for best resolution, create your wall in 1080x960 like as wallpapers default...
Wallpaper Set and Save on Play Store.
when you long hold on main screen choose wallpaper and say forexample pick from Gallery, or your FileManager,etc.. when you choose your image and it pops up.. long hold the box and drag outwards and that should get your whole wallpaper in!
hope it helps!!

hello, i am using the stock tw launcher,
i have a nice 400 by 840 picture i want to set as wallpaper, but when i choose to set it as a wallpaper it forces me to select a square in the middle, and cuts the top and button parts.
it also, moves the picture with he screens (i want it to stay still)
how do i just set a static 400 by 840 wallpaper?
when you select the picture, the square that comes up can be pulled bigger, just like resizing a window. grab the edge, and pull it. as far as making the background not move.....i think there is an app that will let you do that....im not sure.
You can use launcher pro from the market to make the wallpaper static. ie not move

i want to keep using tw launcher, the problem about resizing is that it wont let me choose the whole picture, only a square in the middle!
that's what i am looking to change.
Unless you use an after-market launcher (such as ADW or LauncherPro) you will not get a static desktop background, it will loop.
As far as only being able to select the middle of your 400x840 picture, it is because the panoramic desktop requires a background to be wider than it is tall. (The specifics for our phone/screen is 960x800) So your portrait image is being cropped to landscape for it to fit properly. Even with resizing as large as you can, your 400x840 image is being cropped to 400x333 and then stretched to match the size of the screen. This is something you cannot change.
The only thing you can do to make it work is to add empty space to the left and right of the image to make it match the correct wallpaper ratio (1.2:1 W:H) and then use an after-market launcher to center the image.

Use wallpaper set save or flikie , both from the market... if you use flikie app, then choose your wallpaper in the gallery app then click set as and a pop up appears , click on the flikie icon and that will set the whole picture as your hi res wallpaper .....

since no one seems to understand what you're trying to do besides me, here's the answer
when the yellow window comes up, touch the corner of the yellow window and pull it to expand it so it takes up the whole picture

I have a stupid question ... when I try to change the wallpaper a square box appears over the new image I want to use. This is like a crop box or something. It has arrows around the sides of it. I can click it and make the box bigger or smaller, but it will not fit around the entire image ... or any image that I try ... when I hit save wallpaper it cuts the wallpaper and make's it larger than it should be. I dont get it.... I am use to windows were you just hit fit to screen or cover screen and the wallpaper will fill the screen (either shrink or expand) and wont crop or enlarge it. Is there no way to make a picture that is let's say 1280x800 just shrink to fit on the screen without losing any of the picture or zooming way into the picture like it currently does ?
Please help !
THanks
Download wallpaper set and save from the market and use that to set your wallpaper. This will work awesome.

Did you install an alternate launcher? I did and the same thing is happening to me.
Basically when I try to select a wallpaper it's having me crop the image to fit the original B&N home screen. It gives me the same size box to crop to no matter which launcher I try to select the wallpaper in (I've got ADW and Zeam installed to try). When it displays the wallpaper it's zooming into the image to make it fill the much wider margins that the alternate launchers use.

This worked for me. you have to use the nook arrow -> settings -> home -> wallpaper in order for it to look correct. The launcher wallpaper managers are not working correctly.

Jeds right. Go to the original nook home screen and make your wallpaper change there. Btw if you rotate while cropping the pics, they work out very well. I am using the same wallpapers that I use on my droid1. Just copied them over and made a wallpapers folder on the sd card.

Ok so I have been searching around the forum for this for a while, and no precise answer presented itself. So I decided to just ask the question. HOW DO YOU FIX THE WALLPAPERS!?!?!?! They zoom in and get all buggy. I know you can use Mulltipicture live wallpaper but I think that drains the battery. I'm running BoS a4.0 if that matters.
quickpic wallpaper app works pretty good for me. The correct size, theoretically, is 1024X600. The reason it's cropped and resized is so that the system can translate it to portrait AND landscape modes, depending on the perspective.
Quickpic works the same way as loading from Gallery, but for some reason, doesn't resize as drastically. Just remember, that the center of the "crop" portion is slightly off center vertically...when cropping, position the portion of the image that you want "centered" in the top 1/3rd of the crop square.
While TJEvans is correct you can also choose a picture you want and crop it so the resolution is 1024x1024 (1024x600 is the original but if you crop a picture for that resolution and then turn your tablet in portrait mode it will not cover the screen)
I found the solution to this issue. Presently I'm using Flashback HC. It took me a couple of hours of downloading multiple apps and testing them and found that 'MultiPicture Live Wallpaper' is the key to getting the best results. Here's how...
Download MultiPicture Live Wallpaper from the market
Take a proportionate picture size of 1600x1200 or larger. Resize it to 1600x900 in Photoshop
Load the pictures onto your g-Tablet
Choose MultiPicture Live Wallpaper from the live wallpaper section.
Add individual settings from 6-10 as 6 being the left most screen and 10 being the right most screen.
Go into each individual settings and choose one of your 1600x900 pictures
Go to 'Crop/Resize Ratio' and select 'Fit to Fullscreen'
Hit back either once or twice depending on where your coming from and 'Set Wallpaper'
Viola! your picture in it's full glory. May be a little cropping but almost unnoticeable. Compared to original picture looks identical.
Cheers...
Wallpaper wizardrii fro mkt will fix your problems.
I'm the kind of android user that always uses one home screen, I don't see any need for more. What I have found is that any wallpapers I set automatically crop their selves to fit the screen as if I would be scrolling left or right to view the full image. I'd like to find a way to make a wallpaper actually fill the entire single home screen rather than expand as if I have multiple home screens. Is their a particular resolution that it needs to be? Or any apps that would do this. Thanks.
I'm pretty sure the best walpapers app has that option if it is not in the from or launcher itself.

Just checked, it doesn't. And no launcher to my knowledge will do this, and I've tried many.
MultiPicture Live Wallpaper might help
Thank you very much. This works perfectly!
Regina launcher has the ability to use different pictures on each home screen. Really neat option to have. You must also download regjna gallery. But i had 5 home screeja with all different pics of my daughter. It was my daily launcher until i switched to tsf shell.

Try GO Launcher EX, it's among the best of the LauncherPro-alikes and it actually does this. So do most launchers, actually... but specific to GO, which is what I use and can verify right now:
Menu > Preferences > Visual > Backgrounds > Wallpaper mode. Choose Vertical Screen mode. Now when you go to set a picture as wallpaper, it will want to crop to 9:16 (16:9 vertical).
For the Photon/Electrify, the screen resolution is 540x960. Crop to this if you are using something like XnView to prepare the picture on the PC. Or larger but with a 16:9 aspect ratio (or 1.78 if it's noted like that) and it will scale down. Better to scale down (squeeze) than scale up (stretch).
Whatever you are using to pick the wallpaper (Android wallpaper picker, stock gallery, gallery replacement (e.g. QuickPic), etc.) will choose the aspect ratio. If you have it set in vertical wallpaper mode, as noted above, it will crop as such. If it's doing the horizontal thing, you'll want to double the horizontal value (540, in our case) so 1080x960. That's only if you want horizontal mode, which is what you say you're stuck with.
If you truly feel that you cannot get into vertical mode, simply create a 1080x960 canvas and drop a 540x960 right in the middle, taking care to ensure 270 pixels exactly on either side. Leave the sides black or color them however you wish, and place this as your wallpaper. If you've done it right, you will only ever see the middle.
Why is it that everytime i choose a pic out of my photo album to set as a wallpaper it asks me to crop it with a weird looking box. these happen with pics ive taken and also with wallpapers that are meant for the xperia S.
I also have that box with wallpapers for Xperia S (1440x1280)
I think it's just for when you want to use a part of that image, you still can select everything so i don't mind
with 1440x1280 resolutions you better select everything if you want best quality, but with images with higer resolutions for example the images taken with your XPS with higer resolutions you might want to select a part of the image (if you desire) :good:

Hi Harsh,
Just a follow up on PicSpeed wallpapers... When I use that method, and set an image to full screen, with no crop... After I reboot my phone, the wallpaper image quality has been reduced and I need to reset it to restore the quality.
Have you (or anyone else) / encountered this and do you have a solution?
Thanks again.
Dodol wallpaper maker from play store. That's exactly what you need
