I'm just curious as to the size of the images on the bottom "dock" of the screen.
With the ROM I'm running, there are a few custom images installed that look awesome but my clock shortcut is plane as hell. I want to try and draw up a more...matching image to use.
Here is what I'm talking about (attached below)
Thanks in advance

Since we can't get this app in landscape, I'd like to extract the images and make icons of them for one of my screens. This way, when rotated to landscape, it will look similar to car panel.
Any suggestions on where those images are hidden?
TIA
Hi, I'm making my own custom wallpaper. I know that the single screen size for the Galaxy S 4g is 480x800. A full desktop is 960x800. The 960x800 wallpaper works just fine on my phone. I'm running ICBINB GB KH1 rom. Now I don't care for scrolling wallpaper, so I made my wallpaper 480x800. When I chose the wallpaper, it gives me the option to crop at 480x800 or 960x800. I chose the 480x800 option, size it up to make sure the whole picture is in the crop and save. Choosing this crop option when prompted on the phone, stops the scrolling. So again, the phone gives you two options to crop. They are 960x800 (multiple home pages that scroll) or 480x800 (single home page that will not scroll, just like a lockscreen.) Now I know this method works, as it works perfectly fine on my brothers stock Galaxy S 4G, as well as my second brother's Galaxy S2. I'm wondering if it is just an issue with this rom. Anyone else running this rom have this issue?
Your absolutely right. It should work just as you described. I am running the same rom and it doesn't work for me either. Some say you can get an app to set wallpaper, but I thought getting an app to do something so basic as setting wallpaper was a not an option I wanted to take. I only use 2 home screens. So basically what I did was make a side by side image of my 480x800 image so that it ends up being one 960x800 image. Then it fits just fine. So when I scroll to the second homepage I still get the full 480x800 image for both home screens. Of course this only works for 2 home screens. Take a look at what I mean with having to make my image side by side to make a full 960x800 image:
you could take you image into photoshop or another image editing program and rescale the image down to the size you want
Is this a possibility on 3.2 (hopefully soon 3.2.1) without root ?
To put it simply I'd like a lockscreen with a lot of color and a home screen more subtle and stylish
AFAIK, not with the stock lockscreen (at least I couldn't find the setting).
However you can try this software: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker&feature=search_result

You can use Multi Picture Wallpaper (Free). Configure the LV to show a different image on the lockscreen. It can be a static image or a slideshow gallery.
not quite... :/
As it turns out, multi picture live wallpaper doesn't quite do what I want it to..
I am missing the opportunity to scale the picture, the standard definition is to have the same image copied on each screen - I simply want my standard picture(which is made for the tablet) and keep the normal movement and cropping.
And then of course the other picture as my lockscreen picture (and it would be nice to be able to crop/scale it)..
A friend of mine told me that WidgetLocker didn't work on his tablet ?
So didn't really want to buy it in case I couldn't make it do what I wanted before the time limit.
Hopefully someone can answer this for me.
Why is it that no matter what size I save an image as that the wallpaper setter always wants me to crop it? I just ran an image through Gimp to re-size it to fit the dimensions of the boot image for the boot image app, bit even at 255x320 the wallpaper tool wants to crop most of the image away. What size image does the darn thing want? Maybe I'm a tech-tard, but I thought I should be able to figure this out on my own.
Thanks for any help you can give me on this, it's been bugging me for a while now.
Can't remember exactly what the wallpaper size is, but I do know I could never get it to work.
Here's what I learnt off another post here.
Download Wallpaper Slide show (Birbeck) from the Market and download any size wallpaper and point the app to that folder, usually downloads. Then select wallpaper slide show under live wallpapers, have it set randomn or whatever you want.
Then you have nice pictures with no need to mess about cropping or downloading exact sizes.
You can change wallpapers on the fly just by tapping on the screen.
Thanks Xoom68,
I'll give it a try.
Try 1920 x 1408
Been playing arond with varous apps to increase the font and icon sizes, and wondered whats the max icon size (in pixels) I can use on the note?
Looking round for some hi-res icons that are larger than default, some of the apps Ive used tend to zoom in, which look awful.. I want to make the most out of the phones res....
Would also help when trawling through the thousands of icon packs, to find ones that have bigger icons...
Love my new note, sold my gs2 to get one, best move Ive made!
Cheers
EDIT:
Ive got an icon pack (zip file) which contains icons of 125x125 pixel, hi res, and am using GO Launcher EX with grid of 5 rows 4 columns, and I the icons aeem the same size.. I notice when I move an icon, and the grid shows, the spaces between the drid marks is huge, how do I make my icons use more of this space???
I think Go Launcher automatically re-sizes the icons. Don't know if GO has an option to turn it off, but i know ADW has it.
the Note is xhdpi (320 dpi)
(Extra-high density screen)
96x96
