Hi,
As you all know, when you set your wallpaper it stretches out on more than one page.
I do not want this to happen. is there any way you can change this?
Lets say i want to use the below image and want it to fit the screen and not strech out.
Is there a way for me to do it without it looking bad?
I used a program before (cant remember the name wallpaperiwisisi or something) but that didnt work as good as i thought.
Image to wallpaper is a great app to use
I think you cant disable the scaling or wallpaper scrolling

There's a few Live Wallpaper's that will let you load an image and it won't scroll, can't remember their names though, but should give you an idea of where to start looking.
Try using QuickPic

Thank you. Will give it a try!
You'll have to use a different launcher.

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...
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?

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.

Is the any ways to set the lock screen wallpaper without cropping?
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2
If you go into the gallery and hit set as and set as lock screen it'll usually crop off very little depending on the size.

What you really need is
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...xLDEsImx3cC5zdXBlcmx1bWluYXIuc3dhbGxwYXBlciJd
Landscape Wallpaper (free)
I tried many of other apps before, didnt like them at all. This one is way too simple too use and actually works great.
You can customize it too and the best part is... its too easy!
Strange...works for me. In Picture settings you can choose 4 options, including fit to screen which should eliminate any crop.

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.

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!

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

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
