Why is it that every time I reboot or boot or ADW reloads or something, my wallpaper looks over sized? It happens with everyone. I moved the apps to the internal memory thinking it was because of that and its still the same. I've tried a whole bunch of different wallpapers and they all do the same. :/
After some research, I found out there's no cure for the zoomed in wallpaper. I'm not the only one with the problem and there's a whole bunch of other people with it. Does anyone here have a hint or clue as to what causes this?

Hi all
Everytime i switch to another Launcher (Go Launcher, LauncherPro) the Homescreen Wallpaper looks bigger!?!
Has anyone with a SGS2 the same problem?
And what can i do?
The Home screen wallpaper with other launchers look like sh!t, that's one of the reason why I don't even look at them anymore. Asked the same query here and there, got NO reply
Regards.
Same happens to me, but if I switch to TWLauncher and back to the other, it will be fixed. Also, it doesn't happen on every wallpaper, only certain ones that it happens every time. Maybe it's a certain size or filetype issue that causes it?
Day one problem with the Atrix!! Still haven't encountered anybody with this problem, but I really would like a solution. It's driving me nuts!!
The best way for me to describe it is a fluctuating wallpaper. It will change it's cropping constantly like it is zoomng in and out. It happens on all launchers. I mostly use adw ex and have messed around all different settings but still have not managed to stop it. I have tried different wallpaper selecting apps to custom crop them, i've cropped them myself on GIMP, nothing seems to stop it. It drives me nuts and I wish it would just go away. I've always done complete wipes before flashing different roms hoping it would disappear but every rom is the same.
Any help would be appreciated...
Does it do this on stock motoblur launcher?

The only thing I never really tried... I downloaded a replacement right from the bat. I do however remember the stock motoblur launcher was not cropping wallpapers correctly and i was getting a black border around my wallpapers.
I'm not sure what triggers it, but my wallpaper will be full screen, then all of a sudden it'll just be a square in the middle, as in the sides get cut off, if I rotate it, it usually goes back to normal once it's horizontal again, but it randomly does this and it's driving me so crazy. It's rooted and I'm running Starburst... I've been searching for posts about this but I can't find anything, helpppp. SO annoying!
It doesn't seem to matter what launcher I'm using either.
Same problem for me... Any idea for fixing it ?
To be honest getting wallpaper set on this thing is way harder than it should be, I still haven't worked out a good way to do it. It just ends up cropped, or fugly, or both.
Way harder than it needs to be.
I can get a nice looking wallpaper cropped and everything, but when I'm doing things it randomly gets cut off and looks like crap.

Yeah I just saw the same thing happen.
So how does everyone get wallpaper to show up without it being cropped? Do you need to download WP larger than 1280x800 so that it can be cropped down to that, or is there an app that'll do it? I've tried several but none seem to work.
I have a thread here discussing how you correctly size a wallpaper to fit your tablet.
So far I've worked out how to do it for ADW Launcher, which selects wallpapers the same way it does for Android phones but I need to look a bit more into TouchWiz.
Other than that there are a number of apps that offer you more control over your wallpapers.Firstly there's MultiPicture Live Wallpaper which allows you to set different images on each page of your homescreen.
Secondly there's Wallpaper for Tablets which lets you set a different landscape and portrait wallpaper and will correctly display a 1280x800 image without cropping.
Last, there's Wallpaper Wizardrii but the controls are really poor and it doesn't offer you anything that one or other of the first two apps I linked-to can't do.
To begin with, I'm far from new to Android, just new to Samsung and the Note.
Also - I know I'm not the only one with this problem but I haven't run across a solution yet. I can take and image I want to use as a wallpaper and, on the lock screen and the Touch whiz home screen and it looks exactly like I want it to. But, since I'm one of those folks who dislikes the fact that I can't swap out apps on the TW launcher bar, I slap my own launcher on the Note to make it mine again. Unfortunately, then comes the annoying part.......
Whatever photo I put up as wallpaper looses resolution and seems to explode in size so that only about 1/4 of the original wallpaper/ photo is visible and what's left is very blurry. I know this isn't limited to just one launcher - I've tried ADW, Launcher Pro, Nemus, Go Launcher, Holo, and a few more I can't remember the names of right now. And they all give me the same problem.
So far I've changed the format of the wallpaper photo to .png or .jpeg and back again, tweaked the size and resolution of the picture, dug through XDA and a few other forums fort wisdom, and used harsh language on my Note - all to no avail. So, can anyone tell me what I'm missing or if there's any hope for me at all? I'm rooted stock 2.3.6 and would prefer, for various reasons, to stay that way for now. But, at this point I'm willing to consider options if all else fails since I'm getting quite annoyed by this.
Thanks for any help/ insight!
Use the Quickpic app to set the wallpaper.
Thanks! I'll give that a shot.

I use the stock ICS launcher.
it seems that apps moved to sd lose their icons [or they become invisible].
I've read a lot of threads about the problem, but not about solutions.
anyone solved this? new launcher? if so is it safe to remove the embedded launcher?

They should show up the next time the launcher is restarted, or at worst, upon a reboot. Or you could recreate them.
Any of that and the problem should go away. FYI, a problem I haven't seen since Froyo...
no, its sorta the opposite. first, the launcher doesn't need restarting. its on
the icons usually disappear on restart/cold-boot, whatever. it seems to be only a few that have been moved to sd card, not all.
but those few are annoying - like Dolphin Browser! disappears every day, put it back, disappears again. and others.
i guess I could try apex or some other launcher, i just hate having duplicates and my understanding is that removing stock ics launcher is ill-advised.
my further guess is that the problem will remain irrespective of launcher but I'm not certain of anything
