crop box still comes up and still can't choose the whole pic within the crop box.. I'm not on a sense rom.. running cm6 final...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] topdawgn8:
This was happening with my mom's Droid X. It was very frusterating. I know what you're talking about. Even though you crop a certain portion (albeit not all of the pic you want but you finally get to apoint where you'll settle) it blows the picture up even more and crops off more of the picture.

I don't know what the problem is yet, but I suggested to my mom to put on a higher resolution photo (she initially copied it from FB) and see what happens.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Success100:
use wallpaper set and save from the market, it lets you keep the native res on the wallpaper
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wuclan48:
I just use 3d gallery. No crop

Sent from the void...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sitlet:
If you used photoshop and created a 960x800 jpg, you should not have any cropping. Again, you are doing it wrong if you still get cropping. With a 960x800 picture, load it into wallpaper and you are given the crop box. long press on any of the sides, then expand to fill the whole picture. I have never had a problem with that.

If you are using pictures taken with the camera on the phone, there will be a small amount of cropping, because those pictures are not the same resolution that the wallpaper is. Especially if you take a landscape picture, you will have to crop a lot out.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] shaolin95:
Hi!

I was testing an OC kernel from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=698578

I went to recovery mode and selected the zip.

Then it rebooted and showed the MyTouch screen. It went black so I thought all was good then came back to it and now I cannot go pass that.

I can boot pressing vol down and power to the options stuff so I hope is not brick per se.

I am a Captivate guy so this phone is for my wife and I am just learning so any guidance is appreciated.

Thanks!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Romp:
Wow. I was about to break down and start a similar tread when I saw this one.

Here are all the details on my MyTouch 3G 3.5.

SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON G
HBOOT-1.33.0013 (SAPP31000)
CPLD-13
RADIO-2.22.23.02
Oct 21, 2009, 22:33:27

Anyway, I rooted the phone with the Universal Androot and then used ROM Manager to install the latest Cyanogen 6. Of course ROM Manager installed the latest Clockworkmod recovery.

I have tried pretty much every single OC kernel I could find that says its for CM6 and the 32A, but no luck.

It will either lock at a black screen or reboot. When I used the Dumfuq ones, it will reach the Cyanogen boot animation, but lock up there. The Dumfuq kernels has a note about "Requires setting scaling_max_freq in order to boot", but I haven't been able to locate anything helpful about how to do that or what I would set it to.

I have searched, but I seem to be an idiot and can't find anything helpful. Anyone have any hints, tips,... pity? :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] shaolin95:
I dont even see the Cyanogen animation just the MYTouch logo. Mine is 32b ubt hopefully the fix is the same for both.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] shaolin95:
Any tips on how to flash any ROM? I found a buyer for the phone and need to restore this asap...sorry guys

Actually pressing Home and power takes me to the Clockwork recovery mode...is that good news?

Update I was able to flash another OC kernel and boot. :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Romp:
So does anyone have any ideas? Asking for help here...
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] shaolin95:
Good luck cause as you can see I did not get a single hint on this one... so much for a helping hand...
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
You need to be flashing the 32B kernel, not 32A.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Romp:
Ok, I'll try, but I have to ask. Why? What is the 32A for if not for the 32A devices?

I am doubtful. We will see.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Romp:
HOLY C***! It did work.

So, correct me if I am wrong here:

1. The 32A will only boot the 32B OC Kernels

2. The warning about it REQUIRING scaling_max_freq being set is incorrect

Ok, am I the only one that sees that as both a bit confusing and misleading?

Thank you very much, DonJuan692006. It is running at 652 right now and I am enjoying the increased speed.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
I'm not sure about the scaling. But you use the 32B kernel on the myTouch 1.2 (Fender/3.5mm Jack) because of the hardware being a hybrid.

While I was racing last Wednesday evening, my wife took a video using the EVO. Now this is night time at the Las Vegas Speedway "The Strip" The video I thought was great. She has since changed some setting that seems to make it better. She shot the video in the MPG 4 WVGA 800 x 480. She has now changed it to H.264 WVGA the resolution defaults 800 X 480 that is the highest resolution at that setting. Here is the video she took. Prior to making the new settings.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJWEF6gdUTo&feature=email

She did shoot the video in the wrong orientation as this was the very first time she used the EVO video camera. She used a program Mobil media converter and it free ware. Use then used Windows Movie maker to compose the video. I am sure she will catch me at times when I am not doing so well.

Just thought what everyone would like to see a video taken in a night time sporting event as well as a noisy environment.

The EVO is version 2.2 out of the box and no rooting etc.

I never saw a 2000mah battery. I want to let you know, don't expect what you see in the picture. Those 1500mah ones are probably unbranded. It doesn't make a difference, as long as they work, I guess.

Just won the auction and got them for 9.50 plus 4.99 shipping. The ones pictured appear unbranded as well. They don't say HTC. And if they aren't actually yellow, it doesn't matter. Until someone makes a clear back plate, no one will see.

[HTC Aria Accessories] iflip:
I'm a lil weary of those cheap non branded extended life batteries. If you go on amazon and read some of those reviews the users complain about this batteries not working after a certain amount of recharge cycles. The best off brand to trust has been seidio. Other than that just go oem. With a price that low it sounds like you could end up spending another $9.50 in a couple more months. Now, I love my ebay but that sounds too suspect.
[HTC Aria Accessories] jmreed97:
Well I'll report back how they work...
[HTC Aria Accessories] Anthony1s:
This is the seller's exact response when I asked him about returns.

'you can return it anytime if you done think the battery is what you exoected

but you will need to pay to ship it back

thank you'

I'm weary of buying them too, but he did say I can return 'anytime' and I plan on holding him to that word. If I get them, I'll test them with a voltmeter each week and ship them right back. Even if it's 6 months later haha.
[HTC Aria Accessories] jmreed97:

[HTC Aria Accessories] jmreed97:
Yeah... Just a couple hours. I'm not saying it is significantly better than OEM. I'm just saying it will work great as a backup. I also got a wall charger so one battery will be kept in my wallet as a backup and I will charge them both each night.

[HTC Aria Accessories] lilhaiti:
Don't believe the hype. It's pretty hard to make a battery with a higher capacity that is cheaper and is the same physical size. These batteries are compressed into these small packages and to increase the capacity without using more cells or larger cells, would constitute using more exotic materials, which would cost more. At best, these batteries are equal to OEM, but most are lower grade knock offs. The best application for any of these batteries is backup use

It's very simple to add the stock android keyboard.

You need root and the following 2 files

/system/app/LatinIME.apk
/system/lib/libjni_latinime.so

Copy these 2 files to the phone and «Android keyboard» will appear.

yes, you are correct. but if you downgrade your recovery module from 3e to 2e, which i did, then the update.zip should work as it will not seek for any signed verification.

now i know theres enough tutorials on this, and i know how the adb works, but i cant seem to 'push' my framework-res.apk back onto my phone after i've modified it.

here's what it says

C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/
failed to copy 'framework-res.apk' to '/system/framework//framework-res.apk': Permission denied

it seems i am missing some permissions. as i've mentioned, my phone is rooted, so i dont think thats the problem. anyone else having trouble trying to push apk's?

please help me out, id like some more customizing, but i cant seem to get past the 'permission denied'.

i've read a superuser authentication box is supposed to pop up when i keep the phone from going to stand by, but nothing is happening.

when i went to the adb shell and run 'su' i did get the box..
