Picture Frame Widget Changes Pictures - Galaxy S II General

If u put the picture frame widget on your homepage, it allows you to pick multiple pictures then they change automatically. I think it's cool, none of my other Android phones did this.

dude, why are you doing this? This is just useless

Setting wallpaper from Album Slideshow

Have you tried setting the wallpaper through the Album? I'm fond of using the slideshow in viewing pictures because pictures look better in slideshow view, right?
Now, i want it to be set as wallpaper from the slideshow mode, is that possible? it just looks good in slideshow mode, and i want the wallpaper to look just as how it is displayed in slideshow mode. Is it possible?
sounds like the slideshow thingy have a better resizing algotitme then just using today picture have
i sugest that you take the picture to your pc and work on it there with resizing and such and take it back to the xda and use it as "wallpapir"
the slideshow on the device cant do anything "magic" which programs on a pc cant do much better
Thanks rudegar,
Whats the image size of XDA wallpaper/screen (pixels/inch)? So lets say I already have edited it on my PC and uploaded back to XDA. how will I set it as wallpaper? the last time I used the Today option, it made my picture translucent, why is that? is there any feature there where we could stretch the wallpaper to fit the screen?
there is some registry setting which remove the translucent thing
i dont recall it though try search the forum
i would try some of the today theme creator programs they make it all pretty easy

5 fav icons

Is there a way to change how big or small you can crop the photo when setting a contact up with a photo?
Its only allowing me to take a very small chunck from the picture i want to use.
jus click menu and zoom out

Image does not look as sharp when used as wallpaper

I don't know if anyone else noticed this, but I set a picture to be my wallpaper and realised that at the home screen, it looks very blur. I checked the width and height of the picture and it is 480x800. Also when I view the picture in the photo gallery, it is much much sharper, like what it supposed to be.
Is there a way around this?
Thanks!
ave a look in the themes an apps section. 480 x 800 will show up unless you follows a guide on how to make it come up crystal.
Just do a search for Wallpaper Guide

I just tested my phone and no probs all wallpapers or pictures look great
Can I ask how you selected your wallpaper?
Was it through settings wallpaper?
or another method
I've also noticed this as some pics transfer fine and clear to the wallpaper and some look enlarged and blurry. I'm thinking it's the larger screen size vs. the pic resolution size. My pro at 2.8" was not an issue. It hasn't bothered me enough to seek a fix, I'm using mobile shell and selecting the change image option. Ureka!! thats it, the shell! Doh!!! just my $.02

yeah i had a diamond before this and the wallpapers looked great there.
but the funny part is that the pics look great and sharp when viewed in the photo gallery, but only becomes blur when used as wallpaper.
OH and they don't look enlarged lol. the wallpapaer keeps the size, but it's really blur.
Just use the search button and read the wiki, this is another one of those topics that have been done to death, there's heaps of information on it.

[Q] Wallpaper from a Screenshot?

Hi all,
Trying to create a new wallpaper from a screenshot. So far can only create a small portion of the whole picture as wallpaper. Is there any earthly way to make those cropping thingies include the whole screenshot pic? So far I can only fit Kate Upton's face onto the wallpaper, but would like to get face AND boobs. Kate's pic without boobs is just not right. Seriously, any help much appreciated.

bump for more boobage
Try to crop out the clock/widgets/icons then try Google image search to see if the actual picture is on the interweb somewhere.
Thanks for the reply Stronger. Think I may have stumbled onto a solution. With the image in Gallery, I zoomed out making the image smaller. About the size of the cropping rectangles in setting the image as wallpaper. Hope this makes sense. I think the key is making a smaller image that will fit in rectangles.

Animated contact id

There's a way to get animated contact picture which is pretty cool and isn't on s7/edge.
You record a gif go to contact photo and change to the gif and this is animated in contact details plus if you pull contact pic down in contact list you get full screen and also you get animated contact icon when getting call from person you assign gif to.
That's a really cool idea! Does it actually exist on any phone right now?

That is brilliant! Thanks for the find
Was thinking now i need to redo a picture (well GIF), then realised i can edit my camera roll using the GIF capture tool - NICE.
Download Animated Photo plugin from Galaxy Apps for the stock camera. It Captures in GIF from the stock Camera, and then can be applied as a contact image. Tested and works.
However, The annoying fact is - S8 doesn't display Full Screen Images of contacts for incoming calls.
