Guest Gnitrops Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 you can do it by using an app called multi-picture live wallpaper free on market Olny that it lags the phone a bit and the images aren't very well cropped. I'd like to use the black background + desktop visualizer thing, but it ain't fitting very well either :\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest animous Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 as soon as I can get rid of the banding in the gradient, which is driving me nuts (any tips from the pros on how to do this are more than welcome). Replying to myself here to share my findings. Short version: The work around to no banding is to use the app Wallpaper Set and Save to set the wallpaper. It seems that the stock wallpaper setter doesn't use original images as-is. It makes a temp copy which it compresses and does other nasty things to before setting it as wallpaper. Long version: Initially I thought the problem was my image, because the banding was visible when setting the wallpaper in LauncherPro or the stock launcher, when setting it using Gallery or Astro and when viewing the image in Gallery, Image Viewer or Astro (in landscape mode). I tried all sorts of things to get rid of the banding, including stuff like How To Correct Banding In Your Gradients Using Photoshop. After much googling, I stumbled upon someone who said there was no banding if they used the app Wallpaper Set and Save to set their wallpaper. I tried it and lo and behold, my wallpaper was set with a perfect gradient. Conclusion: it seems that the stock wallpaper setter doesn't use original images as-is. It makes a temp copy which it compresses and does other nasty things to before setting it as wallpaper. I suppose the mechanism for setting images from the built-in "Wallpapers" or "Wallpaper Gallery" is different, because they contain images with gradients which display fine.

Guest taine0 Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 (edited) Olny that it lags the phone a bit and the images aren't very well cropped. I'd like to use the black background + desktop visualizer thing, but it ain't fitting very well either :\ I uploaded some i made in a previous post, just copy their sizes as they fit. Heres my latest home setup. Yeah, I like scarlett johansson at the moment. Widget locker mod with power amp, sms unread count and minimalistic text/fancy widget with miui skin, modded analog clock, sms unread count, minimalistic text, widgetoid/poweramp, desktop visualizer icons/transparent facebookmod, minimalistic text, one seven/atoma RSS. Multipicture live wallpaper for multiple walls and ADW EX launcher Edit: just saw the posts about the gradient on wallpapers, make sure you save the images as .PNG's and put them in a folder called wallpapers. You can also edit JPEG's with photoshop and save them with reduced graident settings. Edited January 29, 2011 by taine0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest taine0 Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 Thanks again taine0, I will give it a shot soon. You removed your "applications" screen? I stll have it, but thinking of removing it. With ADW EX letting you make your own app drawer folder, it kinda makes having an application page pointless. But it looks exactly the same, so no point posting it again. Also, just a bit of info. I found that multipicture live wallpaper runs more smoothly than using desktop visualizer to mark each page, plus it looks so good with the fade effect. Which is the main reason I went back to it.

Guest Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 My latest theme, more of the icon as wallpaper. I'll just go into a little detail about the widgets used and stuff. lockscreen: Widget locker, poweramp, sms unreadcount Home page: modded analog clock, desktop visualizer for the icons, fancy widget and weather with miui skins, minimalistic text, widgetoid and switcherpro. atoma RSS reader The background is just a black image, so all the tags are done with desktop visualizer. Still need to finish media and social pages (need to download a facebook app to use with ADW EX) Might upload theme when i get chance, have to make some other icons first, though! Good job! Thanks for sharing your work with us, it really looks amazing! ;) I was woundering if you could post the wallpaper used for the Application-screen (why not all of them? ;) ), it really looks awsome. Do you use MultiPicture Live Wallpaper or how do you get multiple wallpapers? Also I was woundering where you got those big icons used on the Application-screen (they are bigger than default, right?). Once again, great job! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest phlum Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 (edited) Here's my homescreen as of yesterday. I've changed it since. Yeah, I know, no Desktop Visualiser stuff - but you can get a glimpse into what music I listen to so that doesn't matter. XD The wallpaper, as ever, is from our good friend Zedge. And I've just realised that the middle screenshot has a different app drawer icon to the rest. Silly me. ;) I guarantee that it'll be changed yet again at some point!
