Can't change camera resolution - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I'm trying to change the camera resolution for still pix, but stuck on <5MP. Anyone know how to change the resolution?
Thanks.

Click the settings button then the three dots. To change up and down you need to click the < or > symbol

It's not <5MP, it is 5 the "<" is the button to change it if you want lower resolution.

This really confused me at first too. I was expecting it to be a drop-down.

Resolution/dimensions of sliding wallpapper?

Hello,
What is the resolution/dimensions of sliding wallpapper? ( similar to default wallpapper that you find on a new Galaxy s) because I want to make custom sliding wallpappers.
And what is the extension/type of the picture? and in which folder I should put it?
And What I should do different if I want to do non-sliding (Fixed) wallpapper.
Thank you.
would also like to know this?

I made a custom one meyself last night and it's a million times better than using the crop tool in Gallery.
For a none slide use launcherpro, it has a setting that stops the wallpaper slide if you want that, its in the preferences/appearance settings.
Thanks for the info, I would rather a non-sliding wallpaper.
Is there no way to make it a different picture for each of the 7 screens?

I thought of making a Live Wallpaper that did this (or just displayed a static image that didn't scroll) and fiddled with the SDK last night. Only problem is I suck at Java. If I could use Visual Basic I could have done it in about 10 minutes.
Maybe someone more competent at Android developing could take this idea and make it a reality.

Thanks everyone, but I tried 960 X 800 and used Gallary to set it like sliding wallpapper but it forced me to chose a part from the picture and I could not chose the whole picture.

I have searched and searched for a solution but my best find was this app:

haven't tried it yet.
i think it will not work with touchwiz, but might work with launcher pro

Thank you.
I found out that my mistake was making the longer dimension vertical while it should be horizontal. So the rotation of the picture for 90 degrees gave me the ability to select the whole picture as sliding wallpaper.
But what if I want to make non-sliding wallpaper that fit to the screen completely, what is the resolution for that?
um isn't it 480 by 800?
Because of the moving of the image when sliding to different homescreens it needs to be slightly wider, hence the 960x800 resolution.
slightly? thats twice the width lol
what file type do you think would be better?

480x800 is the actual resolution of the screen, while the sliding wallpaper is doubling the width so that the wallpaper won't stretch and display the at native resolution when you slide through the home screens.
When you got some image with high resolution (higher than 960x800), selecting that high resolution image and crop to fit by the wallpaper selector, it will corp and resize the image for you on the fly but it doesn't look sharp as those TouchWiz and Launcher Pro wallpaper which is resized and optimized the sharpness on 960x800, I'm going to crop and resize my favorie wallpaper on a desktop imaging tool.

I've made a couple of backgrounds in ps that were 960x800 resolution and then put them on my phone. Whenever I got to change the wallpaper, it has me select the file and then I have to crop the image. I'm aware that I can drag it out to make the crop zone large but it still only selects I would say 3/5 of the image. I've tried several different times over several different images and I cannot make it any larger. I'm using launcher pro if this has anything to do with it. Are you sure the resolution is 960 wide by 800 tall? Other than that, what am I doing wrong?
Would deleting all but 1 home screen make the wallpaper full-size/non-sliding?

It's what I use and is fine for both stock and launcher pro. When I chose the wallpaper the crop rectangle stretched to the wallpaper perfectly.
Hi. I tried 1280 x 1280 whoch I convert using samsung kies and the crop box fits 100 % and the wallpaper is perfect.
Hope this helps.

Strange problem with quick circle window

The clock on my quick circle case is off set to the top right but I can swipe it and the other icons such as settings , camera etc are all displayed in the center as they should be.
I have set the lge.clock in app settings to 480dpi and 640dpi but none of these work. Anyone help?
Anyone?

I had the same problem when i was messing around with resolution...Just return them to original, and it should work.
I'm just guessing you dropped to 1080p?

I tried alot, but it did not work.
If you're trying to save battery, i don't think it will work.
If it works, you wont even notice...The pixels are beeing used either way..

Any way to make screen scaling smaller?

I saw the phone in a store today and wanted to buy it. But got annoyed that the smallest screen scaling option is still bigger than my p20 pro and feels like a waste of screen real estate.
Does anyone know of a way to make things on screen look smaller without rooting?
connect to adb and use wm size option. whatever size you set make sure aspect ratio is same as original device. it works better than wm density.
It’s even simpler than that. There are adjustments in display as well the option in developer options to adjust dpi.

You can change the minimum width setting to a higher number in developer options but it will mess up the SystemUI a little. Certain apps will become too large. It also resets every time you restart the phone. Huawei needs to fix this. It's one of the worst things about EMUI.
try using wm size. it works perfectly.
apart from some apps, like camera. use tasker to reset back when using camera
Thank you so much Guys! Is there any difference at all between using minimum with in developer options, and using vm size in adb? Cheers

It really doesn't work any better than using the Minimum Width setting in developer options and like you said it even screws up the camera app.
I'm using 600 DPI and I have no problems. I wouldn't recommend going higher than 640 as you might get glitches.
Does anyone have a link on how to use that wm size setting?

Here are some more screenshots
If you can see it a screenshot it's software not hardware.
Just reboot or reset or whatever to remove it.

Exactly this. If it was hardware (dead pixels) it wouldn't show up in screenshots.

notification panel size (HUGE) after EMUI 10 update

Has anyone else noticed how large the icons and notification cards are on the pull down screen? I am on the smallest display size and everything still seems huge.
I have tried using developer options and setting smallest width to 424 (default is 423) but that reduces it too much in my opinion.
Any way around this?
Yes ofc, but to be honest, after 1 week or something, i didn't notice it at all.

I could live with it as 424 but the problem is that the setting is not remembered, it resets upon reboot.
Why 424? Well the default is 423, and even one point more makes a significant difference. There seems to be no middle ground between 423 and 424 settings.
Any way to remember upon reboot? Or does this need root?

it resets, really? huh
mine only resets when i go to dev settings and open the dpi settings, then it resets. otherwise nope, it sticks.
so just to be sure, have u actually tried anything else than 423 and 424? be sure to try other numbers further apart from stock and see how that suits you.

I have mine set to 390 in developer settings. To me it looks just right for this screen size and resolution. It doesn't reset when the phone restarted.
Sorry my bad, in EMUI 9 the settings didn't stay upon reboot, from my experience.

I mentioned it to emphasize the problem with the ui design (agree that the notification icons are too big)
Updated to EMUI 10 on my P20 Pro, but can't seem to get the notifications to work. I used to get Watsapp notifications, and preview of messages in my notification panel, anyone else had same issue, please help

I could not agree more. It looks terrible.
Notifications are huge.
Pull down Quick Launch icons are also huge.
Had to try and make things smaller, but icons on Wallpaper are now too small.
It's a mess
Was there any fix?
I have DPI set to 430, makes a big - but smaller - difference.
And the settings always stick after cache clearing / reboots.
