When setting a video as the lockscreen background (doable in the Gallery app since the Oreo upgrade), is there a way to crop or drag the image/video around to get it centered better on my lockscreen? Right now when I click on the three dots, set as wallpaper, it just automatically uses the direct center of the video, which sometimes cuts out parts of the image/video I want.

Does anyone know of a simple photo widget (like the one that comes with CM's gallery app) that also has a slideshow option (changing pics every minute or so)?
i use Turtle Photoframe. It has multiple widget sizes and borders, allows you to select a folder for the images and set a slideshow interval. i use it without the slideshow, and it allows you to scroll through images by tapping on the widget. works great on widgetlocker!

I'm not sure I like they way it crops photos. Any other suggestions?
Is there a way to get all of the photos when viewing with the gallery to fill the screen without having to switch to landscape mode?
On my windows phone, using HTC's album viewer and scrolling thru the pics, they always were rotated the correct way as to fill the screen without having to rotate the phone, whether they were taken as portrait of landscape pictures.
This is a bit annoying.
Oh, and a second question, how about a way to make the gallery go into camera shots by default when I push the gallery shortcut.
Thanks all wise android gurus.
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.
In Playstore, some apps have introduction videos. For example, Jump Desktop. When I pressed the play button, multi-window was activated and the video was played on the right window. In this case, I would rather had the video being played full-screen. Can we do that without manually adjusting the size of the window?

Go to: Settings - Device - Multi window, and disable "Open in multiwindow view"
After that you can still use multi window, but those windows are not open automatically.
Also while in there you may want go to notification panel settings and make sure that the multi window toggle is in the quick settings panel rather than the available buttons section. That way you can toggle easily by bringing the notification shade down and panning left or right to find the toggle for times when you want to disable it altogether.
I usually keep the open in window on and use the toggle. I'm less annoyed by the feature i guess. I like it in play store when opening video samples of applications where while playing the developer's video I can read reviews or other info.

Sometimes I like to use the device in portrait mode. When I clicked on an introduction video from Play Store, a 2nd window was opened but the orientation of the video was in landscape mode. I had to rotate the device to watch the video. How come the video's orientation was not adjusted accordingly based on the orientation of the device?
Yeah there is no way to control that. I think the way samsung coded the launch action it doesn't check for orientation and adjust accordingly.
Is there a way to make suggestions to Samsung App developers?
Is there a mod or way to get other apps playing video content to 'fill the screen' ... i.e. crop to fit.
Not make app full screen from multitasking or allow apps full screen settings ... I mean like YouTube has a floating crop button to fill the display with the content? ?

On both Amazon prime video and Netflix there's an option to fill the screen. Not exactly the same and sometimes you have to press it a few times but it does work.
Also in display settings you can choose which apps to make full screen. I toggled them all.
