Ah sorry, i must have missed that. Although i think the blurry image is still not related to the type of manilla being used. I am pretty positive that it is done by touchflo itself.

I can confirm there is a copy being made because I recently moved all my wallpapers around and happened to reboot shortly after. I wondered if the wallpaper I had chosen would go away, since the original was no longer in the same location, but it did not, which means that TF3D is copying it.

Hmm, so then the question is, is it possible to find where that copy is and replace it with a high res image, or prevent it from creating a lower res copy...

I saw some stuff about manila editor wondering if maybe the wallpaper file can be found there and changed to keep the resolution.

There's a thread at xda development and hacking forum going on about this too. The wallpaper are same on touch hd, so its not device specific either. I've edited the 7adfaca3_manila to change the resolution when it manila resizes the pic. Some test files are attached, just remove the label before copying to windows. Default is saving pics at 512x512, I made files for sizes 100, 512, 800, 1024, 1600, and 2028. After 800 its hard to tell a difference. Manila saves backgrounds in windows directory as homebackground.img. It actually is a jpg file that it makes, here's properties of the image manila made when I was using my modded file for 1600x1600.



Here's some screenshots:

Thanks! I had done some searching at one point, but not found anything about the issue. Probably hard to find the right terms to search on. Your screenshots are quite dramatic!

Hey showaco. Thanks for the info. So i have to find the manila file that stores the bacground image and change it to one of the files you gave with the zip.

Actually, you just have to strip the part of the file name up to and including the underscore for the size you want to use and then copy that file into Windows. The next time you select wallpaper, it will use the new resolution. I have tested it, and it seems to be better, but I can better tell when I am at work and have my Diamond hooked up to my PC with My Mobiler.

@hankbear

Thanks for the info! but I am still confused haha.

So do we need to edit a manilla file? Or are we able to simply rename a wallpaper we have from, for example "wallpaper.jpg" to "homebackground.img" and replace the homebackground.img that already exists?

no need to edit a manila file, those are in the zip. Just remove first part of file name(my labels) so it looks like this: 7adfaca3_manila. Copy that into windows, and enable tf3d again. Then copy some hi-res wallpaper to your phone and choose it in the settings tab like you normally would in tf3d. I am now testing loading the homebackground.img file directly back into manila without it using the standard reload that manila does. It seems to be helping a little bit more.
