Few questions about setting my backgrounds. I just installed the super nexus Rom. First, I can't figure out how to set a lock screen picture at all. It's just transparent to my home screen pic.. can't figure how to do it separate. And second.. I can't figure out how to set a stationary full size background. I have a portrait style picture that I want as my backgrounds but any way I try it forces me to crop it and zooms in on the picture way too far.
Thanks

im not on this rom so not sure if that is a good answer for you......but in most roms im assuming it would be under settings>customization or rom control>lock screen>background. from there there should be some options like fill color, custom image and default wallpaper.
you can use QuickPic to choose a wallpaper and crop it o how you like and you can use a launcher like Apex or Nova and uncheck wallpaper scroll.

your on supernexus dont expect cm type features its meant to be an AOSP feel, as for cropping thats also part of aosp haha and many other roms... but a way around that is to either use
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...50YW1hbmVnaS53YWxscGFwZXIubXVsdGlwaWN0dXJlIl0.
or
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...S50d2lzdGVkYXBwcy53YWxscGFwZXJ3aXphcmRyaWkiXQ..
both apps can apply full wallpapers without the need to crop
I'm realizing that super nexus is super basic, huh.
Haha yeah maybe I'll take a look at the other roms. For now wallpaper wizardry did the trick along with magic lock app but kind of unnecessary.. :/

It seems as though the wallpaper no longer scrolls with Sense 3.0. This sucks, and there doesn't seem to be any sort of workaround. Not that I was going to stick with the stock launcher for long anyway but it would have been nice. The launcher isn't even semi-transparent like I hoped it would be. ROOT can't come fast enough!

yeah i noticed that too now i need to re-size all of my images unless we can find a fix for that, not a deal breaker on my end either and the sensitivity of the scroll would be nice to adjust i have barely touching it and sending it in full carousel spin
Might have something to do with the continuous home screen scroll and 3d carousel ...

That is probably it. HTC should have made the wallpaper scroll until the carousel effect started.

just found that out today. searched the forum to see if anyone knew and found this. Totally hate that carousel! it totaly killed my favorite and only live wallpaper i used. https://market.android.com/details?id=org.tamanegi.wallpaper.multipicture&feature=search_result
Is there any option at all to turn that BS carousel off..!?. (i did read through whole thread just wondering again) had speacial pictures of family on each of the home screens that meant something to me.
Use another launcher besides sense if you want wallpaper scrolling

Totally not understand HTC why disable this option.
Ok, really really hope that I am missing something obvious here. When ever I choose a wallpaper to set, it makes me zoom in WAY too much . Wallpapers that I used a lot on my Evo4G are now just 1/3 showing on my 3D. Is there something that I'm missing here, or what is the problem, and is there a solution? This is really the ONLY thing that is frustrating me about this awesome phone.
The new carousel feature makes it so wallpapers are static. And I dont know why most become so zoomed in.

You need to size the wallpapers to the phones resolution.

I felt the same way about wallpapers on the 3D until I saw someone suggest HD Wallpapers from the market and this has been a good solution for me as far as wallpapers go. Lots of great HD pics and no cropping, you just select the pic and that's it.

Also noticed after a while for whatever reason, the wallpaper will zoom way in, and when you go to re crop it the size of the cropping tool is squared and no longer rectangle. A reboot fixes it and the wallpaper is zoomed back out. I suppose it could be the rom im using which Chogardjr3d.
Try wallpaper wizardrii in from the market! Great for setting pictures as wallpaper and automatically sizes it for your screen!

wallpaper set and save is a must have for any sense device. lets you set pics as wallpapers at native res with NO cropping.
Figured out today what may be causing the wallpaper to blow way up. Probably the same problem when the home screen gets stuck on 3d when you hit the back button from the camera too fast. Its the only time my wallpaper gets huge and when I go to change it the cropping feature is double the size as well. Only way to get it back to normal is open camera and back out slowly or reboot.

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.

Hello, I am having a little issue with my wallpapers. Any of them that have a fading effect end up with a weird thing happening to them. The wallpaper I am trying to use is a basic faded blue wallpaper but when I use it as a wallpaper it gets pixelated. It looks fine on the computer and in PhotoShop, but not the phone. This happens with all pictures like that, from my computer, Zedge, where ever.
So, is there any way to fix this pixely looking picture into what it really is? Any option I can change? I am using ThaUnknownArtist's Ice Cream Sandwich Final ROM. I know it is not the launcher, since I have tried it with Go, LP, and ADW.
Sorry I can't post the pictures, I am new on XDA and it won't let me post outside URL's. Thanks to anyone with an answer!
I think it's so because our phones screen outputs only 265K colors instead of 16M like some other phones.

No, it doesn't have to do with the screen. Just tried the same picture on another Optimus V and it looked fine. Maybe it's the ROM? I'll see what I can do. Any tips though?

In CM7 roms there is a option for surface dithering, if its unchecked then this might also cause your symtoms

there still are these GIF-like colors also when surface dithering is enabled.
It is a known issue caused by the poor screen of p500 and the lack of dithering in some roms. A workaround is to download quickpic from market and put a wallpaper through that app. Dithering problems is almost gone in quickpic
Thank you! I put the wallpaper through Quick Pic and it fixed it. Seems like it was a problem with the gallery.

I know the resolution doesn't always jive with the wallpaper size.

1920x1080 according to this wallpaper Asus provided.
1920x1280. problem is finding a background that looks good the way HC/ICS crops the image. If you pick something were the focus is close up and fills the screen it looks like crap when you crop it. The key is to choose a background were the focus is smaller and takes up less real estate, that way when you crop it you get what looks like a full image on your display.
1920x1408
You can find allot of info about wallpapers and Android cropping if you do a search. Take a look in the Galaxy tab/xoom/transformer section and you will find different ways on how to set wallpaper.
I personally like the app "wallpaper slideshow" no cropping.
place the image you like in a separate folder. Can place many pictures here and you can change your wallpaper with a dubbel tapp on the homescreen.
choose to set a live wallpaper and select wallpaper slideshow.
choose the folder you made.

This is the correct answer. This aspect wallpaper is designed to remain on screen at any orientation of the TFPrime.

Use Multipic live wallpaper. No matter what size pic you use, it'll line it up perfectly.
