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?

Try using this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.twistedapps.wallpaperwizardrii&hl=en
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.

use picspeed https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.srsdev.wallpapers&hl=en
and use the gallery to browse for your wallpapers and set it up full screen! no blacks.

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!

I'm trying to make a certain image my wallpaper, but want to capture the entire image and not crop any of it out or distort it in any way. What dimensions does it have to be in? One wallpaper made for this purpose at 480x854 worked, but it was a bad quality picture, when I tried another 480x854 image it wouldn't work. I was forced to cropping it. So how can I do this?
You might want to try some of the wallpaper programs on the market.

I TRIED THIS AND ALSO flikie hd............. THIS DOESNT DO IT
Another one (and my favorite) is QuickPic. When used to select a wallpaper it defaults to crop mode, but you can also select "No cropping", in that case the image is passed to the wallpaper setter directly.

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...
Do u guys know what the best size/resolution for the lock screen wallpaper is? I can't get it right and my high res pictures end up looking distorted... Thanks

What are you setting it with?
The stock gallery... sucks, use quikpic, don't uninstall or freeze the stock gallery you need it to be able to set the lock screen wallpaper with quikpic...if it's not present that option won't appear in quikpic

Actually i use gallery 3d so i don't freeze that app.... Quickpik is what i am using to set it... I just can't seem to get.that hd looking quality even when i use large pics that are 1600x1200... I figure.their is a resolution that would allow you the perfect quality with the CEO box expanded fully.. U know what i mean?

I'm on Jedi Rom using the stock launcher and I love this particular wallpaper but I can't set it as my wallpaper without it forcing me to crop it and the main thing I like about the wallpaper will have to be cropped off. Does anyone know of a gallery, app that can do something about this?

If that doesn't work, QuickPic will(and it's a great gallery app). DL it and when you go to wallpaper, select QuickPic instead of gallery. It didn't work for the lock screen though(since it has to be cropped), only home screen.

Use Multipicture Live Wallpaper. I normally use this for multiple wallpapers but it allows you to not crop and fit whole home screen. Just download from play store. Hold on on screen click wall paper, then live wallpaper, then multipicture live wall paper, settings.. And assuming yo uwant the same wallpaper for all, go to general settings, picture source, find the picture, and just go back and press set wallpaper.
+1 on multi wallpaper live...never failed me on the cropping issue. When all others tried to make me crop a wallpaper, multi let me full screen it.
Thanks for the suggestions I found out what I need to do. I had to resize the image with a program on my computer.
Anyone found the correct wallpaper size so when using it with Nova launcher doesn't get zoomed if you choose scrolling?
Its really annoying.

I am not sure of the correct size, but I use Multipicture Live Wallpaper if you like the idea of having more than one wallpaper. I look for wallpaper at our resolution (I am guessing 16:10)
I use 500 fire paper. Works great
Sent from my XT1055 using xda app-developers app
It's "zooming" because the image must work in both landscape and portrait mode. It will always do that no matter how big the image is. Make sure the image chooser you use shows both the portrait and landscape boxes simultaneously if you want an accurate idea of what it will look like once chosen.

I use 'Simple Image Wallpaper'. You can choose the ENTIRE image for landscape & choose how you want the cropped one to appear for portait (or vice versa). It is NOT a live wallpaper, that is just how it gets around the limitations listed by the Playah above.
Once installed, you pick 'live wallpaper' from the system wallpaper options, THEN 'Simple Image Wallpaper'. Pick your image(s) in settings.
Hope that helps!

I am using Nova Launcher on Note 2 and the screen resolution is 720x1280
multiplied width by 2 so 1440x1280 should be perfect fit.
Try multiplying the height or the width by 2 and see if it fits perfectly
hope I helped
