Frustrating wallpaper.. - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I can't figure out, for the life of me, how to set the wallpaper without it zooming in so far for everyone. You used to be able to fix it using quick pic. There was the same problem on the M7. Am I missing an option to turn off the cropping of wallpapers?

Anyone find a solution for not being able to choose custom lockscreen wallpapers?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
I can switch my lock screen wallpapers without issue. It's under display menu. Hope you figure it out.
I go through display, chance lockscreen. it shows gallery. but when I choose one it just blips back to the gallery and doesn't change it.

Wallpaper size keeps changing

Anyone have a problem with wallpapers downscaling? This happens constantly with mine.I set the wallpaper, it sets the screen, I use any app, return to home screen, and all of a sudden my wallpaper vertically downscales to where there's like an inch of black space on the bottom of the screen. The only way to get it to scale properly again is to turn the phone and let the screen rotate,but that fix only lasts until I open an app again.
I have tried multiple sized wallpapers, have tried setting with the default crop, with wallpaper wizardri, and wallpaper set and save but it still always does this.
Anyone else have this issue? Its really annoying.

Are you using a third party app to set wallpapers? Had a similar prob with one on sgs2

I've tried default and third party. Having the same issue no matter how I try to set one.

Don't know what to suggest... seems like a random glitch. Factory reset maybe?

Will do. Gonna give LiquidSmooth ROM a try anyway. Hopefully the issue is not present there.

How to force landscape homescreen?

Searched the forum and found no answers! It happened the other day - my homescreen turns landscape - but I can't get it to happen again. Any ideas?! Also, anyone find that this XDA Premium HD app FCs a lot?

Hi!
landscape mode works only in some apps. You will not get landscape mode in homescreens, unless you have a custom ROM installed and have LeeDroid Tweaks.
Greetings

But it actually happened yesterday! I had landscape homescreen with all icons positioned on right of the screen and widgets resized accordingly...
[EDIT] I am running custom ROM Android Revolution HD

Hello, i have a non-rooted phone and also got it a copple of times.
On the home screen i suddenly had a landscape screen.
Once turned back to portrait, it did not go back to landscape again.
After searching i found a forum message about an app called 'Rotate'.
this app can force autorotate, so the landscape also works on the homepage.
1 problem, you can try it some time and then you have to pay for it (only $1.99)

If your using apex launcher you can go into advanced settings and pick auto rotate or landscape only, if your using stock sense then I havn't got a clue

HTC Sense doesn't allow the homescreens to rotate at will, generally the home screens are locked into portrait viewing.
I have seen screen shots of the phone homescreen in landscape, I think it's just a glitch... as you said, it's reverted back now and won't do it again.
Unless forced with an app etc...

HTC Sense doesn't allow the homescreens to rotate at will, you have to edit the rosie.apk to get it to work as you've already said.
So it doesn't work as standard.
I have a car dock for my One X, and when it sits in the car dock it is also possible to see the homescreen(s) in landscape mode.
Here is an example:

So it is possible and I find it strange that HTC doesn't allow it when using the device normally.

This app works but...
Hey...even i was searching for some app or mod through which i can get my homescreen in landscape mode while the phone rests in my "new KiDiGi desktop charger" :silly:
So i came across the apps mentioned above.... "Rotation Locker" and "Ultimate Rotation Control"
Rotation locker was a free app but it did not work fully...like the lock screen used to be in portrait only...and the app sometimes flickered between portrait and landscape mode...so i uninstalled it....
Ultimate Rotation Control is amazing...it works perfectly for me...the only issue that it is a 7-day trial after which i would be asked to pay $2 (almost Rs.110 here in India)...
i would not mind paying money to the developer...but since i have a rooted phone with Android Revolution HD 9.4.1 ROM, i was just thinking is there any custom tweek developed for this ROM which can help me get rid of these Third party apps for rotation control....
Does anyone know about any such tweak for rooted HTC One X??
I have another query...i want to know if there is any tweak/app through which i can get my screen to wake up when a new SMS/Whatsapp/mail comes?? basiacally to wake up the screen in case of any notification...
Thanks a lot in advance

Cool.. I did the same

Wondering if there's a way to do this.

I had an idea today for my home screen. I like to keep it simple and usually only use one page. Is there a way to make the one page stay stationary but be able to have the wall paper scroll?

I've been using that for ages and I checked it out deeper and there's no option. I tried searching for what I'm looking for but am having no luck.
It seems feasible no? To have one home screen and still be able to scroll the wallpaper? Maybe it's not. I can only hope.
hmm... check THIS out.

Hardware keys

Anyone knows why the HTC one m8 stock version the keys at the bottom dissappear in a lot of the apps like Internet and much more, I have use 3 roms alright currently on Insertcoin and they all have the keys permanently there taking more space of the screen is kind of annoying lol. Anyways anyone knows something about it.

I can't speak to the Internet app, as I use Chrome, and it doesn't do this. Are you talking about the immersive mode of fullscreen apps, like Google Play Books or YouTube? That's by design.
Although, I can't imagine the Internet app is supposed to do that... Sorry I can't offer much help. Maybe you could list some more apps that do it. What stock rom are you on? (Rogers, AT&T, etc)

I moved this to Q&A since it's a question. My attempt to answer your question:
I've noticed that some apps have built in menu functions and will turn off the keys. The custom ROMs probably have a toggle set that keeps the keys there not matter what. That's my guess without more info.
