[Question] Wallpaper quality with TF3D

HI
I have a question, hopefully someone knows.
If I set up a wallpaper in TouchFlow3D then its like the quality of the wallpapers reduces. When I Turn TF3D off, then make the same image as wallpaper, then i do see it at its perfect quality.
How can i have same quality with TF3D????????????
Thanks for your help in advance

Hi Haru.
This question has been asked many times. however - the answer is basically that HTC decided that to save processor power the background would be shrunk to a low-resolution image (512x512 IIRC) before being displayed on the screen.
Why - we can't figure out.

[Q] whats wrong with my bootanimation?

Hi
I have gotten a working bootanimation.zip and it worked 100%. But i edited it so that it would fit even better for me but after i edited it it just wouldn't open. I created the edited bootanimation with the Boot Animation Creator but it's still just a black screen.
Plz can any1 check it out?
What am i doing wrong?
All i did was removing some letters and adding "HTC quietly brilliant" logo and then saved the pics but they were saved in indexed colors so i then had to resave them in RGB mode. It then said it was in RGB/8. After that was done i was able to make the bootanimation.zip with the creator and then i just pasted over the old desc.txt into the zip.
Can any1 tell me what i did wrong?
Here are the not-edited version that is working
and the edited that isn't working
Thanks alot in Advance
EDIT: I just read that in order to make it work there has to be no transparency. I don't know if there was transparency but I will try to remove the alpha channel and see if it changes anything.

What are you using to save the edited pictures, as could be wrong bit depth. I think pngs need to be 24-bit (can't remember off the top of my head). I know Paint.net (nothing to do with MS Paint) will let you save to different bit depths - Gimp probably would as well.

I also read that the 8-bit/channel in rgb is the same as 24-bit color depth in pgn. I'm doing it all through Photoshop. I will try also in paint.net if it doesn't work.
I read it all here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1560836

EDIT: There is one thing that bothers me. When i extract the working bootanimation photoshop says that all the pics are not in rgb mode but in indexed colors. Then im wondering how come the bootanimation is working then?
EDIT 2: Well i solved the problem by comparing with a working pgn bootanimation. I saw that the working bootanimation had Layer 0 instead of Backgroung and so i put my pics in Layer 0 and then it worked but was slow. After that I used a program to reduce the size and then I put the pics into Layer 0, RGB 8-bit/channel again and then just hit save and the bootanimation was reduced with more than 1 mb and the bootanimation isnt slow anymore but its almost perfect.

[Q] Changing the color of the menu

Sorry for the new thread, i don't know how to search for it, that's why I made a new thread. I have a Note N7100 white, and I would like to change the color(skin) of the menu/settings/messages etc. that is black to white. That's surely from android, but if it's someone who could tell me if it's possible, I would appreciate. I searched in all the settings, and I haven't found nothing. So the question would be >>> How can I change the skin from black to white?

they set it to black for a reason.
when amoled is forced to display white, it consumes more than twice the amount of power of an LCD screen trying to display white. you'll burn through your battery too quickly.
when an amoled is forced to display black, it switches itself off and consumes no power, which is why it is set to black by default.

If u want to change your background/color of messages/sms menu .. 1. Choose messages(app) 2. Hit menu touch key and choose settings and there u can change your display options..
I hope this helps for you (thought u wanted ro change only messages/sms menu)

[Q] What are the setting to make inset, cutout text

Hi!
Could somebody share with me the setting that are used to create an inset or cutout text effect?
Examples
Inset : designshack.designshack.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/css-textshadows-8.jpg
Cutout : [www].pinoy7.com/psptutorials/7/textcutout/images/img0.jpg
(can't post outside links yet =(( )
Guess is semantics on which term you use. I tried using a blur offset of 1 then -1 for both the x and y with a color that was lighter and tried even darker. Didn't really work for me.
Hope somebody can help! I'm learning and I've learned a lot just trying to recreate things I've seen!
Thanks many times in advance!

DPI change to conserve battery

I checked this thread and it turns out changing DPI is not that difficult
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/how-to/guide-how-to-change-dpi-root-t3335596?nocache=1
So, if i change the DPI from 401 to a lesser value (326), will it help to conserve some battery???

Bro u posted in wrong thread.....u should post in questions & ans....plz delete dis thread @parabvidit

No, changing the DPI only affects how elements are scaled on your screen, but the power used by the screen remains the same. It's just like zooming an image in and out.

on it

Nopes, changing dpi won't save any power. Changing screen resolution might save you some power at the cost of lower image quality.
