Why is it when i get a 10.1 wallpaper from Wallpaper Wednesday and view it, I getbit perfectly fit to the screen. But when i set it its zoomed in and blurry? I've tried stock set as wallpaper, cropping in gallery, wallpaper auto resize app, wizardii app, and wallpaper crop app but going into share menu of Gallery.
This is completely stupid. A beautiful screen and image, dumbed down by cropping. See screenshots

use "wallpaper set & save" from market. it will help
Yup, and Wallpaper Wizardrii is another one.
Not tried set and save.
Wizardrii does not help. I tried all the settings from their thread post. It does not work. I end up with screwedup launchers and the wallpaper will set as portrait in landscape. Very frusterating.

I didnt have much luck with Wizardii either. I ended up using Multipicture Live Wallpaper. that framed pictures perfectly for me without having to crop.

+1 I use Multipicture Live also - it works great!
Did you try changing the compression to 100%,hd wallpaper enabled and image size to maximum in wizardii app settings. After these, try applying wallpaper as non-scrollable. The image resolution should be high! Try the wallpapers posted in this forum and see how they show up! these settings work very well for me, with wallpapers downloaded via droidiris app.
Yes, I did that. At least I am 95% sure. I uninstalled it and other apps anyway. I try to stay tidy.
I am using MultiPicture Live Wallpaper now that I am not using the SPB Mobile Shell Beta for Tablets. I really like it as you get a new wallpaper each screen and it displays each picture full screen in its native resolution.

I have a stupid question ... when I try to change the wallpaper a square box appears over the new image I want to use. This is like a crop box or something. It has arrows around the sides of it. I can click it and make the box bigger or smaller, but it will not fit around the entire image ... or any image that I try ... when I hit save wallpaper it cuts the wallpaper and make's it larger than it should be. I dont get it.... I am use to windows were you just hit fit to screen or cover screen and the wallpaper will fill the screen (either shrink or expand) and wont crop or enlarge it. Is there no way to make a picture that is let's say 1280x800 just shrink to fit on the screen without losing any of the picture or zooming way into the picture like it currently does ?
Please help !
THanks
Download wallpaper set and save from the market and use that to set your wallpaper. This will work awesome.

Did you install an alternate launcher? I did and the same thing is happening to me.
Basically when I try to select a wallpaper it's having me crop the image to fit the original B&N home screen. It gives me the same size box to crop to no matter which launcher I try to select the wallpaper in (I've got ADW and Zeam installed to try). When it displays the wallpaper it's zooming into the image to make it fill the much wider margins that the alternate launchers use.

This worked for me. you have to use the nook arrow -> settings -> home -> wallpaper in order for it to look correct. The launcher wallpaper managers are not working correctly.

Jeds right. Go to the original nook home screen and make your wallpaper change there. Btw if you rotate while cropping the pics, they work out very well. I am using the same wallpapers that I use on my droid1. Just copied them over and made a wallpapers folder on the sd card.

I wanted to give LauncherPro a try again which worked really well on my Evo 4g. My problem is that pictures that I've taken with my front camera wont display fullscreen and require me to crop them directly in the middle in order to use them which makes the image much bigger. When using Sense it does not do this and allows me to use the image fullscreen. I really do not like my background being stretched through tabs . Any solutions?? Any info would be great!
I've been googling for a good hour or so and have come up with absolutely nothing.
Just realized that it has nothing to do with LP in general, but any other launcher. They try to force me to crop the image and while cropping I can't select the whole image, but the image is already in proportion to the fullscreen.
Go Launcher does this for me too. I don't know how to correct it either.
I believe you are talking about wallpaper scrolling. In go launcher it's under screen settings-disable wallpaper scrolling. Launcher pro its appearance settings-disable wallpaper scrolling. I'm trying to decide between the two right now

Unfortunately, while you can disable wallpaper scrolling in the various launcher apps, you cannot disable the way in which it wants to crop the image. Even if you go from Launcher Pro back to Sense it will still try to crop images for the wider, scrolling format. A hot restart after switching back to Sense was the only way to solve this for me. I didn't try that after switching off the wallpaper scrolling option in Launcher Pro so it's worth a shot.
Ultimately, I just gave in and found or made a bunch of wallpapers of a 1080x960 dimension that look great scrolling in Launcher Pro.
I found a solution. Wallpaper Wizardrii allows you to set the wallpaper correctly! It's free on the android market and worked flawlessly.

Well I'll be damn. That app really worked! And the options on it are fantastic!
I've got an image that is exactly 960x540. I'd like to use it as wallpaper, but the selection box does not allow me to select the entire image. When I view the image on the phone, it fits perfectly, but the darn thing will not allow me to select the entire photo as wallpaper. Instead, it forces me to crop about 50% off the vertical axis. I must be an idiot. In case it matters, I'm running CM7 VALPHA3. I've tried it with both ADW and LauncherPro, but they both yield the same results. I tried it both with wallpaper scrolling enabled and without. Someone please tell me I'm missing something simple!
Thanks in advance.
There's an app called wallpaper wizardrii that let's you set the wallpaper however you want it. I use it and it works perfectly!

yeah there is an option to set it as the wallpaper exactly how you see it, so no cropping.

Thank you! Work great.
The resolution that the phone wants is 1080x960, this is because of wallpaper scrolling, doesn't matter if you use the scrolling or not. So if you resize it to 1080x960 it will use the whole picture without cropping.

Ahhhhhh, that explains it. Knowing that, I can uninstall the above app and just create wallpapers the right size from the beginning. Thanks!
It makes no sense. The wallpapers are either 980x800 or 480x800. Standard, perfect sizes. When I set them as my wallpaper, it ends up like this, widgets removed:
You need to set them to 960 x 800

It actually still does it when they are set to 960x800. I made a wallpaper for someone recently and ran into the exact same problem. I think I tested about 15 different configurations without any luck fixing it. I finally had to add a black border around the image, which resulted in the actual image not being cropped at all.
Yes it should be 960*800 or 480*800, try making them PNG's as all of the ones I made work perfectly. Also 960 wont work well on no scroll home screens and 480 wont work well on scrolling screens.
download quickpic and use it to set your wallpaper. it doesn't crop them like the stock gallery app does.
Separate issue but it also zooms wallpaper on the lock screen.

Ive been using quickpic forever, same problems.
Are you using the stock launcher or third party launcher? Once I started using ADW launcher ex, I now have the same issue. I noticed that switching back to stock tw launcher returns the wallpaper to normal. Would love to get this working in adw finally!
I'm using a custom 960x800 png. Also tried a jpeg. Tried setting through gallery, quickpic, astaro image viewer, and wallpaper set and save. All give the same crappy zoomed in result.

I am experiencing the same problem with 3rd party launchers. As mentioned relaunching in TW resets the pic properly then what I do is open my 3rd party launcher, ADW, Launcher Pro ect and in that particular launcher's settings disable auto rotation and/or set default orientation to portrait. This seems to "lock" your wallpaper in the proper perspective. Also some roms don't seem to experience this problem. Been thru so many can't seem to remember which but I think in Miui ICS no matter what the launcher the wallpaper stayed set.
I just stumbled across Wallpaper Wizardrii and it truly is a wizard! I opened it, pointed at my wallpaper folder, picked my wallpaper, hit set, chose "No Scroll", chose "Fit Display". I now have a perfectly applied wallpaper with no gay zooming or pixelation in ADW Launcher Ex.
Thank the gods! Hopefully it will help the rest of you with your wallpapers as well.
I use 960x854 wallpapers. Only the borders are cut out. I use this resolution because 960x800 pixelates horribly on my phone.

I use 800 x 480 and 480 x 800 wallpapers depending on on whether its for the lockscreen or for the homescreen. I have no issues with zooming with launcher pro.
I fix my zoom issue by doing this:
Turning on Rotate.
Turn my phone to the horizonal position.
Open my picture gallery.
Close my pcitire galley.
Picture zooms back out.
I have some 1280/800 wallpapers that I would like to use but when selecting them you can insert the whole pic. You have to crop etc and then you can't see the whole wallpaper.. is there anyway to get my full picture on screen

I use Multipicture Live Wallpaper, and choose the option to show the whole picture. You can have different pictures for each of your Home Screens, or just one across them all.

I had this problem too, but don't worry it will completely work. Thanks to lost sorrow who gave me lessons.
You don't open it from the app drawer. You open it by pressing to add the wallpaper and when it asks you to choose what app or wallpaper to open say live wallpaper and when you do it will ask if you want to open regular live wallpaper or the multilive app.
It will take some tinkering to learn to use he app but there's a TON of different settings and configurations to allow you to do everything under the sun. Personally, I set it to use one wallpaper image that doesn't change, so my wallpaper stays in place and the launcher home pages rotate on top of the one wallpaper. You can also have the wallpaper change at each homescreen or use one wallpaper that turns with home pages but stays the same image, etc.
PicSpeed and Tablet Wallpaper also do the trick. Same thing as above. Choose wallpaper in gallery and choose one of these programs to apply it as wallpaper. This has been answered several times in Themes section.
