When I make a screenshot with the SGS2 it's in .jpg, but I want them in .png for better quality of the screenshot. Any1 knows how to change this?
You can not do this with the inbuilt screenshot function of GS2. You might want to take a look at third party apps for taking screenshot. Some of them offer this function to change extension/quality of the screenshot taken.
Root it and use shootme to capture screen shot.
As far as I know, screenshots are saved in .png format in KG1 and newer. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Can someone please tell me how to change the default picture when you add a photo album widget onto the wallpaper? I must've tried everything

Bump. Really. Come on guys, it has to be an easy fix. Please?
This is sorta confusing. The HTC photo album widget has no default picture. The picture that shows is the last picture that you've viewed.
Isn't it the latest picture you take with the built-in camera? I haven't tried to input pics from PC. Let you know after I try whether latest imported pic appears on photo album widget or not.

Well I just added the photo album from my sd card with pictures from my computer, thre's like 63 and everytime I add the widget, for some reason it sticks to picture number 54 or so. Like, I can't find anywhere to change it -_-
hi everyone. i'm having an issue which i'm sure you all will be able to help me out. i've looked through the wallpaper collection that many of the users have and i right click the image and "save image as" and save it to the desktop. then i connect my vibrant via usb. where should i be putting the wallpapers to get the right look? if i put them in my gallery, when i try to apply the wallpaper it makes me use the crop function then after applying the wallpaper, it's all blurry and out of focus. could someone please help me out?
thanks.
Is the wallpaper proper size?
Cropping a LARGE picture WILL make it blurry.
Just use your computer.
Use paint, a free program on your Windows PC.
Crop it to the area you want, Idk the EXACT dimensions of the wallpaper (someone wanna help me on this?) but crop the about right amount, and put it on your phone.
That should help.
Or maybe the picture is a bad format? (probably not)
You can make a folder call it wallpapers in the int-sd card, and put in there. if you size them first you usually do not run into the cropping problem. Also there are easy apps from the market that do this automatically, so you could use those as well. One of the error that easy to make is thinking that the home screen is the size if you are using 3 or 5 screens then it is 3 or 5 wide by 1 tall, just in case you had not thought about that.
ok, cool. i will try both ideas. i could be mistaken, but i think the correct size for the vibrant wallpaper is 400x800...could someone verify please?
thanks.

You're correct.
ok. i tried both ideas and i'm STILL having issues with the wallpaper. i used GIMP to resize the images to 400x800 and created a folder on my sd card and named it "wallpapers", but when i go to apply the wallpaper, it makes me use the crop feature and after applying it, it's too big, blurry and out of focus and really starting to piss me off. the same thing happens if i try to use one of my pictures from my gallery as a wallpaper. can someone please help me before i lose the rest of my mind?
thanks all.
It's 480x900 I believe.
Just use the app wallpaper set and save.
Not sure why your having an issue using gallery though, works fine for me using the crop tool zoomed all the way out.
It's actually 960 X 800.
Both those sizes are obviously bigger than 400x800 so they wouldn't fix the croping problem.

You know that box that appears on the picture, when you select using it as a wallpaper, is adjustable right?

yes. it is adjustable. that's the cropping tool. (if we are talking about the same "box") i tried using a couple of wallpaper programs from the market and it looks a little better, but not as good as the pre-installed ones.

You would think I could have gotten that, since I'm making wallpapers. Holy oops.
[EDIT] DO NOT USE WITH CM7...IT WILL MESS UP YOUR GALLERY THUMBNAIL
If you are looking for an app to do more than screenshots, the app shootme from the market allows you to save video screen capture. ..video shot or what ever you want to call it.you go on the settings when the apps open and you will see it with the other options

I found it the other day, I just,thought more people should know about

actually if you are using CM7, shootme will mess up your gallery thumbnail.
older picture thumbnail will replaced with screenshot thumbnail.
use PicMe, you can grab picture from your computer via wifi
but your computer and defy must be on same network.
the others is Screen Shot It, just like Shootme,
but it won't messing your CM7 gallery thumbnail.
it's paid one...

Wow PicMe solved my problems... I didn't know about this app.

It's cool!! This is what I want, thanks for your post.
We all had these moments when we just had the opportunity to take the perfect picture, but the camera app slowed us down and we missed it.
Thats why i came up with an idea which will allow you to take photos from your homescreen / anywhere with help of one of the hardware buttons without opening the camera app first.
This is where you guys come in. How do i go on from here and is this something you can achieve with the app tasker?
Would appreciate if you could give your thoughts or put me in the right direction if anything like this already exist!
Im using the galaxy s2 if that would make any difference
Managed to do something almost as good as i want it, its a tasker widget which open the camera and takes a picture.
Its a bit glitchy since it wont take a pic 2 of 5 times and it back out to fast if i add an option to either go home or kill the camera app.
I can post the tasker profile if anyone would like to take a look at it and help me out.
Take pics without opening the camera with tasker + instant upload & auto delete pics
I know this threads pretty old but it doesnt seem to have been fully answered and i wanted this function so... After lookin around i found this post but it didnt do what i wanted, tasker has been updated a lot since this was originally posted so...
A little more googling was done and a while later i came across a way of taking photos without waiting for the camera app to load up...
Create a widget to take a photo instantly without opening the camera by long pressing your home screen for the add dialog, selecting widgets and add a tasker, task widget.
Create a new task and name it
Add a new action - media, take photo
Set parameters - choose camera to use, specify filename, set naming sequence to series/chronological, check discreet for no sounds
*(uncheck 'show in gallery' if using the method described lower down to upload and delete photos with dropsync)
OK this and choose an icon. Then add the widget.
Click widget to take a photo.
A folder named tasker will have been created in /DCIM with the photo in.
I added this as well to save me from filling my phone with photos.
I'm assuming that you have Dropbox already for this...
Download and install DROPSYNC from the play store.
During the setup you will be prompted to link folders -
Link your /DCIM/CAMERA folder on the phone to the Camera Uploads folder of Dropbox
You will be asked what kind of sync you want - set this to upload and delete.
Turn on instant upload and set parameters as desired.
Now your phone will auto upload your camera's pictures straight to Dropbox and then delete the original on the device immediately. Make sure dropsync is not checked in any task killer you have as instant upload may not work.
You can change the dropsync linked folder (or add another if you have pro) to /DCIM/tasker to have your instant snaps instantly uploaded and deleted from handset.
NOTE:
I dont think this requires root access
Whenever I take a screenshot and then try to use the crop tool it only let's me do a free-form selection. How can I make it crop as a full square or rectangle?
I am looking for an answer to this as well. If you learn anything could you post it here please?
looking for this too. the only way only is through photo editor
I have same problem didnt find any way crop the screen shot not in free form. Anyone can help?
Thanks
