[Q] Screen resolution issue - G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I just got my G Tab yesterday. I've rooted it and slammed on Vegan. I'm really impressed with this thing. The one issue I seem to be having is that I download wallpapers (1024x600) but they never show up properly on it. They are always cropped. Am I doing something wrong?
Also, is there a way to verify that my screens resolution is correct? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Happy new G Tab guy

Yeah, that happens to me too. It seems the wallpapers only show the full art in portrait mode.

The only way I have seen to recify that issue is to download MultiWallpaper Live from the market. Set the single picture that you want was your wallpaper as the default wallpaper and it will fit to the screen as you would expect it to.
I still haven't figured out how to correctly display wallpaper without the use of this program on my GTab.

Couldnt find it in market

https://market.android.com/details?id=se.alittleplaceinaspen.multiwallpaper
Found it but it seems to be a paid app

Set wallpaper with 1024x1024 and they will always be shown without clipping.

The correct app for this is MultiPicture Live Wallpaper, which is free. https://market.android.com/details?id=org.tamanegi.wallpaper.multipicture
After you install MultiPicture Live, it will appear as an option within "Live wallpapers".

Oops, thanks for the correction.

Hey Guys, thanks for the suggestions. I'm at work but will definitely be checking this out when I get home.

I can't find it in the Marketplace through my tab (and I have most of the Marketplace available). When I go there on my desktop it says its not compatible with my device...

You may have to try the market fix (go down to Part Three). However in my experience you will lose access to the device on the 'Web Market' (your device will disappear, never to be seen again). I have not figured out how to fix that, so be warned before trying it.
When I check the 'market', there's a list of apps I look for specifically (Not because I use all of them, but they seem to cover most of the filters). Some of them I've noticed are only available BEFORE the fix, and some (most) only available AFTER:
Adobe Flash/Air*
Mozilla Firefox*
Dolphin HD
Google Apps (Maps, Voice, Youtube, Voice Search, Gmail)
Launcher Pro
ADW Launcher (probably same filter as LP)
Titanium Backup
Yahoo! Messenger Plugin (Voice & Video)
Smart Keyboard
*means they are only available BEFORE the fix, they disappear from the market afterwards, so if you want them, be sure to download them first (may be others).
Of course, these are only the ones I know about, YMMV.
EDIT: If you still have trouble finding it and have another Android device (like a phone), you can download it there first, then back it up (eg. with Astro or TB), then sideload it onto the tablet (copy it over using preferred method, such as USB or Dropbox, then open it with a file manager on the tablet).

multipicture
I have tried puting different backround pics on each screen which works fine until I reboot and then I get a "picture not available" message on all the screens. I have tried several times with the same result.
I am a newbie - what the heck am I doing wrong!

Agree on the 1024x1024. However, if you can't find background in that resolution or no photoshop skill to make it so, use crop wallpaper.
Depend on the image, set it with the gtab horizontal or vertical.
Voila, no low rez crap background.

anyone else having color banding issues?

I'm really curious about actually getting this problem fixed. I don't have very much knowledge, however I am a quick learner. can anyone shed some light on whats causing this problem in android and why its present in every rom?
I've got a bit of free time until summer semester starts and i wouldnt mind spending some time on getting this fixed once and for all.

It's the built in gallery app made by cooliris, which is 16bit. Google's own gallery app that was there before android 2.1 was 24 bit. They opted for the 3rd party solution probably for it's 3d interface to attract more regular consumers.
I love google's apps for it's functionality. But IMO, graphical interface smoothness is not one of their strong areas.

I am on Calkulins 1.1, Clemsyn 9, Launcher Pro, and my wallpaper was always 1/3 cut off and moved to the bottom of the screen. Last night I switched to Go Launcher and it was fixed. Wallpaper looks perfect. Go Launcher has about 7 themes that are free and really cool. It functions a lot like Launcher Pro and is free.

happened to me
Got my gtab a few days ago and tried some new launchers tonight, when I switched to the toshiba launcher my wallpaper messed up. Live wallpapers work fine but normal ones are cropped, tried the fix posted but I got a "no photo to display" message and I don't know what folder the wallpapers are in to fix it.

Opera Mobile Question

I like to change the screen density to 187 on my nook. When I do this it causes opera mobile to be distorted with the menu bars being way larger than they need to be. Is there a way in opera:config to make it go back to the format when the density is set to 161.

The HUGE new GUI from them will be the same regardless of density. I've run things at the default 161 and 187, and it's the same. I just hide the navigation bar (under settings) so it's not in the way so much.
Thanks for the info and the 187 density suggestion.

One might be able to write a custom CSS file to accomplish this.
Have you posted this on one of the Opera forums?
Hmmmmm...I just verified that I'm on the latest version of Opera Mobile in the market (11.1) and mine doesn't look like that. I still have the menu bar on the top, not the bottom. I do see new options such as User Agent Tablet vs. Desktop, so it's definitely a more recent version than the one I'd been using, but it doesn't match the screens here or on the market page. I guess it's worth pointing out that I'm using 170 dpi, so perhaps it determines its layout based on density...tablet vs. phone or something? Any other ideas?
EDIT: Yeah, looking at their Web site, Opera for Tablets still has the bar on top:
http://www.opera.com/mobile/features/tablets/
Since it's presenting me with a user agent setting for "Tablet", I'm going to assume it's optimizing the experience for an Android tablet (which is what I'd want!).
I can confirm it changes when you change the LCD density. When I update cm7 and it has the 161 density it doesn't look like the picture I posted.
Hm. Must be cached somehow? Mine looks the same at 161 as it does at 187.
That could be. I always clear at minimum dalvik cache if not cache in general when updating. Does yours look like the picture?
For Opera Mobile 11.1, the "tablet" setting dumps you to mobile sites. If you want the desktop web page, set it to desktop.
Unfortunately for me, when its set to desktop, OM 11.1 - loads desktop pages super slow, renders it wrong and had problems reloading/refreshing the page.
Use Yahoo.com in desktop setting as an example, you'll see on that page as well as others the header of the page is rendered wrong and often duplicated. This forces me to use the "tablet" but I get redirected to only the mobile site.
11.1 seems to have broken speed, load, refresh. Loading hangs at about 90% complete on most pages.
Anyone found a solution for that? I have the same problem with my Galaxy Tab 7'. I did several tests, and I noticed that for DPI under 174, tablet "mode" is enabled. When I had my Galaxy tab at its original 240, tablet mode was also enabled. But I want to keep it 200, and there's no way for Opera not to think my device is a smartphone.
I've found that this setting shoud be possible to customize within "opera:config" page. That should be the "Left-handed UI" (possibly because in tablet layout, the Opera button stays on the left). But changing that has no effect in my case.
My temporary solution has been to uninstall Opera 11.1 and reinstall the buggy 11.0. That one, at least, doesn't take half my screen with opera interface.
I'm still looking for solutions to this. If you find a solution, please post here =)

I not only tried, but it's my default browser! =)
but when things get heavy, with long searches, many tabs opened and heavy websites, no one beats Opera...
I found what helped was turning off Opera Turbo. But its not the browser hanging, its the ad-server that's serving the ads which may be slow to render a non-desktop browser sized ad. But that is only a guess.

Wallpapers Thread

Been looking for some good wallpapers for my tab but still not liking many so far.
Thought would be good idea if everyone share ones they have or links to where good ones exist.
Also I've been looking at 1280 x 800 resolution ones & always seem to require being cropped. Is this not the correct size?
I'm one for minimalistic and dark wallpapers. the less distraction the better.
this one was my standard wallpaper for ages! i kept coming back to this one because its just so nice to look at.
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/90ubnqudq8l1ddl/t7j34JhrcK/1680x1050.jpg
currently i use this one, but i'll probably be back with the wooden one soon

Depends what you are into. If you google something like Nature Wallpapers HD you should get quite a few sites where you get install straight off the net. Sometimes you get a choice of resolutions. And it's better than copying it into the tab because you don't loose the resolution over cropping. You would have a choce of theams like sports, natur ... Some of them are really good looking. Good luck.
nice wood one thanks
I also prefer dark wallpapers but on the phone. On the tablet and desktop I prefer the high-contrast type of wallpaper, the one that will bring in front the elements on the screen.
So, currently I have this wallpaper: http://i44.tinypic.com/16karly.jpg
The desktop with that one is attached.

I'm glad you like it .
The launcher is ADW EX - and this thing is allowing the naming of the icons/folders according to my liking. All the icons on the main desktop, except Play store, are folders containing the respective applications.
The widgets are:
big weather - "HD widgets"
small monitors in the bottom left - "Battery monitor widget" and "System Tuner"
the music player - PowerAMP
toggles set on the bottom rigt - "Extended Controls"
The other two are Calendar widget from touchwiz and the mailer is "Moxier mail".
That's all ... simple yet functional
Darker than ever for me.

Wall paper issue, any permanent solutions?

I have scoured the four corners of the Earth looking for a permanent solution to the wallpaper scaling issue since November and I have yet to see a solution. I have been using wallpaper wizard and it works but after switching between horizontal and vertical. Anyone know of any permanent solutions without cropping?
This works flawless for me...

This might sound weird, but i had this issue too. I was using Nova Launcher and wallpaer wizardrii and for a while thought it was a Nova issue. I switched back to stock launcher and then applied a default wallpaper and too my surpise the same issue happened.
On a whim ive uninstalled Wallpaper Wizardrii, went back to Nova and installed a full res wallpaper again using Quickpic and since then i have not had the issue, however i only did this yesterday so i cant claim it is Wallpaper Wizardrii thats definately causing it yet.
However, normally, i would have had the problem by now.
Simple Image Wallpaper Free is what I used to use, and it worked great, for Landscape anyway. Wasn't all that pleased with portrait with the wallpaper I had, but the experience will be different depending on what your wallpaper is. You can also choose a whole different image just for portrait mode too.

Real Wallpaper Scaling Fix!!
I have finally found a complete and real fix for the wallpaper scaling issue when selecting an image that is of high resolution for the wallpaper. Download the app "Simple Image Wallpaper Free" and then download the images in the resolution that you want. This app is actually not installed in the app drawer but is installed under "Live Wallpaper". If you press and hold on the main desktop screen, select "wallpaper", then "Live Wallpapers", after this you select "Simple Image Wallpapers Free". Next you will click "settings" and click the option that says "Fill Screen" and put your high res images in where it says "select image." You can also have the wallpaper switch to a different image upon rotation of the screen.

Wallpaper issues seem to go away for my dad when all alternative lauchers are removed. I don't know if that can help someone else, but try it.
Remove all other launchers (nova, go, etc.)
Reset your wallpaper using just the gallery option, not alternative image viewers such as justpictures or quickpic.
See if that makes a difference.
It works for my dad's Nexus 10. I haven't had the issue, since I don't use alternative launchers anyway.

It hides the top and bottom system bars, basically letting whatever is shown on your screen, take up the whole screen. Only possible on custom ROM's though.

I assume it will do. I just bought this one from here for UK - not sure if USA model though, might be EU? https://www.districtelectricals.co....ch-256gb-tablet-5g-unlocked-mystic-black.html maybe you'd be better getting it from UK site. You might have custom charges to pay from USA and it might take a while to arrive. This is the 5G version I got. Only 'problem' is that the serial number on the back is partly scratched off.

Yeah, i was intrigued by the lockscreen wallpapers as well. i can't imagine why they didn't allow the same for the background.
Definitly gonna try Resplash though.
Edit: Resplash sucks... Wen't with the Reddit Wallpaper app...

ruthless launcher. Fling upwards to open app drawer works better than in Nova. And hiding apps works, which is not possible in Nova free version

Question Change Default apps including Launcher

Nubia hides the default apps deep inside settings. I even saw multiple reviewers saying it couldn't be done.
1. Download your 3rd party app/launcher
2. Settings>Applications>App Info>Tap on the three dots on the top right>Tap Default App Settings>Desktop (on the top)>select the launcher on the top.
I can finally get nova7 running as default

There is no bug? I heard Nova had some problems in Red Magic OS 4 before:
Need to know these before purchasing a RedMagic phone
Hello guys I have some questions crossed my mind before getting it : How's red magic ui skin? Is it good? Any bugs? Can you set nova launcher as default launcher without any issue? totally using a launcher instead of default redmagic launcher...

Yes but if you like say are in an app and you back out too much you back to the original launcher but when you click home you get sent back to the default launcher.

So did it fix in OS 5? I want to buy this phone but not sure about its OS 5 yet.
OS 5 has a ton of bugs, the reviewer all complained about the bugs but I've had Chinese phones before so I thought I would be ok with a few bugs/spelling errors. But Its kind of ridiculous some of the bugs I've seen in the week of ownership. It took me half a day to even setup my Google acct(In redmagic's defense, it did seem like google was having purchasing issues that day with people reporting multiple purchases and failed downloads but, I could even login in. It would refuse to connect to google servers at all and I had factory reset a few time so I don't know it was google fault or Red Magic but I didn't see any complaints about login in, just purchases when searched)
There are a ton of spelling errors, words outside of boundary boxes so you cant even read what its trying to say, nonsense names/translations for settings. Phone has the weakest vibrate for notification and calls that I often miss them and if you go to settings called "vibrations and haptic strength" there is no configuration for strength, only on or off. If you select show full notifications on lockscreen they are still hidden/collapsed If you get more than one so I have to swipe open to read the notification making it pointless. I can set the clock on lockscreen to 12hr but AOD is 24hr and there is no way to change that so far. AOD also showed no notifications so whats the point. I turned off AOD The flashlight is a joke and is dim as hell.

This does happen if you don't do the steps I mentioned in the original post.

Is there anyway that you can upload your OS in here?
Ok guys i didn't know this was a thing and gave up using 3rd party launchers. But oh boy it's really working after doing that default app setting stuff and the latest update.
i recently got an update on my red magic 5 (still android 11) and yeah now i can use nova launcher even with the nubia gestures beeing the navigation method. and even after leaving gamemode and killing all tasks in recents i still get Nova launcher.
so yeah I'll probably go with the upcoming redmagic 7 pro. being able to change the launcher is the game changer for me.
only thing I've noticed you have to slide slightly higher to open recents using the gestures otherwise it will act like the home button
I literally got rid of my Redmagic 5G because of this and right after I sold it, they released another update and tons of people were reporting using Nova hidden in settings. I'm glad it's still hidden on the newer OS.
Question though, do you think that even after it's set to the default, and going back from apps and such will restore the default launcher. If you uninstall the default launcher using ADB. Think that would stop it from restoring back or just break the entire OS?
Cause if it can't restore back, cause it doesn't exist anymore.. It "should" default to the only other launcher on the phone. Unless Nubia specifically designed the OS to have their launcher embedded as the safe mode default, rather than the system selected default.
