Default Wallpaper solution

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.

Dolphin 4 set the wallpaper for me from an internet picture just fine, FYI.
I see dead phones, calling around just like regular phones.

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.

Default 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.

Question 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 )
