I'm running the Illusion custom rom provided by $droyd$. I'm loving the rom, but the home screen doesn't seem to use the whole screen like liquid smooth did. I can't seem to shift my cLock widget to the very top of the screen (see picture). Right now, I have it at the very top that the rom will allow. Where do I go to change this behaviour?
Apparently, I cannot post outside links. Please paste this link and go there...

Note: I would post this on the illusion thread, but I can't due to the lack of post that I have done
I'm not 100% sure if this is the problem, I had it when I first put LiquidSmooth on my One S - It looks like your problem might be your LCD Density settings. I don't know much about Illusion as I've never used it. The HTC One S has an LCD Density of 256 PPI, most phones use 240 (I always set my to 240 rather than 256).

Hi everyone
So, I have this Android Tablet called the Haipad M701 which runs on Android 2.1
By default the icons and everything are HUGE, doesn't look too good So, I rooted the device and found a density setting which by default was at 240. I changed it to different values between 160 to 240 and with smaller values it looks very nice
BUT at any value other than the default 240, almost ALL apps and games are no longer in fullscreen
Does anybody know if there might be a fix for that?
Thanks
wow... not a reply since sept... not sure if you get it fixed or not.
one step you can try is to turn off the compatibility mode in your tablet.
this should fill up the whole screen in most apps except some apps that written specifically for small screen phone without adding large screen display mode in it.
What would be necessary in order to change the resolution. I feel smartphones don't need a bigger interface but maybe a bigger resolution.
Also anyone care to point me in the direction of flashing daemon oc on a mod.

Can't answer the first question, but second one is did you check the development section?

For the resolution you need an app that allows you to change the density of your screen. There are a few in the market.
Be warned though, changing your density can cause some apps to act up or not install at all even.
*insert sig here*
You will need an app that can edit the build.prop files and change the density from the stock 230 I believe to something higher.
You can use something such as...

My density is 160, and everything looks great, but I want to change the wallpaper size, as well. Everything is small, but the wallpaper is friggin' huge... like normal. I have nosense script, so I can't do live, plus live wallpapers is not used by GoLauncher. Wallpapyrus won't load and I has this other app that puts the whole wallpaper, but it does it by width, not hight. Wouldn't it be nice if a wallpaper could be set to hight and just adjust to width or drop off excess from width?
For example. Using a 1024x600 res wallpaper on a device with 480ishx800ish screen. Make the hight fill/stretch to the 800 and scroll the excess or cut it off but leave the hight at 800. Of course, you would have to maintin the aspect ratio of the image, no stretching the width to fill the screen, you know. Instead of cropping an image to...
Even of excessively large wallpapers with a hight of 1024, it takes it and supersizes it, but only allows a crop bix of 480ishx800ish. I just want to fill a high def wall paper on this screen and have it scroll left to right accordingly.
If anyone knows of an app I can get my hands on to do this, please let me know. Also, there is a line in build.prop that says ro.product.display_resolution=4.3 | 480x800 WVGA Resolution... Would it be possible to change the resolution from there?
Golauncher can most certainly use live wallpapers.

So, what is the issue? Why when I load wakkpapyrus and click the "Set Live Wallpaper" button it crashes? Everything else works fine except that.
I have a feeling that the issue is your screen density. Alot of apps will not work when you change your density. I just tried wallpapyrus and it works no problem. Another app you might try is multipicturelive. Change you're density back and try again..

Gonna give it a shot... Get back with you tomorrow night.
So Who else is having issues with wallpapers? After about 5 tries my wallpaper randomly decided to semi-work but the ends are still cropped but it's usable.
Can't find too much information on what the default 4.4 wallpaper crop thing does or how to use it (got mine from random luck).
For example the image i'm trying to use is 1920x1080
images6.alphacoders.com/419/419916.jpg
Managed to get it to center but it only shows this (from full left to right on my 3 pages/homescreens)
postimg.org/image/nl9r0o42l
So basically -
1. Anyway to resize or anything to show the full image on my nexus? (Have 3 homescreens/windows). I tried image2wallpaper but it only showed the same as above
2. How the hell does 4.4 kitkat's wallpaper settings work? Sometimes it would choose full left (So only cloud was shown), othertimes full right(So only sephiroth) and from random luck it centered with the edges cut like i said above.
Or is this simply just the limitation because of the devices size

Some images, based on their file type and size and how you crop it, will try and push itself behind your Google Now home page rather than only behind your custom home screens. The best way to probably do this and resize your image to the same size as the default wallpapers included with KitKat to give you a better understanding of where they need to be.
Test cropping - apply a default wallpaper and get used to the crop pattern and then try that with your re sized image to apply to your custom lock screens.
Just a thought.
Seems like what i'm looking for is the "proper" wallpaper size rather than the resolution
So I noticed that with the Nexus 5 image that's on the box (like this one http://img11.hostingpics.net/pics/787373KitKatWallpaper03copie.jpg), except I don't think that's the actual one, if I zoom out from Google Photos, I see the red bar at the top. Android lets me set it as my wallpaper, but when I reboot, the view is zoomed in again. It seems Android resizes wallpapers on its own.
Proper wallpaper size is 2160 x 1920.

What is the resolution for the N5's viewable screen area? I want to make some custom wallpapers but I'm trying to find the best wallpaper resolution for them... the portrait size.
Thanks!
At the risk of being enabling, 1080x1920.
I'm not sure if the stock launcher lets you set static wallpapers though. If you're trying to fit it in that cross, you're going to have to make it bigger than 1080x1920. Sure you can find a template somewhere. Or use a different launcher.

Still have no N5, but I might tell you about another android device I have.
I made double width size wallpaper and it asked to trim it. So far, so good.
To make jpg I used imagemagic remotelly with something like:
convert -size 2160x1920 xc:"#color" background.jpg
If this method fails, you could always try again.
Best regards.
I just run a bunch of tests on my Nexus 5x (the screen size is the same as Nexus 5) using an image with a grid and I thought I should write down my findings here.
I have icons on two screens, so it is asymmetric: I have my main screen and a screen on the right, there is no screen on the left. The image has to be a little larger so that it scrolls nicely. The thing is that my phone shows _the middle_ of the image on the main screen. So the main screen is 1920×1080, when I scroll right 60 more pixels on the right become visible. Since there is nowhere to scroll left, 60 leftmost pixels of the image are never visible.
To sum up: one needs a 1920×1200 image (1200 = 60 + 1080 + 60). Leftmost 60 pixels are never visible.
Does anybody's S II Plus or ROM have the actual, proper (in my opinion) version of the CRT screen off animation?
To detail a bit, I am looking for the one where you can see the screen's contents scaling down into a horizontal white flash line, and can also observe a subtle "chromatic aberration" effect.
If I remember correctly, I have only seen it in the first build of the unofficial Dirty Unicorns ROM port for our phone, and it seems to be gone now in the subsequent builds. I cannot yet post in the development section to get an explanation.
The "bad" version of the effect that I have always had is quicker, choppier, and the screen somehow turns black before the white flash - the scale down + chromatic aberration effect is nowhere to be seen.
Here is an example video of the kind of effect I'm looking for:
Its available on SAZY ROM v5.0 (Stock 4.2.2)
