As many of you may know, Dropbox is currently holding a promotion for their new automatic photo upload thing. For every 500mb of pictures I upload, I get 500mb free (4.5GB limit).
I am trying to think of the best / fastest way to do this. I've been looking and looking for high resolution photos, but most all the ones I find are just under 1mb. I'd have to download atleast 500 of them to get the first 500mb. I even began just snapping random photos with my phone, just pressing the camera capture button, over and over and over for a total of 311 times lol. It was nowhere near enough pictures.
Anyone have any advice? Or does anyone have a place for photographs with large file size? To those of you that have already done this, could you tell me what you did to do it?
This may be of interest
I suppose if everyone posted a pic.... maybe you could pool em all into dropbox? First -

I havent tested it But if you take a wallpaper which has the 1200x2000 resolution, and set it as the background in TF3D --- Then the device doesnt resize them and theyre in really good quality--- could someone upload some hi quality picture which has 1200x2000 resolution (same as the sample pictures in oficial rom, but dont upload sample pics -- need some hi detail pict )
If it works then make a different thread where people upload 1200x2000 wallpapers, not 800x480
On Background4all Tabs the Maximum size is 512*512 because nobody can make a working Header for 800*400, i tried it few times and i get 800*400 hald working, only the large pixel blocks were shifted.
But i dont think that 1200*1200 is working.

Man, that's HUGE !!
I'll go look for some.. I had the same thought a while ago
Hi there, here's my problem:
My desire had a funny turn and corrupted the sd card loosing all the photos from my honeymoon and first holiday with my wife (before I could back them up). After many attempts it seems impossible to recover them however one of my favorite photos is set as my background saving it (backgrounds are saved on the internal memory.
The question is "is there a easy way to extract my wallpaper without going root as the directory doesn't seem to be accessable."

Well, this might not be a perfect solution, but you can clear your homescreen of all the icons/widgets and take a screenshot by enabling USB debugginfg on your phone and capture the screen via android sdk. I assume you know how to do it.
This will give you a low-resolution version of the photo. You can have it as the worst case if you are not able to recover it in any other way.
Thanks for the suggestion, its an definite option. Its frustrating that I know the location just can't access it!

Just another solution
There is an app called ' wallpaper set and save' free from market. Using it you can extract the current wallpaper and it will be saved in full resolution in a folder called wallpapers.

I've noticed some people's galaxy nexus screenshots are clearly much better quality than I'm getting with my stock power/volume shot. Whats the trick?
Can you post a example of what yours look like? I don't use any tricks and they come out just fine.

ROM'd:
I don't notice any differences, so it's not ROM/kernel based.
Seems as if theres not rhyme or reason to the quality here....

Yeah, you should probably post some examples. If you're uploading them to XDA, they get compressed and you'll lose a lot of quality, but the actual capture itself is a full 1280x720 PNG (which is lossless).
EDIT: I see your examples. Don't upload them through Tapatalk, they get heavily compressed. Upload them to imgur or some other image hosting site and link to them.

Pretty much what he said. You're uploading them to Tapatalk, this compresses your screenshot. But if you were to actually upload it to Google+, Photobucket, take it from your phone to computer and upload it.
It'll come out as the screenshots as the one I posted.
Hi,
Trying to make a signature, i've made it up but when i post it into my sig it's far too small, it's not small on paint, i think it's being resized by xda as it doesn't meet the requirements 500 x 100, so how is it people are having huge signatures? Are they all URL's?
If anyone can help me out that would be great.
thanks.
For starters y you need to crop your image. About 25% of the horizontal space is blank and almost half of the vertical is blank.
Yep, what gallon said. Also upload to tinypic or something.
I posted what i wanted onto phtobucket but when i copy the code it won't allow it, it says invalid file ??

Can you post the photobucket URL?
Also, bare in mind that photobucket has limited bandwidth. If you host an image there you may well end up with "exceeded your bandwidth" as your signature.
You don't add an attachment you write in in code adding the url to the image box that's bellow fonts selection

Yup,can confirm black screen.
You should learn how to resize pictures with out completely screwing up the aspect ratio on them. Every one of those images is horizontally deformed.

It's kew. Honestly, I shared that I was making one on plus, and after 100+ pluses and a ton of comments, I wanted to produce a working version for everyone and "perfect" in time.
