Everytime I save an image off google and try to set it as a backround ,it allways resizes to a zoomed in version of the wallpaper.
What do I need to do to correct this ?

Try WallStreak. Do a search here.
when you save the image and try to set it as a background, do you get the little cropscreen box that lets you pick which portion of the image you want as your background?
If you click on the edge of that box, you can expand it to fill the whole image, and thus not have to crop the image at all.
Yes thats correct, but not for Streak with Froyo. I have the same problem. Independent on selected area the image is always zoomed.
get multipicture live wallpaper..you wont have to crop your wallpaper there.
Its a live wallpaper but you can use individual pictures as static wallpaper
Thanks man!!

try zedge works great on my streak
The background resolution without cropping for the Streak is:
800x444 on Android 1.6
1200x480 on Android 2.1
960x800 on Android 2.2
Have fun!
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.
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.
Similar to screensaver managers you'd find on other OS's? My preference is for it to randomise upon startup, anyone got any ideas? Is there a way to do it via Tasker?
Please bare in mind that I'm asking how to randomise live wallpapers, not standard, thanks!
There's an app called Multipicture live wallpaper. Allows you to choose a folder or album and lets you set things up. All you do is double tap screen if you want to change on the fly or let iit randomize on its own. This also puts a different picture on every screen. THE drawback is this app isn't ICS supported yet. It doesn't work on stock launcher. BuT if you get ADW launcher it works on that for some reason.
That's not for live wallpaper though is it?

Appreciate your guys time, but you're missing the point of the thread
I've used an app called Zedge on my Incredible2 and my Nook Color running Cyanogenmod 7 to download and set wallpapers and it has an option to randomize which wallpaper is displayed and change it automatically at an interval you set.
I haven't tried it on my TFP or ICS yet but I would recommend giving it a shot.
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.
