If you've installed a new launcher, you may find the same thing I did: it's pretty much impossible to get an image to not distort when used for wallpaper. I messed with this for hours.
Then I discovered the app Wallpaper Set and Save. It runs on the NC, and it does one thing: set wallpaper so it's not distorted. Perfect.
Can you post the apk?

Sure. Here 'tis.
Dolphin 4 set the wallpaper for me from an internet picture just fine, FYI.
This is only a work around though. I want undone whatever it was the launcher pro did or im going to flash my nook and start over.
I'd guess that Launcher Pro just undid whatever hackery B&N did to their rom to correct the natively terrible way android handles desktop images. This app just rehacks it.
Same issue
I had the same problem but what I did was just set launcher pro to show 1 col by 1 row then after the resize went back to 10 col by 10 rows. First pop-up the settings menu with the tiny little menu button between the battery and "U" buttons in the soft menu. Rows and columns are set in preferences>Homescreen settings.
Note this just got my icons back on screen but the wallpaper is still oversized.
Would a subforum for people who want to be LendMe friends be a good idea?
Or would it be better off here?
I think it would work out very well to separate the conversation so people can find people they want to lend books between. It didn't occur to me before for XDA because most of the forums have to do with phones that dont have this sort of social feature
just a thought

A very good thought. We just have to find Nookers who share similar interests. Its own thread would be a good idea.

I'm certain a whole new website/forum will crop up with people willing to lend books to one another. The great thing about lending through the Nook is that you know you'll get your book back! (That is until someone figures out how to hack it to keep the book )

When I use the app, the wallpapers end up super-pixellated.
Any other hackery to get the wallpaper issues fixed?

I won't get picky about it.
But particularly I believe a world of a lot of g1 users, root and non root would really appreciate a home replacement that allows the user to do the following.
Choose which apps to show in the app drawer.
And the ability to move apps out into the "add to home screen" feature that shows up when you longpress the home screen/menu-add. In a new sub section called hidden apps/roughly around there.
So applications to prevent theft on the g1 could be hidden there over being spotted in the app drawer.
:]
Just an idea.
It is a good idea. Should post it in the dream applications+games section Though.
A layered app menu would be nice...

I was thinking that since the hero widget can't be ported to a normal g1 someone could try to use Sweeter home's layer option for an sms type widget similar to the hero.
I think it could work out very well since you can add layers and transparency.
An option to hide the apps in the tray would be nice!! I'm down for that.

Haha I know! Lately I've been bothered at having a very long app drawer, and apps like Photovault, password storage apps,and other not so commonly used apps would just fit beautifully in that new folder I'm suggesting.
I'm trying to keep this thread alive with hopes that a dev will see it and take the challenge so keep this thread alive :]
If anyone could do this, it would be the folks over at Better Android (OpenHome). In my humble opinion, they have the best home app on the market. You should forward this request to them!

I would like to, but half the time I've ever emailed better home they've done nothing but send me minimal short dissatisfying responses. But yea I use Open Home/have bought it.
Currently running Cyans build with the a hero theme or some widgets works fine enough with me.
But idk I think A home has a better go about things like this.
And of course Sweeter home is my favorite.
Yeah not sure why folders in the menu havent been figured out yet...I was almost sure someone would have cracked that missing feature long ago...
i would love a folder app or a tab app to put in the drawer,
you can hide icons, or make a whole tab of just games.
also, i wish there was a app that would lock icons on the main screens.
so nobody can move the icons unless you activate them.
anyone get my drift?
Better Android Says:
That's a good idea, although 'hiding' apps from the app drawer wont provide any securities because they are plenty to launch an app once you get pass the lock screen.

I sent him back an email saying that it would still help to weed out duplicates (like having a shortcut, and in the app drawer). I didn't get a response back on that one.
I would like to see this though.

Yea if we made a larger up roar about it and got more emails to the betterandroid guys they'd pretty much have to do it
Ive just made something like this.... you can "throw" away the application shortcuts from the app drawer and "restore" them using an added menu..

Haha rogro82 beat me to it.
I was gonna link his thread, but i guess he already linked his own.
Maybe you should provide screenshots and more details.
Thanks!
MY 2 cents
So far I love the suggestions and it sounds great.
Have you seen DxTop? I used it for a while and loved the one swipe to any of the 4 screens, maybe something like that. Maybe the ability to add more or subtract screens.
And always keep it fast.
I have heard that there is a mod that allows up to 10 screens, but I haven't found it yet. Please PM me if you know what mod I am talking about.
Thanks.

retske - Just so you're aware, the app that rogro linked to just a few posts above does all those things without needing to install bloatware (except for the "1 swipe" thing...what's a tap or 2 more?).
forgive me if this belongs in QnA but i currently have the awesome nemoplayer app. really nice app but the problem im having is with the widget. when i try to add the widget to a home page with no other widgets in it, it still says not enough room. i also tried a couple of home replacements but still the same result. anyone know why?

The nemoplayer was made for a phone with more screen real estate. The g1/mt3g is smaller and is not able to show a widget bigger than it. You can tell the difference when you open the app and when searching for a picture to look at half of the bottom row is cut off
Wow! The search button actually works. LOL I was about to start a new topic but just searched and look at what happened.

ive seen that topic. im trying to start a topic about where people get their wallpapers.
Wallbase.net is probably my favorite, they have 650,000+ wallpapers.
4walled.org has some good ones, but also has very, very NSFW images, so be careful using that one. You can filter the NSFW results out, but I think that removes a lot of perfectly safe images too since it depends on the community to click the Safe checkbox.
hey, opening this thread to see how your desktop looks.
its less about style, but more about functionality. phones don't count
I am not at home, so will add my shot later.
if you got something special, explain right ahead, since someone will ask anyway, so we keep the talk low and the info high.
Morsed by hitting a plastic pipe with my Desire HD. Excuse typos.
I think most people use

to show their screens. I do wish everyone would list the launcher/apps/widgets that they are using.
Maybe you had something different in mind?

I believe it is a live wallpaper. I would like it as well. I don't think it was included in the system dump though. Someone could correct me if I'm wrong.
if the skies the limit, where's the urgency?
Yeah, it's live.
I'd be fine with a static version if someone could just photoshop the stuff ontop of the wallpaper, etc.
Would that be feasible?
How's this? I totally forgot where I found this, but I'm using it with Intel's ICS Launcher, and it's pretty nice. I'm working through the sdk now, so if I manage to get the live wallpaper to work, I'll post that as well.

If you do, that'd be awesome! Then we could try to get the new youtube, launcher2, and more to work xP. But one step at a time lol.

It's a Galaxy S2 wallpaper. (actually I'm not 100% it's gs2, but it's definitely a default wp from one of the latest phones lol)
Here's a better quality one.
You know what, I think you might be right. I think it's actually from the Nexus S…my fault. It looked kinda close to being a static image of the live wallpaper they used last night (granted I didn't get a great look at it), so I figured I'd share. The sdk dump has very little of value in it, other than for development purposes, but I'll download the Galaxy Nexus dump tomorrow, and see what I can find.
