Hi guys,
Got a problem trying to set a wallpaper on 240dpi, I have tried both the stock gallery and quick pic to crop the images for the screen but both end up with the wallpaper being zoomed in.
No matter what I try I can't get the image to look right on the screen, any ideas?
Cheers in advance,
Blinky

Be more specific; do you mean the lockscreen or the home screen/s? If you have wallpaper scrolling enabled, this is probably why. If it is on the lockscreen, I am not so sure.

Cheers for the reply, I tried disabled wallpaper scrolling and it didn't sort it out. I did check the lock screen and the wallpaper acts the correct way there so it is just the home screen.
Any other ideas, using omega of it helps.
Cheers

Hi guys, I've got an image (800 x 1200 px) that I would like as my lock screen image on the standard Samsung lockscreen but when I use the native lock screen cropping the image ends up blurry. Is there a way to optimize the image using Photoshop or something similar for a crisp image?
And do I make the image exactly 480x800 or do I compensate for the status bar?
Thanks guys

I've encountered this problem on the home screen wall chooser too. Some problem with the way android down samples the image. It compresses the pic as well i think.
480x800 is fine, you dont need to compensate for the status bar, unless there's something important that's blocked by it.

960x800 is the size of scrollable wallpaper. 480x800 for non-scrollable, just like the above mentioned lockscreen.

My Rez is stock, but I am talking about the Sense lock screen.
Apologies for responding to your post, but it wasn't clear to me that you were looking to adjust the Android native lock screen. I didn't see that you wanted to make it transparent when I first read your post.

trying now...never heard of wallbase. Looks decent though
Anyone know the exact dimensions the wallpaper has to be for it to retain 1080p and also use the entire wallpaper instead of making you crop the wallpaper.

This would be good, but we don't have scrolling home screens to see the whole wallpaper yet. Do we?

Try the Wallbase app. By far the best and biggest selection of HD wallpapers.

THIS. No one is answering this question. I keep seeing people talk about their 1080p walls, but no one mentions that it seems to force an annoying crop. I want full 1080x1920! If no one else answers, I'm going to see if I can figure it out when I get home tonight.

Yea I mean the stock wallpapers that come with the phone are 2160x1920 and they still require cropping if you manually set them as a wallpaper via gallery.
So yeah, 2160x1080 works. What I did was I just found a good 1920x1080 image, rotated it, doubled the width and made sure the image was centered. I put together a pack of 8 abstract wallpapers if anyone is interested.

There is an app called wallpaper wizardii it does something so you don't have to crop the image to fit the screen I used it on my galaxy tab 10.1 might be worth giving a shot on here

Adw has scrolling wallpapers, you have to activate the wallpaper scroll hack under advanced settings.
I'm gonna get this ball rolling...i want to see more pictures instead of links...

I'm using 4.2 and can't seem to enable wallpaper for home screen+ lockscreen together. Is this option available on 4.3? Also for those using 4.3, are the on-screen ringer/notification, expandable volume buttons included? I can't understand why they would remove these...
1. Set the homescreen wallpaper from the gallery
2. Set the lockscreen wallpaper from the personalization menu
??? I can't see the problem?

That would work with still images... If one runs a live wallpaper, you're forced to use a still image over the lock screen... There's little things that they have seemed to tweak, such as when using day dream / photo frame, the ability to choose individual photo folders, instead of every image in the device...
Oh, I have never seen a live lockscreen wallpaper. It's not a stock Android feature, but there might be something in the Play Store that allows you to do it.

Yea I'd use it all the time on my Samsung devices... & on CM roms. I can't find it anywhere I guess they removed the ability to do so... They're making it extremely difficult to remain un-rooted!
Hello,
I noticed on the G3 you cannot set the lick screen wallpaper to be the same as the home screen.
On the other android phones I have had you can set this option, which allows your live wallpaper to be used as your lock screen.
Am I just not finding the setting?

Go to Settings >> Display >> Home Screen >> Wallpaper, and set your wallpaper using the "Gallery" app (first in the list on my G3). When you click OK you should get a pop-up confirmation dialog with a checkbox "Set on Lock screen". That'll set them both the same.

Yea that is for setting a static image. I am referring to the feature that seems to exist in all phones but this one, where you can set a live wallpaper as your home screen and then have the lock screen be that same live wallpaper.

No worries! It is a pretty neat feature. I use Muzei live wallpaper with the reddit plugin. It shows a new background from the sub reddit earthporn (beautiful landscapes and locations) every 60 minutes.

I always wanted to have a live wallpaper of the Earth based on my current location...or from orbit with a choice of orbital speed.
I have a feeling this might be related - but I also noticed that when you're setting a lockscreen wallpaper, it doesn't bring up any of the icon packs as options to pull a wallpaper from, like other phones do, and like it does when you set a homescreen wallpaper. Odd...
