I'm on wallpapercasa dot com and I'm trying to download a wallpaper. I click on hold on the image and click save picture but the download is always unsuccessful. It works for some images but mostly gives me the issue.
What could be causing this? I'm using the stock browser. I also notice this happens if I'm downloading an image on a website. I will try another browser but this is annoying because I use the regular browser for everything.

I rooted and flashed the Tweaked 2.2 ROM. Before I did this I was on stock 2.3.6. My problem is this: Before I did all this I was able to browse sites in the stock browser, click on a video link, and was given the choice to either use the browser (which would download the video) or the video player (to stream the movie). Now, I am not given these options and it will only open the video player. I checked in the video system app to see if I could reset the "Launch on default" option but it is already greyed out. I did that with the Browser app as well and it was greyed out.
If anyone knows of why my phone is doing this now and how to fix it, I'd be very grateful!
Thanks in advance.

This is most likely due to Tweaked using the AOSP browser as opposed to the TW one. You can always get the TW one back through tweaktools - it's in CWM Mods > ThemeTweaks.

Got the stock browser through tweaktools. Rebooted. Installed. Rebooted. Opened the browser and it locked up my phone. Long pressed the power button to reset. Tried to open again. Same thing. Re-did the entire process of installing the browser and it is still doing it. Only shows one browser installed right now. Should it show two (stock and Tweaked)?
Went back to the AOSP browser and it hadn't locked up since. Still can't download instead of stream though. Guess I'll try Firefox or Dolphin browser.

Looking into this - not sure what the issue is, but hopefully I'll have it figured out soon. I have a workaround, but I'm not a fan of it. That being said, it seems the best I can do at the moment.
In tweaktools, there are two things you will NEED to do to get the TW browser -
1) Applications > preselected apps > TWAOSPapps > StockFP1TWBrowser
2) CWM Mods > ThemeTweaks > StockFP1TWBrowserFwk
That ought to do it
Tried what you said and it worked perfectly! I had also installed Dolphin browser and wasn't able to download instead of stream with it either. But after I got the stock browser back and uninstalled Dolphin, it was giving me the option again.
Thanks for your help!

L I B. You can download videos off CMT. Whoda thunk?
I didn't have to uninstall Dolphin for it to work though.
Hi all

1. I assume you're on JB stock, from ASUS, right? I'm not on a stock ROM, now, but I'll try and extract them from a backup and upload ' em somewhere. Can't do that from my train commute, though (connection is.... crap, to say the least).
2. All launchers, save very few, use the same wallpaper process, meaning that it doesn't really depends on which launcher you use. Have you tried QuickPic for setting the wallpaper?
3. I do not understand what you are referring to at all, so can't help you there. Can you clarify, or rephrase?

Thank you for your help i am awaiting your uploaded pictures
For the 3rd question my answer is that sometimes when i am on my docking station and typing in the stock web browser and want to delete with backspace it doesn't do it. And sometimes when i am scrolling with touch in any web browser it won't scroll :S
I've got a fix for the wallpaper.
Download this and give it a shot. I've had no lagginess on JB based launchers but it lags TSF pretty bad.

You can choose different images for portrait and landscape or just decline to rotate the landscape at all.
Finding 1200x1920 images is pretty damn hard though.

For the web browser not wanting to scroll, in the stock browser, type about:debug press enter, then hit then menu key, 3 dots in the upper right corner, and hit settings. Next hit the labs tab and check enable light touch, it's towards the bottom of the list. This should help with any touch input used in the stock browser.

Anybody can post me the stock gallery pictures? I am waiting for them. Btw i tried those settings for the browser it's okay.
Thank you
I have the Galaxy s3 with Verizon 4.1.1.
I have Google Chrome and dolphin browsers installed. Every time I launch an activity that calls for a browser I get the selection screen asking me to choose which default app to use. I have tried selecting dolphin as the default Always, and I have tried selecting chrome as default always, but no matter what I choose I can click the same link again and it will ask me again which browser to use. I tried uninstalling both browsers and the system let me choose the stock browser always and remembered it as default. When I put the other browsers back on, I have to choose every time again. This also goes for other default app selections. I've had 4.1.1 since Christmas and I still select default apps multiple times a day.
Help please!

If you are stock with root, just use either dolphin or chrome, but not both. Then delete the browser apk from system/app, that way only one browser is on your phone and you won't have the nag.

I use dolphin because it supports flash, and I use chrome because I prefer the UI. Besides, getting rid of only one still forces the nag default app screen between the stock browser and the remaining browser. I would have to get rid of both.
I am not rooted.
Is this behavior normal? I don't want to wipe the phone but I will if I'm the only one having this sort of problem. Does default app selection stick for other people, even when selecting a third party app?
Hi,
Device : Nexus 5 international version (LG-D821) 16 Gb.
System : Stock 4.4.2/KOT49H, unrooted, locked (updated from original 4.4 via OTA)
My problem is the following: I can't set the wallpaper using the regular way (tapping screen/wallpaper/select picture/picking any picture from any folder) and get a error message at the bottom (even before actually setting it) which says 'Can't load picture'.
I get this message on any picture (camera pictures, my own wallpaper folder, downloaded pictures, whatever) anywhere.
So, right now I'm forced to use the gallery app and the "use as wallpaper" function (and 100% of all the pictures I have work fine).
I'm not sure it's a 4.4.2 related issue, I can't remember if I changed the wallpaper using the very same way right after the OTA. What I do remember is it worked perfectly on 4.4.
So I wonder if it's a known 4.4.2 issue/bug.
It doesn't seem related to the files or folders themselves since it used to work on 4.4 and still work through the gallery.
Anyway, any help appreciated.
Thank you for reading

I thought that the "regular" way you describe in your first paragraph is in fact a function of the gallery app.

Are you able to set the stock wallpapers through the regular way or is that only related to you picking pictures that you have downloaded or copied to your phone?
It might be due to format, file size etc... If it is the latter.

I can pick stock wallpapers (have no idea where they are located btw) that way but no picture of any kind (except when running Gallery and 'using them as wallaper'). I haven't messed up with the folders or the files and it works fine anyway, again, from the Gallery app.

Upload one of the pictures you're trying to use as a wallpaper. I'll try to recreate this on my phone and see if I end up with the same issues.

[Edited to replace the jpg with zip file]
Apologies if this has been posted before, I tried to use the search feature but it was giving me an error saying it was temporarily unavailable.
For some reason any downloaded images to my phone (into the folder Downloads or otherwise) are not showing in the stock gallery app? I've tried force stopping the app, clearing the data and cache but still it doesn't want to show the new images
The files aren't corrupt and can be seen in ES File Explorer perfectly fine and I've downloaded Quickpic to see if they show on there, which they do.
Can anyone help?
Thanks!
Yes, happens with me all the time... it gets sorted out by itself.. give it sometime. Refresh gallery from the 3 dot menu in gallery and stay put!
I use QuickPic as my default gallery app... I find it the best!
