I want to use the wallpapers in this app but as with all the other background apps I have tried you have to use another app just to get the entire picture in the frame. The problem is I cannot find the backgrounds from in my phone and there's no way to save the images just set them as the wallpaper. Any help would be appreciated.

The reason you can't get the entire image in the single frame because of the way Android handles wallpapers. Here's a good write-up on it and why Android does what it does with any wallpaper app: http://lifehacker.com/5657727/whats-the-deal-with-androids-weird-wallpaper-requirements
Also, if you'd like to download the images from the app the Pro version allows you to do so. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rwilco12.WallpaperGalleryPro&hl=en
Thanks!

Vibrant display is impressive EXCEPT when I zoom in on photos (taken with a Canon G10) uploaded to phone, and viewed in the stock gallery. There seems to be some degradation in the photo quality when I zoom in or try to use as wallpaper. I notice this on 5mp+ photos. Detail gets very fuzzy on Vibrant screen. Can anyone explain this to me?
It has something to do with the compression they used.. There's a thread about this in the galaxy s forums, look it up.... for wallpaper I use flikie from the market.. I don't use it to download wallpapers, just to set the ones I want from the gallery.. works great...
It's the Gallery Application that was made by Cooliris. You can search the Nexus One forums, they have plenty info on this.

Wallpaper Unblurry "Trick"

I was a little confused when trying to use a nice photograph as a wallpaper as well until I realized that when I go to set wallpaper, the box you use to select the region of the image to use for the wallpaper is actually resizable. Just drag the corner of that box to make it larger, and the image won't be blurry.
I don't think that this is a problem with the screen or any of the phone hardware, but rather Samsung's software scaling of images.

I am aware that you can adjust the crop for wallpapers... so I guess my issue is more with zooming in on a photo to see more detail and it becoming very blurry.
Thanks for the insight and additional research ideas. I will try flikie as well
************
Update:
Oddly, when I use flikie to set wallpaper it gives message that the wallpaper is set, but its the default twiz "grass blades", not my photo. Annoying. Also no option to choose crop size.
Hope there's better gallery included in updates.
So, wallpapers like to stretch to fit all screens(or multiple screens even if there is only 1) is there a way to edit the system to cause wallpapers to stay on only one screen?
Reason being is I want to use this as my wallpaper but it doesn't like to be confined to a single screen
any help would be appreciated.
The app on the market called "Wallpaper Wizardrii" will do the trick.

Thanks man, Worked almost perfectly.
for the life of me i cant figure out how to add wallpaper to my nook tablet. it either stretches it or cuts it off. I'm sure its something I'm just overlooking but it's driving me crazy. thanks for the help..
Are you using the correct sized wallpaper? I don't recall the actual size but it's listed in Themes and Apps thread.

If you mean you don't want your pictures cropped like the stock gallery makes you do, I recommend checking out an app called QuickPic from the Android Market. The app is free and it lets you have better control of how much of the wallpaper picture you want to show.
I was looking for correct wallpaper sizes and stumbled across this site. Nice selection. And free.

I've been using the PicSpeed wallpaper app to both download and apply HD wallpapers. They have a pretty good selection of papers and using the app to apply the wallpaper changes seems to result, to me at least, to be much better resolution and cropping.
Hi everyone! This is my firt topic so please don't be hard on me if do something wrong. I recently flashed CyanogenMod 9 rom on my Galaxy S2, and I love it. The only thing I cand't seem to figure out is when I try to set a wallpaper, it forces me to crop it. Why can't I just leave it the way it is? Is there another way to set wallpapers without having to crop them? Thank you in advance.
Resize your image before you load it onto your phone if you find the crop is cutting out some of the detail.
The image is 480*800. I don't need to crop it, because it's the exact size. It really starts tu bug me. Why can't I just set it without having to crop it, like before?

I will try that, but I would like someone who uses the same rom to tell me how they do it, without having to use other apps. Why would they make it like this? I don't understand.
I tried Quickpic, and it forces me to crop it too. What am I doing wrong?

I shouldn't need to use other apps or launchers to do this thing. The fact is I use static wallpaper, not scrolling one (if I would use scrolling wallpaper, it wouldn't be a problem, as it lets me to crop the whole wallpaper), and therefore I downloaded a few wallpapers from xda (480*800) just for this purpose. On the stock rom, it let use the whole wallpaper, without having to crop it. On this rom, it forces me to crop it, and I can't select the whole wallpaper. Sorry for my English, if it doesn't make too much sense, as it isn't my native language.
That's the way the rom works. I also use CM9 & don't have a problem with this 'feature'. I choose wallpapers where I don't need to worry about details being cropped out.
Choose another wallpaper which doesn't crop out the details you want to see. Or use another rom if it's bothering you that much.

After hitting the same problem myself today, I did some fiddling around and I've figured out the reason for this behavior. Trebuchet launcher supports rotating homescreen. As such it requires your wallpaper to have both horizontal and vertical way of being displayed. The native resolution (or better, aspect ratio) that will allow you to select whole height of the image for CM9 wallpaper is 960x800 (or 6:5 ratio). I'm not quite sure why it can't be just 800*800 (maybe some limitation for when you have scrolling wallpaper enabled ), but that's the way it is.
Hope this makes things clear.
Here is your solution I hope
Download picspeed wallpapers and then install like a normal app. After that find the pic you want and try again. New options to choose size are available with your standard romantic or you can use the app. After I installed the app I unistalled the app and still was able to use the features but you may need to leave app installed
Hi,
It is more app development question, but as I mostly reader and don't post a lot - I have no access to dev forums yet.
I have my own wallpaper app (Awesome Nature Wallpapers) and noticed that it can't set wallpaper for lock screen when it runs on SGS3. When I test it on different phones (my old SGS1, GT7.7, Motorola Defy+, some Huawei phone and emulator) it is working fine - lock screen is transparent and wallpaper is visible, but not on SGS3.
Does anybody now how to change SGS3 lock screen background programmatically (I mean not from settings)?
Thanks in advance!

Need to use the stock gallery. QuickPic can do it as well but you still need to crop the photo using the Gallery's editor otherwise it won't work. Another option is to download a really old app called Wallpaper Set & Save. Works really well.

Sorry, I probably didn't explain properly - I'm not looking for another app to do it. I'm looking for a way to do it from my own app which I'm developing. Standard Android methods of changing wallpaper don't work for S3 lock screen background...
