When switch my nook it landscape mode on the home screen (by turning it horizontal) and then moving it back to portrait mode, my wall paper seems to zoom in. Im wondering if its just a go launcher thing or i messed something up somewhere along the line.
Can someone test for me? Im using the standard built in nook wallpapers.

Have you rooted and installed gapps on your device? I noticed immediately after rebooting that the wallpaper was being stretched, even before installing go launcher. I dunno what is up.
I have a wallpaper i downloaded, and i don't appear to have this issue.

Yes i have. I even did a system restore to see if that fixed it, and it did not. Right now i just disabled auto rotate on the home screen and set the background to vertical mode (in the luncher settings).
This is the onlyway i can make it so itdoesnt zoom in.

Is it a Hd wallpaper like the ones that came with the nook tablet? Do u mind setting your background to one ofthe default wallpapers and testing?
Sent from my BNTV250 using Tapatalk
Ive noticed that the NT's default pictures app does a pretty terrible job with wallpaper cropping. I have much more success when i set wallpapers directly from dolphin browser. The 1024x600 resolution also doesnt seem suited to alot of the wallpaper apps either. Ive had more success downloading 1024x1024 wallpapers from sites that tailor to the iPad.
Sent from my Nook Tablet
The standard Go wallpapers (like the vertical rainbow), seem to work fine for me. I too, have found images set directly from Dolphin seem too look the best though.
*edit* Just recreated what you're describing. Does it with nook wallpapers, but everything seems to work fine for me.

And I too, am seeing the zooming effect using 3 different launchers.
Had the same problem with custom wallpapers, Wallpaper Wizardrii (from market) seems to be able to properly size the wallpapers so there's no strange zooming. Use the 'stretch' option on a wallpaper that's larger than the vertical dimension (1024).

I am getting very frustrated with the NC and Wallpapers. No matter what I try I can not get photos to display correctly on the home screen. I have tried many different options and no matter what I try the only thing that works is when I reset the device to factory defaults and not root it. I have tried Zeam and I have tried Launcher Pro ... I have tried everything that people have sugested to try and still the result is a zoomed in picture that is formated incorectly on my home screen.
Is there any solution to this ?? I have tried setting the wallpeper in both portrait and landscape mode and get the same result. I have also tried Wallpaper set and save to no avail. I can't believe this is happening to everyone and there is no solution for it.
Please help !!
My NC is currently Fully rooted with full adm and shell support. I can install apk's just fine and widgets. I have Zeam and Launcher Pro installed. This all started when I installed a laucher, so I know it is a problem with launchers but you need a launcher on the NC to do anything good :O )
THanks!
Not the simplest way, but I have found that if I convert the image I want for a wallpaper to .png and put it in the "my files/pictures" directory, it lets you set the image as a "wallpaper" like the other default wallpapers. you will want to resize the image - maybe 1280x1024. Some of the other default wallpapers have an image size of 840x1024.
The nook appears to NOT resize / zoom in on the .png files the way it does on .jpgs.

Just apply your wallpapers to the nook home screen in landscape position. Sometimes you have to [email protected] the first pic then it gives you a landscape version. This will apply the wp across the other launchers as well. It does with zeam anyway.

nvm didnt work, looks like it has something to do with the original size of the wallpaper you are looking to apply.

For some reason, the conventional set wallpaper option is buggy. I uninstalled Launcher Pro as this seemed to create more issues, and now use Zeam.
Here is the method I have found to work:
Open up gallery to view your wallpapers/pictures
Select a picture/wallpaper
Turn the Nook to landscape and tap the picture until wallpaper options appear on the bottom. Select the wallpaper icon
Touch and drag a corner to expand the rectangle to the entire frame
Turn the nook to verticle position (normal)
Save
Discard (picture may show again)
Exit out to your home. It should look normal.
I've been using the MultiPicture Live Wallpaper app. It's a little buggy (at least for me), but it will use a full picture as a wallpaper.
You'll need to have Live Wallpapers enabled to use it.
i'm having the same problem, it all got started after i installed adw launcher. after uninstalling i can't get it back to normal. the wallpaper is zooomed in and i don't really know how to fix it

You're welcome. The key here is when you drag the corner to select the part of the picture. If you can't select the entire frame, it thinks you are cropping, and blows everything up. This is the only way I found where you can select the entire frame.

Not sure if this is what you are looking for, but in most launchers, there is an option to scroll (or not) the wallpaper. De-select that option and the wallpaper won't move when you scroll across screens. For instance, in Zeam, it is under preferences>workspace>scroll wallpaper
No wallpaper or "continue read" button issues here.
I've used photos, stock NC backgrounds, etc. Seems fine to me.
Continue read works great as well.
FWIW: Rooted with Nooter, using ZEAM launcher and Softkeys 2.0
I've had success the last few days using Dolphin HD to download my wallpapers from Google Images... Looks great!
For ADW (and possible any other launcher with multiple screens) i find that using a 1200x1024 png image placed in the my files\wallpaper directory then applied using the Nook default selector and using the image from the "Wallpaper" tab and not the "Photo Gallery" tab works best.
There is no stretching or pixelation, and the image fills all five screens of ADW.
Respect to all you out there who know what you're doing (I sure don't), but the "fixes" in this particular thread seem to be band-aids to the actual problem. I'm computer savvy enough to believe that launcher pro did something to the coding as far as screen size. I've noticed that when I use the B&N Home launcher, the screen scrolls further left and right than it did previously (before installing launcher pro). Also, when using stock backgrounds, there are black bars on both sides of the home screen (left when scrolled left, and right when scrolled right).
Does anyone know how this can be actually fixed, without doing the "set wallpaper in landscape mode?" There's got to be some way to return the screen resolution/size back to the way it was before launcher pro changed whatever it changed.
I suppose factory reset/re-root is one option, but I was hoping there might be another way.

This method is the proper way to get wallpapers to display, see this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=883948. If you are cropping or turning your nook landscape to set wallpaper, you are not seeing the wallpaper at the correct resolution.
For those too lazy to click links, here is my fix from another thread. 100% perfect wallpapers on ADW's 5 screen setup.
To get an perfect wallpaper using 5 screens, like in ADW:
- Get an image that is at least 1200x1024
- Crop (dont scale) it to 1200x1024. A really easily way to do this is open the file in Photoshop, copy the entire image, then create a new file that's exactly 1200x1024. Then just paste the image and use the arrow to drag it around to whatever looks best to you.
- Save the file as a .png
- Get it on to your nook. (SD card transfer, email and download, whatever)
- Open Wallpaper Set & Save
- Point it towards the folder you have your wallpapers in
- Select the wallpaper you want
- Hit apply
Bam. Perfect wallpaper, no stretching, no compression. Looks great! I'll post screens later today if I remember
I used a 1920x1200 wallpaper I had on my PC, cropped it, emailed it to myself, then used Set & Save to place my wallpaper. It's really crisp.

Hey everyone - having a slight problem with my all-time favourite wallpaper (which I brought along from my Symbian device) in combination with GO Launcher Ex.

Unfortunately Google & site search weren't able to provide a satisfactory solution ..so, anyone have an idea how to get it working?

Cheers mate, seems to have worked!
Blew the pic up to 480*852 first and then cropped 52 pixels from the top (only black anyways).
Resolution still seems to be fine enough.
Guess another possibility would have been to make a new all black 480*800 image and copy mine into the centre of that ..
Mmh. Will try that aswell.
*edit*
Crap. Just installed the newest version of GO Launcher and back to zoomed wallpapers we are - regardless of size. Only way to fix it is to switch back to TouchWiz and then back to GO Launcher again - which sucks.
!%#'"§!
What if you use Wallpaper Set and Save or Wallpaper Plus? They come out very sharp when I use apps like these.
I have noticed this bug as well. I can get it resolved by going back to the default launcher temporarily, set the wallpaper there, then relaunch Go Launcher, and it seems to be correct. It only happens to portait pics where there is no background scroll though.
Could it not be due to the wallpaper being in scan mode (as you go through the 7 screens the background image moves along)? Because in my HD2 (in SD Android) would select a square-ish area from the centre of the image I wanted as a wallpaper. When I changed it to the same image for all screens, then the selection of the image was in the same shape as the screen.

Are those Apps? Haven't heard of them before and might give it a shot - however there's probably also a certain increase in battery use associated with that method, something I'm not sure I'm prepared to accept.

Yup, exactly the same here. If only it weren't for the GO Launcher Calendar widget, I'd try another launcher or stick with stock TouchWiz ..

After the research, it seems the wrong of Android system. Because the API we use to get wallpaper of system give us the zoom wallpaper.

Same here happened. I just switch to TW luncher and back to GO luncher
Actually, installing the latest update of the GO Calendar widget seems to have fixed the problem.
When I installed it the wallpaper first bugged out again but when re-setting it, it worked fine without switching to TouchWiz. Perhaps that'll work for someone else, too.

Just an update: I found that switching back to twlauncher fixed the problem with the wallpaper! Switched back to Go Launcher Ex and it stayed fixed. Weird.
In case that doesn't work
Hey I found that my background would not scroll if I swapped to the tw launcher and then back, and it seems that its the default wallpaper selector. I use wallpaper wizardii and choose the scroll option when setting wallpaper and it works great.
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
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using XDA App
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.

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 played around with this in Photoshop for several hours the day I got my Nook Tablet. I found that the following dimensions will size your wallpaper images perfectly:
840 px wide x 1024 px tall
It's easy to test. Try sizing your wallpaper to these exact dimensions and copy them to your device. Then go to the *stock* Nook home screen. Press and hold to bring up the Change Wallpaper option. Navigate to your newly sized wallpaper image and select it. If it's like mine you won't even be given an option to size/crop. Like the stock wallpapers, it will only give you the option to Save or Discard because it's already sized correctly.
When using other dimensions I was always given the option to crop.
Hope this helps someone.

Google Image search has a nice feature that can limit results to a specific size, I find this useful for finding odd sized wallpapers.
Like so: http://goo.gl/yBPo1
I've found that using Zedge from the market and applying the wallpaper from Zedge itself sizes them perfectly as well.

I think the dimensions are probably more useful to people resizing their own photos to use as wallpaper. You can crop them to the exact size in Photoshop before sending them to your tablet.

I haven't played with landscape much. The dimensions I listed above take into account the default Nook Tablet home screen with the thick "daily bar" on the bottom, "currently reading" status on the top, and wallpaper scrolling between 3 home screens.
Since the device doesn't support a landscape home screen by default the wallpaper size will likely depend on the launcher you use, whether or not you have the status bar displayed and how many home screens you have if you set the behavior to scroll the wallpaper with the home screens.
Let us know what you find out.
I made several wallpapers at this resolution but, even after selecting the whole image with the crop tool, it still zoomed in on it. Has any one else experienced this?
Oh, and I'm currently using GoLauncher. I don't know if the wallpaper displays properly under the Nook Stock screen

I'm having this exact issue. Picture shows up perfectly on my lock screen, and if I go into the nook home screen from there it shows fine, but when I go into Go Launcher it zooms in again and stays that way until I reset it in the nook home.
Very annoying as it screws up the definition of my wallpaper...
I have been able to get mostly non-blurry wallpapers since I started using QuickPic to apply them. It's a great app, much better than the stock gallery app, so I'd recommend getting it in any case. And it shows up in the market without having to sideload.
For images I have just been getting ones from InterfaceLIFT in 1280x1024 resolution to make sure I have enough pixels in all directions and it works fine.
I think the difference I'm seeing (not sure if others are too) is between an image being set as Fixed (sorry, I can't remember the app I used to do this, but I did it via the main nook launcher rather than through Go Launcher) and having it switch to scrollable.
If I could figure out how to keep it as Fixed it wouldn't be an issue. It works just fine for an app I downloaded from B&N's market, but not for my own images.

I had this issue and it even crashed my Go Launcher after switching from the stock Nook home screen to my Go Laucher home screen with the 840.1024 size wallpaper. It turns out that Spare Parts compatibility mode was screwing things up. I had compatibility mode unchecked to make some of my apps run at full screen and it was affecting Go Launcher. After checking compatibility mode, I selected the 840x1024 wallpaper on my stock Nook home screen and when I switched over to Go Launcher it was fine.
Do you guys have Spare Parts installed and compatibility mode unchecked as well?

That was not the issue, however I did figure it out:
Go Launcher has a wallpaper setting for Stretch or Fixed, defaulting to Stretch. Once I adjusted that (found in Screen Options under Soft Menu Key > Preferences), my wallpaper went back the way it should be and all is well again!

I was able to keep scrolling and have a properly sized wallpaper by using Quickpic to set it. APKTOP was the market I used to find it. It worked for *most* of the wallpapers I had. No luck for the smaller wallpaper sizes.
ItsMeMasih, can you please explain "how" you used QuickPic to set your wallpaper. When I try to do this, and am in the QuickPic Wallpaper screen, it's giving me the option to crop it. I don't want to crop it, but it won't allow me to use the entire image. (My image is 1024 x 840.) The crop area includes the entire width of the image, but won't allow me to include the entire height. The crop area will only shrink or increase, in the same proportions. I'd like to just use the entire image, as this will fill the three home screens nicely.
UPDATE: No matter what I did in QuickPic, I could not get a 1024 x 840 wallpaper to fit the height of my NT. (And emailing the developer was completely useless... language barrier.) The wallpaper came with my DecalGirl skin, and it didn't line up with the skin because it was enlarged. So, I went back to my original wallpaper method I posted when I had my NC, which reminded me that I had to use the stock home screen to set my wallpaper. Now, it's perfect.
Hi all...
I bought one of those touchpads for $99 and finally got around to loading CM9. Very happy with it but having problems with wallpapers. TP resolution supposed to be 1024 x 768, but wallpapers that size are way too large. If I understand it properly, it may have to do with different dpi for WebOS vs Android. Any tips please?
Thanks in advance.
there's no option to apply wallpaper without cropping so I use picseed from the play store to apply wallpapers and it works well for me...hope that helps.

Thanks, will try.
Two options for setting wallpapers without having it zoom in are multipicture live wallpaper and I believe wallpaper wizdrini(I may have misspelled that, lol). I've used multipicture live wallpaper and it makes the wallpapers look much better that the default app does. Haven't tried wizdrini on the touchpad yet, but it gives fine control over exactly how the wallpaper will work on my other tablets, it should work for the touchpad. If you try it, please let me know how well it works.
Wallpaper wizardrii works pretty good and has more options for cropping or not.

hi, i've been using HP Touchpad Wallpaper Applier available on Google Play. The difference of image quality was huge. I'm not sure it is compatible with every Android versions but you should take a look !

EDIT : it was working perfectly when my touchpad was running CM9. i've not tried it yet with CM10.
