Does anyone use the engadget distro app? It plays in a small window on my device - so wasn't sure if there was some setting to get it to be full screen.

I think it just means the resolution is not fully supported

I select the correct resolution (960x800) and try to set it as wallpaper or save the image and then set it as wallpaper that way but everytime the cropping tool pops up. How do I do it without the cropping tool?
You'll always get the cropping tool - just drag it to the full size and set it. Easy

The biggest it will go only gets like a fourth of the picture. I'm on the correct resolution too so I don't know what's going on.
I assume you know you can drag the window to make it larger/smaller?

When cropping tool pops up dont do anything but center it. Then it will work.

Yeah it doesn't go much bigger though. I'm really confused. If I'm selecting the right resolution on that site it should fit the whole thing shouldn't it?
It should so double-check the resolution of the picture you've downloaded

I'm only getting a small portion of the picture then. Can someone try that site and see if maybe the resolution on the site is wrong. I'm trying the first picture, the big tree.

You might want to resize then. The Sensation is 960x540 , not 960x800.
That's just for a single home screen - wallpaper is wider to accommodate the movement of Sense across the screens

Ahh ok thanks.
How do I make it so the wallpaper slides with the homescreens?
I'm currently using QuickPic as my slideshow program, but the one thing I find is that the image don't show up 'full' screen, and I mean by hiding the bottom taskbar. Are there ANY programs out there will can do this (hide the bottom taskbar) and show images at full res of the tablet?
I'm really interested in this, too. Even some of the office programs like Polaris or Quick Office don't seem to have a way to view slideshows (like PowerPoint presentations) in a way that completely fills the 1280*800 screen.
Don't think it's possible. Probably something hard coded into Honeycomb because of the lack of hardware keys, but I could be wrong.
I have an idea how it could be helped. But I don't have time to write an app that does that - so maybe someone will. The idea is simple: rotate the screen to portrait, but show everything in landscape. That way you have nice 1200x800 screen resolution (because the stupid status bar in on the right, not at the bottom).
Also if you can - star this issue in Android bug tracker: http://code.google.com/p/android/is...=4&colspec=ID Type Status Owner Summary Stars
And this one maybe too: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=15408 (but it's closed so probably noone from Google reads it).

Replying to a 2 year old thread with app recommendation....I'm going to just think your a shill. But you did make it obvious with your signature, so I guess just a evangelist for your app.
Since this thread is a live again. I use Digital PhotoFrame, because it's one of the few that support reading the photos from a network storage (NAS).

I actually use it with my Touchpad Android4.0 so that it autolaunches (via tasker) when docked.

I purchased this app as well, it works great. How did you get it to autolaunch with Tasker?
I've been tying to figure out how to do the same thing.

I'm the developer of digital photo frame. First of all, thank you for buying the premium version. Some other user figured out how to autolaunch with tasker. I can't post the link yet (new user ...) but the title of the google group post is "Tasker, Digital Photo Frame Premium, and Autorun"
Anyway, the settings should be

Good luck. Let me know if you have further questions
Are there any way to use xoom's screen as a multitask screen like we usualy do in a desktop pc. I mean, reading a pdf opened in half screen while another app is open in another part.
So we can have two or more app insight on screen at the same time?
Root, and EOS cornerstone rom... it comes wiht a couple bugs, but it can do it.
Lilly Pad
Overskreen
AirCalc
Stickit
these are floating apps which lets you multi task with them

I wanna split screen, or something like this, in a way i can read a pdf text and also have a notepad to write in the same screen. Without having to change everytime.

The Cornerstone rom from TeamEOS works. From using it, I was able to work with 3 apps at once. It may be a bit buggy, but it is getting better with every nightly that comes along. The only apps that don't play too nice with Cornerstone are mostly games, but that's understandable.
Hope that helps

Hi,
With the Note 10.1, can I open up two browsers at once with the split screen function? My best buy doesnt have a demo unit, and would like to know. Thanks in advance.

Just tried it. Looks like the answer is no.
Nope, You can only have one browser and one other selected app i. e. polaris office, video player, email,S-note or gallery. You may be able to use a pop up browser avaiable on google Play and use this as a second browser.
Edit:
l have just tried my suggestion above and can confirm that it is possible by installing a third party pop up browser. The one I am using is called "Onskreen Browser", I have attached a screenshot that shows two browsers and the S-pen app loaded side by side.
Thanks. That will be a good work around.
This is interesting and can be very useful!

Here is a question regarding this?
Does one of the browsers have to be the stock browser to get it to split screen?
Also if you have a the note app open and some other app that supports split, then you open chrome and firefox in separate windows, can you make one of those windows go on one side of the screen and the other window on the other side?
I am work and my note is waiting for me at home, so after work I will have it.

The split screen will only work with the Samsung apps that have been designed to work in split screen mode, the stock browser is the one that Samsung have enabled which means the chrome browser unfortunately will not work in this way. The pop up browser works similar to the pop up video player where it runs on top of all other apps.
I hope the dev team will have a work around with this.
The split screen will be very powerful will two browsers opened at once, and trading tool platform.

ya i know that it works only with samsung apps, but I am still unclear about the 2nd question I asked. Let's I say have the note app and the stock browser open one on each split screen. Can I then open up another browser on top of it via a window on each side of the split?

Unless its how I have demonstrated it on my screenshot then at present the answer is no, a developer or Samsung's developers may incorporate it in the future.

Cool so technically you could have 2 different browser open on different sides of the split screen as long as you have 2 apps that support split screen open

Yep exactly, in fact this is how I had it but wanted to show that you can have a third app so I made the pop up browser smaller .
Split Browser
Great discussion!
Both Note 10.1 tablet and Note 2 phone, which support split screen don't allow you to open the same browser app on either sides. You can open the stock browser in one side and Chrome on the other side. However you won't be able to open links from one app into the other half or share bookmarks... etc. They will function as two separate apps.
At Appestry we developed Split Browser to overcome these issues. Here are some of its unique features:
Open links and bookmarks from one half into the other half and/or in a new tab.
Resize the two browser halves by dragging the yellow divider line (just like in Note)
Watch videos in full view within each half.
Start new tabs and switch them between the two halves.
Copy the current page over to the other half.
Press and hold back/forward arrows to view history and jump to a page in the list.
... and a whole lot more.
Search for "Split Browser" in Google Play. There is a 5 minute trial version and a paid full version.
Hope y'all find it useful. Please contact us if you have any questions or feedback for improvements!

Thank you for trying it out. I agree, 5 minutes fly fast. However, you can reopen the app as many times you as want and continue to evaluate other features. We want users to make sure all the features work in their device before they upgrade. Please let us know if there is a particular feature you'd like to see in the app. We're working on adding more new features so stay tuned.
I love my Samsung Note II, way faster than my Note 1. Can't wait to test on the new S4. We're working to add Split Browser to the suite of Samsung's split screen apps.
Cheers!
I have 4 different web browsers installed in my GN10.
And I use Multi Window Manager too.
I can open all 4 browsers at the same time
Is anyone aware of a way to make all (or select) apps default to open in floating window mode instead of full screen?
I just got a Samsung keyboard dock and have set up some shortcuts to open frequently used apps but they open in full screen and I would rather they be in a window. Same with opening from the app drawer.
Thanks!

It can only be done if your device is rooted. Then you can use Multi window manager (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bjbinc.multiwindowmanager)

Thanks, yeah I'm using that and it has enabled me to put any app in a window which is great, but if you start one from the app drawer (or more importantly, from a keyboard shortcut) it still comes up full screen and I have to manually window it. I'm trying to get apps to launch in windowed mode by default.

Don't know of any app that can change the default window mode. Not sure if it's even possible with Android. I think it can only be done on each individual app, which is why it can only be done through shortcuts. Mulit window manager as well as Android itself can not differentiate one app from another. With Windows it can be done by using keywords. Try contacting the developers of Multi window manager to suggest it. You're not the only one who would love that feature.
What sucks is all of this should already be natively part of Android, including multi window. Not sure why it wasn't from the beginning. I'm guessing it used to be a limited memory issue.
I just thought of a possible workaround. You might be able to use "Tasker" and make profiles for individual apps to open a certain way or change the window mode automatically when opened
If you try it let me know what happened..

Yeah, I'm trying to see if I can displace my laptop for most of the things I do to run my business where I usually have a lot of smaller windows open and jump back and forth between them, minimizing when not in use. Apps opening in full screen mess up my flow haha...
I'll hit up the developers of Multi Window and see if they have any suggestions. Tasker... I suppose I could give it a shot; bought it a long time ago but never really delved into it. Something to mess with while watching the playoffs
Thanks for the tips, I'll report back.
Floating window shortcuts
I know this thread is kind of old, but you can do this with an app on the app store called "FW Shortcuts". You have to buy the pro version if you want to be able to create a shortcut for any app, but it is well worth it.
