Just wondering, does anyone know of any apps that can border a 16:9 picture into a square shape so that I can post 16:9 pictures on instagram without cropping them to crap? Right now SquareIt and #Square can't pull pictures from my gallery

When I try to use a pic from my gallery as a wallpaper it makes me crop it and the pic is all distorted looking. Is there a way to use the whole pic?
You can have the image appear in higher resolution if you use justpictures and adjust the maximum display resolution in the app settings. Cropping is still required due to size differences between pics and wallpapers.
The app also allows you to include, facebook, picasa, etc so all your photos are easily accessed.
i made some photo's in 3d on the o3d, but in gallery they wont show fullscreen. how can i fix this? i ofcource want to view the 3d on the full screen size.
What do you mean by not full screen? Pictures are taken in a 4:3 aspect ratio so you will always have black bars on the sides.

Can you explain whats the problem?
You will always have black bar on sides since the photos are cinverged to give stereoscopic 3d effect.
we stil do not have 3d steroscopic viewers in android market and until that happens we cant see the full screen you want.
Ofcourse O3D does not support portrait 3d.
However even if you take 2d photos they will have black bars on sides. So this is a viewer issue.

Ofcource? On the evo 3d portrait 3d works...although its not the greatest way.
And the black bars are not required for the 3d effect. I think its the camera app that does something with the photos made...wich makes it with black bars in the gallery.
Hmm.. I downloaded stereoscopic gallery from market. Has many options. Choose lg real 3d and it shows the pics with same effect. black bars.
Its the ratio factor of the camera.
photos are 4:3, the screen is nearer 16:9, the black bars are meant to be there, if they weren't you would have some of the picture cropped off from the top and bottom and it would be a lower resolution
I for one do not want this. Keep it as it is!

i dont understand...the evo 3d makes photo's with less megapixels and they fill the complete screen and resolution....
at least it could be modified so the image is zoomed in a bit?
i do not want those black bars even if the photo quality goes back a bit.
The aspect ratio is more relevant than the resolution. Photo's are taken in a standard 4:3 aspect ratio for printing purposes. Hell, if you take pictures in the native screen resolution they would be 16:9 and thus fullscreen but would only be 0.4 megapixel. The Evo3D either takes photo's in a 16:9 aspect ratio or crops pictures to fit the entire screen.
Since you can't change the aspect ratio and you can't zoom in the gallery your only options would be to find an app with which you can crop pictures on your phone or transfer them to your pc, crop them in something like Photoshop and put them back on your phone. You can use the built in image editor but the problem is you can't specify an exact ratio so you have to crop by sight which can be a bit tedious. Once you got the right spots though it's not that hard.
Take a picture, then choose Edit (Bewerken, bottom option in the left menu). When you're in the editor you choose Edit (Bewerk) again from the left menu (top option) and then pick the Choose (Kies) option (left option). Now you have a rectangle in the center of the image. Stretch the rectangle to fit the entire picture by touching a line and dragging it in the right direction. Then you take the top of the rectangle and drag it down five steps. Do the same with the bottom but drag it only four steps. Then choose Crop (Bijsnijden) from the right menu (middle option) and save the image. You should now have a perfect fullscreen image.

The image viewer is the real problem for watching 3D images. I have saved the 3D images as jpg in my computer and edited with photoshop increasing the height of the image to suite 16:9 resolution. To be precise the resolution I kept for the edited image was 4096 x 2304 and saved the image as jpg file again. Now when I watched the image in 3DTV (LG cinema 3D 47")it was perfectly filling the screen with good clarity as a side by side format. I opted the 3D option for side by side format. The 3D experience for the image was really nice with a full screen one 3d image. Now I tried to watch it with my handset Optimus3D. There when I opted for 3d side by side format, the instrument combined bothe left and right side images to a single images keeping 2 broad black borders on both the side. Now with the experiment I find that the 3d image viewing programme in the handset is not properley done for watching full screen mode. Camera is not at all a problem. I think LG will have to look in to this for rectifying the same in the forthcoming firmware updates...
thanks
That's strange. When I crop the images on the phone to the same resolution as you they're displayed fullscreen in the image viewer.
What happens when you change the extension back to jps?
So, on a whim I googled CM10 16:9 camera and found this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901917
I was expecting either camera doesn't work at all, or it would work with 16:9. I took the gallery2.apk and put it on my One S. Camera and gallery still worked but no 16:9 resolution
Maybe someone more capable than me can get 16:9 camera resolution on our One S
The CM10 camera already records in 16:9, but since the grey bar on the right takes up some of the screen real estate, there are black bars on the top and bottom. In fact, you will want to record in 4:3 so that those black bars are gone. Or you can try and make the grey bar on the right transparent somehow.

I was referring to taking pictures, not recording video. I don't mind the black bar because ultimately you end up with fullscreen 16:9 during playback. I guess something that would be relevant is whether the camera sensor is more suitable for 16:9 or 4:3 at 8MP? I don't know the answer to that.

The Camera sensor is 4x3 so it just crops the top and bottom for 16x9 giving about 6MP, we could easily add this resolution to the camera if people want.

Thanks for the answer! I never noticed that the Sense camera only took 6 MP pictures. Talk about HTC screw ups after screw ups.
I guess at this point it doesn't really matter to me, though I can still see a desire for 16:9 photos just because they fill the display. I wouldn't mind having a 6 MP 16:9 mode.
There is a HD1080 option in camera settings if your looking for pictures to take up full screen in gallery.

That's exactly what I meant, just spoke about recording instead of images oops
Is there a way or an app to view photos on full phone screen? (Without the vertical black bars on the left and right)
Change your resolution of the camera to 3261x1836 (6mp) when taking pics.
I know that if I take pictures at 6.1wide it will do it. But it also cut's the photo at the top and at the bottom and I don't want lose that. I was searching for something that I could look/browse/slideshow photos at full screen(like browsing with a zoom) without showing the upper and bottom part (horizontal) of the photo and it could keep the original (standard) aspect ratio of 8MP. Thanks for your reply
Since I bought a smartphone with widescreen display, I'd like to browse pictures in full widescreen mode.
Well, it sounds easy but I can't find a way to do it with the Nexus5 through stock apps.
When browsing pictures in portrait through the Gallery this is what i get: the picture is cropped with 4 fat useless black bars on each side.
No way to get fullscreen with stock apps?

i use the gallery app(aosp), not photos. depending on the size of the photo, it will display more or less black bars. if the size of the photo fits the whole screen, then the whole screen is used.
Keep in mind the phone is taking pictures in a 4:3 aspect ratio which will never fill a 16:9 aspect ratio screen fully.
I suspect you realize that however and are just looking for a photo viewer app that uses Immersive Mode or Transparent Mode to hide the navigation bar. Check out this thread which has been outlining which apps have taken advantage of this feature already.

Not really, the size of the picture is actually a perfect 1080p (same aspect ratio of the Nexus5 display), and i took the screenshot with stock gallery app.

Yes i realized that, in fact i'm taking pictures in 2mpx only for that reason.
Looks like with stock Android you can't take nor view pictures in real fullscreen mode........
Use this instead of the horrible AOSP gallery or G+ Photos https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alensw.PicFolder
