Why does it ALWAYS crop my wallpapers, even the factory ones too. I can't find a setting that will disable this and my wallpapers look like ****. Does same thing on aftermarket launchers too.
Some have had luck with certain wallpaper apps and launchers being used in conjunction. What works for me is using an app called "PicSpeed Wallpapers." Download it and then go into your gallery. Find a picture you want as your wallpaper-> menu> set as-> PicSpeed. Here you'll have an option to have it scrollable (doesn't work for me), vertical, or horizontal. Horizontal makes them look like "normal" again. Kind of an extra step but worth it. Hope this helps
My wallpapers look fine. You shouldn't have to use another app. There must be a setting somewhere. I don't think that is standard.
I seem to remember something coming up the first time I opened the wallpapers, but didn't read it and accidently clicked the "do not show me again" box. Any way to restore the wallpaper settings to stock?

OK, I think I figured this out. If you long press on the screen you can pick wallpapers and that is how I always have done it. Now the other way to set the wallpaper is to click the menu button (the physical button) then click wallpapers, then the type of wallpapers and when you select one it gives you the resize option. So play around with that and you should be good to go.

Do you have any other picture management apps installed?
Ive tried both ways and I always get the prompt to resize the wallpaper to the truncated version.
Ive also tried ADW launcher, quick pic, wallpaper wizardii. Nothing seems to work. No scroll. Very annoying.

My guess is that scrollable wallpapers lag this phone so bad that they just disabled it in the kernel. The GPU in this phone is way underpowered for the screen resolution.
adw launcher has always had this issue...had it with my streak as well. i talked to the adw dev about it and he was aware of the issue but couldn't fix it as he didn't have a test unit (and probably didnt want to be bothered with it). i assume other launchers would have similar issues (due to landscape transition sizing)
always used a live wallpaper or found a higher res patterned picture that could be cropped without too much pain.

I'm totally stock and rooted but I don't get the resize option on the screen long press way. Strange!!
No matter how I choose my wallpaper, it does this. If I choose a wallpaper I downloaded for 1280x800 sometimes the orange box is the size of the entire pic and it looks great. But it shouldn't do this with the stock wallpapers.
Something else, If I set the wallpaper during Go launcher and then switch to TW the wallpaper will resize itself and looks perfect.

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.

I have weirdness changing wallpaper as well, it always stays the same until I restart the launcher, and sometimes get weird glitchy graphics after. I had to stop trying.
ADW EX.
Set & Save wallpaper worked for me as long as the wallpapers were saved as png format.
I just had some serious problems with trying to set a wallpaper on CM7 using perfect viewer. I'm paranoid about setting wallpapers in CM7 now. Seems very glitchy in that area.
I've never had an issue using Walpeper Set and Save on CM7. As long as your graphics file was appropriate resolution (I am running three screens and using images 1280x1024). Using jpgs.
(Edit) Using Zeam and Launcher Pro
I know this is an older post, but I just had a similar issue so I wanted to post the solution in case anyone else runs into it too. What was happening to me is I would go to select a new wallpaper, click to save it in either Gallery or Quickpic, and when done it would revert back to the stock CM wallpaper. I found I had to restart ADW by going to Settings -> ADW Launcher -> Restart ADW in order for the new wallpaper to show. This just started happening since I installed to emmc, so not sure why, but this works reliably now.

Yeah, of course that works but it's annoying. I switched to Launcher Pro and that problem went away, so there's something weird with wallpaper and ADW.
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.

Had same problem, stopped using stock gallery to select wallpaper, and started using qpix to select wallpaper, and it works fine for me now. Seems problem for me was the stock gallery app I was using to select the wallpaper.

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.
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.

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.
Sent from my BNTV250 using Tapatalk
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?

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.

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 don't have the stretch/fixed option, I've got "Vertical screen mode" and "Default mode" under soft menu option --> Screen Settings --> Wallpaper Mode...
That's it, sorry. I wasn't looking at the options on my NT when I wrote that.

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.
