Wallpaper Zoom? - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

Is there any way to set a wallpaper without having it zoom in. Every wallpaper sets with a zoom altering the original image, no matter how I set it.

When you select the wallpaper and the bounding box appears, you can stretch it out so that it covers the whole image. If the image is the right size (1440x1280) it won't zoom, and even though it will say cropping, it won't crop. Check the link in my sig for some correctly sized wallpapers to peruse.

Do this like I write and u should be able to use the whole screen photo with no zooming.
Go into gallery and select ur photo. When the menu comes up select set as wallpaper and not wallpaper option. There are 3 different formats u can use. Select the wide screen one or panaroma type style.
The whole picture will be used instead of having to crop manually and it will still be scrollable.
Thanks if I helped u.

I thank you for responding and trying to help. Although it tweeks my images a slight tad, they are still grossly zoomed in.

[Q]: Importing qHD-formatted wallpapers?

I have been collecting some great qHD-formatted wallpapers from around the net. They are 1080x960 resolution. If I open them in the gallery app, it will only let me select a small portion of the picture to display. Is there a way to embed these images such that they show up in the Wallpapers section and I can view the entire image as a wallpaper?

This is how I do it.
Long press on the home screen, select Wallpaper, select Gallery, select the picture you want to use, long press on the picture (a edit square will popup), stretch the box so the entire picture fits inside it. Save the picture as wallpaper and you're done.
Get wallpaper wizardrii from market.

I have tried both suggested methods. sjmoreno I did get it working this way- thank you! The Wallpaper Wizardrii app does add a lot more options, I will use both methods.

A 2 million + 800x1280 wallpaper website! !

http://wallpaperscraft.com/
This site has already made sized wallpaper for the note with good quality. It takes a load off of some people by having to resize.
Click on the image, then go to other resolution, under mobile you should see 800x1280 click then download! It fits the note perfect!
Enjoy
Wow. Awesome, thanks.

I don't see a setting for 800x1280 on any of the images. Just 1280x800. Big difference. Are you choosing resize? Do you mean to click on the image twice from the main page? Or once from the gallery, then choose the resolution from the dropdown menu?
Because i don't see it at all...and I've looked at a dozen different images.

Serious question: what's the difference, other than portrait vs. Landscape?

all the difference? lets say the wallpaper features something where orientation matters (not a pattern) for example, then it would look retarded to have lets say, a building, flipped sideways since most ppl and most launchers, are used in portrait mode.

I think a lot of people are using the phone in landscape, I know I am, and so this works for me.
But I do realize this is a problem for portrait.
Recent images are not sized for the note untill a week later! But go into catagory and you good to go.

Most people use their phone as a phone in portrait mode. The only time i go intimately landscape is when im in an app.
If you use a 1280x800 wallpaper, it will either be pixelated, or will have black bars on the top and bottom in portrait mode.
The use case for landscape mostly consists of games, video, or browsing. All cases where your not in the launcher. But when youre initiating a phone call, text message, or other phonely activities...you generally dont want to have to use two hands.
If its a pattern you can rotate it, and then apply it. But most cool wallpapers arent orientation neutral.
To get the 800x1280 wallpapers:
1. Click on a category. Ex. 3D
2. Click on mobile
3. There is no option for 800x1280, so on the end of the url add "/800x1280"
It will show all the wallpapers with 800x1280 resolution in that category now.

Thanks for the app. So I downloaded the app, long press and chose wallpaper no crop..picked my pictures in my gallery..it shows success at the bottom...BUT the wallpaper is of the default..it seems the only way I can get my personal picture to appear and fit is if I go to gallery...pick the pic...then take a screenshot of it...then go back to wallpaper no crop and choose it..then it will work...
Is this how it's normally done?

??? You need 1440 X 1280 Wallpaper images. All you have to do is click on the picture you want as wallpaper and it sets it for you. Nothing more, nothing less.
What photos are you trying to use for wallpapers exactly??

ok, i see now.. it was just pics I took with the cam (macro shots)..but if I download any wallpaper off the net, it works no prob..so I guess it was just that the size of the camera pic was too small or something..
Or just get the gallery.Apk from cm9 ( or ics galley from the play store) its what I use and it works just fine
Hope I helped

[Q] Background image cuts in half, how to fix?

I just made a new background image for my phone, however when I try to apply it, the top of the image is being chopped off, and thus I can not see the top of the background I made when I am looking at my homescreen.
It looks as if you have tried to make an image that is "twice as high" as the phones resolution, and this means I only see roughly the lower half of the background image i just made.
Question is, how do i fix it so it looks right?
Download an app called Wallpaper Wizardrii from the Play Store, and set your wallpaper from there

Well I just downloaded it. And it won't let me select the image I want to use however. It only shows 10 or so images overall and I have close to 1000 or more overall on the phone.
I would however prefer a tip/solution that evolved around using the native apps however.
Edit the picture and add a black border to the sides. The picture should be 960x800 or something in this ratio. But then you have to disable wallpaperscrolling in your launcher.

Why not just add borders to the top and bottom of the image instead?. It would make sense considering the image is supposed to be scrolling vertically
Dont know which launcher you are using then
The wallpaper is scrolling horizontally (for most people ) and is therefore twice your Phones width (in pixels) and the original height
960x800

Sorry I always tend to confuse those two . And I am using Go Launcher Ex. So 960*800 or at least that aspect ratio.
Yes! 960 width and 800 height

[Q] Using camera shots as Wallpapers

Why is it when you try to use a picture you have taken on the phone as a wallpaper it makes you crop it and then stretches it to make it fit the screen? Why doesn't it show just like you are looking at it? I have tried resizing with no luck. Any suggesstions?
Do u mean scrollable? Bc it has to stretch to fit the screen. Otherwise there would be black on the sides. Idk if picspeed wallpaper apk did it or it was there previously, but there's a custom option that doesn't mess with the pic size as much.
This picture for example. You see how at first the whole picture is displayed but the crop area only allows at the most, half the picture to be displayed.

Try downloading picspeed wallpapers. It gives u the options I have above. When u go to gallery>pic>more>set as>wallpaper it will show like mine were u can select the whole photo.
Works better than the stock wallpaper setting.
