Does anyone know if the stock browser uses a different app to play videos?
I have auto rotate off by default. I use Tasker to enable auto rotation only in a few of my apps such as the stock browser, youtube, and videos.
However when I play a video in the browser, it will never rotate into landscape view unless I slide the keyboard out. If I exit the video, the browser behaves as I expect it to with auto rotate on.
When I try this same thing in other browsers (Opera, Firefox, etc), the video auto rotates properly. The specific Youtube and Video apps also rotate properly.
I can only surmise that the stock browser initiates some other app to play back videos, which I have not enabled within Tasker, but I can't figure out what that would be.
Any help would be great. I am currently on CM7 nightly 78 but the issue has been ongoing for a long time with other nightlies.
Are the videos flash videos? If they are try adding that to tasker.

Tried that but Flash doesn't show up as an app in Tasker. Only apps that are displayed in the app drawer show up in Tasker =/
eh figured it out. seems like the stock browser plays video through the gallery app. once i allowed the gallery to rotate in tasker, videos played fine.

I installed ViperDHD (not sure if that's relevant or not) and it's working perfect, absolutely no complaints. There's only 1 minor annoyance and I'm sure its user error but.. I can't figure out how to set my wallpaper to portrait mode only. It currently tries to set all my wallpapers to work in both portrait and landscape which prevents me from getting the wallpaper I want. How can I get my phone to show only the portrait box when adding a wallpaper? I've never ran into this problem on any other rom. Is it a limitation of Sense 4? Or am I missing something extremely simple? Thanks!
Go to play store and download an app called picspeed wallpapers. Use that app to set your wallpapers don't use the stock, it sucks. You don't need to use their wallpaper but you can use the app to set your wallpaper from your gallery.

That solved it! Thanks!
Not sure if anyone has noticed this, but I loaded several 720 x 1280 images onto my phone and set them as wallpapers on my home screen. I noticed that the image is not as sharp as when I view them in the gallery. I made sure it's not zoomed or anything, just that certain details in the picture are not as sharp until I click on the gallery app and view it in the gallery. Anyone notice this? or am I just being too nit-picky?
I was about to post the same thing. Not just the wallpaper, the icons are not sharp too. Somebody suggested to use a custom launcher but i like TW launcher

Yeah, I'm already using Nova Launcher, and still having same problem ... anyone can help us with this?
Lol, the default system for setting wallpaper in Android is crap. It decreases quality drastically.
And Nova has wallpaper cropping issue, so it will be more worse than TW.
Solution: Use Wallpaper Wizardii to set wallpapers.

Cheers for the advice on the app mate working great
I had the same issue with my Motorola Xoom. I used the app 'Multi picture live wallpaper' which solved my problem. I imagine I'll be using the same app when I get my phone tomorrow.
Hi guys! So here's the deal. When I try to set a wallpaper from my gallery I have basically two choices.
1. It fits in landscape but gets chopped off top and bottom in portrait.
2. It fits in portrait but is very zoomed in in landscape.
I want it to be full picture in landscape without zooming but also completely fill in portrait. I know it's possible because the stock wallpaper behave exactly how I imagine it. Why not my own pictures? Is there an app for that?
Simple live wallpaper. Download it and problem solved. You should search for a solution first before posting a new topic. Good luck

Or use square wallpapers. Preferably 2560x2560 wallpapers.
That way no black bars when using protrait
I have Tab S4 (US unlocked) running stock ROM and unrooted. I've noticed a very annoying issue with Wallpapers.
if the screen rotation is left turned on, the wallpaper also rotates. Is there a way to prevent this from happening?
The issue that if we set the wallpaper in portrait mode that looks great, rotating it to landscape the wallpaper becomes pixelated and vice-versa..
Thanks.
I've had this problem too. my solution was to install nova launcher then go to settings-look and feel-screen orientation. From there you select force portrait or landscape. Hope this helps.
Now if only I can find a good wallpaper app besides zedge
