I have a xperia neo v running on stock ROM.
I want to disable the scrollable wallpaper and apply the static wallpaper. How to do it ?
There is no option in the gallery. When i try to set the image as wall the rect which maintains the scrollable aspect ratio. I want vertical rectangle to apply the static wallpaper.
My friend has Samsung galaxy s mobile running on STOCK ROM. and the good thing in it is when he click on set wallpaper from his gallery he gets two transparent horizontal and vertical orientation symbols. when clicks horizontal rectangle the scrollable wallpaper is applied. and when he clicks the vertical rectangle, static wallpaper get applied.
How do i get this feature in my xperia neo v on Stock ROM.
Maybe its launcher feature mate and SE launcher dont have it, you can try adw launcher or some other launcher from market for static 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.
Tried using d stock (images) wallpapers for lockscreen today..(which are stored by default under Wallpaper Gallery).Couldn't find an option 2 select those.Can use them for homescreen wallpapers...but to use them for lockscreen it doesn't provide an option.How to use them for lockscreen?
Hmm, seems you are not on KF3, cause in KF3 there is Wallpaper Gallery included in Lock Screen wallpaper option. Anyway, you do this,
Go to Wallpaper gallery under Home Screen wallpaper, then select Wallpaper gallery, select a Picture, Set wallpaper, then click on the Portrait mode, Save, you will be asked if you want to set the wallpaper for Lock screen too, click Yes, Done
Regards.
or settings----display---screen display---lockscreen wallpaper
Thnx...job done..still a lil compromise.. as in portrait mode d entire picture can't be selected.But newayz can use those imagess now for lockscreen
For Lockscreen 480x800 picture is appropriate, you can't use a scrollable wallpaper for lockscreen as you can't slide/scroll it unlike Homescreen
Ya i know tat..Got it ..On first luk..felt it doesn't luk d same as it did earlier...On a close luk realized it's luks d same Thnx
Hi there
When trying to apply a wallpaper (e.g. a picture taken with my SGS3 camera) to my homescreen I usually have to resize it via the gallery-app. But resizing lets the picture shrink to a default-form that does not cover my 5-homescreens. Therefore I always get some black bars on the right and the left side...
Any idea how I can fix this or how I can keep the gallery app from not resizing my pictures to the default-size that only seems to cover 1 homescreen?

Are u using any other launcher than TW? Or scrollable TW mod? one work around is using "gallery ICS" from market to set your wallpaper
Currently I'm using the Nova Launcher. Is this an issue? Will try to download the ICS Gallery and hope it works well with the Nova Launcher
***Update: Wow, it works. Gallery ICS can resize my pictures and they fit to my 5-Homescreen Nova Launcher.... GREAT!! Many thanks

:victory: The default gallery asks you to crop the picture since TW launcher does not support scrollable wallpapers. However its a problem with other launchers. You can either disable wallpaper scrolling in launcher settings or use this gallery to set full length scrollable wallpapers
I just installed Nova Launcher for a change of pace on my Rezound, and it has altered the way the wallpaper works--even in the stock Sense launcher.
Initially, I had a picture set as my wallpaper in portrait orientation...after installing Nova, that has been cropped down to a landscape orientation, despite the fact that it does not scroll.
Even after uninstalling the launcher the wallpaper does not revert back to its initial behavior. Ideally I'd like to keep the launcher and have portrait wallpaper, but I'd even settle for going back to stock and having this work the way it used to.
Any ideas?
No problems with wallpaper and Nova on my Rezound...using it now.

The problem is that it does not support wallpaper in the Portrait format. I was able to get it to work temporarily with the PicSpeed Wallpapers app, but once Nova Launcher was closed and re-opened it cropped the wallpaper again.
Nobody else has tried to set a wallpaper in portrait with this launcher?
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.
