HTC Desire :: Custom Wallpaper Setup?
May 28, 2010
I'd like to use a specific graphicpicture as the wallpaper for my Desire.
I tried resizing the JPG to 800x480 which I was told is the correct sizing for the Desire, and transferred it to the phone's SD Card.
The Photo app shows the picture in its full resolution and correct aspect ratio, which looks great.
The problem comes when I select the image for use a my wallpaper, I'm presented with a square box that is wanting to select which portion of the image to use as the wallpaper. I can resize the box, but only so far as the width of the display and the aspect ratio is locked and doesn't fit the screen proportions.
If I select the image this way, only a portion of the image is used as the wallpaper and it is stretched, which looks horrible.
I'm assuming it's something to do with the 'stitching' together of the background for all of the home screens, but has anyone managed to work out what's required of the original image (size, resolution, aspect ratio etc.) to enable a good looking background on the Desire that is fixed across each of the homescreens, i.e. doesn't scroll?
Or is there an app that manages this? I've taken a good look at the market, but nothing seems to work with the Desire2.1

Odd issue I've found - I can't add a custom wallpaper. It tells me it's changed it, but nothing actually happens. I can change between HTC wallpapers just fine. I've tried, jpeg, PNG, various different resolutions (Including screen resolution and the wallpaper resolution of 960x800)...I'm stumped. Any ideas?

There's no way to set a wallpaper for the lockscreen. What's up with that?

Are there any plans to expose the setLivewallpaperComponent(ComponentName livewallpaperComponent) via the SDK? Right now, its exposed internally but not via the SDK.
The permissions seem to be the following which are also not exposed via the SDK: <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SET_WALLPAPER_COMPONENT" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BIND_WALLPAPER" />

I built my first Android app. It is a Live Wallpaper designed for 2.2. When I press and hold the screen, select Wallpapers and then select Live Wallpapers, my live wallpaper has what looks like a default icon with the name of my live wallpaper overlaid. How do I set this icon?

I just wrote my first live wallpaper and am getting ready to publish it, but I've hit a snag on something seemingly simple. I can't get the description to work. I've tried: 1) Putting raw text and string ids as android:description in the metadata for the service in the manifest 2) Putting raw text and string ids as android:description in the service's resource xml file none of those work. I checked the 2 live cube wallpaper examples and neither of those set a description. How is the description (the text under the name of the app on the live wallpaper chooser screen) set for all of those defaults that ship on the nexus?

Is there a default solid background for my Evo wallpaper? All I have been able to find are pictures, or Live wallpapers; not colors.
Or should I set a solid color JPG as the background?

For example, I want to write an activity that launches when you return from sleep (black screen). How can I set this activity to run instead of the default one? In other words, I want to make a custom lock screen.

When you flash any custom ROM, sometimes there is a problem with setup wizard! When you choose any language in Setup wizard it gives "Unfortunately setup wizard has stopped" when you press OK, problem comes again?
When you are in Setup wizard don't touch anything! Then one after another clockwise since the left top corner, press the most top left corner, then the most top right corner, then the bottom right corner, and at the end the bottom left corner!

I just purchased a fascinate today and it's pretty solid, however I noticed that when I try to set a custom picture for the background, it won't let me select the whole picture and it zooms in ridiculously too much. Now, I've tried almost everything, but nothing seems to work. Can anyone help me?Oh, if you have the fascinate, download handscent for messaging. I had a blackberry before the fascinate and it's similar to the crunch sms for blackberry. It's convenient because it allows you to customize the length of the vibrations and led lights, but the fascinate doesn't seem to have led light capability. It also allows you to customize the bubbles a well as the colors per contact and all that. Definitely something to look into.

I can't figure out how to add a custom wallpaper and my LP dock bar that I made to the gallery so I can use them. I transferred them to the SD card but the gallery isn't picking anything up. Do I have to make a folder inside the SD card folder with a certain name?

Every app I make starts out with a number of common base classes, interfaces, utility classes and a basic package structure that has been working for me. Is there a way for me to set up a project template in Eclipse that will give me all of the basic Android project stuff PLUS a bunch of custom packages, classes and interfaces? I guess I could just put all of this stuff into one or more libraries as opposed to creating a whole project template, so if you have a preferred approach or information/links/etc on how to do any of the above, please share (I'm relatively inexperienced with Eclipse, so the more detail the better).

I have created some custom wallpaper and uploaded it to my SD card, but it is not showing up at all when I look for it in the Gallery application. I tried putting the wallpaper in my DCIM photos area, and I also created a Wallpaper folder and put them in there. Still can't get the images to show up at all. They are the correct size and are saved as jpeg files in Photoshop. What should I do?

How can I setup my apps to download to the SD card without having to fash a custom rom? I've tried a few roms here and there but nothing really caught my attention long enough to stick with them.
I read somewhere about booting into recovery and partitioning my sd card from ext2 to ext3 or something like that, but when I go into recovery I don't see that option.

I have been reading through the manual for the Desire and it states that you can have a different lock screen wallpaper to the wallpaper when the screen has been unlocked.
However, I can't seem to manage this at all.
Does anyonw know if this is possible or if it is an error in the HTC manual?
The reason being I would like to have a nice bright lock screen image but a normal black background for when apps and widgets are all over it.

This questions somehow relates to the question when I was looking to get the extras back in startActivityForResult but now I face another challenge.
I have subscribed to receive ProximityAlerts and I have explicitly constructed the Intent to include some Extras. But when I got the service the extras are not there.
After the answers here is the working code:
CODE:..........................
The documentation says param PendingIntent to be sent for each location update.

A few days ago i downloaded the Flikie wallpaper app and was able to save wallpapers on the Desire without any problem. Since yesterday i have been unable to save or set a particular wallpaper. I now keep getting a message "sorry we can not save this wallpaper". I have tried many other wallpapers with the same message appearing.Has anyone else experienced this problem?? Is it likely to be a problem with the app and not the phone?Would it help if i uninstall and then reinstall the app?Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

I haven't been to this forum in a long time, as I've been traveling. I have a 4 gb card at the moment, and I'm planning to get a 16gb. How do I set up the new card? I've got a2sd+ with an ext partition, how can I transfer that without losing my apps or my data?

I set up custom home screens and saved the scene. But every time I turn the phone on, it opens up with the generic scene that first came on the phone.
I have to go into "scenes" everyday and choose my custom one. Is there a way to set the Inc to use a custom scene as "default"?
