Hello Honor users
I am facing a rather strange issue with my honor 6, and it;s really annoyng ,at least for me.
The ui background is a strange image , and I dont like it at all.
It shows up in settings menu, music app etc.
It can be seen in the screenshots, for better understanding.
I thought it's a theme issue, so I changed it. No matter what theme I choose, that background stays. In settings menu for example, I think the background was all white.
The sw version is B313.
Anyone else having this issue? How can it be solved?
Any feedback would be apreciated.
It is because of live wallpaper.

Thank you for your reply. A static wallpaper should solve it, then? I will try it
yea, same problem with certain live wallpaper.

I'm wondering if it's possible to change the background in the messaging to app to maybe the home screens wallpaper or any image really. I looked in the mms.apk and didn't see anything about a background. If anyone has any idea how to do this that is great, but if there is a lot coding involved I'm fine without it. I'm not good at that stuff.

use handcent.. it already has these options.. plus u can customize a different background for each person if u like.. absolutely zero coding
I figured Handcent would be recommended. I am using it now but the send button is so ugly LOL thanks though
Hi,
I'm having a weird problem I don't even know where to post. I recently created a picture which is perfectly visible in the gallery, and browser. But when I set it as wallpaper, I can see very visible banding effects. Is this a software bug or a hardware issue?
The wallpaper in question is linked below here:

Thanks.

Try using an app called Wallpaper Set & Save. I use it and it makes the banding and detail look much better. Hope this helps!
Hey, I tried it. Thanks, it works well. Though one wonders what's the problem with the default one.
I think because of the ability to resize it, it must do something weird.
Launcher Pro widgets can do this too unless you use High Quality mode.
Does anyone else use this app and experience a problem where after a while half of the wallpaper goes black? It seems to be something to do with the orientation because it's as if it thinks it's in portrait so it cuts part of the wallpaper off. Switching the tablet's orientation to portrait and back temporarily fixes it.
Not sure if it's an app bug, honeycomb or just my tablet.. haven't seen anyone else mention it :S
No it is not your tablet, I had the same problem with my xoom. Are you using another program like HD wallpapers to set wallpapers? If so, this is your problem. What you have to do is download the wallpaper you want then use ww to set it. Hope this helps.

Ah ok thanks! Was using ww to set it to no scroll and then was using gallery to set the wallpaper. Have done it with ww now so should be all good.

I'll have to give that a try. I had stopped using the program because of this issue, but scrolling is SO much smoother with wallpaper scrolling disabled. Thanks!
Hmm.. thought it had solved the problem but it still happened. Have sent an email to the developer so hopefully will get a response
Cannot say thanks enough for the WW app!!!! I was about to go postal trying to change all of my sizes for wallpapers! Nothing worked and it all looked crappy. WW to the rescue! Thanks a ton!
And now I have the dreaded "black bar!!!" Jeezus these android devices are kilin me here! Why is this so damn difficult...
Forgot to post response from dev the other day, seems to be a problem with android not the app:
Hello James,
Thank you for taking the time to contact Twisted Apps. I really appreciate the information and hopefully I can explain the issue.
The black screen is not due to Honeycomb, but instead due to an Android API bug. I have noticed the error myself and I have only created a work around for it within the app. I have tried posting the issue to Android forums, but I haven't received a goodresponse as of yet. The problem happens more redly with devices that rotate because WW has to set the display demensionseach time the display isrotated. It isduring this Android API call that the screen goes back. The Wallpaper is still set, but nothing shows. Otherthan rotating the display, I have also created a Fix menu options. Select Menu->Fix and it attempts to resetyour current wallpaper. I personally have only noticed the error a few times with a few otherrandompeople mentioning it happening seldom. You are the first person to indicate it being more often then not. I amreally sorryit is causing issues for you.
Not the best solution, but here is a work around. Use WW to set your wallpaper as Scroll, and then if you want to set your screen to No Scroll use a home app such as Launcher Pro. When a home app normally sets the display to No scroll it doesn't keep reseting the display dimensions upon rotation. To get the Exact Setting with Scroll you will need to set the Wallpaper as Exact and then select menu->Scroll. Menu->Scroll will keep the current set wallpaper, but change it from No Scroll to Scroll. As a note most people like WW because of the No Scroll option, but WW also automatically resizes the images withouthavingto do special modifications to the image.
Twisted Apps is my startup with WW being the firstapp. I have anotherfull time occupation,but I willlook into this issue in the next couple of weeks to see if I can find a more permanent solution. Again,I sincerely appreciate you using WW and your time to e-mail me.
I hope you can be patient while I find a solution.
Sincerely,
--Russell T Mackler [email protected]

Recently got the Pixel 3a and love it. The only thing that bothers me, on dark wallpapers, the notification bar has a greyish backdrop under it. Is there anyway to remove this from both the home screen and the app switcher screen? Nova launcher seems to clear it from the home screen, but the app switcher still has it.
I can't attach photos to show, but just set a pure black wallpaper then look at the top of the screen.
Could you try using a different launcher? I think Nova Laumcher has a option to show/hide shadow on desktop.

Yeah, I have Nova already and it removes it from the home screen, but it's still on the app switcher screen, unfortunately.

Unfortunately, I don't have a solution for this, but I still wanted to add, that I had my 3a sent in for repair partly for this exact behavior.
I can't link a photo atm, but on a solid black wallpaper I could see ~4 brighter bars at the top of the screen, and something similar at the bottom (like LCD/LED displays suffer from clouding, but technically impossible on an OLED). I recommend you to turn on the screen rotation of the Pixel Launcher, because it follows orientation, therefore proving it's not a hardware issue per se.
Like you said, it doesn't appear on screenshots either, so it is beyond recognition of screen capture. Another software layer maybe.
Could you also carefully check dark greys and blacks of any video? Those colors seemed to be muddy for me, especially noticeable when using a black filter dimmer in CF Lumen.
Also, I might add that my Pixel didn't have this issue for the first months, it suddenly appeared and was even gone for one day before sticking.
So yeah, I guess I had this exact issue as well, let me know if you find out anything and I'll make sure to let you know how my repair went.

Try flashing this module via magisk manager and see if it is any better... modified pixel launcher.

Do the attached images show the issue you are talking about? Adding to my post above, that I contacted the Google support chat, and after some troubleshooting they told me to send it in for repair.
Still waiting for it to get back, it has been more than 2 weeks now (including holidays).

Yeah, you can see the grey gradient at the top. It's like a backdrop on the status bar. Yours looks a bit worse than mine though, as mine doesn't stand out as bad as yours. What that is called, is gradient banding. And I checked some dark videos for you and don't see it in videos. Also, my grey backdrop at the top doesn't have banding, it's a smooth gradient. You can google gradient banding to see examples of what it looks like.

I don't have a rotted device....yet. I might consider doing it soon. Is this just a custom file with the backdrops removed?

Gotcha, I always described it as if a gradient got its color depth reduced, good to know there is an actual term for that.
And thanks for checking the greys. My whole display was affected by this issue, rendering darker tones what felt like yellowish/greenish, looking muddy.
And to reiterate, it became like this from one second to another, so if anything broke, you might be affected before noticing, because for you it looked like this from the start, from what I understood. I hadn't had a chance to compare it to another 3a, maybe that's something for you to check, just to be sure.
Still, I'll let you know when I get mine back, if the repair helped and if they found the culprit, or if I'm going crazy entirely.

Yes, just an edited Pixel Launcher.
Quick update as promised:
I have my 3a back and they told me they replaced the device instead of repairing it.
The banding is now gone (of course), but the drop shadow is still there, although barely noticeable. Hopefully the other suggestion worked out for you.
So thanks for telling me about banding and sorry for a possible confusion. Really glad to be back on team 3a though.
I've purchased the Pixel 7 Pro when it came out and migrated apps from my OnePlus 6. Since then the wallpaper has been changing automatically every day. Doesn't happen on the OnePlus. It didn't bother me much, but after a while it started to get a bit on my nerves. And I am now trying to avoid doing a factory reset.
I haven't rooted this phone yet as I need it for work, and I am wondering if anyone in this awesome community have some ideas they can share on how to debug the problem. Do I need to root the phone to be able to identify the problem? (avoiding this as I won't be able to use it for work due to the apps I need)
I've gone through all apps to check whether they have any automatic wallpaper switcher and couldn't find the culprit. Also uninstalled any wallpaper related apps and disabled the ones that I couldn't uninstall.
I use Nova Launcher and uninstalled it for a few days to see if that was the cause (it wasn't). And I've searched on the phone for all images I have to try to find the active wallpaper to maybe identify the app this way, but can't find anything. Using Mixplorer, but probably will need root to better access all files?
Any help is appreciated.
Um, have you used the Styles& Wallpaper built in app? This should overwrite everything else as soon as you set it to something...
I did yes. But as there is no automatic wallpaper setting in the Pixel I guess it doesn't change that.
I've tried setting live wallpaper, static, own photo, and it always change.
It's been a challenge trying to find the issue
Maybe someone can point me in the right direction to identify the wallpaper location or some logging.
Damn that's weird Good luck with logging, I think it'll be like looking for a small needle in a large hay stack... Unless you know the exact moment it changes?

Try clearing the cache and data of the Wallpaper & style app and rebooting.
