I dont get it, when I use Google Music the albums artwork looks a little blurry , which is annoying since the album art takes over 70% of the music app, now with Kit Kat we have the album cover taking over the lockscreen, actually it becomes the wallpaper when we're listening something , still looks blurry.
What size does Google uses for these images? I make sure my albums have HQ album covers, at least 900x900 and they still look blurry, maybe it's an android issue?
Hell even the kit kat promo showing off the new lockscreen looks blurry

With my N4 most of ths covers seem clean. Maybe because of Full HD
music i got from play music all access covers are sharp and clear, maybe 900x900 being stretched over 1920x1080 is causing them to become blurry? since the system is also cropping and zooming the image to fit as well...
maybe try 1024x1024? or 1200x1200?

Lately I've been using 1200x1200 and they still look blurry, also album covers can't be 1920x1080 because the aspect ratio is totally different , I made a couple of caps, check out the text where it says CHVRCHES on caps (yellow), it looks blurry. it doesn't look that bad on the phone but still it's quite noticeable
that looks more like compression artifacts than blurryness or a cropping issue. do you have the original image to compare against? but it looks like google is compressing the image and that's the cause for the poor quality.
is that file stored on your phone locally or are you streaming it?

i'm also not fine with the quality of the lock screen album art. i hope it will be able to chose the zoom. I personally don't like to see just this small area of the album art. i prefer black bars top and bottom and seeing the full album art than this crappy quality half of the album art
any chances to change the album art size?
For perfect album art quality on the lockscreen you need it to be 1920x1920 or larger.
Is there any way to stop the full screen album art in kitkat?
Just Google the most high res version of all your covera like I do. I stream them and they usually look perfect.

I have a S3 on kitkat, but I get the same problem
Some of the album art pics are larger than the screen resolution, but it still appears blurry...
I still haven't found a fix for it.
*sigh* I guess I'll just have to get used to it.

are you sure 1920x1920 I think album covers have a different aspect ratio, I don't know which one is it but i downloaded a 1920x1920 file and compared to an album cover over 1900 and they have different aspect ratios

Yes, album arts have an aspect ratio of 1:1, they are a square. In Kitkat it zooms in the album art fullscreen though.
Tip: I found that going into my Play Music library on the computer I can edit album info and google gives suggested artwork that is very high quality.

Is there any app that doesn't absolutely destroy the image like this when zooming in? (Why the hell did Google do this crap...)
Any other solutions on the Windows side would be welcome too. (I tried printing to pdf, and printing to 17x22 scaled up, but still looks like garbage when zoomed in on the phone, yet perfect on my PC. Any other ideas?)
Following this subject with interest. noticed my pics from my nikon g11 looked like crap in gallery as well, while beautyful on my computer.

Hmmm, disturbing this one.

Thanks, this works a little bit better. Unfortunately, I think this is just an Android limitation.
I did find however, that if I zoomed in on my PC, took a print screen, saved as another png, and then used pinch and zoom on the new image on my phone, it did not distort at all, finally. Quite a hassle, but I guess Android just doesn't like zooming.
It's asinine to load up a 2,000px X 2,000px image in it's entirety to dsiplay on an 800x600 screen.
The gallery probably downscales it to 800x600 size and zooms in on that temporary scaled picture.
(substitiute 800x600 with whatever resolution the nexus is)

Exactly. There should be no "temporarily scaled picture". The picture is *physically and actually* changed, which should not be happening.
Especially on this so called "Superphone", there should be no reason that it mutilates pictures so that pixels are completely destroyed when zooming in.
quick question that doesn't need its own thread.
I am trying to install the Nemo Player .apk
When I download the file it downloaded as nemoplayer.apk.zip So I tried in my terminal while in fastboot ./adb-mac install nemoplayer.apk.zip and it said it could find the file. I had the file in the SD card, and in my SDK folder. And I also tried astro, but that didn't work either.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Cheers!

Unzip it
So I've noticed that with Multitouch Gallery, the picture is the clearest of all when zooming in, but still distorts if it's TOO wide or very square.
It will always attempt to fit the width of picture in the width of the phone. So best bet is to have a picture that's very tall and very slim. A square picture or an extremely wide picture is the worst, and will look absolutely terrible when zooming in.
The fact that Google coded it so that it absolutely must fit width-wize, and then distort when zooming in, is absolutely stupid.

is there a camera app that has a better panoramic feature than the one that's already built into the HD2? the one that's with the factory camera app doesn't stitch together well. Auto stitching would be great.
Agree on that, "autostitching" should realy be standard. Almost impossible to make a perfect panoramic photo atm...
I really hope someone can make an app with auto stitching cause the HD2 takes beautiful pictures. So having a panoramic feature that actually works right would make it 100x better
Best solution is take individual photos that overlap, transfer to PC, then make panoramas with one of the many progs available for desktop.
I concur. In fact, the best panorama software I had the pleasure to use was (believe it or not) windows live photo gallery.
Here are some examples I had shot with my Canon 720IS...
I challenge you to find any seems, the image was made of 8 images stitched together.

Oh, that's easy to find seems in that picture
Bottom left, something wrong with the tiles on the floor and the handrail/(other english expression for it).
Also, look at the trees from right to left, you'll notice something on the far right side, colours are different too
But that's a pretty good result for Windows Live Photo Gallery!
I still use Photomerge in Photoshop for making panoramas though.
I haven't seen any camera program on a mobile phone do some good stitching and I don't think they are capable of stitching a XX MPix-Pano together well...
I'd be happy if anyone could prove me wrong on this!

Lukas

You got me!!! (though, I still can't seem to find the tree anomaly that you speak of )
As for the colour correction, the source images did not go through any post processing, they were straight from the camera (in full manual with preset white balance, exposure compensation, shutter speed, aperture as well as ISO) I guess the colour variation might be the result of the weird angle of the sun
But, I guess that would be 'good enough' for 99% of users here.
Also, if you are using a mobile for creating panoramic images, that would be the least of your problems.
My wifes iPhone has pretty good app. It's called "auto stitch". It actually works pretty well. Oh well i guess if there's no mobile app for the HD2 I guess I will make panaramic images with PhotoShop. Would be nice to just have it done right on the phone.
Are you looking for something that shows you markers whilst you take the pic, or just something that can stitch pics together?
I think one of the problems is HTC's camera driver (which you'd need access to to write such an app) is a bit of a closed cupboard for developers It's easy in code to access the images after they've been taken (so it would be possible to have an app thatt could stitch existing photos), but not easy (impossible?) to access the real-time video feed bit so that you could overlay stitching markers whilst taking the pics. If you do it the way you're meant to in code I think you get a really low-res version of it from what I've read. Probably HTC being lazy (getting it to work for them but not for any developers). Shame as I reckon we'd have a few iphone-esque augmented reality type apps if things were a bit clearer on that front

I found a way to get pano pic´s on the HTC HD2!
Just install this cab... i tried to put it to work and it didn´t worked... I uninstalled it and after it keep on working fine...
I tried the above cab on my HD2
and in panarama mode it takes a very light/bright first image then freezes and reboots the phone in about 30 seconds. Just FYI.
Strange, because i having enabled panoramic photo function by my own registry mod and this mode working very good (of curse best results are when we set light, ISO etc. manualy).
Unfortunely panoramic photos maked in this mode having low resolution, so i suggest is better take few normal photos in different sides and join in some piece of software in PC, because this give much better results.
I did not create this application so please do not ask me to add or fix anything

I used ADW to make the 4x4 widget into a 4x2 widget and it looks awesome. Here's my current widget first then the rest are underneath it.
These are the different view modes you can use. I personally love the flip one called "Morph Flow" in the app.
This is my favorite music player! Downloads album art automatically, great way to traverse your music, Lets you Queue songs to Playlist and then save playlists. Just excellent.
All I'm waiting for is twitter/fbook #nowplaying integration.
Does cube player still have that ****ty bug where it can't list Artistes with unicode characters? Like Japanese and other East Asian characters?
The concept was great but the cube went on a spinning loop whenever I tried scrolling to a singer with unicode characters. Think it had something to do with the alphabet recognition.

i loved this app while i had it installed, unfortunately most of my music listening is done with the phone in my pocket on random and i use the outside buttons to skip songs, which this app doesn't support, so i quit using it. stand up player though for sure, the automatic artwork download is really awesome.

Yesterday, it showed me wrong album arts for most of the albums. Today, it doesnt show the album covers, even tho I have them embedded in the ID3 tags of the mp3s. At the same time, all other players show the album arts properly.
I have also placed AlbumArt.jpg in each of the folders, so I removed them to see if there is some kinda conflict between the jpg in the folder and the ID3 embedded art, but its the same.
I tired uninstalling n reinstalling. I also searched for some kinda data/database on the SD card related to the cubed player, but cudnt find.

Delete /sdcard/albumthumb/rockOnNg
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Ohh I see...its actually the RockOn - New Generation, since its created by the same guy. This makes me realize that the album arts completely disappeared after I deleted the RockOnNG folder just an hour ago, since I thot it was for the RockOn app that I'd installed recently, since before I deleted the folder, wrong album arts were assigned to wrong albums !
That is, the RockOnNG folder had already been deleted by me, unknowingly. What the hell is the solution now?
P.S. uninstalling and reinstalling n then reassigning is not working.
I solved the issue by deleting the whole albumthumbs folder itself and then uninstalling, reinstalling and reassigning. Now, all the embedded art is perfectly displayed, only the AlbumArt.jpg doesnt work, which isnt a prob as I can embed the art in those albums.
You guys should try PowerAmp.

You can get Lapse it - Time Lapse Pro from here or you can try the free version out here.
What is a time-lapse?
Taken from Wikipedia as it will explain it far better than what I can :
Time-lapse photography is a technique whereby the frequency at which film frames are captured (the frame rate) is much lower than that used to view the sequence. When played at normal speed, time appears to be moving faster and thus lapsing. For example, an image of a scene may be captured once every second, then played back at 30 frames per second. The result is an apparent 30-times speed increase. Time-lapse photography can be considered the opposite of high speed photography or slow motion.
Processes that would normally appear subtle to the human eye, e.g. the motion of the sun and stars in the sky, become very pronounced. Time-lapse is the extreme version of the cinematography technique of undercranking, and can be confused with stop motion animation.

Firstly, lets take a look at the UI of the app:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
On the far left you have the main start screen where you can access the "capture time lapse" camera screen, which is the two screens on the left and the second screenshot is the settings sub-menu, where you can change the capture settings i.e. you can choose what res. to record at; 240P, 360P, 480P, 720P, 1080P and full sensor ("specially for those who want to capture in their devices but render in their computers, you can still render it using lapse it, but it will be scaled to 720P"). We also have the render settings, which consist of what type of encoder to use, either; MP4, MOV, FLV. The quality of the render and the FPS (Frames Per Second), the higher this is, the shorter the video is. When you click "more" whilst in the "capture time lapse" view, you get a sub-menu introducing more options as shown in the above screenshot on the far right.
In the "gallery" sub section, this is where you can view your own time lapse videos as well as viewing other lapse it - time lapse projects using the app (should check some of them out, they are superb!):
Finally lets take a look at the editing UI area:
Here you can preview your video as you edit it, as you can see, we are able to trim the video (remove frames at the start and end), add effects (Black & White, Vivid colours, Invert colours, vintage and an old film effect), add a music track and lastly the important bit, render settings (these are also available in the settings sub menu as shown above).
I have done a fair amount of videos lately, but they haven't come out the best due to shakiness/jerkiness, you need to have some form of a tripod/desk holder or something to hold the phone steady, otherwise the video will be nowhere as good in the end i.e. my first video:
Now for the steady videos Although the sunset was nowhere as good as the above
This is a quick one taken on my one S at 720P (can do 1080P as well but with 45 minutes of footage it would consume a **** load of space! ), 12 frame interval and encoded at 35FPS/MP4/very high quality:
As I pointed out above, you can apply effects, such as black and white, sepia etc. here is one using the "vivid" option:
My videos aren't the best or the longest to show this sort of app of, they are there to just give you an idea of what to expect.
Youtube can stabilize the above video so it looks less shaky/more smooth, but I just wanted to show you the untouched version. Once again, I am sure that you could edit the video on the PC using some software so that it would look even better!
PS. the reason the video quality in terms of "clearness" isn't the best is due to the window being dirty
To sum up, the outcome isn't anywhere near the quality of time lapses done with proper camera equipment and manually edited on the computer using some software, but for a smart phone and a £1.24 app, which does everything for you, it does a damn good job of creating a time lapse video. The app is easy to use, quick and not bloated with settings, features, which make it complicated for the average users. There is also a short video on the play store web page explaining the app and giving a quick walk through the app UI/settings and what to do.

I agree, there are so many to choose from, it would be easy to get lost.
Here are my recommended apps. I'd post links but as a new user I'm not allowed to. Oh well.
Infinite Painter
This is the best painting/drawing app I've used so far. The ability to rotate the canvas on-the-fly while you're drawing is especially useful. The paint-blending is surprisingly realistic. It looks like painting with an actual brush. The interaction with the s-pen is perfect.
QuickPic
It's essentially a superior replacement for the default picture gallery app. A problem I had with android's photo gallery was that it included all the folders on my overfull sd-card, which made looking for pictures extremely frustrating. QuickPic lets you exclude folders (or even your entire sd-card). Also it's free and ADFREE.
MX Player
A versatile video player. It can display subtitles.
AnyMemo
If you're looking for a flash-card app, you can't go wrong here.

Here are my recommended apps. I'd post links but as a new user I'm not allowed to. Oh well.
Infinite Painter
This is the best painting/drawing app I've used so far. The ability to rotate the canvas on-the-fly while you're drawing is especially useful. The paint-blending is surprisingly realistic. It looks like painting with an actual brush. The interaction with the s-pen is perfect.
QuickPic
It's essentially a superior replacement for the default picture gallery app. A problem I had with android's photo gallery was that it included all the folders on my overfull sd-card, which made looking for pictures extremely frustrating. QuickPic lets you exclude folders (or even your entire sd-card). Also it's free and ADFREE.
MX Player
A versatile video player. It can display subtitles.
AnyMemo
If you're looking for a flash-card app, you can't go wrong here.
I'll update my list as needed.

I uss as well the Quick Pic app. Love that one, so much better than stock.
I tried MX Player, seemed descent enough, but I prefer Real Player.

Infinite Painter is the only other drawing app I have kept other than CloverPaint. I have tried many. sketchbook pro, layerpaint, art flow, photoshop touch, fresco paint and probably others i cant recall.
I find infinite painter is the closest to replicating real media, but CloverPaint has more functionality than any other android art programme and is starting to approach desktop aplications type levels with the (admitidly expensive) extension add on

CloverPaint, huh. I haven't even heard of that one. I'll check it out. Thanks.
It's not the most intuitive. But once you have figured it out it makes sense.

I wasn't too big on QuickPic, but I really like F-Stop. Never been a fan of the stock gallery. Actually my favorite replacement gallery was installed when I installed a Lenovo Camera apk on my Note 3, called SEEit gallery, but never bothered to test it on my Note 8.

I wish I could draw, then I would use one of these. However, I seem to have no drawing skills.

I'm in the same boat. Never had much artistic talent. Still doesn't prevent me from playing around with these fancy drawing apps regardless.
Here's my new wallpaper I managed to make in Infinite Painter in about five minutes.
Looks pretty good on my purrty screen!
I'm thinking an Impressionist style painting would be a less challenging project for someone who is less "artistically endowed". I'll be testing out my theory soon.
