6630 wallpaper bug

[dakku]

Hi Guys,
I got my 6630 on monday, very happy with the phone, but I have found a bug.

If you are a wallpaper addict and constantly keep changing between them, then this might interest you.

SETUP 1
* Select a theme.
* open gallery and choose any wallpaper (176 x 144)
* Set as wallpaper

PROBLEM
you will see that the wallpaper on the desktop is blurry. This blurriness is cased due to the 6630 not converting the JPB / BMP to MBM file in the correct size.

Blurry Desktop Wallpaper

The converter WILL ONLY convert to 174 x 144 or less. This means you get a nasty 1 pixel bkgrnd on either side of the wallpaper

OR if your wallpaper is the correct size (176 x 144), the gallery converter will try to shrink the file to 174 x 144. This results in the image being blurry.

TEMP SOLUTION
1a) If you have a 6600, open your wallpaper in gallery.

1b) Options --> set as wallpaper

2) Use FE Explorer and navigate to c:/system/data

3) Bluetooth the backgroundimage.mbm from your 6600 to your 6630

4) On your 6630. open the backgroundimage.mbm (in your sms inbox)

5) save the file to C:

6) using FE Explorer, cut the backgroundimage.mbm from c:/nokia/images

7) navigate to c:/system/data and paste the backgroundimage.mbm (from 6600 )

8 ) it was your to overwrite, press yes.

restart and you are done.

Just use Rasco Photoviewer. ;) Simpler than using a 6600.

Another way is to fix the image height to 208. The background image looks great with this dimension.
