Uh... what're you talking about? You can set a 1080x960 (the standard size: 2W x H) as your wallpaper pretty easily via the Gallery app....

he means that when you set a wallpaper with a gradient (eg. say dark blue to light blue), it will show a very distinct change in colour (aka. banding), instead of a gradual change. i also found this problem, and used the app 'wallpaper set and save'.

Use an app called picspeed wallpapers, its a wallpaper downloader that lets you set non scrollable wallpapers by choosing what part of the pic you want
The great thing is that it also works with images that you have stored in your sd card, just go to gallery, choose to set as, in the options should be the picspeed icon, select it and you will be able to set as non scrollable
also theres a custom option to select entire wallpaper without cropping(just what you were looking for)

No it is not. It's Samsungs design feature not to scroll wallpapers.
Try wallpaper wizardrii, and choose "crop landscape". But I'm on Apex launcher so don't know if TW has it.
Again, APEX LAUNCHER HAS WALLPAPER SCROLLING if you use wallpaper wizadrii
It doesn't work ... it seems that is part of the system.

Well I thought so, because it's the same with all new sense phones!

Apex launcher add a new option to select the wallpaper and let you define the galaxy nexus background with scrolling effect.
After installing this launcher this new option persist. The drawback is that there is only one backgroud image... maybe it is possible to add new backgrounds with scrolling effecs if we find where they are placed...

Possible solution for Galaxy S3
I found this application, still beta version :
Scrolling Wallpaper
Andronymus
Description:
This live wallpaper is for devices which do not have the possibility to scroll the wallpaper image with the stock launcher. It is mainly designed for the Galaxy S3.
It is a replacement for the background wallpaper in the home screen.
PD: I can't not post the link because I'm a new user ...
-> the web is -> play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=lwp.superluminar.swallpaper&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImx3cC5zdXBlcmx1bWluYXIuc3dhbGxwYXBlciJd
I cant find a reason why to do this.
I hope developers with custom roms fix this,because samsung sleeps...
Yep ... i agree with you...
lol thats stupid !
A live wallpaper is not a good solution, but is something ...

This is what you have to do.
Put whatever background you want to use on your web server.
Use the stock internet program to navigate to that picture.
Long press on the pic to bring up the menu.
Select "Set as wallpaper"
Finally, the wallpaper is scrollable. And use 1440 x 1280.
Is there a way to fixate the wallpaper in TW launcher?
I just want to have non moving wallpaper even tho I scroll over the launcher pages.
I tried to change the picture size and all, but the wallpaper still moves along with the pages..
Tw launcher.? I never heard of that..but. almost all the launchers, there should be a setting for scrolling wallpaper. I believe it is in screen settings.
This is my signature....
I would assume he means stock touch wiz launcher..

Download simple wallpaper from the play store. It will fixate the wallpaper.
I can't seem to find any wallpapers that look great besides the stock ones. I have the Backgrounds HD app, and the wallpapers are beautiful. They look great. However, once they're cropped down to fit the screen, they don't look anywhere near as great.
So, post your wallpapers! I could use some high quality walls that look great.
I agree. I want some nice looking wallpapers too

I think my problem is with my Nova setup. I set my home screen WP to not scroll as I like it set to infinite scrolling. When wallpapers are cropped to fit just the portrait part, it seems their quality diminishes by a lot.

Why don't just google for hd wallpapers.
All of the wallpapers from here fit perfectly.

use zedge... and if you hate the ads, get root, f droid, and adaway
I use pictures that I take myself. My car, dad's truck, siblings/family, etc. They all look great in 9.6 MP shots

HD wallpapers should be pretty easy to find. I know Google Play has tons of wallpaper apps, which include HD W.P's.... but you could also search Google images for any picture in general. Download it, and scale it down to size within Android when you apply it.
Check out MultiPicture if you want to use more than one image per screen
Been using origami live wallpaper...pretty cool looking. In the play store.

I also use Nova Launcher and chose portrait setting when setting a wallpaper, and I have set scroll to "off" in Nova settings . I use wallpapers from here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nasthon.wpcasa , https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appmox.artcasa , downloading a wallpaper chose the top "highest resolution setting", my favorites are under the Art/Design category. Also when initially setting a wallpaper, when you click on the menu button do not chose Nova, but go to System settings>My Device>Display>Wallpaper>"I choose" Home and lockscreen> then pick the wallpaper you downloaded form Casa HD, enjoy.

I am unable to choose or set live wallpapers because the option does not exist on my sense 4+..
This is because of lite sense version. Download any live wallpaper that creates shortcut and you can set it from there.

okay but what if i have a live wallpaper that doesn't creates an icon??
Download any other live wallpaper that creates an icon eg. 'Jelly bean live wallpaper' in play store and you can select all others there, those that doesn't have an icon too. It's the only solution on lite sense.

Here you go. This small app creates shortcut in your app drawer so you can easily change and apply live wallpapers.

Yep that'll do it, and you can select the other ones from there. It's very annoying that the Live Wallpaper chooser is a HTC application, so they put the option there then blocked it from us. That's a really repugnant practice, and another reason HTC really annoy me.
Alternatively you can change your launcher and the option is there (Nova and Apex for sure).
