Wallpaper zoomed in with Nova Launcher - Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers

Hi, it's not really a S10 related problem, but the Nova support isn't answering my E-Mail for a week so I wanted to ask here if there's any solution for this:

The wallpaper on Nova's home screen is getting zoomed in, no matter with which app I set it.
On the lockscreen of One UI it looks good.
It's both the same file in 3040x1440.
Wallpaper scrolling in Nova settings is disabled.
Is there any solution for this?

Nova stiil has support on Google+ until that goes away on April 2. Nova also has a Discord community where you can ask, https://discord.gg/sVg9j4J
That would be the best place to ask as this obviously isn't an S10 question.

I talked with the Nova support and they said that this is a Samsung issue and they're not able to fix this at the moment.
Samsung did some changes with the S10 and One UI and it seems that nobody know what they did exactly.
I'm wondering that I'm the only one who noticed this.

Try to add 2 or 3 homescreen and delete them...

One thing I noticed was that you can pinch to zoom while setting the wallpaper in Nova. Had one paper get applied zoomed and that was the reason, accidentally zoomed it myself. Otherwise, it doesn't appear to be doing any automatic zooming of my wallpapers.

Did you compare it when you set the exact same wallpaper for lockscreen and homescreen?
With some images this may not be easy to see but I tried different images and everytime it's zoomed in.
I also tried to zoom out on wallpaper selecting, but it is completely zoomed out. I can see the difference immediately when I set the wallpaper.
The Nova developers are sitting there with S10 and S10+ and can reproduce this issue and don't even have a clue why this is a thing on those devices.

Hi -
To solve this issue, swithc back to your Samsung ONe ui launcher, then set the wallpaper you would like UNTICK the motion effect box, and then switch back to novalauncher, it should be fixed!

[Q] wallpaper resize itself ?

Hi
I tried to use this wallpaper pixel (480x800) but somehow it always resize to 240x400 but when I do a screen capture this is the size I have (480x800) of a blow up picture. Please advice how I could get the full size image display on my i9000. Has anyone notice this ?
Thanks
This is what I would like to have and the size is 480x800

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
And this is what I got and when I do a screen capture the size is actually 480x800
Anyone has similar experience ?
Thanks
Have you tried the app Wallpaper Set and Save? That might help, its a free app from the market just search "Set and Save"
Thank you for your replied, before I'm going to try any apk, just want to know if this happend to others i9000 as I'm using custom ROM, theme and kernal that may have cause this problem.

Yes, it does happen to me on EVERY launcher except for the default TouchWiz UI. I've tried ADW, Launcher Pro and GO; all with the same result. Is there a solution to this within the launchers themselves?
EDIT - I tried Wallpaper Set and Save, but it's not a good solution. it loads the image a bit better, but the zoom is still too great. Also it doesn't provide options for vertical or horizontal area selection on an image
Hi
What I found is by using ADW EX launcher as long as I set my image dpi at 72 less then the it works.

Does your homescreen rotate? I thought they fixed that in 4.1??? The homescreen on my N7 rotates. Why doesn't it rotate on the X?

Do you have "Auto-rotate screen" checked in the display options?

yes. everything else rotates fine. just the homescreen/app drawer. this was a known miss for several versions, which I thought was remedied.

That is a feature only for tablets. Quite frankly, it would be annoying on phones, but if you want it, Nova launcher.
Download an alternate launcher such as Nova or Apex and you can enable auto rotate on the home screen launcher.

dammit. i hate launchers. i never got the draw. even when i was a victim of the heavy-hand of Blur, launchers never did it for me. i suppose the old method of modifying a parameter of a file requires root. can't really remember the technical details.
anyway, with the USB on the bottom and the headphones on the top, not having a homescreen (or potentially even the active notifications screen) that rotates kind of sucks.
EDIT: that's right... edit the build.prop file, add the line:
launcher.force_enable_rotation=true

I've been trying to figure this out too, but all I want to rotate is the active display.
do you think something like "active display.force_enable_rotation=true" would work?
Hate launchers? Get my xperia launcher & fix.
I really like the GEL. my only gripe is the lack of rotation on the active display and the persistent google search bar.

Third Party Apps can't change LockScreen Wallpaper

Hi guys,
I am using tasker, auto Dark theme ( awesome by the way ), but there is a problem with Emui, all of those apps got a feature that consist in changing wallpaper automatically, but it only changes the home screen, not the lock screen, and of course I've selected the both to change.
Any ideas how to solve this problem ?
Thanks ?
Same, have to use the stock wallpaper changer
Yep
It's a 'mess'.
Same behaviour/pb with alternative launcher like nova.
I could change the walls in it, but they're soon replaced by the ones configured in stock launcher/theme app.
I'll try to play with some settings and system file access allow/deny.. With no win.
Good luck
Edit :
Don't know why.. But
Just allowed nova to local storage in system application autorisation.
Reboot
And now my screens settings (both home and locked) stays.
'Cherry on the launch', the sliding home background back too.
Hope it's help on your side.
Ps : of course the magazine lockscreen auto update is off

After reading your post I checked permissions on Nova Launcher, and the setting that allows it to change the lock screen background is "Write System Settings" from the info page for NL, no need for reboot

Classic theme super wallpaper missing (miui 12 chinese rom)

I got the update to miui 12 toda.
I was playing around, i switched the classic theme with another one and now the classic theme is missing the super wallpaper animation. It was similar to mars, but a different view. Also, the location was different. Any way i can get that back?

The images only prove that the lock screen is different. But i can assure you the classic one had spinning animation and a zoom in one when unlocking screen. Because i changed theme, i have lost the classic one. Now when i set it, i doesnt have animations.

Go to settings/wallpaper and super wallpaper than chose earth or mars.
I know about those.
The classic is a different image of mars. Thats why i posted the screenshots.
Its like the classic is a default super wallpaper that gets disabled once you change it. But how do i get it back? New users who upgrade to miui 12 and havent changed anything maybe can confirm.

Its a major update, try to factory reset Device, it will clear our all the bugs
You can download the super wallpapers from APKmirror. They will work perfectly

Question Gallery app missing face editing features as on previous One UI?

Hi. Just noticed on my S21 Ultra I don't have the 'face' icon in my gallery app after you click edit (the pencil icon). On One UI 2 it used to have a face icon at the bottom where if you selected it, you could remove blemishes, red eye, etc - I think it was called a 'spot fixer'. Has this been removed now on one UI 3.1? It was only launched as an update in April 2020 from doing a Google on it. Have attached a pic showing it next to the T icon on the toolbar.

In photo editing mode, just keep on sliding from left to right on the option bar and you will find the face icon with all options including spot remover (blemish).

Thanks for the reply. I definitely don't have this on my S21, do you? From left to right in photo editing mode I have crop, filters, brightness/contract etc adjustments, emoji, drawing tool, and finally text option - i have seen examples (like the one I posted in my original message) the face icon after the text option, but this doesn't appear on mine. So, I guess is it just mine or does anyone else's S21 have it missing too?
Just to add a friend of mine has a Note 10 on One UI 3 and the face icon is not there either, but it was on One UI 2, so it looks as if this has been removed (for some reason) unless anyone can say any different.
have it on mine. obviously make sure there is a recognizable face in the pic, otherwise it doesnt show.

Yeah you're right, just tried taking a new selfie and its there, but it doesn't show on certain other pics (even if the face is clearly visible, and in fact the face is the the main part of the photo).... but ok, I appreciate your help.
is someone actually using the photo editor from the initial software? omg, I usually download some apps to make my photos look beautiful
