Display banding in OS? - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone know how to fix the transparent banding? Meaning when i drop the notification bar that is transparent the wallpaper looks funny..
Anyone else have issues or am i the only one?

dude post a screenshot, it's better than explaining the problem in ten pages.

I can't post one cause it might look smooth on your screen it won't show my problem

Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Wallpapers

I'd like to start gathering wallpapers optimized for our screen. I've noticed a lot of wallpapers from zedge just don't fit that well and become distorted. Please post your favorites that fit well on our screen!

can't you crop them?
They get really pixelated whenever I crop them. That's what I'm trying to get away from

Doesn't seem to be that many good 720x1280 wallpapers out there. Does anyone have any links to good wallapers? I tried the Zedge app, and it seems to have a lot but not many good ones.
Where do you guys get your good ones?
i use picspeed//do a search in the play store
I'm currently using this one. This one is from zedge.

You can also do an image search in Google restricted to 720 x 1280 and get a lot of results. Lots of screenshots but also some nice wallpapers. Here's two I liked after a quick search...

What I usually do is look for wallpapers that are BIGGER then the note 2 resolutions, then I use photoshop to crop/transform them in to exactly the right resolution for the note 2.
If I do it like this, the note 2 doesn't have to resize and the wallpaper will remain crisp.
Touchwiz doesnt support scrolling wallpapers anymore ( :crying: ) so that resolution would be 720x1280
If you use e.g. Apex Launcher, you can set a scrolling wallpaper. The resolution for that is 1440x1280.
To me it looks like the stock 'wallpaper setter' can do cropping just fine, but any form of resizing makes the imagequality worse.
I got some examples on my dropbox here

Touchwiz density change?

Hey guys, so I changed my LCD density, but touchwiz doesn't traditionally play nice with it, does anyone know if there's a way to alter touchwiz to change as well? If you can see in the picture there's a huge gap between my apps and dock. I cannot move apps below the line they're currently on.

Oh yeah.just looked at it closer didn't zoom in before.I noticed it shows the home screen dots right below that widget.I would think your only option is to try that other apk. I could try missing the layouts of the stock one but I'm pretty sure that's exactly what that other one has.

They look the same to me. ... is that what you are alluding to?
As far as I can tell, I'm not having battery issues either. I got, apparently, 10 hours out of 65 percent or so. If the battery info is true, that's about average with all my streaming and custom stuff, normally taking me 17 to 19 hours.
the status bar didnt change if you want to make it black use xposed framework
Got it. Choose dynamic under screen mode in the display settings and it will be black. Not sure if that's the answer most are looking for but I bet those who have black bars probably did. Give it a shot.

LMT Launcher [PIE]

First off I'm a fan of stock TW on my Note 2, however I love a lot of the features of AOSP. One of those features is PIE. LMT Launcher is almost identical to PIE in every way, maybe even a little better. All you need is root, download the newest app, install, open the app, select "set gesture input", select the Note 2 (number 2) and enjoy. I'm running this on a basically stock TW 4.1.2.

Ok i figured it out......it probably because your on a later version of LMT. So IF you are using Jedi12 which is running 1.9 it will NOT display the faded colors, if you upgrade LMT to 1.96 the Hex colors for the fade work fine.
Thanks for the code Mikey
Works great now. I had to align the commas and spaces properly too. Thanks for the note mate.
Is there a way I can adjust the gradient to become more blue heavy?
EDIT: nevermind, playing around with the numbers. The colours are fantastic.

If you have the latest LMT (1.96) you can assign key 1004 to a gesture or pie item. This will trigger longpress back...

Would you mind telling me how to input the colors? I've tried copying/pasting but i'm not getting that look...just the default blue. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.
thanks
Edit: Nevermind. Upon looking at it 3 more times, I finally saw that I'd left out a string. Looks awesome!!!!
Ok I got it working, but how do I get back into the pie menu to start customizing it? It's not like it created a shortcut in my app drawer, and I've tried pressing every available button to get back into the menu? Help?
Never mind I figured it out.

Ok this is quickly becoming cool as [email protected] i have a question. For assigning apps I wanted to assign maps as main and navigation as long press, but navigation isn't showing up In the app list? What up with that?
Ok more questions... I'm trying to add the phone app, and it let's me assign it, but it won't activate when I press the pie key. I've found this to be true for several apps. So I cleared both blacklists, but still no joy. Any ideas?
