Hi, I am unable to apply landscape wallpapers and portrait wallpapers separately. I keep seeing wallpapers on this forum, and they have one dedicated for landscape and portrait. However, I can only apply portrait wallpaper or landscape. It's one or the other.

How do I fix this? How do I apply both wallpapers?

There are 2 ways.
1; There are two files in your Windows direcory on the X1, stwater_480_800.jpg and stwater_800_480.jpg. These are the background files, all you have to do is change them.
2. I have made some 800x800 wallpapers to work great in both modes :) I'm also very picky so I haven't manipulated a lot of pictures for it yet...

I'll see if I get in a mind to upload mine...

This is a quick example: http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y256/dee_chan/8x8.jpg
Just a link now :)

Thanks, I think I know what you are talking about. I haven't tested yet, but I saw the stwater jpgs and it seems as if these two jpgs change in correspondence to whatever I use for a costume background.

Edit: okay it works, pretty nice, do you know how I can change the taskbar and the soft key bars and make them transparent so my background shows on whole screen? I doubt there is a way.

would this work for custom tf3d roms too?
Not in it's best quality, but I did work on the images to make them work. I didn't upload any of them until today right now. It works perfectly on Jack's 3.3 Medium as my avatar.

This is my favorite.

This is one I am always trying to perfect :(


IDK if I'll be uploading more of them but I'll see what happens then.

OH and images should be 800x800. If they don't work, then you did something wrong :p
