[Q] 1080p wallpaper great in gallery, fuzzier as wallpaper

anyone notice than when setting wallpaper images scaled perfectly to the screen's native resolution, they get a bit fuzzier compared to the view in the gallery????
Here's an example, download this image.....
oops, can't submit links yet. Look for the starry night image at 1080X1920 resolution on google image search. It's a good example.
This is image looks pops really nicely when viewed in the gallery, amazing details and contrast. When set as a wallpaper though, a lot of the sharpness is gone. This happens independently of the screen settings. The same effect happens either with touchwiz or nova launcher, same happens when set with quick pic or stock gallery app. Same effect obviously with different 1080p images besides the one given in the link.
Anyone have any ideas about what's happening here? Kind of a shame cause the display is pretty awesome......We need a fix..
I am running a verizon s4, stock unrooted. I haven't not seen this issue reported as far as I know....

I have a full HD wallpaper and I viewed it full screen in the gallery and then hit home button to revert to homescreen and I can't notice a change at all. Every pixel is identical to that of the gallery image.
When I hit the home button the only changes are my icons appearing on the background (obviously). but colour, contrast, sharpness etc all stay the same.
I haven't tried with you stary night picture you mentioned though.
Maybe that image just isn't full HD or the pixels are slightly wrong.
Have you opened that same file in Photoshop and double checked?
Or are you just taking Googles word for it beings the right res?
yea, the photo is 1080X1920. I double checked. So are the others I tried.
the effect is definitely not drastic but it is there and I tried a few images. I think the problem is in the loss of fine details most obviously seen in
highres textures or intricate wispy patterns. I've spent many a hour working with high res type images and when these types of jpegs are set as a wallpaper, it's like the images have been run through a couple degrees of a blur filter.
I would think quite a few users would notice though they may not be able to articulate exactly what's going on....it is less stunning imo.....
Me too. The wallpaper seems less clear. Used a 1920x1200 wallpaper.
You have to use an image that is 1920 high and 1080 wide, most 1080p images are 1920 wide and 1080 high instead. So whats happening is when you set the wallpaper, the wallpaper setter has to scale and stretch the image to fit the hight of the screen.
These phones are in portrait mode most of the time remember, where as most images on the web are in landscape wide screen.
I download all my wallpapers using Zedge app. Use Quickpic app to set as wallpaper. No fuzzy issue, the wallpaper looks sharp and crisp.

yes, the images I am using are in portrait mode, they are not resizing. try using the a highly detailed image and toggle between the gallery view and the homescreen. maybe i am seeing things but i am pretty friggin sure I can't be the only one noticing this.
Try to turn off the automatic display calibation. This option change level of saturation and other display setting depending the app you are running.

I have always wondered if android lowered the quality of an image when setting it as wallpaper for some pragmatic reason? But have never been able to figure it out.
This has been an issue on every Android device ive ever had - its obviously something at OS level. I use an app called 'Simple Image Wallpaper' it allows you to set an image at 100% quality as it works as a Live Wallpaper. Enjoy!
Use this.
thanks be to the previous 2 posters. I will check out those apps and see if they helped any....
Just want to confirm this issue. Having the same problem.
Looks super sharp and clear in Gallery, becomes blurry when set as Wallpaper.
Resolution is definitely 1080x1920 (W x H)
Issue here as well.
Our LCD resolution is 1920x1080. Wallpaper must be 1920x1920 in order to get a 1 to 1 mapping of wallpaper pixels to screen pixels. This is because our displays switch from landscape to portrait when we turn the phone and so wallpapers are displayed as a 1080x1920 cropping or a 1920x1080 cropping of a 1920x1920 resolution image. If you supply a 1080x1920 image as a wallpaper and the phone needs to display it across 1920x1080 LCD pixels, then it will crop out a 1080x1080 square, use that as a wallpaper, stretching 1080 image pixels across 1920 lcd pixels. This may sound strange, but it really does make sense as a solution to solve the problem of how to display wallpaper when the screen can be rotated. Ever notice that the stock ROM wallpapers are square, 1920x1920?

This makes perfect sense. Do u have any good sources for 1920x1920 size wallpaper? Much Thanks :good:
interfacelift.com/wallpaper/
Is one of my favorites for very hi-res photos. You could just google wallpaper.
You will need to use a photo cropping tool (like paint or photoshop or gimp) to crop or resample to desired size.

Cropped video off-centered

Sorry... by mistake I deleted the original post.
To sum it all up:
Video content image does not remain centered in the screen if zoomed in over the display size. Cropping only gets done to the right and bottom sides of the image, causing the centre to shift down-right.
It's not dependent from the application used to watch the videos, neither it appears to be dependent from the ROM (just upgraded to the latest stock ROM, with full wipe with no effect).
Anybody confirming the issue?
Any solution found?

3rd party applications comparability

Hello
I was very much interested in LG G6 and have even ordered it once in eBay yesterday and cancelled it after getting to know one information none of the reviewers have pointed it out.
I have heard that most of the 3rd party applications would show black border even in portrait mode because of the aspect ratio difference.
But I was also been told that applications would automatically utilise the entire screen at least in portrait mode.
I have also heard that LG provided scaling function is not of great help as well.
I am from India and I am not sure how much time it would take for the developers here to update their application for a new screen aspect ratio.
Please provide your valuable inputs.
I am upgrading from Nexus 5x
This model released just 4 months ago so expect little delay with specific apps but LG's scaling works fairly well in standard apps, I would say stick with ur current phone for few months.
Thanks for your kind reply.
I am using the mobile phone mostly for applications and in portrait mode itself and would watch YouTube videos also.
I am not using the mobile phone for gaming.
Can you please post some photos of the scaled applications ?
I heard that the navigation bar would be in black colour even when an application scaled.
Are all Google applications and prominent 3rd party applications support the 18:9 aspect ratio?
yes the navigation bar does turn black but it will be hidden under the app your are using in full screen and pull down on noti panel will bring back the navi buttons, so if u watch YouTube videos after scaling u won't see any back bar while in full screen.

You mean I won't see black borders while youtubing in fullscreen?
yes but only if the content is in 18:9 format, lets say if u resize YouTube app and the video is also coded in 18:9 format then the bar will be hidden, at least that's my experience on couple of occasions so far.

Camera Interface Malposition Issue

Hey guys,
I flashed a Note 4 ROM onto my Note Edge, in order to make good use of the entire screen. (So that the curved part could also show content.)
Everything works flawlessly, except for the camera interface. As you know, the screen resolution of Note 4 is 1440x2560 while Note Edge 1600x2560. As is the normal case on the stock Note Edge ROM, the camera interface which is 16:9, should have shown on the left 1440x2560 area of the screen, alongside a dark bar on the right 160x2560.
But now, just the opposite, the interface shows on the right and dark bar on the left. However, the real problem is that the touch area doesn't correspond to the display area. That is to say, the touch area is on the left side while interface on the right. When I touch the shutter button on the screen, it has no response, I have to touch 160px left, and when i touch to focus, it actually focus on a spot on the right.
I tried several means but none worked:
1. I extracted and copied the SamsungCamera3 folder using a root explorer from the stock Edge Rom to /system/priv-app/, granted right permissions to it and to all files in it, restarted the phone, but then camera Fc and I had to restore the folder back.
2. The 'adb shell wm overscan' way is not an option either, because it would affect all other normal apps. Is there a way to change the display area only for a specific app instead of whole?
3. Tried the Xposed Module 'App Settings' to change the display resolution for the camera app, no effect.
I know some of you guys have experience of developing tweaked TW ROMs compatible both with Note 4 and Note Edge or porting a TW ROM from one totally different device model to another, so how did you solve this kind of problem? How do I make the camera interface display on the left?
Thanx in advance.
You should just replace a copy of the camera app from note edge room using xplore in rooted mode, perhaps Mickey room or Batman room.

Hi, Alboooz, thanks for your reply. Like I've mentioned, I tried this method, but camera FC. I have no idea why.
photo added to describe the issue
Show me the normal functioning of it.
Hey don't know the solution to your query but would you like to show us how you use the entire screen to show content. That must be looking cool....

Here you have Note edge Samsung camera multi dpi, you shall copy this camera app named as is in the same folder name
in here; root/system/priv-app/SamsungCamera3/SamsungCamera3.apk and set the permissions correct, go to system application settings and clean data and cache, you start the phone i recovery mode and delete cashes and reboot your phone, it should work.
This camera file must be (SamsungCamera3.apk) name.
