we have a perfect phone with amazing screen. but... .
its well knowed to any android owener that allways the wall-paper maximum traction on the screen is leaving a few percent down to dock and his apps\symbols and a few percent up to the bar and his apps\symbols, while the background of the bar\docks stays black\glass.
back in my merry days with the WM6.5 I recall there was software that really stretched the entire wallpaper including the bar and dock, and clearly saw the apps\symbols on the dock\bar but the background of them was the Wall-paper i cosed.
it was very Beautiful and really Reflected and showed the ALL SCREEN.
needless 2 say that worked on\with any luncher !
Utilization of the screen background picture - really makes an amazing phone.
does Anyone know such a method\app that doing the same in Android and works with our phone ?
tnx
If you use a launcher like launcherpro and you download on app like Flikie Wallpapers you can stretch your wallpaper and see it through all of your screens and dock. If you select a picture do it with Flikie to get it on all the screens.

Anyone know goog tool to resize wallpapers to fit my Archos 101?
If selecting new pic from gallery, it goes blurred when set to wallpaper and most of picture is 'outside' of visible backround.
Sent from my A101IT using Tapatalk
good wallpaper an archos gen 8 is a pain, the stock wallpaper system does indeed zoom your pics and looks blurred (slightly better on png than jpgs) , you can try over laying you own pics onto a larger canvas putting it sort of top right but i find this very hit and miss 2 apps can solve your problem but both have issues .
multipicture live wallpaper is one way and can give excellent results if set up correctly. You can have single picture for all home screens (works best if scrolling disabled) or a dif picture for each home screen which i find a bit slow.However the drawback is battery usage, and delay when coming out of heavy use app like browser.
The other one is crop wallpaper app which has centering issues on most launchers but works quite well on go launcher ex but has issues crashing quite often, at least on my 70 250gb ! i have tried them both with very impressive homescreen results but have gone back to stock wallpaper in favour of stabilty and superior speed
good luck
Hey guys and girls this will be my first android device and reading up on all the apps and widgets is a little daunting.
So this is the question : im going to be changing my dock icons because they remind me to much of my current Iphone 4, So i need a launcher?
What launcher does everyone suggest i try out and why?
I dont mind paying for a launcher just as long as its not to buggy or a memory/power hog.
Thanks in advance.
i'm going to go for LP Sense:
https://market.android.com/details?id=fr.clockwidget.lpslatesense
runs great on my Hero...just need to get a SGS2
why use a different launcher off the block.. try the new twiz 4 launcher that comes with it first for a while..
I personally like ADW EX i like the swipe animations and the overall feel of it on my EVO. I have seen it run slowly on lower power devices. The level of customizations that are available to the user is amazing. And you can get it for free in some Roms. Thats how i stumbled upon it. It has several ways to anaimate screen swipes. But if you want a true 3d effect try shell 3d. I dont know of a way to get it for free but i did try it out for a while and it was pretty cool, but it even felt kind of slow on my evo.
Ive gone with slide screen its beautiful, how about a lock screen, this drag the background thing is so poor

Try LauncherPro.. The best in my opinion
I tried launcher pro and finds its not smooth atm on this phone, it feels a bit jerky when going in to the apps window.

That's weird, it's flawlessly smooth on my Galaxy S 1. However, if you're using a live wallpaper then the transition into the app drawer (and then scrolling through it) is stuttery.
Apart from that, I'd throw my vote to LauncherPro too, especially if you buy the Plus version.
Reasons:
- Easily resize widgets and change homescreen grid sizes
- Virtual looping of homescreens (get to the end and it'll flick back to the farthest, no need to scroll all the way back)
- Homescreen transitions (instead of boring sideways scrolling can have 3D flips or the widgets rotate away)
- 'Plus' adds lots of extremely handy smooth, scrollable widgets almsot identical to what HTC Sense provides
- These widgets have now been made theme-able as of the latest update
- Can use in landscape or portrait
- Scrollable dock (scroll through 3 docks of 5 icons each)
- Dock icons and background can be changed, so my icons look like WP7's
- Can set an action for swiping up from any dock icon (eg: touching Internet icon launches the browser, but swiping the Internet icon instead displays a list of bookmarks!)
- On my Galaxy S was smoother for me than ADW

I'm going to use the wp live wallpaper so I don't need a clock, but I do like the animated weather on wake up ( reminds me of my HD2 love you forever and ever ) so that sounds like a good pick.
what about go launcher ? any thoughts?
And I've seen touch wiz in vids I like the tiled widgets but I dislike the dock icons looking like iPhone. so can I Change the dock icons to stock android without a launcher?

No I dun think so. You would need to use another launcher if the dock is definitely a no-go for you.

i actually don't use the LP Sense clock, I use FancyWidgets, like you say...far more customisable.
See screen shot:
My suggestion
What about the VTL Launcher 1.6.2 ??
It's a matter of taste really, GO Launcher, LauncherPro and ADW are all great. SPB Shell 3D is good if you like eye candy, but pretty expensive.

can you set the weather widget and have the animation, like rain but have the widget invisible?
I just want to see my wp clock wallpaper and have the weather show like the clouds and the rain and thunder but not see the widget? if you cant ill settle for picking a small widget?
Thanks again for all the replys guys they are helping a tone.
Also what launcher has more icon themes ?
Launcherpro for me. Smooth as silk, really quick and it just works...
Launcher pro is not as smooth as before with sgs2. it was better on my htc desire.
I have been using AWD EX as not being able to change the messaging for Chomp SMS on the touchwiz was driving me mad. But I am getting cronic lag on switching screens. Not all the time. Just often enough to be anoying. Reading what others have been saying, I can only assume we need to tweek the phone a bit.
Any scrolling wallpaper app with slideshow feature?
So it could display highest quality scrolling wallpapers without reducing, or cropping, but also could auto change the wallpapers every X minutes or hours?
Are you talking about something like the HOX? When you change from a main screen to another the wallpaper scroll a bit, is that what you're talking about?
I do not own HOX, but scrolling wallpaper - we already have that on SGS3, just we set 1 photo for it to show.
What i want is to auto change the wallpapers, so I select a folder with wallpapers and it does the job
wallpaper changer on playstore do the job

Hi thanks so much for the app, I love this wallpaper changer!
There is a Thanks button for that
Multipicture live wallpaper is the best I have seen, you can set it so a different wallpaper comes up on every home screen, and you can chose set pictures for 1 home screen and cycle through a folder for the others! They cross fade into each other which looks great as well

Scrolling wallpaper feature is useless if you want to have different wallpaper on each screen
I was hoping someone could help me sizing widgets for the nexus screen.
I wanted to make a grid that fit together with no spaces in between like on that market screenshot for the app.
My plan uses 4x1 and 2x1 widgets so I wont need the other sizes.
I had it set up pretty good on my lg but with the different screen sizes it doesnt match on the nexus.
I have my screen set to 5 rows and 4 columns so I was looking to do a 4x1 at the top then 6 2x1s and then a 4x1 at the bottom.
Any help would be much appreciated.

are those tiles or just hotspots? if the lines aren't visible you can just set it as your wallpaper and use DVR to create invisible icons using a "blank picture".
if not, find out what your phone resolution is and your gonna have to edit the picture to find the proper alignment to match the widget sizes...i have made a bunch of custom homescreens (its a pain to get the alignment right sometimes)..but if it looks good in the end, its worth it
it shouldnt be too difficult though, that set up isn't complicated

Thats a good idea, so your saying create it all as one picture and then set it to wallpaper then use invisible icons for widgets right?
The only problem I can see for that is what about the wallpaper for the rest of my screens?

1. yes
2. are you using scrolling wallpaper or is it static?
either way the concept will still work...just that scrolling wallpaper may take you longer to figure out the alignment
if you can post the picture you are going to use and an idea of what you want i can help you with more specific questions

I did something like that when I was using multiple wallpaper but I much prefer the scrolling wallpaper so I stopped using it.
How would this work with a scrollable wallpaper when you see the same part of the wallpaper on 2 separate screens?
This was the screen I had with multiple wallpaper.
The thats the wallpaper Im currently using.

ive actually never seen someone use a "tile" setup with scrolling wallpaper...it can be done but obviously there will be overlapping points..the icons would be on separate screens and with blank images so it would just be the wallpaper shifting not the icons (since they arent visible)
in my opinion, if you are going to use a tile set up it would be best to use static wallpaper...i know you posted a picture of the wallpaper but it doesnt really give me a clear idea as to what you are doing

What Im doing or trying to do is just what that screen shot is. Have a check list type screen to launch apps from.
I found a desktop visualizer addon called dvrimageslicer that I thought was the answer I was looking for but for some reason it only crops images with no gaps on the top and bottom. So it looks exactly how I want it to when I only use 4x1 widgets but when I use more than one widget on the same row it leaves a gap on the left and right sides of each widget.

sorry for the late response...by gap do you mean visual gap or space that you cant click? (like a blank unused icon space)
that setup is very simple
use an app like photoshop to design the layout as a background...then use blank icons as mentioned previously
the most difficult part of the entire thing is going to be getting the spacing right...but that you can done in a matter of minutes
Another happy new Mix owner here. Given that the main feature of this phone is the bezel-less screen, this makes the home screen layout and wallpaper choice particularly significant to the overall effect.
I usually go for something dark but in this case I have gone for bright and minimalist to bring out the edges of the screen.
What are others doing?
Love the Clock, Is it part of a theme or standalone?
