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

Is it just me or does this phone really not support panoramic homescreen wallpapers by default? What I mean is so the wallpaper moves along when you swipe between the homescreens.

It doesn't. But there is an app already on google play that is for this phone and it works quite well.
im using apex and when i choose a wallpaper, im only allowed to crop the same size picture as a i would on the touchwiz homescreen. how can i use my wider wallpapers (so that my phone looks normal when scrolling or when its in landscape mode) on apex?
i have quickpic insalled, so when i go to set wallpaper it gives me option to edit using quickpic, and it lets you crop properly for apex, i am using apex too, hope that helps...

i had this on the omega rom.
when selecting photo from gallery, have your phone in landscape and it will fill all screens. when its in portrait it only fills the screen you are on.

I use chompSMS and Nova Launcher. I'm wondering if there is anywhere I can find the stock motorola SMS icon? I tried taking a screenshot and cropping the icon from my computer but Nova Launcher scales the icon in a way that makes it appear larger than the dialer, email, and browser icon when they should be the same size. Any suggestions?

maybe when ya cropped it, it was to the same size as the icons should be but u prob didn't leave space around the borders, so they don't look bigger than the default icons?
just a thought..

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?
