I would like to set a wallpaper from a photo that I took on my phone but it crops the whole image off and I can't use it. Not only that, instead of being "scrollable" like it says they are, the background doesn't move when I switch desktops. Anyone have any suggestions? Even taking images in smaller resolutions, it still cuts off the image significantly enough that I can't use it.
Wallpaper Wizardry gives a bunch of options. Give it a try.

I downloaded Wallpaper Wizardrii and it's been the most helpful app thus far, thank you! However, the scroll function is not working as before... The Nova Launcher seemed to have fixed it for me temporarily, but I uninstalled due to battery consumption...

Why is that wallpaper is always cropped? It doesn't even scroll anymore on this phone. When you are setting a wallpaper, you choose a pic, and with the right resolution, you just select the whole thing. And then on the home screen it's not the whole picture. Why?

I think it has to do with the 3D carousel Rosie. Anything without the 3D Rosie has scrollable wallpaper.

Yeah, the carousel is fun for the first few spins, but then the novelty wears off. I wish that HTC had made the WP scroll until the carousel started or something. Hell, I could do without the carousel altogether if they'd let us disable it. Confining us to a 9:16 slab of screen is pretty lame, regardless of the resolution.
I just want horizontal layout for home screen. I don't get it, what's the big deal? I remember my BB Storm had it years ago.

Can someone tell me how to change my background to all black the jpg I had for my last phone, which was the atrix, worked fine but it does not work on this phone. I also took a picture with my hand over the lens to make it all black and tried to make that my background and that also did not work. What am I missing??? Thanks in advance.
Can you set any other pic from your gallery as a wallpaper? If you can, there's no reason you couldn't set your black jpg or the one you took with your finger over the lens.

Thats correct, I took another picture and when I tap on that photo it gives me the option to crop but not the photo with all black :\. I took another picture and that worked.... not sure why I didn't do that from the beginning
I get my wallpapers for my comp from interfacelift.com
Now that my phone has similar resolution size I also got some for my phone there too...
For some reason I have to crop all the pics to make them my wallpaper. But what I don't understand is why can't I make my wallpapers look like they did stock. My wallpapers are too zoomed in. I can't capture the true beauty of this screen..... Can anyone help me understand and/or help me find some beautiful wallpapers??

The International Note's wallpaper select tool is far better than the crippled PoS on the AT&T Note. I recommend an app called 'Wallpaper Wizardrii' which allows you to set and manipulate any image for a wallpaper. I've used it for a long time and it's an absolute godsend!
Agreed with juzz86. Use wallpaper wizardrii and if you're using a scrolling wallpaper set it to "stretch landscape".

I use quickpic as a gallery replacement app, much better, you can set wallpapers properly with that too.
Thanks guys I'll be sure to check them out.

Another quickpic recommendation, been working well, both on GB and ICS
First post and new android user so please bear with me...
Scrolling wallpaper seems to work with Nova launcher if I choose from 'wallpaper' but if I choose an image from'gallery' I get forced to crop it. I was looking for some thoughts from experienced users on this...
I can't seem to find an answer on where to put an image so the device sees it as 'wallpaper' to see if that works or if I am just being a thick newbie and am missing something else. Ideas?
Sent from my SGH-I747M using xda premium
Samsung won't let you do it through gallery or anything of that sort. I've found when i use the app that I download the wallpaper with that you can set it as a background with that and it works fine and takes up the whole screen including the other windows. I use zedge.
Thanks, I will give that a try. I have a whack of pics that would be great if I could get them to scroll, I figured if I put them with the stock wallpapers then I might be able to trick it that way!

I did get the Zedge ones to scroll, thanks again. One step closer to manually setting it

Several apps in the market willl allow you to set a full image for your wallpaper. I use Wallpaper Setter.

Hey, this is really just a minor annoyance, but does anyone know if it's possible to remove the "tap the + above to customize home screen" message from additional empty home screens? This might not be an issue specific to the Optimus G but it's the first time I've noticed it... and if it is possible, could someone instruct me? Thank you.
P.S. I already did some searching around... I tried adding icons to the screens and then deleting them, but the message reappears.
Also, I tried deleting the screens altogether and making new ones... no luck.
You could use a different launcher
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda app-developers app
Yeah, that's an idea, thank you. Usually I hate stock launchers... but actually I don't think there's a third-party one that can compete with LG's stock on this phone in terms of aesthetics... I'm familiar with apex, nova, holo and the like... on older phones they can be a great improvement, but on the e970 they all seem like taking a step backward tbh.
Anyway to get rid of that text while staying with lghome?
You can try to find a completely transparent widget and add it to the home screen. But other than editing the lghome apk, there is no way to do it thought the included features of the launcher.
EDIT: Tested it out for you:
download https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.zooper.acw&feature=search_result
Change all the colors to 0 alpha
Disable all text areas
click save and you can't even tell its there.
Try using apex launcher, it is extremely fast and customizable. I'm using the monochrome icons with Xperia wallpaper.

How did you get the clock in the center? Are you running The Base?
That's correct. I also like the scroll and animation speed settings you get with nova launcher it has to be as fast or faster then the stock launcher.

That was nice of you, thanks. I'll try it with the widget, but actually you hit the nail on the head... I think what I'm really looking to do would be editing the ui somehow - I have previously taken the lghome apk and extracted it to look around... but I'm thinking it may be beyond me to do what I want. I have a feeling it's going to involve editing the xml files somehow, but I'm not sure... any ideas on where to start looking?
EDIT - Okay, added attachment just for clarity. There's really nothing on the web about this particular subject that I've been able to find. Maybe no one cares/all use third party launchers. If I knew where to look or what files I needed to edit, I could probably muddle through with a combination of common sense and web tuts unless this situation is going to require something like smali editing or whathaveyou, in which case I'd have an easier time trying to get my Beagle to give me the answers to the meaning of life and world peace.
Does anyone know where the stock wallpapers are located on the DNA? I'm trying to set a Sense 5 wallpaper but the Gallery app, Astro, and ES File Explorer won't let me set the wallpaper properly. I'm trying to set it for portrait yo view to entire picture, but each app wants me to resize it with its framing square. This is a problem because it distorts the image when it zooms in. Can someone help with this? Is there another way to set wallpapers in portrait without having to resize?

It lets you set the entire wallpaper instead of having to crop it.

It works except it doesn't fully scale. It leaves a black bar at the bottom of the screen where the wallpaper doesn't cover. I tried using the fix option where you change the numbers, but it didn't work. I guess because this is a full HD device and there's no way to scale.

Nice app but we are looking for a way to take stock wallpapers already on phone from HTC One (from downloading) and taking the entire 1080x1920 image and making it the background. With images already on phone you have to use that selector from HTC which forces you to shrink image...

Nope.
Install the app. Go to your gallery and select the wallpaper you'd like to set
Touch the screen and go to More -> Set as -> set as wallpaper.
That will trigger picspeed.
Have fun
I stand corrected. It takes a little tweaking but it worked! Thanks. You have to goto gallery app then go to picture you want, don't do personalize under settings...once you get to the picsee deal then you have go select the rectangle square on right to get full image...little confusing at first but it worked. The full screen option states it only works on picsee wallpapers...but when I selected the landscape wide option it highlighted the entire image and worked like a charm!
Thanks again!
