Wallpapers with TouchFlo running

I cannot seem to find the answer to what i have a question on, i see so many cool wallpapers and i dont know how to get them to run on my HD whilst TF is active. Seems I can only get my today screen to reflect the photo i select if i turn OFF touch flo, no good. Support? Thanks

Set the wallpaper via the setting menu on TouchFlo3D rather than the settings for the Today screen.

yes, bt doing so yeilds a low quality picture. any idea how we can set a high resolution pic (800x480) as the background to actually use the screen's full potential?

it is possible but the only way of doing it is a complex hack which is rather time consuming and the results are not perfect. if you would like me to write up the instructions i will do so when i get back on my pc. (browsing on my phone atm) the hack involves inserting pngs into system files and hex edits.
I've created a theme with a high quality wallpaper which you can find here

Is there any fix or a way around camera rotation when uploading?

This is super annoying, I tend to shoot video/pictures vertically, because I like to just use one hand. It seems that when I play my gallery back through the phone, the picture looks right, but when I upload it to facebook and etc, the video or picture is rotated sideways.
I hate having to go into PS to re-rotate it back, is there a fix or a setting for this?

facebook should auto rotate pictures to the way they were taken. Either there is a problem with your facebook app, or there is a problem with your phone's gyroscope, and it's not recording the correct orientation in the exif data of the picture

Thanks for the reply. Hmm, it seems that it has always been this way. But I do notice that facebook does have a rotate option upon loading a pic/vid.

[Q] Gallery Photos Darker Than When Viewed in Camera App?

Has anyone else noticed that the photo is fairly bright when you tap the little icon in the Camera app, but then if you tap again and go to Gallery it darkens?
Is it the same as the issue affecting the Galaxy S II's?
Anything we can do about it?
Thanks to any and all for information...

Yep same thing happens here. It's really annoying, everything looks so dull in the gallery app.

bump...
Any thoughts from people more versed in Android/Code than I?

Yes I noticed as well. Looked for a setting in both the camera and the gallery to control brightness, as far as I can tell there isn't one.

Actually it seems to be the screen brightness which is set to maximum when in camera app, and gets back to normal/auto when anywhere else.
A nasty bug, really.

Yeah I have been too thanks. It seems (from other comments and threads) that at least part of the issue is that the Camera app ramps up the brightness for the viewfinder and in the quick view, but the Gallery resorts to the overall system brightness.
I don't know that I buy this though because there are subtle tone and image quality differences. I think brightness is part of it, but something else seems to be going on (jpeg compression maybe?)...

You're right. When I set the screen brightness to max instead of auto, I do not notice any difference when switching from camera preview to gallery.
Not sure if this is a bug or a 'feature' though.

Hmmm I don't notice any tone difference. For me it was the brightness setting.

Agreed I just tried that and it does work better than when I just unchecked auto, shame we can't have the Gallery app scale it up automatically or by default like the Camera. I'd say it was meant to be a battery-saving feature, but I'd rather be able to show off good-looking pics at the times when I wanted to view them.

Outdoor pics are fine (on max brightness), but indoor pics seem to lose a little "warmth" when "darkened" for the gallery, and the "fineness" of the image seems just slightly reduced (more noisy)...
It could be my imagination too though...

Call it a nasty feature, then

I use Llama to automate the brightness. When the camera app or the gallery app is the active application set brightness to 100%. When gallery app and the camera app are not active set the brightness to Auto.
You can obviously add any other apps you might want to have those settings apply to as well.

I would hardly call it a bug. If anything it is smart.
If you are taking a picture in low light, auto brightness is dim, possibly too dim to see any detail. Having the camera at Max brightness ensures you are seeing what the picture will look like, rather than guessing.

[Q] What is full list of camera addons...

Hello.

Well... I can start counting from my own camera in 4.3:
If you launch the application from the camera button or by swiping to the camera, it will open in scene selection(kinda like xperia z superior auto, but even worse), while if you open it by the app drawer, it will launch in the last mode.
The Scene Selection mode disables scenes and exposure settings and it enables taking pictures in bursts(from the front camera, too), however in my experience the pictures aren't better than picking your own settings in manual mode.
The shortcuts aren't customizable anymore(it's mostly a pity for the hdr mode and metering, most other settings are leave and let go)
You can pick 10 scenes for photos and videos(photos didn't have scenes) and also picking a scene disable the white balance and exposure settings. The scenes are in the attachments. (Most of the scenes don't really work, but the documents scene makes the photos real good).
White balance and exposure are the same, finally.
Preview(leaving the photo to show for a period of time): 3 seconds, 5 seconds, unlimited and edit(opens the edit photos app).
D... Different shutter sound(to be clear, the sound when you take a picture)
The new menu(the xperia z1 has this too, not that important)

Text blurry and fuzzy in some apps - why ?

Hi all,
Am testing my LG G3 and find the text blurry, and fuzzy in some apps like the Gmail message list, Informant 3, and others
Is this due to the high resolution display ?
And is there any way to fix it ?
Thanks in advance

YES. Problem is screen resolution. And it will be there present until they update their versions to support 2k display which will not happen very soon!!!

It's because of the sharpening.
Resolution has nothing to do with it. In the contrary...
