hi..ok i have a touch pro from sprint..im tryn to put a background picture on the home screen and i cant do it..also im tryn to put the flip clock color blue instead of yellow..but my phones tellin me sum bs..is there a simple easy way to do this..help plz..thanks
What happens when you open a pictire and click on menu-->set as today background. I use that on my touch. Not sure if the interface has changed for WM6.1. What does your phone tell you when trying to set the image as the background?
I can set different wallpapers using the aforementioned method, but every picture I try (even ones from 'WM6 wallpaper sites') has a white semi-transparent layer on it. Very annoying. What's the deal with that?!
Hi.
I have tried some themes i found here but i have a problem;
when i used a theme named "wabbit" i got the rabbit-background in all menus,
like home,mail,settings etc...
BUT when i use others like ohyeahar`s theme or other themes i only get to choose background for the frontpage Home..
When i scroll to mail,weather,settings etc,i get the default black screen.
WHY?
It don`t look nice when i scroll from colorful background in HOME to a black screen on settings.
I also noticed the thumbnails on ohyeahar`s theme is different than mine,cause he has the transparent look in the hole menu.
I have tried go to settings-background,but for some reason only the front page is changing..
This also is for the default theme that came with the phone,if i want to use a yellow flower-background,the front is flower but when i use the slider to the rest,it the default blackscreen...
Help!
Hi,
did you try this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=479112
No,never heard of it going to try it now.
Stupid question maybe,but the 2.1 verson is the newest?
Noticed that the 1.0 verson have more downloads.
I`m gonna try the stocklike.
THANKS
I have bg4allTabs_stocklike_2.1 and I get the same background when moving through manilla, I think it's what you're looking for
Did`nt work on my diamond2.
The screen got cut in half.
What ROM do you have? it says "For stock rom with manila 1.3.x u could use mun_background4allpages.cab only".
i have rom-verson 1.39.409.2
Edit: never mind.it worked with the 1.0 verson Thanks
Maybe you could use the search function ? The question you have has been answered quite a lot of times .. The last topic on this page also has a good solution for you ..

Hello boys'n'girls
I just watched a YouTube video of a CoPilot/HD2 review, and it looks like the guy have a "black theme" installed for his CoPilot.
I bought CoPilot for my TOPAZ some time ago, and of course I moved it to my new LEO. For all the time I have used CoPilot, I have been searching the web like an insane little monkey for some themes for CoPilot since the red/blue theme is killing me...
(not litterally killing me, just trying to make a point)
I haven't been able to find any themes anywhere.
When I saw the vid on YouTube, I e-mailed the guy that made it via his website and asked him where he got it. He hasn't replied yet...
My question/request is if anyone of you either know of a place where to get some themes, or if one of you wonderfully creative people could perhaps start making some?
Thanks in advance
PS: Here is the vid from YouTube:

Yes I know it's not available from the CoPilot Central...
Nothing really is
But since they are so slow to make some themes themselves, perhaps someone else could?
I guess, that if you know what you're doing, it shouldn't be too hard...!?
This guy also have it with a black theme (and he's got really small hands too)

Seriously...
I know that italian men are tiny, but comon...
The HD2 looks like a netbook in his hands
Edit: HD2 in Italian/Danish hand for comparison...
copilot skin
hi,
I have the same problem, I hate the red/blue theme of copilot and i want a black theme like in the videos above.
The only thing I've find is that the UI pictures are stored in \Copilot\Skin\skin.dat
if you open this file with an hexadecimal editor you'll see that it is composed of many png files (more than 1000 pictures !!)
I'm able to extract one png but I'm not able to replace the picture, if I try copilot doesn't start anymore.
so if someone have a solution...
My friend is here with his HD2...
He has the CoPilot trial installed, and his is black like the one in the vids.
His version number is 8.0.0.457
Mine is 8.0.0.346
Perhaps this is the issue...!?
I'll try and copy his skin.dat file over to my device and see if that works...
If it does, I will post it here for download
Here are the Skin !
I have 8.0.0.457 with the black skin.
I can mail them because is not possible to upload them at the moment.
BR Tom
It works fantastic!
I just copied his entire skin folder over to my device, and et voila!
Looks bloody amazing
Here is the skin folder for download, enjoy!

Just UnRar and copy over the excisting skin folder on your device
A couple of the buttons are white on my device, that are black on his...
But overall, it looks sooo much better than the blue/red theme
I thought all the CoPilots that come pre-installed on the HD2 have the black skin? Mine does.

Propably.
I installed the downloaded and paid for version I had on my SD card...
- which has a blue/red theme.
Perhaps I should do a hard-reset and register the pre-loaded version, it seemed like there were a few differences between the two versions from just looking at the two side-by-side...!?

maybe it's because it lacks severals UI pictures.
The skin.dat file you post is about 4 Mo
and for example my skin.dat (copilot 8.0.0.346) is 6Mo
but for the white background of the popup menu I have a solution, see my next post
solution for white background
To have a black interface for copilot 8.0.0.346 (without the bug of white popup background) copy the attached file in your copilot\skin\ folder:

Perfect!
It's now black and beautiful!
Just uploaded on to my X1i with Copilot Live 8.0 on it..
NICE! Well done chaps.. Looks so much better!
Just need some other things to become available from ALK, like some voices and other things... I think they're a bit lame having all the features on Central 2.0 and then not actually following up the development!! Come on ALK pull your finger out!

So true!
If they really want to conquer the market, they should start making some of the "premium services" and the normal extras available soon...

Id like to see more of these good and important reflections about users
and their handsets. Nice going!
Im curently useing my HTC Desire and trying to get this black
theme to work with the android version.
I got a message saying "Extracting theme" but I cant choose it in the
theme menu.
Any suggestions?
fyi, tried to make this work with latest version of copilot 8.0.0.644 and it just breaks the app. wish they just put out an official theme for this. any chance you guys could help me make this work on this version?
Yeah, I tried it and it didn't even show up in my themes area to install. We need a skin for the latest version for sure.
For some reason, no matter the resolution of the image I select for my wallpaper, it seems as if the tablet just zooms in on one part of the image and stretches it out. I have also tried selecting the largest section the gallery will allow, but it still just looks pixelated with a huge loss in background quality. Anyone have solutions?
HI Res Wallpaper
Download "Multi picture live wallpaper" from the market. Will solve your problem.
It's not showing up on the market for some reason. Do you happen to have the apk? Thanks
Here you go.
thanks man. I will give it a try
Might sound like a n00b question, but how to you go about installing this app? I unzipped the folder but there is no .apk file, and I tried installing the zip using CWM but still no results...

I opened the zip with astro. Apk was definitely there.
Once its installed you should find it under live wallpapers. Its not a seperate app.
Thanx to rapcon for the suggestion and upload.
Sent from my VEGAn G-Tab
Yup I kinda figured it out now, lol, I was using the iFile Manager that came with TnT Lite, but I guess its not as good as Astro, thanks

Thanks for the recommendation.
Is there another way to create wallpapers and set them so that they show up with better resolution?
I expect that there is a preferred size and file-type that android prefers. For example, the vegan-tab default wallpapers always look centered and clear, but when I set a .jpg file to be the wallpaper, I only see one top corner of the image.
Robeet had recommended 1024x1024 in the past, but that didn't work for me.
Anyone have any thoughts on this?
Thanks for the app, but unfortunately it seems to assume 7 horizontal screens. Sweeter Home uses 5 screens arranged in a '+' shape, so it looks fine on the main screen but the left and right screens don't display anything.
Thanks for the app post. I too have been struggling to figure out how to get high def wallpapers to work. I use launcher pro, 5 screen and have the settings configured to allow wallpaper scrolling. When I enable multi screen live walpaper, it still doesn't show the image as high of def as it should.
For example, I went to interfacelift and downloaded a 1024x600 nature image. When viewed in the browser (stock), it looks quite good. Very sharp and crisp. However, when I save this image to the sdcard, and set it up as the wallpaper in multi screen, it gets all blurry and looses definition. I've gone through all 3 settings of "crop/resize ratio" and none produce the same high def image as I see in the browser.
Is anyone else having similar issues? Anyone have any suggestions on what to try next? I guess I should switch back to the stock launcher just to see what it does.
The image would actually need to be wider than 1024px due to the wallpaper scrolling. If you used an image 1024x1024 it would need to be stretched out to something like 1600x1024 (only a guess) to account for the area of image to left and right of the middle home screen.
EDIT: I'm talking about the standard wallpaper not the live wallpaper app.
Wallpaper
I have not got my GPAD with me so I cannot check but I suggest you find the default wallpapers and see what size they are. And place your wallpeprs in that directory.
I beleive the crop tools in gallery etc are not the correct aspect ratio for this tablet.
similiar question.. i read wallpapers should have 1024x600.. then i made some of my own. NOW i cant apply them. Stupid androind always asks me to crop them, so they look horrible. Dont know how to apply a simple wallpaper. Anoying...
A few of us with Advent Vega's have had the same issue,
I did some testing and experimenting with Launcher Pro, and at least have a definitive understanding of what you need to get 1:1 pixel perfect wallpapers..
THIS IS ONLY FOR LAUNCHER PRO!!!! I think other launchers like ADW use different wallpaper algorithms..
*Firstly, no matter what, you need to use programs like "Wall Switch" available on the Market, or "Wallpaper Chooser" (I got this via app brain), these inject the wall papers without resampling and ruining the image.*
The native resolution of the wallpapers should be 1200 x 1024 (W x H), It depends on orientation as to which part of the image will be used, but basically using this overlay I produced (Attached), you can see which portion of the image is displayed in the middle launcher screen, when you scroll to the other screens, it will just shift the image left/right to the full extents of the image width, so in Portrait, you get a lot of scroll, in Landscape, not so much!
You can use image sizes larger then 1200x1024, as long as you keep the aspect ratio the same..
I believe for ADW, the wallpaper size is different, over on "vega.modaco.com" you can see a similar thread about ADW wallpapers, I added the LP info in there as some people where using LP over ADW.
after a little more googling...Multipicture Live Wallpaper turned out to be great... the only one, after tested quite a few, that works, and we even get an extra if we want to change wallpaper often...

Yep. I got it here on xda.
Woks perfectly.
Trying to find an old (perhaps lost) wallpaper. It was installed on my HTC Desire S with GB 2.3.6 (can't remember carrier, it was used). I have been loading several custom ROMs and have now settled on one, but want to copy my old wallpaper back onto sdcard. I have searched the web for hrs AND also extracted images from several custom ROMs looking for that darn image.
Can anyone help?? It was a simple background with a slight texture to it. The color was a sort of light brown or dark beige. I am rather sure it was in stock gallery or theme(s) when I first used the phone. Was perfect. Not too light or dark with good contrast against icons.
BTW, whenever I load a new background (480x800) from web, the phone crops it and then 'expands' the crop (when applied) causing it to loss resolution (maybe a Go Launcher problem?)
Thanks!
I don't know what the wallpaper is, but the other problem is easy to fix. Simply edit the image beforehand and add a 240x800 space on each side, to give you a 960x800 image.
Some launchers let you select a portrait version of the background, some don't (such as yours it seems).
Found the wallpaper!
Eureka! Found the WP I have been seeking. It is a background that is part of the Hi-Black theme, which is part of Go Launcher EX. now I have extracted it and saved it so I can use it whenever I need it. Note: image attached
Also found out how to fix cropping that Go Launcher was doing to custom WPs. Good, making progress.

Would you mind emailing me a copy of that wallpaper? I was looking for it too but I'm not rooted so extraction will be kind of tough. I'll message you too. THanks!
