[Q] Wallpaper woes on GSIII

I have the new JB stock rom installed (works great so far)
this problem was the SAME on the stock ICS rom.
my wallpapers will not load properly on the phone. it keeps "blowing them up" so they look fupgly
now they load right on the lock screen and load right when I pick vertical mode but I want the picture to "slide" when I slide screens.
when I select that mode it "blows them up" and they look hinky,
how do I stop it from doing that. I made them 1440x1280 but it still blows them up. I am trying to get screen captures but that stinking palm swipe motion crap simply does not work. in 30 or 40 tries I got ONE SINGLE random screen capture.
Here is a video showing the issue. its processing might need a couple minutes to be viewable
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWJydcj0F3Q
on my S2 walls load just fine no issues.

update. its also significantly lower "quality"
on my S2 the images is much much sharper. on her right cheek I can see the water droplets on the S2 but on the S3 its "muddy" so its cropping AND distorting. almost like its "loading at a lower than 720x1280 resolution and then "blowing it up" interpolating it.
kind of the point of a 720x1280 screen IS the ultra crisp nature of such a screen. VERY annoying I hope a fix can be found for this

Well first another way to take a screen shot is power+ home button.
And I'm using nova prime so idk if this is a stock option, also I'm on on freegs3.
From the gallery app, choose what picture you want.

negative power + home does not work. thats the first thing I tried. power first them home nothing home first then power nothing. hold them both a few seconds nothing.
home is the physical button in the middle correct?
I have the wallpaper correctly sized but it looks almost 99% sure like its "downlscaling" the wallpaper and then "blowing it up"
instead of using the native pixels of the selected wallpaper.
I also switched to nova to see if that would help (no change for wallpaper)
my screen lacks that last option to "set wallpaper" I have the others but not that last one
I have to pick home screen or home and lock screen and it looks nothing like what you have
I start here
then I bring up SET AS and I get this
and so I pick home OR home and lock and I get this
because of the time it takes I THINK its actually SHRINKING the image to some "smaller" size and then stretching it to fill the desktop
I think this is why it looks "muddy"
to give you a better picture here is my desktop on the S2
note the image quality and sharpness
now here is the desktop on my S3 note its a HIGHER resolution image than the one on the S2 (which is 480x800) I went back to my original 1650 stock image and made a fresh one for the S3 so its NOT the S2 screen "blown up"

The screen shot is def. Power+ home button which is middle button. If that doesn't work then you have a rom issue, it works ok ics tw roms.
Is that more what your looking for?
Or this?

Use an app called wallpaper wizardrii from the market, sets a pic to perfect size on your screen. TW based ROMs won't scroll wallpaper though.

[APP] Fingerprint sensor as home button

For those of you that would like the fingerprint sensor as home button + other options, you should try this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ztc1997.fingerprint2sleep For me, works good so far.

Ty this is awesome now. Single press brings me home. Double expands toggles and swipe open notification panel. No need to reach to the top of the screen anymore.

Awesome, this works perfectly. A tap brings me home then I press it again to turn off the screen.

Some times it just stops working and this is very annoying for me =Z

Works fine for me.

i HAVE same problem

I'm sorry that some of you have problems with the app I recommended. For me works good, but I have only the option as home enabled. Maybe some of the other options are causing problems. Uninstall and maybe do a restart if not fixed.
Sent from my XT1635-02 using XDA-Developers Legacy app

I also only had the home option enabled. Uninstalling helped, restarting (several times) did not... I don't actually miss it though, maybe because my times with Samsung and a physical home button are so long gone that I am not so much tempted to use the scanner for that function anyway...

For the app to work, I have to have fingerprint security enabled? And that requires an unlock configuration (pin, pattern)?

Works so good for me, would be great if we have a form of hide the navbar and only use the sensor.

The new Moto G5 has the option to hide the nav bar and replaces it with gestures over the sensor. I think it's likely that with a future soft update, we will benefit from it also :good:

Can you post a screen shot of your app settings? Or explain your settings so I can replicate? I got the home function to work but to unlock the device it always asks for the pin unlock code after using the fingerprint scanner.

Sorry it will only work for android-O [26+].

It works to an extent for being an unreleased app, scrolling is kind of jumpy not very smooth

Great start but I'd like an option to use the stock notification swipes (two down for quick settings, one up to close) as well.

Is that an arbitrary restriction? There are other fingerprint apps on the Play Store so IDK why this one wouldn't function on 7...

Major Security Flaw

From a locked phone use shake to open the camera app, then shake two more times (sefie, back to regular) now quickly press back a few times. Your phone is now unlocked.
I'm using an AT&T. I am keeping twist to capture off until this get fixed.

Mine doesn't do that. Are you sure you are not tripping the sensor? Or you using shortcuts?

No matter how hard I try I can't reproduce it on the T-Mobile version. Could it be you have a device connected that us trusted?
I tried with or without one button nav.

No shortcuts and no trusted devices. I turned shake to capture back on rebooted the phone and no it stays locked as it should. I took a photo, swiped over to view and was brought to my pattern screen. Before rebooting I was able to replicate this three times in a row without flaw. I took my T-Mobile model out of the box and could not replicate the issue.
The only thing I could think would cause this is blockada Origin as it stays open and blocks pop-ups. Anyone with At&t please give this a try and see if it's a real issue or just my phone.

I'm just going to leave the action disabled. My wife's z force Droid has a feature I'm pretty envious of. You can launch the camera by double tapping the power button while the screen is off. Super handy.

I have also tried this with the Verizon version of my Z2F several times and cannot reproduce the phone unlocking.

After rebooting I can't get it to happen again. I also have greenify installed if that could have anything to do with it.

I have the option to double tap the power to activate the camera on my Z2 force. It must be in the settings.

DP3 UX Operation/Visual Differences

So far I've noticed the following. Note this list doesn't include obvious things like "the recent menu now has a clear all". Also I have put this here because I suspect some of the topics will be "where did x go"? Moderators, feel free to move this to the discussion forum if you want.
1. Unfortunately Google has severely toned down or else removed many of the navigation-related animations that were present in DP2. I loved them...
2. The color mode preview image in settings is now a hummingbird instead of simply a drab background.
3. The AOD now has the At A Glance weather image tacked onto the date portion. This includes color, as my display currently has a yellow sun mark.
4. Using gesture navigation, it is now much easier to actually call up the recent list: it kind of pops in place now, aided by haptic feedback that some on Reddit are already complaining about.
5. The "separation icon" that replaced the mini arrow above the homescreen's docked apps is now gone entirely.
6. Haptic feedback overall feels much stronger than before.
7. Some language-translation things have been fixed, yet new ones have appeared. For reference I have my phone set to Japanese and the "Support" tab in Settings is now listed in English whereas before the title was in Japanese, and the gesture navigation setting is now titled in Japanese whereas before it was in English.
8. The OS version is now listed as 9, instead of P.
9. The Sharing menu setting now includes a tab of "previously paired" devices.
10. The home screen now requires manual setting to allow rotation when auto-rotate isn't enabled.
11. The native scaling seems to have been adjusted (or broken) as the navigation bar-based clock seems to either be smaller than before, or else glitch between large and smaller.

Anyone know how to get rid of this? The squashed notification when the quick settings is fully expanded?

I don't want to clear it. I want to interact with it. Sometimes it's hard to reach a notification so I use a gesture to expand the quick settings tile further so I can hit reply or Mark as read.

It's been there forewer if you didn't update Google app . . .
Since most of the users did, it dissapeared. For me it was there for the whole Beta 1 stage, earlier I didn't pay attention to it.
Now Playing now works consistentlly, when you double tap on the song, it takes you to Asistant directly with more info displayed.
