Quality of Wallpapers and Autostart

[KR4U7H3R]

Steps to reproduce

First issue

1. Apply an Wallpaper (in this case from local storage)

Second issue

1. Activate Autostart
2. Deactivate Battery Saver for App
3. Restart Phone (by planned restart)

Expected behavior

First issue

• Quality should be the same as in Gallery App

Second issue

• Autostart should work and wallpaper change every 1h

Actual behavior

First issue

• Quality is lower as in Gallery App (Aves libre)

The first two pictures is the problem which I am referring to. The WallYou pictures looks blurrier and pixilated.
The second two pictures show an other wallpaper, and show that the result is more pixilated.
See also the (new) pictures I added in #64.

Second issue

• The app has to be started manually to work. Not a big problem, but maybe you have experience with this?

Wall You version

3.3 (17)

Android version

Android 13

Other details

As I am using quite a lot of minimalistic wallpapers these problems are often visible. Other wallpapers work fine. I really like your app(s), thanks a lot for your work.

The reboot-thing seems to be an Android issue, see https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/251231297.
However, I can't reproduce the issue on my device.
We can try to work around it by listening for phone reboots ourselves (https://ao.foss.wtf/questions/51439450/periodicworkrequest-not-working-after-device-reboot-in-android-oreo).

Unfortunately, I've no idea why the quality of the wallpapers differs.

Ok, thanks for your answer. Sadly I am not an app developer so my help/insight is limited as well.

Unfortunately I don't have any idea what could cause the wallpaper resolution issue (and I don't aim to do anything about it currently, sorry).
The boot issue should be fixed now.

Hi @Bnyro, I am encountering the same problem with the low quality wallpaper resolution.

I think that the problem is due to the method createScaledBitmap which is used in the WallpaperHelper class in both cropped and non-cropped version.

According to this page of Stackoverflow seems to be a common issue with this function.

Most likely, setting this flag to true will improve it a bit. Do you remember any reason on why it is set to false?

No, feel free to create a pull request if you tested it to make sure it actually has an impact.

I tried on my fork, but unforutnately seem not solving the issue, the quality of the image is significantly bad to me :(
