Lockscreen pictures very washed out when using the 'Ripple' unlock... - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

I'm sure most have noticed this. Any picture I choose for the lockscreen when using the 'Ripple' unlock effect is kind of blurry and really washed out. I'm assuming that it's because of the ripple effect overlay but it's a HUGE bummer for me. It really makes the lockscreen look dull. But I am so enamored with the ripple unlock.
Has anyone possibly found a way to remedy this? I have ended up using WidgetLocker in place of the stock lockscren because of this. While I like WidgetLocker, I'd like to use the TW lockscreen and get the icons and missed message alerts.
I know this probably seems so nitpicky but it never hurts to ask just in case someone has a workaround...
Thanks in advance...

I've noticed this too. My theory is that Samsung made it lower res or something so it would be smoother. The animations and stuff. Almost seems like the actual wallpaper is not as high resolution. Oh well.
I've never seen a fix or anything. I just use a live wallpaper anyway so no ripple effects for me, just reverts it to a normal ring lock. It would be nice though of someone figured out a good fix.

WP Clock Live wallpaper

Hopefully this is in the right place to post, but I had to share this for those that never heard of this live wallpaper.
Its easy on the battery since there's not alot moving, and overall just a nice informative wallpaper to have.
There's a free and paid version 65cents? Paid version doesn't really offer to much more than the free one, besides choosing a background and different color fonts and making the font move. But at 65cents not a bad deal I suppose.
Its called WP Clock on the market.
i just love WP Clock..
May I ask if anyone knows what is the widget that looks like the wallpaper with the clock and the tine n stuff but its a widget instead of a wallpaper.

Is this what you're looking for?
Been using this for a full month by now. It's by far the most useful/pretties widget replacing wallpaper I've yet to use.
And for its price, it's a steal.
this thing rocks... LOVE IT!!!
just bought wp clock and i must say it looks fantastic. one thing abt it though, i don't like how its a wallpaper so every homescreen's filled with the thing. really need the space on other homescreens for other stuff. if only they could make this into a widget. typoclock looks similar but i love the data connection and battery info. i tried using multi live wallpaper to have multiple wallpapers simultaneously but it doesnt support using a live wallpaper and a normal one from the gallery. so i guess im stuck, or has anyone found a solution for this yet?

the developer is really good at taking and implementing suggestions... I asked for drop shadow, but he wasn't able to figure that out, so he did the outline so I set my text to white (40% opaque) and outline to black (4pt 80% opaque) and it's almost as good as drop shadow... definitely gives enough contrast to where you can read it no matter what your background is... tell you what, I would actually like the same thing, so I will request it as well, and maybe we'll get it twice as fast =)

i mean the rotation thingy i think its like u should edit it by framework but i dont know how for short landscape to portrait animation effect
How about this?
http://androidforums.com/droid-x-all-things-root/226604-how-mod-custom-transition-animations.html
The OP wants to animations for AUTO ROTATION.
When you turn your screen to landscape view and back.
have somebody found something about that? i'm realy intrested.
Ups, must have missed that.
Yeah, I miss that, too. Android is choppy enough the way it is - even on a spec beast like the SGS. The missing rotation animation doesn't make things better either...
Hes talking about when you turn the phone to portrait and landscape.
SGS just changes with no animation, where as the iphone has an actual animation where you can see the screen turn.
Would be awesome to have that on the SGS
think android 1.5 or 1.6 got that animantion... can we/anyone port it?
any idea how?
Please someone......id try for it myself but im no good at coding at all .......auto rotation transition on androids suck bells......soo id appreciate if some kind soul took some time and figure this thing out ....booyaa

When using a TW based ROM, I always use a lock screen wallpaper with lighter colors. The overlay isn't that noticeable this way. I'm pretty sure there isn't a way to get rid of it unless you disable the ripple effect.

[Request] Live Wallpaper

Hey so I was hoping someone knew how or would like to create a live wallpaper that would look nice. Back on sense on the original evo, there was that sense moving colorful circles, always wanted someone to attempt to make a cooler version of that. If anyone is up to it, or knows where I could find a section on xda willing, I would appreciate it.
But anyways, my general idea is like this wallpaper (not 100%) I found but moving, passing over one another, all that. Maybe color changing like fading to different colors or movement speed in its settings or any of that kind of stuff. This is only an idea I think some people would love for a nice neutral live wallpaper considering a lot now a days aren't so good imo...
Edit: I know this isn't a request forum or shouldn't be named request, more of possible ideas to be developed. And the reason I don't use the sense one is because it got a bit boring.. I'm personally a fan of black with bright colors or abstract, what ever it would be called.

Shine on left side of lockscreen.

I know theres a way to disable it while still having the ripple effect because it was fixed on my old rom.
Does anyone know how to do this? I really love the watery effect. and this rom even does the ink with just your finger but the way the left side of the wallpaper is all bright and blurry looks horrible.
