Looking for app that doesnt crop wallpaper - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When I was on JB, I used Simple Image Wallpaper and it was perfect.. fit all my wallpapers with little or not cropping..
apparently this app doesnt work on 4.4
anyone have any idea of another app?

would love to find something that can do this. I love that touchwiz doesnt crop on my s4, just resize it a bit to fit. but all aosp roms afaik like to crop, which really irritates me.

Try Image 2 Wallpaper. I use it on my One when running a Google edition or AOSP ROM. Can't check if it works on the nexus 5 because I don't have mine yet.

TouchWiz For HTC HERO!

I found these somewhere...i forgot where, but they work well on the hero. ill post them here.
i do have a question tho and hopefully the XDA community (You Guys) can help me out.
in both of the touchwiz apk's i have, the default screen is the first fine, im fine with that, but is there a touchwiz for our phones that have the default screen as the middle screen (like the epic)
what's so special about the touchwiz? What features does it have over launcher pro?
it's just for people who maybe wanted to try touchwiz, like me. Its kinda nice and I haven't noticed a lag

Isn't there a setting for default screen? I seem to remember this,setting hidden somewhere in the touchwiz settings.
from the mobile me
I didn't see an option like that. If u see that option then let me know

i think touchwiz looks like a ****ty iphone ripoff. OP thanks for posting but ill stick to AWD.
Samsung widgets r empty cuz we don't have any installed, and even if we could install them I doubt it'd show up. I do agree this is a rip off of iPhone, many others have said that, but I thought this would be nice to share. If u stick to adw or launcherpro, I understand (I'm using launcherpro plus, there is no lag in the latest update)

I would not mind it if it had calendar and bookmark widgets

Can this apk be installed over any Sprint 2.1 ROM (currently running fresh 2.4)?
for droid eris users the first touchwiz apk works just tried it on cyanogen tazz
This is kinda out of place in the Hero forum, but I installed the first one on my Samsung Intercept, and it works great!
It would be nice to see this touchwiz port get fleshed out throughout the OS; messaging and sounds and the whole nine

[Q] Microbes Live Wallpaper

Does anyone know why this particular live wallpaper makes the phone more sluggish than others? It's my favorite one but if you notice.. the performance of the phone gets a bit more sluggish. Kind of noticeable. Is there a way to fix this? Or is Google going to have to fix this in a future update?

Could I ask what you are running in the background because the microbes live wallpaper is the best one for performance.

Really? Even when I kill all tasks it still runs the same. I'm not saying it's major lag going on that it's unbearable. But you can see when something like a window pops up or the app drawer comes up it doesn't look at smooth as it should be. When I use the Nexus S Live Wallpaper it runs a lot smoother for me.
Yeah the microbes wallpaper also does this on my nexus s. The app drawer doesn't scroll as smooth.
I've noticed this also.

My nexus doesn't have a problem. All the live wallpapers run at 18mb for every wallpaper including the microbs and nexus.
Does anyone know how to manually reinstall Microbes?
The custom ROM I'm using (OpenSoju) doesn't include Microbes, and I'm not entirely sure how to reinstall it back.
I tried flashing a 230kb Microbes.zip via Clockwork, but didn't work particularly well

[Q] Edit Sense Live Wallpaper

I have been looking for a way to edit already made live wallpapers. All I want to do is use the HTC LWP with the floating colored circles and edit it to be slightly darker. That way my phone screen can stay a little brighter but the LWP running in the back is slightly dim.
Thanks for any info.
Anyone?

I'm not really sure, but u can use apk manager to decompile the app. The only problem is that u would have to do that manually.

Stock android Dialer and Contacts app?

I just got the sensation today. (I'm coming from nexus one running cyanogenmod). There's really only a few things about sense 3.0 that I like. The camera app, the lockscreen, some of the widgets, and the quick notification widgets (although I like cm7's implimentation MUCH better). Anyways I'm hoping that once the bootloader gets unlocked we'll be able to get cyanogenmod on it, but until then is it possible to get a few stock apps on the sensation?
The only things from sense I'd maybe like to keep in a more "stock rom" would be the camera app and the lockscreen. Everything else I don't really care for. =\
I want the these apps.
* Dailer
* Contacts
* Gallery
U don't like the smart dialer? It's leagues better than the stock dialer...

I made the same transition as you. At first I hated the dialer and contacts, but they've grown on me.
However that gallery does suck total nuts. You can go in the market and download gallery 3d which is (as far as i can tell) the standard gallery you're used to. I'm using it and it feels right at home.
I absolutely can't wait until we can have CM7.1 on this thing.
Also.. is it just me... or are you totally missing the trackball? I keep trying to adjust the cursor with it when editing text just to get disappointed that it's not there...

No...I hate it. I've accidentally called the wrong person already because it doesn't ask if I want to call. Also it isn't showing contacts pictures when calling? Wtf? It just looks ugly to me compared to the stock android dialer. The contacts app is worse. AOSP contact app is so much simpler looking and just all around better.

I hate the gallery app, it sucks so much. Also i've taken a few pics that auto upload to google+ and it shows the date it was taken as jan 1st 1970. WHatttt?
I've only had it for 8 hours so far, and i've already done that at least a dozen times. I used the trackball just for going back a little to make corrections. Going to take a bit to get use to, but in time I will.
I can't wait for CM7.1 on the sensation. Sense to me is just ugly. I like gingerbread's status bar, and the notification widgets in cyanogenmod so much better than sense...It's ugly. Also I don't see the point of putting the recent apps in the pull down bar....
Good thing for launcherpro plus
I am also hunting for the AOSP style dialer...initially when the MT4G came out and was rooted you could just push the contacts/dialer apk to system/app and change the permissions and it would work. I have had no such luck with the Perma-Temp root on the Sensation...

I'm in the same boat here and can't stand the dialer or gallery. Thanks for the tip on Gallery 3d Picked this phone up because it looks and feels just like a larger faster version of the N1 and I figure it will be rooted sooner or later.
The stock Gallery and stock Email
Both work,pm me if you want a copy of them

I guess it just comes down to what you're use to. I'm use to the 3d gallery because I've had the n1 since launch. I'm trying out quick pic though. Anything is better than the gallery app on the sensation. Sense really has left me a bit underwhelmed. The only things i'd want to keep from sense is the lockscreen and the camera app.

your right. I had n1 at launch too. I wanted to like the gallery cause it looked cool, but didn't function that well. Plenty times I has to reboot just for a pic I just took to show. I found Quick pic and been using it since
Lol @ that 3D gallery. I hated it on my MT4G and this gallery is cool IMO. Didn't like Touch Wiz on the Vibrant or Sense on the MT4G........flashed a 3.0 rom and loved it. So I bought a Sensation. I'm just curious to know why buy something you already know you don't like? To each their own.

Full screen Gallery widget??

Hi,
Does anyone know of a full screen Gallery widget that is available for the Note?
There was one on my HTC Desire that was really nice, you could scroll through the photos on any folder without leaving the front screen.
Doesn't seem to be one about, and the stock pictures widget is rather poo!
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk
I've been looking for something like this for a very long time, and the closest I've found is one of the widgets in SPB Software's launcher app. You can only run it while using that launcher though, and that kinda sucks...
I miss this from my HTC Hero days. How come no developer thought about it?
