Hi guys,
I notice when I set a lock screen wallpaper its quality gets reduced - the same as when normal wallpapers are set.
Using QuickPic to set normal wallpapers gets around this but as far as I'm aware QuickPic can't be used to set lock screen wallpapers. Is there a method out there that'll allow me to set full quality lock screen wallpapers?
Cheers
I'm using this:

the quality is great ! :good:

I can't find where to change the lockscreen wallpaper... anyone know?
found it. Settings -> Screen -> Screen Display
Settings, screen, screen display
plus icon -> wallpaper -> wallpaper -> Lock screen Wallpaper
Your best bet is to go into the Gallery and after selecting a photo, go into the picture settings and set as your lock wallpaper (top right corner). Going through the normal wallpaper settings doesn't give you a lot of options for lock wallpapers.
I have a related question, the update to 3.1 automatically changed the lockscreen wallpaper on the device, I want the old one back! but i barely remember what it was did anyone have it saved? it's not in the wallpapers folder i don't think.
I don't remember there being a separate lock screen wallpaper. I'm pretty sure it was just whatever wallpaper you had set on your device. If you're looking for the IO wallpapers that were missing after the update, there have been a couple threads with zip files. Just search around.
Anyone know how to make a live wallpaper as the lock screen?
There should at least be a default to set a live wallpaper as both since on the Transformer and Xoom the lock screen is whatever the home wallpaper is.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I agree, once I noticed this I became annoyed right away almost makes me want to take it back and get the Transformer but I prefer the look and feel of the SGT2 better my self. Hopefully with the touchwiz update they will fix this.
If you look close in this video you can see the Samsung Rep has a LWP for his lock screen.
No matter how I try it when I try to set an image as a wallpaper if never fits the screen right because of the layout (Zoomed vs Normal). Is there an app to make 2-Stage wallpapers work where I can see the whole image on the desktop display? (main screen and app screen zoom difference) If I explained that weird just ask for clarification

Bit of a different one,
I've just downloaded a wallpaper for my phone today at 1920x1080 and set it as a lockscreen wallpaper, however upon turning the phone on the resolution is much lower, grainy in fact. Now I tried in the gallery to zoom in as much as the lockscreen has and there is no grainy image, so whats up with the wallpaper tool on the GS3
any help welcome.
Luke.
Are you using Touchwiz? Try a 720 x 1280 wallpaper for the lockscreen. If you are using a 3rd party launcher use 1440 x 1280 wallpapers.
Also be aware that the lockscreen shows a slightly dimmer lower quality wallpaper resolution.
deactivate ripple effect and try again.
Thanks for the fix much better

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.
hey guys
I have the issue, that my homescreen is darker than default, it doesn't matter which wallpaper I choose.
Is there a way to turn this "Grey shade" of?
Same here on my P8 lite, when I set a picture as a wallpaper it becomes greyer, not as colorful as before setting as wallpaper.
wow to much "as"
