G1 crop tool oddity - G1 Themes and Wallpapers

Hi all and sorry if this is the wrong forum. Please feel free to move elsewhere & my apologies.
I am using a rooted G1 with 1.6 and Open Home Full v3.5 and something odd has started with the picture crop tool.
I was able to download or copy / paste any picture to the sd card, open it up, crop it to the 640x480 dimensions and set as wallpaper. When I moved screens the picture would track behind.
Lately I can only choose one vertical screen width and when I move screen the picture doesn't move at all. This happens even if I have created a wallpaper with the correct dimensions.
Can't understand why this is happening. I've tried uninstalling / reinstalling Open Home, using the Android Photoshop app, and just trying to set wallpaper from the menu button.
Any ideas?

Problem (I believe) solved
Hi all,
I believe that I have found the problem with this issue: Open Home.
I uninstalled it again, shut down & started the phone back up and tried cropping again - it worked just fine. I was able to select a wide area not just portrait.
To clarify: if I set a theme (like Cf's Hero) it's perfect. This only happens when I'm trying to create & set a picture that I downloaded to my phone.
I've written to Open Home's creator but so far haven't heard back.
Bummer. I really like Open Home and have been using it as long as I owned my G1 but this both sucks & blows. Hoping it's an easy fix.

Sunlight

How do you deal with the sunlight? My normal backlight setting is not bright enough and the max is not quite enough.
Also, does anyone know a way to map a key to toggle between two different brightness settings? Navigating those menus every time I enter or exit a building is too much.
Hi,
I had the same problem, sorted it by using the today plug-in LAUNCHER, download at http://www.freewareppc.com/utilities/launcher.shtml I then navigated the windows folder to the icon for back light, make a shortcut and paste into the launcher folder, then you can tap the icon on the today screen to open the back light controls, you must have your PC set to show hidden folders to access the windows folder on your PPC.
Hope tat helps,
Regards Steve C
doesnt work

Sorry about that try this http://www.freewareppc.com/ then look for launcher

Thanks for that mate.

just need to figure out what I need on it I guess you could also create larger icons so that they appear bigger.
must be possible plus setting and pasting in for tomtom etc etc etc.
Thanks again

Home Screen XML question

I found a theme that I liked on a Motorola Q forum. However the theme needed some help in my opinion. I was able to change images and adjust the x and y axis to get the text to display on different portions of the screen. The only issue that I have is with the home plugin. If I let my phone set with the home plugin (date, time Carrier) it always reverts back to SMS. I have moved the plugins around on the XML file, and I can get other plugins to appear at idle but not the desired home screen. Does anyone have any idea? I have attached the XML file (as a txt document) that I have been manipulating.

plz advise.... thks...
i understand that you have go to start/settings/today and use this picture as the background and choose image from your device or storage card?
yes but it could not work.. any idea how can go about this without activating the hard reset?
i have the same problem... :/
just rename the wallpaper you want in the existing one and replace,reset.
Where is the default file located, and what is it called..?
Just go to setting if you are using touchFLO, on the menu that slides below and choose wallpaper (home wallpaper) select no whe it ask to change default wallpaper and choose your picture, don't go to today or change wallpaper from the picture viewer it doesn't work, this problen is not fixed in the original rom.
Bye...

as far as I remember changing it on today would only be seen if you can see the today screen and with TF3D running , you can't see it
TF3D is effectively an app that hijacks the screen so it's background is the one you should change
if you are using TF3D you need to scroll to the settings tab on TF and choose wallpaper there.

Today Screen & Manila itself.

Hi all,
Question actually 2:
1) I checked but didnt find what I was looking for dont know if it even exists. Is there a standalone program out there that you can install and access from the programs menu so that if for any reason when manila crashes (which happens often) that you can hit start and then tap the icon to re-start manila? Cause many of times Manila will crash or hang and other then powering it off or taking the battery out, you cant restart it.
2) As for the today screen, I dont know thats why I am asking, I was toying with some of the editors posted around for the png and gui, and noticed you can compress alot of the images that appear. My question is, will it make a big impact to how the screen looks meaning jagged edges, ugly etc?, The reason I ask is cause since the today screen has alot going on, and being that manila is sluggish as it is, I was wondering is compressing the images or files, would speed up the loading process and speed up some of the loading from screen to screen.
1. You can use cleanram for this. It will clean you're memory and restart manila. Make sure you don't have manila on you're exception list.
Ive used this before. just saw there was an update thru the program (props for that feature). Just thought there was maybe a simple program that just restarted it. but thanx for the input!
anyone with any ideas for Q2?
Been using the MAX MANILLA rom for about 4 days now. the only issue I've been having is just GUI stuff and txt'n software prob.
EX:
1) the Digital clock will sometimes freeze (no biggy)
2) If I was to send a text on my device to somebody, it wont show up on the screen, I would have to change screens and then go back to my text messages to see it.
3) sometimes the device will show you have a txt when you've already read it.
Same goes for.......if i was to stay in the text messaging program and somebody sends me a text message, I'd have to move to another screen and then come back to the text screen to see it.
Anybody else having this issue?
Update here you guys. I dont know if its the reboot that fixed the txt messaging error or installing the ATT tilt2 keyboard fix.
But now my text messages are working properly. it shows up on the screen as i send it.
Thats great youngWMuser glad you fixed your problem, but it has nothing to do with the topic of the post. If you have issues create a seperate post to solve your issues, Thanx.
lol. sorry. I'm using Manilla and the thread said "today screen and manila itself" haha. That's why i posted on here. And the text problem still is occuring.
Rather than installing a program to take up more space, you could go to Start>Settings>Today, click on the Items tab. De-select Manila (in my case, it's TouchFlo 3D) and hit okay. It will take you back to the Settings page, select Today again and go back to the Items page and re-select Manila. When installing a new TochFlo 3D theme, I do that rather than doing a soft reset. It seems a little quicker to me.
Take a look at this. The "Things you should know" and "History" sections might help.
Just out of curiosity, what versions are your ROM and Manila
JCTerry,
Your right, but in the the 2.5 manila the setting page to get to all settings, still access a manila tab, which is of no use, but you did make me think of another way. Does anyone know what the CPL is to access the all settings page, I could just create a shortcut in the programs menu.
But I am still curious about the compressing of the files for the today screen, has anyone ever tried it?

[Q] Standard wallpaper gone after setting other wallpaper

Today I got my new Galaxy S2 and I tested some other wallpapers. But then I wanted to set the stock wallpaper back and it's nowhere to be found. The wallpaper I'm looking for is a view of the earth from space, where the earth itself (the continents) is made up of all sorts of vibrant colours (I don't know how to describe it in another way, it's like very big and colourful fireworks )
I have searched on Google, but couldn't find an example of it. The phone came with one of the latest firmwares, I9100CEKI2. I hope someone can help me out, I really liked that wallpaper. It's really strange, normally it should be possible to just set the original wallpaper back, isn't it? There are three categories to choose from, Background Gallery, Gallery and Live Backgrounds. The first has 5 backgrounds, but not the one I'm looking for, Gallery is still empty and it's not a live background, so it isn't there either.
I've already tried downloading and extracting an original firmware, but I have no tools to open the .img files from the update and I am a bit new to all this Samsung stuff. I've also tried looking around in all sorts of directories on the phone, like /system , /sys and so on, but I couldn't find it (and maybe it is inside some .apk file and I won't find it in a million years)
So if someone knows which background I'm talking about, please post it here or send me (a link to) the file. Thanks in advance!
Even factory reset doesn't bring the wallpaper back
I have the same situation??? How to back default wallpaper?
