Before I lable this solved I'm going to show you how to use all the wallpapers (except) the default natively
First instal launcher pro *make it default*
Use a wallpaper other than the default one(not the bridge, or the dome)
Using root explore go to system/default.prop
Change dpi to 240
Reboot
You will notice the phone density is now hdpi instead of mdpi and the wallpaper is now perfectly shown on either landscape or potrait ( I actully like this dpi but the notification bar isn't compatable with it)
Go back to root explore
System/default.prop
Change back to 160
Reboot
U will now have native wallpapers compatable with launcher pro
rebooting launcher pro doesnt effect the wallpaper, now almost all wallpapers in the market are compatable with our streak,
Let me know how it works for you, those wallpapers are for 480x800 and thats the same res our streak has ,so thats why there compatable with our phone
Are you sure of 240 dpi? When I set it up at 240 (following your instructions) I still don't get the chosen wallpaper to show fullscreen after the reboot.
I have a live wallpaper app that lets you set 800x480 wallpaper to fill the screen in landscape, and set a different image for each of 5 home screens. It's in the forums at StreakSmart. I tried posting a link but xda doesn't like me enough, apparently. The thread is about multi-screen wallpaper.

Guys when applying my fiancees photo as a wallpaper it streches over multiple screens, how can i apply to fit it to the whole screen and stop the scrolling, it isnt rooted etc its completly stock and new today.
If your pic is not 480 x 800 resolution you can't set the whole pic as wallpaper. Any 480 x 800 pic will fit perfectly for portrait wallpaper. Select the portait mode when setting wallpaper: you have 2 options when choosing the pic, to fit on all scrollable screens or just on one screen.
Thanks mate that's brilliant.

Ah didn't know that about the stock launcher. I wanted to recommend you Launcher Pro that has an option to not scroll the wallpaper when switching homescreens.
use launcher pro plus,because its very good and it has that option you want
He asked about wallpaper, not your preference of launcher.

Great App with lots of options
Fed up of stretched / messed up wallpapers in Landscape??
Try This
Can anyone recommend a application that you can use in place of setting a wallpaper the stock way. I have tried Wallpaper Wizardrii which allows me to crop the picture the way I would like, but I still get a black bar on the bottom and the wallpaper doesn't extend behind the notification bar. Any help is appreciated as this is incredibly annoying.
The big thing is to make sure your wallpaper is the right dimensions

This is incredibly annoying on HTC Sense. It doesn't support scrollable wallpapers, it doesn't rotate into landscape mode (without a mod) so then why does it insist that I need to crop a perfectly fine 720x1280 image that should otherwise fit the screen just fine?
What apps do you use to force such an image as a wallpaper, without any gratuitous cropping? I just want a static image on all the screens, no scrolling, I don't care for landscape.
What about a fancier setup with a different static image on each screen? Possible with Sense, without using a different launcher?
I've tired multiple apps but none of them seem to work long term. The "solution" I've come up in the mean is making a Photoshop file with the dimensions of the phone in landscape mode and putting the image I would like add the wall paper in the center. Then save the file as a jpeg and download it to your phone. I don't really consider this as a "solution" as it should not take this much work to apply a simple wallpaper. For now this is the best I could come up with.

Try "Simple Image Wallpaper Free".
It works great for me.

What I use to apply images as wallpaper is an app called image 2 wallpaper. It's a free app and it's pretty good I hate how the stock wallpaper app does this weird zoom and splits the wallpaper 3 ways. Idk it's weird so I use that app and I'm pretty much happy with it

I played with it a bit and it seems the key here is that at least when using Sense, the required wallpaper size is 1440x1280. Yes, that's 2 x 720 (the screen width). I'm guessing that's to allow for scrolling across screens and for landscape mode for launchers that support it. I looked at the stock Jelly Bean wallpapers and they are also exactly 1440x1280. Note that other launchers may have other size requirements and they have their own options to allow scrolling the wallpaper or not. The stock Sense launcher does not scroll the wallpaper or allow landscape and it has no preference to enable it.
So if you have an image that's exactly 720x1280 (as I tried to initially use), what apps such as Image2Wallpaper do is turn it into 1440x1280 by padding it with a solid color (border). You can play with the options and set a white border color for example and then save the image from Image2Wallpaper and look at it, it will be obvious what is going on. Of course, you can do all this yourself in a photo editing application and then set the wallpaper via the stock Gallery, making sure the crop rectangle is fully expanded.
I haven't tried "Simple Image Wallpaper" yet, that may work in a different way as it's implemented as a live wallpaper. I wonder if there's any impact on CPU and battery with using such an app as opposed to a static image.
There's also MultiPicture Live Wallpaper which allows cycling through an album and has plugin for some online services such as Picasa.
Bottom line is that the native wallpaper format is 1440x1280. Here are some nice ones in this size to get you started:

Image2Wallpaper is also valuable to see what the wallpaper and true screen size a device claims to have. Hit the "Info" option in the menu. E.g.:
HOX+:
Wallpaper size: 1440x1280 (with HTC Sense launcher)
Screen: 720x1280
Nexus 7:
Wallpaper size: 1406x1280 (with stock JB 4.2.2 launcher)
Screen: 800x1205
Weird numbers for the N7, I'm guessing because of the soft buttons menu bar.
Landscape Wallpaper is decent if you want to get scrolling wallpapers with the stock Sense launcher.
Here's what I settled on after playing with wallpapers for a couple of days:
Image2Wallpaper: the best app I found for dealing with static images. It has just the right options and lets you save a correct size image that you can later on set via a different app.
Landscape Wallpaper: great if you want scrollable wallpapers with HTC Sense launcher. Not perfect because of the Sense limitations, but good enough if you must have scrollable wallpapers.
MultiPicture Live Wallpaper: great app if you have a bunch of wallpapers and want to switch between them quickly to see what they look like (all you have to do is double-tap the screen in an empty area while your device is "live"). Also nice because you can set it to automatically change your wallpapers if you like that style of random wallpapers every few hours.
Every other app I've seen mentioned and I tried was not worth keeping installed.
I hope this helps someone. Unfortunately the only way to really understand how wallpapers work is to play with them for a bit.
As shown in screenshot, I've changed my DPI/smallest width in Developer options from 360 (default) to 400 (recommended by DPI calculator)
Everything is scaled down nicely including text, icons, and pretty much everything in the UI itself.
But what's bothering me is that the Google Now Launcher's grid won't change for some reason. It still has 4 columns and the spaces between them are so big. Shouldn't it change according to the DPI?
The Pixel Launcher I've downloaded also has the same problem. The dock adjusted fine, which is what I want because now I can put more apps within it. Now I want the same thing for the apps that are not on the dock. Why aren't they changing?
Notes:
Changing the DPI to a far larger number didn't work.
Restarting phone didn't do anything either.
Force stopping launcher didn't work too.

Hi all,
I would like to make a theme with my own animated wallpaper (in fact not really my own, it's an animated wallpaper from playstore).
The problem is: when I go to settints/themes, the wallpaper does not appear in the list...
Is there a way ?
Can you set pic as wallpaper from gallery?
I don't use stock launcher but can you press on home screen and select wallpaper?
Try themes then customize
The select home screen wallpaper.
From within playstore app can you set as wallpaper.
Well, I can customize theme with a wallpaper from the gallery (basically use a jpeg file), but I cannot use an animated wallpaper (eg. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.matitechnique.LiveWallpaper_Traces_Lite), it just does not appear in the theme customization.
I have tried to set it manually, but the mate 20 just restore the theme's default wallpaper ever and ever...

You're using an aplication. Of course it doesn't show in your gallery. Try making a GIF from that live wall, and try to add the gif. Otherwise i don't think you can do it. Basically you were trying to integrate an app in an app . Live wallpapers are apps, that renders a wallpapers, or gif's
